Hello from Hot-Lanta

Well pups, spring has sprung and this big ole dog is hot, hot hot!!! Things are goin' alright here pups. Daddy has been home for a while.. um, Mom says 4 months, whatever that is. I just know I have been one well spoiled dog since he has been home. Mom is sad and worried alot though and I can't seem to fix her. Daddy hasn't gotten in his big rig in a long time and Mom works all the time now. Now she cries some too and talks about missing her Mom... I met her once. She was a thin little woman but she skerr-ded me pups cuz she was stern with me. Not like my Daddy who lets me act how ever I want. But it makes me sad that my Mom cries and I can't make her happy.
She cried alot when my fur-sis, Whisper crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year. I don't know really what that is or why she didnt' come back. She was reallll sick, pups and I tried so hard to make her feel better but she just laid there and didn't even recognize me! Then I went out back to go potty cuz I had been with her all night and when I came back pups , she was GONE!!! I could smell where she had been laying but I couldn't figure out where she had gone... I looked and looked but I never found her.
Now Mom has a new kitty she got last fall. He is a boy. She thougbt he was girl when she got him, pups! It was so funny when she realized she had um ...... boy bits ya know? So, her I mean HIS name got changed from Kharma to Khoel! Goofy name if ya ask me but she didn't ask me. If she had I'd have named it 'Drool Bib"!!! *woof!*
Well gotta run pups. Be good.

My fursis Whisper Kitty crossed the Rainbow Bridge

Well pups, it's just such a sad day here today. Mommy is so teary eyed and nothing i do can really help her. One of my kitty sisters passed away this morning. I tried really hard to comfort Whisper yesterday and make her feel better but she just stared at me so I knew something was really really wrong. Whisper always said I had 'dog breath' and would box my nose when I put my face to hers but yesterday she just stared at me. I even nudged her (gently) and nothing. Mommy says she crossed the "Rainbow Bridge". I don't know what that is but Mommy says she isn't suffering anymore and will be a happy healthy kitty again now. So that is good. Now to get Mommy to stop cryin'

Later pups~

Are we there yet?! Are we there yet?! Are we there yet?!

It is almost time for Mommy, Daddy and me to be home in Georgia for a bit.
We have been out on the road for about 6 weeks. I love it but I can tell Mommy and Daddy are very tired and need a break.
When we go home I will get to see my bro Bishop and tell him about all the great people I met and all the great smells I smelled! I'll also be seeing my human brother and sister, Matt and Katie. Matt pretends he doesn't like me so much but when folks aren't lookin' he gives me ice cubes and hotdogs! :0)
Katie likes to let me lay with her on the bed while she watches TV. Mom says she always has been a cuddlebug. Not sure what that is, but I guess it is a good thing??
Anyway, back to my nap. I got THREE double cheeseburgers today so I have a very fullll belly!
Later pups!

Perfectly Pawsome in Pennsylvania (say THAT three times- fast! BOL)

Hello pups! We are in Scranton PA today taking our break at the Pilot station. Daddy has to get up tonight in the dark and drive to Hazelton, PA to pick up a load and then take that to Zansville, OH. by tomorrow at 3 pm.
It has been a rough few days for Daddy and now mommy is sick so I am just laying around napping alot cuz no one wants to play. I tried to make Mommy feel better when she took me out to go potty earlier but I made her dizzy and she cried. I didn't understand at all. I was trying so hard to be a happy, frolicky playful puppy and I made her cry! I gave her kisses later but she didn't really want them. She won't pet me so much right now. That makes me a sad pup. I love getting loved on by Mom and Daddy.
Well back to my puppy dreams snuggled on the bed with Daddy. He says I am a bed hog. I say he needs a bigger bed.

Long time no bark

It has been a while since Mommy and I have updated this page... woof!
I have had a birthday - I am 2 now and am also back in the big rig with Daddy (and Mommy) full time so I am a very happy PupPup!
We have been visiting Dogster occassionally to check up on our friends but Mommy hasn't helped me with this til now.
My brother Bishop and I turned 2 last month... Auntie Chris, Bishop's mom, made us special cakes. Mommy also bought me pigs ears and a raw hide bone and some other yummy stuff. It is all gone now.
I went to the vet before coming back out on the road to update my shots etc.
I only weight 116 lbs. Mommy and Daddy acted upset but the vet said I looked very good... not too thin and not overweight so we should be very pleased. So now mommy calls me a minature St. Bernard.
Well gotta go check on Daddy he is in the bunk snoring. Maybe I should be too!
Mommy added a few new pictures lately so check them out.

