Dad's party

Dad had a party on Saturday. Mom was a little worried about how many people I would try to eat, but Dad was one step ahead. He gave all the party people treats. Whenever I walked over to someone, they would give me a treat! It was awesome! I have never been fed so well (cause I also managed to beat Mecki to any food that was dropped).

It was one of the best days ever! Plus then Dad made a fire! Mecki doesn't like smoke and fire so he stayed inside with Grandpere. It was a bit windy, so I ran around chasing orange glowing things (Mom said they were embers. I chomped on whatever ones I could get. When Mom finally took me upstairs to bed, I was so tired that I fell asleep (snoring LOUDLY) before she even turned the lights out! When Dad brought Mecki up, Mecki was tired too, so tired that he would not get up and go outside Sunday morning.
 

An adventure without Mom and Dad!

But first a short ( and we mean short) video. Dad gave me a new rope toy, which Bastille had to steal almost instantly! We managed to share it a bit.
     On Saturday, Bastille and I had a great adventure! I can't go into specifics (cause Mom and Dad are not exactly sure how we managed to have this adventure) but we SNUCK OUT! Dad thought Mom left the gate open (but she does not like us to have fun, so it wasn't her). We snuck out the short gate in the backyard and ran over to the neighbors! Now I am a super friendly dog, so I ran to the back steps and sat there, waiting for someone to come out and say hi. Meanwhile, Bastille (aka the mean one) ran around being mean. Dad heard the neighbor yelling his name and went out to see him trying to herd the "mean" dog back into the yard. Dad finally got Bastille back in and then tried to figure out where I was. The neighbor said the "nice" dog is sitting on my back steps! So Dad came and got me. When Mom came home, Dad asked her if she had left the gate open and she said no. So it is a big mystery to Mom and Dad.
     It was a lot of fun! I got to scare the neighbors! I can hear them over there , but I can't get to them!  I have news to tell too. Mom took me to the vet. I was happy about riding in the car, but not so happy about being weighed! I do not like that shiny metal scale and my claws make a bad noise. Mom and the nurse had to guess my weight as I was jumping around so much. They settled on 19lbs. The doctor said that I was not going to get any bigger and that I was the perfect weight! I was hoping to gain a few pounds so that I could stomp on Mecki. He always wins our battles! Then the vet gave me a lot of shots (but Mom brought some treats for me so it wasn't that bad).He also said I had normal teeth (Mom wanted to know cause she's never heard me chew!) So all in all, not a bad time.
