Streaming consciousness #2!

Here's my second streaming consciousness diary entry! I had so much fun writing my first that I decided to write another. I have a busy consciousness, so this might be a long entry!

Yesterday morning there were a whole bunch of cows and horses in the pasture right next to our yard. They're still there today. I've been barking at those cows and horses, telling them to get out of here! They're too close to our yard! Sister took a picture of me and the cows yesterday-I'll make her get it posted soon. Oh, guess what! Mommy's making me and Drover some doggy treats today! They're called "Barbeque Barks", and I can't wait to try them! Drover'll probably hog them all. He's such a hog sometimes. Cindy, on the other hand, will hardly stop watching cats to get her treats. I always offer to eat her's if she doesn't want them. The new cats are pretty cool. I like to watch them and chase them and try to play with them! I haven't gotten any new toys for a really long time- it's been a month or two since I got any new ones! Drover's always hogging my toys and playing with them when I want to use them. I have to attack him and squeal in his ear to make him give them back. I like my toys-they're fun! Oh, I've been thinking about something else that would be fun! I want to tie a bunch of helium balloons around my tummy, tether myself to the ground, and go floating up into the air! That'd be lots of fun- sort of like flying! I came up with idea of the balloons awhile ago, and at first I thought I would just use the balloons and not the tether. I couldn't figure out how I would get back down, though. I thought about taking a needle along with me and popping the balloons, but that would make me fall. I thought about untying them from my tummy, but that would also make me fall. Then I came up with the tether idea. That'll work, as long as I can get somebody to pull me back down, and Drover doesn't cut the rope. That's something he'd do, too. I bet'cha he'd do that! Drover's just kinda ornery like that. Everyone thinks he's so sweet, but that's all an act. Like the groomer- she thinks he's so sweet, so she's nice to him when she grooms him. When she puts him in the washing machine, she puts it on the delicate cycle. I get no such treatment, even though I'm so cute. Hmph. Yesterday Mom called the groomer and made us appointments. We go in on Friday. I don't like haircuts- or rather, hairshrinks. That's all the groomer really does- wash us so our hair shrinks. I can smell those doggy treats baking. They smell really yummy, kinda like pizza! I like pizza. Actually, I've never had any pizza. I've had some human foods, but not pizza. My family was having waffles this morning. I wanted some, so I went into the middle of the kitchen and barked once, real loud. My family wasn't expecting it, and they all jumped. Unfortunately, they didn't make any waffles jump onto the floor. *sigh* Hey, I just heard the oven timer beep- I think the treats are done! I'm gonna go check it out.

Barks and tail wiggles to you all!

My music

It's not working just right, but I wanted to tell you why I choose the Hobbit music.
Hobbits are short, I am short
Hobbits have pointy ears, I have pointy ears.
Hobbits have hairy feet, I have hairy feet.
Hobbits like to eat, I like to eat.
Hobbits, when pressed, are brave and fearless, me too!

Plus this is a peppy, cute little song, I am peppy and cute.

I will get my staff to work out the bugs so the song plays right and my page looks good.

April Fool's Day '07

I really had Drover in a dither yesterday. Tee hee.
I told him yesterday morning I had something big planned for April Fool's Day, just for him. He was a nervous wreck all day and into the evening. He napped with one eye open and always wanted me to walk in front of him when we went outside. He never did relax all day.
And the deal was, I didn't do anything to him! No trick, no joke, nothing!
It was so funny watching him getting nervouser and nervouser.
Hee hee, I can't wait until next year.
Stumpy tail wags to all!

A basement mystery

I usually go downstairs early each morning to help Mommy with her exercise work. I'm her personal trainer. Well, this morning there was poop on the rug right where she does her workout stuff! I gave it a good sniffing before she got it picked up. Now, it didn't smell or look like kitty doo, and it was too small to be Cindy's. So, that only leaves one other dog that could have done such a naughty thing.
You guessed it, Drover. Now I know he will deny it, saying he has Never done Anything naughty in the house. And he will probably accuse me of the stinking crime. He didn't see me do it, he was snoozing on the couch. Sometimes I do go downstairs, alone, like I used to do when I was a puppy. But I come right back upstairs and go to the door to be let out. Nobody at all saw me go poopy on the rug and nobody didn't see Drover do it either. So it was probably him. Yeah, it was Drover.
The fact that it was starting to rain, and I don't like to go outside when it is raining had nothing to do with it.