Help... I am a confused pup

Okay pups, here is my problem. There is a two legged .... people(?) I think .... I am sure it is not a dog like me or a cat.... but it is small. I can look him straight in the face when he is standing in front of me. I haven't been around a people this small I don't think! If I have, I don't remember it... and I am still trying to figure out what I am supposed to do with it. This small people is my Mommy's grandson... I am not sure what one of those is but it seems to be important to her and it calls her "Grandma Kim" so ... I guess this small people is family(?). I barked at him a lot last night... every time he moved! I thought that was what I should do but Mommy got really mad and put me away from everyone!... for the rest of the evening! I did not see her til she went to bed and she brought this small people in the room with her and he got in the bed with my Mommy! In MY spot.. and I whined and whined til Mommy let me get up there and I wedged myself between him and my Mommy just so he would know who she belonged to.
This morning the small people... his name is Zack, was still asleep when Mommy and I got up and she spent some time with me all by myself before the small people got up. That was awesome, pups! I was better with him today. I only barked when I wanted him to stop following me. He doesnt understand me so Mommy had to tell him to leave me alone. How come Mommy can understand and this small people can't. And if he is Mommy's grandson.... what is he to me pups? *woof*
Well Mommy is not taking me walking tonight AGAIN cuz the little people is here. Me and my brother Bishop haven't been able to play together either cuz Mommy is afraid the small people will get hurt. I am ready for him to go home pups!
Back to my puppy dreams.

Wow.. what's up with Mommy?!

Pups,... Mommy has been taking me for walks every day lately... twice a day. I am lovin' it but I don't like the Gentle Leader AT ALL! But I love for Mommy to take me for walks. I get to smell new smells and really stretch my legs out. I am usually pretty worn out by the time we get back... but so is Mommy...BOL.
I sitll miss Daddy and keep looking for him. I have dragged Mommy to the car over and over trying to get her to put me in and take me to DAddy but she just keeps saying "No, we are not going bye-bye, Bailey" *woof!* why Not? I want my Daddy and my double cheeseburgers!
Mommy says I am eating better now that she is walking me. Sometimes I go for 36 hours without eating when I am being very stubborn with Mommy. But now that I am getting exercised, I get hungry. So I am having a hard time being so stubborn about my kibble. Darn!
Well back to my puppy naps. Mommy is supposed to take me for another walk later so I gotta rest!

Boy it's HOT!

Mommy and I are at home and Daddy is out on the road. Mommy isn't working anymore *yea* so she and I went with Daddy for a few weeks in his big truck. He said I could go if Mommy went too so she could keep control of me when Daddy is backing onto a dock and stuff. I was so excited to go that I got out of the bedroom and ran out the door to the truck and bounded up into the truck without my ramp! Daddy was so surprised but Mommy just laughed. She thought it was funny. I just wanted to make sure that the truck DID NOT leave without me! *whew*
I will be two in a few weeks. Mommy keeps reminding me and telling me that I am supposed to be outta my puppy phase. But I'm not ready for all that.
Mommy has been taking me on walks with the Gentle Leader *grrr . I hate that thing!* and making me heel and behave. Some times I throw temper tantrums and throw myself on the ground and try to rub it off my face. It never works and Mommy just sternly makes me get back up and be good again. *sigh* She says Daddy has spoiled me waaay too ,much. I don't think that is possible but she thinks so.
Well back to my puppy naps.
Bark at ya later!

Hello again

I travelled for a long time with Daddy in his big rig but now I am home with Mommy. Daddy found out he is not supposed to have a dog over 35 lbs in his truck according to his company's rules... and I am a BIT bigger than that! So I am now at home. I don't like it so much cuz Mommy works and has to leave me at home alone during the day. I miss her lots when she leaves me and sometimes throw temper tantrums.
I will be two in June and Mommy says I am not nearly as big a St. Bernard as she thought I would be. I am only about 135 lbs but the vet says I am healthy so not to worry. I still have LOTS of puppy energy but a lot of people that Mommy and Daddy have talked to say that when I reach about two I will slow down a lot. We'll see, huh? I still think I am a puppy and I act like one... 98% of the time!!!
It is startiog to warm up here in the South and I am starting to pant more. Mommy needs to get the fans out, cuz I already think it's too hot!
Well Mommy has to take me potty again so I gotta go.
