What's worse?

Sheesh! I don't know what's worse, having fleas even though mom puts flea medicine on me every month, or the baths with the flea shampoo where I have to stand in the sink all wet and soaped up for furever. I deserve more treats!

Squirrel Catcher Job Opening!

Mom told me one of her friends has an interview at a company that gets squirrels out of attics. I want that job! Where do I apply?!?! I would be PAWSOME at that! I'd even work for free! Why even bother interviewing humans, just employ me and a bunch of my terrier friends! Squirrel hunting pawty!

Shakespeare Fest!?!?

There's a Shakespeare Festival starting in my new city this weekend! I saw the poster a bunch of times on our walks and was wondering why my face wasn't on it.. and now I'm wondering why I haven't even been invited yet! What the woof?!? It is a festival celebrating *me*, right? Just like every day should be!

p.s. Who's Cymbeline and why is he going to be there and not me?!?
And who are these merry wives in Windsor who are going to be there later? Where's Windsor? Why are they merry? Ooo, are they on a walk? Maybe there will be dog treats!

We have flying squirrels!!!!!

OMD! My new city has flying squirrels!!!! If I could catch one of those I'd be the envy of all my doggy friends! Wait, mom, what? Flying squirrels is the name of our city's baseball team? What's baseball and how do flying squirrels fit in? Do they allow dogs to play baseball with the squirrels? Ooo, are the squirrels the balls?!?! Cause that would be pawsome fun! I could see me and Zaidie and Greta Grace and Fizzy and Buddy and Whitley just throwing and catching squirrels! BOL! Woof woof woof woof woof!

Lacey wants to know if anypup has a team with "bunnies" or "rabbits" cause she'd like to play catch with them!

Whatevfur!

We were out walking earlier and I barkbarkbarked at this man who passed near us. He told me "you're too pretty to be mean." What?!? Whatevfur dude! First off, I'm *handsome* cause I'm a boy, as my blue leash should clearly get across, and secondly, I am too mean, you heard me barkbarkbark! Sheesh! People need to learn dog around here! Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go get loving from my mom. And no, being a mama's boy doesn't make me a "pretty" dog, it makes me spoiled rotten, woof!

I need my space

My silly mom's been all sad and what not that I haven't come upstairs to sleep with her and Lacey for the last couple of nights. Sheesh mom, I need my space! I'm your same schnauzer that used to go in another room to nap, back when we had other rooms and no stairs in the house. It's like she furgot who I am! BOL (The downstairs here is just one big room so I don't have many places to escape to without having to climb the stupid stairs.) Besides, I also have five zillion beds downstairs to sleep in instead of just two upstairs (Lacey and mom take up the big human bed). I can also see and thus bark at stuff outside, I mean if the other dogs are upstairs with the humans, who's left to be security? Me, that's who. Ruuuffff!

No Cushings!

Sheesh, what a crazy week! We hung out at our grandpawrents and Addy and Samson's for the howlidays and we had a blast like we always do there. Except for when mom dropped me off at the v-e-t to be tested for Cushing's. The v-e-t said my senior bloodwork had a high liver enzyme that's related to Cushing's. So mom decided to have me tested in case I had it so it could be treated early. But my tests were negative! Arooo!!

Thank you Sophie for the big PoP!

Sleepover

Shakespeare's mom here. Shakey is having a sleepover with Samson and Adeline at his grandpawrents' house. When Lacey and I went to leave, Shakey decided he didn't want to go, he stayed snug in the doggy bed. He didn't move when I called him, dropped the leash, and even when Lacey and I sat in the car waiting to see if he wanted to stay or go. So I decided he was old enough to have a sleepover at his grandpawrents' house if he really wanted. He is ten after all. :) His grandpawrents are going to be coming over tomorrow morning anyways, so they will bring him home then. I miss my mama's boy. *sniffs* Guess I have to let him grow up sometime huh?

I hope you have a good sleepover Shakey boy, and I can't wait to see you tomorrow morning. :)

Morning urka gurkas

My tummy's been bothering me all morning. Mom says it's ok, she just cleans it up and loves on me. The first couple times she wasn't up yet, so I got to snack on it.. mom said that's really gross and wondered if other pups did that.

Mom just told me I'll probably get chicken for dinner, woof!

My Pawty Weekend - Barkday Celebrations Have Only Begun!

Hurricane Irene visited us this weekend and left so many branches and leaves scattered on the ground around my neighborhood - so much to pee on! BOL!

So on Saturday, me and Lacey and mom went out of town, and me and Lacey stayed at a new day care place. We were gonna stay at our usual weekend retreat (other than our grandpawrent's house), but they closed cause of the hurricane. Anypaw, the ladies at the new place in the other city were really really nice, and me and Lacey immediately jumped on them and sat in their laps, and they gave us lots of pets and treats. I could tell mom had been kinda worried since she hadn't visited the place before, but there were lots of other doggies in the play areas and people hanging out with the doggies. And Lacey and I make friends everywhere we go, espawcially people friends!

So while mom was hanging out with *cats* (the horror!), Lacey and I were living it up making new people and doggy pals! We had our own hurricane pawty, woof!

Mom came and picked us up on Sunday afternoon, and boy was I glad to see her! I had a fun time but I'm a mama's boy and homedoggy at heart. Of course Sunday was my barkday! We pawtied some at day care, then we got a car ride and I love car rides, but when we got home there was no power and no air conditioning.. not a way for a pup to spend his barkday! Mom said she couldn't bake me a barkday cake or barkday treats cause we didn't have power, but that she'd make something this week, and we'd spend all week celebrating. Sounds ok to me, I'm ok with being spoiled even more rotten every day!

So mom, where's the pawresents already?!?!
