Boo Boo Belly :(

Mom and dad came hope last night. I was in my crate, I didn't eat my food and I wouldn't go outside with them either. I was scared. Mom of course was concerned. She had fed me some food while I was in my crate.. I ate a couple of bites but that was it. I didn't even take my meds last night. Oh yea, mom is also changing my food back to Canidae. I think mom is going to phase that out again, I'm gassy! Mom left my food out all night for me.

Mom woke up this morning and there was still food in my bowl. I hadn't touched it. Dad thinks it's the banging of the ice in the deck boards. Mom thinks it's probably that and the fact that our eating schedule is all screwy. Or all of the above...

Mom and dad took us for a walk. Then dad went in and mom took us to the playground. Mom threw the chuckit ball for Grunt a bunch of times. Then she and I played. I ran around and it felt good. I shook a bunch of times and mom said, shake it off girl! So I did! Then I heard chainsaws and people yelling somewhere and I got scared again. So mom redirected me and we were off and playing again.

When I got in the house I went and ate the rest of my food. Mom was pretty happy! :):) I'm still scared, mom left some food in my bowl just in case I get the munchies. :):)

Mud and Bubbles!

Mom got up early, the sun was out. She said lets go guys! We went for a walk, it was 52 degrees!!!!! The ice was gone from the driveway. Dad came with us and walked Grunt. Me and mom went exploring while dad was working Grunt through his commands. Poor Grunt - NOT! We got back, dad went up to the house and we went to the playground. Well let me tell you we all got muddy! Grunt missed a ball and it went through the fence. Mom had to walk all the way around to get it. Until then I was teasing Grunt. I ran circles around him, all he wanted was the stupid ball. Well we all got muddy playing, mom just kept chuckin Grunts ball and me and mom kept walking and goofing around.

We got in mom wiped us off. She noticed the center of my belly was red. She said, that's it you're getting a bath today. What????

Then mom gave us breakfast. She sat, ate hers as we stared at her. Didn't get a bite again! Darn! Then mom started to set up the shower. Ugggh! I hid in my crate, but no luck she found me. She used a different shampoo on my belly said it had medicine in it. It smelled awesome! Anyhoo mom gave me a thorough scrubbin even used the zoom groom on me. It was like a massage and I didn't mind one bit.

So now it's raining, supposed to get alot of winds and then snow tonight and I'm super clean!

Ice,,, gaaaahhhh!

We tried to get down the driveway today and Grunt fell on his butt! Mom slipped and slid along. I, being the smart one, walked in the snow along the driveway. Well mom and Grunt joined me and we were good to go! Still slipped and slid a bit, but not like that ice! Ooooohh I don't like the ice. The entrance to the playground is on a hill and it wall almost all ice also! Mom trimmed my nails and there wasn't much to dig into the ice with. I took my time until we got further in the playground and then I took off running! Now it's raining and muddy. Mom says I need a bath that I stink. What? Just because I'm wayyy overdue for a bath doesn't mean I stink... Mom said tomorrow it's supposed to warm up before they go to work and then get real cold. So she's gonna walk us, play and then give me a bath. At least when they leave for work I'll be burrowed in some blankets on the bed! :):)

Diary of the Day Pick!

Thanks HQ!! Yes, I'm truly honored for the pick today! Woke up it was 6 degrees with windchills of -12 below. Mom got some hay for a dog up the road that is chained to a doghouse. She didn't know the people but decided it was time to introduce herself and get some hay into the boxer's doghouse. Mom did what she does best and got the hay in not 1 but 2 doghouses!! She came home and gave Grunt a big ol hug and sat and pet me saying how luckily I am to have such a great home!

Mom follows Panda Paws Rescue. They rescue handicapped dogs. The owner, Amanda, was heading to court today with a pitbull, London. Who was abused so bad that his front legs had to be amputated. Well the courts decided to let the dog, London, in the courtroom. It's a first and we wish her the best. The abusers are looking at 3 years in prison and $20,000 fine. Let's hope the law stands true and justice is served for London!

Gaaaaaa the winds are back!

