Thank the Lord for the Sunshine

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr city today. Zero degrees with a high expected of 12. Mom says this is a warm winter for us. Is she kidding. But, my friend Mr. Sunshine is here this morning. Mom made me a special spot on her desk right by her computer so I have the best of both worlds. Keeping an eye on Mom and Mr. Sunshine doing his thing on me. Is this a great life or what.

Priscilla had a vet appt. today but she decided it was too cold for her tushie to be out so she told Mom "no way". She's staying nice and warm and toasty inside.

I'm glad. I get lonely when Mom and Priscilla are gone. But don't tell them I said that. I have to protect my macho image.

Mom read me that story about the news lady getting bit by the dog. Sad story, now he is in jail for something dumb she and her owner did. The poor dog was traumatized by falling in the lake and almost drowning and thankfully rescued but then what did his owner do - brought him to the television station and put him in an unfamiliar situation with all those people and cameras. The news lady loves dogs and I think after viewing the video she will realize what she did. Mom says she had her hands on the dogs face a lot and then moved closer for a kiss. It was a pretty nerve wracking experience for the poor pooch and he got scared. Now he's being quarantined because his owner didn't have his rabies vac. up to date. Very sad story. I hope it ends well.

Well my friends, stay healthy and happy.

OMD - I had the bestest backrub

You guys, I just had the most amazing experience today. I sat still long enough for one of Mom's massages. I'm always on the go and have never let Mom give me one before. I loved it. Now I see how Priscilla puts up with me. Mom is always giving her massages. Pris says it's the only way she can handle staying calm around me.

Of course Priscilla never told me how wonderful they were before. She knew that would be less massages for her. She adores them. She said Mom gave her a deep tissue massage this morning when those two stayed in bed longer than me. She had this weird grin on her face and hung around Mom all day wanting more. Mom does have magic hands.

Mom says we have to give her a massage next weekend. Mom - we have no thumbs. Maybe we could just walk on Mom. Priscilla and I will have to come up with a plan.

2012 New Year New Rules

I used to have the best time with Grandma. She'd go out on our porch and would throw the ball for me. Those days are over. Mom didn't realize that Grandma was smoking out there when she was playing with me and how close I was getting to Grandma's cigarette and the smoke. This weekend Grandma tried to blame little innocent me for burning a hole in her pants. Come on Grandma not nice. I saw you from the other side of the yard jump up when the ash hit your pants.

Mom said Grandma can play with me but not when she's smoking. And Grandma said I guess I can't play with him anymore. She's got that smoking thing really bad. Boy oh boy. What did I do to deserve that. Mom explained to me that Grandma has something called dementia and we have to change the rules to keep me safe and away from the smoke. New rules for Grandma too. Mom says she can't smoke unless she's there. Grandma is not happy.

Because we live in snow country we don't always get to play outside but Mom had found me a new playground. It's something called a "basement". I have been having so much fun down there with Mom. There's nothing like dirt under my toes out in the yard, but I guess I can survive until Spring in my new playground.

Mom says we are really lucky because the weather has been downright nice lately. In the 40's. In Minnesota. Unheard of.

Later.
