Little baby handsome

We went to Petco to get me some WELL DESERVED TREATS after that vet visit!! Mama had PROMISED!

She got me THIRTY cow hoofs! Oh, wait, I gotta share with Joey and Buddha, so TEN for me, at least!

Mama has made us this GOURMET summertime treat - canned dog food stuffed in the cow hoofs and FROZEN! NOM NOM! It's SO GOOD!

Anywhoo, TWO peeps came to see JUST ME in the store because they said I was SOOOO HANDSOME.

I thought that was kinda weird.

The second peeps were enthusiastic and did baby talk - okay! I can relate to that! 'Cause I'm a little handsome baby!

A 98 pound baby, but still! Little bitty for 98 pounds!

I'm growin' up too. Mama says so. I have to stop eating puppy portions of food. NOW I have to eat GROWN UP portions of food!

Does that mean I can do what I want now? Mama says no. It's just so I don't get tubby.

What a big world out there!!!

Shakin' like a leaf!

That's what I did when I went to the vet yesterday!

Usually I have to be sedated to go to the vet because I get REAL SCARED! And FREAK OUT!!!

Last time Mama thought I acted normal even though I was sedated and I fell asleep when we got home. She thought I wouldn't need to be sedated for some vaccinations!

We got there and I was like, "Okay."

But THEN I was like, "Wait a minute, this is SCARY!!!"

I was trembling! Shakin' like a leaf! Mama had to put a muzzle on me 'cause the vet thought I might go MAD! Good thing I didn't! I just kinda froze!

It took FUREVER to leave, but we finally did! I saw a kitty when Mama was playing and I get FUROCIOUS! GRRRRRR! I will EAT YOU!

The kitty ran away.

Mama said that's funny, 'cause we're GETTING a kitty on WEDNESDAY!

HUH?

So much to say!

I have so much to say!

First,

LET'S PLAY BALL!

Then,

I'M HUNGRY! FEED ME!

Then,

I'M DONE NOW! LET ME POOPIE!

Then,

LET'S PLAY BALL!!!

Then,

I THINK THERE'S A SQUIRREL OVER THERE!

Then,

NO, REALLY! I THINK THERE'S A SQUIRREL!! SUPER REALLY!

Mama says bedtime now. BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT SQUIRREL???

Hair Gel!

I was bored today while sitting in my GINORMOUS crate.

Then my tummy hurt! Owie! Then I had to poopie! Right then! Right there! So I did what I had to do! I pooped!

IN MY CRATE!

It was liquid, like water! Water is FUN! I splished and splashed and got poopie EFFURRYWHERE! On the floor! The walls! My bed and bars!

I EVEN tried to use diarrhea as HAIR GEL!

GUESS WHAT?

IT WORKS!!

AND it smells just like me!!

Mama says we have to go for a walk now. Then something about standing on my leash and something about the hose and shampoo... hm.

A walk? YES! I want to go for a walk! Let's go!

New bed!

New bed! I took great time and attention and gutted my crate bed COMPLETELY. It's great! Mama got me a NEW bed today! She said I may have to work more to get an allowance! I need to pay for my OWN beds if I destroy them monthly!

Okay, so I've had that one MORE than a month. I think?! Let's see how long this one lasts, and then we can determine how much I'll ask for in allowance!! I must support my habits!

Mama ALSO got us FROZEN BEEF BONES. NOM NOM NOM! She says they give her time to do housework, but all I know is she's buzzing around and I'm enjoying a bone! YUM!!!!

Out and about!

I went to the pet store today with Mama! I wasn't real sure about it, but I did good! Several people told me how handsome I was! Well, that made me feel better FAST! BOL!

I met dogs and we all sniffed each other. I was sure to show them right away that I'm a puppy! I licked their mouths and said, "I'm just a baby! Don't hurt the baby!" It was fun!

A little boy wanted to pet me and I didn't know what to do! So I sat and looked kinda uncomfortable. But he pet me a little bit and we all survived!

