Bad girl...

So mom and dad went out fur dinner the other night. I know when mom left I wasnt too happy about it, but I let it go.

Anyway, mom came home with a a bag. I know bags mean good stuff is inside.

So...last night mom ate what was in the bag. It smelled REALLY GOOD. She didn't finish it and left what was left on the plate on the coffee table. I didn't touch it, because we were cuddling on the couch all night, and then dad came home, and then, well, all of a sudden it was time for bed.

So, she probably figured I forgot about the plate on the table. I'm sure SHE forgot about it, because it was still there this morning, with the italian sausage, and snow peas, and cheezy sauce....I smelled it. All the way from the bedroom. And it still smelled GOOD.

So, when dad was in the shower, and mom was filing my food bowl, I ran into the living room (I'm QUICK) and ate it. Ate it FAST. Mom heard my tags jingling against the plate, but she's not as quick as me. She came running in, but the plate was already picked CLEAN. Almost as though she had just taken it out of the noisy-machine and put it on the table (that's what I was goin' for here, pups). But she's still too smart. She knew.

Anyway, she didn't give me too hard a time. She let my body do it for me. Let's just say today was not a very good day for the constitution. Ugh.

Woof! I've been tagged! :)

I've been tagged by Valentino!!

Here are the rules of this dogster game of "tag" in case you've never gotten a chance to play. When you are tagged, you post 7 random facts about yourself, compose a "new DIARY entry" along with the rules and put them in your own DIARY. Then you pick 7 furs (kitties or doggies) to tag but make sure you tell them... a simple p-mail will do fine, or a rosette to tell them, but you must let them know that they have been tagged. Post their names also in your DIARY.

Here goes:

1. I have a wonky left ear.
2. I stretch about 80 times a day.
3. I LOVE to sleep on mom's favorite pillow (and I'm so cute, she usually lets me).
4. I groan when anyone tries to move me from where I'm laying.
5. I get all excited when dad pulls dinner from the big people-food box (the fridge). I dance all around the kitchen, because that's where the GOOD food comes from.
6. I love to lick water off their ankles when my parents get out of the shower.
7. I am awesome at throwing things. Yesterday I hit mom in the head with a chewy--from across the room.


I tried to pick out 'only woofs', like myself. It's not easy, lemme tell ya! Hope I did ok!

So, I tag:

1. Mister Monte A. Sticks
2. Coco
3. Django
4. Harley
5. Sidney
6. Greyde
7. Baci-Blu

Clean bill of health!

So I went to the vet yesterday...and it wasn't so bad! Well, parts were kind of awful...like when they took my temperature...ugh, why can't they do it like mom takes hers? But all in all, it was ok. Mom and dad were very pleased with me--I'm the best dog-at-the-vet ever! Even the vet said so. And, he complimented me over and over--he said how pretty I am, and how healthy I am, and that mom and dad must really take good care of me! I was blushing... Anyway, my lungs sound healthy and my heart sounds great too! The only thing they couldn't do was, um, check my poo. See, I get so embarassed when mom and dad walk me in there with a bag of my poopie in their hands, ugh--it's just not very ladylike. So, I kinda knew we were going there last night and so I didn't make any poop all day. Hey, I have standards to uphold!

Yay!

It's after midnight, so that means it's my one year anniversary of finding my furever home!

I know my parents love me and I'll be their baby furever. I'm a happy happy girl. Plus, mom gave me like 3 beef treats tonight and dad fed me special homemade food again. Yes, indeed--I Am Loved. :)

p.s. And spoiled...heh heh.

This weekend was PAWSOME!

So, I was a little nervous when momma packed up all my stuff and we got in the car. She even took my crate apart (my crate! my special place!) and loaded that in the car. Anyway, we took off in the car late on Thursday. It was already dark and everything! We arrived at Grandma's house, like we've done a bunch of times before, only this time I knew this time was different. I mean, mom has never brought my crate with anywhere.

Anyway, I ran in the house and immediately 1. poked Baci in the belly with my nose (heh heh) and 2. looked around for the cat. I found Bella the cat upstairs, goody goody, but then---she HISSED at me! And showed me her teeth! I almost peed in the corner, but somehow I kept it together. Mom and Grandma were right there and were obviously upset with the silly cat but didn't know what to do. I crouched down in the croner but the cat came CLOSER to me...closer...and then mom stood between us so that I could get away. I ran downstairs away from that nasty mean cat. At that point Grandma decided that the mean cat should stay in the spare bedroom with her box and bed for the weekend. YES!

To be continued later...on making furiends with old dogs, and maybe even new cats? ;)

Woof! It's good to be me!

My dad made me homemade dinner! It was awesome. It was a leftover steak, two leftover burgers and a cut up potato, simmered for hours. I enjoyed it thoroughly!

I keep hearing mom talk about how my grandma is going to watch me this weekend. I have no idea what THAT'S all about. Something about mom and dad going to Virginia for the weekend? Hmmm.. I heard mom talking on the phone earlier about how she thinks me and Baci (her dog) will finally become good friends, since we'll be around eachother so much. I'm not sure about that. I try to get him to play with me whenever I'm over there, but he's old and no fun. Pfft. I guess I'll have to try again. Wish me luck! I'm more interested in getting the cat to accept me. We shall see...

Fun day today!

Mom and dad took me on a long walk...we walked by a house in our town that's for sale. Mom saw it on the screen she likes to sit in front of a lot. I recognized some of the things they were saying...a yard for me...more room...stuff like that. There were some really good sniffs by this house, too!

Then we walked back home and got the car to get something to eat. Mom and dad got sandwiches and we went to the park. I was a bad girl in the park, because this park has lots and lots of squirrels running around, and I tugged and pulled and barked. I think they were embarrassed... At one point I wanted to chase this squirrel so bad I was shaking. Dad had to hold me back. I tried to climb the tree where it was hiding and I would have made it, too. I'm not sure what I would have done with it if I'd gotten it, but I'm sure I'da thunka something. Mom just sighed and said it'll take years for me to learn to be a canine good citizen. *whimper*.

Mom thinks I feel better today!

I got up in the middle of the night and ate ALL my food, even the little bits mom brought over to my special place last night to try to feed me by hand. I guess I must feel better! Yay!

I had an icky poop. :(

I don't remember what I ate, but I'm not feeling so hot. Mom is hoping I feel better tomorrow. Me too.

Mom bought my Halloween costume today!

Mom bought my costume today! I'm going to be a big orange pumpkin! Mom made me try it on (ugh, trying on clothes is such a pain) and both mom and dad (and me, I hate to say) agreed that I looked very cute. I secretly like wearing clothes but I try not to let mom know.

Last year I was a lobster for Halloween, it was just ok. Mom wasn't sure how I'd like wearing clothes, so she just got me a lobster hat and some lobster cuff things for my legs. But this year is going to be PAWSOME! The best part is my costume is puffy and really soft and warm, so if it's cold on Halloween (like it usually is) I'll stay nice and toasty. Fun! The only thing I'm not looking forward to is being tempted by all the candy outside that only I can spot that she's not going to let me eat. :(

Mom says she's going to take a picture of me in my costume later. I have a feeling she'll post it soon!
