My Birthday soooooon

Well now that summer is over and I know this because somebody emptied my pool and put it away. Hmmmph. I miss my pool. Mom said she was done with all the sand I bring in. You see, I love to go to my pool and drop my tennis ball in it, then I bob for tennis balls. As soon as I have it, I run as fast as I can to the sandbox. Ahhh your getting the picture now. Then I run into the house and when Mom tries to get the ball, I lift my head up high and throw it on the ground. Splat sand and water everywhere. Then I just look up at her with my big brown eyes and she laughs. Works every time. Then Mom washes the ball off. I don't know why because I have shown her already that I can wash it myself in my water dish.

So I just heard my birthday is coming up soon. I wonder what we are going to do. I hope there are good presents and treats. I can't believe I am 3 already. I wonder how old my sister Ripley is? Just kidding, I figured it out.

Max has been very playful lately, I thing he has a crush on my BFF Bijou. Seems when she comes over for a playdate she likes to follow him around. We all know how much he loves to be worshipped. I can barely get Bijou to play with me. But the upside is Max seems to want to play with me more. So I guess it was a win win sort of . He won't let me drag him around by his ears though. Darn, I do love a fluffy ear.

Bye for now.

My Papa Died

My Papa died on June 17, 2009. Mom said he did not suffer and was never in any pain. I was just starting to win him over. The last time he was here I jumped up in his lap and kissed him. He tried to act all tough and grumbly saying no, but I could see he had a sparkle in his eye and a smirk on his face. I was just getting to know him better.

Dad was in the hospital for 1 week cause he got sick too. He came home and is feeling way better. It has been a very rough time for all of us. But Mom says we are tough and we will be fine. Auntie Jodi came over every day while Mom went to see Dad. Mom drove for 5 hours every day to see Dad so Auntie Jodi would come over and play with us and feed us. She rocks. She is so sweet to us that Maxy just lights up when she comes in to the room. Everyone should have and Auntie Jodi

I heard through the grapevine I have to go to the doctor and I heard something about my shots!!! YIKES. I will be brave, I will be brave. Maybe Mom will take me for icecream if I am good. I love the DQ. Me and Max share a bowl of icecream and we eat off of spoons, just like grown ups.

I will let you all know how my appointment goes. Wish me luck.

Are you sure not everyone likes a wet tennis ball?

I just don't understand, when me and Mom go out to play ball she always washes the sand off my ball when we come in. Sooooo I thought to myself, hmmmm I have my own water why don't I just save Mom the time and wash my own ball. And you know I needed a place for it to dry and it fits perfect in Mom's runner. Problem solved. Apparently not! Mom does not seem to enjoy a wet shoe to go to work in, go figure. Ok so I drip a little water on the floor. The floor could use a washing anyway. Max looks so disgusted when I wash my ball in our water dish, I just don't get it. I think I am very clever, and I LOVE a wet ball.

Did you also know that digging holes in the yard is not an acceptable activity. Wow who would have thought there would be sooooo many rules to follow. I do catch Mom snickering at me sometimes but she stops as soon as I see her. I know she thinks I am cute and she loves me no matter what. I guess I need to try harder to be a good girl. Na ahhhh.

Christmas came again!

So do you remember last year and I told you about this thing called Christmas where you get presents and treats. IT CAME AGAIN. I could not believe it when Dad brought a tree in the house, I knew it was something special cause Dad seemed very proud of it, but Mom looked a little miffed. Something about not enough branches, and someone named Charlie Brown. Anyway before long there were presents under the tree with my name on them. How exciting.

Poor Max was not himself this Christmas, he had a Vet visit just before Christmas and he was not at all joly. He did perk up when he saw the cool gifts we got and Mom and Dad took off his funnel hat.

And can we talk about the SNOW, I had a blast. So much snow you couldn't see me and Mom was home for a couple weeks so I got to go out a play. I do love the beautiful snow. Sad to see it is turning to water, but I do love water too!!!

Birthdays Rock

Today when I woke up, my Mom gave me a cuddle and wished me a Happy Birthday, then my Dad woke up and he picked me up and gave me a hug and wished me a Happy Birthday. Then my Mom called my Auntie Gayle and Auntie Mickey to set up a play date with Baby Bijou. The whole day was great, I got extra treats even. Then when Mom and Dad got home they brought me a new toy, I have no idea what a Birthday is but I sure hope I have another next week!!!!!

