Wowzers....sorry for the long break between posts....so much is happening at our house...
Mommy was gone for a whole week again on business, my human sister also moved in (and now plays with me and takes me on walks during the week), we got a new garage door, I got a long overdue grooming, and it's really starting to get cold in the mornings.
The weather has been really strange at our house. One week it seems like it's in the 80's and everyone is wearing shorts and I'm laying down on the cool tile, and then now we can't stay warm enough at night.
I've really been snuggling up next to daddy in the cold mornings, and I'm even allowing him to put a blanket during the night. In the early morning, I even crawl up on his chest if he turns over to lie on his back to get some extra warmth.
Well, it also probably has a lot to do with the fact I got a really grooming after not getting a cut in just over two months. I did have a bath during that time, but my parents and my groomer just couldn't connect...so I was carrying around some extra weight...and dirt. Daddy had to pull a few crusties of my rear in the meantime.
Anyway, one nice thing when I get my short cut is that I get a really good gourmet wet meal as a treat. So I've been eating Merricks 'Brats' the last few days in a rich and yummy gravy sauce.
Yippee!!

What an exciting Sunday I had this week.
On Friday when my Mommy got the mail, there was an invitation in there for me to attend a neighbor's birthday party on Sunday.
Snow is a 6 year old golden lab and his family was kind enough to invite a few of us neighborhood pups to the local park for fun and games and treats.
Well, the morning actually started out with daddy taking me for a walk in the fresh autumn air. It was brisk, but not too cold and it was nice and quiet first thing in the morning.
Mommy had gone to the grocery store to buy some food for the week, and she brought me home a very special cookie and a new hard plastic toy boot as well. You can never have enough chew toys!
What Mommy didn't know (and I wasn't volunteering) was that daddy had just giving me a little greenie treat just a little bit before.
Just after two o'clock our doorbell rang and it was time to go. Being the smallest pup here, I had to let everyone know I'm not a puch over. Snow was excited to see me, as was Buddy, a 2 year old lab as well. I'm right in the middle at 4 years.
After some initial and obligatory butt sniffing greetings, we all walked to the park together. It was a very nice day outside.
Once at the park, the big boys played catch with a frisbee and tennis ball. Mommy and daddy were a bit reluctant to let me off leash, but after 15 minutes or so, I was let off for the very time. I wasn't too interested in the ball or frisbee, or playing chase with the big boys, but I did get some running in with daddy...and a bit of exploring.
We all posed for pictures, and of course, being that this was the first time at this park for me, I had to mark my new found territory at every given opportunity. I think I made pleasantries with each and every tree and shrub there.
I also got my very own Milkbone, and when the big boys weren't too interested in theirs, I was able to get a hold of their too. It seems like every time mommy and daddy turned around, I discovered yet another Milkbone. My parents are worried I had too many treats and not only spoil my dinner, but maybe have a stomach ache as well later.
So finally, after 45 minutes or so we came home and I was tired. When it was finally dinner time, I didn't get too much. Daddy really cut back and I had just a small fraction of my normal dinner.
All in all it was a good day with my parents and friends, and when it was bedtime, I curled up really close and tight next to daddy to keep warm. It was the first chilly night in a long time.

Not that I envy Mommy, but she had elective surgery last week which has kept her home for the last 6 days in recovery.
So I have had constant companionship for almost a whole week! But alas, she had to return to work today, but it was fun while it lasted.
Even though she couldn't move all that much, we spent a lot of time together while daddy was away at work. And since she also had to sleep on the couch elevated, I opted to keep her compnay as well, allowing daddy the whole bed to himself for a change...and while daddy does say he misses me, he also says he's had the best week of sleep in a long time.
The one downside is that while I did have company, mommy really couldn't play all that much. Oh, sure...we cuddled a few times and I got a head and belly rub.....we really couldn't go for a walk or wrestle or play catch....I have to wait for daddy to come home to do that.
As as matter of fact, when he comes home tonight, I'm sure we'll go for a nice walk again.
Yippee!
