barking behide closed doors

Mom got me some new little raw hide chewies. she found out that I will take the red chewies, but I won't chew them(they taste wierd), I hide them. she says I'm pretty picky.
we had some human company today. I met these people once last fall, I remember them. one of them has a pet rabbit at home, she smelled interesting, and petted me whenever I was close. I like these humans. when they left the house, I started barking as soon as the door shut. I do this with the pizza guy too. Mom doesn't understand.

when's supper

I got to go for 2 car rides with Dad today. Dad got a stuffed bunny for me. I took care of that in record time. bunny stuffing all through the house. tee hee. Mom asked (she wasn't mad) me why the were bunny guts all over, I just put my ears back, duh, I'm a bunny killer.

Dad has been making a lot of noise in the kitchen on weekends. he is building cupboards from solid wood. Mom won't cook when he's building, even when I tell her it is supper time. I wish he'd get the dang things done. I love the smell of Mom's cooking.

Hoppy Easter

we had a grreat supper tonight. Dad cooked salmon, and let me have the skin outside when it was done. so yummy.

Mom fixed the stuffed bunny that I eviserated the other day, and a stuffed toy from Xmas. I was just trying to find the squeaker, turns out not all toys squeak.

comfortable bed

I got to play with Pippin today. I had an eye infection, so Mom wouuldn't let me be with other dogs. I'm all better and much happier.

Mom laughs at me. when she makes the bed, I stand near and watch in anticipation. as soon as she finishes making the bed I jump on it and lay down. Mom sometimes has to lay down at this point too, then we cuddle. she told me every other dog she has known has to turn around 3 times before they can rest. not me though, even my own bed, which is made out of old quilts, has to be folded just so by Mom before I'll use it.

bull

I got my first bully stick today bol. at least that's what the yankees call them. I've been chewing for hours. I wouldn't even put it down to greet Dad when he got home. for some reason Mom is smirking because I'm enjoying this so much.

it was such a nice day today. I had to spend most of my time outside in the shade. black is beautiful, but it can be hot. Pippin came over, we played and played. Mom took me for a walk downtown. life is pretty good.

happy puppy

I'm a happy puppy. the weather is fine, so I prefer to spend most of my time outside. my neighbour came over to play. later I had a nap with Mom. Mom gave me a big jerkied rib to chew on. we went for a walk, and I didn't pull. Mom kept telling me how good I am at walking nice. Mom even let me greet Dad outside, without a leash, and I didn't run away.

6:00 a.m. wakeup

Mom is wondering if she shoud have given me that jerkied rib. at 6:00 a.m. I upchugged on my bed. I went to the other corner of the bedroom, I didn't want to eat like Mom expected. Dad just left for work in time to miss the mess. Mom got everytime tidied up quickly and let me outside. of course once outside I went striaght back to this rib, I got every lick of meat off yesterday. maybe there is something in the colouring that doesn't agree with me. I won't chew the red rawhides. maybe Iris knows something Mom doesn't.

lawnmower

where is Pippin? I've been waiting for her to come over and play for days. I've howled to tell her I miss her. Dad opened the gate between our yards while he mowed the lawn. I inspected Pippin's yard and took refreshment from the pond, but couldn't find my playmate. so I helped Dad with the lawn, by herding the lawnmower. Mom tried to coax me onto the house, but I was happy doing my self appointed job. I wish the lawnmower had four legs, and was quieter.

dogster rules

dogster is such a nice community. a dog can make pals no matter what they look like. when we first joined we thought it was going to be a bunch of purebred snobs. dogster is about dogs and the ones who love them. we have had a lot of fun here and learned practical doggy things. bones for everyone!

Mom is getting a new computer in a couple days. everyone here will be able to see how cute I am, and why Mom can't help loving me.

I got to play with my buddy Pippin yesterday. now we are both bugging our families to open the gate. they know the best exercise we can get is playing with each other.

moo cows

Dad took Mom and I for a car ride just out of town. that would be exciting enough, but it got even better. there were cows just outside my window. everytime I see a cow I whine because I want to meet one. I think cows are my friends. I act really different than when I see dogs, cats or people, when I get a sniff of bovine aroma. Dad sings that cow song, when he sees how I'm enjoying the experience. I haven't been nose to nose with a cow yet, only in my dreams (at least not since I got my forever home).
