Mom says I'm an instigator!

Mom says that I am an instigator. I don't know what that is. It sounds like alligator and I do like to do death rolls on my leash so maybe they are related? Anyway, Mom took some video of the doggy play date. I am probably hiding behind a human! Mom said that she hadn't even looked at them so they may not be any good. If I am in them, they will be awesome!

What do you get...

when you put me, by bff Rigby, Tinkerbell and Zee together? A doggie play date! I was a little scared of Tinkerbell and Zee so I decided to mostly hang out by the humans,  Mom, Dad, Grace, Rigby's Mom and Tink and Zee's Mom and Dad. I was happy to see my bff thought, and he seemed happy to see me! We played a little (mostly I instigated and then hid somewhere the big dogs couldn't get to). We also went for a walk and saw a tribe of dachshunds!

Mom said she'd put up more photos later!

Not the way to wake me up

This morning I heard Mom get up and leave early but I rolled over on my comfy pillow in my condo and went right back to sleep. All was well, I was snoozing, Dad was snoring and it was peaceful. Then, all of a sudden, my condo was bounced into and loud music started! I woke up, scared and thinking the world was ending! But no, it was only Mom who had come back only to be startled by the alarm clock and kicked my condo by accident. I was not amused by that at all. Once my heart got back to it's normal rate, I started whining and barking so that Mom would take me outside. Why should she get a few extra minutes to sleep when she had woken me up so rudely!

A lonely dinner=a new toy!

Last night I was very sad. Dad came home and walked me, but then left! And he didn't even leave me dinner! It's not that I eat food when he gives it to me, but I like the option of knowing that I can! I lay on the kitchen floor feeling very sad. All of a sudden, Mom came home! She was happy to see me. She filled my bowl with food and then let me eat in the living room. This was very exciting as it gets boring looking at the same scenery when I eat. After a while, I heard a noise at the door. Dad was home! He had a new bag of food for me ( which still didn't make up for his forgetting to feed me!) and a toy (which did!). It was a kong toy , covered in fabric and was a bunny head with ears! I lay on my back like an otter and held the toy with my paws so I could chew on it. Dad was commenting to Mom about how it was a kong and indestructible, when Mom chimed in and said that there was an ear on the floor. Mom and Dad should know the rules by now! Toys YES, arms, legs,tails and ears NO, appendages have got to go!"

A bouncy day!

This morning Mom got up super early and left! I wondered where she went and what she was doing. Was she having fun without me? Maybe I haven't paid enough attention to her lately! When she came back upstairs, she lay back on the bed. I wanted to know what she had been up to , so I started whining so that she would let me out. Finally she got up and opened my crate. I ran out and bounced up on her leg to say hello! Then she put my collar on and I beat her down the stairs. I was excited to go outside with her. I was feeling very bouncy and happy-maybe because last night Mom had told me that I might have something very fun and exciting to do on Sunday. So I am trying to be good until then. Plus Mom seemed sad last night and wouldn't share her food with me. Whenever Mom sits on the couch, I assume that she has food, so I jump on her and try to sniff out the food. Mom laughs cause usually if she has food, so does Dad,  yet I never try to steal it from him!

A Very Dirty Pup

Mom told me that I was a very dirty pup. I was minding my own business last night when she grabbed me and dropped me in the bathtub. I was forced to stand there for hours as she lathered me and then soaked me! It was very distressing! When I finally got free I had to do many laps up and down the hallway to dry off. I made sure my tummy was still wet and then I jumped on Mom to dry off that part!
   Saturday I had a lot of fun with Rigby. Apparently his sister Grace took some sneaky photos of me where you can actually see my face! How rude! I am very skilled at only letting my bottom be photographed! She sent them to Mom and you can see them below.

Here I am bouncing in front of Rigby (but not on him!).

How rude, not only can you see my face but she caught my tongue doing loops!

Waiting for the right moment to attack!

Begging for a belly rub from my bff!

I must admit that Grace does take excellent photos (and I am extremely photogenic), I just like to make life tough for Mom!

Best Day Evah!

Even though I was very very naughty yesterday (and you will see how naughty I was as Mom taped the evidence) I still got to have fun today. Here I am with one of Dad's bumblebee sneakers. Mom said that it wasn't really my fault as Dad feels the need to leave his shoes in the middle of the floor making them open to being chewed.

If that wasn't enough, then I sat in front of Mom and barked at her and tried to bite her pants!

 

I pretended to be sorry when she caught me (but I really wasn't!). Mom is mean enough to have made me stay at home today, but she gave in. I knew something was going on! Everyone was up! And Grandpa came by! But he left with Dad. So it was just me and Mom. Then she put my harness on! We couldn't get out of the house fast enough for me! We went to my bff Rigby's estate! Mom and I were sitting by a wall and I was barking at everyone. Then Mom said "Hey look who's here!" It was my bff Rigby, his sister and his Mom! This is going to be a great day! Mom took a lot of photos, but I am camera shy so whenever I see a lens pointed at me, I turn around so that most photos are of my bottom. Here are a few good ones.

Here I am bugging Rigby and Grace. Rigby was very nice and did not whack me on the head, but I was also good and did not jump all over him! Notice how often you see my bottom instead of my face!

Then, Mom was very mean and stuck me in a tree! I was too high up to jump off and Grace (who was co conspiring with Mom!!!) was holding my leash behind the tree! Resistance was futile!

Fortunately she didn't have any wings to stick on me!

Here I am showing my absolute disapproval of the whole idea! A dog in a tree?????? Doesn't she know I am a badger hound and NOT a bird dog!

It was a super fun day and I am very happy that I got to see Rigby, Grace and Rigby's Mom (she's very nice and made sure to pay attention to me!).
