I'm getting a visitor!

Every Summer Hilda usually comes and stays with me. I get very bored in my pen and, since I am not terribly friendly with other dogs I have to stay alone. Hilda is a female dog and a Frenchie, so she doesn't put up with any garbage from me so we get along fine.
Well, yesterday Laurie told Mom she was gonna keep Hilda home this Summer so Mom was trying and trying to think of someone for ME.
Well, this weekend my granddaughter, Lola came along to visit with Jethro and the rest of us. When she got here Mom plunked her in with me cuz it was easy. Suddenly, she remembered that Lola is also a female dog AND a Frenchie so she doesn't put up with my attempts to beat her up, either.
Sooo, Mom and Auntie Jeanne discussed the situation and it was decided that Lola would spend the Summer with me since Auntie Jeanne has to leave her in her kennel while she is at work and she doesn't have AC and Mom does have it here for us.
Whew, I was soo happy to hear that cuz I really didn't want to stay alone all Summer long. Now I have something to look forward to!

Diary Pick of the Day????

Wowzer.... Mom just told me I am THE diary pick of the day today!!! Hehehe, poor Beanie can hardly stand it!
For MY special day I shall lounge in the sun and watch the world go by. HEY, what am I taking about...it is cold and rainy and nasty outside!!! Okay, I shall lounge in my warm bed all day!
Thanks to all for your visits and nice gifts and well wishes!!!

Summer time is NO TIME for a Frenchie!

Ya know, us Frenchies don't have life in New Hampshire too good. There are NINE months of freezing cold Winter and three months of boiling hot Summer with a day or two of Spring and Fall tossed in, maybe.
Being Frenchies, we do not do cold weather cuz our noses are too short to effectively warm up that freezing air before it hits our lungs and gives us a huge ice cream lungache.
In the boiling hot weather, our short noses do not cool the air enough before it hits our lungs and gives us heat prostitution, or whatever that is!
During the Winter our short little legs also mean we have a really HARD time running thru the deep snow...it gets in our mouths and noses and eyes!
At any rate, in the Summer Mom has me and Hilda living in an indoor/outdoor pen with a HUGE air conditioner right inside so we mostly stay inside during the day. Sometimes, we may venture out at night, but usually there are moths and other bugs out, and once I even saw a SKUNK down in the lab pen. Imagine that, a SKUNK right next to our pen!!!
Fortunately, on the not so hot days, unlike today when it is 95 degrees, we have nice, cool shade in our outside pen so we can lie around and see the sights, if we chose. It is pretty nice, well, it is IF Hilda is here with me, but if she is at her other home with Laurie, I get terribly bored.
I am happy to say my missing eye healed up with no issues at all, and I must say, I am much, much more handsome than either Harvey or Barney. MY face is black and it is almost impossible to tell I even have a missing eye. Besides that, my face is flat so it doesn't show from the sides, either.
I know Mother hasn't been very good about putting any new photos on MY page, but she is blaming it all on the heat...she says we can't run around in the lab pen because it is too hot so she can't get any new photos. I am not sure why she can't take one of us lying in our beds in front of the air conditioner???
