Shots, Shots and More SHOTS

ok. I watch commercials on television while mom and dad aren't looking and I am aware that we are to have yearly vaccines. However, I am confused why we had to go to the vet this past weekend b/c we already had our vaccines for the year.

All I know is I have been chillin' out around the house and scratching/biting on myself quite a bit. Then I wake up one beautiful Saturday morning and mom is loading me and my brother Braun in the car. I am sooo confused when we turn down the road to go to the vet. Even more confused when we pull into the vet's parking lot.

Turns out, the vet wanted to give us another SHOT because we (apparently) have seasonal skin allergies. I am not sure they know what they are talking about so I am really not interested in another shot. But...I wasn't given a choice.

Well, the itching has died down quite a bit but I am still not convinced it was the shot. I just lick myself more. Right! No need for more shots! I'm telling daddy!

Peticure's are overrated!

So...grandpa came over yesterday for our regular Tuesday night dinner and sleep over. He usually gets to our house hours before mom and dad get home from work. I was soo happy to see him when he came in that I wanted to hug him and by accident I cut his arm with my toenails. I didn't mean to. Grandpa has very sensitive skin because he is a little older so I try not to hurt him. When mom came home and saw the injury to grandpa's arm she decided I needed my nails trimmed again.

I am a very skittish dog b/c I had a very hard life b/f mom and dad saved me and I really don't like anything that makes noise. Mom and dad doesn't like taking me or my siblings to the vet for nail trims b/c it is traumatic when they accidentally go too far so, to make life a little bit easier they invested in a Peticure machine. My brother and sisters do not seem to mind it at all but I hate it. Everytime they give me a Peticure I lay on my back while daddy rubs my tummy and mommy does the dirty work. Though this might sound good to some of you dogs out there, I do not find it relaxing at all. As a matter of fact, I am sure I have eye strain from having "bug eyes" the entire time.

What confuses me more is that mommy gets very excited when she gets to get a pedicure. She leaves the house every other Saturday to get it done and when she comes back she tells daddy about the great massage chair she got to sit in and the movie that was playing while she got it done. I wonder what vet clinic she is going to. My vet has cold steel tables and videos about other dogs getting shots and stuff. Maybe if I went to her vet I would like it more. Dunno.

Oh well, the end result is obvious. I am getting a Peticure tonight:-(

Whose couch is it anyway???

So everyone who knows me knows I own the loveseat in the living room. Mom and dad are kind enough to keep blankets over the loveseat so I am comfy (or they are trying to keep the hair off the couch) and even have backup blankets in case I drool while eating a bone, come in from the back yard on a rainy day and jump on my loveseat, etc.

Well, mom and dad wanted to watch a movie on the "big tv" in my living room (where my loveseat is) and I was ok with that. But...mom's neck has been bothering her for about a month and she decided she needed to be on the loveseat, facing forward, to avoid aggravating same. I guess she did a good job at not aggravating her sore neck but she sure aggravated me. I had to lay on the floor amongst millions of toys with my brother and sisters.

Now I am not saying that I don't care about her neck pain. NOOO! I LOVE HER VERY MUCH! I am simply saying she could have shared the loveseat. I'm sure everyone agrees with me:)

Why the long face?

I heard mom tell dad today that we needed a bath. WHY?????? I am soooo beautiful. Can anyone explain this to me???? Oh well, at least I get to get REAL CLOSE TO DAD during my bath time. That is sooo worth it.
