A Tree in the Living Room!

So the weirdest thing happened on Friday. Mommy and daddy put a tree in our living room! Yes, in the house! I don't know -- I think they're going crazy. Then they put lights on it and hung toys that I'm not allowed to touch on it. I wonder if a bird is going to come sit in it next?

Yesterday I stayed home alone with Mr. Tree. Mommy and daddy went in the car and were gone a long time. They brought me back a bunch of treats, though. I was a good boy while they were gone 'cause I didn't mess up the house and played nice under Mr. Tree.

Today mommy is sick so she got to sleep in. I have to go to work with daddy, though, 'cause we took Thursday and Friday off.

I'm hiding.....

under the blanket! Brrr. It's cold outside. Mommy was looking for me, but I decided to hide. I tucked myself under until I was nice and warm!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, I know it's the day after, but I was too busy eating yesterday to update my blog. I discovered the sweet potatoes mommy and daddy keep on the shelves in the kitchen and decided to help myself. It's toy you can eat!

I love Thanksgiving! There's so much to eat and I loved everything mommy cooked. Except for the cranberries. I didn't like them raw or in sauce form. I did like to play with them raw, though.

Ah, sleep!

Mommy and daddy and I slept in this morning. We didn't get out of bed until after 9:30. It was so nice to stay warm and cuddled up next to daddy!

Coffee Talk

So as I mentioned before, I love dairy products. That love extends to anything that includes dairy products. Including mommy's coffee. Daddy's not so much -- he drinks it without cream and that's just yucky.

Dinner Time!

I'd don't usually think of myself as a finicky eater. I'm pretty much happy with anything for dinner. (Although, I'll be honest, my favorite food in the whole wide world is cream cheese). Still, I really don't understand why mommy and daddy insist on putting that... substance... in my bowl every night. I have to pick out all that *dog food* in order to get to the real food, like those little pieces of chicken or beef that they hide in the bottom of the bowl.

I HATE Raggedy Ann!

I know, another entry from me today. Amazing. I just had to tell you about the scary thing that happened to me this evening. Daddy and I were watching TV in the guest bedroom. (It's a long story -- the DVR was recording 2 things already and we didn't want to watch either of them, so we were forced to go to the guest bedroom to watch football). While we were in there, I spotted a very scary looking...thing. It looked sort of like one of my toys, but much scarier. Then daddy decided to taunt me. I'm not happy about that. Now I can never go into that room again. I think I'm going to have nightmares about that doll tonight.

Bad Boy

Mommy says I've been a bad boy tonight and she's only been home for about an hour. While she was changing from her work clothes into her play with Baxter clothes, I got into the closet and took a pair of shoes out. Did you know that shoes make excellent chew toys? This is the second pair of mommy's shoes that I've claimed.

Then when she banished me to the living room while daddy was making dinner, I stole a piece of bread off the coffee table. Apparently mommy and daddy were going to have that with dinner. How was I supposed to know that? I figured it was a buffet.

I tried to apologize to mommy by sitting on her lap on the couch and looking cute. I think she's still kind of mad at me, though.

Spying on the Neighbors

So now that I'm cooped up inside until my stitches heal, I've taken to spying on people when they're outside. Mommy and daddy have made it easy for me by putting one of my beds right in front of the window. This windows overlooks the area where the doggies in my condo complex go outside. I'm always able to watch (and occasionally bark at) other doggies that are outside. During the day, when I get bored, I like to go the window and see what's going on. If one of my friends happens to be outside, I can go to the door to alert mommy or daddy of my urgent need to go outside.

I'm missing a few things....

So I figured out what was going on yesterday. I had to go to the hospital yesterday morning. And I had to stay over night. And now I have fewer teeth, no dew claws, and am...um...missing some other stuff. Let's just say I won't be having puppies. I also got a microchip implanted so I can always be found. I'm feeling fine, though. The vet staff said I did great and I'm being good not to chew my bandages.

Mommy says my smile is much nicer now. My big boy teeth came in without my baby teeth falling out. Daddy said I looked like a barracuda with my double row of teeth. The better to chew you, I said. But I had 7 teeth pulled! Luckily, my doctor gave them back to me so I'm going to put them under my pillow tonight for the tooth fairy. What's the going rate these days?

I spent most of the day napping -- it's raining out and I'm not supposed to go for long walks or play anyways. I put on my 'jamies this morning and napped on the couch with mommy this afternoon (she was home from work) and now I've been sleeping on mommy and daddy's bed.

Football!

Daddy and I watched football last night. Well, technically daddy watched football while mommy and I napped on the couch. I did wear my jersey and hat, though. Well, I wore my hat for a few minutes. It itches.

In other news, something is not right around here. I can feel it. I didn't sleep well last night and daddy got up early this morning. I'm not sure what's going on, but I think something is going to happen. I'll report back later.

Workin' Overtime

I got to work this morning before daddy (the slacker) did. I hope he gets here soon 'cause I don't know if I can handle it all by myself.

A Walk in the Woods

We went to a new park yesterday -- with new smells. I had a great time running through the leaves and smelling as many things as I could. And there was a stream, too. It was so much fun! Then I was so tired that I slept in the car all the way home.

Today daddy went to his friend's house and mommy and I stayed home. We went for walks (and I got to play with other doggies) and we took a nice long nap. I love Sundays!

The Doggy on the Balcony

Apparently there's another doggy on the balcony. At least, that's the best that I can figure. He looks exactly like me and he follows me around! Everything I do, he does too. I just don't get it.
