Camping

Our trip to the rustic cabin was quite an experience. I got to see and smell so many new things, I don't even know what they all are!! Mom said she was jealous of my fur coat because our cabin was on the chilly side when we first arrived.

Luckily, I got to sleep with Mom and Dad for a while. But Mom was afraid I'd get up in the middle of night and snoop around and end up eating something I shouldn't. I don't where she gets this idea from ;)

So then when it was crate time, to my surprise - my little bed was inside! My crate usually just has a couple of solid rubber toys in it because I tend to eat things I shouldn't - like blankets :)

All-in-all, it was pawsome time!

New Adventures

Mom tells me that we are going to a Leaf Festival and staying overnight in a cabin tomorrow night! I sure hope it's fun. I always enjoy a good car ride (it's about 2 hours away), I'm not too sure about this cabin thing, but Mom and I are trying to have an open mind :) Mostly, hoping for not too much rain.

Wish me luck everyone! Mom says we have to pack my sweaters because who knows how warm a cabin will be...I'll let everyone know how it turns out!

Squeakers

Mom and Dad brought me home goodies from Wal Mart on Tuesday! I love the sound of the Wal Mart bags.

They bought me my first harness. It's pink and has a backpack on it. This means I can carry my own potty bags when we go one walks - Mom's excited about that fact :)

Best of all, they brought home Squeakers! He's made of rubber, he's on the small side and looks like something I've never seen before. Although he does have eyes and what a looks like a mouth. I take him every where, even to the Vet's yesterday. Mom only lets me play with him when someone's around to watch me though. I'm planning on sneaking him into my crate one night so he can sleep with me, shhh...don't tell Mom! I even talk to Squeakers when I play with him, he squeaks, I whine - it sounds the same :)

Woof for Sueakers!

Bath Time

Well, it happened. Mom gave me a bath last night. She says now that I smell so good and that I should be happy to be all clean and pretty! That sounds like crazy talk to me. After all, I'm always pretty and I live indoors, so how smelly could I ever really be?

First off, the bath tub is not a fun place. I keep trying to jump out, but she makes me stay. Then this hose type thing spits water out onto me - getting even my toes wet - I hate to have wet paws. Then theres this soapy shampoo stuff (the smelly stuff) that goes every where! A girl can have no secrets :) Then the water spitting things goes back to work.

Then just when the water spitter dies and I think we're done, it's time to be dried! Dad says that wet dogs smell bad, so Mom has to take me out on to the deck with a bunch of towels where we air dry/fight. After all, Mom gets pretty wet during my bathes too, what's fair is fair!

All in all, it's rather tiring. When will Mom learn, a trip to the groomers every six weeks is more than enough grooming :) No matter what company is coming over to the house.

Camera

Mom's begun following me around with that camera of hers! She says she will get some new photos of me no matter how long it takes :) Well, little does she know it's going to take a long time....I"m not much of a doggie for staying still long enough for that non-sense.

When will she learn?

Company's Coming

Mom told me yesterday that I have to get a bath on Thursday night because we have company coming over to spend the night. What does that have to do with me? It's not like a some stinky fuzz head. After all, I was at the groomers just two weeks ago!

Mom's.....Ugggghhhh. She knows I hate bath time. The worst of it after the bath while she's trying to towel dry me, she's also brushing me! It's just too much for any doggie to handle :)

She claims its for my own good to prevent matting, however I disagree. So then we agrue. By agrue I mean, I try to get away from her, bite the towels and run around and she trys to catch me.

Wish her luck everyone - she'll need it!

Weekends are Woof-Wonderful

I'm told by Mom that's finally Friday! This means hours of playtime as the weekend is coming, plus we stay up late and sometimes Mom and I eat popcorn together :) What fun!!

Plus the weather is no longer hot-hot and humid, so we can start going back on our daily walks.

If only every day could be the weekend...But as Mom explains, if I want more toys (which I always do) than her and Dad have to work during the week. That makes sense to me!

WOOOFFFF

Mom got the email this morning that said our little journal is one of the featured ones! How cool is that? I hope all you doggies out there reading this have a super day :)

Evening Walks

Mom's been very good about taking me on my evening walk at 8 o'clock lately. Well yesterday we went for our walk and I decided we had gone far enough and that it was time to turn around and head home. So I sat down. That was at 8:10.

Instead of turning around Mom picks me up and keeps walking away from home .... the nerve! I would have none of it. I just kept squirming in her arms until she got the point.

Needless to say we were back home by 8:15. Mom's can be so tough to train :) I'll keep trying though!

My Page

Dad saw my web page here for the first time over the weekend. He says we need better pictures if we want to get a better paw rating. So now Mom says we need to spend the time and get cuter photos!

I do not like getting my photo taken...I blame dad for this :) It looks like Mom's going to be following me around with that camera of hers this week.
