A DOGSTER featured Diary Pick of the Day!

OMD! I am SO very honored that Dogster bestowed this wonderful honor on this lowly prince! That Dogster dude is something special to have created this place for all of us to go to! Even mummy and dads thinks DOGSTER is fab!

I would like to thank mummy for typing up my daily rants whilst I dictate to her and I would like to thank Skye for providing me my daily entertainment to allow me to create entries for my Diary.

Also, all my loyal subjects in Alpharetta that adore me - thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support and love.

And lest I never forget, my dearest Becky. Without your constant love and support I would not be what I am today. Thank you.

uh-oh - wait a second, mummy just told me that this NOT an awards show. How embarassing is this???

Well anyway THANK YOU DOGSTER and here is a big SHOUT OUT to all my furiends at the CAVALIER CORNER and CAVALIERS4EVA!! YOU ALL ROCK!

xpens and staring

Did everyone get to see my new picture of me and my Becky faces in two hearts on my page? OHH I just love my Becky. She is the most beautiful cavalier ever!!!

We have been relegated to the xpanded royal xpen since the wall chewing incident and I dont mind one bit. I grew up in an xpen and love the feeling of security. Skye can be a pain in the neck. He sometimes paces to and fro and then he pees on the towels mummy leaves out for us. Why can't the dude hold it? I do! But the good thing is we do not poo in our pen (or have not for 3 days) and mummy is so happy about that. I think its a hard hold for Skye but not for me. I am THE MASTER OF THE HOLD!

Mummy has been loving me alot lately giving me kisses and letting me lay on her lap when she at the puter at the night. I love that. Except for the starer. He just lurks about the chair and stares. He thinks he is a right lurker but he is ANNOYING. He does not want mummy's lap, he wants MY beef bully twirl! He has his own.

And Skye thinks something is up because mummy is making little bags of food. Perhaps he is correct but I am not going to tell him that. He is only a lowly Duke to my Prince. But anyway, IF there is something going on, mum and dads always makes sure we are taken care of and when they come back, it is always the best moment when I see them for the first time! My whole body just WAGS!!!

Oh yeah.....and Skye needs to bag the staring. Grow up.

I have only one thing to say...

Beef bully twirly sticks ROCK!

Oh yeah!!

The weekend started out brilliantly!

Ok here is my weekend in a nutshell...

Friday when mummy gets home...WAGGY WORLD!!! What a high - my weekend must be gonna be GRRREAT!!! I love Waggy World. Man, I got to ride in the mini (love the mini) and then I got to run around at Waggy World. Not alot of other furs but just enough to have a blast!!!

Get home and get fed. Can't complain there.

Get the harness taken off. OH YEAH! Comfort!!! Play with Skye for a bit, rassling around the house. Harness goes back on but we get a WALKIE!! YIPPEEE! Go patroling around the grounds, do my stuff come in side and the harness is OFF again!

I think the weekend is gonna be PERFECTO!

Go to bed with mummy and Skye - I was a bit tired. Then, DADS comes home! He pets both of us and we shower him with kisses! Get the harness on again and get to go outside at MIDNIGHT! WOOHOO!

Come back in, harness off, back to bed with both pawrents!

LIFE IS GOOD and it's not even Saturday morning!

Uh-oh. Get fed and walked and get penned up on Saturday. We are in there almost all day (well, it seemed like it). At least we slept. Then the pawrents come home and we get to go in the mini (YEAH) again. Skye just closes his eyes - I am looking all around.

Uh-oh. We are at that bath place. I'm not liking this situation. Granted, I stink but I don't like this bath place. Skye is petrified of it. I am furious that I am left here. I get bathed first and I get my hair cut where the "mats" are and my ears get brushed to get the tangles out. YUCK. The weekend is quickly going down the toilet.

Pawrents come and get us - I am SO glad to get outta that place. We get home and I am ready for my princely nap. I sit on mummy's lap and take a snooze. Then Steve, my human brother, comes over and everyone gets busy with taking down that tree that has been in the front room. I supervise.

Then on Sunday, we get our special egg really early. I dont want to eat it. It is not the right time but I cant pass it up so I do consume it. Then we get penned up again! For a long time. What is this.

And when the pawrents come home, we get to go in the mini again (3 times now!) and we go to that dog store called Petsmart. Everyone loves us there. "Oh you are so beautiful", "Oh what lovely dogs - are they girls?" Yeah, like I am a girlie dog. Well the pawrents buy ANOTHER royal x-pen. I thought I was done with the royal x-pens.

