The last beautiful day is today.

Mom took us for a long walk today. Then we went to the playground. I chased and caught my chuck-it ball and Darcy sunned herself. Mom and I chilled out inbetween the throws. Mom said, enjoy kids, the snow is coming! Awwww mannn!!!! :( Wait a minute we can play in the snow also! Yipppeeee!!!! Saw mom putting some of my food in a baggie, she said me and Darcy are going to the kennel for just one night. Something about some workers coming in for an overnight. But mom said we'll be home Saturday morning. Sounds good! :) Dad came home early and took his motorcycle out for a ride. He's supposed to give me a new cow toe tonight! Yummie! A new chew! It's so warm outside, it's awesome. But mom said the weather will be doing a big change come Sunday. Good thing me and Darcy have our coats. Mom bought us new ones and we cannot wait to wear them! :)

Guess what mom did today?

Well the usual, fed us, walked us, took us to the playground. But then when she got ready for work she took out dads motorcycle and rode it to work! :):) The sound doesn't bother me at all! Mom want's to get pictures of me and her when she gets her bike this week. Can't wait! It's a beautiful day and we got to sun ourselves in the yard and on the deck. Mom started to cut the grass in our dogyard but ran out of gas in the pushmower. The riding mower had a flat and wouldn't hold air so mom just left it for dad to fix the tire, fill the pushmower with gas and finish cutting the grass! hahaha!

Hahaha!

Mom cannot stop laughing at my picture! She got me a a no-pull harness. Why? I don't pull,,, much.... Mom say's it's my only flaw - besides being adorable... just look at my pictures!! :):)

Another vacation down!

Mom had to take me and Darcy early to the kennel. Grandma got sick, but she's doing better now! I was soooo happy to go to the kennel I jumped right up on the counter! OMG! Mom was so shocked! Nancy let her take a picture of me on the counter with her phone. It didn't come out too good though. Then when mom was leaving someone brought in a pot-belly pig to board! :):):):) She was beautiful for a pig! :):) Well me and Darcy played with our new friends for 2 whole weeks! It was great! Mom thinks we both lost weight! Nancy told mom that if there is ever an emergency and she doesn't answer the phone to just drop us off in any kennel that is open and we're good to go. She's mom's angel!

Mom and dad took us out to the playground yesterday. Mom kept dressing me up with crazy things. You'll see the pictures soon. Darcy had it easy, I had all kinds of things all over! What gives??? Mom says it's Halloween time and this is what happens in her house! Oh well, as long as they throw the chuck-it ball I wear whatever!

Thanks HQ Arrrrrgggg!!

For selecting me for diary of the day! And on Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arrrrggg!! It's cool here today, the sun is in and out. Mom just gave me a new toy and it's got like a bizillion squeekers in it! I've been running around the house squeek, squeek, squeek, squeek! Mom's rethinking giving me the toy! Ha! I just had some of the fuzz stuck between my front teeth! icky! Mom got it out for me! yea!! Mom just ordered another 200 bully sticks for me and Darcy!! We're good for a while now! Oh yea, mom has been brushing Darcy's teeth and of course I like the smell of the toothpaste. So now mom is brushing my teeth also! I've got an awesome blue toothbrush! :):) Have a great day everyone! Arrrrrrggggg!!!!

Signed,

Grunt the Pirate! :)

Awww mom!

We went for our walk this morning. The fog was lifting and it was cool out. There were tons of scents for me and Darcy! On the way back to the house a big buck jumped out by the treeline. Mom was glad I was on lead, sometimes she lets me run off lead but not today. We got back and mom fed us. Only I knew mom was up to something. I didn't eat my breakfast. Sure enough, mom left around 10:30am. Darcy and I chilled out, then played for a bit. Mom finally came home at 1pm. The truck was loaded with bags and wonderful smells! I jumped into the truck sniffing each bag. Mom got all of the bags and stuff in the house and said, come on guys, lets go to the playground! Yippeee! I just wanted to run around a bit. So did Darcy! We both took off as soon as we got in the playground! Run, run, run! Throw the ball mom! Run, run, run! :) We had a fast workout and got back to the house in 30 minutes! Mom fired up the grill and was going to cook some burgers. She noticed there wasn't any smoke from the grill and found out she ran out of gas. Hmmpfff! Mom had to get read for work and didn't have time to cook, so she made a salad. Oh yea, she brought home McNuggets for me and Darcy! OMG! They were sooo good!! Darcy gets all google-eyed over them! Me? I just drooled!!

Gruntster Mobile

So the other day mom had a doctors appointment. When she got done she filled the truck up with gas. The lady at the gas station walked around the back of the truck and said, "I never heard of that model, what's a Gruntster Escape?" You see mom went and bought these chrome letters that spell Gruntster. She placed it above the Escape tag on the back of the truck. This lady though it was some special model. Mom said, it is. My dog is Grunt and this is his vehicle so instead of a roadster it's a Gruntster. :)

Ooops, speed bump! :)

Mom took us swimming today, well actually we just kinda walked around the creek. Darcy was more into the water than me today. But it still felt good. On the way back there were loads of chipmonks in the cemetery. We got just past the house that has the mini horses, there is some woods infront of their fence and I stopped, squatted and pooped. In the MIDDLE of the road! And it wasn't just any kind of poop, the monster pile kind of poop! :) Mom said I was a good boy because I went poop on the lead, but smiled at my drop location! Mom walked us back to the house and put me and Darcy in the playground. Then she got in the truck drove down and picked up my speed bump in the middle of the road. When she drove back me and Darcy were running with all we had in the playground to chase mom back up the driveway. Mom gave me a bath, said the creek water is yucky and now I smell like almonds! :) Darcy got a bath also and she smells like a coconut!

And yet another friend leaves... :(

M&K we're so sad to see you go. All I can say is whoever said mean things remember this - if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all! There once was a time when Dogster was full of fun and happy people... what went wrong??????

One Whole Year!

Well it's official! I complete my probation - one year down! HAHAHA! On a serious note, yesterday, the 13th was my official Gotcha date! Mom took me to the vets office to have my hips x-rayed. I've been popping like crazy. The good news is I'm fine! They couldn't manipulate me to get anything to pop! The bad news is (not really) dad told mom to take a chill pill. That I'm still a growing pup (I'm 69.2 pounds now!) and that I'm probably still growing into my body! Duh!! Mom said, it's been a long, long, long time since she's had a puppy. And besides I'm so big and calm that she forgets I'm a pup! Anyhoo, I'm fine! That's the bottom line! Mom and dad went to the fair while I slept for a bit. When they got home I couldn't settle down so mom sat it the recliner and held me for about 2 hours while I slept. Dad just rolled his eyes at mom the entire time! :) Then mom took me outside for potty and off to bed we went. I curled up on my pillow by the bed and didn't wake up until 7:30am! Slept all night. I'm still pretty tired, and sore. So mom said we're taking it easy today! The fog is here and mom is obviously taking her time getting started today! That's alright, I'm sleepy.
