“Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way. ”

Christmas time's a coming!

Mom told me that she's signed all us pups up for the Secret Santa Paws exchange again this year! WooHoo! I can't wait... I LOVE Santa Paws! He sends these pawsome gifts through the mail and the arrive right on my door step. I have so much fun sniffing them, trying to figure out what is in them. If I had hands, then I'd probably be shaking them too. Mom is telling me not to get too excited yet, there's still a little over a month before any gift would arrive. But I don't care! I'm busy practicing my Christmas dance!!

What not to do...

Here's a lesson on what not to do when Mom is trying to sleep in. We were all very happy to have an extra sleep in day this week, but seems like I made a little mistake in manners. Evidently there are certain things a pup shouldn't do. And some how I think I figured out what might be high up on that list.

A pup should not sit up in bed and howl. I did... and mom wasn't happy about it. Seems like that is a rude way to wake up a human. Really, it wasn't my fault. Blame it on Ty... he's the one who taught me to howl at sirens. And there was a siren blaring somewhere within my hearing range. Once I woke mom up, she could hear it in the distance. I'm guess having a reason to howl, doesn't excuse the behavior. Mom got up, grumbling the whole time about never getting to have a relaxing day.

So, I guess I will try to refrain from howling in bed in the future!

Morning Breath

Mom says I have morning breath. What's that & how can that be?? I think my breath is the same no matter what time of day it is... unless I just finished a cow hoof or something. In that case, I will admit my breath is less than fresh.

Anyway, I've decided that I want to sleep at the top of the bed with Mom. Now this is normally my sister Annie's spot, but ya snooze, ya lose. I've made it to bed before she has, so I get to claim my spot. I enjoy the top of the bed. I can snuggle up to Mom and I get to have my own pillow! How sweet is that??

Anyhoo... the pillow is were the morning breath comes into play. I sleep on my pillow, but at some point during the night I end up sharing Mom's pillow. When she wakes up, my snout is almost touching her nose. Then I proceed to do a BIG yawn, right in her face! BOL!! I think it's funny, but she pushes my nose away and tells me I have morning breath. Should I be offended??