I got a NEW TOY and some dog food! Yay!

Though I am exploring my surroundings again. Right now this desk seems YUMMY! Last week it was wires. Then Mama put yucky spray on them! Ew! That makes me thirsty!

Busy busy and growing up!

I'm a busy guy!

Last night Mama took me to the DOG PARK for the first time in a LONG LONG time! It was REAL fun! So much to smell! I played and ran around with OTHER DOGS!

I also stood close enough to some peeps so they could PET ME! I didn't pay them much attention, but they understood and petted me like I wanted!

This morning Mama gave me treats with something called ACE in them. It was supposed to make me a sleepy boy for the vet!

You see, I PANIC big time when the vet wants to do ANYTHING to me! And Mama said they needed a TEENY TINY bit of blood. Ew!!

We went to the vet and I was acting like I didn't have ACE at all! I was alert and wiggly and normal! AND I weigh 95 pounds now, and am still lean! I'm a big boy!

They took me back and Mama and Joey expected to hear the office fall down! All they heard was, "Good boy! Good boy! Good boy!"

They knew the peeps were talking about ME!

THEN, SUDDENLY, I reappeared! NO knocking down stuff, NO whining, NO big struggle. I did FINE! Like, GOOD!!

It's a first! Mama says I AM a good boy! Usually I climb the walls - literally! Mama says I might be growing up, or I might be trusting peeps more! Yippee!

After that we got our nails trimmed! It was okay. Kinda new smells, but they were fru-fru smells! I did good and only bled once! The lady said my feetsies looked like buttons! Maybe cute as buttons?

Now that we're home I'm feeling real tired! Is it naptime, yet? It IS?? Goodie!

STARE!

Mama is teaching me a NEW WORD! It's 'stare'! It's kinda weird, I know, but that's Mama for ya!

When she says 'stare', I'm supposed to simultaneously stare and put my feetsies on the top step of the stairs getting into the pool! I can do it!

I'm not real sure WHY we're doing this, but I think I can manage it! Mama says it's important I know where the stairs in the pool are. Okie dokie, Mama! As long as I get a treat! Nom nom!

I haven't gotten into the pool since that one time when it was COLD, and I get worried about Mama and Daddy when they're in it! I do like to play ball with them, though, dropping my ball in the water and they FETCH for ME! Good Mama! Good Daddy!

HI! I'm FRANK! I'M NICE!!!

We had a VISITOR today!! It was a NICE lady who gave me TREATS!!!!

Me and Joey ran out back and played and played and played!

THEN we came in! Joey and Buddha told the lady, "OH NO YOU DON'T!! YOU CAN'T HAVE OUR FRANKIE!"

They PROTECTED me from the nice lady with treats!

The LADY had to call my MOMMY at WORK!!! She had to tell the nice lady to give MEAN Joey and MEAN Buddha pigs feet!

Since when do we get rewarded for being MEAN? SINCE TODAY!!!

The lady distracted the MEAN DOGS IN THIS HOUSE with piggie feet and crated me up! Ahhh! My lovely giant crate with a piggy foot on the side!

I could get used to this!!!

PREZZIES!!!

Did you know I'm a MAMA?! I know 'cause I got the BESTEST prezzie EVER today! On Mutha's Day!

It's a HUGE water bowl!! And I can even swim in it! And drop stuff in it!

Yesterday I found the stairs & got in! I swam a couple laps! Mama & Daddy were acting kinda weird on either side of me! Huh!

Daddy pulled me outta the deep end. Mama says we're gonna have to learn where the stairs are!

TODAY they put this big bulky thing on me. Mama calls it a 'life jacket'. I call it a death jacket!!! They're tryin' to get me to get back in the water! With THIS contraption on?

Are they tryin' to KILL me?!?! It just doesn't make sense!

Daddy says this afternoon I can swim sans jacket and he'll protect me! Yay, Daddy!!!
