Just found my favorite snake toy!

Yep, he up and disappeared the other day. One minute I was chewing, um, playing with snake toy, the next minute, he was gone!
I just found him. He was at the sewing machine hospital. A lot of my toys have to go to the hospital. Anyhoo, all of a sudden, Mommy was handing me snakie toy. He seems a little shorter but it's good ol' snake toy.
I love my snake toy. I play and play with brother every morning with my snake toy. We play until I get mad at Drover playing his silly quiet "chase me" game. Brother thinks I'm tired but I am just mad at Drover and his silly game.
I think I want to celebrate my birthday tomorrow, a day early! Some of my family will be gone on my birthday on Monday. So I can have the whole day for ME a day early! Man, I hope I get a ton of goodies!

Mommy says I'm Shameless but I don't care

An Early Birthday Treat

After Mommy vacuumed the house today, she moved the love seat to the big window. No one likes to have the couch or loveseat there because I sit up there and bark away!
Sound the alarm! There went a truck! There are some ladies riding horses! There a guy over in the yard, oh, wait, that's brother. There is a bug! A leaf fell off the bushes! You know, the usual protecting and guarding stuff.
I just had a bad thought. Maybe the loveseat by the window is only for my birthday. What if it is the only thing I get?

I Saw A Sack

I was starting to get worried. Finally, a couple of days ago, I saw a sack being hidden in Mommy's closet. That is where gift goodies get hidden before a special day. Yep, it was a Petco sack! And I saw our dog food being dumped in the storage container so the sack has to have something for me! For my birthday!
But the really big deal, for my family at least, was a new laptop computer for Mommy. Sounds exciting, huh? For the past two days all she has done is tinker with that laptop. Yesterday us dogs barely got one cookie. She "forgot".
And last night, it dawned on her that she didn't have to sit at the desk so she sits with the laptop on her, well, lap while watching TV. She was on Dogster, not writing anything in my diary though. She was reading about a stray dog at a gas station. The whole thing is a forum thread, goes on for pages. My pal, Miss Bella told us about it. It's like a real live doggie soap opera! BOL.

At least I am getting a little bit of Mommy's precious time now. Yeah, she is So busy. Busy sawing logs, while napping on the couch. Busy slaving over a hot microwave for 9 minutes as she nukes the family's supper. Busy talking silly baby talk to Drover. Ugh.
I think I am loosing my place as baby of the family. I am becoming second place to the laptop, Baby Tenderlove.

Snowy Zoe

Another Saturday of wet snow! It's not nice to play in because it is so wet. I just go outside to do my dooty! I don't like to get wet. Drover has to follow Mommy around while she is taking care of the chickens.
Now, of course, he wants to share the love seat with me for our naps. Ugh, he smells like wet dog.

We were Naked

I saw Drover naked and he saw me naked. How embarrassing.
We got shiny new collars today and while Mommy and brother and sister were putting the tags on the new collars our old ones were off and we were naked! We were running around the living room barking and carrying on!
They are Lupine collars. I got pink flowers "Cherry Blossom", Drover got blue "Muddy Paws", and Cindy got a pretty purple "Jelly Roll".
We need new name tags, that's probably pushing it though. With 3 dogs and about a gazillion cats, we're doing good to get fed every morning.
My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. I hope this wasn't the only present I'll get.

A New Job and I Love It!

Nevermind that Mommy told me I was becoming a beggar dog. She is the one that needed help cleaning the pot that had lots of stuff stuck in it. She is the one that let the stuff get a little bit stuck in there. She is the one that put the pot on the floor for me to clean.
Yummy job! The pot had some pasta and peas and chicken stuck on, not burned. Took me a long time to get that tasty goo cleaned up but I got the job done.
Oh cool! Cindy just chewed one of our big bones into about a zillion little pieces. I gotta go grab some before they get picked up and tossed in the trash.

Con Artist

That's what Mommy called all of us dogs: con artists.
If we come in from outside and sit nice at the pantry door and be quiet and turn on the "cute", we get cookies. That's it, sit, be cute, get cookies!
Easy-peasy.
Try this at home and see what happens!

The Other Turkey

You know, Drover was talking about cleaning off the turkey poo from the bottoms of shoes? There is something called turkey that is Way better than the poo part.
I heard Mommy call it turkey, it is in the house on our kitchen counter. It doesn't look like the big white birds we could see from the corner of our yard. But she called it turkey and she gave each of us dogs some tasty bites!
I can't see the big white turkey birds anymore and I don't hear any gobbling noises. I am gonna have to think on this problem.

Helping with carrots

If you read my diary you can find out about all the things I do around here to be a good helper. I've got another job.
Daddy dug up a bunch of carrots last night. He didn't let me help with that job. This morning Mommy had all the carrots in the kitchen. She said she was peeling them but it looked like she was throwing a bunch away! Anyway, sometimes those slivers of carrots would not go into the trashcan. I would clean those up off the floor. Mommy would pay me with little round pieces of carrots! She told me if I ate too many pieces of carrot, I would turn orange! I'm not so sure about that but I do like carrots!
