I AM my Daddy Luke's little girl!!!

Today I went to a dog show... it was exciting and very fun, but Louie wants to talk about that. I want to tell you what happened when we got home.
First of all, Mom ran into a bunch of SNOW... I still don't know what that stuff is, but she sure swore lots!!! And, we went really slowly the rest of the way home. In fact, we got within ONE mile of our house and the traffic was stopped!!! It is a main road and there were cars in front of us as far as we could see. NO cars were coming from the other direction. Some people were turning around and going a different way, but Mom couldn't do that cuz we were so close to our house and, when it snows and is slippery people usually have accidents right above our house on a BIG hill. Mom said if we went around we would probably still be stuck on the top of the hill. So, we sat for a whole half hour. Mom called her neighbors to see if the accident was on the hill but they are both really old and pretty deaf so she didn't find out too much, except cars were in Mom's big parking lot. Then she called someone else and they said someone took out a telephone pole on the hill. Sooo, we sat some more. Us three dogs really had to pee and so did Mom!!!
Finally, after another whole half hour, the cars started slowly moving. Now everyone went really slow cuz the road was ALL solid ice!!! Finally, we made it to our house. Mom carefully got out of the car and discovered our driveway was all ice, too. Sooo, she shuffled into the house and got the sand and salt stuff before she even got us out!
Now we had our dinner and we are outside slip sliding along. What IS that white stuff????
Anyway, back to my title. When Mom let me in the house I played my daddy Lukes famous game of go round the table. It was sooo fun I think I will do it lots! I ran around the table and when I got to Mom I zipped around the other way. She tried, she really tried to catch me, but I waited right until she could almost reach me, then I booked it the other way!! After about five minutes of this Mom was looking a bit frazzled so I ran into the dog room and stood in front of my pen, hehehe. Dad would be sooo proud of his little girl!!!!!!!!

Dog show tomorrow

Well, Mom has decided she is going to take me and Louie to the dog show even if it IS going to be cold. She said she would use the closed part of our stroller as a carrying case and we would be warmer in there with some extra blankets. Piper's appointment isn't until late in the afternoon so it will be warmer when we get there, too.
Mom says Kiwi's Mom is going to visit us there. I have never met her before, but she did meet Louie once. Louie is even bringing her a Christmas present, but I am leaving that up to Mom...I am too young to give presents by myself, unlike Louie, but I am old enough to GET presents, hehehe! Mom said they have tons of concessions there and usually have some great new toys for us dogs. She is taking a little money in case she finds something super for us. Bet she will!!! Oh, gosh... I hope she won't make us wait until Christmas for our presents... that is tooo, toooo far away!!!

Happy Turkey Day!!

Us pups up here in New England want to wish all of your pups a very, very happy Thanksgiving filled with lots of nice turkey. While the vets see more dogs with intestional upsets on Black Friday than any other day, Mom wants everyone to know it's not the turkey that is the villian!!! Turkey by itself is good for dogs... it is a safe, mild meat (unless you are allergic to it!!!) The problem comes with the rest of the Thanksgiving dinner. Worst of all is that great tasting fatty turkey skin. Man, is that stuff good, but, man is that stuff hard for us to digest and it really strains our pancreas. And, also a problem is the gravy and the stuffing, for the same reasons. Most of the veggies are okay, especially the sweet potatoes and the brocolli. But, watch out for the sauces on the veggies. A small piece of roll or bread won't hurt, but be light on the butter, please. As for dessert... skip that in favor of another piece of turkey!!!! And, you better stay away from the wine or you will be whining with a big headache.
Another thing to remember, watch where your parents put those turkey bones! Cooked turkey bones splinter really easily and can puncture your digestive system. Also, it is possible you could choke on them!!! If either of those things happen, you will be spending Black Friday visiting with your veterinarian and your pawrents will be angry... moms cuz they would rather spend the time and money on Black Friday specials and dads cuz they wanna watch all that football!!!
Soo, let's all go out and pawty hearty... but not too hearty!!! Happy Turkey day to everyone!

Diary Pick???

Hey, Mom never even told me I was a diary daily pick until about ten minutes ago! And, the worse part is that she knew it cuz she read the email message this morning.
I am certainly beginning to feel a bit left out here!! Everything is always Louie this, or Louie that, you get my drift?
I will say, however, that I had a nice visitor today. Her Mom has one of Pinki's puppies and they brought her for a visit. Well, me and Louie got to come out to visit, too, cuz this girl REALLY loves us Frenchies. (In fact, at her home she has TWO... one is Hilda's sister and the other is also related to me.) Anyway, we were playing nicely until Louie tried to get pushy with Delilah, the little poodle pup. He got quite pushy, in fact, so Mom put him in his crate. That meant I had the whole visit ALL to myself... her Mom was talking to my Mom and Delilah was playing with her grandpa Toto and I got to play with her all by myself!!! Fun!
Mom decided it was going to be too cold for me and Louie in our little in/out pen when the temperature dropped last night and the wind was blowing... that little doggy door was blowing straight out!!! Since we are not crate trained like Taylor and Tanner, Mom put a small expen in the kitchen for us. Well, she has since decided that she will put some newspapers in the in/out pen instead, since Louie pooped all over and smushed it all around the kitchen... not me, I was clean and dry!!! Maybe I will stay in a crate like Taylor??? Maybe Taylor and Tanner will stay in the pen in the kitchen??
Hey, thanks for all your visits today...I am almost at 500 now and can soon get my first treat!!!

