Puppy Politics & the Day of Terror

OHHH BOY!! What a day!! Went to Grandma & Grandpa's house today -- had to meet up with Renegade Riley again. He really does pull a lot of PUPPY ANTICS!!
He kept biting my tail, back, legs, neck, side and any other body part he could get a hold of. And it really HURTS!! I would cry and cry!!! I was not pretending - he has really sharp PUPPY teeth!!
Grandma just kept saying, "Oh good boy Riley, good boy Riley" , even though as far as I could see he was doing nothing to be a "good boy", only terrorizing me.
And grandpa, who is usually the softie, could see that he was really hurting me - so he made Riley go in his kennel for time-out. Truth be told, I was glad he had to go in the kennel, though I don't think he cared at all. He would just plop down and rest. I can run circles around him, he gets tired so VERY easily, maybe I should be calling him Riley the Old Fart instead.
My dad even said that Riley needs a muzzle when he starts biting me too much and maybe he would learn to leave me ALONE!!!
My mom told that we would not be visiting grandma & grandpa's house anymore!!!!
Everybody, except Grandpa (I LOVE grandpa!!) was taking "good boy" Riley's side.
I used to have SOOO much fun at their house. I miss the old times with my bestest of best friends, Nora. OHH, how I miss her!!!
Got to go, Dusty, the cat-sitting cat, is lurking about. Now that I am back at home I have to deal with her!! First Riley, now her, what else do I have to deal with today???? I used to get along fine with her, but she has beat me up a couple of times, and now I don't really care for her too much.....can't a little puppy just get a break sometimes!

The Drive-Ins & other NONSENSE!

Well, I HATE it when my parents go out to the drive-ins. They say they would take me but there is a BIG sign that says NO PETS ALLOWED. I am so small, Grandma said they should just sneak me in under a blanket. Only problem...I can't promise to be QUIET!! I just LOVE to BARK!! LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!
I bark at the the TV, at people walking down the road. When we are out and about I bark from the car at everybody, it seems they think I would cause a mini-riot at the drive-ins. Me?? I mean look at my FACE, could I cause a situation!???!
So they go and I am stuck at home, all alone, on a Saturday night! The nerve!
Next time I think I am going to suggest that they just wait for the DVD release!
And then today, they bailed on taking me to my grandparents house to see Riley!
We had all these plans to go, but I think they were being lazy butts because they were out late on Saturday.
They said I have to wait until next week-end now, humpfff.....

Rainy week-end and other misadventures...

Well, well, well....my grandma and grandpa got a new puppy, a 9-week old Golden Retriever, Riley is his name. My uncle just dropped him off on Friday night and said Here you go! and then ran off. So we were all on puppy patrol this week-end. The puppy has a thing or two or three or four or more to learn!
He was pooping and peeing all over the house AND he was YANKING on my tail!!
I had to keep running to the "safe-zone" (on the couch), because he can't jump on the couch yet.
Plus, he was up to all other kinds of naughty too. I don't know what we shall do with him! I am supposed to go back this week-end to see him, I am not so sure about that yet.
It RAINED and RAINED all week-end long, so we were stuck inside most of the time, though I did sneak out and get in a few bird and squirrel chases - FUN!
Then on Sunday, we were on cat checking duty for my other grandma's cats, and ended up at the emergency clinic until midnight!!
And NOW the cat, Dusty, is at MY house for the week. But, I don't mind her at all, my sister Chloe, on the other hand...that's another story!
And then I got sick, I think too many goodies at the grandparents house! My mom said NO MORE!!
I had to go to the vet and get a shot and a mouthful of pink stuff - YUCK!!
Then I got some bland special food from the vet, but I actually LOVE it.
Ohhh how I was dancing all around my dad yesterday waiting for it. YUMMY!!
I gotta go, I think my dad has more food for me!!!
