I've been tagged...or is it wagged?

I got Tagged by Gus, my brother!

Here are the rules:

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!

1. I am a fatty! I love to eat!
2. I love to antagonize my brother. I am a bossy cow.
3. I love belly rubs.
4. My breath often stinks--mostly like garlic.
5. I am nosey and always need to be up in everyone's business.
6. I love to smell people's breath to see what they've been eating.
7. One of my nicknames is Boog because I always have slimey eye boogs that need to be wiped (and it kind of sounds like Brigitta--Boogitta).

My seven tags:
1. Gideon
2. Dreyfus
3. Monte
4. Honey
5. Beemer
6. Tarzan
7. Dakota

Graduation!

I just graduated from puppy Kindergarten class! I got a golden star sticker and everything! Also, I am feeling much better. My poopies are solid, and I have more energy than ever before. Life is looking up. Mommy keeps saying that next week she has to go back to work full time. I don't really know what she is talking about, but she looks awfully sad when she says it. She says that I will have my big brother to keep me company while she is away. I sure like him. He is my best buddy!

Wormerita

Well, Mommy finally got tired of my runny poopies, so she took me to the holistic veterinarian. He found round worms in my poo. Icky! Mommy started calling me Wormerita. BOL! Also, he found a big ol' wart on my tail. Apparently, I am having allergic reactions to my vaccines, so now I have to be detoxified. I am working my way to a raw food diet. I have to take a bunch of enzymes for my tummy. Mommy told me that she loves me so much that she will do whatever it takes to make me a healthy doggie. Tonight I got to eat zucchini, broccoli, carrots, cottage cheese, egg, and raw ground turkey. It was super yummy!

Poo-Poo Bandit

Well, Mommy and Daddy should have known that I was a trouble-maker when they first saw me. I have a bandit-like mask over my eyes, and yesterday I became the POO-POO BANDIT! Dum, dum, duuuuum! When Mommy wasn't looking and thought I was sleeping, I snuck downstairs and left her a present. But this wasn't just any old present--it was a runny one! Mommy didn't find the present until today when she was racing out the door to meet Daddy for lunch! What's worse it that Mommy only found part of my present. The big present was downstairs in the spare bedroom. I hid my presents well! The only reason Mommy even found it was because of the smell. Anyway, Mommy spent a half an hour cleaning it up with the carpet cleaner. She had to use a spatula to pick it up off the floor first. Mommy says that the spatula will never be used to cook again, unless she is making poop burgers. BOL! I'm so sly. Until next time, Bandit fans...

Big Weekend

I had such a big weekend! I went on my first road trip to eastern Washington. I stayed at my grandma and grandpa's house on the river. I got to walk into town twice, and, boy, did I get a lot of attention! Mommy says it was good practice for me. We drove back on Sunday, and, then a few hours later, I went to my first puppy Kindergarten class. I was the only puppy that laid on the floor on my back, looking for a comfortable sleeping position. BOL! My parents said I was the cutest puppy in class. I learned how to pay attention, sit, and lay down. Mommy says that the days of free treats are over, and now I have to work for my treats. I guess that's not so bad. Next Sunday, I go back for my second class. I wonder what I'll learn to do next.

Potty Princess

Mommy says that I have been the Potty Princess! I haven't had any accidents for 3 straight days! Whoopee! I am so proud of myself. Also, I have learned how to take a running leap onto the couch to snuggle with Mommy. Also, I get to go on walks to the mailbox to pick up the mail everyday. I am very good on my leash (I get to use my brother's WSU leash from Butch). I am a big girl now! Tomorrow I get my final puppy shots, and then I get to visit Daddy at work and meet all his co-workers. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me.

The World Is My Toilet

The title says it all, doesn't it? So, I like to pee anywhere and everywhere! I am not doing so well with my house breaking. Today, I peed twice on the carpet within 15 minutes of each other! Also, I peed in my crate today! Mommy is getting very frustrated with me, so she says that she has to step up the training a bit more. No more leaving water out for free drinking. Mommy says that I am on a drink schedule because the water runs right through me. I am doing much better with my crate training, although I still don't like to go in there on my own. Mommy has to coax me in with treats. I am usually not very interested in my toys that are in my crate. I'm still little, though, and I have a lot to learn.

Home Alone

Today, Mommy left my brother and me by ourselves for the first time. Well, I was in my crate and my brother and I were in the dog run. Mommy says I am still too little to be left alone with my brother. Even though he has been wonderful to me, she says that he could get too rough with me and hurt me. Anyway, I did a good job in my crate. My crate troubles seem to be behind me now. I have moved on to having more accidents in the house...

Last night, I left a "present" for my daddy downstairs. He let my brother and me in the house after playing outside. Daddy was sweeping something up in the garage for two minutes and came back in. Mommy was upstairs paying bills and didn't know Daddy let us in. Well, I took that 2 minute opportunity to poo on the downstairs carpet. Daddy didn't even see it or smell it until this morning. BOL! Mommy says I taught Daddy a very important lesson.

I got more medicine from the veterinarian today. I have a bladder infection and my other medicine is not working to get rid of it. I hope I get better soon. Mommy thinks that I don't even know I'm a little sick.

Crate Training

Crate training stinks! I hate my crate! I cried and barked for 2 hours last night. Mommy had to sit next to me and spray me in the face with water everytime I cried. I would give up after about 5 minutes and lay down. When Mommy walked away, I started crying again. Mommy had to put the crate in the livingroom next to the couch, turn on the TV, and lay on the couch next to me with her squirt bottle so Daddy could sleep. It's a good thing Mommy is a teacher and has the summer off! I finally fell asleep and slept for the rest of the night. Mommy says that I am a wonderful puppy except for my crate problem. I have only had 2 accidents in the house, and Mommy says that it was her fault because she wasn't watching me very carefully. I am getting braver and am starting to play tug-o-war with my brother. He is silly. He growls at me, but I don't care. Mommy says that he is play growling, so it's OK. I think he is starting to love me.

Day Two

OK, going to the vet was not so exciting. I have an infection on my tail, so they shaved a little spot off and now I have a bald spot. They poked me a lot and stuck a great big needle in my neck for the microchip. Then they shoved 4 pills down my throat to help me with a different infection I have in my belly. On the bright side, I got a cookie and lots of attention because I'm so darned cute.

It has taken me one whole day to master the stairs at home. I can go up and down them, although I'm a little slow and when going down, sometimes my back end is faster than my front end. I got some new chewy toys today, and big brother tries to take them. I showed him, though, because I took one of his toys today. It must not be one of his favorites because he didn't try to steal it back from me. We are going to be great pals!