When I was at Baby Bijou's house I taught her to jump up high into a really great sand box with really soft sand. Auntie Gayle grows her tomatos in there but that's ok we don't mind. I have to hand it to Baby Bijou she is tiny but with some encouragement from moi she can do almost anything I can do. You should have seen Auntie Gayle's face when she saw how good a jumper Baby Bijou is. She came running outside and was jumping up and down waiving a towel, hooting and hollering. It was great!

What do you mean it's too cold!!

I am very sad. My Mom emptied my pool and put it away, she says it is getting too cold for me to be in the water. I really miss it a lot. Maybe she will fill the indoor pool for me and I can play in there. Hmmmm I will have to work on that. Maxy has been having really bad allergies, he is sneezing, licking and his eyes are really yucky. Mom is giving him medicine and he already looks better today. I don't know what allergies is but I hope I don't catch them, I have such pretty eyes, and I really don't enjoy the whole licking thing.

Mom is off for a few days so it will be nice to spend some time with her. Maybe she will pick up Bijou one day and we can have a play date. I bet Bijou would love that too.

What? I smell!!

I heard Mom and Dad talking the other night and they said they thought they could smell something funny on me, YIKES supermodels shouldn't stink. Mom took me to the doctor today and she said Mom and Dad were right, I did have a funny smell. Oh my gosh how humiliating. So the doctor stuck a thingy in my ear (and again with the tooshie) and went to look at it and guess what! I have geese in my ears! She said geasts and bacteria! YUCK. So now Mom is cleaning my ears with medicine and I should be just fine. I wonder if the geese come out would it be ok to chase them? Hmmmm.

Maxy is a much happier guy now that the doctor pulled out one of his teeth, and cleaned them all up nice. Mmmmmm his breath is spectacular. I love to kiss Max, he has such a nice muzzle.

My Summer by Miss Lily

Well, this has been a fantabulous summer. I have had my pool out every day and can go in whenever I want. My sandbox is also wonderful and I love to play in it. Mom and Dad put on the sprinklers and by cracky they are fun too.

Dad took me to the river for a swim and I tried real hard but got a little scared of the deep water, but Maxy was amazing. He is such a good swimmer, I would never have guessed it. He just jumped in with Dad and had sooooo much fun. I will try again soon but Dad thinks maybe the lake would be more my speed.

Yesterday I got stung by a bee. Geez did it hurt. Mom tried to put ice on it and it helped for a while and then it would start hurting again. I HATE BEES!!!! I can not believe Max got into a nest and lived to tell about it. Just one sting was enough for me.

Max has to go to the doctor on Wednesday for his teeth to be cleaned and he has a lumpy bumpy that Mom wants checked out. Max does not like the doctor but I do. Mom always seem so happy when I am nice to the doctor and give both of them kisses. I am going to baby Bijou's house for the day while Max is at the doctor, and I just love to play with her. Bijou is my cousin and we play and play and play, then we sleep. It's great.

Ouch, that hurt

On Saturday Mom and I went to see my doctor, she was really nice and just loved me. No surprising it seems I am loveable. I had to have 3 needles and a cold thermometer in my hoosit. My vet gave me kisses and I kissed her back, she seemed to enjoy all the kisses. She said I was very healthy and almost perfect, wait did she say almost? Some people don't know perfect from shinola. I was fine until that night and then I just felt bad, I was shaking and very quiet. My Mom warmed up a blanket in the dryer and wrapped me in it and I felt way better. She sure knows what to do to make me happy. I felt much better the next day because baby Bijou came over to play, she is my best girlfriend and also my cousin, I love her soooooo much. She is like playing with a living Teddy Bear and she lets me drag her around by her ears, what a hoot.

I love water

So the other day Dad emptied my pool and did not refill it. I was very sad, then Mom brought me in the house and wanted to wash my feet. Ok, I'm game. So then Mom let me play in the big inside pool, they call it a tub. I had toys and everything, what fun. Mom decided I was done and took me out and dried my little feet and pulled the plug, so that YIKES the water would go away. So when Mom wasn't looking I snuck down the hall and jumped back in the tub and pushed the plug back down, phewww saved the water. Mom called me a stinker. Not sure why Max doesn't think this is fun, but he does think that chasing me and nipping at my bum is a good time! Boys!
