My Pal Rudy

My cousin Rudolph (Rudy) came over today. I like him, but I don't really show it. I'm kind of a girly girl pup...or as mom and dad call me, a Princess! And Rudy is full of energy and bouncy like a kangaroo. I prefer to sit back and watch him. I let him play with my toys and rest in my crate. I'm getting better with him, though. Rudy was rescued by my human sister Chrystie and her boyfriend, Chuck just before Christmas. He was found on the street and was only four pounds. He is getting some meat on his little bones now. He really is a lovable little guy and we are all glad that he found a warm, loving home. Some day I will stop being a little chicken and will play with him...maybe! Until then...

It's been a long time...

Wow...it has been a long time since I wrote a diary entry. Well, it has been a *ruff* year. In January, my most favorite uncle, well, actually great- uncle in the whole wide world died unexpectedly. I kept wanting to go and see him, but mommy and daddy said that he wasn't here anymore and that he was in heaven with God. But I still wanted to see him. I went to his house and looked in all of the rooms and still no Uncle John. So I curled up on a chair outside of his bedroom and snuggled up with his sweater. Mommy cried and daddy wanted to cry, too. I still miss him. Then, daddy's father died. And then we moved to a new house. I love it here. It took some time to get used to, but I really like it now. Okay, time to go. I hear daddy putting something in the microwave. Maybe something for me...?

Shopping

Well, Mom and Dad went shopping today and came home with a little something for me. I was sure hoping that it would be something to eat, but it wasn't. It was something to wear! I guess they are getting ready for Christmas and pictures again and they bought me a Mrs. Claus dress complete with the little hat. I don't mind the dress so much, but I can't move when they put the hat on me. For some reason, I just freeze. Then, my buddy Chrystie came over and Mom put the dress on me so Chrystie could see how cute I looked. Well, she took the hat off of me and then when no one was looking, I sneaked under the bed to hide from everyone. I could be a little stinker when I want to be...hehehe. Okay, time to go back to my nap.

Close Encounters of the Worse Kind

Last night, mom brought me outside before it was time to go to bed like she does every night. I planned on doing my usual routine... run out the door, do a perimeter check of the yard and then take care of business. Well, last night was a little different. I was barking at something and that something is usually a cat roaming aound my space but last night it wasn't a cat...it was a SKUNK! Mom saw something black near the lilac bushes and then she saw this big white tail and she almost had a heart attack. I am barking at this cat/skunk and mom is screaming in a loud whisper for me to come to her and to stop barking, neither of which I did. I had to protect mom! She was praying that I didn't get sprayed. Well, luckily, the skunk went on his way without spraying me. Mom was so happy and so was I!

Thats all for now...

Yuck....

This morning, about 5:00, dad took me out in the yard to take care of business. Well, it rained last night and there were earthworms on the patio blocks. My inquisitive little nose brought me right over to a worm. When I sniffed the worm, it started wiggling and squiggling all over the place and freaked me out! Dad was hysterical. He said my little puppy paws were just swinging in the air and I hopped back about two feet. I was thoroughly grossed out, but he got such a kick out of it, he left a note on the kitchen table so he could tell mom what happened and they could laugh at me some more. On another subject, I hate loud noises...such as fireworks and what did we have last night, but fireworks. I was right under the bed with the first boom and now, I hear mom talking about more fireworks tonight...and they are going to be 1/2 hour long!!! I guess I'll be back under the bed tonight! *Sigh* Alright, I am going to look out of my favorite window and just chill out for a while.

Photo Session

Today mom and dad took my Easter pictures. I love to have my picture taken and mom and dad say that I am the best model ever. I was surrounded by bunnies and chickies and eggs! My most favorite pictures were the ones where I got to sit in a basket. I loved it! I got some really yummy treats, too. I posed like a good little doggie and when I got a little sleepy, I put my head down on the basket and went to sleep with the bunny. Ahhh...a models life is a tough life!

Thunder...in March?

Hey...it's only March 13th. It's not suppose to thunder in March! I hate thunder. Mom brought me outside to take care of my business and I was sqatting and ready to go and BAM...thunder. So, I ran to the back door. Mom picked me up and assured me that it would be alright and put me back in the grass. I get back into position and what happened again...you're right...thunder! So, I run to the back door again and again mom tells me that it will be okay and puts me back in the grass. Now, she is praying that it won't thunder for at least two minutes so I can do my thing. Well, it started to rain, had a flash of lightening (but that didn't bother me), but...no thunder, so I got to take care of ALL of my business. Then I ran to the back door again, ran into the house and right under mom and dad's bed.

I'm feeling better...

Well, that shot that Dr. White gave me yesterday sure helped. I didn't cough at all last night! I didn't do much today. I slept most of the day which is nothing unusual. Oh, but here is something cute that I do and it melts mommy's heart. I wait on the couch for her to come home from work. Next to the couch in an end table with a snowman village on it. There is also a soft snowman on it. When mom comes in the living room, I ever so carefully tiptoe onto the end table, over the fluffy, cotton stuff and pick up the soft snowman and bring it to mommy. She thinks that I am adorable because I give her a present. And sometimes in return, she gives me her glove. Awww....

Cough, cough...I have a cold

Cough...cough...cough... That is what I did all night last night. I had mom up most of the night. Dad brought me to Dr. White today and he said that I have a cold and had a temperature of 102.8! I got a shot and have to take amoxicillin pills twice a day for two weeks. I think that I will feel as good a new by the time Christmas Eve rolls around. I have to feel good. We will have a house full of silly relatives and I want to join in on the fun!! Okay, I am going to snuggle under the warm blankets again. Bye for now...

Oh no...it's snow!

So, last night I went out in the yard to take care of business before I went to bed and what do I see...snow!! Now, don't get me wrong, I like the snow, but my little feet get mighty cold! And to top it off, I couldn't even find my favorite place to go...you know...poop. Mom was laughing at me because I was running around like a kook with my nose on the ground and she said that I looked like a little snow plow. Hmmm...I don't like the way that sounds. Anyway, I finally did my thing and then we went in the house and mom used my princess towel to get all of the snow off of my feet. Well, I guess it is time to get used to the snow again... I think that I like summer better.
