Monsters!
January 6th 2009 11:37 am

Somebody call Ghostbusters! Quick!! I think my house has monsters!! And I think they live in that tiny room just off the hallway. Some very strange thumping noise come from there. And when they start, mom runs in there to quiet it down. She must be feeding them or something!

And my brother Ty…. I think he’s pals with a different monster! We came inside last night after a potty break. Somehow I managed to stay mostly dry, but Ty was a wet, stinky dog. So out comes this long snake looking monster. Ty sits down and lets it hum and blow hot air all over him! I think he really liked it! It tried to nibble on my toes but I didn’t want any part of that! I backed up, growled and barked at it. I showed it who was Boss!! It didn’t try to bother me again.

Copy Cat
January 9th 2009 11:46 am

Mom says I must be a copy cat. I hurt my toe again…. so off to the vet I go this morning. Got some antibiotics (have to copy my sis on meds) and got my annual shots too. Mom figured she might save a few dollars by combining visits. And she was right.

Refreshing
January 15th 2009 4:59 pm

I have a new way to get going in the mornings. It’s refreshing and invigorating too! Mom says it would probably freak someone out. Any whooo, I’ve decided that I like a morning shower. Not a full soaking shower, just a nice spray on my face. See, while mom is taking her shower in the mornings, I like to root around and get my head under the shower curtain, then the nice warm water will hit me in the face. It’s wonderful, sometimes I have to come back a few more times just because I like it so much. Then I’m ready to go outside for some squirrel chasing. Mom claims I’m going to “catch your death of a cold”. Nah, I’m just trying to catch a squirrel

Yuck!

Yuck, Yuck, Yuck!! Mom said I’ve been scratching too much. She’s tried different foods, nothing seemed to make a difference. I’ve had benedryl’s in pill pockets, they didn’t make much of a difference. So… last night she decided it was close enough to time for me to have another dose of my flea medicine. She hasn’t seen any fleas on me during our snuggle time, but she figured it was worth a shot. So out of the doggie medicine cabinet came a tube of Frontline. I’m captured, held still and have nasty smelling stuff poured on my skin (and it was cold!). YUCK!! I promptly started brushing up against the furniture, trying to rub it off. I jumped in the chair and rolled all over the cover. But it was all to no avail…. the yucky stuff was permanently stuck to me. Yuck..

Bonanza
January 30th 2009 10:29 am

Bonanza… that’s the theme song that was running through mom’s head this morning while Annie and I were playing. Stampede to one end of the house, jump on mom’s bed, stampede back down the hallway, snarl, growl, bark… dash off again! Oh, it was so much fun!! We were feeling frisky and being wild children. The other pups were being lazy– old fuddy duddies they are. Don’t know what they are missing, a good romp in the morning is just what is needed to get the blood flowing!

Wild Child
February 13th 2009 11:35 am

The weather has been warm the past few day. And I have turned into a wild child! Mad puppy dashes from one end of the house to the other! Mad puppy dashes all over the yard! Frenzied blanket shredding on the deck! Toy destruction!! Oh!! It’s so much fun to be a wild child!!

OOOwwww

There I was, just doing my normal bouncing/chasing mom bit… and then it happened. KaBammm!!! I took a header into the antique sewing machine! That thing is heavy and doesn’t slide around like the love seat does. 😦 I stopped for a second and continued to run down the hallway and hop up on mom’s bed. Of course she comes in right behind me and checks my noggin out. Of course she doesn’t find anything wrong… I’m a tough guy!! 🙂 But I won’t complain about all the extra hugs and kisses I got (I’m not that tough after all!)

Springtime Snow?
March 18th 2009 10:38 am

Springtime snow…. well not exactly. Considering the snow was green and fluffy, I don’t think it counts. But if green snow if your thing, then I had you covered this weekend. Mom put a new dog bed out on the deck for us. A nice round fluffy bed. Ty really enjoyed sleeping on it. An as soon as he got his big butt off of it, I claimed it for my own. A little nibble here, a big tug & rip there. Soon the bed was big enough for all four of us to share! And there was even enough left over to help decorate the yard! I was sooo proud of my hard work. Then *she* looked outside. *She* was not happy with my hard work. Some people just don’t appreciate fine works of art. Bah! Out comes a big black trash bad and in goes my piece d’ rip-art. Phooey! I hope the trash men appreciate a fine work of art.

The Sweet and the Not so Sweet
March 21st 2009 8:21 am

The Sweet is the fact that I’m a Dogster Diary pick again today!!! I’m second from the top!! One more step and I will complete my New Years Resolution to be THE DIARY PICK OF THE DAY.

And now the not so sweet…. I have to go to the vet today 😦
Turns out that I’ve managed to cut my foot again and I won’t leave it alone. Mom tried putting a bandage on it last night and I promptly put my whole foot in my mouth and tried to chew it off. So now it’s off to the vet for some antibiotics.

Thanks Dogster for making me a diary pick!!

Wash in cold water
March 23rd 2009 4:31 pm

“Wash in Cold Water” Isn’t that the care instructions that dark clothing carries?? Wouldn’t you assume that the same care instructions would apply to a darker colored dog? I would think so, but evidently mom doesn’t think so.

Sunday afternoon marked my first bath of the Spring season. Mom bought a special attachment for the shower that makes it easier for her to bathe us. I was first in line. Mom got the water temperature to a nice comfortable warm. I was put into the tub and the spray hit me. Immediately the water running off of me turned a brownish red!! Yikes!! Mom was washing all my color off… I was FADING! Mom was shocked by how much color was coming off with just warm water. I tried to tell her “WASH IN COLD WATER” to avoid fading. HA HA HA!

I had worked hard for weeks to get just the right amount of dirt in my coat. *Sigh* Now I’m going to have to start all over. But I have to admit, I did enjoy the massage & spa treatment 😉
