they don't make tennis balls like they used to

Last night I was lying in the living room calmly tearing and eating the green fuzz off my tennis ball (which Mom had found for me under the couch) when I decided to chew a hole in it. It took me a while but I finally got through. Then Dad took it away from me. All that work for nothing. This morning Mom brushed me (which I HATE) and took almost all my hair off! She had to stop when the brush was full.

keys

Last night I was lying on the floor chewing and eating my rope toy when I heard keys. Keys usually mean that I am going for a ride in the car. But sometimes they mean that someone is home. Dad was in the living room with me so I thought maybe it is Mom. I heard the kitchen door open and I ran to see who it was.It was Mom so I lay down and let her give me a belly rub. Then she came in the living room so I lay down and chewed on the rope toy again.

Mom didn't need that hummingbird feeder anyway

Last night when Mom came home, I had a big surprise waiting for her. I found a box way back on the shelf in the kitchen and decided to see what it was. It was a hummingbird feeder. A big plastic round thing with a tube. I ate the box, chewed on the tube and rolled the round thing around the floor. I've never even seen a hummingbird around her so I knew I could help Mom out by eating the box. Then she could throw out that useless thing.

I'm a good dog!

Last night I was in the living room with Mom and Dad and I heard them plotting. Dad wanted some pie, but Mom said he couldn't eat it with me in the room cause I would want some too (and that's true! I like to share in whatever they are eating). Mom told Dad to wait until I was naughty, then they would put me in the kitchen and eat some pie. Well I did not like that plan at all! Who are they to cheat me out of pie! If I can't have any, neither can they! So I decided that I was going to be very very very good! I lay on the floor by Mom and chewed on my tennis ball and my rope toy for 2 hours. It was very hard to be good for that long. Eventually I forgot that I was being good and started barking at Mom and biting her pants. Dad jumped up and grabbed me and put me in the kitchen. I was mad that I had forgotten about their plot to put me there. It worked out in the end, cause when Dad was cutting the pie and putting it on plates a small piece of the cream (it was a cherry cream pie) fell on the floor and I ATE it!
    This morning Mom opened my crate. I came out and did my yoga and then ran to find Mom's socks. I had found them in the back of her closet and she keeps forgetting to put them away. I grabbed them and ran a lap into AT's room and then back into Mom's room. She finally trapped me and brought me to Dad for sock removal (that's his job in the morning).

Don't leave

When Mom came home at lunch today I was very excited! She took me out for  a walk, but I knew that when we went back inside she would leave. I wanted her to stay with me, so when we were outside I lay down on the lawn and wouldn't  budge. Ha! I thought. She'll have to stay home now! But Mom is tricky and she picked me up and carried me inside. I whacked her cheek with my paw to show my displeasure.

so tired

When Mom came home from work today, I was too tired to even get up and say hello. Dad took me to the dog park and I ran around like a crazy dog! Then Mom took me for a walk and I saw my friend Chief and my friend Max! Plus I got lots of belly rubs! Mom made me walk very far and now she put my food on the floor but I am too tired to go and eat it.

squirrels are sneaky

Mom and I took a walk this morning and I smelled squirrel! I was running  back and forth sniffing the ground and tracking that evil squirrel. Then I noticed that Mom was lausghing. She said that the whole time I was tracking a squirrel that another squirrel was sitting there watching me and I didn't notice at all.
