Steelers!

zYay, today is game day! I love game day. I get to wear my bandana and play with my very own Terrible Towel! I have fun. There's always lots of good food to eat, too. I am excited! Go Steelers!

I gotta get ready for game day. Maybe for Christmas I can get my very own jersey! I would really really like one. Especially one with my name and number on it. That would be really cool. Mama says to keep telling Papa that's what I want for Christmas. I will do that!

I have to go now. Yay! Game day is fun! Time to get ready!

Bye for now!

Vacation!

I went on vacation last weekend! I got to go with Mama and Papa on vacation. It was fun! It was my second vacation with them. The first time we went to this fun place and we slept kind of outside, but in this zip up thing that sheltered us. Mama said it's called a tent. It was fun. This last weekend, we got to stay inside! Mama and Papa said it was called a hotel. They said it was a good place because they allowed me to stay with them in their room! I liked it very much! They said a lot of "hotels" don't allow puppy dogs to stay there. I don't like those hotels.
It was nice to go with them when they left town. Usually I have to stay at this place with other doggies. It's fun, but not so much cause they aren't there with me. This other place was super fun though! I got to run around outside and go for walks in a new place. Mama and Papa said it was called Indianapolis. Whatever that means. All I know is that it meant a really long car ride! That's ok, though. I like to ride in the car.

OK I'm going to go to bed now. Good night for now!!

Mommy and Daddy say that I'm going to get some more gifts, too, but I have to be patient and wait for them. I trying so hard to be good, but I'm so excited!
OK time to go tell the kitty it's my birthday. BYE FOR NOW!

YAY Steelers!

We went to my friend Ben's house yesterday to watch the Browns Steelers game. I had so much fun!! So many people to play with and I got to play with my friend Ben!! He keeps telling me that his name is Cleveland, but I don't like that name. HEHE I call him Ben instead! Mommy and Daddy tell me that he is a chocolate lab, whatever that means. He's my puppy dog friend!
What made yesterday even better was that Mom's and Dad's and my favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, won! YAY POOP ON BROWNS hehehehehe so much fun! I hurt my paw real bad though. I'm not sure what I did to it, but it hurts. =( and I'm still limping a little bit today, it hurts to walk on it, but it's getting better! I'm glad I don't have to go to the doctor for it! I don't like the doctor's office.
OK I'm done for now, I have a new bone to chew on! YAY Steelers OK bye for now.

I'm so smart!

They told me that if I learned how to open the closet door, I could have my bone they put in there. They were trying to keep it away from my friend Susie who came to play... well, Mommy showed me how to paw at the handle to turn it, so I kept doing that, and it opened! Yay! Then I used my snout to open it the whole way so I could get inside and get my bone! YAY I have my bone now! Susie can't have it either.
I'm smart!
Ok I'm off to bed, I've had a fun exciting day and I'm tired now. BYE!

I am 2 today! yay! Mommy took me for a ride to THE BIG YARD so i could run lots today. it was so much fun! i saw lots of fun stuff. then she took me to the store!! I love the store. People there always pay attention to me and pet me and i always seem to get lots of treats and toys there. it's so much fun!! YAY for birthday treats and toys. I've heard Mommy call the place petsmart before. maybe that's what the store is called. i don't know.

mommy just told me that my friend susie and my aunt megan are coming over later for more birthday fun!! this birthday is the best!!!! well i'm off to chew up my pig's ear now. those are so yummy, but mommy says i have to chew it up before my daddy gets home cause he thinks they're gross and stinky. i don't know why, cause they are delicious! yum! OK bye for now.

Haircut!

So I got a haircut today! Yay it's nice to have all that extra annoying stuff out from my toes. ... but it seems really cold when i go outside!! i lost my super warm winter coat. =( i hope it doesn't get really cold again. but mommy and daddy seem to really like giving me extra lovins so i'm not gonna complain. although i don't really like going there, but they give me lots of pets and lovins too so i think they're ok.

I got to play with miss susie last night! she was so much fun and then we slept and snuggled together. she tried to get the kitty to play too but mr spaz never wants to play with us. we had fun, yay

ok i'm off to get the kitty now. i'm pretty tired today so i think i'm going to go take another nap. bye for now!!

I went to the doctor today.

I haven't written here in a long time! I sorry. =(
Mommy took me to this place called the "vet" - i remember being there before, and I'm not sure I like it so much! The doctor was kinda rude - he poked at me and put things in my private areas! but he did give me lots of pets and loving, so I decided he was nice and I gave him kissies. He said I was a 100% completely healthy doggie! YAY! I also got some shots. I didn't like those, but I behaved cause I knew my Mommy would be very mad at me if I didn't, and then she would tell my Daddy and he would be mad at me too. I don't like it when they're mad at me. I also got this shot that hurt - it had a really long needle! They said it was called a "microchip" so that I could be found if I ever got lost. I don't want to get lost, they make it seem so scary. I hope I can always find my way home!

Well, those shots and poking and proding today made me very sleepy. I'm off to go back to bed now. Mommy says she wants me to snuggle with her while she watches this thing called "American Idol". That's ok, I'll snuggle with her, and maybe when she's done with that she can let me see that foxy English Springer Spaniel that was on TV last night. His name is James and he is cute! I wish he was my boyfriend. Mommy says he won this thing called "Best in Show" last night but I'm not sure what that means... but it sounds good, so YAY for James!
OK off to sleep and snuggle. I'll start writing more, I promise. BYE!

All better!

I was not feeling well for a few days this month. Mommy & Daddy took me to the doctor, and he poked and prodded me and then gave me all kinds of loopy feeling drugs... Mommy and Daddy told me a thing called "getting spayed" happened to me, but I really am not sure what that is. Maybe I'll figure it out someday. Ooooh! Kitty! I gotta go chase Spaz now. BYE!

Potty Training

is fun! I like to ring the bell when I go outside. I rang it tonight cause I had to go pee-pee and poopy! Yay! and I get treats for going potty outside. I think I'm gonna go investigate Mommy & Daddy's jackets now, cause they seemt o be pulling the treatsies out of the pockets. Ok I'm off to investigate. BYE for now!
