New Roof, No Fence

Still nothing on the F word front.

But I keep hearing it.....blah blah blah, blah blah FENCE, blah blah blah, blah FENCE.... you know...all talk on the phone thingy....

But we did have the people come and walk on the roof and make noise all day and throw things off the top of the roof.....mummy says the new roof is nice but I cant see it or even see the difference.

Just gimme the FENCE!!!!

The F Word

It's still not here. Just letting ya know.

The F Word

Well, what do THINK I am barking about???

Gordon Ramsey's show? His mouth?? That 4 letter word that is bad??

Gosh, you all have your minds IN THE GUTTER!!!

For me, and I think I speak for hundreds of other canines, the F Word is 5 letters -------- it's what everyfur dreams of ---------- A FENCE!!!

Yep, yep, yep! I HEARD the pawrents talking over that phone thingy that dads voice comes over and mummy talks into. I am pretty darn positive we is getting us a fence!!

Dads was out there Sunday, in the wet mind you, measuring the back yard and mummy was flinging her arms all over the place pointing here and there. Skye has no clue. He just looks out the back door and stares at them. But I knew what was up. Just like the roof thingy. I know something is up there too. And soon. See, that is why I am the Prince and he's just an oblivious Duke.

I am putting my paws together everynight to ensure that the big guy upstairs listens and gives mummy and daddy a fence. I know that things around the palace are different with mummy home (boy, are they!) but if we can get a fence out of this deal, well then, it is worth it!

Oh and I heard mummy tell Dads that she can't handle Will on a leash....so if my buddy Will is the deciding factor, then I need to give him a cookie!! And he is coming to live with us next week!! I was never to his house but now both my human brothers are coming home next week to live at the palace. I can't wait!!! Playtime 24/7!!!
I think mummy will be out of sorts. She says she was an empty nester too long.

One thing...yesterday we went to that vet place that "fixed" us a while back. Skye was so terrified that when we sat down to wait he peed all over the floor. But get this, the big ole lard butt was SO TERRIFIED that he did not even get up out of his own pee! Mummy had to pick him up and wipe him off. I just laughed. Me, I was brave. We got some shots and the white coat lady looked down my throat and poked around because mummy told her I just had another choking incident and when mummy tried to get the kibble out of my throat it did not come up. She thought it was stuck still. Silly woman. She nearly killed me with the back pounding and sticking fingers down my throat, what does she expect for it to come UP? No way, it went down!!! Sure it was scary but it got handled. Mummy freaks. Of course when we leave, everyone that was there just told mummy how handsome I was!!!!! (Yeah, yeah Skye too....)

Well, I will keep everyone posted on the f word!!!

What is it with the wet?

I think the woman is daft.

She was outside this morning on the back patio with this spray hose gun looking thingy attached to a thingy that makes noise like the lawn eater. And she was spraying and spraying the concrete. Getting herself all wet. Getting the concrete all wet. For what??? Hasn't it been wet enough around here already?

Then she comes inside and she is all wet. Her feet look like shriveled prunes. And they do not smell so hot either.

Then she takes a shower and puts her pyjamas on again. It's one in the afternoon. What up with that? But get this, she gets out more water and a sponge rag and proceeds to wash and dry the kitchen floor. She gets on her hands and knees to wash the floor so you got it....all wet again. So, what does she do....yep....she takes yet ANOTHER shower and puts on more pyjamas.

God she is nuts.

Oh for a Fence

Get this....

We went to Gran's yesterday. Now, I really like going to Gran's. Not because Winston is there or there are 3 different felines for me to torment, but because I get to ride in the mini and also Gran fawns all over me. The big ole lard butt also manages to steal away Gran's attention, but he goes more to Gramps. I get jealous when Gran brushes him or talks to him. Well, anyway.....Get this....we got to go out that back door where there is this wooden thing that they all call a deck. I had absolutely NO IDEA that there was GROUND below this deck thing. Well, the door opens up and out goes Winston! NO LEAD!

I figured that this is my opportunity to BOLT! And I did. Nice to see that I still have it!! I thought "WOO HOO - I'm out free!" when I realized that Gran and Gramps have a FENCE!

