A Day in the Life

Spring has sprung!

I'm so happy it's getting warmer out! I love the snow,but when it's nice out, Mommy and Daddy take me out lots and play with me! I love to walk around our apartment complex and meet the other doggies. I only get along with the ones that are my size, .. the bigger ones are so intimidating. Morgan is a nice Bichon in the next building, she tolerates me pretty well.

Daddy took me to a new vet yesterday because Mommy and Daddy weren't happy with the other vet I had been going to see. I had Giardia and they just didn't seem to care that I didn't feel good and was losing weight from pooping funny all the time. I'm doing alot better now and the lady vet was real nice to me. Both her and the tech there thought I was a real handsome fellow and compliment my coat and my bright eyes. Daddy thinks I look too shaggy but everyone comments on how full my coat is. Even when the vet did that thing to help my rear, the gland popping thing, she was nice. It was over quick and my Daddy was there to comfort me. He's such a good Daddy. The vet gave me a rawhide too that is one of those dentachews to help with my teeth. She said my teeth were nice and strong too.

Mommy was home when we got back too making dinner. She makes such good smelling stuff, I wish I could have some. Mommy and Daddy only let me have vegetables people food. I got special dinner though because I was such a good boy at the vet. I like special dinner alot. Daddy will mix my dry kibble with wet food and give it to me in a special dish. My parents pamper me so much, but not too much to make me a brat.

Oh well... I feel a nap coming on in the sunlight from our patio. I hope Mommy comes home from work soon today so she and Daddy can take me for a walk! It's a beautiful spring day!

I love weekends!

I just love weekends. Mommy and Daddy are both home and can spend time with me aaaaaall weekend long. They like to play with their PS2 sometimes too, but I can always get them to play with me when I drop a toy in their lap while they are playing. I love my rope bone too. It's alot of fun to play that with my parents. Although sometimes I get a little too excited and accidently nip Mommy or Daddy. They don't like it but don't yell at me about it too much. Usually they scold me when I've piddled on the floor. We'll go for walks if the weather is good too. Every Sunday morning, Mommy takes me for a short walk down to the mailbox at the front of our apartment complex to get the Sunday paper. I like that alot! Sometimes I see other dogs outside too. I bark alot and growl. I want to protect my Mommy and Daddy! They usually tell me to shush though. I'm kinda shy around other dogs too. Especially that big one that lives next to us, Abby. She likes to play too rough for me. I'm just a tiny thing and Abby is too big! Plus she's loud and abnoxious.

I wish I didn't piddle in the house, it just kinda happens sometimes. I just play with them so much or there is so much else to do that I don't even think of it until it's too late. But my Mommy and Daddy love me anyway. They keep lots of toys around for me to play with. And I get to snuggle up with them at night on their nice, soft, big bed. I love to wallow in their bed. Daddy is the easiest to wake up if I have to go in the middle of the night... Mommy sleeps like a log.

My Mommy put my t-shirt that Grandma Flo got me for Christmas this past weekend too. Daddy thought I looked silly, but Mommy thought I looked cute. I wasn't really sure what to think of it. I'm not used to wearing clothes. I have so much fur, why would I need to? But Mommy seemed to like it, so I'll do it for her. It made the hair around my neck and legs seem to be much more fluffy then what it is. Daddy took a picture of me with it on. Maybe he'll put it on here if it gets scanned.

Well, that's enough for now... I want to enjoy my weekend with my parents!
