Still training Winston

Wittle bwudders can be so embawassing! Da udder day was a pawfect example.

Furst, Mummy's furiend stopped by. Tidbit and I were sitting politely and Mummy was carrying Winston. Eben in Mummy's arms, Winsty was bad! He kept barking and twying to attack Mummy's furiend! Mummy's furiend was scared! Hrrrmmmph! Well, as soon as Mummy put Winston down, I nipped at him to tell him what's what! Nip! We don not bark wike a cwazy dog when people come ober! Nip! We do not twy to attack Mummy's furiends! Nip! Nip!

Now, you fink Winston would hab learned, but NO! Wight after, da air conditioner repairman came ober. Can you guess what happened? Yup. Winston was in Mummy's arms again, and Winsty went off again! Da repairman twied to pet Winsty to calm him down, and Winsty barked wike cwazy! After da repairman went to work on the air conditioner, Mummy and I had a wittle talk wif Winston. We fink Winsty only listened 'cuz Mummy was feeding us fweeze dwied liver during da speech. BOL! I fink it worked, though, because the next two times Winston saw da repairman, he was quiet in Mummy's arms! Mummy was so pwoud of Winsty, and she told me I was a good big bwudder and twainer! :)

Pawcourse, I'm sure I'll hab to twain him again da next time someone comes over. Hrrmmmph!

Scorpions! Yikes!

As pawmised, here's a new diary entry!

Daddy discovered 3 scorpions in da bathtub da udder day! Not 1 or 2, but 3!!! Yikes! Pawcourse, Mummy was fweaking out!

Daddy finks dat da scorpions got in through da attic vents and den got into the air ducts. Daddy called da exterminator out today, so we pups had to hang out in da guest room wif Mummy while Daddy hunted scorpions wif da exterminator.

Tidbit just went to sleep on da bed while I played wif Mummy. She gave me a new plushy bunny dat talks, so I was pwitty happy. Winston, on da udder hand, was a pain in da posterior! He kept whining and scwatching at da door! Hrrrmmph! Mummy would stop playing wif me and pick up Winsty and twy to calm him down, but den he would just run to da door again and start whining and scwatching again! Geez! Wittle bwudders!

Da good news is dat da exterminator didn't find any more scorpions, but he spwayed and set up twaps in da attic just in case! We're now on a maintenance plan, too! We used to be on a exterminator plan before, but Daddy didn't wike da last company and let da plan lapse. Rut roh! Mummy sez dat will neber happen again! BOL!

Hiya, pals!

I haven't been feeling well fur da last couple of days. Mummy was weally wowwied 'cuz she bought me a new skineez plush wif 19 squeakers (Wow, 19 squeakers!) and I only played wif it a wittle bit.

Today, Mummy noticed gooey gunk in my eyes, and my left eye wooked a wittle cloudy, so Mummy called da vet and demanded dat I be seen at once! So, woosh I went to da dogtor! Da dogtor sed I had a weally small ulcer in my left eye, but had bery wittle tear pwoduction in my wight eye. I need to start using Winston's Optimmune ointment in my wight eye and got antibiotic dwops fur my left eye. I gotta check up on Tuesday, but da dogtor sed da ulcer should be gone by den. Whew! Good fing Mummy got me wooked at early!

Kipper the Dog Whisperer

Remember how I twained my bwudder Winston to sit for his leash before walkies? Well, I'm still workin' on da wittle runt! Winsty is still habin' socialization pwoblems. When we go on walkies, Winsty barks and twies to attack eberyone, so I hab to nip at him and nudge him wif my head to stop! Mummy had kids ober to practice for Latin competition, and Winsty would not stop barkin' at all da kids, so I had to jump on him to make him stop! I also nudge Winsty wheneber he and Crumpet get into one of dem barkin' matches ober sittin' on da couch! hee hee!

We had to stay wif our nice gwoomer fur two days when Mummy went out of town to get a teaching award, and da gwoomer had two udder dogs der, too. One dog was named Bucky, and he was a part Australian shepherd and was a BIG dog! Da gwoomer told Mummy dat Bucky was being all noisy and barky, so I had to set him stwaight, too! I nipped at him and tussled wif him until he stopped being barky! Just call me Kipper da Dog Whisperer ;)
