The Scoop on Scottie

Da Beach!

Hiya Pups, managed to catch my elusive mom between trips and charmed her into uploading some pics and writing a diary entry for me.

Hmmm...not a lot of excitement to report. We did take a three day trip to the Delaware Seashore this April and had a blast (pics posted in my photo album)! Each day we went out to the Delaware State Park and I got to run for miles and miles and play in the surf. There was no one else around so we totally owned all of that glorious space! We had some pretty chilly weather but that didn't stop us, no sireeee!

We're gearing up to go again this weekend. This time it will be a five day trip. Woohoo! I can't wait.

Stay tuned for more beach pics upon our return!

Dogs and Cats

A Cat's Diary

Day 183 of my captivity.

My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal.
The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.
Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded. Maybe I should try this at the top of the stairs.
In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair. I must try this on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little kitty cat I was. This is not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of inducing something called "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches.

The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return.
He is obviously a half-wit.

The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant. He speaks with them regularly, and I am certain he reports my every move. Due
to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured.
But I can wait.

It's only a matter of time.

Birthday Excitement and Photos with Santa Paws

Well, my birthday is fast approaching- it is exactly one week from today and I am getting so excited! I've never had a birthday before and don't really know what to expect. Mom said something about giving me 'presents' and 'treats' ! These are good words so I am pretty sure that I will like them. She also mentioned that she might get me a 'birthday hat'. I don't know what this hat is, I may or may not like it. I hope it turns out to be a new kind of treat...

I am going to spend the day at doggie daycare with my pals--my birthday is on a Friday so mom has to work but at least I'll be entertained all day. I LOVE doggie daycare, it's the best!

Mom needs to look into getting my portraits done again. She thinks she may have missed the xmas portraits at the doggie daycare since the photographer was only going to be there one day...if that's the case, we may have to visit Santa Paws at PetSmart...mom says she hopes it won't be too crowded but I say bring on the crowds! More people to smile at and more doggie butts to sniff as we stand in line to have our pics taken!
