Good Friday

Mommy and I had a very quiet Good Friday at home. Mommy yapped on the phone thing for awhile. Can you believe that some peepoles actually phoned her about work stuff on the holiday? She couldn't believe when the first call came in at 9 am. Anyways, it wasn't too bad because Mommy didn't have to go anywhere. Other then that I supervised Mommy doing some house work and we napped, stared at the kindle and ipad thingies and watched TV. In the evening it was exciting because a whole bunch of deer walked behind my house. They walked on my path single file and they were on a mission to get somewhere. We see them every morning and every evening. In the morning they go the other way and in the evening they go back to wherever they came from.

Home

I am very happy to report that I am at home. Mommy made me sit at the kennel all day yesterday and didn't pick me up until almost closing time which on peepole clocks is 5:30 pm. I was starting to get worried. Because it was the long weekend all the crazy pups were coming to the kennel because their peepoles were going away. I was just shaking my head thinking about how busy I would be keeping all these new pups in line. It would be an extra challenge since the kennel would be full too. A Great Dane walked in and was a big sissy and was trembling and scared. I will have to deal with that guy! I was just so happy to see Mommy that I forgot she was late and just went running to her. Have a good weekend pups I said and never looked back! BOL!

When we left the kennel Mommy said she had more work to do. She asked if we should go to her office or go home and go to the office on the weekend. She didn't give me a chance to answer and said we would go to the office right away. I have my own bed in Mommy's office and I just curled up and went to sleep when we got there. Mommy sat at her desk and was type, type, type on the computer thing. At about 9 pm peepole time she finally asked if I wanted to go home. Yes, yes, yes! We hoped in the car and I was finally home for the long, long weekend!

At the Kennel

I am sitting at the kennel right at this very minute. Mommy brought me here on Monday and she got home on Wednesday. She was at a place called London, ON. She keeps telling me about flying to these places but I don't really believe her. I have never seen Mommy fly and I don't think she could do such a thing. Anyways, she got home at 7 pm which was too late to pick me up. Now she has to pick me up today. It is a long weekend so that makes me happy.

Busy Week

My secretary hasn't typed for me in a week. Grrrr.... Lots of things were happening this week. Mommy was working in town this week so I was home all week. It was St. Patrick's Day this week but nothing happened here which made that boring. There was also the first day of spring this week but it doesn't look much like spring here. We have lots of snow still. Mommy even had to shovel snow this week. The only good thing is that the days are getting longer. Now I can look out the window until about 8 pm which is wonderful.

There are lots of deer around here this year. This is our second year in Thunder Bay and we didn't have all those deer last year. The deer seem to like walking on my walking path. I bark at them so I can see their white tails bounce up and down. BOL! Then the most disturbing news of all is that a wolf was spotted during the day near my house. The wolf killed a deer real close to where I live. Since we have so many deer around here Mommy is extra careful when she puts me out. She says that wolf might like to have an affenpinscher appetizer before the main course of deer. :0 Another community is having trouble with a Lynx. The Lynx has killed a number of domestic cats.

New Treats

Mommy went shopping today and I stayed home. I really didn't mind because a pup like me needs her beauty sleep. When Mommy got home she had lots of bags. She did the regular grocery shopping thing and I helped her put the groceries away. I think we are in for some real good yummies this week. Then I saw that she had gone to my doggy store and had bought me a new bag of kibble and some treats. I won't need the new bag of kibble for a couple of weeks but Mommy likes to be prepared especially in the winter. One of the bags of treats was a new treat that I had never had before. Let's try one, let's try one! Mommy read the package to me. She said it is all natural, no preservatives, no colours added etc etc. Boring! Lets get with it and taste them! Tasting is the most important part! Mommy finally opened them up and they are chicken and apple soft treats. Mommy reminded me that they are made from real chicken. Yummy! Finally, I got one of those things in my mouth. I must say they are really good! I asked for a second one and Mommy gave it to me. Yummy again!

Jewellery

I forgot to bark about the beautiful jewellery that my Vet Lady gave to me. It is a pretty blue sun shaped metal piece that hangs from my collar. I think it is very pretty. Mommy says it is just my rabies tag. I say no,no,no! It is a pretty piece of jewellery!

Excitement

Things are usually about the same around here with dogs and peepoles going for a walk on my path. I sometimes see the odd kitty as well. Of course, I have to bark them away. I don't bark if there is just peepoles but I sure bark at any pups. Early this morning I thought I was seeing things. There walking on my path were two deer. Yep, they were just strolling along my path. I just stared at them. I have seen deer before but never at my house. Mommy always said that she is certain there is deer around my place because we back right onto the creek and have lots of bush around us. I guess Mommy was right. I hope I see the deer again because I like them. :)

Vet

Today I went for my yearly vet visit. I think I have the very best vet in the whole world. We got a new lady vet. She walked into the room and started saying nice things to me. This is a good start. She saw that I didn't like standing on the metal exam table. She then jumped up and sat on the table and let me sit in her lap. Now things are getting much better. She did my whole exam with me sitting on her lap. She said lots of nice things to me and I gave her kisses. Then she carried me very carefully to the back to take some blood for my heart worm test and gave me a rabies shot. I didn't feel a thing! After that she gave me some yummy treats. I then got weighed and I weigh exactly what I did last year, 8.8 lbs. Next week I have to go back for my kennel cough nasal spray and a Lyme disease shot. I can't wait to go back and visit with the vet lady! If you pups need a good vet I will share my vet lady with you. She is really nice!

Working Mommy

I haven't barked in awhile because my secretary is too busy working and traveling that she doesn't have time to listen to me or to type for me. Grrrr.... I think I need a new secretary. Anyways she had to go to Toronto for the weekend which she said was work. She left Friday and came home on Sunday. I went to the kennel and supervised all those crazy pups. The kennel lady told Mommy that I love the tread mill. I managed to escape my kennel and I ran down the aisle and jumped on the treadmill waiting for it to start. The kennel lady let me play with the treadmill for awhile. :)

I think my Mommy sometimes tells me she is working when she isn't. She got to fly to Toronto for the weekend. She stayed at a hotel called the Delta Chelsea. I bet my pal Zaidie can confirm that it is a nice hotel. Doesn't sound like work to me! Then she went on Saturday to some event at the Allstream Centre at Exhibition Place. They even supplied a yummy lunch for them. It doesn't sound like work to me either.

Mommy has to work again next weekend. Grrrr........ Weekends are for Jelly and not for work.

Shortest Kennel Visit

I had the shortest visit to the kennel place ever. Mommy said she had to go to a meeting and I would only have to stay at the kennel place for one sleep. This morning Mommy took me to the kennel place and I accepted the fact that I was there for a short visit but I didn't know how short it would be. Mommy had a meeting in town first and then she was going to head out. In the morning she found out that where she was going had terrible road conditions with limited visibility due to the snow. The meeting was cancelled!!! Mommy had dropped me off at the kennel at 9 am and she picked me up at 3 pm. That was a grand total of 6 hours. I acted all happy to see Mommy! I am sure happy to be home this evening instead of with all those yappy pups.

Take a look at this:

These are the kennel lady's dogs and it shows how much they love the treadmill. She says they go on the treadmill on their own and paw at it to try and get it to go.