DRAT! Dads put the 2 xpens together in the kitchen and we are now spending our alone time in the expanded royal xpen. WHY, you ask? Well, seems like Dads was not appreciative of our chewing on the wall corner and moulding in the kitchen. He made some comment about dogs controling our lives. Not sure what that meant. Now the kitchen is practically all xpen. The eating table where all the food goes is all moved and there is hardly any walking room but Dads is adamant that we will learn something from this. HARUMP.

Not sure I am liking spending time with Skye in the expando royal xpen. We shall see how the days progress....

More Princely Rants

Well it's princely rant time again for the Prince of Alpharetta....

1. It has FINALLY stopped with the all wet falling from the sky. ABOUT TIME! I almost was ready to move. Now I can go outside with confidence. It better not come back anytime soon.

2. Skye needs to back off. He is beginning to get under my fur. What is with his STARING?? He just lays there and stares at me. While I eat, while I gnaw on a bully stick, while I eat a cookie....GEEZ. The boy needs to get a life. I know I am extraordinarly handsome, but the staring has got to cease.

3. Ok and what is with the blowing outside?? It was really alot of blowing. Where does it come from? It blows the leaves all around and they look like they are flying. Makes me wanna chase them.

4. Cant chase the leaves. Why, you ask? Because I am on a lead. Why, you ask? Apparantely, I have been accused of being a bolter. Well, if the palace groundskeeper would invest in a FENCE maybe the need to bolt would cease. Ever think about THAT?

5. Back to Skye..WHY does he want to play with MY toy that I got from MY girlfuriend? ITS MINE. BACK OFF.

6. That laser light thingy that mummy and dads plays with us...what is that? Why do we like it so much? It is like possession by the devil when I see that stick that the light comes from. I wonder if we look like fools playing with the red dot?

7. Oh and back to Skye again. He ratted me out to mummy on the poo eating. What is his problem? Cant he keep his little brother mouth shut? Now she knows its me.

8. When are we going back to WAGGY WORLD??? I need to run really bad. Walkie aren't doing it. Hear that mummy? WALKIES AREN'T CUTTING IT.

ENOUGH ALREADY

THE WET FALLING FROM THE SKY HAS GOT TO STOP!

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

PLU-EEZZEE!!!

What is a prince to do? I hate to get wet, the palace grounds are a swamp and I cannot do my business appropriately outside with all this wet laying around.

U think mummy is mad?? Yeppers. Know why? Because neither Skye or I want to go outside (we put on the brakes very nicely, thank you) and we immediately come into the palace and guess what we do.

You got it.

Little Rants...

I did not get to see Will this weekend....but I smelled him on mummy and dads clothes. They must have been where he goes to when he is not here at the palace.....hmmm why cant I go there??

I also got a real long ride in the mini today. Gosh, I just love the mini. This ride put me to sleep though. I tried to stay awake and look out the window at my adoring public, but I got rather sleepy. Skye just passed out as soon as we got to the top of the street!

Oh and of course I got me my special eggs and mum even put in some chicken which was YUMS!!

Other than that, I just fight alot with Skye over bully sticks. Oh, and the wet is falling from the sky again, so that means that neither of us like to go outside and do our duty. That makes mummy mad. Because you know that means we go inside.

You know, Skye is becoming a real pain in the old you know what. He constantly stares at me and coos and wants my bully stick. I bark and get yelled at to "shut up, Finn". I need to really stick it to him one day....

and finally, I got my ears brushed. Gosh I hate that.

Maybe something exciting will happen this week. I am beginning to be bored. I do know that come next month, it's MY BIRTHDAY MONTH and I hope lots and lots of special stuff happens. Unfortunately, it's Skye's BD month too - just 2 days after me! HOW OBNOXIOUS IS THAT????

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Wow! You know what - another YEAR is coming tonight! Yep, another year and the wonderful year that I was born in (oh and Skye too) will be HIS-TOR-IE!

Mummy is home today and she is all about cleaning everything. Even me and Skye. We got baths. Not that I like them, but at least I smell real good AND I got to go for a ride in the MINI!! I LOVE THE MINI! I look quite the prince in it, you know. Skye just lays there like he is gonna throw up or something.

Oh, and we got these special nylabones that look like real bones and taste like beouf. That is french for beef, you know. I am trying to smarten myself up, since I am a prince and all and I must be very worldly.

