Bow Wow, it's been a long time since I have been on here. Mom has me a page on facebook now and that's where I have been. There's not a whole lot new to say except it's time for Thanksgiving and Christmas again. I am so thankful I have a good family and I know they love me cause they spoil me. Mom even hand feeds me, keeps me clean, plays with me and Papa Jim lets me sleep in his chair all the time. Parker and Abby are still with me. I love those guys. We are playing now. Mom lets me go visit Grandmoma sometimes and I get to play with Cotton. He shares his bones with me. He is a boxer so he is BIG but he is so gentle. He loves me too and loves when I come to visit. I know where Grandmoma keeps the bones! Well gotta go for now but I will return real soon. Mom and Angela have a bet for the Auburn, Alabama game so I am looking forward to the fun we are going to have Friday. If Alabama wins, Angela will have to stand in the front yard yelling I am the biggest loser with her Auburn shirt, hat and sweats on. haha that will be so funny. I can't wait. Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Love all you guys!

Messy Night

Last night Mom and Dad went out to eat. Parker stole Mom's peanut butter and crackers off her table in the living room. He tore into that package like there was no tomorrow thinking he had hit gold. I helped him eat all of those crackers though. That was fun. But I paid for it later. Mom had just gone to bed around 1:00. At 1:30 the urge hit me. WOOF! nobody answered. WOOF I said a little louder. WOOF! WOOF! Mom got up, but by that time it was too late. I left a trail of runny poop all the way to the back door. Mom let me out and I ran all around the back yard just to find that special spot. Whew! that's a relief. She calls me back in. Whoops I'm not ready. I have to go back out because I see the mess in the hall. She gets out the cleaner and her little electric scrubber. My poor Mom is scrubbing the carpet at 1:30 AM. I felt so bad and embarrassed. She said it was alright though. Dad and Parker got up too. Now it's 2:00 AM and we all are sitting up watching TV but I have to go night night. Mom goes night night. Mom doesn't get up to fix Dad breakfast this morning and he wanted a bacon sandwich. She overslept. Mom, Dad, I am so sorry for the messy night we all had. I hope that doesn't happen again. I feel much better today. Mom made sure I had a piece of cheese this morning. I will sleep all day but Mom and Dad will have it ruff today.
But I luff them and that's all that matters. RIGHT? RIGHT?

Lazy Dog

Haven't written anything in a while. I've just been lazy. Mom and Dad have been just laying around too and Mom hasn't felt good. She did give me a bath today because she said I smelled awful. Just cuz I threw up a couple of times and she thinks I stink! I have gained some weight and can't wait till summer gets here. Maybe I can exercise a little more. It's too cold to stay outside for very long these days.
My sister Ashley did not come home. We could not find her. I think somebody may have gotten her. I hope they are giving her a good home. Mom was so sick because we lost her!
Parker has kinda taken over the house and Mom has been trying to set him straight. I can hang with him for a little while but then he gets in trouble and I get away from him so I don't get in trouble too. He has torn all my toys up. He chews and chews until they are dogmolished! Mom buys me new ones though when she goes to Walmart.
Gotta go for now, Mom says it's night, night time. That means we have to turn off all the lights and go to bed. Sometimes I still hear somebody up though. They just talk and talk. Dad said it was Mom's police radio. Whew! thank goodness. I was beginning to think we had ghost!

Christmas Grooming

I got my 3 month grooming yesterday. I was so happy to see the stranger pull up in our driveway and come down the sidewalk until I realized who it was. Then I started shaking. They took me to the truck and gave me a warm bath and a wonderful hot oil treatment for my skin. Don't know if that's gonna work yet. "Goin to the Dogs" is my favorite groomers. Robyn and Erin are so sweet and loving. They make sure I am taken care of. They come to my house so Mom doesn't have to leave me somewhere. Mom and Dad came out to the truck to visit me while I was getting pretty. And pretty I turned out to be! I strutted in the house with my Christmas bandana on and Parker thought Christmas had arrived. He smelled me and I know I smelled pretty, cause he started kissing me. Mom and Dad took lots of pictures of me in front of the tree. I truly do look beautiful. Thanks
Robyn and Erin for a job well done! Pawy Christmas everybody.

It's been 3 weeks since we've seen Ashley. I guess she's gone. Mom has been so sad and we have looked everywhere for her. It's Christmas time and Mom said she always loved christmas. I'm so sorry Mom.


I have had such itchy skin lately. Mom has given me a bath, flea meds and Vcaps with vitamin E and fish oil. Even Benadryl. Nothing seems to be working. I have even had to eat lamb and rice food. I still ITCH!!
Mom rubs my hot spots with vitamin E and that seems to feel better but then I lick it off. Yummy! Parker doesn't have a problem but Abby does. What are we girls to do?
I think I have been sad lately cuz Mom has been. I sleep alot and don't really want to play too much. I will not let Mom touch me unless we are playing or unless she is feeding my some goodies. Then she's all mine!
Parker likes to lay in her lap. But not me. I prefer to lay on the floor. I think it's cooler. He's such a wimp anyway.
Well those holidays are coming and I can feel the excitement in the air. Mom has presents under our tree and I just know they are all for me. I know she has me a surprise under there. The holidays are people that come and are gone in one day. They don't stay long. Thank goodness mom says. We have been planning for their visit for awhile now, getting the house all ready and stuff. Seems a shame to waste all that time just for one day! The holidays must be great though or we would not go through all this trouble for them. She says they are bringing us peace and joy whatever that is. I hope they are great to nibble on.
Gotta go for now. I hafta go potty.
Love to all until next time.

