Good Emotional Support

Bonjou ~Mnsr Cutter here.

Last night I was the best emotional support for Mom after losing her Indy Kitty to the Rainbow Bridge. I made sure to stay very close to her to let her know I love her. While she was crying late at night I moved closer to her and put my head on her shoulders and let her sob into my neck. I didn't even squirm when she wrapped me up in her arms. I laid there and let her use me as her Teddy Bear. I didn't move all night long from my position and in the morning she thanked me for an excellent job done.

I'd do it again for her too!

You'd Think I'd Learn.

Bonjour

That was me that hit the deck at full stride and skidded across and tumbled down the stairs.

That was also me that hit the deck full stride from the side and only gained traction at the doormat at the sliding glass door. Those are also my snout prints as well on the glass. No need to go into details.

Also me that hit the standing water that formed overnight in the backyard after a week of rain. Who knew such squealchy ground could form a pond overnight? I was told I looked like a duck landing that caught it's webbed foot in the mud bog.

That was me standing in the middle of the yard that is now a pond.

That was me still standing there and not moving.

That was me that needed to be rescued from the pond by Mom in her galoshes. Had I have known it was less than an inch deep I may have been more brave. But when Mom put the Leash on me I knew I was saved.

You'd think I'd have learned the puddle was still out there.

It seems I did not.

You'd think I'd learn puddles are not for wading in unless you are committed. Wet decks are to be more controlled on the arrival.

Sleepless in Seattle.

Bonjour. Cutter here.

A scary thing happened this weekend. MsLouann stopped by and we were all happy to see her. Even I as shy as I am can be happy to see MsLouann. Misty and Scooter went out the front door and that is where the scary part starts.

We all got in the car. All of us, meaning me too. I was in the crate because I don't travel well. Even though Mom had her fingers through the side of the crate, MsLouann's car was the scene of yet another barfing. Mine was contained to the corner of the crate, unlike MzThang's episode. Or so I've been told.

We got to this strange house which Mom told me is where MsLouann and the Teenager lived. Misty, Scooter and Pepper walked right in and had no issue with some dog named Booger. I didn't actually either, what I really had to do was take a dump. So I did. Right next to the Teenager playing his video game.

I was nervous, what can I say? Well sorry MsLouann seems appropriate.

The reason all 4 dogs went on this trip was because we were staying the night. I had no idea what that meant until the very next day after having spent the night. I might have had a few minutes of sleep at all. Very few minutes.

Dinner was shared, and I have it on good authority from Scooter that it was fresh from Montana. Scooter told me about cattle, so when those scraps of SNACKS hit our lips we were living the Big Sky Country life.

Mom and MsLouann got a little loopy from their cocktails, which was I hear from Misty had been planned from the beginning. No driving allowed. It was now a Sleep Over. MsLouann being a little loopy, and me being in a corner and all, scooped me up. I was very close to squirming when out of the corner of my eye I saw Mom give me the "look at me" sign. I did, and MsLouann never knew I was being good just because Mom was making sure I had special signs to make me feel ok. Well MsLouann figured it out, but only after she had put me down and I'd sniffed her that I was ok with it all.

Booger and the Teenager headed off to bed. Booger was kicked out for being a whiner and told never to come back. Booger didn't seem offended by the Teenager since he'd barge right back into the room to be kicked out yet again.

Mom grabbed the couch saying it wasn't worth disturbing the cats in the spare bedroom. What? Is that what I've been smelling?

MsLouann headed off to bed. Misty, Scooter and Pepper tell me it was a wonderful bed that had plenty of room. I wouldn't know.

I was not leaving the only human I knew for any comfortable bed. I was sticking with Mom. In fact instead of sleeping down on her feet like I usually do, I will sleep on her head. There is no way she can slip out and leave me here if I wrap my body around the top of her head and down an arm.

If I stare at her all night long I know she can't leave me. Ask me how she knows, cuz she'd tell you it is creepy~sweet.

In the morning with human heads and eyes hanging lower than a Bloodhounds, we were back at home. Upset stomach and vomit included. *Mom note - the humans had the bloodshot eyes, the dog was the sick one*

I crawled up on my couch knowing I had peed on the Teenager's chair before we'd left MsLouann's. Sleep is needed. And I don't want any human attached to me for a while.

