I got a haircut!

hi, my name is Rudy, and my two moms are mean. They made me go to the nasty dog groomer and get groomed like a schnauzer. I do not like them anymore and have decided to withhold all affection for the entire afternoon. I have no idea why they would put me through something like that, having to get used to that nasty buzzing instrument called a razor, and geez, getting my ear hair plucked was AWFUL! My two moms at least had the decency to look horrified, even though they said it was for my own good. I'm pretty sure I wasn't bad, so I'm not sure what I did to deserve this. The only condolence was that I got to hang out with other doggies, and get to meet a new person. Then I got a cool puppy bandana to wear around my neck, so I suppose that was okay.

I've been shaking my head and ears a lot since I got home, I think that's normal. Mommy Sarah sure feels bad though. Good. I gave her one kiss to let her know I don't hate her.

At least that's done for another two months! Mommy Sarah will post pics soon of my new 'do!

Love Rudy

I have a visitor!

My two moms have a really really nice girl here, her name is Kerry and she's mommy Sarah's friend from university. She loves and plays with me so much I don't think I'm going to let her leave! My favorite game is "give me my toy", although I had my very first game of fetch the stick, in the backyard a few days ago.

Since mommy is taking Kerry sight seeing a lot, I get to see some great places in Newfoundland! We already went to Signal Hill, Cape Spear, and the Colony of the Avalon, in Ferryland. Soon I will post some action shots that mommy took of me. I even have a smart looking Newfoundland tartan bandana. I got many compliments!

Talk to all you dogs and cats soon!
Rudy

wowee!

The past few days have been great. I even went on a few short walks on the pavement sidewalk! It was very exciting to get all those smells. I hurt myself though, :( when I jumped out of control and banged my neck on a water spout. I think I'm okay now, but my two moms were so worried. I can't help it, I just get so excited! Luckily I am fine, and did not hurt myself too seriously, I just got a fright more than anything.

In two days I go to the vet again. I'm getting needles and I'm nervous. Mommy Sarah wants to know what to do to soothe me through the process!

licks and kisses!
Rudy

I am 9 weeks old today!

hi pals!
Well, being just a baby, my two moms are going easy on me, but you know what, I'm learning anyway! The pee-training is coming along nicely, I even whined to go out this morning, instead of doing it on the floor! The only times I have accidents now are when I'm really excited after playing and mommy Sarah doesn't get me out in time!

Today I feel very smart. Mommy Sarah took me into her office at the university. There are so many books! I'm a little sleepy though, so folklore studies will have to wait.

Keep in touch!
Rudy

Alright! Lots of playing today!

Wow, it sure is fun in the backyard! I may be little, but I have got more than enough spunk to take on anything. I chased some leaves, did my pee, did my poop, and even responded when my owner said "sit". Pretty good for 8 1/2 weeks!

It was very humid today and I am pretty lazy tonight. I did my playing, played with my favorite orange hippo and squirrel toys, and snuggled with Sarah and Debbie. Life is good!
