Snow.....it's a love/hate relationship! What a poopy day.

So mommy has told me all about snow. I have waited and waited and now we have ten inches of this doggone stuff! So I loved it at first, mommy kept taking me out so she could take some pictures (she is such a wacko with that camera). I jumped and played and sniffed and licked and mommy warned me of yellow snow. So it was great. We went to sleep and woke up and the snow was almost as high as I am. I couldn't sniff out a place to poo poo and I was really confused. I really wanted to play in this myserious wet, cold, white stuff but I needed to go poo poo too. So I just decided I'd skip the poo pooing and just play around in the snow.

Next morning I wake up and I gotta go BAD....I get outside and darn it if that snow is still there. But I can't hold it. I really gotta go. So I find a corner and squat. Funny how my poo poo just sunk and disapeared in that pretty white snow. But mommy noticed droplets of blood as I walked back in. So she wiped me and I was really bleeding. She went to tell daddy and I went back to the door cause I had to go again. Well she didn't make it in time (she was still putting on her boots) and I had to poo poo right in front of the door. But it wasn't just poo poo, there was alot of blood. Mommy freaked out and got daddy. Daddy went out and shoveled me a place to call my own so I could poo poo with no snow. And what did I do? I started throwing up. Mommy and daddy were so worried, they took me to the vet and by that time (3 hours later when they opened) I was playing, snoozing and having a dandy time. But the vet said I was ok. Must have been stress. Mommy says the snow must have stressed me out. But I really did like it. So now I have to take medicine three times a day. And the dr said I am too big for the yummy pink stuff so I have to eat the crummy pills.

What a day. I should be outside playing in the snow with daddy and instead I got this yucky throw up looking food and yucky medicine that mommy has to force down my throat. This has not been a good day. At least mommy and daddy stayed home with me. I liked that. But I went through all this and my mommy and daddy haven't even given me treats. They keep saying that mean old vet said I couldn't have any.

Every time I visit that mean old vet, it seems I have a bad day. I'll just have to try and stay away. Now how do I make sure mommy and daddy don't t take me there again? I mean seriously, why do they need to stick cold instruments in my poo poo place? Don't they know that is rude?

My Very First Thanksgiving!!!

Oh boy! Today was so much fun!! I wondered what was up when mom and dad got up and started cooking early in the morning. The house smelled so yummy all day, I just couldn't stop licking my lips. Mom doesn't usually give me food when she cooks, but today, everything she made, she gave me a taste of. Then when mommy and daddy sat down to eat, my mommy did the most amazing thing! She got back up, got me my own grown up plate and filled it with with everything that was on mommy and daddy's plates too! At one point I fell asleep in the marshmallows and my ear got all gooey. Mommy has washed my ear 3 times now and it still looks like I have styling gel in my hair (that's what mom said, but who the heck knows what that is?) So here is the lowdown in case your mommy and daddy didn't give you any turkey day food. I really love the mashed potatos but without turkey gravy. The cranberry sauce, I can do without. The yams and marshmallows, well you see where they ended up? In my ear. The turkey was amazing!! Mommy said I couldn't have any of the green bean casserole because of the onions, but that's ok, she gave me a green bean when she was making it and it was not that great. Stuffing is good. And did I mention the turkey was delicious? I skipped my roll because I was too busy chowing down on the yummy turkey and potatos. Now I am sooooo tired because of all the tryptaphan (is that what the turkey chemical is called?) I have been sleeping on and off ever since dinner. But it was totally worth it. Me and mom went on a walk to "work off the calories" right after dinner. But I think all we did was work up our appetites again :) I hope you all got to chow down on some yummy turkey today! Time for night night. And maybe some night night turkey before I turn in.

Your doggy pal,
Cody

Once again, my mommy proves to be the best!

I hated my doggy food. It was so bad, I decided I would have to tell mommy I couldn't stand it anymore. So I stopped eating it. I would sniff it when mommy put it down for me, then I would just walk away. It took her a couple weeks to figure it out but finally she gave in. Now I am the luckiest dog in the world. Now my mommy gives me peas, carrot shreds, boiled eggs, brocoli slaw, grilled chicken breast, cheese and little bits of bacon. It is so yummy!!! Now I can't wait to eat. I even think I have gotten a little belly. I just wanted to let you guys know that if you are tired of eating your yucky cold, brown mush, then tell your mommy you want some special food like me. You will never regret it! 2 paws up for my mommy!

