KISSES!!

Sorry it’s been so long since my last blog. I’ve been busy getting bigger and being a “holy terror” at home, at least that’s what mom says. My Purina puppy chow must really be working because I’m a whole 5 lbs. now--which means I’m even bigger than Bella! Yeah, it’s great. I push her around now and take HER toys. She’s developed a “sour-puss” face as a result. Mom and dad laugh at her when she does it, so I try to make her mad every chance I get. Hehe. Anyways, as of today I’m five months + four days old. I’m a big boy now and I have really long leggies. Grampi always teases me and says I’m “deformed” because I’m so tall. I asked daddy what “deformed” meant and he said it meant that “Grampi’s a turd.” That’s funny…. I love my Grampi.

Around Santa time a lot of cold white stuff showed up on the ground. I guess Santa leaves presents for everybody, even the little rabbits and trees outside. At first I got REALLY excited because I thought Santa left a lot of Frosty Paws for us…. But it just doesn’t taste like the peanut butter stuff mom gives us. Oh well. Bella doesn’t like the white stuff, and hops around on her paws like she’s upset until mommy or daddy pick her up. She’s a big baby. I LOVE the white stuff!! I like to dig my face in it and pretend it’s a mask. Sometimes it gets kinda’ cold on my nose, but that’s okay. At Grammi’s house, I get to run around in the back yard and make tracks in it. They used to get mad at me sometimes, because I’d never come inside when they called me. But I was just having so much fun. Whoops.

It’s Love day today and mommy is giving Bella and me lots of treats. This is fun. There’s some chocolate up on the counter that I’d really like to get my paws on, but Mommy won’t give it to me. After she gets in the shower, I’m going to have Bella help me get it. I haven’t quite figured out how we’re gonna’ do it yet, but I’ll keep workin’ on it. Maybe if I stack up the dog bowl….

Mom said I was stinky...

When daddy woke me up this morning, mom said I smelled kinda stinky. So daddy took me in the shower with him and got me all wet. I like bathtime because the water is warm and daddy rubs my belly with foamy stuff. Bella got a bath too, and I laughed at her because she looked like a rat. After bathtime, mommy always wraps me up like a burrito in my blankie and snuggles me like crazy! That's fun. I shiver even after I'm dry so that she'll keep snuggling me. Hehe, don't tell. The only thing about bathtime is that I get real sleepy afterwards. Daddy says it really "stresses me out," whatever that means. Anyways, I napped most of the afternoon and even helped Dad play his computer game. I woke up just in time to eat some dinner before mommy put my bowl up for the night. Mommy and daddy are ready to go to bed now, but I'm wide awake! Maybe I'll go find Bella and bite on her ears..

I'm a good baby

I spent the day at Grammi’s yesterday. Mommy drops me and Bella off on her way to work/school so that we don’t have to be alone all day. Sometimes I piddle on the carpet though (cause I’m still little) so Grammi puts me in the front hall. Mommy gave me a big hug when she came back and told me I was a good baby because I make a poopy and a pee pee on the papers she layed out by the door. Usually when I do my business in the house, they tell me “no!” Mommy seemed to be proud of me though, so maybe I’ll start going to the door when I’ve gotta go. We’ll see how I feel about it later.

My first Fall

Today was so exciting! I got to go to the Cider Mill with mom, dad, grammi, and grampi. They were gonna' leave me penned up in grammi's front room, but I put on my cute face and whined a little. Mom can't resist me. Bella stayed behind to keep uncle Charlie company. Uncle Charlie likes to play rough with me sometimes so I can't be left alone with him. I'm working on my growl to really scare him one of these days!

I got kinda' cold out by the red farmhouse, so mom had to snuggle me in her sweater. Everyone was looking at me and telling me how cute I was. I felt like a little prince. I told dad he should buy me a hotdog because I'm so lovable, but he said no. Grampi gave me a bite of his though, and I ate some of mom's potato chips when she wasn't looking. Hehe.. I'm so sneaky. I tried to get a taste of donut, but my neck wasn't long enough. (sigh) Maybe next year. On the way home, mom used a blankie to wrap me up like a burrito because I was super sleepy. Dad held me because he loves me terrible.

When we got home, I told Bella about all the fun she missed. She wondered why I didn't bring her back a donut, and I told her I didn't get one either. We've decided we're gonna' try to get one from the counter after mom and dad go to sleep. But donut or no donut-- I had a great time at the cider mill with my family, enjoying a nice fall day. :)

Good Morning :)

Hi :) I'm Oliver. I came home a little while ago with my new mommy and daddy. My name used to be "Puppy" but now I have all sorts of names like Ollie, Oliver Twist, and sometimes they even call me Monkey Man. I guess they must think I look like a monkey--whatever that is.

So now I have a new yard to play in, and a new sister. At first when I got here, I don't think she liked me very much. I kept trying to play with her and she'd look at me like I was stupid. That hurt my feelings. So I started to snuggle with her in her bed, and I think she liked that. Now I take her toys, and eat her food, and lead her around on her leash. It's Great!! I'm glad she knows who's boss.

Gotta go, Mommy just put my breakfast down on the floor! Ohh, I love to eat!!