A FENCE. That is what I have been barking about since Christmas. But with the mummy not working and being home disturbing my routine is preventing the fence installation. It just means more walkies.

You know a fence is marvelous. I just loved romping through the whole yard and munching on the greens. Me and Winnie (I call him Winnie because we are buds), well, me and Winnie ran and ran and ran...and ya know what....we really are alot alike. I knew he was my half brother (Pascavale Pancho is our daddy) but I did not realize how much we are alike! He even putzes like I do at supper time! Mr. Skye time, well he was off on his own, digging up the garden dirt and getting all dirty! Ain't nuthin in that dirt. Don't know what the fascination is what that one...

Well, we were just DOG TIRED when we got home! I could not wait to go to bed. Since dads works in a place called New Jersey, I sleep on his pillow every night to keep mummy company. Skye sleeps by mummy's feet so he knows when she gets out of the big bed. He is my alarm system. OH and bad mummy put the phone to my nose last night when she was talking to dads and he listened to me snore. HOW utterly gauche is mummy???????

We are supposed to get more wet and bad boomers today. I need to protect mummy - she does not like them. But I got her to type my diary at least.......

Dad, the wet and poopy sidewalks

Dads was home this weekend! But only a short time and we was in our royal xpen all day on Sunday!!! Then When the pawrents got home it was wham bam!!! Get the lead on, go outside for walkie with mummy, make our business quick because the wet looked it was coming soon and then when we get inside the palace - there is dads packing that bag again! And then, after quick licks and kisses - he is off! I miss my dads alot.

Then the noises came and the wet from the sky fell. And the alarm box with the voice talking funny went off - mummy listens to him real good when she hears the alarm. But we were okay. Me and Skye just stayed close to mummy and chewed on our bully sticks. We were just so glad to be outta that xpen!

Today the wet is coming down but not hard. Sometimes, wet comes down real soft and light. Sometimes, it is way way hard and fast. I don't like either situation. Neither does my bro - he does not like the wet on the grass and will not go and do his business - so he goes right on the sidewalk! How embarassing is that? Me, a prince and all, having one of my Dukes go straight away on the walkway, for all to see! Then mummy has to pick it up - ick! Me, I like to hold it. No going for me in the wet!

Mummy told us we have a busy week. We are going to gran and gramps tomorrow to visit for a bit. That means MINI RIDE! And she mumbled something about her and dads giving us baths on Friday??? HUH????

Do ya think mummy forgot how to type??

Well, let me tell you...it's about frickin time that I finally got this woman I call mummy to get her fingers on the keyboard and type up some of my rants!!!

One would think that with the woman being out of work and all, she would do this on a DAILY basis, but NOOOOOOOOO, I got to get her a job so she gets herself on dogster every day like when she worked!

However, I will admit, I love having mummy home. I get to saunter all over the palace and snooze wherever I choose to snooze. Plus I get a few more cookies AND I get some real quality bedtime on the big bed.

But I do miss my dads - I take his spot in the big bed - I sleep on his pillow right next to mummy to protect her. Skye's big ole lard butt is at the foot of the bed. And I love Will, but that boy has NO IDEA how to sleep properly in a bed full of dogs. That boy is under the covers - I have no clue how that boy breathes! Then, he is out from under the covers, then he is back under, back and forth, waking us up each time. I was exhausted.

Oh and apparantely, I bark (or as mummy says "yip") way too much. I just let everyone know I am here, I am Prince and pay attention to me. Plus, the lard butt takes my bully stick so I yip, er, bark at him. I yip for dads when he is on the phone talking to mummy. He wants to know if I ever shut up. WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?? I will bark when I want to. It's my right as Prince. You know, I can bark for 20 minutes straight until I drive mummy batty. She timed it.

And excitement at the palace is forthcoming! My human brothers are moving back in for a bit and WILL IS COMING TO LIVE WITH US! WOO HOO! Just as long as he does not sleep with us or take my bully sticks, I am ok with it. I think Skye will have a nervous breakdown.

Maybe Winston will come over. That is Gran's cavalier. He and Skye are buds - even though Winnie is my real half brother, I still consider Will my bro. Winnie and Skye can go have each other.