Out of the blue!

Out of the blue my daddy took me to the vet. Daddy has never taken me before so I didn't know what to expect. Not only does he tell the dr. to cut my nails but he also tells them that my ears have been bugging me. Do you know what he let those mean doctors do to me? He let them muzzle me and pluck the hair out of my ears one by one. It really hurt. Nothing like this has ever happened when my mommy takes me. But daddy did buy me a huge bully stick to munch on afterwards. So I guess I won't be mad at him. I just can't believe he would let them do that to me. Mommy says it is for my own good. But I don't see how any pain can be good. But I may as well believe her, she is always right. Gotta go, mommy says I can have some ice cream before bed. Can't miss out on that!

My mommy hasn't forgotton me!

I know my mommy hasn't let me on the computer in a while but it isn't cause she forgot about me, it's been because a whole lot has happened and we have been very busy! I have had a whole lot more shots now, and even went to the dr. for surgery (mommy called it neutering, but all I know is I was sick for days). I got sick and had to take lots of yummy pink medicine. Boy that stuff was the best! Twice a day, but I'm not sure why mommy stopped giving it to me. Then I got better, then I got sick again. Mommy says I just have a sensitive stomach, so the dr. put me on this YUCKY food that looked and tasted like mushed up boogers. Not to mention, mommy wouldn't give me any treats at all while I was sick. I think that made me sicker :) I sure do love my treats!

I have growed up alot lately. I can even go all night without barking to go out. If I had known I would get to sleep with mommy and daddy if I didn't go potty, I would have stopped months ago! It is so much fun to sleep with them. My favorite part is when I wake up in the middle of the night and I can't go back to sleep so I lay there and lick Daddy's head. He has a bic cut so it feels soooo good on my tongue. Though I get all wet and slobbery. But it is the best cuddling with mommy and daddy.

Mommy has been sick too, so I have gotten to be a big help to mommy. She says I am the biggest helper and she loves it when I lay with her when she doesn't feel good. She thinks I do it for her, but really I just l0ve to lay in bed with my mommy. We snuggle and get all warm, she doesn't even complain when I sit my butt on her neck. She just says she hopes I am comfortable. Isn't she the best?

Now that I am growed up, mommy and daddy take me on walks. We go all around the neighborhood and see lots of other doggies too. They always bark at me. I don't bark back, I honestly don't understand what all the noise is about. My favorite is when I walk with mommy and daddy to get the mail. There are a whole bunch of pine trees there so everytime we get there, I pick out the best pine cone and carry it in my mouth till we get home. Mommy always throws it away once I get in the house. I wish she wouldn't do that, I would really like to find out how they taste.

Well mommy says it is dinner time now so I gotta go. Just cause my mommy doesn't let me use the computer much doesn't mean she doesn't love me. She is just busy covering me with kisses.

P.S. I say alot of nice things about mommy but I couldn't be happy without my daddy around. He plays so much with me that I can barely catch my breath when we stop! We wrestle and play fetch, we play keep away and he even tries to steal my treats and eat them. He isn't very good at that though, cause I am always the one who gets to end up eating them. He is the best daddy ever!!

Shots! Oh How I Hate em!

No one ever warned me that being a pup was going to be so darn tough! I have suffered through endless pokes and jabs and my mommy says it is so I won't get sick. Doesn't she realize these pokes that that mean doctor gives me are making me sick? But even through the pain, I like how Mommy treats me when I get shots. She is extra extra nice and I usually get extra treats.

Mommy says I am almost done with my shots but she said in 2 weeks I am going to be "neutered." I don't know what that is but if I have to see the doctor for it, it can't be good. Daddy is always teasing me about it, so maybe it will be fun. All I know is there better be treats involved.

It's way past my bedtime and mommy says I need to get some sleep. I slept all day since I couldn't move. I was so stiff from those darn shots! Daddy came home and played with me and now I feel better, I am not so stiff now that I played for a while. Daddy's great! He is always playing with me and letting me do things mommy won't let me, but he needs to catch on to those treats. I'm tellin you, the way to my heart is through my mouth!