Oh and guess what...I heard dads telling mummy that he will be home early today. Something about that football stuff again. Some kind of bowl game that they are going to. How does one play football in a bowl? Sounds pretty stupid if you ask me. They are gonna meet up with my human brothers who are currently tailgating at the bowl game. Now that is even more stupid. Why are they gating tails? And whats that got to do with a bowl and football? Sounds pretty suspect.

Oh and daddy so wanted his real football stuff today but it did not come in the mail. He likes this football team called Wigan something or other. Mummy just laughs and says real football is Liverpool, not Wigan. But he got his self some more Wigan football stuff called kits and jackets..on sale. Mum says they should be dollar store fodder.

Well, 2009 iwill be FANTASTIC! I turn a big old 1 year old in 2009 and I hope I get me a big ole pawty!! I just wish I could kiss my sweet Becky at midnight tonite.

Oh Oh - I do want to wish ALL my WONDERFUL Dogster buds a very Merry New Year and especially all my cavalier corner buddies! They are the bestest furiends EVER!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!!!

It was the bestest Christmas EVER!

I had to have the BESTEST Christmas EVER! Well, it is only my first one, but it was the BESTEST yet! Here is why:

1. Mummy and dads stayed home for 5 straight days! And Skye and me got all the attention.

2. Will came over. We played. We conquered. We're cute.

3. I got to ride IN THE MINI! I just LOVE the mini. Skye got car sick.

4. Mums special eggs multiple times in the morning. How great is THAT???

5. The pawrents slept in after the 5am bathroom break. YIPPEEEE!

6. I got the bestest present from my lovely lady, Miss Becky. And I just love her card she sent me.

7. I got more cards than anyone in this palace (except for Skye). Well, after all, I AM A PRINCE!

8. Three stockings filled with goodies! Count em - THREE!! Am I special or WHAT??!!

9. Winston came over and me and Will played with him. Winston is my half brother. He is not a SMRT as me. But he's okay. Kinda feel bad. Nobody played with Skye. He stuck by Dads alot. And played with this stupid toy he got in his stocking. Some annoying reindeer that sings. Gimme a bully stick any day.

10. Laser light chasing almost every nite!

11. Oh did I mention that Will and I got to spend Christmas together???

12. Sleepy time with mummy on the throne by the telly. I wrapped myself around her neck. Loved it.

13. Dancing with mummy to Christmas music.

Yep, I would say that about sums it up. Greatest Christmas EVER!!!!

Split leads and Parcel Wrapping and Dancing!

Wow! Mummy came home early today and caught us both sleeping! Was I surprised! She bundled us up in our horrendous holiday sweaters and took us out for a walkie in the cold. And boy is it cold! I guess I was kinda glad that she put that stupid sweater on me. But the worst was that she got this thing called a split lead. Not good. I want to go where I WANT TO GO! I dont want to be dragging Skye all about. Well, that is exactly what this silly split lead does. I could not get good sniffs and leg lifts in on mail posts with Mr. Skye all up in my business. So, she better think twice about putting me on THAT thing again.

Then, after that most ugly walkie, we came back in and we got a bully stick. Okay. I can live with the split lead if it means I get me a bully stick afterward.

Oh, then the parcel wrapping began. Mummy dragged out all these things from the closet. And then she started wrapping them. I was not a bit interested until I smelt something that needed my attention. You know, smells like bully sticks! She put them in this stocking thingy and told me to mind my own business. I wonder if we will get presents soon. Looks like it. Presents for the Prince!!!!

Skye has absolutely no clue about the paper wrapping and bully stick smell. Totally oblivious. THAT is why he is only a Duke and not a Prince.

Something is building up in this palace though. Mummy made a list (and something ALWAYS happens when mummy gets into list making mode) and is talking to dads about food. Roasts and some kind of pudding. I can do a roast - I know what that is and they are good. Mummy doesn't make a big supper anymore and I think she is going to make a "Sunday" roast for Christmas - Dad's favorite. I wonder if this will be like Thanksgiving where all the furs are over and we can run and play and drive everyone crazy!! I sure hope so!

And something special happened today whilst mummy was wrapping. She listens to this Christmas song box and there was a song on and her and me started to dance! I love to dance with mum! She picks me up and we swing and move and turn and I just love it! I give her big licks when we dance. She seems to be in such a good mood today (could be because I pooped outside and she looked at the stuff and said GOOD BOY - She is Professor Poop).

What a wonderful world!!