Missing Family

Part of my family is missing. Ashley was last seen Friday after Thanksgiving. Mom has been upset and has cried. We have looked for her every where but can't find her. There was some big dogs roaming the neighborhood and we think the worst.

I Was A Bad Dog!

Mom, Dad and Angela cleaned carpets the other night and brought out a bigger monster that usual. It made the carpet wet and it smelled good too. Mom says now she can put up the tree? A tree inside the house? Have you ever heard of such a thing? We'll see what that's all about. Sounds like doggie time to me. Hope there are some squirrels in it or maybe a cat or 2.
Yesterday it was raining cats and dogs. It was a pawful day. I did go outside a couple of times though and got my paws wet and muddy. Mom got some baby wipes and tried to clean my paws. I really didn't like her doing that cause I'm not a baby but when she bent down to kiss me I snapped at her. She made me mad. Imagine trying to be kissed after you go outside and wash your feet in the mud and someone tries to clean it off! I didn't bite her but I nipped her lip. OOOOHH was she mad! She pointed her finger at me and talked to me in a very loud, mean voice. She put me down and didn't speak to me for a few minutes. Then she came to pick me up and hugged me. I was okay and she was okay by then. I don't know what made me do that but I will never do it again. I tried to make it up to her by climbing in her chair and spending some time with her. She loves me I know. That is the second scolding I have ever gotten from her. The first time was when she caught me in the middle of the cat box eating those delightful treats that Ashley leaves me sometimes.
Well today is a bootiful day and I am happy again. It's cold outside but I wuff it that way. Everybody in the house is getting a little excited about somebody called Holidays. Does that have anything to do with that big bird or the smell of the pies that are cooking?
Well I have to go for now because Parker and Abby are up, Dad is gone and it is play time! Ruff, Ruff. Now, where did those two go? Parker! Abby! come out, come out where ever you are. Are we playing hide and seek? I wanna play pull toy and wrestle. OOps gotta go take my pill first says Mom. I will be nice today, I will be nice today, I will be nice today!

Rainy Day

It's 5:30 AM and nobody except Mom is up. Time to rise and shine! Woof, Woof. Papa Jim is not moving. Woof, Woof. Mom comes to get me and puts me in the bed with him. (their bed is too high for me to jump.) I paw at him and he wakes up and gives me kisses and hugs. Now I can go potty and check on Abby and Parker. It's sprinkling outside. I wuff to scamper around in the rain. Mom says it makes me look like a raggamuffin especially when my hair is long. I like to go find treats I have buried. When I come in Mom has to wash my paws. I don't like that. I don't know what the big deal is!
They are fine so now it's time for my morning snooze. I pound on the door and Mom comes running to let me in. I prance in and look for my snoozing place. Ahhhh!! My life is great! Nothing like a warm place to lay on and listen to the sounds of morning. TV, Microwave, Papa Jim, Mom, and Parker and Abby scratching on the back door wanting in. Mom will let them in shortly. But first it's all about ME. This is my time for all the attention. I miss being the only doggie in the family even though I wuff Parker and Abby. But they need us at this time in their life. We try to make it as comfortable as possible for them. They get to sleep in when it's cold. But they eat my food then I don't have any when I want it. Oh well at least they are happy.
Now where was I? OH Yeah, nap time. ZZZZzzzzzzzz.

Just another Tuesday

Jus a nutter tuesday for me. Spent the day sleeping and playing with Parker. He is so much fun. Mom played red light but Parker chased me instead of the light and he made me mad so I tackled him. He bit my ear and I bit his tail. He hid behind Dad. He's such a scaredy cat. Meow! Meow. Ashley popped him on the butt too as he walked by her. Poor Parker. I have been in and out all day long. I can't decide what I want to do. It's bootiful outside but it's quiet inside. So I just enjoy the best of both worlds. Mom says I am so spoiled. She bought me a new toy, but I haven't had time to play with it. She gave me my special treat last night after she brushed me real good. Man was it dog gone good! Gotta go for now. Hopefully something more exciting will happen this week. I gotta see what I can do about that!

Ah it's Sunday again

Today has been another lazy day for me. I woke Mom up at 2:00 this morning. I didn't need to potty, I just wanted her up. She went back to bed so I tried it again at 7:00. That worked. She got up, made that stuff called coffee and went to get the paper. Again I fooled her. I didn't want to go potty. I just wanted her UP!! I layed back down and got up around 8:30. Then, I went to potty. I think Mom was a little doggravated at me.
Dad had to run into work for a little bit so I have been guarding the front door waiting for his return. RUFFFF ,RUFFF, RUFFF,Bigs dogs walking down the road, I have to get out fast to scare them off. Hurry Mom, let me out! Whimper, She's so slow. Bow Wow, Parker and Abby beat me to the fence. I did get the last 2 cents in though. I have to patrol the fence to make sure nobody marked anything anywhere. It's my yard you know.
I'm knocking on the door. Now, let me back in. Hurry before Papa Jim gets back.
In and out, In and out. That's been Mom's agenda today. But she knows when I wag my tail, I am smiling at her. I luff her.
