Momma has tried to put a new video on my page showing me ripping open a package received for Christmas but for some reason Dogster isn’t allowing it. Is anyone else having problems down loading videos?

12/23/11 Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

Please let me tell you MY sides of the story before you decide if I should be on the Naughty or Nice list.

In my defense I would like to say that Coco has been taunting me with that Busy Bone she has been carrying around for weeks now. She has been consumed with it and if I get anyplace close by she starts to yap in my face telling me that it’s hers and that I have to leave it alone. At no time during these two weeks has she even nibbled on the Busy Bone instead she sleeps with it and carries it everyplace she goes. She even takes it to the back door when she has to go outside to do her business.

Anyhow, I could not take it any longer so today when she took my raccoon toy I thought it was only fair to take her Busy Bone, so while she was making MY raccoon squeak, I hobbled over to her Busy Bone and took it and started eating it. Let me tell you little Miss Princess was UPSET! Her eyes looked like they were going to pop right out of her head. I only nibbled on it long enough for her to drop MY raccoon and then I went and rescued it from her and she ran and got her Busy Bone.

Quite frankly I think she got what she deserved and I don’t think what I did should in any way put me back onto the Naughty list. I hope you agree and look forward to leaving you some really nice treats when you visit our home on Christmas Eve. I suspect you get pretty tired of milk and cookies so how about some Salsa, chips and Margaritas?

What momma?

Oh sorry Santa, momma says no drinking and driving so how about a nice roast beef sandwich and Pepsi?

12/21/11 Arleenton as a house bunny

Coco and I came in from outside and looked up on the formal dining room table where Arleenton is being held in a small pet carrier until the tempertures warm up outside. There she was on her side not moving.

Momma, you better check on Arleenton we barked.

Momma goes over to Arleenton and calls her name - Arleenton. ARLEENTON!! There was no reaction. Momma's heart was thumping because it looked like Arleenton had died.

Momma opened the door on the carrier and that startled Arleenton who just happened to be sleeping - BOL, BOL

That ole bunny is liking it in the house. She is gaining some weight back and appears to be happy. I think we should just let her stay in the house. We don't even use the formal dining room table so why not let Arleenton stay?

Puffy - Will this put me on the "NICE" list Santa?????

12/11/11 Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

Could you please explain the "NAUGHTY and NICE" list you have going? Do you grade using the curve when figering out which side to place pups on?

In my defense, I ask you to please put yourself in my shoes before deciding if I have been NAUGHTY or NICE.

12/06/11 My bunny sister

My bunny sister Arleenton has not been feeling well lately. She has lost weight and has not been eating very much so yesterday momma got out one of the kitty carriers and put lots of hay and stuff on the bottom of it, then she placed Arleenton in the carrier and brought her into the house. The carrier is now on top of the formal dinning room table because I refused to leave her alone (I was just trying to open the carrier so she could come out and play – REALLY)!!! It has been cold at night and although Arleenton’s hutch has covers on it the wind has been blowing hard so she must have been getting too cold. Now that she is in the house she has warmed up and is again eating. The kitties have been visiting her and I think she likes being in the house. I really wish momma would let me play with her.

12/05/11 WHAT!!!!!

This morning momma was up really early working on the quilt that she is making for daddy. When she took a break she turned on the computer and checked the weather conditions in New Mexico where we will be moving to. They were expecting snow, with a high of 23 degrees and the low tonight to be -5 degrees. WHAT!!!??? -5 degrees!!! Are they kidding?

Currently in California it is 52 degrees, sunny and the low tonight will be 33 degrees. I should point out that both humans have been complaining about being cold and that our heater has been running. What are they going to do when they actually encounter COLD temperatures?

Daddy says momma and he plan on hibernating during the cold winter months and I will be right next to my momma snuggling with her as we sleep under the electric blanket turned up full blast - BOL, BOL

I want to know what the humans are going to do about the bathroom facilities for Coco and I. It doesn't seem right that we will be forced to endure freezing temperatures. If I am forced to go outside in these types of conditions would my pee turn to icicles that freeze to my male hood and my lifting leg get stuck in the upward and outward position? Will my little feet be prone to frostbite along with every part of my body that is subjected to these harsh conditions?

I think the humans better address these concerns or else Coco and I might be forced to start looking for better accommodations.

11/29/11 Visit to Santa Claus - NOT!!!!

Coco and I went to the groomers this morning: Got shampooed, dried; combed and even pedicures. Momma said she would take us to the mall afterwards and let us give Santa our Christmas list. I was ready and looking really good.

So how come we didn't get to go see Santa?

Momma said the groomers had to take a lot of hair off of Coco's head and momma wasn't too very happy with the "new look" so she decided not to take us to see Santa and have a picture taken.

Instead, she bought us a stuffed Santa toy to play with - do you think I should tell my new stuffie what I want for Christmas?

Puffy all prettied up and no place to go...

11/26/11 What a day!

Yesterday, the humans bought a new shed for the backyard and it’s huge, well bigger than the beat up metal one that they had. Daddy had to empty the old shed and dismantle it, and then he had to go buy the new Rubbermaid shed, rent a truck to get it home, take each part of the shed out of the box one at a time and carry them to the back yard. After the first day he was tired and said enough for one day. Today he and momma assembled the shed put it all together and it took him and momma hours. I was outside with them supervising and going in and out of the shed and checking out all of the stuff that was spread around in our back yard. I was having lots of fun “helping”.

11/24/11 The case of the missing turkey

It has been brought to my attention that our Thanksgiving turkey is MISSING!!! Here it is Thanksgiving Day and we do not have a turkey because someone stole it from the refrigerator. Yup, the spot where tom turkey had been residing on the bottom shelf of the fridge is empty. A quick scan of the contents of the fridge revealed only the turkey was missing.

