A most blustery and scary night!

Last night it was very windy out! Mom took me out for my pre bedtime walk and all of a sudden I saw and heard something! I barked and growled like a lunatic at our next door neighbor and the Great Dane puppy Max! Max was very confused. He didn't know why I was barking and growling. Mom said that I was very mean. She said that I should think back on when I was little (even though Max is like 3 times as big as me!) and other dogs were mean to me when all I wanted to do was play. She did say that it was probably because I am a scaredy cat at night. I resent that! I am just protecting her from the scary things that are outside at night!
    This morning when Mom opened my crate to let me out, I was lying on my back with all 4 legs in the air. I gave her my one eyeball look and pretended not to see her. She made me come downstairs and then left me all alone down there. A long time later she came down and I ate breakfast with her. I had waited cause I don't like to eat by myself. I had some kibble (and some cheese and some scrambled eggs and some rice)-I was still hungry though! Mom and Dad are trying to starve me! Imagine if I limited their food? They would pass out from hunger but they have no problem not feeding me!

Some compost, some sun=a perfect day

Today at lunch Mom came home to say hello to me. She has trouble working a full day without coming  home to see me. I am that cute! Today she let me into the backyard to play cause the sun was out and it was nice. I ran over and found the spot on the lawn where the composter was. It smelled great! I rolled on my back and scratched myself on the lawn. Then I lay there, belly up to the sun and basked in the sunlight. That was toasty but got boring after a bit. Then I ran over to where Mom and Dad had dumped the compost and contemplated eating some. Mom saw me and tempted me back inside with some beggin' strips. Then she left me. Now I'm just waiting to see who runs home faster to see me after work? Mom or Dad?

Turtle- like legs


This is my cousin Clementine. She lives in France with Aunt Jen, Uncle Reno, Alec and Julien. Mom has shown me photos of her, in fact that is how I got the idea of how to escape from my booties!
Mom played a very mean trick on me and she made Dad help! I was minding my own business in the kitchen when Dad grabbed me. Oh no I thought! They are going to pour stuff in my ears! But no, this was a more devious and horrible thing. Mom came into the kitchen with booties. I had seen these booties before, in fact I had chomped on one when Mom wasn't looking! While Dad was holding me, Mom grabbed my legs and tried to put booties on me. She could feel my leg and paw in the booties but she went to the next leg, I retracted my bootie covered leg like a turtle! As soon as she put me down, I had knocked off 3 booties! Dad grabbed me again and helped Mom put on booties. Then they let me outside. But I had done my turtle thing again and 2 booties were off before I was out the door. When I got in the snow, I pulled the other one off and ran around in one bootie. Mom was exasperated!
Mom fogot to put up the photo of me in my Dr. Who scarf coat. I am a big Dr. Who fan (just like my Dad and AT!!!) and one of Dad's friends knitted me the official Dr.Who scarf coat. I think I look quite spiffy in it, plus since Mom insists on keeping the house freezing cold, it keeps me warm.

Powered up with belly rubs!

This morning was great! First there was snow outside! Then we went for a ride and we ended up at the library. I got to see my bff Grace, and Mary and Diane and Aunt Joan who gave me baby carrots! I hope Mom will let me go outside and play in the snow later!

No one loves me

Yesterday started out well -a ride in the car.. a biscuit in the bank... Dad came home for lunch. A french fry dropped on the floor and I ate it.  Mom came in smelling like another dog-she said it was the Great Dane puppy next door-I haven't met him yet. The world was full of endless possibilities and belly rubs. But then...Dad went back to work and Mom left. She said she would be back soon, but she wasn't!!! I was all alone in the kitchen forever. No one to lie on the couch with, no one to give me belly rubs and play with me. I was a very sad pup. Even when Mom came home she did not play with me! She went upstairs!  So it is really not my fault at all that when she let me into the living room, that I was mad and barked at her. I ran around, barked at her feet, and when she got up I attached her pants legs! I was mad! Mom grabbed me and made me sit on the couch with her so that I would calm down, but I didn't. Finally she went into the computer room and I followed. Then I sat on the floor and whined cause I couldn't open the door. Eventually we went outside for a walk and went to bed.

A trip

This morning Mom put on my coat and took me for a ride in the car. We went to the bank! I got a biscuit  for being less noisy than usual! When we got home, we went for a walk. It was cold out, but I love the cold! It gives me energy! I threw myself down on people's lawns and rolled around like a maniac. I made a lady laugh as she was getting out of her car. Then I jumped up and barked and bounced like a rabbit. Then I pulled Mom down the street. If there had only been snow it would have been a perfect day!

Grandmas give good presents!

