Not a good day

It was all going so well, Christmas presents, company, AT! Then Mom and Dad and AT tricked me into going to the vet. Mom found a bald patch on my side where I had been very itchy and chomped on myself. Dad found one under my leg. The Vet (who was very mean--no sooner had he seen me then he took me in another room and squeezed my bottom!) said that I am an allergic dog. He said to keep giving me baths, and that I had a yeast infection in my ears so now Dad had to flush my ears out twice a day, put ear  drops in, plus I have to take steroids for my itchiness-Dad said I would probably get roid rage! That was not a good morning in my opinion! Then since Dad felt bad, we went to Petco and he got me tasty treats and a toy! So it ended up ok!

Bad appendages

Appendages should not be so tasty. I gave in and ate another one and it came back up this morning. Mom opened my crate and I just looked at her. After I came out, she put me on the bed and I got to snuggle with Dad. Then Dad went and got AT and we all got to snuggle! Now my Grandpere and Aunt Michelle are here but I am stuck in the kitchen. It is so unfair!

No more stretching!

My new crate is awesome! I can't believe that Mom and Dad waited so long to get me such a great present! I tried to let them know I needed a new home by doing lots of yoga and stretching every morning after getting out of my small cramped crate! I couldn't wait to get out! Not anymore! I am so relaxed and comfortable that I just chill on my pillow when Mom opens the door. It is the most comfortable crate ever! Mom put my old cramped crate under the kitchen table in case I wanted to use it, but I turned up my nose at that and barked at it.

My new condo!!!!

Last night I got 2 more treats! Besides the awesomeness of AT being here, I got a new antler AND a new crate. My crate is huge, it's like having my own private condo! Mom was worried that I would be upset about the change. Really????????? I ran right in and jumped on my pillow! I can sprawl out! This morning when Mom opened the door, I didn't move at all! I just lounged on my pillow and chilled out.

 

AT gave me my new antler, but first he transferred the power from the old one. That way I have a fresh new antler of tastiness to chew on. Mom, of course, took some videos.

It's still Christmas!

Last night I got another Christmas treat-real food! None of this dry tasteless kibble! Dad bought me some beneful chicken stew wet food that was soooooooooooo tasty!

 It was so much better than the usual stuff they give me. I think I should get that every day!

This morning Mom and Dad got up early so I knew we were going somewhere, plus Mom had said that I was getting a super treat today! We got in the car and drove forever. We finally got out of the car and Mom said we were at the airport. I got a little nervous cause I vague remembered that when I was a very small pup, I spent some time in airports but I couldn't remember why.I wonder if it had anything to do with my lack of dewclaws?  Anyway there are a lot of people just hanging around and no on wanted to pet me! Apparently airports are NOT filled with friendly people. Dad disappeared and Mom and I walked around for a while. Finally Dad came back and guess what? He had AT with him! I was very excited to see him. He got taller so I couldn't quite reach his face to say hello. We left the airport and went to Grandma's where I finally got to scratch my back!

Grandma got me a kong toy and a puzzle toy that involves treats. Mom said she would take a video to show everyone how it works.

Here I am thanking Grandma for my great gifts!

Mom said I have one more christmas treat left! My new crate. I am kinda nervous about this, my old crate had finally started to smell just like me. Mom said she would take a video to show my reaction and maybe some photos too. Stay tuned for tomorrow!

Christmas is great!

Mom's been very busy lately, making sure to get me lots of good stuff for christmas! I've been a very good pup. Now she said that she could catch up on all those photos that she didn't have time to post for me! Here are a few:

This was when we went to go find a tree. I don't know why we had to drive so long to find one, there are plenty of trees at home! Mom said that the little tree would be a good Mecki sized christmas tree, but they didn't chop it down for me. Instead they got a bigger tree, which was good cause I can sneak behind it and Mom and Dad can't catch me!

My Grandpa and my Grandpere came over for christmas eve dinner! I hadn't been allowed to see my Grandpa in a long time cause he got a new hip. I was very excited to see him, and I think he was happy to see me.
     For christmas I got a lot of good toys! And I even gave some good presents! I got Dad a waffle iron (and I hope he drops some waffles on the floor for me!) and some socks (cause socks are so tasty, as my bff Rigby knows!).

Since I was still in good dog mode (for Santa purposes), I let Dad put a christmas hat on me!

Here is one of my awesome new toys! A Mole that squeaks and holds a water bottle (which reminds me that Mom took away my other water bottle toy cause I ate an appendage).

It stretches too!

Here I am giving Mom a present!

My Grandma thought it would be amusing to send me a hotdog shaped leash-but it wasn't real hotdogs. I was disappointed.Mom however was amused. She also sent Dachshund shaped ice cube trays but Mom said she was going to try to use them to make chocolates.

Mom said that I also got a new crate and pillow for it, but I can't use it yet cause Dad put it together Christmas eve and it was damaged so he has to take it apart and take pictures to send to the company. She said I would have to wait for that. She also said that my other Grandma is coming over tomorrow with a present for me. And that tomorrow morning I am going to get the best present ever! I wonder what it will be?

Dad's the best!

Dad is the best. He always looks out for me. And he always sneaks me treats. Like last night for example. Mom and Dad were eating greek food in the kitchen. It smelled very tasty, but Mom put kibble in my bowl-and nothing else! They finished eating and left the kitchen. Dad went out but he made sure that he left a pita bread, still rolled up in wax paper very close to the edge of the table. I knew that he left it there for me, but I had to play cool, until Mom left the room. As soon as she left, I stretched myself up and attempted to get that pita bread. Mom heard noises and told me "NO" cause she thought I was going after the garbage. Eventually I managed to grab hold of the paper and got my pita bread. I made a big noise though and Mom came into the kitchen. She managed to corner me under the kitchen table as I was desperately trying to choke down my treat. She threw herself on the floor and slid in under the table and grabbed a chunk of fur. I kept trying to get rid of the evidence but she grabbed my mouth and pulled it open. Then she stuck her hand in! I hate when people stick their hands in my mouth! She grabbed a piece of wax paper and pulled and pulled. Eventually she managed to get most of it away from me. I did get to snack on a small piece and it was totallly worth the effort!