Certainly a dead turkey could not open the fridge door and hop out on its own, so I decide to use my detective skills to track down the culprit who stole MY turkey. I’m embarrassed to say that my first thought was that Ebony and Ceeley had snuck over during the night and helped themselves to the turkey but once my detective mentality kicked in I realized that even Ebby and her fursister would not stoop that low especially since the turkey wasn’t cooked. Now had the refrigerator been full of yummy cooked MEATZ maybe Ebby and Ceeley might have “borrowed” something, but not an uncooked turkey - HeHeHe

I looked for clues around the kitchen and house but nothing seemed out of place except for the fact that tom turkey was gone. All the windows and doors were secure and there was nothing indicating someone had tip-toed in during the night and stole MY turkey.

Who could have possibly been smart enough to pull off such a task? Maybe Zaidie could because he has a driver’s license and has his own MEATZ Mobile. I thought about this for a whole second and then decide he would be crazy to come all the way from Canada just for a turkey so he was crossed off the suspect list. I love you Zaidie and am sorry I even thought you might have done this but lets face it, it would have been a pretty good prank.

How about Demon Flash Bandit? He and his co-conspirator Angel Zoom Smokey certainly are capable of traveling long distances and could have easily make a surprise visit, but they both are more social dogs and have very good manners so coming in uninvited and taking something would not be something they would do, so I crossed them off the list also.

Maybe it was Whitley because she spent a lot of time helping her momma study so she could pass the bar exam therefore she is one cleaver pup. Again I had to stop and think about this and once again I determined that since Whitley is a super smart pup she would never risk being disbarred by getting an arrest record so she too was off the suspect list. Just as I was crossing Whitley off the list I had another thought maybe Whitley got Finley to help but I had to revert back to my original thinking that neither of the girls would take something that did not belong to them so they too were removed from the suspect list.

My mind was racing and my stomach was growling. I was beyond hungry and was getting very agitated to say the least. I had been looking forward to having some nice cooked turkey for my dinner tonight and now the darn turkey had been taken. Who might have done such a thing? Think, think I was saying to myself and all of a sudden my little brain was telling me that maybe instead of looking for possible suspects I should eliminate those that I was sure had not taken the turkey. I knew it wasn’t Professor Chester as he would not risk loosing his chair at the collage. I could cross off Toto, Harvey, Ali, Beanster and the rest of his pack because they were probably outside playing in the snow and would not want to come my way because we had no snow. I even crossed off the Beesuns pups Bacon and Beanie because the distance was too far even though they have both been know to roam a bit. Mazy was certainly off the list since she has a farm full of animals and would not need one dead turkey in California – BOL, BOL. Distance also eliminated Redford, Cooper, Ella, Buttercup, Milo, Lobo, Dent, Grunt, Thunder, Ms. Alex, Abby, Lexi, Reilly, Doo, Walker, Samwise, Jack Freckles, Destiny, Chance, Austin, Buzz, Halo, Maxwell, Sox, Dora, Coffee, Biscotte, Missy, Finnigan, Zoe, Shiloh, Fizzy, Pepper, Bailey, Sully, Socks, Mackie and Isabella.

Now it was time to concentrate on those pups that live closer and might have had an opportunity to come to my house and walked off with MY turkey. There was Hershey but even though he lives in the same state it would be quite a drive to come all the way down here just for a turkey so it just didn’t seem likely, plus he is a new driver therefore, I think it is safe to eliminate him. Could Anya have come over and walked away with the turkey? No, she is a service dog and they have excellent training - she would never leave her momma unattented. How about those Chihuahua sisters Tinker Bell, Halo and Shyla? They are about 2 hours away as are Tanner and Arnold could one of them be smacking their lips right now getting ready to eat MY turkey? Somehow my inner voice told me none of them had anything to do with the missing turkey. Luna, Hobo and Milo are even closer but I’m sure they would not take my turkey because they are my pals. So who took the darn turkey?

It was then that I spotted Coco Rose under the daybed trying to hide something. She was drooling uncontrollably making a big mess on the dog bed that we share I might add. The closer I got to where she was the louder her growls became. Yes, the little piglet was as happy as can be curled around the turkey. The funny thing is she wasn’t eating it she was just hoarding it.

As I was about to approach her to retrieve the turkey from under the bed, I awoke. Yes pups it was all a very bad dream and some of you were in it with me – BOL, BOL

I hope each and every one of you had a very Happy Thanksgiving. I’m going to go have another helping of turkey now and give thanks that this was only a dream.

11/20/11 Oh woe is me!

I was up on the big bed taking the required Saturday afternoon siesta, minding my own business and certainly not bothering anyone when suddenly Simba Blue, my kitty sibling jumped up on the bed. He stepped around Coco who was lying at the foot of the bed, walked over to momma who was sitting at the head of the bed and then positioned himself right between momma and me.

Okay, I was not happy but at the same time I was accepting and put my head back down on the bed to go back to sleep.

My eyes weren’t even shut for five minutes when I felt something sticking me in my behind. I lifted my head and looked behind me and there that crazy ole cat was grinning at me as happy as could be. His left front paw was extended outward so he could claw my butt.

There wasn’t anything I could do to Simba with momma sitting right there so once again I laid my head back down on the bed and started to go back to sleep. I’m telling you Simba was taunting me because he smacked me on my rear end again but this time I jumped up and went after him. That’s right, this motion challenged LWD sprung up as fast as I was able and took off after him. Simba jumped up and off the bed and finally left me in peace.

Sometimes you just have to make sure those bullies know that they can’t bully you around.