And, lastly, I have got to get mummy to get back on the Corner. I miss my loverly lady, Becky. She is a dream and I dont get to talk to her much now with mummy whining about being on the puter all day and her arm with the numb tennis junk. I think that is just a ploy to conceal her laziness. But that is just my theory. We shall see........

Palace Happenings

Woo Hoo!! It is almost Easter day! That will be special because everyone is planning to come over to the palace!! That means WILL!!!! We will have a grand time running all about and tormenting the big ole lard butt!!! However, I think Winston may be coming over too, so Skye will have someone to play with, at least.

You know, mummy really needs to take lessons on giving us the bath. She does the brushing fairly well - I just hate it but I have to keep my princely locks looking lovely for the masses - but she does not do the bath as well.

Oh yeah, and we had a meetup with all the other cavs a few weeks ago and I got to see my half sister Rosie. She is so cool. She wears dresses. We are supposed to have a meet up tomorrow too!

And I think the mummy is starting to get into a routine, but I still don't like the daily vac. It is my job to bark at it and I just get worn out. Daddy calls me Barky McFinnigan. Hhurmp.

We got this stuff all over our paws when we walk. Its yellow. Mummy says it pollen and it is everywhere. It is all over the mini and on shoes and our feet and on the grass. I don't like it because we get our feet washed when we come back into the palace!

Oh and last Sunday - after dinner - WE GOT TO RIDE IN THE MINI AND GO TO RITA's! We got cherry water ice and mummy feed us from our own spoons. Gosh, I just LOVE Rita's and I just LOVE to ride in the mini!!!! Yep, Skye still lays and closes his eyes. I think he gets car sick. Does not know what he is missing.

Well, mummy tells us that big storms are coming our way today - tornadoes. I dont like the sound of that one. I hope we dont get them. Mummy and dads will be at church and I need protection from storms. Even though I am the brave one, I dont care for storms and I cant protect Skye and myself!!!

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL MY FURIENDS!!!!!

What's a Prince to do?

ok here is the thing.... I LOVE having mummy home, but she has GOT TO GET THE ROUTINE DOWN!

For instance, the walks around the palace grounds. Here is the deal. I LIKE to smell bushes. I know that they are the same bushes I smelled an hour earlier, but THAT IS WHAT I DO! No bush should be left before I say so. I don't need the tug on the lead, I don't need the "C'mon Finn, let's go". Just LET ME SMELL THE FRICKIN BUSH!

Oh, and if I want to leave the old scent on the bush - DONT PULL ME SO I GET OFF BALANCE (you men out there can appreciate that)

And this whole running the vac everyday! It is EXHAUSTING! I bark and bite at it and I am only used to 2x a week - NOT EVERY FRICKIN DAY WOMAN!!! Save the electricity....Geez.

Now, I do LOVE the coffee hour! That is around 4pm and mummy gets a coffee and a biscuit and me and Skye sit on the throne with her while she drinks her coffee and pets and loves us! Sometimes she will watch the telly for a bit but usually not. It is just our attention time! I just hope that mummy finds employment soon, even if it means no more coffee hour, because she told me that this may affect my COOKIES! Mummy orders them from a place called 3 dog bakery and told us that we better get used to milk bones cuz if she dont find a job, we are off that gravy train. EGADS!!!!

Princely Rants

1. Mummy needs to understand the routine in this palace. She needs to stick with it. I, as the Prince of Alpharetta, demand consistency!

2. I do like her being home. No royal xpen all day...just sittin next to the ole lard butt. We get to be out and about and run and bark and fight and check out the kit-tang box for morsels. I just get the old "Finn, get outta there" yelled at me and I'm off! Skye, well, he don't know no better and he gets caught red-handed. Or shall I say, poopy mouthed?

3. I dont like the daily brushing routine. That is one routine that mum can bag.

4. Kitty chasing is on the rise. I like that.

5. Much more walks around the palace grounds. Like that bit too.

6. Ok so I bark a whole lot more now. She just needs to get used to it.

7. I know mummy needs to look for a new job, but I really like her being at home. She cleans way too much though.

8. Oh and the big ole lard butt is getting way too cozy with mummy since she has been home. Where does he get off doing that? I AM THE PRINCIPAL CHARACTER IN THIS GIG, not him!!!
