I was tagged!!!!! :)

According to what I read, I have to share seven fun facts about myself and tag seven other Dogsters. I was tagged by Loki. http://www.dogster.com/dogs/373607

1. I don't like thunderstorms much, but if mommy and daddy are around it can be a tornado and I don't care, it's tolerable.

2. Peanut butter is the best thing in the entire world!

3. When it's wet outside, I like to be dried off with a towel when I come back inside.

4. I love having baths and being brushed, especially since mommy and daddy use a puppy massager on me when they bathe me.

5. When mommy or daddy burp I stare them down until they say excuse me.

6. I love to play hide and seek!

7. When mommy and daddy get out of the shower, I have to dry their legs for them. :)

I have learned to burp. I burped right at daddy the other day. He does it to me all the time, so I figured it was time for payback. I walked up to him after eating and when he started petting my chin I burped at him. Hee hee hee.

I don't like thunderstorms. I'm sleeping in this morning because a big one hit in the middle of the night and I cried because it scared me.

I also learned why mommy and daddy keep trying to get me to not eat Junebugs. I ate one last week and didn't feel well for a couple of days after that. They even made me go see Dr. Wheeler. I think I'll stay away from Junebugs from now on.

I have been one busy puppy!

I haven't had time to write diary entries in a while. Mommy and Daddy and I moved to a new house not long after the last entry I posted. I was a little nervous about the new house because for a while all of our furniture was at the old house, and it didn't really feel like home to me until it was all here. Now mommy and daddy are still unpacking boxes, but it feels more like home.

Mommy and Daddy also took me on vacation to Chicago. I got to meet Nana and Aunt Kathy, and Aunts Verity and Liberty and Cousins Melody and Harmony. Mommy discovered that I'll do just about anything for green beans. Aunt Verity has been looking all over for me since I left, at least that's what Nana told Mommy. I miss the other dogs. It took me a couple of days to re-adjust to being the only dog and get playful again.

Of course now that I'm back home, I'm just as likely to get into trouble as ever. I have discovered that I don't have to let go of my toys if I don't want to, and that Daddy can pick me up along with the toy if I don't feel like letting go. I've also discovered that I can climb trees, much to Mommy and Daddy's amusement. Anyhow, here's my video. It's work and family safe, but has sound (mostly Mommy talking to me and laughing when she sees me get in the tree.)

It's about time I got to be animated.

Since I have such a personality, mommy has put up some pictures and video of me. They are at http://home.earthlink.net/~chewiedog1/images

Last night daddy was playing his computer and mommy and I were watching TV. I thought mommy and daddy should be hanging out together so I looked out at daddy and whined. He didn't hear me so I looked at mommy. She told me "go get daddy!" So I jumped down off the bed, ran over by daddy, and barked at him until he got up. Then I stood on my hind legs so I could use my front paws to push him where I wanted him to go. I herded daddy into the bedroom so he could watch Discovery Channel with me and mommy.

Speaking of Discovery Channel, I really like watching the shows with animals on them. Mommy told me there was a show about fire ants on today before they got up and that they are poisonous. Maybe one of these days I'll realize it's maybe not such a good idea to sniff around the fire ant mounds that are all over the place outside. Mommy and daddy usually catch me at it before I make the ants angry enough to attack.

My friend the grass snake is still afraid of me but daddy told me he eats slugs. Mommy wishes he'd eat the snails that keep eating her flowers, but he's not into shells-they are too big to swallow and hard to digest.

Daddy was on the phone talking to grandma and I'm so polite that when mommy was trying to get me to speak and say hi to grandma, that all I wanted to do was growl. I was afraid if I did any more than growl that daddy wouldn't be able to hear grandma.

I might get to go to grandma and grandpa's house tomorrow and see Aunt Hannah, if I'm a good boy. That would be fun!

Daddy is baking pizza. That smells really good, but I don't think it would be good for my tummy. I just ate my puppy food, anyhow. I need to go outside again in a few minutes. Maybe my friend the grass snake will be outside again! I like him, but I think he's afraid of me. He lets me sniff him for a few seconds and then he slithers away.

Daddy's hair tastes good. I love to bite it and pull on it. Daddy doesn't always appreciate it or take it as a compliment, but he does have cool hair.

First entry

This morning I really needed to go out about 6:30 so Daddy took me outside. I heard one of the dogs next door barking and I wanted to see what that was all about. Now I'm having a lazy morning, but I'm getting a little bit hungry so I think I'll tell mommy it's time to feed me and let me out again! I'll just go to the door and-wait a minute... lemme out of this kennel thing!

WOOF! Oh, hi mommy. I want to go outside! Then I want some breakfast!
