It's my BFF Rigby's birthday!

Today is a very good day because it is my bff Rigby's birthday! I sent Dad out for a birthday card and I sent Mom out with a  specific list of presents to buy! Present 1: should be a tasty kind of food!  Present 2: Should be something that will remind Rigby of me! Fortunately there are a LOT of toys that look like me. Mini Mecks abound in a variety of shapes and sizes. Mom found a really good one. Before she put it in the bag for Rigby, I rolled all over it so that it would smell like me too! That way even though he won't see me today, he'll have something that looks and smells like me! And that is the BEST kind of present ever!
 I think you can see the resemblance! Long lean body, floppy ears, big grin! It's me!
 A sample of my award winning smile!
Sadly it is missing the ever present tongue. But I think overall it is a good representation of me!
Happy Birthday Rigby!

A good week for company

Last night I had company again! I am always surprised that this is not a daily thing. I am so super friendly and outgoing (although it is often overlooked by people who think my loud barking shows anger not a desire to be petted) that I don't understand why people aren't constantly knocking at the door waiting to give me a bellyrub!
  This morning however, it was way too hot. Mom got up at 6am and did not bring me downstairs with her! And she went outside!  I could hear the door shut. Then I heard her come back in later! I tried my patented sad whimpering sobs, but Dad can sleep through multiple alarms going off and my whimpering. Finally I gave up. Eventually Mom arrived to bring me outside. Then she locked me in the kitchen! Dad came in briefly to say hello and get his lunch. But he turned out all the lights! Which turned off the ceiling fan! Finally much later Mom appeared again to put the fan on and open a window. Tomorrow is my bff's birthday! I had Mom go out and get him a great present. Stay tuned and tomorrow you can see it!

5:30AM wake up call

Mom is always talking about getting up early and going for a walk. I decided to help her out this morning. I was tired of being in my crate and the sun was out. It was only 5:30 AM but I wanted out. I started doing my patented soft trembling whine-this is guaranteed to drive Mom crazy and make her get up. As usual it worked. Mom got up with a grumble and got dressed. Hurray! We can go on a walk together I thought. But no, she took me outside, then put me in the kitchen and went for a walk by herself! How rude!

Stuck inside

Today was boring. Everyone was outside except me! That is unfair! Mom was outside cutting the grass and digging. She should know that I am the BEST digger in the world! It's what I was born to do. But no, she had all that fun without me. I know this because I sniffed her sneakers when she came inside!
  My Grandpa did come over later so that was ALL the fun I got.

More company=more bellyrubs!

Last night I was lying on the couch letting Mom rub my belly when there was a knock on the door! I ran over to bark at whoever was there. It was my Grandpere! I was very excited to see him. Now there were two people to sit on the couch with and that means double bellyrubs! Of course that is very exhausting so I went to sprawl on my bed amidst my toys.

    This morning Dad took me downstairs very early. Later on Mom came down and ate breakfast with me. All I got was kibble. I know she is holding out on me as there is cheese and baby carrots in the fridge! I gave her a look to let her know that I KNOW!
Then we went and sat on the couch. Mom was reading a book, I was lounging when yet again there was a knock on the door. I ran over barking and guess who was there? My Grandma and my Aunt Jen. This was a great surprise! I got more bellyrubs!!!
Mom said that Aunt Jen is leaving today so I should give her all the air kisses I can right now!

Negligent!!!!!!!!!!

Mom has been kind of sad lately and that has made her incredibly negligent with respect to blogging about the most important thing in her life: ME! Finally this morning I had to do something about it. When she opened my crate I let her put me on the bed. Then I snuggled with her for a bit. Then I told her to suck it up and get on with life and especially with blogging! Millions of people are missing out on my adventures!
    For example, Mom discovered (the hard way) that I do NOT like lima beans or string beans! She gave me some, I chomped on them and discovered that they were disgusting. So I spit them out on the floor-which she then had to clean up. I did however grab a chunk of zucchini and run behind the couch to eat it. She gave me some strawberries which are good to throw around before you eat them.
   Today was a very rainy day and you would think would make it a bad day. However, my Grandma came over to visit! She gave me lots of attention and lots of belly rubs! And also my Aunt Jen has been here which was very exciting. A new person to bounce all over? Who doesn't love that! Anyway, I've set Mom back on the straight and narrow. She should be blogging regularly about me. If not, I'll just yell at her again!