Innocently yours,

I'm becoming Daddy's Girl

I just love to help Daddy outside. It has been so nice lately, that Daddy has been working to get our garden ready. I just stay with him and supervise his work. I hand him tools and stuff. He talks to me and tells me what a good girl I am. Two days in a row, I just mostly helped Daddy. I was a pooped pup after being outside in all the fresh air and doing all that helping work. I asked to go to bed about 8:30 last night!
I can't believe what Drover did though. All this talk of how much he loves Mommy and he tried to escape the yard yesterday. I was taking a break from helping Daddy and Drover and I were just wandering around our yard. All of a sudden he's got his head under the fence and is trying to dig his way out! I was shocked and I told him he was very naughty and was going to get in trouble! I was trying to get him to come back in the yard. Mom looked out the window and came running out hollering at Drover. He pulled his head back then. Sister tried to get ahold of his collar to take him inside and he growled at her and threatened to bite her! She did get him inside, but he is a naughty boy! He's probably so ashamed of himself, I doubt if he tells about it in his diary. Man, I have to keep an eye on that jailbird.
Arrrrooooo!

I'm a helper!

The other day, Daddy was working out in the yard, doing stuff with the garden raised beds. I was helping him! I'd trot out with him to the raised beds to supervise him, then go over to the fence to bark at some cows that were getting too close, then go back over to help Daddy! I was such a good helper that I got to go outside of the fenced yard with Daddy a few times!

Mommy says I'm a good girl, too. We have two new kitties, and they're pretty nice. I want to meet them, and sometimes I really want to chase them and play with them. I don't, though! I go up and sniff noses with them. Like I said, they're nice kitties, I just wish they'd run away from me a few times so I could chase them. Heehee!

Bark you all later!

Streaming consciousness

Drover was telling me about a book he was reading. The book sounds boring, and I forgot the title, but he said it was writen in streaming consciousness style. He said that's when somebody writes what they're thinking, as they think it. I thought that sounded cool, so I thought I'd try!

Hm, I don't know what to write about- wait, I do know! The other day I was back in the bedroom with Mommy and Daddy. I was up on the bed, and started to fall off, but Daddy saved me! He grabbed me and saved me from falling. Drover probably tried to push me off the bed. I never know what he's going to do next. Like yesterday- I was outside catching bugs, and he tried to put a dead fly in my ear. I was able to get out of the way, but it wound up on my head. It was gross! Brother took it off for me. I really like catching bugs- it's warmed up real nice the past couple of days, and a whole bunch of bugs are coming out off the woodwork. Or someplace. I don't know if they're coming out of the woodwork or not, but they sure are coming out of someplace! So I have to catch them. They're aren't as many bugs out today, though, cause it's windy. I didn't spend as much time outside today. Drover and me had to stay in our boxes for a really long time. Mom and Brother and Sister went into "the big city" to shop. They went to PetCo! Woot! They brought home some more food for us, and a bag of treats from the PetCo treat bar. I wanted them to buy me somemore toys, like a great big long fuzzy snake, or an octopus with really long fuzzy legs, or a giant hedgehog that makes a grunting kind of noise. He reminds me of Fritz MacDougal, my old hedgehog who's in toy heaven now. I kept tearing up his spine, and Mommy and Sister kept sewing him up, but I kept tearing him up, and eventually, he was too torn up to be sewed up again. So he went to toy heaven. *sniff* Then there's Squishy- I got a big blue ball I called Squishy, and played with it outside. It popped, though, when Sister threw it and it landed against the fence. We got another blue ball, that I called Squishy 2, but Drover came along and chewed that one up! I just never know what Drover's going to do next.

