Merry Christmas!!

Wow- has it really been almost 6 months since I barked? That is just wrong. *Looks to the secretary with an evil glare* Anyway- we are moved, and are settled quite happily in our new place. I LOVE my huge deck- just don't expect me to stay out there ALONE unless I can come and go at will. It's great- I have the ability to sit outside and watch the world go by and not get out!! Mom loves it- though she IS a little sick of me wanting to constantly be out there since it has gotten cold. I also have a pen out back for when there is company or something like that... and I love it out there, too.

Now- I just wanted to wish all a lovely Christmas filled with new toys and treats to your heart's content!

Barkday!!

It was my barkday yesterday- I turned 2!!!! And Mom says my present is waiting for me to get to go and stay there. She bought a mobile home for us- I'm MOVING!!! It's the first time, and all the boxes are a little freaky ATM, but she SAYS it will be amazing once I get over to the new place. Any others who have moved- what did you think? The boxes are not going to bite me are they? And the new place is going to be worth the scary, right?

Spring has sprung!!!

WHOOO HOOO!!! It is lovely here today- warm and sunny, though it is a bit on wet side from rain we had yesterday. I got to spend a lot of time outside last week, which was just WOOFERIFIC! Mom's convinced that I need a doggie door- to which is I simply say "Ya think, two legs?" Hard to have a fenced yard and doggie door in a rental, though- or at least so she says. What do you think? Do the humans have that as an excuse? I mean, you'd THINK it wouldn't be so hard to do, right? All I ask is my Dog-ordained right to a sunny spot and things to watch, while not being confined away from the Mom. Our place is BORING, so I need SOMETHING- but I also need my Mom, dang it. Not asking too much, do you think?

HOWL I days

Sorry it's been so long since last I barked! It's been crazy around here with the holidays and such. Hope all got what they asked Santa for!!! Mom and I got everything we wanted, for sure! Lots of treats for me, which is all a pup could want, right?

October blues...

I am already feeling the winter blues!! Mom is making me stay in more and more... and this is NOT good. I am bored. But at the same time, it's cold, so being inside is not a bad thing, either. Wow... I had forgotten about this stuff. It is rainy today, and ridiculously cold. How can this be October?? It feels more like winter.

Thank you!

Wesley and Lyle and the whole pack, I want to thank you for the lovely gifts!! *Smiles* I've had a lovely, quiet Gotcha Day today- played with Mom, took a nice walk at the Preserve, and snuggled a LOT. We had gone to the Dog Park on Friday to celebrate, too.

Gotcha Day!

Tomorrow is a bittersweet day chez Micah and Mommy. On one hand, it is the day I came home with my Mom, and we celebrated that yesterday at the Dog Park. On the other hand, it is the anniversary of the scariest and most horrific day of terror in American history. Mom and I will be taking a few moments of silence to remember and I hope others will, too. Praying for those left behind, as well as those who have lost loved ones in the wars that followed. God bless America!!!

Scary stuff!

I gave Mom a BIG scare this afternoon on my walk. One of the farms next to the Nature Preserve has horses, and one of them was in the field next to road into the Preserve today. Well, I started out my off lead hike just like usual- went about halfway down the road AWAY from the field where she was- and then suddenly decided she was IRRESISTABLE. I dashed over and jumped the fence to play with her. Mom immediately went back to try to help me... NO LUCK. I would NOT listen. I was learning to herd, Mom says... but almost learned the VERY hard way when she started bucking and trying to kick at me a few times. I was staring her down whenever I could, and barking my head off at her, dodging hooves and staying out of the way when she would lay down to roll on her back... you name it. It took Mom half an hour to get me away from her, and she THINKS I got a little kick to the jaw just before that. I'm eating and acting just fine so she knows I'm OK. Unfortunately, until they decide to move her again, I think my freedom days at the Preserve are over. Mom is NOT happy with me.

Hurricane day

Mom tells me that there's a big hurricane on the way to visit some of my pals, and I wanted to say that you are all in my thoughts and prayers today. Be safe!

OMD!

I have found HEAVEN!!! I used to think that the Preserve was, but I was mistaken. I have been to the DOG PARK and it's even BETTER than the Preserve!!! There's a new one outside of Parkersburg that Mom took me to today. It JUST opened this weekend, and I must say, I approve! I met two labbies, a Golden and a Beagle that played with me until I was so tired that I crashed in the car on the way home. Mom says Sissy used to do that, and she laughed. I don't think I've EVER had so much darned fun!! *giggles and races around happily as he dreams during his recovery nap*
