New Doggie Bed

I decided to make myself a new doggie bed tonight. Sure, my brown bed is still cool, but I needed to change some things up. So, I jumped up into the chair and pushed the chair cushion off onto the floor.

Ta dah! Perfect new doggie bed for me!

We Went for a Hike

My former foster sis Shawnee is always going on hikes and posting all of her adventures on her blog. I always wanted to go with her when I lived there, and I did actually get to go once!

Anyway, my luck changed today. My new Mom took me for a hike! She said that since the weather was a little warmer, we should take advantage of it. I had to agree. YES!

Mom says that I shouldn't actually call it a "hike" 'cause it was just a walk around the pond by our house. But it's the farthest that Mom and I have walked since before my sissy died. It's been too cold and snowy out for us to walk very far. And I only got to walk around the pond once before.

I was really excited to go on our hike 'cause there was so much to sniff over there! There was a TON of poop, too. Most of it was from very, very big doggies. Mom was upset about that 'cause dog parents are supposed to pick up the poo. Somebody with a big, big doggy is very lazy I guess!

Mom kept getting after me for sniffing the poos. I was just checking all of it out, though. There was a lot of goose poop, too. I was close to finding some squirrel poo, but Mom made me stop my poo sniffing.

And let me tell you, I was a sniffing machine. I was just all over the place -- it was SO exciting to check out that pond again! I hope we get to go again soon...

Going to Visit

Mom and I went to go visit Grandma and Grandpa yesterday! I was pretty excited about the car ride. I didn't even get all shaky and scared like I have the last few times. (When you get dumped out of a car like I was, trust me that you'll think car rides are scary, too!) Mom was happy that I wasn't so scared -- she wants me to like going for rides with her.

Anyway, we went on the long car ride to see my grandparents! I looked out the window for a while. Everything's so flat here!

Then I got bored and had to nap.

Still flat out there...so I'm still napping...

Just look at how flat this Illinois place is!

Here's the town where my grandparents live and where my Mom grew up. (That's pretty-much the entire town in this picture.)

Anyway, I was super excited when we got to Grandma and Grandpa's place. I wanted to get inside their house fast. Mom usually makes me go potty first, though, so I just took care of that myself before Mom even mentioned it. I peed on Grandma's driveway. Mom wasn't amused.

After we visited for a while, Mom and Grandma and Grandpa left and I stayed at my grandparents' house. They had to go to my baby people cousin's birthday party. You know what I gave him? Two words...SQUEAKY CHICKEN! Mom got a squeaky chicken for him just like mine -- the one he kept stealing from me. So she wrapped it and told him it was from me. (Yes, I tried to steal it, but Mom wouldn't let me at it.)

Now he's got his own squeaky chicky, so he shouldn't need to steal mine anymore, right?

Mom came back to Grandma and Grandpa's place and we visited some more. I love seeing my grandparents, but I was pretty ready to go back home, too. So when Mom said "let's go bye-bye," I flew to the door.

Mom usually makes me go potty before she lets me get in the car, so I took care of that before she even mentioned it. I just peed on the driveway (again) right beside our car and then jumped in the car. After all, that was a quicker way to do it than going over to the grass. Mom wasn't super happy. I guess I wasn't supposed to potty ON the driveway when there was grass a foot away from it. And I...um...sort of peed on my own foot, too, 'cause the driveway is slanted. Mom was muttering something about dog pee on the car seat. Oopsie.

After we got home, I was pretty tired. It was a long day away from my home and my toys. So I did this all night:

And yes, I snored.

It's My Gotcha Anniversary!

Friday was my Gotcha Day Anniversary! I've lived with my new Mom for three whole months now! I came to live with her on Thanksgiving just last year. That's when my foster sis Shawnee and my foster mom droved me all the way to Illinois. Time sure flies!

Now, don't you think that a 3-month anniversary like this should mean a new toy for me???

Well, I guess Mom agreed! Tonight I caught her rummaging around in our closet, where I suspect she has a secret doggie toy stash. And then all of the sudden...TA DAH! NEW TOY!!! She gave me a cool new squirrel toy that's longer than I am! No stuffing in it, so it's easier for me to find those squeakers, too!

I was having a whole lot of fun playing with the squirrel, so Mom had trouble getting a good picture. I refused to stop playing to "pose" for her. She should expect that, though.

The squirrel is pretty long, so it's very tuggable!

I got tired of Mom flashing the camera at me, so I finally just posed and got it over with. You can tell I'm not thrilled about stopping my play for Mom's silly camera!

Happy 3-month Gotcha Anniversary, Mom!

Monkey Business

Mom had to run to the store tonight and I went along for the ride. Yeah, it's a little cold outside right now, but Mom made sure the car was toasty for me and she was only inside for a minute.

When she got back to the car, she put her shopping bag between the seats. It's my sworn duty to investigate all plastic sacks, so I dug right in. Guess what I found? MONKEY TOY!!! That's right...Mom got me a new toy when she was inside the store. Mom even had the store cashier cut the tag off so that I could play with the new toy in the car. My Mom's so cool!

Here's my cute new monkey.

But there was a little problem with my monkey. Before we even got back home, Mom noticed that I had stuffing on my chin. Yep. I had attacked my toy and was pulling out the stuffing! When we got inside our house, Mom investigated and she found two holes in the monkey.

