Today's firsts..

Today I had my first yak stick, mmmm. That sucker is hard to chew! I needed a few breaks, and of course during those my bratty sister started "guarding" it. She doesn't even like it! So mom put it away for now.

Today I also had my first rolling around in the grass my "yard." That felt nice!!!

And then I had the first tick of the year twisted off of me. Sheesh. Stupid buggers. Mom doesn't want to put icky bug medicine on me and Lacey yet, she says she's going to wait until the first of the month cause that's our normal date.

What a day today has been!

I had a Bad Hair Day

Oh no, BOL! I made it onto Guimauve's mom's Bad Dog Hair Day blog!

Trapped in the car (oh, and the rest of the weekend was fun)

Not literally trapped in the car, don't worry. BOL I wouldn't have access to mom's computer in the car, BOL. I was actually trapped in the back seat and couldn’t get up front with mom! Lacey too, but she usually stays back there anyway. I like to jump up in the front seat next to mom and sometimes put my paws on her seat so she'll pet me. I don't know why she'd want to put a stop to that! But she did. When we went to our grandpawrents and Addy's house yesterday, mom put us in the backseat, and now there's this blanket like barrier that keeps me from jumping in the front. I tried to figure out a way to get up front, but mom saw me out of the corner of her eye and told me to stay. Sheesh. And she calls me a brat.

This new blanket thing is nice and soft though. It made a good nap spot on the way home last night. Even though I tried to figure out how to get on the floor behind mom's seat since that's where I usually nap in the car. I couldn't even get there.


We had a good weekend though! On Saturday we went to the dog park and got lots of sniffs and walks. And of course yesterday we got to run around our grandpawrents’ backyard! Aroo roo woof! Addy kept chasing me and butt-butting me. I would be enjoying a nice roll in the grass and here comes Addy, jumpin on me. (No thanks to mom, who was like “go get him Addy!” Sheesh, thanks mom.)

Me, mom, and Lacey miss Cupcake, but she’s still in the house, in our hearts.

It's not my birthday

Although I wish it was my birthday every day! BOL It's the other mini schnauzer Shakespeare's birthday! I know, I got confused for a second too. I'll still have to make mom give me extra treats, BOL.

Thank you Zaidie and Rocke and Raoudi and your family for the "un"birthday gifts!

Valentine's Tag

Here are 5 things I love about my life...

1. I love my mom! I'm a proud mama's boy!

2. I love treats and people food crumbs and those special occasions when I get canned food (like trips to grandma's house!)

3. I love going to grandma and grandpa's house, BOL! I love it cause I get to see them and my uncle and Cupcake and Adeline and play in the yard and sometimes we even go walk on the beach.

4. I love walks so, so much.

5. I love being a goofball and making my mom smile and then rub my belly. Sucker! BOL

Oh yah, and I can't forget how much I love Dogster and all my pawsome furiends!

♥ Happy Valentine's Day! ♥

Another yellow monster

These last couple days on our walk I've seen and heard another big yellow monster, an impossibly big yellow something (mom says I have to apologize to Douglas Adams, whoever that is). I can't see it too well cause it's behind some trees, but it is loud! It has a big claw thingy on it that seems to be taking trees down.. what am I supposed to pee on then?!? I try to drag mom in the direction opposite this yellow monster, but she and Lacey just keep moving forward. Like today I was putting all my weight into going the other direction, back towards home, and mom kept telling me it was ok (IT's NOT!) and chuckling at me (NOT FUNNY MOM!). That big yellow monster has a claw! And it's tearing down trees! It is not safe to be near!

Mom's baking dog treats!!!

OMD!! Mom's baking doggy treats! She even let me lick the peanut butter that'd spilled on the side of the jar, yum! I saw her put that and honey in the mix, ohh I am so excited these are gonna be yummmmy!

Mom bought a Three Dog Bakery cookbook so she's testing it out. I hope she tests every recipe!

Ooo, I gotta go lick the peanut butter spoon!

Howliday Tag

I was tagged by my new pal Zoe! Thanks Zoe, you’ll love Santa Paws!

1) What do you like to get in your Christmas stocking?
Treats of any and all shapes and sizes and flavors! Ooo, and bully sticks and chewies. Toys are ok too, even though mom says we don't need any. Sheesh.

2) Have you seen Santa Paws this year?
Yep! Lacey and I saw him a month ago and we got our picture taken and it's on our Dogster pages.

3) Do you like snow, have you ever been in it?
I've been in snow and it is not fun! It sucks when it's just coming down like rain, or sometimes when there's a little bit on the sidewalks. When I was a younger pup we had snow that was almost as high as I was and that really sucked! Oh, but the worst is when it snows, mom wants to put a sweater or jacket on me, sheesh!!!

4) What do you want fur Christmas?
The treats and chewies that are too big to fit in my stocking, BOL!

5) Have you ever posed in a picture with Santa Paws?
Yep, every year since I was a pup! Well except for one year when mom wanted nice pawfessional pics of me and Sydney.

Foster sis

So my foster sis is here and she is CRAZY. She's either a puppy or really young and is like energetic times 10 zillion. She is playing with all my toys. I am not happy and I have been pouting to mom about it.

Ok, she is kinda fun to play with. And that's all she wants to do!

More scary trucks

Me, Lacey, and mom were just out walking and we saw some big bright headlights and big swirly flashy lights at the other end of the apt complex. The air smelled funny too. We walked closer and the lights got brighter, they were attached to a few monster truck thingies that were the size of the yellow bus monster. I wouldn't let them mom and Lacey get too close cause those things scared me. Mom said fire trucks were ok to be scared of, she's scared of them too. Mom said that's probably why Lacey was howling earlier, she howls at sirens. We never did find out why the fire trucks were there and people were standing around, but the buildings are standing and it's not really near our place, so we think everything's ok. I never want to see those trucks again!
