The Christmas Tree!

Last night Mom and Dad put up this thing called a Christmas tree. I tell ya, it was pretty doggone weird. It's literally a TREE... in our living room! I sniffed it a little and chewed on the end of one branch, but it doesn't taste like the trees outside. Tastes more like my Kong, really. Anyway, Mom didn't like that I chewed on it, cuz she did that loud clap that tells me I'm not supposed to chew that.

BUT...

My best friend, Oscar J. Cat, had the best time with the tree. He tried to climb it a bunch of times, but Mom didn't like that either. She kept getting the spray bottle out. I don't know why Oscar doesn't like the spray bottle. I think it's awesome, but he's got this thing about water. Sometimes cats are strange.

Me and Oscar just laid in the floor and looked at the lights. I've never seen a tree with lights before. It was pretty cool.

I can't wait to see what else they bring out. I like new stuff to chew! :D

I broke out!

My mom makes me stay in the kitchen while she and Dad go to work during the day. They keep me in with a baby gate across the door. WELL...... yesterday, I figured out that I'm strong enough to pull that sucker out of the door if I want to!

SWEET FREEDOM!

I ran all over the house and invaded the other room where the Ladies sleep during the day. It was fabulous! I ate their special food that I never get to eat (they have allergies ya know) and I LOVED IT! I tried to get into the room where Oscar J. Cat hangs out during the day but the door was shut. Dagnabbit! I was hoping for a turn at the kitty litter buffet. Well, I guess you can't have everything.

Mom made sure that the gate was really secure this morning before she left for work... stay tuned, y'all! I'll let you know about my adventures today! :D

Christmas is pretty exciting!

Yesterday morning, my people started getting really excited about some guy named Santa who'd come. I didn't hear anybody come in, but hey, he left me presents!

There was this big sock hanging by the fireplace and it had presents for me, Gracie, Rosie and Oscar J. Cat. I got a new baby! It's one of those really long rabbit thingies from Petco, but I call it a baby. It was my favorite! My Aunt Belinda got me a new coat too, but I really didn't feel like trying it on. I'm not big on clothes much... except to chew on. :D

Rosie and Gracie got dresses and some special treats. Oscar J. Cat got a new scratching thingamagig and a new mouse that smelled funny to me. He liked it though.

Mom made us all special Christmas dinners that were FAB-U-LOUS! I inhaled mine.

Last night I slept with my new baby and had good dreams.

I think I like this Christmas thing.

I'm getting bigger!

Mom took me to the vet on Monday for those nasty shots! BLECH! I was really brave and didn't cry at all, but my scruff was sore for the rest of the day. At least they give me treats when those shots are over.

BUT the really cool thing is that I'm BIGGER! I'm 12.8 pounds! That's a whole 3 pounds bigger than I was just four weeks ago! My vet is really happy with me. I'm eating good and growing just like I'm supposed to.

After my vet trip, Mom took me to our kid's daycare to pick her up and I got to go in too! All the kids were really excited to see me and I was excited too. I liked lots of faces and nibbled lots of earlobes. Everyone giggled and had a great time.

After we got home I took a long nap cuz that's a busy day for a (not so) little (anymore) dog! :D

I don't like storms!

When we woke up this morning it felt weird outside. The wind was making strange noises and smelled funny. Rosie and Gracie didn't even sniff the grass this morning. They went straight inside the doghouse and stayed there.

Then all the sudden the sky started to flash and make noise and the rain just poured. I crowded into the doghouse with Rosie and Gracie and waited for mom to let us in.

When we got inside we were soaked to the skin. Mom toweled us off and it felt SOOOO good! Then we all got special breakfast and I got my special treats for being a good girl.

Whenever the sky made that noise, we all got really scared and huddled together on the bed.

Mom left the radio on for us to listen to today while she's at work. I hope this doesn't last very long.

Sunshine Naps

My mom came home to visit me for a second today on her lunch break. My aunt Belinda was staying with me today so I didn't have get spend my day in the kitchen today! (YAY)

When Mom found me, I was lying in the backyard in my favorite sunny spot taking a wonderful nap! It was wonderful. It's a little chilly out today, but I have a thick coat, so it's all good!

Coyote!

As my Daddy was coming home yesterday afternoon, he saw something big moving in the field beside our house. Getting closer, he noticed that it was a rather large COYOTE! We've been hearing a group of them bay at night but this was the first time we've seen one this close to our house. The part that bothered my Mommy was that it was pretty early in the evening. It wasn't even quite dark yet when Daddy pulled inot the driveway.

Mommy's a little worried and really looking carefully outside before we go outside. She's especially worried for Rosie and Gracie since they're so little.

Be praying for us. I'm a big dog and bred to protect cows, but Mommy worries about me anyway.

I Ain't Afraid of Nuttin'!

I told y'all before about the coyotes in our neighborhood.

Well, the other night Mommy heard me barking up a blue streak. She thought at first that I was giving the neighbor dogs heck. (Sometimes they run loose and aggravate me.) So she opened the door to let us (Rosie, Gracie and me) in and she found out who I was really barking at: a coyote.

I was at the back fence which backs up to an open field which leads to the woods where the coyote pack lives. There was a young coyote standing at our back fence. He was probably stalking Rosie and Gracie since they're so little, but I wasn't having it. While Rosie and Gracie were hiding in the dog house, I was right up by the fence barking like mad with my ruff all poofed out and everything.

I might only be five months, but I don't take no crap off nobody and nobody's gonna pick on my fursisters 'cept ME!

It scared Mommy a little that I was so brave, but she was proud of me too for taking care of the Ladies.

I LOVE the car!

I just absolutely LOVE riding in the car! I've been to Petco and Petsmart with my Mom and Dad and my Aunt B lets me ride with her sometimes when she's going to to the drive-through pharmacy.


Now everytime someone gets out their keys, I'm ready to go! Last night, I tried to go out with Mom when she was taking the Kiddo out for a movie. I was really bummed when Mommy told me that they don't let puppies into the movies. They should you know... I'm really good. I'd lay in Mom's lap and watch it too. I'd only try to kiss everybody one time... probably... :D

I'm a computer nerd!

Last night, Mom was on the 'puter playing a new game and I was sitting in her lap as usual. Well, this game was soooooo cool! It made great noises and had lots of stuff going across the screen. I was so stoked!

I tried really hard to help Mommy win the game. I was following the pointer on the screen and kept pushing the button on that thing Mom calls a mouse. Then I started barking at the screen and pushing the space bar with my foot. It was so fun!

I hope Mom lets me play that game again, cuz I'm good! :D
