More snow?

Last night I had the most wonderful thing in the world! Canned food! Wow! What yumminess... I was dancing around running in circles trying to get Mom to hurry up. It smelled so goooood. Very challenging to sit ans wait until I was allowed to go eat.

I got to sleep in this morning! I love it when no one gets up and leaves in the morning. It was cold out today! After I ate breakfast (with more canned food), I napped in my crate while my humans went shopping. They didn't even bring me anything back! Mom said my shopping trip was last and this one was just for human food.

I did get to go to Petsmart today. I get so excited I can't stop whining! I calm down a but as long as we keep walking up and down the aisles, but when Mom shops my brain goes on overload and I can't control it! Mom asked me to sit while we were waiting for crickets andI DID IT! Even with all those distractions. Then there was a big problem.... I got NO cookies for sitting! It made me think of something else though.... I can't whine and sit at the same time.

Anyways we got this stuff called paw protector at the store. We are supposed to get more snow and this should make my paws feel better. Maybe even let me walk on ice better! It's crazy outside right now! Like a frozen over lake.

Time to eat supper!

I got another bone!

I was super good last night! Mom even gave me another marrow bone. Yum yum. It's still icy out and I might not be able to go to my play date in Sunday. Stupid weather. It's hard to ice skate and pee at the same time!

Mom said she's going to order me something called Mushers Secret? Something about my paws and it will make them feel better. I tried to get her to take me for a car ride and into the pet store, but no one around here sells this stuff.

I was supposed to go to the park last night, but Max hurt his shoulder and it was too icy out for us to walk. Winter is boring!

I got my teeth brushed last night and I wiggled just enough to get the toothpaste all over my mouth. I was so proud of myself. Only now I have crusty blue stuff on my face and I can't get it off! If those humans scrub at me any harder my fur and whiskers are going to fall out.

I stopped licking my bowl clean, just to drive my parents crazy! hehehe They said they are going to add in some canned yummy food to make me like it better. Something about me needing extra protein? I was promised an irresistible supper tonight. I can't wait! They also started having me eat in the kitchen instead of my crate. I used to get to run down the hallway all crazy to rush in my crate and wait for my food. Now I have to sit and wait outside the kitchen until they tell me to go eat! How insulting!

Well Mom and Dad are still at work so it's time to nap again. I do love my big roomy crate! It's a Great Dane size! Biggest one that anyone can buy.

Here are a few pictures to show how big my crate is! I am eating breakfast and that darn Frizzle wouldn't move outta the way!

I have to write on this thing more often!

Tons has happened since I last checked in. I almost caught a squirrel while I was on a 5 and a half foot leash! Mom says I am so talented. I really just wanted squirrel for breakfast...

Then I went to my very first meet and greet at Petsmart! I had lots of fun. Some little kid grabbed me and tried to eat my nose! I think he was eating peanut butter cookies... He smelled good so I let him do what he wanted. I never did get that peanut butter! After that fiasco Mom and Dad put me inside the X pen with all the other pups. I was safer in there!

Only a little growling happened. I just had to show everyone who the boss was. Really I'm just a nice little pup.

Then I got some greyhound friends! Mom took me to a dog park and I got to play with Abby, Tommy, and Gracie. I got to run and run and run. So much fun. I like to body block and that got Abby mad at me. Good thing we all had a muzzles on. I might have gotten my butt kicked.

I started to like this running thing and the next time I visited Max and Belle I ran circles around them! Them Max kept growling at me and chewing on my ear to get me to play. ICK slobber. Good thing he's fat and slow.

I got my very first beef marrow bone. Where has this been my entire life? It was so good I accidentally growled at Mommy. Ops big mistake, I got my bone taken away from me, then given back, then taken away. All I wanted was to chew it!

I'm getting so much better about going into my crate when everyone leaves. I like to go to the back and sleep.

We had an ice storm! It was worse than that white cold stuff that gets up your nose! I was slipping and sliding all over the place this morning. Mommy was too! We couldn't even help each other! I only peed and refused to go #2 this morning. I will hold it forever! Forever I tell you!

I was a superstar on the strange steps a few days ago. I usually only will go up *my* stairs that are by our Apt. Mommy keeps insisting that I have to learn how to go up all the other stairs too. Something about my confidence.. blah blah blah...

Max and Belle also started going for walks with me at the park! I get so excited when I see their car pull up. I start bouncing around and go attack Granddad! Max and Belle are my bestest friends. Mom keeps saying we are going somewhere with them in August. It should be a long car ride then we are sleeping somewhere else. It'll be an adventure.

