Sun, sun, sun! :)

Woke up this morning and the sun was out! Boy was it bright! Went and rubbed along the bed to wake up mom and Grunt. Mom loves this - my tail is real high and I'm smiling! So I went outside with mom and Grunt and found out something awesome. It's warm outside! I mean WARM! Well mom gave us our crackers and took a shower. Me and Grunt were on the bed by the window enjoying the warmth of the sun. I started to doze off and felt like someone was watching me. Sure enough, there was mom smiling at me and Grunt.

Mom took me and Grunt on a long walk today. It was too nice to not take a long walk. We took our time and really got our sniffing in!

On the way back to the house we walked up the front yard. Mom decided to count how many steps it takes to walk up one side of the yard where our new fencing will be. 85 paces! That's pretty big, and that's on the short side! :) Mom said she can't wait until we get the fencing in so I can give Grunt a good run for his money! :)

Mom and dad went to work and they left me and Grunt on the bed. I had my head on Grunts hip, eyes closed, Grunt snoring!

Sooooo today....

We had 2 guys that I've never seen (or smelled) before visit. At first they were outside with mom and dad. I stood at the door and stared at them. Then they all came inside. Dad was showing them the house and took them downstairs to the "man cave". Mom went with them and of course so did Grunt. Well I didn't want to be alone and I came down the stairs and behind the one man and got next to mom. Mom and dad were so shocked. This was the 2nd time in 3 weeks that I was following mom and dad when there were strangers. I wasn't hiding in my room! Yipee!!

Well mom bent over to rub my chest and I leaned on her! :) Mom noticed I wasn't shaking and my eyes were concerned by not scared.

Mom said today is the last day of the year, whatever that means. All I know is the next year is going to be better...

Merry Christmas Darcy!

Darcy, my angel! You had a rough start to life. But now you have a safe and comfortable life forever... No more scary people or things to hurt you ever again! This is your second Christmas with us and this year was alot different than last. You are much more at ease with everyone and everything! You joined us in the living room today to watch dad play with Grunt! You wag your tail so much now - we love it! You smile at me whenever you enter a room and I say hello! Tail a waggin! :)

You had a special breakfast today. Dad made pancakes and you gobbled them up with your food! Yummie! You play with Grunt all of the time and you go to dad when mom isn't home for attention. That we love the most! :)

Darcy, we're so glad you're with us. Knowing that you're safe in our lives forever! Merry Christmas Darcy!

Bubbles Everywhere

I've been doing really well. I greet mom and my tail swings back and forth, back and forth! I'm pretty happy! Mom said I needed a bath. I'm not fond of them, but I do get a great massage and warm water. So they aren't too bad. Anyhoo, I got my bath, mom put loads of shampoo on. Grunt was laying outside of the tub to make sure I wasn't lonely. When mom went to rinse me off there were bubbles floating by my head! Geez, how much shampoo did she use?

Now I'm squeeky clean and shiny! Mom towel dried me and took us out for potty. When we got back in the house I went to the bed to relax. Mom came in a put a blanket over me so I wouldn't get cold. I curled in it and fell fast asleep. Aaaaa... I feel clean....

Over so soon? Awwwww.....

I was sleeping in my kennel at Rainy Day and I "felt" someone watching me. I looked up and there was mom looking through the door. I got up, did a yawn and good stretch. Yup it was mom. Guess it's time to leave my favorite kennel...... waahhhhh.....

It was nice having other dogs to play with. I kept a close eye on Grunt and he did a pretty good job at playing with everyone. I even started to eat once in the am and once at night. No crazy orange people to scare me!

Once we got home Grunt and I did laps around the yard. Yesss!! That felt good! Maybe it's not so bad being home afterall. Mom gave us some yummie cookies that we never had before - score! Grunt decided he wanted to play more so mom stepped in and played with him for an hour or so. I went to sleep on mom's bed - aaaaaahhh, so comfy.... good to be home...

I'm on Vacation.. I'm on Vacation

Yesterday mom got up and loaded me and Grunt into the truck. I sat in the back panting, I was nervous. Grunt was his usually happy self - but was confused as to why I was in the truck with him. When we made the turn I knew where I was and sat up. We're going to Rainy Day Kennels! Yippeee!! I L-O-V-E that place! I have the best time, get to meet, greet and play with other dogs. I haven't been here since October and me and Grunt were kept away from the other pups because we had giardia.

Mom and dad aren't going anywhere, they just wanted us to have playtime with other pups. Aren't they awesome! :)

The weather is going to be pretty nice and we'll have plenty of playtime. Yippeee!! I'll have mom write back when we get home - we've got 5 days here! Yaaahooooo!!!

Diary Pick of the Day! Woot Woot!!

Yea I got Diary Pick of the Day! Not much going on today. It's warm for December! This time last year we had like 2 feet of snow! I'm not complaining though! Grunt and I got to play all day. Mom, dad and grandpa went to go see the elk in Benezette. Grunt and I got to have a house party while they were gone! Alright, maybe not a house party, but we did play and then take a peaceful nappie!!

Grandpa is heading home tomorrow. Hunting has been off this year, too warm, no snow. Not that I'm complaining. I like to watch the deer. One more week of guns shooting and then I can settle down.

Mom scheduled me and Grunt some playtime at Rainy Day Kennel in 2 weeks. Me and Grunt are going to play with other dogs. Mom says it'll be good for us and she's right. Last time we were quarantined because of the giardia. Now we're both healthy and ready to play!!

Have a great day all! :)

Hunters.... yuck...

So these 6 guys show up at the house and are staying in the basement for a couple of days. Turns out they are hunters, you know they guys in orange. Yuck!!

Turns out they aren't too bad. They laugh and talk downstairs and that gets me a bit nervous. BUT, when mom and Grunt go downstairs I stand on the landing watching. That's pretty good right?

One of the hunters shot a buck. They hung it from the porch and mom let me smell it. I was pretty curious about the buck, but more interested in sniffing where the men had left their scent.

It rained the last few days, mom says it's supposed to snow a few inches tomorrow - we'll see....

Magic Turkey? Maybe..

When mom got home last night dad said there was another break through with me. Mom thought it was going to be something bad. Then dad said that while he was in the computer room that I sat next to him and actually leaned against him so he would pet me. He rubbed my chest and shoulders and it felt wonderful! Mom said there must've been magic in the turkey and gravey...

Then this morning we all went for a walk. When we got home I went to my room. Not knowing that mom and Grunt left and dad left. I was all alone in the house.... Aaaaaaaa the peace and quiet!!

When mom and Grunt got home I ran outside and hopped and barked! Giving mom a good piece of my mind! :) Mom and Grunt greeted me and mom went into the house. Well I flew in through the doggie door and ran and skipped around mom. My tail just a waggin! I actually jumped up to greet mom and touched her. She didn't get mad either! She smiled and gave me some good rubs!

Hmmmm,, maybe there is a magic in the turkey...

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Mom gave me and Grunt some gravy and Turkey with our food. OMG! It was sooooooo goood! I'm pretty lucky to have such a wonderful home with a mom, dad and furbrother that love me so much!

Mom took us for a walk this morning after the mourning parade of 30+ turkeys and a gobbler walked the front yard. The smells were yummy!!