Grandmas give very good presents. I love my toy which Mom sticks treats in. I figured out how to find all the treats that are hidden! If only it would refill itself! My other Grandma got me the Big Kong! I came home from a walk with Mom and that Kong was sitting there taunting me. So as soon as Mom let me off my leash, I ran over and grabbed it. Then I did sprints up and down the hall, throwing it in the air. Mom laughed at me as usual. After dinner, Dad was eating rice cake and I got some too!

a relaxing day

I had a nice relaxing day with Mom. We hung out on the couch, and she gave me some snacks! When Dad came home I got to stay up late with him! Plus no ear attacks and no baths!

Back to the Vet

Mom said that I am very high maintenance and a very expensive pup! We had to go back to the vet to check my ears. This vet thought I was awesome too! They like the wirey pups there and I am VERY wirey! He said my ears looked good and then he took some of my blood, gave me a shot in my bottom and blew something up my nose! If my Grandma hadn't been there with Mom, I would have put up more of a fuss. My Grandma came to visit me yesterday and she brought me a toy (cause she has excellent manners!). It was a big red kong! A really big one! Dad put a beggin strip in it and I managed to get it out!  Later on I felt kinda tired so I spent the rest of the day lying on Mom and keeping her warm while she watched tv.
  This morning I was coughing in my crate and Dad got up to take me outside and to see if I wanted some water (I didn't!). Then he felt bad for me so he brought me back upstairs and I got to sleep in the bed with him. Mom was not too keen on this idea as usually I won't stay still and I bounce all over. But I still was feeling under the weather so I just snuggled up to Dad and snored along with him. Mom eventually got up cause she couldn't sleep through the double snoring!

Starvation

Mom and Dad don't realize it, but they don't feed me enough! I may look small but I need to eat large amounts of food! I spend a huge amount of time jumping around looking happy to see them and waggin my tail! That takes energy! Right now they are only feeding me what my bff Rigby gets, and that is NOT enough. This morning I was eating breakfast with Mom. She put the rest of my kibble from the old bag in my bowl. I was hoping she would add some from the new bag, but no, she is trying to starve me. I followed her around as she made Dad's lunch (peanut butter and jelly!-my fav!) but she didn't give me any. Then she made herself a pita bread with cheese inside and put it in the oven. It smelled delicious! She gave me a miniscule piece of cheese which only made me hungrier! (Oh and a piece of liverwurst with my last pill in it-but that doesn't count!). She took her warm tasty cheesy breakfast out of the oven and went to sit down at the table. She put my bowl of kibble near her, so I came over and ate a piece or two of kibble. What I really wanted was her breakfast. I sat at her feet and did something I never do, bark for food! I was just trying to get  her attention so that she would realize that I was starving! Finally I jumped up and put my front paws on her knee-she petted me absent mindedly as she was trying to read a book. She wasn't paying any attention to that cheesy goodness! While she wasn't looking, I stuck my tongue out as far as I could (which is pretty far!) and managed to just touch the pita bread. I was trying to drag it off her plate when she noticed and told me I was bad. She pushed her plate more into the center of the table so that there was no way that I could reach it. Bad Mom!

Too Quiet

It is very quiet and sad now without AT. Mom keeps trying to drag me out of my comfy condo in the morning when all I want to do is sprawl on my pillow! For christmas I got a toy from Grandma that treats come out of! Mom took a video of course:
It's fun and tasty, although sometimes it does not give me treats so I bite it to teach it a lesson. Mostly I've just been trying to hide from Mom and Dad cause they keep grabbing me and squirting nasty smelling and cold stuff into my ears. It is not pleasant. I guess I shouldn't complain since they haven't given me a bath lately!

Too lazy to say goodbye

I think I missed my chance to say goodbye to AT this morning. Mom and Dad woke me up at 4am and asked if I wanted to come out of my condo. It was dark out and I was comfortable so I rolled one eye at them and stayed in the crate. They went downstairs and all of a sudden I heard AT say "Goodbye Mecki". I realized that he was leaving, cause yesterday I saw suitcases on the floor! I felt bad that I hadn't gotten up to say goodbye. Mom and Dad should give me a heads up! Mom and Dad came home but instead of comforting me or playing with me, they grabbed me and squirted more nasty cold stuff in my ears! Then they went away. So I am a very sad pup today.

Roid rage

Last night I was very angry. Dad said it was roid rage but it wasn't. I was angry cause Dad held me down while Mom squirted nasty stuff in my ears. Then they all went and sat on my couch and didn't leave any room for me! That and AT came downstairs in his pajamas which were all flappy around his feet and I did NOT like that! It was just a day of rudeness on their part. Plus I stole one of Mom's new gloves and she got mad at me. And she sent AT to wrangle me! It was her fault for leaving them out in the open.
