A bed for my antler!

When Mom and Dad came home last night they had a present for me! They bought a bed for my antler! I came back from a walk with Dad and there it was! My antler was lying on a bed. I jumped on to try it out.

 Mom took some movies of me with my new bed. The last one had Mom laughing cause my ears were bouncing all over the place. I had to make sure that the bed was not hiding something that could eat my antler. You can never be too careful!

Ouch!

Today had such possibilities when I woke up. I bounced out of my crate, rolled on Dad's dirty socks and went downstairs with Mom. Then she opened the door and it was pouring! I ran outside and then ran back to the door-I don't like getting wet. Later we went outside and Mom let me get in the car. I was so excited! We went to the vet and I could smell all sorts of dogs but I couldn't find any of them. I ran around sniffing everything! Then we went in a room and there was a cat there. I tried to be friends but it snarled at me and left. I ran around sniffing the room, having a good time. Then people came in and petted me. But then bad things happened! First they stuck a needle in my leg and stole some blood! Then they stuck 3 needles in my bottom! That hurt! Then they came around to my face and I thought they would pet me, but no, they blew something up my nose! I was very sad. How can I get my revenge I pondered? The doctor left and the assistant put me down on the floor, but Mom hadn't attached my leash yet! So I ran into the offices in the back! Someone caught me and brought me back to Mom. We went home and Mom gave me a treat and let me play with my antler.

Scary things at night

Last night Mom and I went out for a walk. Everything was fine until I sensed DANGER. We were walking down our street and I saw a fuzzy grey tall thing. When we moved , it would move too! I growled to let it know that I was there. It wasn't scared. I stopped and looked it. It stopped too! Mom and I kept walking and it got taller and taller so I started barking-someone has to protect our streets. Mom was laughing. She told me it was just her shadow on the hedges. I was mad at her shadow for tricking me so I growled some more.

Dad was mad

Last night was a sad night. Dad was mad at me. I was in the living room with Mom but I wanted to be with Dad. So I ran over to the computer room door and it wasn't closed tight. I pushed it open and ran into the room to see Dad. He was doing something important on the computer and didn't want me around. I jumped up on the futon and curled up cause I just wanted to be in the same room as him. He yelled for Mom to come and get me. Mom picked me up and took me back to the living room where we curled up on the couch together. Dad closed the door tightly behind us I was still sad though, so I did my sighs of resignation and a little whimpering while we lay there.
    This morning though Dad let me lick his foot and I jumped up to say hi to him. So maybe he is not mad at me anymore.

an infinitesimally smaller antler of power

Last night I gnawed and gnawed and gnawed on my antler. Mom looked at it and told Dad that I had made it a little smaller! It was very hard work and my mouth hurt. I stood in front of Mom and barked and bumped her leg with my nose to show my pain. She ignored me so I jumped up in her lap for a belly rub.
   This morning when she let me out, I didn't bother to stretch at all. I just ran around the bed and jumped up to say hi to Dad. Mom snuck up behind me and grabbed me. We went downstairs and outside for a walk-where I got my stretching in. We went inside and into the kitchen for breakfast. Mom opened the door to let me out, but I wanted her to come out too. So I waited for her to walk outside and then I ran out. Mom chased me around for a while but then went inside. I ran around until Mom called me in to eat. She said I was good cause I ran over and came inside when she called me. She gave me a small piece of tasty peanut butter biscuit.

A morning run

This morning Mom let me out of my crate and told me to follow her. She was NOT holding the antler of power so I pretty much ignored her to do my stretching. I was just finishing up my long stretch and pondering a run into AT's room when Mom grabbed me. She's sneaky like that. We went downstairs and went out for a walk. I sniffed around Dad's car to see if he had been outside recently. Mom and I went inside and she gave me  water and a great surprise! A bowl of only new tasty food! None of the old yucky food. Hooray I thought as I dug right in. I kept an eye on Mom though cause she was chopping up stuff that smelled really good and I wanted to be ready if something fell on the floor. Then she went to the kitchen door to throw something out. She told me I could go outside if I wanted. I walked out the door but stood on the steps and looked at her. She came out and chased me around a little, then went inside but left the door open for me. I found a piece of cardboard on the lawn so I ran around doing laps. I jumped over the raised beds and raced around the grape vines. Finally I got a bit tired and a bit cold. So I ran inside to see if any food was on the floor. We went out for another walk and my friend Chief was there so I got to play with him a bit. Chief's Dad had to go get ready for work so they left. Mom brought me inside and then left too.

Where's my tree?

No more snuggling for Mom! She took my tree away! And now I can't run under the tree and hide in the corner where no one can get me. It's not fair! So from now on, I'm back to running around and barking at her!
