Revenge is best nibbled in secret

Every morning when Mom comes over to let me out of my crate she laughs at me. All I am doing is sitting patiently, while Mecki runs around being naughty,  waiting to be let out. Mom says she laughs cause when I sit (with my bottom on the ground-which is rare), one of my back legs mysteriously levitates and floats in the air. So of course Mom has to make fun of that. This is why I rarely sit with my bottom on the floor. I prefer to perch on Mecki's head  or Mom's legs. As she laughed , I thought to myself, I shall have revenge.

 My green turtle from Grace-he makes a most excellent pillow!

 Let me out already!

 So later that afternoon, I'm sitting on the couch with Mom who is blatantly ignoring me. I keep head butting her and she pets me for a bit, but you can tell she is not giving it her all.  So I start snuffling around on the couch, pretending to be looking for crumbs around Grand Pere, and slowly move over towards Mom. She is busy crocheting and I  know she is not paying attention to me. That is when I get my revenge! I lunge and nip her in the side! Mom almost falls off the couch as she jumps in the air. The perfect revenge is mine! Mom looks at me and I give her my best "oh, that wasn't a crumb?" look. Mom says that I've been hanging around with Mecki too much. I lie down and smirk.

Dog Days For Me (and my BFF Rigby!)

So I was minding my own business and barking at Bastille when I noticed that Mom was approaching with my big boy leash! That's my really super long leash which usually means we are going somewhere with a lot of space to run! I starting barking and Mom hooked the leash to me. We started to leave but Bastille came and pushed his way in! Mom said, "no, not you" and he sadly backed away. Mom and I got in the car and took off. I started whining immediately then switched to full bark when we approached Old Westbury Gardens.  Plus, right in front of us was my bff Rigby! We got out of the car and I was so excited to see Rigby! We had an awesome plan even though  I did not let Mom get any good photos of me!

 Rigby is very good at posing-he likes to make his sister happy! I do not like when Mom takes photos so I turn away whenever she is about to click!

 Finally I get some well deserved attention from Rigby's sister Grace!

 I think Rigby wanted to go for a swim. It was a bit warm out there.

 I found a shady spot to rest. But Mom made me keep moving.

 Here Rigby and I are playing a game where we refuse to look at the camera at the same time!

And a good time was had by all!

Bedhead

 I'M BACK! And just a wee bit grumpy as Mom decided to herald my return with a very unfavorable photo of me. It was early in the morning and I had been snoozing on the couch on top of Dad's coat-for some added fluffiness. Unfortunately, it gave me bedhead. This on top of the indignity of my previous shaming of having been brought in for SPA day. I was still tired but I heard the tiny pittar patter of Bastille's feet and knew that no more sleep was in my future. Mom grabbed me and dragged me outside in the bitter cold to take care of business.
I'm back too! Mecki told me that Dog Days is coming up and in case I get to go, I am practicing my poses. Mecki said Mom LOVES to take pictures of this position-"Dog facing away". And since I love Mom (cause she feeds me and I am always starving!) I want to make sure I get the pose right. Mecki said I can only go if his friend Rigby doesn't feel well, cause then he gets to be loaned to Rigby's sister. Mom said she will try to post more photos of me cause I am the best doggie ever.

I have proof! Don't tell Mecki , but Mom showed me her new coffee mug!

 I think we can get rid of that dachshund mug now!
