Sammi Speaks...

The Nerve!

I am so upset! My parents have now banned me from the kitchen at dinner time. Abby and I had a good thing going -- she would hand me the food from her plate, and I would eat it. It was a nice arrangement! However, Madi and I have now been banned from the kitchen -- they put up a gate and everything!!! I voiced my opinions about this repeatedly last night throughout dinner time. I think I'll keep it up until my parents cave in and allow me to sit next to the dinner table again. This is ridiculous!

The Latest

Its been awhile. Things have been pretty busy and HOT around here. I've pretty much been indoors all the time lately because it always seems to be about 100 degrees outside. My walks are now in the dark and its still warm out. Good thing we have air conditioning. Its a lot to handle with all this fur.

Despite the weather, there are some highlights to my day. My favorite moments are when its time for Baby to eat. She's my new partner in crime. She shares all her food with me - just hands them over. Its great! Mommy has been trying to crack down on this new arrangement because she says its not good for me, but Baby and I are a team. What's she going to do, put us both in time out?! hehehe. Madi's a good girl, she listens to Mommy and stays in the family room while Baby is at the kitchen table. Not me, I pretend that I don't hear her and sit right next to the table.

Baby turns 1 year old this week and is becoming a good play partner. She throws me a ball, and I throw it back; and we both run after the ones that get away. I still get a little nervous when she comes at me with grabby fingers and tries to pull my fur, but she's getting better at giving hugs. She's becoming more gentle.

Hope everyone else is staying cool this summer!

My Space

Couldn't believe it! All of sudden, the Baby went from laying around in one place to crawling all over the place! Now, she makes a beeline for me! That's okay, but sometimes I like to find my own little spot and hang out by myself and take a nap. The Baby doesn't seem to understand this and comes at me with her grabby fingers. I get up and run away, but she follows me. Finally, I had to go and plead my case to Mommy & Daddy so they could help me get away.
