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.

Snow

I barked yesterday that we might get snow. Well, we did get a pretty good dump of snow. It wasn't as bad as it could have been but it was significant. This morning I was outside with snow over my belly trying to potty. It was wet, heavy snow too that stuck to my hair in snow balls. Mommy went out and shoveled for me after I complained. I don't have a lot of paths like my pal Zoe has because my yard is very small. I have one clearing and one path leading to the gate. The clearing is called "Affie Park" and the path is "Jelly Lane". I am very happy although I told Mommy she should shovel along the fence at the end of Jelly Lane and call it Teddy Crescent. This is in honour of my doggy Mommy "Teddy" who recently went to the Rainbow Bridge.

I did enjoy sitting inside watching Mommy shovel. Mommy then went to shovel the front. We have a snow clearing guy that we could phone but Mommy decided she would try doing it herself because it "didn't look so bad". Well, she got about half way through and she was regretting that she didn't call the Snow Guy. Then she gets stubborn like a terrier and won't give up. She said there was no point in calling the Snow Guy when the job is half done. So she shoveled and shoveled. Finally she was done. She isn't saying much but I think she regrets not calling the Snow Guy. BOL!

Long Weekend

I am so happy because this is a long weekend. :) Tomorrow is Family Day in Ontario. This means that Mommy is home for three whole days. We are having a real nice long weekend. It was beautiful yesterday but it started to snow today. Depending on what weather report you listen to we are suppose to get quite a bit of snow by tomorrow night. That is okay, me and Mommy are safe and sound in our house. The most important thing is we have lots of yummies.

Congratulations Banana Joe!

The cute little affenpinscher called Banana Joe won Best in Show at Westminister. Congratulations Banana Joe! Do you think Banana Joe got some presents? Hopefully he got to sleep in the big bed with his favourite peepole.

Westminister Dog Show

Have you pups been watching the Westminister Dog Show? It is exciting! Last night the affenpinscher called Banana Joe won the breed and first in the Toy group. I will be cheering for Banana Joe to win Best in Show! Go Banana Joe,go!!!

NotMe

That bad pup called "NotMe" has started to visit me at the kennel! I will explain it. When Mommy picked me up today at the kennel the Kennel Lady told Mommy that I am very easy to care for. She said the only thing that I do is I sometimes potty inside when it is real cold. Mommy explained our system of letting me out 2 or 3 times with breaks in between to warm up my paws. The Kennel Lady said she doesn't do that but just lets me out. Now I have to explain something else. When it gets this cold it is "NotMe" that comes and does his potty in my indoor kennel run. I think "NotMe" visits a few of the pups in the cold weather at the kennel. Us pups are upset enough when we are at the kennel and we don't needed the added stress of NotMe getting us into trouble. How can I stop "NotMe" from visiting me at the kennel?

Mommy got home

Mommy made it home today and very importantly I made it home too. I am glad Mommy had to suffer a bit. If she stayed home and didn't put me in the kennel then she wouldn't have got stuck in that snow storm. She checked out of her hotel in Ottawa at 3 am this morning and got into Thunder Bay (3 planes later) at 3:30 pm. That was 12.5 hours of traveling for Mommy. Everything was slow, slow, slow! Now I have the whole evening and all day Sunday for ME!

Stranded!

Or at least my Mommy is stranded. They are having a big storm around Toronto and Ottawa so Mommy's plane got cancelled so she is stranded in Ottawa. She hopes to leave tomorrow but has to take a "Milk Run". She flys from Ottawa, to Montreal, to Toronto and finally to Thunder Bay. I hope she gets home soon because I want out of this kennel!

Back at the Kennel

I am back at the kennel AGAIN! Mommy took me there on Tuesday. Normally I come running when Mommy asks me if I want to go with her. On Tuesday I didn't come running. It has just been too much kennel lately. Finally I went to Mommy. All the way to the kennel I just sat in my car seat and gave Mommy the "evil eye". Mommy was really feeling guilty. I was saying, "I just can't believe that you are doing this to me again." Mommy comes home on Friday but can't pick me up until Saturday. She says that now I should be able to be at home for almost 3 weeks. That is almost 3 weeks unless something comes up to take her out of town again. (*Jelly walks away shaking her head*)

New Toy

Mommy said she had to do some shopping today. She said we didn't need much groceries since she has to work out of town AGAIN this week. More details will follow on this out of town stuff. Anyways she said we needed to stock up on household items since we seemed to be running out of lots of stuff. It sounded boring to me. When Mommy got home she started to pull real boring things out of the bags ....... toilet paper, batteries, dryer sheets, swiffer thingies and the list goes on and on. Then she pulled out something that squeeked! What is that? Let me see? It was a new loofa dog!!! Mommy said she thought I would really like this one because it is really soft, easy to squeek (my mouth fits around it easily) and the squeek is real loud. It is a tiger marked loofa. I love it, I love it! I played and played with my new loofa dog. Mommy also bought me some new kibble. Yummy! So, it wasn't all boring after all.
