Something is smellin' in the kitchen!

Mom has been torturing us for about the past 2 weeks. She has all of a sudden decided that she can cook and has made things from cute little Christmas cookies to mouthwatering steaks. I did not know my mother was capable of cooking. After these 2 weeks of agony I hope that she doesn't forget about my birthday this Thursday (that's December 20th for any of my pals who would like to leave me a little something). She really hasn't said to much about it which makes me worry a little that she may have forgot. She has made a cake for Chunk and Lola this year, so I had better not get left out on this deal. Come to think of it though, there was a large metal dish that was in the shape of a bone that came in the mail the other day. And there was a bandanna in the package too. It has balloons and streamers all over it and it says something, but I can't read! Well, if she does do anything special for me for my special day I will be sure to have her take pictures and we'll get them here on Dogster lickety split!

XOXO

Be thankful this Thanksgiving season!

I was tagged by a buddy of mine, Jammer G, for the new Thanksgiving tag! Here are the rules: "Because it's Thanksgiving time, there is a change to the rules. Each player needs to tell seven special things they are thankful", so here it goes!

1. I am thankful for my mother. She would do anything and everything in her power to make me a happy and healthy pup.

2. I am thankful for my pup brother and sisters. I'd be pretty lonely in this house sometimes without them.

3. I am thankful for my yummy food that mom buys for me. She says it's expensive, but worth going without fast food if it means good nutrition for me.

4. I am thankful for Dogster, and the fact that there is an online community for all of us dog lovers!

5. I am thankful for my grama. She really helps out when mom isn't around!

6. I am thankful for the fact that my mother cared enough to have me spayed so that I won't have to have any babies.

7. I am thankful for all the simple things in life.

Good news!

Great news! Mom took me to work with her the other day and had Dr. K check out my leg (I'd been limping around the house since about Monday). Anyway, mom has always been really concerned about my hips because of how I walk. Well, Dr. K took my pictures (x-rays) and determined that my hips are great! What a relief! He really couldn't find much of anything wrong on the x-ray and came to the conclusion that most likely I am just having 'growth pains'. I wish mom would remember the name that he called it. Anyway, it's not uncommon in large breed dogs and it usually goes away by the age of 2. Mom is soooo happy! She was really worried about me (that's because she's such a good mom!).

House sitting rocks my socks (or it would if I wore socks)!

Mom and I are watching some people's house from yesterday through Wednesday! Their house is pretty cool! They live in a little more secluded area than what we do and it's so nice and quiet! We have been taking walks through the woods with Gracie, the people's dog, and it's so much fun! Mom was worried that I might be the usual scaredy-cat that I am, but I have really just kind of fit in at our friends' house! It's nice to get away from the craziness of home sometimes. Especially since there's a new pup in the house!

Her name is Lola, like my bullmastiff sister, only she is an English bulldog. She is cute and all, but I really have no use for her! I am sick of other pups moving in on my turf, but mom is making me mind my manners. She says I have to be nice to the new Lola. Well, we'll just see!

Today is Lola's, my bullmastiff sister, birthday! She turned 1 today! So if you happen to look at her page, send her some birthday wishes! Mom baked a yummy banana cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting! I'm taking a couple pieces over to Gracie and Shasta, the dogs we're sitting this week, so they can taste the banana-ee goodness too! Well, I'm off!

I went to the bank today!

Today mom took me to run errands with her and when we got to the bank, the girl working the drive thru couldn't get over how cute I was. I do have to admit I did look good today. My ears were sitting nice and square and I had that 'je ne sais pas' look about me. Anyway, the girl at the drive thru sent me 2 cookies with mom's receipt. Wow! I want to start going to the bank more often. How freaking cool is that! 2 cookies!

Until next time!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Today is Valentine's Day! Mom gave us all a 'pup'cake. Mine and Lola's were pink, and Chunk and Shaka's were white. It was so sweet and yummy! We've been snowed in the past couple of days, so I haven't been able to get anything for mom. So I just gave her a great big giant KISS! I love her sooo much! Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends!
Lots of Love!