More Frenchies in OUR house???

This morning Mom brought my Grampy Jones home from the kennel. She also brought Darrell home, too. She said she needed their kennels for the next few weeks with the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays coming right up. Louie was happy to have his daddy (MY grampy) home to teach him more about how to be a spoiled Frenchie but I only need my sister Hilda. She is teaching me all the Diva rules quite well, thank you very much! Mom says Darrell isn't related to us... good thing cuz he is the one that excapes out of the pens over here at the house. There is only ONE that he can't get out of and Mom says that's fine as long as she remembers to only put him in that one! Silly dog runs right up to the vets next door when he manages to get out!!!
Grampy Jones doesn't escape from anywhere... he is pretty spoiled, (that's where Louie gets it from!) He only wants to be inside chasing the vacuum cleaner or broom, or barking at the beep on the microwave or washing machine. I noticed Louie watching him very carefully when he was screaming at the microwave beeping tonight... taking lessons, no doubt!

Hey, I was left out!

Did anyone realize that I was one of the ONLY ones in our dog family that did not get a new diary entry yesterday?? That is sooo not fair.
I suspect it was cuz I am not spoiled like Louie, nor did I try to make Skye my new best friend like those other guys. I am just me, myself and I. And, I do my own thing. Mom calls it independence but I call it self assured. I don't need all those humans telling ME what to do... I already know what I am going to do!!!
Mom says that is sort of the definition of a Diva dog... they do what THEY want, when they want. It's different from being spoiled cuz spoiled dogs, (and, Louie is a GREAT example), show off all the time!! Spoiled dogs even think negative attention is good...Louie does stuff he KNOWS Mom will hate, just so he can get her to yell at him. That is sooo weird! Not me, I like being left alone to my own devices. Well, as long as someone gives me my food everyday, hehehe!

Sis Hilda comes to play...

Today is Mom's get out of work early day and it is Laurie's day to work. Mom took me and Louie to work with her and Hilda was there with Laurie so we played all day. When it was time for Mom to leave she took us AND Hilda and brought us down to the big yard. Well, she forgot about the time change so the sun was blasting us right in our faces down there. She decided to take us over to the lab pen since that was shaded. It was perfect and Hilda was better there... she was trying to escape out of the big yard for some reason!
We played with the squishy ball for a while, at least until Diva Hilda took it away from us!!! Of course Mom took some photos, so she put them mostly on MY page!
Hey, I got my first ever bath today...Mom is still trying to find my brindle color so she bathed me to encourage the puppy coat to fall out faster. It fell out, but I didn't see any brindle left! Mom says there is still time... hope she's right!

Pretty in Pink????

Mom put some jackets on us today before we went down in the big yard to play. I think she was cold so she imagined we were, too. I got a really nice pink parka. Mom said that my sister Hilda gave it to us. I guess it doesn't fit her anymore. It fit me okay, but there is plenty of room for me to grow into it. The best part was that the neck fit me good. Usually us Frenchies have a problem finding ones with big enough necks.
Louie and I went down to the big yard by ourselves, due to a little problem he was having with Tanner. As a result, he was trying to act big with me and I had to remind him that I am a Diva in training. I guess he understands that better now! Maybe tomorrow we will go back down there and have another lesson...I am sure he will begin to give me the respect I am due pretty soon...he IS a smart boy after all.
Gee, I just remembered my sister Hilda is in the kennel this weekend... maybe Mom will let her go down to the big yard with us and help me teach Louie the rules of behavior around a Diva...she is a very, very good Diva!

I'm home... where are my slaves????

Okay, I am home from staying with my sister Hilda now and NO ONE is waiting on me! She really tried to help me become a true diva, but without some help from the slaves around here, it isn't going to do me any good to be one! Mom immediately stuck me in a pen over here at work. She "says" we will be going home soon, but as far as I am concerned, I have already been here way, way too long! I need my Taylor and Tanner at least to wait on me... and hopefully some of the others will get the message as well.
Mom did say I am looking very good... she says I have my dad's body...good I guess????
Louie has his "howlaween" eyes on again... they are going in two different directions!!! Talk about scary......

A diary pick of the day???

HEY... this morning I wrote a lovely diary entry about how I was selected as a diary pick and the Dogster Howlaween monster must have eaten it right up cuz it's GONE!!
Anyway, I was checking on it tonight and it was no where to be found! Mom told me to refresh the page cuz I was at home when I wrote it and at work when I checked but it is GONE!!!
Soo, thanks to all who visited me and wished me well. I had a good day at work, now I am visiting with my sister Hilda. Sadly, Louie is here with me!
I probably won't write anymore until Mom gets back, unless Laurie will help me???
Bye!
