Happy Birthday to MEEEEEEE!

Yay for meeeeee! It's my birthday!!!!!! I have had the most awesome-ist pawsome-ist day! First, everybody sang Happy Birthday to me this morning. Then, Daddy let me play ball! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE playing with the ball! Then after dinner, Mom made me a cake! With a candle! And icing! It was so yummy. The best part is that my cousins, Mimi and Maggie, are visiting so they got to be at my party too. My sisters gave me a toy foot that I chewed up real good. Now I'm really tired. I think I'll take my cake-filled belly and go to bed...

Hey Easter Bunny!

When you bring my basket full of nummies, can you bring back the nice weather? Just last week I was sunning myself on Pickle Perch. I was basking in the warmth, watching Mom work in the garden, barking with my buddies down the street. Then I go outside this morning and it's COLD! Helllooooo?! It's April. And I live in Georgia. It's supposed to be warm! I know I shouldn't whine, but I hate the cold!

Mom got a little frustrated with me because I didn't want to go outside to do my business. I finally couldn't wait any longer so I stood in the open door with my front legs on the patio and my back legs inside and I peed. Mom mumbled something about obeying the letter, if not the spirit of the rule that there's no peeing in the house. Whatever. I did my business outside, didn't I? Barely, but still outside.

Can you scratch my ears please?

Poor me. No, seriously. Poor me! I have an ear infection. Mom took me to the vet because I was sneezing non-stop. She thought I had snarfed something up my nose. Turns out, I have another ear infection. The vet cleaned out my ears really good. That part is kinda nice. They put a big q-tip down my ear and wipe out all the goo. Sounds gross, but it felt so good! The q-tip hit my tickle spot and I got a thumper. You know, that thing where your hind legs starts thumping uncontrollably because something feels sooooo good? That almost made me forget about the shot I got, the ear ointment Mom has to put in my ear everyday and the pills I have to take. Almost. I must be getting better at my pathetic face because Mom & Dad let me sleep in bed with them last night. I hope it works again tonight...

Where's the Ball?!

Mom & Dad got me the coolest toy. Ever. I mean it. It's so awesome. It's a big bouncy ball. I think it's for little two-legged people, but it's MINE! ALL MINE!! Mom & Dad throw it in the air and then I run after it. I can bounce on my nose, like twice, before it hits the ground. Then I push it all over the backyard. Up Puppy Pass. Up Mount Dog. Across Poop Valley. It is soooooo much fun! Cosette can't keep up with me - I'm too fast. The only bummer is they only let me play with it for a short time. I get so excited that I start breathing too hard. Then they put it away. Then, I sit in front of the door and wait. And wait. And wait. And, well you get the picture. I'm working on my pathetic face. Nittany is giving me pointers. She turns it on when she's hungry (which is always). I'll have to practice some more, because Mom just shakes her head and laughs as my lame attempts. Oh well.

So bummed...

Today stinks. And for once it's not my fault. I swear. Well, maybe one little fart escaped. OK - four. But I digress. Mom has taken away all of the stuffed toys! Can you believe that?! She was upset because me and Cosette had pulled out all of the stuffing and carried it all over the place again. Mom was muttering about how every day she picks up stuffing and I think she said a bad word. But you HAVE to pull out the stuffing to get to the prize. You know, that thingy that squeaks. What's the point of stuffed toys if you can't tear it apart?! Jeesh. Now all I have to play with are string things, about a dozen balls, some latex toys, kongs, and some other chew toys. Maybe I'll just take a nap instead...
