New Doggy Tricks

I know its been a long time since I dragged myself off my couch to the blog. But with all the nice warm weather I have been either sleeping on the couch or outside soaking up the sun. Things are cooling down now so I will get back to blogging... I hope.

My New Trick: I've learned to keep a wiki! here check it out.

Now I know the name doesnt sound like something a doggy would do but my "Mom" is so challenged I decided to put it together for her. So if you have read a good book lately put a book review on the wiki for us.

see ya after my nap.

A Favor for "Mom"

My "Mom" goes to work everyday. I hate it! She leaves me alone and I like it better when she is here. But because I love her I will do this favor for her. She asked me to post a link to some pictures she posted of her library so here goes.

On a happier note she took me to the kids ball game last night. It was wonderful. Just me! She didnt bring that other dog I had her lap all to myself the entire time. It was a little cold but she let me snuggle in her jacket. I had a blast! Thanks"Mom".

Hello Sunshine!!!

The last few days I have actually seen the sun! The grass is my yard is growing and I love to go out and lay on the grass in the sun. Its wonderful. It even makes my "mom" in a good mood. She got me dressed yesterday. She even put on my favorite shirt. Its says I'm Mommas Dog. I wanted to post a new picture of me in my shirt but "mom" was busy and didnt get time to take one.
Mom keeps going for walks outside and I want to go too! But she doesnt want to take me cause I get tired too easy and then she has to carry me. I dont see what the big deal is Im not that heavy! But she seems to get annoyed about it. If you really want to know the truth its not that I get that tired. I just dont like to be down there by all those feet! I feel much safer up in her arms.
You will never believe what "moms" kid did today. She was making be do stuff and feeding me dog food for a treat. Dog food, the same stuff I get in my dish. She thought it was great so I played along and did let on that I knew it was just my regular food. "Mom" seems to like the kids so I try to keep them happy. (sometimes)

HIbernation

Can dogs hibernate? I think I should have this past week. More snow. How dreadful. Do they really think I should have to go out in that? I try not to but the people around here are pretty pushy. If I dont go out they pick me up and put me out. In my opinion that take a lot of NERVE!

I have added a photo of myself. I really hate to have my picture taken so my best photos are when I am asleep. But then that is my FAVORITE pastime so I guess that is appropriate!

"Mom" appears to be getting ready to go someplace again... (I hate when she leaves me alone) so I suppose that means I will be out the door again. Doesnt she know I will be just fine if she doesnt torture me like that? What is her problem? I know she loves me so I guess that makes all the other stuff worth it. :)

Get out of BED!

This morning my "mom" didnt get up with the alarm. Does she have any idea what that does to me? I hear that alarm start beeping and I am awake and ready to GO if you know what I mean. She just laid there and tried to get me to go back under the covers. I didnt want to go. So I tried to lick her face. She didnt like that either. Eventually she got up and all was well. I could do my usual bark at the world routine and then head for the couch.

"Dad" disturbed me this morning though. He likes to make breakfast some mornings. Well today he was cutting up something and boy did it smell good. I couldnt resist going out to the kitchen and putting on my charm to see if I could get some. He wouldnt even look at me! The nerve! I didnt give up until I could tell he was done with his cutting. To his credit when he packed his lunch he shared with me. YUM!!!

Now I am just waiting for the family to get home so I can see everyone. I get so excited until "Mom" finally sits down and talks with me. Then I feel so much better. Is that her I hear coming?

Getting Started

Hi, in case you havent figured it out, I am a dog. I really do live a dogs life! For example this morning after getting my master out of bed to take me out, I tiptoed thru the freshly fallen snow (yes snow in April) barked at the world just to make sure they were up along with me. Then I headed back in the house and to the couch for a much needed nap!
