Fetchin The Paper

Runnin down the driveway, pickin up the paper & bringin it back is one of my many jobs. I prefer not to give it up. In fact would rather bury or chew it than allow anyone else to take it from me.
It's a ruff life...

I LOVE Spring

The last few weeks have been heaven. I have been able to chase bunnies, rats, lizards, roadrunners and quail. One pair of quail decided to have their brood in the pool cover vault. I spend hours staring down into the vault watching those little cotton balls with feet. I don't understand why mom and dad don't realize what a delicacy they are. And although I haven't chased any, I have gotten to take a gander at chuckar, desert tortoises, hawks, several species of snakes and my latest pic posted - desert owls.
The one result of our fantasic spring, that may pose a problem for me later, is I may have to fend off a coyote or two in the fall...

EVERYBODY LOVES ME...

Went to cousin Burns' house. He's a yellow lab. Friendly. Thinks I'm cute.
Then went to Demon Daisy's. She's a boxer. A little over friendly. Thinks I'm some sort of toy. Growled and showed some teeth to her.
Made a trip to Home Depot with dad. I'm somethin'. I greeted every customer there. I do this hunker down, wag my tail, "I'm really friendly" ritual. Walmart could learn a thing or two from me. The cashier had never seen a cuter pixie sportin' Yorkie. (She didn't know about my recent Vet visit... sticker in the paw.. a nightmare really... hence, the short do...)
EVERYONE thought I was quite adorable. I'm very popular. Humph...

Friday The 13th

Yesterday went quite well. Started the day capturing my first rat. I must say I'm very glad this year was a wet one. Not only were our spring flowers unbelievable, but the number of creatures I get to chase is fantastic. On our morning hike I was able to stay on a Jack Rabbit for more than my average time. In fact, I might have caught it had it not been for Jack jumping over my goalie's (mom) head and getting away. I was so fired up when we got home. I tracked down my second rat of the day. And I still had time to help mom dig some holes in the garden. What a life!

Beach Babe

As you can see from the latest pic, our weekend at the beach was fabulous. We went shopping, ate at some great restaurants (I discovered I'm a big fan of grilled salmon), and the smells.... Ah! I've never smelled such a variety of great doggy smells. So, I guess the clinging to mom's shoulder on the trip to and from in the car and being on the leash was worth it. I didn't get to chase too much. But when I got home, I dragged a rat tail into the house as a "thank you gift" for mom & dad.

My Life Is So Busy

First thing this morning I trapped a rat. I tossed him around a bit and then mom took care of him. Then after lunch, I found a couple of bird eggs. I figure if they're within my reach, they're fair game. I spend most of my day either outside or looking outside. There are so many creatures out there for me to check out. When I wasn't busy at home I helped mom run some errands. I'm not crazy about the car. But, I notice it gets me to interesting places.