This streaming consciousness thing is fun! My consciousness is all typed-out right now, but maybe I'll try it again later!
Talk to you pups later! Arroooos!

I Survived!

Not to worry Pups! I survived the night in the closet! It is actually a spacious closet and Mommy did leave the door open for us. Daddy did forget and close it but Mommy opened it right away. They said they may even take the doors off. The worst part was, Amber, one of the kitties kept creeping in the closet and staring at me. She stuck out her tongue a time or two. Or maybe that was her hairball hack-up face.
Bad part is I can't watch the flames in the woodstove anymore. Good part is the closet is Real close to Breakfast! I just came shooting out of my box and stuffed my face in my food dish.
Drover wants me to make a point to tell you that he didn't use up all the air. But he does have bad morning breath, yuck.

It was a super nice, springy day today. I just love to go outside and hunt bugs. That's what I did today. Plus a lot of barking at, oh, just anything.

Arroooos to all my pals!

Wierd...

Yesterday I was real busy. Daddy was working on something downstairs, and Mommy was working on something upstairs, so I had to help them both! I'd go back to help Mommy for awhile, then run all the way down the hall, down the stairs, and over to where Daddy was, and help him. Then I'd need to go help Mommy some more, so I ran back up the stairs and all the way down the hall to help her.

Then, in the evening, something really wierd started to happen! Mommy, Daddy, and Brother started moving the washing machine. That's right-the washing machine! They started moving it! They pulled it out from the closet where it was (I was helping, of course), and started taking it downstairs.

There was some icky gunky black...gunk on the floor where the washing machine was. Drover and I weren't allowed to walk in it. I found something under the washing machine and ate it. I don't know what it was. It might have been an old piece of popcorn.

They slid it down the stairs, with me riding on top of it, and put it next to the dryer. Drover had been sleeping the whole time and didn't wake up until we were all done. I think he had been planning that. Anyway, he woke up and started freaking out-he thought somebody had stole the washing machine. I had to take him downstairs and show it to him before he calmed down and stopped trying to call the police.

The washing-machine-moving-incident wasn't too bad, but then it happened. Mom moved Drover and me's boxes into the closet where the washing machine used to be. We're going to have to start sleeping in the closet! I'll have to be in there with Drover. He'll use up all the oxygen-he sucks it up like a vacuum cleaner- and I won't be able to sleep because he snores so loud! He gets really bad nighttime breath, too. The closet will be filled with toxic fumes. Mommy says she'll leave the closet doors open, but she'll probably forget and close them.

Tonight will be my first night in The Closet. I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow. If I survive the night, that is...

Congrats to Jelly and Jennifer for being Diary of the Days! Hope you two get speedy internet soon.
Arrrooooos!

Snow day!

A couple of days ago it snowed here, and yesterday it was real windy, so today there are a bunch of drifts, and a humungus one in the back yard! This morning, Sister was talking about taking me sleddin' on the big drift. I was so excited! I had to wait until she was all done with her school (which took forever!) before we could go out to sled.
Finally she was ready, and had the sleds at the top of the drift. She got on one sled and sat on the edge of the drift, all ready to go down. I got scared, though. I've never been on a sled before, and that was one big drift! I've never seen such a big drift! It was about 150 feet tall. I didn't want to go sleddin'.
I climbed up on the drift with Sister and was walking around on top of it, but I wouldn't get on the sled, or let Sister get ahold of me.
Pretty soon Brother and Drover came outside, and Sister gave up on the sleddin' idea. BOL. We started playing with our Jolly Balls and running around in the snow. Brother and Sister made big holes where they stepped on the snowdrift, and sometimes Drover and me would step in the holes, trip, and do faceplants. Drover did it more than I did.
While we were playing, I found a great big frisbee! Brother kept calling it a saucer sled, whatever that is, but I knew it was a great big frisbee! I had lots of fun running around carrying it in my mouth. There's some pictures on my page, you can see the huge frisbee.
I got tired out doing that, and got lots of little snowballs on my fur. It was fun, though! I'm pooped now, and it's my bedtime. G'night!
Arrooos and tail wiggles!
