It’s a somber Day today Diary

It’s a somber Day today Diary,

I am laying here on my moms lap licking the tears from her cheeks as she remembers all that happened on 9 11; so, to all that lost there lives on that day you are in our prayers. May our people never forget what happened that day but always grow from what they learned. And to all my Doggie friends give your people pack a little extra Doggie kisses, they are going to need it.

A somber,
Colin Doggie

The sooner Boy gets over this whole adolescents thing the- better!

Hey Diary,

Wow I can’t believe that it’s Friday already? Where did the week go? We seem to be falling back into our old routine here fairly easy. Boy’s getting so big it’s a little scary at times. I have to grrr him every once and a while to keep him in his place so he doesn’t start thinking he’s old enough to try bullying and bossing me around. Just because I’m on the petite side doesn’t mean you can take me lightly. And you know how teenagers are, always trying to rock the pecking order. Mom, Grumppa, me then Boy, that’s how it goes around here, and sometime I still try to nudge Grump down a peg, so the sooner Boy gets over this whole adolescents thing the better. Then we can all go back to our favorite activity, loving and adoring the Doggie.

But Mom told me it was a long weekend this weekend...

I been so cheated, I tell you life is not fair. Mom told me it was a long weekend this weekend, and what do I see when I wake up? Grumps gone off to work, now what’s up with that? He should be home lazing with me like we do every weekend. The man has some explaining to do when he comes home, we will see then if I even feel like welcoming him home with a grrr session. Sometimes you have to suffer to make a point!

The timeworn old days, when I was still just a young little- Doggie…

Hey Diary,

Wow, what a week it's been. First it was the uninvited guest, braving the wind to post a local weather report, then tubby after tubby. I tell you mom has no sense of humor about scratching, whatsoever, at all. It’s only Thursday and I have had two baths already this week. Sometime I don’t think she gets what it’s like to be a dog at all. I mean like it wasn’t bad enough I had to take the second tubby but she read I wouldn’t be so itchy if I didn’t use a dryer. I mean really do you have any idea what my fur looks like when I let it do its own thing. Just look at the photos of me with noodle and you will see what I mean. The only bright note was I am a big boy now and don’t wine when Mom turns on the sprayer and the tubs go so much quicker now. Mom was proud of me, wonder if it gets me brownie points? So maybe that why I got to walk to the Farmer Market with mom today.

Oh yea back to the photos that reminded me Boy went back to school this week. Mom got me into a football jersey in his schools colors so I could show, don’t tell anyone but my “Tiger Pride” It’s about time that Boy went back to school, it makes it a lot easier to keep track of him during the school year and he has to stay around home a lot more too. We are having a hard time believing boys getting as big as he is, all ready in high school, what happened to our little guy?

Think I will hop up in my window and muse over with Mr. Noodle about the timeworn old days, when I was still just a young little Doggie…

Some days it’s good to be a Recycled Doggie.

Yea, Mom and I are taking a walk to the farmers market today. I so can not wait till we go. I will be sure to update you later with a Doggie update. Be sure to gander back in. Some days it’s very good to be The Recycled Doggie.

Maybe mom will let me roam around free in the yard

Hope everyone made it threw Irene's visit okay. Seemed like the worst part of it over here was the bath thing, and having to take my outdoor pen down. Maybe mom will let me roam around free in the yard while she cleans up today. Wish me luck with that.

Your Weather Doggie

Visit with Irene

Well everybody, she is getting closer. I was just thinking it wouldn't be a bad visit because the power went out so my bath got cancelled, yea!

Then the lights came back and we took a peak outside to see what it looked liked. Yucky and Wet that what it looked like, and then to make things worst mom tricked me when I walked back inside, Well your already wet she says, may as well take a tubbie?

Starting to not like Irene so much!

Colin Doggie

So all I can say is I’m keeping my paws crossed over here- that Irene won’t be so scary in person.

Hey Diary,

Hey did you guys here, somebody named Irene is coming by. Boy is she slower than I thought because it seems like we have been waiting for days for her to get here. I can never figure out what makes some good guest and others not: they all seem to smell the same way to me. I’m not sure what I think about her yet but it doesn’t sound like the family thinks highly of her, but I keeping an open mind about her. I mean I did get to go outside and roll around in the grass while Mom picked up the yard yesterday; plus then she stayed in with me all night because she was tired and didn’t go out with Grumppa. There’s all ready two points in her favor, and plus she picked boy up a day early as well so she wouldn’t have to leave at all tomorrow.

So all I can say is I’m keeping my paws crossed over here that Irene won’t be so scary in person. Hope all are safe on the East Coast.

She may as well have painted them pink on me!

Hey Diary,

Man, sometimes my mom can be so heartless, like yesterday when my Auntie Laura came to pick up our god-boy Zack. I was wagging from head to toe because she came up to say hi to me and adore the Doggie, as she should. And out of the blue I hear those dreaded words, “can you trim Doggie nails for me while your here”? What was I to do; I was trapped on her lap. Oh the shame of it all, Grumps tried to help me but those heartless women both told him to hush and they continued to torture me. Then as if that wasn’t insulting enough, mom made me sit still so she could file them down after, right in front of Grumppa. Nothing like snatching my manhood out from under me, how is he going to take me serous now during our grrr sessions? She may as well have painted them pink on me.

Things are pretty quiet around here this weekend!

Hey Diary,

Things are pretty quiet around here this weekend because for once Jayden didn’t come for a sleep over. At least my boy came home this week, and it is certainly good to have him home again because I don’t get stuck home alone when Norna goes out with grumps with boy to lounge with. I think he might be sick or something however because he’s been overly nice to me since he got home. I am going to have to talk to Norna about maybe worming him to be on the safe side. You never know and I would hate to catch anything off him. Its bad enough that I on mom’s dodo list from the walk earlier, I don’t need to get sick too.

What, why am I on the dodo list you ask? After my walk lately mom has been letting me run around in the yard to blow off steam, and I usably turn right around when she calls me, but I hadn’t been out for a few days and the girl downstairs threw some food out for the squirrels, and I guess I didn’t pay attention to mom when she called me. I heard her tell Grump that I lost my yard rights for a few days. Well golly, how was I suppose to resist going to peek at what was out there. It’s not like I ran off or anything. Oh well, maybe if I turn on the Doggie charm I can win her over.

Well got to run and start doing a little kissing up to get on Mom’s good side again.

Till next time diary
