Tina's Diary

I truly don't understand...

Mom let all of us out to play in the backyard last night. The weather was chilly and that makes me “super spunky”!! As soon as we got out there I saw something that I really wanted to play with. It wasn’t my brother Braun, it wasn’t my sister Tina, it wasn’t my sister Ginger…it was a CHIPMUNK! I chased it around the yard and it ran under the porch. I could hear mom yelling my name and I appreciated her “cheering me on”. Once my new furriend ran under the porch all of my furry family closed in on it from all corners. At that point mom was screaming and jumping on the porch. That made Braun and Ginger go inside immediately but Austin and I still wanted to play. But, for some reason the Chipmunk was no longer in the mood. It just layed there. I think it was playing possum.

Anywho…mom kept yelling, Alvin (i named the chipmunk that) was playing dead so Austin and I decided to go on in the house. Next thing you know mom is telling daddy that I have blood on my paws and she is yelling at Austin “bad girl” because she had blood on her too. I was so freakin lost at this point. Next thing you know – we are in the bath tub and banned from the human bed for the rest of the evening.

I truly don’t understand. Did we do something wrong?

By the way, to all of our friends that like to come over and hang out…be careful next time you come by because I heard mom telling daddy we had animal killers living amongst us. I am frightened. Hope they go away soon!

Birthday with Daddy

Me and Daddy celebrated our birthday together this weekend. Daddy's birthday is on the 26th and mine the 24th so Mommy made a plan for all of us to go to the park and play and run and meet new furriends. I didn't really like having to wear a leash on my birthday but I did anyway. Daddy got cake and I got a stuffed buffalo! I think I won out on the present end of things. I also got these new treats called Canadian Beggins. They are like Beggin Strips but made like Canadian Bacon. I shared some with my furramily and they loved them too.

I can't wait until another birthday rolls around because it seems like all of us get to celebrate as if it were our own personal day. Nothing better than family!

Smelly Clothes Rule!

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE lying in the laundry closet while mommy takes a shower in the morning before work. I started doing it while daddy is showering too! I just love the smell of my parent’s dirty clothes. Mom’s not sure why but thinks it is super cute. Lately it has been a little chilly in the mornings so she has a heater in there and that is EVEN BETTER! Now mommy has to use promises of “going outside” or “treat” to get me out of the closet before she leaves for work. Otherwise, it is a struggle for her to get me out because I might look tiny but I can paste my body to the floor with the best of them! Mom added a pic of me in the clothes closet in my Dogster Plus photos.

p.s. for those of you who recall months back when mommy accidentally closed me in the bathroom before leaving for work and I ate my way out – she hasn’t done that again – he he he he he! Mom added those destruction photos to my Dogster Plus photos back when it happened and many ppl were amazed lil ol me could do such damage. It’s the little ones you gotta look out for!