Dog Test: Adventurer

Bonjour Mnsr. Cutter.

I just took this online test and can you believe I am considered a "adventurer"?

Here's what they say about me:

Your dog is a Spontaneous, Beta and High Activity type which we call the Adventurer. The Adventurer regularly challenges the social order, routine and environmental orderliness. It constantly searches for new social and environmental standards. It is highly competitive with plenty of energy and a playful spirit but not great at group activities.

Take your own test here.

Bonjour ~Mnsr Cutter~

Scooter was catching up on his friend Oliver Louis tonight and told me I had to be the voice of this topic.

We read Oliver Louis diary entry and we must say he puts it better than we could have.

I'm a rescue dog myself and still have my hang ups. I am ever so glad that I have a great house to live in and am now not a puppy mill dog. We also have family members that have served their country both home and overseas.

Times are tough and many cupboards are bare all over. Help you can give to k9soldiers these k9's in need a paw.

Thanks for at least the look see if you go.

Darkness and Sleepiness.

Bonjour ~Mnsr Cutter~

What I have come to know as Winter is very odd. It is dark in the morning when we go out, and dark in the evening when we go out. Where did the daylight go all of a sudden? Not to mention it has this wet stuff called "rain" that is gross! Last week was below freezing every day which isn't too tough if you run around the yard and come inside when you get a chill.

On the weekends we all have our favorite places to sleep when Mom stays home.

Misty pretty much likes her pillow on the bed and unless the door opens or food is out, she will hang there.

Scooter loves to sleep on the recliner chair we all call the Captains Chair.

Pepper sleeps on any rug or blanket closest to Mom. If there isn't one close and she needs one, she just moves one herself.

I, Cutter, enjoy either couch in either room. Sometimes the front room where I can hang by myself, and sometimes the family room to keep an eye on stuff.

Mom says this darkness will last for another 2 months and then the next thing you will know is that the birds will be chirping at 4:30 a.m. Mom has mentioned things about Looney Tunes and wishing she had a shotgun. Also things about not being able to call in noise disturbance on birds to Mother Nature.

Tagged by a gal named Doo

Bonjour ~Mnsr. Cutter~

I was tagged by gal pal Doo and said I'd give it a whirl.

Here goes:

I'm supposed to 7 facts about me and then tag some of my friends and have them tell some things about themselves too.

1. I'm super shy.
2. Until there is food around.
3. I can run like the wind.
4. I'm kind of afraid of the dark in the back yard.
5. I hate the dog in the back yard that is really mean. He's punched another hole in the fence barking at us.
6. I hardly wag my tail - it just quivers when I'm happy.
7. I have really long whiskers. SEXY!

I won't tag anypup since I'm so shy, but feel free to play along.

Merci ~Mnsr. Cutter~

Wet Stuff!

Mnsr Cutter here.

Bonjour

What is with the wet stuff that falls from the sky? It is super yucky! Not only does it make the top of you wet, but that stuff comes up under your toes after a while as well.

I learned that the normal dog leg stretching route this morning had a serious water obstacle going on. Is no other dog concerned that overnight a whole pond appeared in the back yard?

Or was every other dog laughing at me when I ran straight into it and stopped in shock, only to find myself stuck. Stuck in the middle of the puddle. Ummm, what do I do now? It's wet from the top and now from the bottom and I'm not sure which is worse.

I'm here to tell you that wet is wet! From the sky or from the earth, wet is still wet. Either way - I hate that wet stuff.

Bluch to the wet stuff!! Go away!

Adieu ~ Mnsr Cutter~

It's Wonderful.

Mnsr. Cutter.

I learned this weekend that you can lay on the couch next to your human and it just like sleeping in bed - only better. Your human is awake to scratch your chin every once in a while.

I had no idea that was why all the other pups always jumped up on the couch so soon when Mom sat down.

I'm now the first one up there to stake out my chin scratching spot. Mom says it's a tight fit, butt (hee hee) we have a 5 butt couch if need be.

Mnsr. Cutter out.
