Going to the Groomers

My mouth seems to be healing pretty well. I now officially hate the vet.

The latest thing I have had to endure is going to the groomers. I immediately started to shake and wimper. Mom and dad told the groomer that my mouth was probably soar from having my teeth pulled recently. So be careful with my mouth.

My new cut looks so-so. I was totally shaved back in August so my hair is still short on my legs. But I look trim and cared for again. Mom loves it.
she says she recognizes me again.

I went to the dentist (vet) yesterday. I had my teeth cleaned. They called my mom while I was still being cleaned to tell me I needed 8 teeth pulled! Only one of the teeth was a 'needed' tooth for eating.

I am sore today. Dad is watching me while mom goes to work. I moan and whine a bit.

Mom feeling like an idiot for not cleaning my teeth regularly.

I Love You Mom

Mom is starting to whisper behind my back to others about me. Something about me looking older and less active. I think she is worried about me.

I want to tell her not to worry about me. I am fine. I am loved. I am a lucky to be a little grey dog in this house.

I rest a little more often. I'm only good for horse play a couple times a day less than usual. I have no complaints. I am loved and adored by you.

Don't get me wrong, I soak up the extra long hugs and lovies I get from you. I can never get enough massages and pats from you. Keep it up! Don't let that end.

But your sad eyes have seen enough in the last year. Please know that I am planning on being here with you for a long long time.

Smile Mom. I love you. I'm not going anywhere.

I Had a Wonderful Christmas

Family was every where. Lots of warm hugs and squeezes from young and old.

We had dinner at Aunt Karen's house. Bunta and Bella (Cousin Autumn's pugs) were there also. We all ate like kings. Then opened some presents. Mom got a new leaf blower. It is noisy like the vacuum cleaner that I attack when mom uses it.

Then everyone drove to Grandma's house for the major gift opening. Grandma's two dachies were there but had to stay in the other room. Treats and party clothes were given to us. Bella got a dress with a big flower on it. Mom laughed and laughed.

I loved Christmas this year.

Christmas With Family

I am going to have the best Xmas ever.

Family is coming from all over and everyone is bringing their dogs and pets.

Yay! Lots of pix will be taken of all of us. It is going to be a blast playing with kids and toys and getting into trouble.

Ouch!

Grandma fell the other day and broke her arm. Just in time for Christmas at her house.

She is in a lot of pain. Mom and I are going to visit her today. Poor Grandma. I took a bath and got cleaned up for our visit.

I will probably cuddle up with her and stare into her ears mostly.

Longer Hair.

Oh, my goodness.

My hair is getting a lot longer. My dad says he is in love with my longer do. Mom agrees to a certain extent but sort of concludes that it is a rough look. Grandma loves loves loves it.

I am spending this week over with dad at his house. I'm so excited! He is the best. He doesn't make me do tricks. But he gives lots of treats!!!!!

Turkey Dinner

Went to Grandma's house today for a turkey dinner.

There was some family their that I didn't know. Uncle Don doesn't like dogs. Me and Grandma's dog's, Dashie and Dachsie, had to wait out in the other room for a while. We got to come out later.

Mom had me sit on her lap and be good. I already am good.

Fighting Cancer This Year and Giving Thanks

This week has been a wonderful week of thanks.

This year Grandpa and Uncle Tony have been fighting cancer. As well as Aunt Mare with breast cancer. I have been an active member of the family cheering them up best I know how.

I bring my toys. I will lay a pile of them at Grandpa's feet before he realizes I want to play. I will sleep with Grandpa too, if that is what he wants to do.

I love my family and everyone that is fighting cancer is winning so far. I wish everyone could have a support team with them.

Dad's House

Poppa came over and picked me up to stay for several nights at his house. I am so excited.

Poppa is remodelling his house. He has new carpets and flooring. It wasn't safe to be at his house for the last couple of months due to torn down walls and debris that I could get into. But now I am getting to go and be with him.

He has windows that are large and come down 6 inches from the floor. He has no less than 10 squirrels that flock to his house because he feeds them. One, who's name is Buster, comes around the most. I nearly caught him yesterday on the porch.

Now I just stare out the windows. Yay!
