I'm not fat, I'm pleasantly plump!

So Brodie and I really had a good thing going for a while. We had mom and dad trained to feed us and then give us greenies when we were done with our kibble. Did I mention I LOVE GREENIES?!!!!! So the other day I finished my food, ran over to my mom looking as cute as I could possibly be, waiting for my greenie when my mom said "Stella, you are getting FAT!"

EXCUSE ME???? FAT???? I prefer to call it Pleasantly Plump. I mean what does she expect? I'm happy and she gives me dessert every night. What am I supposed to do? Say "No Thanks?" PESHAAAWWWWW!!!!!! Fat chance!!!! I only eat them for my teeth...I mean my teeth look phenomenal!!! It takes a lot of work to keep my teeth gleaming white. But mom has a different idea. Now I'm not getting a greenie every day. :( Now I'm going to have brown teeth. Bummer, guess I need to go run some laps so she'll reinstate the DAILY greenie.

I love the snow!!!

It has been snowing the past few days at my house. And can I just say....I LOVE THE SNOW!!! Well....sort of. Not when mom is trying to get me to go outside to go potty after I've just woke up from a nap, I look at her and say "are you crazy lady?"....but I pretty much love it the rest of the time. This morning my mom and dad took me and Brodie for a walk in the snow. I was so excited, I practically drug my dad down the stairs. My mom kept saying "I can't believe she actually went out the front door on her own!" Usually they have to carry me out, cuz I'm afraid they are taking me back to the clanker so I make it as difficult as possible, but today I knew we were just going out to have a good time (afterall, they aren't going to DRIVE in the snow!). We walked all around the neighborhood. Have you ever noticed that when you go outside and it's cold...it makes you need to pee? Yeah, well obviously nobody told my dad. I would find a nice place to squat and he would just keep going. ugh....men! Anyways, I saw kids sliding down hills (crazy if you ask me) and got to smell the fresh cool air. When we were done I had a ton of snow in between my paws, but my dad cleaned them up really well so it didn't bother me at all. Yep...all in all it was a good day. I hope it snows again soon!!!

Chow for now!
Stella

The sky is falling!!!!

Oh my gosh!!! Yesterday morning was SO scary!!! I kept hearing really loud crashes and booms outside the house. I couldn't tell for sure, but I think the sky was falling!! My mom said "Don't worry Stella, it's just thunder, it won't hurt you". Hrmpf...what does she know? I'm sure the thunder was coming from some really big monster that wanted to eat me for breakfast. Man, I was so scared, I was shaking uncontrollably. I jumped in bed with my mom and she tried to comfort me, but the thunder just kept going! It took me like 3 hours before I was recovered from the horror of the event! Once I was calmed down enough, I went outside and sure enough, the sky hadn't fallen in. I just hope that doesn't happen again any time soon. I can't help myself, I just get so scared. :(

On another note, my paws feel SO much better! How did my mom know that my claws were actually hurting me before she took me in to have them cut? Now I can prance around like the princess that I am and my feet don't hurt one bit!

OWWWEEEE!!!!

Forgive me as I write this entry as I am still a bit groggy and I'll tell you why. This morning was like any other, I woke up from my spot on the bed in the spare bedroom, went outside, and looked real cute while my mom got ready to leave. About the time she usually leaves, she grabbed my harness and walked towards me. This had me a bit unnerved as I don't really like to leave the house. I am always afraid I am going back to the joint. Anyhow, my mom ended up bettering me and got the harness on me. :( Then she asked me to follow her. I decided to go with her because up until today I've gotten to go pretty cool places when she puts the harness on me. When my mom opened the door to the garage, I was suddenly knocked over by my brother Brodie. He didn't have a leash on, but I figured we were going outside to play. Next thing I knew we were running down the street and Brodie was WAY ahead of us. My mom was whistling and calling Brodie, but he had disappeared. Finally, after he got his fill of whatever he was doing, he came back. Mom grabbed him by the collar and took him back home. I thought..."well that was fun!! I think I'll go sit on the couch again", much to my dismay only Brodie went back in the house. My mom brought me over to the car and after I gave it a long hard thought, I jumped in. The car ride was ok. I'm getting a bit more comfortable in it, I used to shake uncontrollably, but now I am not so scared. Little did I know...we were going to the ve...veter...vegetarian?...umm...I think my mom says vegetarian (maybe veterinarian?), something like that. All I know is that there are a lot of different smells there and it reminds me of my days in the joint. My mom gave me a kiss and a hug and I was real confused, I didn't know what to think. Then she left. :( I was sad (so was my mom, I think). After I had been there for a while, somebody came and got me and shaved my leg and put a needle in it. Next thing I know, I am waking up and am in a cage. My feet kinda hurt a bit. I didn't know why, but I didn't feel any pain. I was confused all day, but finally my dad came and rescued me (he's the best) and took me home. He told me on the way home that while I was asleep the vegetarian cut my claws. I guess they were really long. I did actually notice it and they were kinda bugging me, but I had never said anything. When I got home, I was SO excited to see everyone. My mom gave me lots of hugs, Brodie gave me some licks, heck...even the kitty was happy to have me home. :) Anyways, I told you I would tell you why I was still groggy...I guess my mom was worried that my feet would hurt me since they cut my nails pretty far back...so the vegetarian gave me some drugs. :) I don't feel a thing! And I tell you what, I am SO happy to be home!!! But, I will DEFINITELY think twice before leaving the house again!!
