Hello World!

Hi! I'm Boogie! I'm only 15 weeks old. My owners haven't had a dog in a while and I'm their first beagle! I don't think they expected me to have all this energy. What can I do? I want to play all the time, every time. I think I wear them out too much, but I make up for it in entertainment value!

My folks got me a nice new Vari-Kennel last week. It's really nice! I've already started chewing on the corners outside. I get lots of sleep in it! I think my owners were happier when they figured out that I'd be happy lazing around in my room for several hours a day. Playing and chewing are hard work!

I'll get my dad to put up a pic of my crate next time. Bye for now!

Boogie! :)

Tummy Trouble :(

This morning I had some tummy trouble. :( My dad walked me and I had to go twice. So my mom and dad took me to see the vet. They checked me (I'm over 10 pounds now!) and my vet, Josephine, said I was okay. Must've been something I ate. She gave me something yummy in a tube for my tummy.

I also got a bath today! Yuck! They're using some special shampoo to clean up something icky that was ruining my fur and making me itch. I still hate it when they clean my ears!

Oh well. My dad and mom put up pics of my neato Vari-Kennel! It's a Pet Cargo 500, and I love it to bits! They also gave me a Nylabone. It's ok, but nothing to get too excited about. I accidentally bit mommy's toe while munching on it! :(

Maybe I'll get something neat again that I can tell you about next time.

Bye for now!

Boogie! :)

I'm sick. :(

It's official, I have puppy runs (my mom and dad use a big word... diarrhea is how it's spelled I think). :(

I'm pooping a lot, and it sorta hurts. My vet checked my poo and says it's nothing serious, and gave me some special food that comes in a can. I miss my puppy kibble, but this isn't bad. My poor mom, dad and aunt have to clean up after me a lot. I know it tires them out after working all day.

I hope I get well soon.

Boogie. :(

Feeling better. :)

My vet called my mom and dad and said I have to take some medicine. I started yesterday and I'm feeling better now. I hope to be all the way healthy soon! The sick puppy food is okay but I like my kibble a lot better.

Mom and dad also got me a couple of new toys! They're green-and-white puppy Kongs! I've only gotten to play with one, and no treat on it yet because of my tummy trouble, but I'm looking forward to it when I get better!

Wags to all,
Boogie! :)

Bounced all the way back!

Yippee, I'm all the way back now. I only go three or four times a day! My vet said it's something I ate, but I don't know what. Oh well.

My dad and aunt took me to the vet yesterday to get my next shot. They also put something on the back of my neck to keep pests away from me. Yuck!

Take care everyone, and stay shiny!

Boogie! :)

My Mom

I love my mom. I'm with her most of the day. She's always reading these big thick books, but she always takes some time to play with me and feed me. I know she's really busy right now.

I heard that next week she gets to take a break. Yippee! I'm looking forward to that. She works too hard, and I know that taking care of me is more work for her. I try to be a good pup for her but sometimes I can't help myself. :( I think I'll try even harder to be a good pup.

I wonder what we can do together when she gets vacation time? Whatever it is, it's gonna be fun and I can't wait! *wag wag wag*

Take care and stay shiny!
Boogie! :)

More on My Mom

My mommy had a tough day today.

I could tell that she was working hard, but she wasn't happy. I think she's too hard on herself.

I wish I could help her. I'm just a little pup. All I can do is wag my tail and lick my mom when she asks for a kiss and be good and be nice and quiet when mommy is working. It's not a lot but what else can a little pup like me do to help my mom? I wish I was smarter. :(

I really hope that everything turns out great for my mom. She takes great care of me. I want to do my best to take good care of her to. At least as well as a little beag like me can do. I love my mom.

Boogie

Mom's on Vacation!!!

Yippee!

Mom made it through her tough week and now we're going to spend her vacation together doing mommy and puppy stuff! Yay!

Boogie! :)

A Trip to the Mall!

I visited the vet with my mom and dad last Sunday. After that, my mom had a great idea - take me to the mall! I didn't know what a "mall" was, but it sounded like an adventure! I like adventures!

The icky part was I had to be stuck in the car for a long time. I don't really like being in the car. I got sorta sick because of all the moving around and I threw up a bit. Mom had to clean me up. She then had a great idea of opening the window. I got to stick my head out and watch the world go by! That was great! Specially when we were moving really fast and a big wind was going by!

Anyway we got to where we were going and it was really cool! There were so many people! Mom and dad stopped at a place called "Starbucks" or something and I got to hang around and greet all the people walking by. So many people! I got fed and watered out of paper cups. That was cool!

After that we walked and walked and walked. So many people! When we got back to the car it was the most tired I've ever been. But the whole adventure was sure worth it!

I can't wait for another trip to the mall!

Boogie! :)

Hot! Hot! Hot!

After my trip to the vet for my shot last Sunday, my family took me for a ride. I'm not crazy about being in the moving box ("car") too long because I get dizzy. But if the window is open, it's fun to stick my head out and feel the breeze! It's boring waiting when the car is stopped for some reason.

Anyway, we end up having lunch at this Chinese place. My mom, dad and aunt I mean. They packed my kibble lunch for me! Yay! They ate outside because the place wouldn't let puppies in (boo!). It was so HOT! It was even hotter for little ol' me because my mom bought me this red jersey (it's red and says "Yao 11" on the back - maybe they mean yowl?) and I wasn't used to wearing it. I was panting really quick! It wasn't fun for my family either so we hightailed it outta there quick. But while we were there we got some pix taken. I like the one where I'm crossing the street with my auntie!

So we got out of there and headed for some place cooler. We ended up at a shady place where my folks could sit around and drink coffee. I enjoyed watching the humans walk by, but the hot place earlier made me tired.

We didn't stay long and headed home. I was so tired and hot that after sticking my head out of the car for a while, I headed in and stuck my head next to the cold wind hole ("airconditioner?) of the car. It felt so good after the hot place. I think I fell asleep in my daddy's arms. I was dog tired!

When we got home, I lapped up a lot of ice cold water and curled up in my crate for a nice long nap.

What a day!

Take care everyone!

Boogie! :)