We are supposed to go to the park tonight but I think we are going to be iced out. :( Darn weather! It makes my toes numb. maybe I can look cute enough to get another marrow bone?

Cute pictures of my time away are below!




Mom and Dad said they brought home a special treat.... I don't see anything special!


Mom why did you put this sheet on my dog bed? Why are all my toys put away?

That's the treat I'm supposed to get all excited about? I don't even know what that is.... Wait a minute! What's that smell......


Yes I want it! Forgive me for my earlier lack of enthusiasm!

This isn't so bad

I must have been a super good pup at some point

Oh it smells so good

How am I supposed to chew this stuff off?

num num num.....

This is SO much better than getting my teeth brushed!



See my pearly white toothers?

I think I am in heaven


Daddy trying to approach me in a non threatening way.... Just let me chew already!


I was so tired after that bone went back into the freezer

Now

A step by step instructional on how to let your teddy bear know they are loved.

First, bring your bear into the middle of the room, give it a few shakes to scramble him. Then gently place him down .


Then use him as a pillow (let them know those shakes weren't ment to kill him)


Next rub your face all over him! Your sharing all that left over food on your mouth! Right?


Another short pillow type cuddle

Then more rubbing


Oh wait.. are those crumbs on the floor?

My teddy bear knows I love him!


Meanwhile the cats are watching and think that I am crazy!

Quiet night last night...

I got to hang our with my Daddy while Mom was late getting home. I was fed my yummy super! Then I was laying down for a treat and the kitty (Murdoc) tried to move in and get my treat! I just gave a little bark/yip at him, only he didn't run away like Cutie Cat did. No fair! Those darn cats are supposed to run! I still smell pretty from my bath!

I got stuff in the mail yesterday! More supplements from http://www.prozymeproducts.com/ and a tag bag from http://www.longdogleather.com/index.cfm?content=54&Menu=28 I look so purdy without my jingly annoying tags. Plus they don't hit me in the head when I sniffers around.

It's supposed to get really cold today and we might have a ice storm... Not fun walking weather. I think it'll be a snuggle evening! They keep telling me I have to learn to get on the furniture... maybe we'll do that tonight. The greyt big bed sure is starting to look comfy!

This retired life is mighty nice!

What a weekend!

It was a super long weekend. I like this New Years thing... I got a special dinner with something everyone called "deer tongue" It was super yummy!

My Mom and Dad went out to a late dinner on Thursday. They left me loose in our home. No crate or nothing! I was fine for the first 45 minutes. Then I got lonely and started singing. All the neighbors love my singing! My parents are really bad about dog proofing. They left all sorts of goodies on the kitchen table, bread on the counters, the closet open so I could get into the trash. I could have had all sorts of fun! But I am a sophisticated type of pup and behaved like the lady that I am. I didn't eat any kitties or dig any holes in the front door. I only pulled my dogbed out of my crate. It just needed some redecorating. :)

I still have to go in my huge crate for work days but for short trips I think I get to stay anywhere.

I'm getting much better about have my teethers brushed. I still don't like it, but I'm nicer to Mommy. I once bit her finger.. Ops... well she did stick it in my mouth! What did she think would happen! Anyways I'm slowly getting used to those humans playing with my lips and teeth. I like the treats I make them give me afterwards.

Bath time happened again this weekend. The other humans that live near us are lazy! There's dog poop everywhere! I accidentally stepped right in it! Ick it's hard to find a clean place to do my business sometimes.

Then we went to the park last night. So exciting! I haven't been there in a long time! It's been too cold to sniff around. I got to sniff and potty, then I had to behave and walk right beside Mom and Dad for the WHOLE trip around the park. But I got to sniff and wander around where ever I wanted for a long time at the end. So much fun.

Oh and the kitty (Frizzle) started zooming around and tried to run me over! Crazy felines....

I'm allowed on the porch now! Dad put up some green snow fencing so I wont try to jump through the screen. I was so scared going out there the first time. I know I'm not allowed out there and was confused when they told me to go out. I was shaking with each step (I had to be lured out with treats) I hate getting in trouble.... No worries though in a few hours I was wandering in and out of the porch all on my own. I like to watch the cars drive by and have fun whining at the people that walk down there. They look like tiny little ants!

They keep telling me I'm going to GIG in April. It's my Birthday trip! http://www.trianglegreyhound.org/gig/ I hope it's fun! There was some mention of ice cream....



Don't I look stunning?
