Dec. 20, 2006

This is my first diary entry, so I'm going to summarize what my life is like on a normal day.
I wake Mommy up between 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. for my breakfast - I don't care if it's the weekend and she wants to sleep in or not. I eat then go outside to do my business - I hurry back in because there's sometimes a surprise in my bowl (like blueberries, strawberries, etc.). Then we go back to bed and I get my cuddle - I get my ears scratched or I get a nice massage and I lick Mommie's hands cause they taste good. I go back to sleep and Mommy goes to work.
I sleep all day unless I hear a truck; then I have to get up and bark at it. I bark at the postman too - I don't know why-he's really nice-it's just my job.
Rod gives me a cookie for lunch - I like the Paul Newman heart shaped peanut butter ones. Sometimes Rod takes me for a walk in the park. If not, I just sleep.
I am so excited when Mommy comes home from work-Rod opens the door and I run like mad to greet her! I don't realise how much I miss her until she comes home. Sometimes she has something for me like a Timbit from Tim Horton's. I know those words really well. If it's summer, Mommy takes me for a walk in the park. If it's winter, she doesn't-sometimes she tries to get me out for some exercise but I hate the snow and cold and I won't go. After supper, I follow her around all night. At 9:00, she sits on the couch with me and we have a little snack - sometimes I get some popcorn, sometimes pretzels. Then I sleep on her lap and we go to bed. It's a very tiring schedule, day after day.

Dec. 20, 2006 - I forgot

Mommy is off for Christmas Holidays. We went to the park and I saw my girlfriend Katie. She's a girl Chihuahua and she has a pretty blue coat with pink fur. I ran around and peed all over the place to show her how much I liked her. Then I chased the geese into the water - there were about a hundred of them and I felt so proud after.

Chi chi has come for a visit

I went to Chi-chi's house for 2 weeks and now she's come to mine. I'm a bit jealous when she goes near my mommy, but I'm getting used to her. She follows me all around and tries to do what I do - copy cat. She can't copy my tricks though. She is keeping me company while my mommy is at work.

My new home

It didn't take me long to get used to my new home. Wherever my mommy is, that's home to me. I love to go over to the new neighbours front yard because there is a yummy dead thing over there. I'm happy because I'm still close to the park and I still know my way around when we go for a walk. There is an awesome dog down the street - Max - except I don't like it when she jumps on me but she sure smells good. There's another awesome dog down the street the other way - Bailey - she's sure cute. My other friends Simon and Angus are now just around the corner from me. So is ChiChi, but the last time we saw her, she wasn't very friendly - I think she was guarding her van.

My Thanksgiving Visitors

The kids came to visit me on Thanksgiving - Evan, Holly, Bronwyn and their friend Kelly. I had lots of fun but then I got tired and grouchy and growly. They really liked all my clothes.

It's been too long

Wow! I've been barking and barking at my Mom to add a new diary entry for me. My paws are too little to fit on the keyboard. I'm 12 and a half now and except for being on thyroid medication and losing my front top and bottom teeth, I'm still like a young pup, except a bit grouchier. I still run fast - my mom could hardly keep up to me yesterday when we went to the park (of course, she's getting old but I would never tell her that). I have a new girl friend Charlie that moved in around the block (don't tell Bailey and Chi-chi). When I see her I can't help but do a back flip and run round and round. I have a new human that moved into the house too. I let him think he's the boss of me but you and I know the real truth! I have a great dogsitter when Mom goes away. He lives down stairs and feeds me every time I look at him with that "I'm so hungry" look. I still keep the chipmunks and squirrels on their toes and bark at all the skateboarders and trucks that drive by. I let them know who the boss is. Oh, I think I heard the crinkle of a food wrapper - I've gotta go!

I'm a teenager

It's my birthday today and I'm 13 years old. Mom says I'm a teenager but I'm really 64 in dog years. I act like a teenager though. Mom says I have to wait until Saturday to have my party. Maybe if I'm really good, she'll let me have my party on Friday. I got 25 dogster bones and a football from my friends on dogster. They really like me. Everybody really like me.
