Life With One Neuron

A new herd

A few months ago, my Mom totaled the lawn mower. It was always wrecking on our toys and sticks and stuff hiding in the grass. So mom got sheep! There's 2 of them, "Kibbles" and "Bit." Every day I hang out in the yard with them while mom's at work. They don't cuddle with me like the steer we had did. But they're quiet companions. My bro Hoolie and Sis Bullet think they're lunch. They've been troublemakers so they get fewer yard privileges. Whatever, now I get the porch beds to myself. Yay! It's been a hot Summer. Hope all you doggies out there are doing well!

Today's my Birthday

I'm 7 years old, still going strong. This year's birthday's kinda crappy though. I'm stuck in the house all day! For over a week now me and my brother and sisters have all been sick. No parasites, no giardia. The Dr's kind of perplexed at why we're all sick at once. We're normally a very healthy bunch! So the Dr recommended the dreaded fast: No food for 24 hours!!! I thought mom was kidding when she said we weren't getting dinner last night. That was the longest night ever. Today we got breakfast, some prescription bland food, but not as much as I'm used to getting. So I'm a bit hungry again now, can't wait for dinner. The good news is that during and since the fast, no one "tossed their cookies." Mom's watching us like a hawk. Boy did Hooligan get busted when he tried for a snack from the kitty box! I'm going to see if mom will take me on a birthday walk. The dog park has been vetoed due to our sickness. Wish me luck!

Were my ancestors really from Russia?

Yesterday I went to the snow for the first time. Mom kept telling me I'd love it, but she was wrong. I tried to walk and I just sank, all the way to my elbows! Sometimes my feet would sink, sometimes they wouldn't, that really bugged me. It was so weird. Whenever we stopped I lay down. That way I didn't sink. Mom says next time we'll go to snow that isn't very deep. I hope there's a couch next time.
