My Christmas Present

I got an OWWIE!

Mommy called me a "stupid dog". Daddy said "when is he ever going to learn?" They don't understand that it's my JOB to make sure all the new horses learn that I'm the boss and they have to behave themselves or I'll bite their tails.

Yup. I got kicked. Hard. In the face. Everyone says I'm lucky because I only lost some hair. They don't realize that I lost a lot more than hair - that pesky Cash thinks he's got the better of me now, and I don't like it. Ok, I'll stay next to the barn when he goes in and out (when any of the horses, even my friends, go in and out). But I draw the line at staying away when they're in their turnout pens. Unless Cash comes to the gate and stares at me, that is --- then I run like a scared pup to Mommy. I hate that. Now I'm the baby who's afraid of everything! Wait until I get better, Cash - I'll show you a thing or two - maybe you'll be gone by the time I get better - I hope I hope I hope.

It's My Anniversary!!!

I can't believe a whole year has passed! Mommy went to the airport on Sunday to pick up Daddy, and when they got home the first thing he did is wrestle with me and he hugged me and said "happy anniversary big boy". I feel like I've been here furever - I love my family and my furbrothers and sister Matilda. We went to see Miss Lisa at the shelter and brought a big bag of puppy food for the poor guys who haven't found their furever homes yet, she was happy to see me, too! My picture is up on the wall over her desk and she still forgets and calls me "Lazzie", but then she remembers and calls me Jakey and tells me what a lucky boy I am.

And THEN I got a stuffed squeaky toy from Santa Paws and a PIG EAR from Miss Wendy and BJ! Mommy and Daddy thought I didn't know how to play because I just held my toy and lay down with it and put my head on it and Tucker was throwing his up in the air and running in circles with it, and Cody, Mocha and Matilda were ripping theirs, but I really love my presents and want to hold them, like I hold Mommy and Daddy. . . .

Happy Holidays, everypup!

Daddy? Coming home?

Tucker and Cody told me that Daddy was coming home. I'm so happy - he's such a nice man - he's the one who told mommy that I wasn't going to leave ever ever again. I can follow him around and lay my head in his lap and take naps with him. I can't wait to show him how I learned how to PLAY while he was gone. I missed him!
