My first tick - ick!

I experienced my first tick this month - eww! I normally stay inside the house but on nice weather days, I get to play outside on my lead or keep watch out on my deck. Somehow, somewhere, I picked up a hitchhiker! Hmph! Momma knew something was wrong with me and that I wasn't feeling right. I hopped on the couch and lay my head on her lap and looked up at her with my adorable puppy dog eyes. That always works for getting lots of lovins. Momma was scratching behind my ears when she felt something hard. She looked at it and shouted, "Quick, MooMoo - let's go see Daddy!" (Daddy is the chief bug killer of the house, my cat brother Merlin is a close second - bol.) Both momma and daddy spied what looked like a sunflower seed behind my ear. This was a seed alright, a bad seed! Momma and Daddy worked together to get that yukky thing off me. I didn't like sitting still but I knew they were helping me so I was a good girl. Daddy got that bad buggy off and put some rubbing alcohol on me to help clean out my boo-boo. Momma gave me a couple of treats and I started to feel better already! A few weeks later, my boo-boo is all healed up and both momma and daddy check me every time I come back inside from anywhere - I got them trained really well! Plus, I love all the attention! Well, that's my first diary entry...and hopefully my last tick...at least for a while!

I've been tagged!

I've been tagged...by my Pup Pal Pepito (wow, say that 3x fast!)

Each player starts with 7 facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their diary the rules and their 7 facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to send them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your diary.

My 7 facts:

1. My daddy wanted to name me "Natasha" but my momma called me "MooMoo" since she thought I looked like a cow when she first saw me. Momma wanted to include "Tasha" in my name but thought "Tasha MooMoo" sounded too much like the 80's band "Kajagoogoo" - BOL!

2. I was a very good girl (for the most part!) sitting up front in the moving van when we drove all the way from Tucson, AZ to Bristol, CT - that was the longest car ride ever!

3. I am definitely a daddy's girl!

4. I am often told that I am a 45 lb lap dog - whatever that means!

5. Momma says I sound like an elephant when I run up and down the stairs chasing my cat brother Merlin!

6. I love going to visit my grandma, not only does that include a car ride but also I get to snoop around her house, too!

7. I don't like posing for photos - they're boring! I'd rather be playing with my Kong!

Tag Sale!

Hiya, ev-fur-ybody! Boy, what a day today! Momma and Daddy brought all this stuff up from the basement last night and left it in the living room for this thing called a "tag sale." They do this once a year but I still don't know exactly what that is! But I do know that my bed got moved upstairs to make room for all this "tag sale" stuff! Just another excuse for me to lay on the furniture, as if I really needed one - BOL!! The good news was that this "tag sale" was outside and I thought I would get to go, too. But that was the bad news...me and Merlin had to stay inside. Bummer! I'd rather be outside! Oh well...what's a dog to do?

So I was stuck inside for a while and I did not like that, especially when the room darkened and I heard it start to rain. I thought Momma or Daddy would come back inside but then the room got brighter because the sun was shining so I guess they decided to stay outside. Good thing they brought out their big umbrella! A little later I heard a lot of rain, thunder, and lightning, too! Now I was really getting nervous! But as soon as I heard Momma and Daddy's voices outside, I knew everything would be okay. Momma and Daddy brought some of the same stuff inside as they already had outside for this "tag sale." Silly, parents! Why did they bring that stuff outside in the first place? At least it was less stuff coming back inside - Momma and Daddy were happy about that. They weren't happy about throwing all the stuff away that got wet but Daddy says we didn't need those things anyway, that's why we were selling them in the first place. My Daddy is so smart!

Eventually I had my bed brought back downstairs and even got a dog lollipop treat as a reward for being a good girl. A happy ending to a confusing start of the day!

Going for a ride...to the vet!

Me and Merlin went to the vet yesterday for our yearly visit. I always like going there to check out all the other dogs and cats in the waiting area. All those difference scents in one place gets me all excited! There were only a couple of doggies there when we arrived but they were busy with their owners so I wasn't able to meet them. I whined like a monkey, as momma says, but I was a good girl and behaved. Once we were in the office, I had my nails clipped and a blood sample taken - I was being good then, too! The vet tech was so nice, she even gave me a treat! Then I had to get up on this metal scale to be weighed - that was kind of scary! I was sniffing out all these other dog scents on there - very curious! The vet doctor then came in and once I saw that white coat, I wanted to hide. I was coaxed back onto the scale for my exam and everything was good except my back teeth. I'm starting to get tartar back there near my saliva glands. I had a couple of shots given to me but then got more treats - yippee! The doctor gave me an A- because of my teeth - that's something momma and daddy need to watch, which means more brushing and/or a dental cleaning - eek! On the way out, there were more doggies so of course I wanted to stay and meet them but it was time to go home. Besides, momma and daddy had promised us special treats for being good at the vets! That's the best part - going back home for special treats!

+ + + Happy Birthday to Merlin! + + +

My brother Merlin turned 5 years old this week! I knew something was up when he was getting more attention than me but he was kind enough to let me have some of the tuna for dinner. That stuff is just delicious! I was a very good girl and even let Merlin play with his birthday toys without too much interference from me. Of course, I did have to investigate the new toys once he was taking a break from them - BOL! I love birthdays, anyone's really, because we always get some good stuff to eat in the celebration! Next birthday to celebrate is my Daddy's in a couple of weeks - can't wait for the food and fun on that special day! =)
