Life: Through the window next to the door.

It's Been Awhile.

Wow, it's been awhile since I've gotten my paws on that annonying keyboard that steals Mom and Dad's attention away from the cutest thing in the apartment complex. Mom doesn't even go on the computer very often anymore.

A couple weeks ago I got really sick. I kept Mom and Dad up all night...and they didn't even yell at me when I put spots all over the carpet. The next morning Mom took the day off work to stay home with me. I like it when she stays home. I was starting to feel better and then she took me for a car ride. I hung my head out the window and let my ears flap...but then I started not feeling so well again. I went in the backseat and laid down, but that didn't seem to help. When we stopped, we were at my least favorite place in the whole wide world: the "vet's" office. There we got to sit around for a long, long time. The doctor looked at me all over while Mommy held me on a cold table up high. Then some ladies took me into the other room and Mommy couldn't come with me. I didn't want to go, but they carried me away. They put me in some thingie that made me lay still. Mom says they took pictures of me. But I don't believe her 'cuz they never took out that camera thing that points the red light. After they were done, they brought me back to Mommy. She held me and talked to the doctor for a long time. The put something up on a light and pointed at black spots.......something about greenies. Where's the greenies? I want a treat! We went outside for a walk and one of the girls came with. That's okay though, we were outside and I got to sniff lots of things. But then I tried to blog my pee-mail on a bush and this girl stuck this thing under me and tried to catch my "blog". I was like "What the heck?" I didn't let her get near me again. No Sir, no way.

I started feeling better later, but Mom and Dad kept giving me yucky stuff into my mouth like every morning and every night. I was like "I'm better already!" Then Mom took all of my greenie treats away. I had ordered 2 huge boxes of them from online. She says she gave them to a friend at work. Why does her friend need them? I'm the one that needs greenies. *sigh* So now I eat the gravy milkbones. At least they have one of my buddies on the box. I think that's the only reason Mommy bought them.

Mom and Dad said they were going to take me to the park to see my buddies this morning. But when we went outside this morning, we got all wet. I hate getting wet. So I was content to stay home.....but then THEY went away. They came home with a whole bunch of bags. I'm still waiting to see what they got me. ....so I ate my breakfast and supper like a good boy. They let me lick their suppers when I do that...and I usually get a treat too. Anyways, I think I'm gonna go snoop in those plastic bags now.

Be careful with your greenies everyone....or else my mommy will come and take them away.

Where'd the snow go?

Oh boy was it hot yesterday. Mommy says it's even nicer today. So while she's at school I think I'll sunbathe on the carpet...no, maybe on the couch. I'm a good guard dog that way. In fact, last night Daddy said I was the best intermittent guard dog he's ever lived with. I was in bed and there was a big noise. Mommy wasn't there and I got worried. I jumped right out of bed and howled like a beagle--or so Mommy says I did. Whatever that is.

We moved our play group from meetup.com to a new site. Mommy says that it's because the new website is free and she wants me to be able to keep getting together with my buddies in Denver to play. So our new Denver Boston Terrier Club website is at yahoo.com : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/denverbostonterriers . It's kind of cool there. People talk about stuff and my Mommy organizes times for me and my buddies to play.

My friend, Bosley got sick this last month with kennel cough from someone at his daycare place. I really hope he gets better 'cuz I'm not allowed to play with him if he doesn't. We're the same size and we like to play together. Last month he came to the St. Patrick's Day party. The lady with the 4 french bulldogs and 2 boston terriers had it at her house. All of us got to play in the backyard. There was a big ball and lots of friends and treats too. It was lots of fun. I hope we do something like that again soon.

Mommy says that we get to go to the dogparks this month. She says that we'll be going to the 2 places we went when it was really cold: the dogpark at Tony Grampsas in Golden and the Arvada dogpark. When we went to the Arvada dogpark last month there was lots of snow. Mommy and Daddy started throwing it at each other. I hope there are more dogs there this time and there's not any snow. Mud would be good. I like mud....except when Mommy insists on wiping it off my paws. I hope you can come this month. It'll be lots of fun. I'll bring my racquet ball and maybe Mommy and Daddy will let me get a big ball to play with from the store.

Mommy packed so much stuff....I'm confused.

Mommy packed up a lot of stuff today. Before I even realized it she had a huge suitcase and some other bags by the door. I sat by the door and watched her every move. I'm a good doggie and I'm not going to let her leave without me. Daddy was gone to work already. Then we put all those things in the car and drove around town. I didn't know what was going on and didn't really feel like eating the hamburger that Mommy got me at McDonald's. After we ate McDonald's we drove for a long, long time and when we stopped we were somewhere cold and there was snow on the ground. Things are better tonight. We're in one of those places with two beds and I got 2 pillows all to myself. Mommy's sitting beside me and doesn't mind if I cuddle up against her. I hope Daddy comes here too.

Mommy says we're going to see Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Brenton and Auntie Zanna....but I haven't seen Grandma and Grandpa forever....and there aren't any flying things around here, so I know Uncle Brent and Auntie Zanna aren't coming. *pout* I'm gonna cuddle. At least I got yummy food today. I hope I get yummy food tomorrow.