Hole number 1...

Hole number 2...

Now I have destroyed a toy or two in the past, but I'm not usually a destroyer like that. Mom thinks that maybe the toy wasn't sewn together very well to begin with. She told me that she would try to fix the holes for me tomorrow 'cause she was too busy tonight with other stuff. But THAT plan was not going to work...

"There's nothing to see here, Mom."

That's right...I de-stuffed my monkey while Mom wasn't looking. She should have known better than to let me keep playing with it! (That big white thing is the crinkly squeaker.)

When she caught me, I knew I was in a little bit of trouble.

So I put on my best, most-innocent-looking face. And of course Mom just melted. She can't resist the cuteness!

She even let me nap on the monkey remains. Yep. I've got Mom trained.

It was a cute monkey...

Sushi, Anyone?

No Trouble Here...

No, Mom...I'm not up to any mischief. Nope. Nothing at all to see here...

(If I purposefully don't make eye contact, then Mom might not realize that I'm climbing the couch and probably up to something...)

We Had Visitors

Last night a friend of Mom's came over to visit with us. Her name is Jennifer. I've seen her before a couple of times. Jennifer brought her doggy with her, too. His name is Dallas. I'd never met Dallas before. Here's what he looks like.

Mom thought it was a little funny to see me with Dallas 'cause I'm a little doggie, but Dallas is even littler. He's less than half of my size, so he made me look really big. That doesn't happen very often!

Anyway, Jennifer brought a toy over for Dallas to play with. I woulda shared mine, of course, but she thought he'd want his own. So, yes...I stole his toy a time or two. I am a toyaholic, after all! (Grandma called me that today and I think it sorta fits!) I can't be held responsible for any toy stealing.

Here's Dallas with his toy.

Dallas didn't play much with his fish toy, though. You know what he did a lot of the time he was here visiting? He did THIS...

Yes, that's Dallas's nose stuck right in my booty! I got a little tired of that. There's only so many times a girl can get sniffed there, you know.

He did sniff my nose a couple of times....but it was mostly the other end. He seemed to have a fondness for "Ode 'de Buttons."

Dallas seemed to like my new doggie bed, too. (I had to keep an eye on him.)

And when he wanted to go nite nite for a while, you know what Jennifer did? She put a blanket over his head. I've never seen such a thing! There was this blue blanket, then, that kept moving around on my doggie bed!

He decided to nite nite on the couch, too. Again, I had to keep an eye on this because I wasn't quite sure what was up with that "blanket over the head" thing.

"Are you in there, Dallas?"

"Yep. He's in there. I see his little head sticking out!"

Mom and I had a great time visiting with Jennifer and Dallas, but I was super tired when they left our house. Between the constant booty sniffing and the monitoring of the blanket-over-Dallas stuff, it just wore me out. I went straight to bed.

I'll let you know if I ever figure out what was up with that blanket over his head...

Waiting for Mom

When Mom's at work, I usually sit on the couch and wait for her to come home. I don't just sit on the couch, though. I kinda sit on the arm of the couch -- the part closest to the door that Mom will be coming through. I nap up there.

Like this:

Why was I up there when Mom was home? Yeah, I don't really know. It just seemed like the thing to do, I guess!

Typical Saturday Night

It's been a great day today 'cause Mom was home with me all day. We napped this afternoon. She puttered around doing people stuff (like cleaning) while I napped some more. Ahhh...good times!

Tonight, she was messing around on our puter and I wanted to play fetch. I had to actually TELL her to play fetch with me. Can you believe that?

But she did play with me after that. The video of me playing fetch turned out baaaad 'cause Mom couldn't hold the camera steady and throw the chicken at the same time. (It's a little funny to watch, actually!)

I've done a lot of this tonight, too, of course... (Just listen to me snorting!)

And all of that forced me to do some of this...

So yeah -- it's been a great day!

More Mail!

Mom and I got a box in the mail this week. Well, Mom's name was on it, but I should have at least partial ownership of everything, right? And you know what comes in boxes...TOYS! And sometimes COOKIES, too!

So Mom opened the box and I dived in.

"Uh oh," I thought. "What is THIS?!" It certainly didn't look like a toy or cookie.

It turns out that the box had a cake pan in it. I guess that my little tiny people cousin is going to have a birthday soon, and Mom's gonna make his birthday cake. So my aunt shipped a cake pan to my Mom. How boring!

How the heck am I supposed to play with a cake pan?! I think the mail man should take it back and bring me some toys instead. That's how things are supposed to work around here, right?

Toy Box

Mom thought she needed to put my toys in my toy box last night. (Yes, there's a toy box under that pile.)

Don't worry, though. I got right to work and the toys didn't stay in the box for long. He he he.

Lesson from the Little Person

I've complained a lot about my people cousin stealing my squeaky toys, but I do have to give him some credit. You see, he taught me a great technique...

One day he decided that he didn't want his older brother to go to school, so he did this:

Isn't that genius? He sat on his brother's school bag and then just turned on the cuteness.

I decided to try the brilliant tactic myself this morning:

If I'm laying on Mom's coat, she can't leave for work, can she? I thought for sure it would keep her home with me all day. Sadly, no... Mom just picked me up and moved me over to the blanket on the couch. Bummer.

But it was worth a shot!
