Mommy

I haven't written in forever. A lot of stuff has happened...

In February, my mommy broke her ankle. One minute I was outside, and I then I saw mommy on the tile floor. I ran inside to lick her face because I was sure that my kisses would heal her. Anyways daddy came home and took mommy out. She was making a weird face and saying owwww!!! When she came back, she had a big splint on her leg. I was told not to jump up on her because she was using big sticks to get around and she might fall over. That night I curled up right next to her and growled at Jax because he's such a big klutz; I knew that he would step on mommy's sore ankle with his big pudge paws.

For the next five weeks, mommy stayed home all day with us. I got to sleep in her lap day and night. It was awesome!!! The only bad thing was she couldn't get us any treats, but that was O.K. because we had mommy home! But mommy was sad sometimes because she said she couldn't walk us or get us our treats.

Then she got this cool thing with wheels and she would zoom around the house, but that meant she would be going back to work. So that was sad. But now mommy is back up on her feet. She walks funny, but it makes me so happy because she can come outside with us and she can get us treats. I miss her taking us for walks, but she says that we are both too big and Jax would pull her right over. And considering that we knocked daddy down twice on a walk, I guess she is right!!

The bad thing is that I stopped sleeping in the bed during the night. I got used to sleeping by mommy when she was in the recliner and now I just don't like Jax touching me or hitting me with his big pudge paws in the middle of the night. Mommy moved a pillow into the bedroom so now I can sleep near them and when daddy leaves for work, I get to steal his place.

Mommy says pretty soon she'll be ready to go for walks again. I sure hope so because I miss them so much. Daddy takes us sometimes, but he gets up too early most of the time.

That's all for now! Woof Woof!

The Big Bed

Well the black dog finally did it, he made it into the big bed, much to my protests. I had a good thing going being the only one in the bed with mommy and daddy. There was so much room....now that big lug takes up a lot of space. I have to sleep in my Blanca ball, but when Jax touches me, I like to give him a little growl just to show that I'm still the #1 dog.

On a side note, I got to go see Santa Paws for the first time on Saturday. I had my picture taken and everything. I was such a good girl, I almost let Santa touch me on the nose. I can't wait for Christmas, I always get lots of toys and treats. I think I have been especially good this year, so I'm hoping for a new fluffy pillow, some soft toys, and chew bones.

I Graduated Advanced Class

I graduated from Advanced Class!!! I was very determined to do everything right the first time. My mommy took me through all the stuff and I passed with flying colors. Lubo kept getting up during stay, not me, I held stay until Mommy returned. I did wait and come. I did separation anxiety, stand and wait for grooming, sit and wait for a pet from a stranger (scary, but I did let the strange lady pet me under the chin) and walk past dogs w/o lunging, barking, or growling. Mommy and Daddy said I was awesome.

As for Jax, he graduated, but he still can't walk past dogs without getting all mad and growly. I don't know what his problem is. He does it on walks too. Mommy is getting so frustrated and she hurt her hip trying to keep him in the stay and leave it command.

I'm hoping I can go to the class where we learn how to ride skateboards. How cool would that be at my age?

Anyways, I'm loving my naps and chasing the birds. Sometimes I even like playing with Jax, especially when I chase him. I actually gave him a body check and he landed on his bad hip. I felt bad because he was limping, but he was able to walk it off. Mommy says I have to be careful because his hip is not as strong as the other one.

Peace Out for now
