I just don't know anymore!

My mommy came by a week or so ago...WITH ANOTHER DOG! She had called to ask my grandma if she would "puppy-sit" for awhile, so of course, grandma said okay. It turns out that this "puppy" was a stray that my mommy's boyfriend had found while on his route at work (he's a mail-man) and the dog decided to follow him for a while so the boyfriend decided to take him home. Grandma was just supposed to puppy-sit for a few hours, but it turned out that my mommy made a vet appointment for this new dog (ggrrr) because they decided to keep it (?!?) so mommy stayed with us until it was time to take the new pup in for his examination. They named him Chuck. I ask you, what kind of name is that for a dog?...They named him Chuck...their other dog is named Hank...Chuck and Hank...*sighs* oh well, at least I now get to stay here with my grandma and Bailey all the time...for a while, we thought I might go live with my mommy and her boyfriend, but now that they have two dogs of their own, I get to stay here...YEA! I don't think I'd like living with the other two dogs for very long, I'm very neurotic and protective and jealous (yes, all at the same time) and she was my mommy first! so this is better, besides, who would Bailey have to harrass and play with if I wasn't here? Grandma would have to get another dog just for that alone! Besides, I'd miss my Bailey and my Grandma so much! Now I don't have to go anywhere!

On to another subject, it's 5:16 in the morning and I'M HUNGRY! I sure do wish grandma would change that stupid rule about not feeding us so early! Now, instead of waiting until 7:00, she makes us wait until somewhere around 6:00...that's a little better, but not by much! Maybe if I try and look adorable...whine a little...(can I make my tummy growl from hunger?) we'll get fed a little sooner...it's worth a try...

Somebody scared a skunk in our neighborhood a few weeks ago, early in the morning...at least that's what Grandma said it was...PEE-UUU what a stink! At first, grandma thought that maybe one of us had done it so we had to stand still for inspection while she checked us both over just to make sure and luckily for both Bailey and me, it wasn't either of us that scared the smelly thing - whatever a skunk is, it sure does smell!!! WOW!!!

Well, I'm gonna go beg from grandma for a while cuz we're both HUNGRY!!!

woofs & licks to you all later!

FOR ONCE, IT'S NOT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOL!!! Bailey got caught, finally, doing something she shouldn't! BOL!!! Grandma put up her holiday decorations earlier this month, including the christmas tree (pretty). When she was trying to figure out whether or not she wanted to put her usual ornaments on the tree, she left it bare for a few days while she thought about it. Then, she finally decided to put silk poinsettia bunches on the tree instead of the usual ornaments, something different, I know, but it sure looks nice! Anyway, grandma had her niece over one afternoon to help decorate the tree, and by the time they were done, it looked really nice, grandma was very pleased with it! I didn't think anything of it, I mean, c'mon, it's a tree! A few nights later, Bailey decides that some of the poinsettia bunches are in the wrong place so after everyone had gone to bed, she decided to pull a few of the ones she could reach out and while she was at it chewed on them a little (now who's the dumb dog!?!), but then, instead of putting them where she thought they should go, she just left them on the living room floor. BOY, WAS GRANDMA TICKED OFF when she came down the next morning! She's even gone so far as to do it a few more times since then! Finally, I'm not the only dog in the house who finds their way to the doghouse! Well, last night, grandma (finally) thought to remove the bunches that Bailey could reach for the night when she went to bed so that she wouldn't come down to a mess in the morning. Don't know why it took her so long to figure that one out, I mean, if you leave something within reach that's a temptation, it's kinda your own fault when it goes missing or breaks, isn't it? BOL! Anyways, grandma came down stairs a little while ago and was very happy to see the tree and decorations still intact, so Bailey's no longer in the doghouse, at least for now!

Now, if we could just get grandma to feed us a little earlier than 7:00, everything would be great! I'm so hungry!!! Maybe if we bug her together, she'll feed us a little earlier? Worth a shot, will let every one know how it works out!

WOOFS TO YA LATER!

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

Grandma changed my picture this morning for my profile - said she was getting tired of the old one (humph!) so she found this one of me licking my nose! I don't know if I should be embarrassed or ticked off cuz I look silly! Of all the pictures she and my mommy have of me, why did she have to pick this one?!?

Nothing much has been happening around here lately, Bailey & I continue to terrorize each other daily and we're still tearing up the back yard chasing each other and whatever else happens to be out there! Especially very early in the morning, when it's dark out and every body in the neighborhood is sleeping...that's when it's the best...I don't know what we're chasing and barking at, but we sure do make alot of noise!!! That is, until grandma comes out and yells quietly at us to get our butts back in the house...sometimes we don't listen right away so she tricks us, asking if we want to eat! I mean, what kind of dumb question is that? Of course we want to eat, we're dogs! So we go inside, then she wipes our paws (when they're wet and muddy), then she makes us wait until 7:00 anyway to eat! (That's when we're supposed to be fed - part of our morning routine), It really ticks me off sometimes, so much that I just have to bug her by sitting right next to her and staring up at her until I think she's going to give in, but she never does, just reaches down and pats my head and tells me I'm a good boy and all that other stuff that I like to hear, EXCEPT WHEN I'M HUNGRY!!!

Hey, gotta go now, food just hit my dish! YAY!!!!!

