Dog Park

Yesterday Mom and Dad left the house with me at the same time. Usually  I only walk with one of them. Maybe we're going for a ride I thought, so I ran over to Dad's car and sat there. Mom made me walk around a bit but then they put me in the car. I was excited cause I love going for rides and they usually take me to good places. This time they took me to the dog park. When I first went in a whole bunch of dogs came over and sniffed me. I decided to start out by playing with the small dogs but there was a very mean little poodle so I ran over to sit by Dad. Then I decided to play with the big dogs and it was much more fun! I ran around for an hour and a half and was really really tired when we got home.

She's back!

Yesterday Dad took me out for a walk and then let me out of the kitchen. I sniffed around in the hallway for a while then he chased me into the living room and guess who I saw? Mom is back! I was excited so I ran and jumped on her and licked and sniffed her all over. Then I lay down so she could rub my belly. While I was lying there, Dad told her about the trick I played on him while she was gone. Dad would let me out into the backyard to play while he was doing the dishes. I decided to hide on him. He came out and called me but I didn't move or make any noise. He looked all over the backyard but didn't see me. So he went inside and got a squeaky toy and squeaked it. I was tempted to run out, but I stayed quiet. Dad had no idea where I was and he looked worried. Then he looked closer and saw my eyes. I was hiding behind the sunflowers and laughing at him!

Last post for a while

This morning Dad was up and gone before I even got out of my crate. I blame Mom for being so slow! When we went out for our walk, I smelled Dad and tracked his path from the front door, to the driveway and back to his car. We went inside and Mom gave me breakfast. I decided to make her last day with me (before vacation) memorable so I barked and snapped at her. Then suddenly, there were  whole bunch of people around! I could hear people upstairs. I barked and barked but Mom and Dad didn't care. Mom is leaving for vacation, so there won't be any posts for a while, unless Dad decides to help me. I'm looking forward to lots and lots of Dad time!!!!

The Best Smell Ever

Mom took me out for a walk and we went up and down the street. I ate some acorns and then all of a sudden I smelled the best smell ever! So I tracked it down the sidewalk. It smelled so good that I had to bark and yodel as I pulled Mom along. Mom was amused cause I was tracking myself!

Hansel

Last night Mom gave me my food, but then she went out. I don't like to eat alone. I ignored my food and took a nap. When Mom and Dad came home, they saw my food. Mom came to sit in the kitchen with me. I was so excited that I jumped right into my food bowl. Kibble went everywhere! I ran around following the trail of kibble and Mom said I looked like Hansel.
    This morning I barked and snapped at Mom so she left me alone in the kitchen until I calmed down.

Calm before the storm

Today when Mom came home after work, I decided to be nice to her. We went for a walk and then she came and sat on the floor in the kitchen with me and I snuggled up to her and chewed on her watchband. Then we played with some of my toys. I haven't decided whether or not to be rude later on.

A new day

Mom said she had high hopes for today. She said that I've been a naughty dog this whole weekend and that I had better start being nicer to her. This morning when I ran out of my crate, I grabbed my favorite toy-Dad's rolled up socks- and made Mom chase me around. She seemed a little grumpy when she caught me. We went for a walk and then I ignored my breakfast. She came back in and sat with me for a while but then I started biting and barking at her-so she threw a paper towel at me to distract me! It worked-and she left the kitchen. Dad came home at lunch and gave me a great treat! A carrot dipped in peanut butter! I was on my best behavior for that! Dad said "Come" and I trotted right over. Dad said "Sit" and my bottom hit the floor!