I hate, hate, H-A-T-E!! Wind! I was with mom and dad when Hurricane Ike hit us in TX and ever since then I hate winds! Well we went for a walk this morning and boy were the winds blowing! We got back to our playground and all was good until wooosh!! A huge gust of wind came along and I was scared! I ran to mom and she put an arm around me and said I was safe with her! Boy isn't that the truth!

Oh yea, and when we left for our walk it was 30 degrees. When we got back from the playground it was 25! Mom said it's supposed to get real cold for the next week. Luckily me and Grunt snuggle on the bed!

Yippeee!!

I got Diary Pick of the Day! Yippeeee!! Thanks HQ! Mom didn't take us for our walk first thing. Her and dad went shopping. Hmmmpppfff!! Well when they got back mom said, lets go! I boxed at her legs and then did a kitty rub up on her! She just giggles at me when I do this. Me the scaredy dog! We went for our walk and mom said lets go around the cemetary. It's warm out today, 34, and the snow is melting and packing. So our walk around the cemetary was easier, kinda. Mom said it was harder for her to walk on. But we managed alright!

Mom got something to eat before we went to the playground. I took off like a shot for my tree. Grunt went down the bottom of the hill and was digging the ground like he does! Mom took off through the center of the yard. Well, Grunt caught up with mom and then chased me for a bit. I ran so much more than Grunt did today. It was fun! :):) Now mom checks the Diary picks and there I am! Yippeeee!!

5 Years Ago You Were Rescued

You were under an abandoned house in Beaumont. Not in the nicest of areas, the rescue got a call about a mother boxer and her pups. You were all rescued on January 1st. The ladies who crawled under the house to get you and your siblings were laughing how they got so dirty, and you guys were so cute.

Darcy who would've thought you would end up here in the mountains, living the life you live. Me and dad love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our lives.

Love you Darcy!

Mom

What a day!

After our walk mom took us to the playground. It was still snowing. We've got like 25-30 inches of snow in the playground. Today mom put on my new Ruffwear coat. It's awesome! Grunt decided to pound on me and poof! I was buried in the snow! I came up with a headful of snow and it was on! I snapped at him and boxed him good! We took off running. Mom left us in the playground while she plowed the driveway and front of the house. So we ran after mom along the fence each time she went up and down! It was fun! We had a track dug in after jumping like antelopes and we got faster and faster! Well mom finished, and came to get us out of the playground. Then she finished plowing behind the house. We mom went to work today we were pooped! Happy, content and pooped out! What a day!

My Christmas Gift

Mom took us for a walk in the other direction. We ended up walking up the old logging trail and in the woods. Mom left Grunt off lead and he went sniffing. I know that mom likes to keep me off lead, but she said today I was getting a gift. My gift was she unsnapped my lead and said go ahead Darc. I took off up the woods and had a good time! Mom kept an eye on me the whole time. I made my loop that I used to make with Turner and ended up at the front of the house.

Mom and Grunt were heading to the playground so I joined them. Mom said I was such a good girl for joining them. She's afraid I will run away. Did ya'll see my house? Like I'd leave my mansion for the woods and cold! Puuuleeeezzz!!! :):)

Well after we played in the playground for a while mom took us for a regular walk down by the mini-horses. Missy Ann (the local Chihuahua) was out for her walk with her dad (the Mountain Man). And all was pretty quiet, except for the 19 geese that were flying overhead. They circled 2xs before landing on the other side of the woods. There is a little pond over there mom said.

We got back to the house and now it's nappy time! :):)

Merry Christmas to all of my Dogster friends!

I Love the Snow!

Mom and dad took us for our walk. Then we went to the playground. Dad came along with us! Well Dad was chucking the ball for Grunt and I was doing the happy jumps and spins. Guess dad never saw me doing this before, he was shocked! He kept shaking his head at mom saying, "look at her she's nuts" Mom said, she loves the snow. Yup I do! I ran around like a total loon!

Mom took us in because her battery on the camera died. But she did take us out for another round of playtime. I continued on my quest of being goofy! I just love the snow! :)