WOOFS LATER! XOXOXO EDDIE

I JUST DON'T KNOW ANY MORE!!!

Okay, so over the summer...this "friend" of my moms FINALLY moved out, then the last roommate we had here left in July. That's fine. Then, come August, my grandma starts moving someone else in! Turns out it's the dad of my mommy, grandma's first ex-husband. I know, wierd! But they all seem to get along just fine now, he has his space and every one else has theirs so thats okay...a little confusing (okay, a lot!) but grandma says we need help with the bills so it's okay. They seem to be friends again...my mommy is still trying to get used to the idea...for that matter, so am I! I just get so nervous sometimes that I have to leave "little dirt bombs" by the front door for him, kinda like I do sometimes for my mommy when she's not here enough! Anyways, mommy came home yesterday morning wanting to go to lunch with her parents, it took a while to convince her dad that he wanted to go, but they finally did. It's nice to see them spend some "family time" together, even if it is really wierd for them. After lunch, they all came home and grandma left again to go visit someone. My mommy actually stayed here for a long time (YEA!) and watched football with her dad. They seemed to have a nice time together...Anyways, to make a long, boring story shorter, by the time my grandma went to bed - she had to go to bed early as she was falling asleep on the couch at 8:30, my mommy decided to lay down on the couch and get comfy. I thought she would stay the night and I would wake up so happy, but she didn't...*sighs* oh well.

Grandma has to go to work this morning, but it's only for and hour and a half a day for the next ten work days (I don't get it!), but at least it's something!

woofs to you all later!

I just can't stand it!!!

My mommy came over last night with her boyfriend Randy - he's very nice - but the thing of it is, when she walked in the door, she grabbed my collar and locked me up on my leash. Grandma has it attached to the couch - she locked up Bailey too. We couldn't figure out why until Randy came in with this armful of fur and handed it to grandma. Turned out to be another dog! Grandma started to cuddle with it! Well, I just had to go inspect this new creature - they call him Hank, what kind of name is that? (no offense to any other Hanks out there). He's got a wrinkle face and big paws and he's brown and soft and smells funny and Bailey sniffed him out for a minute or so, then it was like she didn't care that there was another dog in our house and that my mommy had brought him in.....I just can't stand it! Am I being replaced? Grandma says not, but they only stayed for a few minutes, then they all left and my mommy didn't spend hardly any time with me except to pull me back off the puppy...

I was so upset that it took me an hour to calm down, I kept hoping that my mommy would come back and spend some time with me but she didn't....I kept looking for her but she didn't show up...even the laser light that Bailey and I like to play with so much didn't distract me from looking for my mommy....*sigh*

gonna go pout now...

woofs later

Grandma's right!

I really am a stoopid dog. Last night Bailey and I went outside in the rain to romp and play. There's a bench in our back yard that goes on an angle from the corner of the house to our neighbor's fence (hi grizzly!) that Bailey and I both like to jump over. Well, last night, I jumped over it to talk to grizzly and I forgot how to jump back! Bailey was with me when grandma had to come outside to get us and Bailey managed to get over it to her and go back inside, but I forgot how! Grandma sent my mommy outside to get me and she had to pick me up over the bench and carry me into the house. How humiliating! Any ways, after mommy got me all cleaned up from the mud, I got to cuddle with her (yea!) which is my most favorite thing to do anyway. To make a ridiculous story short, this morning, Bailey and I were outside again (5:30am) romping and sniffing and we decided to hop over the bench again. Well, much to my embarassment, I forgot how to jump over the bench this morning too! Bailey did it, why couldn't I? Grandma finally had to come outside and ask if I was hungry, did I want some food? Being the bottomless pit of hunger that I am, of course I wanted food but I still couldn't get over the bench! Finally, after asking me 5 or 6 times, I managed to get over it to grandma and come inside. Then, she made us wait until it was breakfast time (usually between 7 & 7:30), so I was really hungry by then. I don't think I will be jumping over that dumb bench again anytime soon, but we'll have to see! I just hope my mommy is here to rescue me cuz grandma will make me work for it and it's much nicer to be carried.

Last night...

my mommy came home to see me...YEA!!!, or so I thought. She SMELLED LIKE OTHER DOGS !(is she cheating on me?). She didn't stay very long, but she did play with me and even gave me a cookie..yum...mommy cuddled with me too so I gave her some smiles...she seems to like that, I don't know why, but there ya go! I guess I can forgive her for smelling like a bunch of other dogs, even though it does make my nose go haywire! But she left so soon...(sniffle), then I got sad so I went and cuddled with grandma, eventually falling asleep on her hip (my favorite spot). Later, when I woke up and remembered how short a time I had with my mommy, I went and pooped on the floor by where she leaves...that ought to teach her! HUMPH! see, the trick is to only do that when she's been here so she knows I'm mad at her for leaving me so soon...I know grandma doesn't like it, but I have to express myself somehow! geez...

Somebody lit a bunch of fireworks off too, last night, they scare me soooo much I have to go and hide under the couch...it's a tight fit, but I don't care, they are so noisy!!! Why do people do that?

Well, it's morning now and I'm gonna go play with Bailey, she's always nipping at me to play, so this time, I think I'll get her first! Since it's not time to eat breakfast yet, (GRUMBLE!), I guess playing with Bailey is the next best thing!!!

woof to ya later!
