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?

They call me spoiled....

Everyone say's I'm spoiled and Mommy says nope! Spoiled pups have no manners! I am pampered not spoiled. :) I have perfect manners... well... most of the time!

My life right now is so much different from my racing life. I have 3 huge dog beds, the biggest crate that they make, tons of these things called toys (I'm still trying to figure out how to play with them), and I always have a rawhide to chew on. I learned how to 'beg' for food from the cat! They laugh at me since I only beg for cereal right now...

I know how to sit, lay down, and wait. I love to go visit strangers! Those strangers keep getting scared of me though... :( I am an expert car jumper! Car rides are so much fun. I don't even care if my nose gets frozen in the wind.

I do get scared and lonely when my parents are at work. The neighbors sometimes even hear me crying. I started having to wear my muzzle in my new beautiful crate. My parents are worried I might hurt my teeth chewing on it, plus that was an expensive crate! I just have to get used to things again. The holidays threw me off, it's hard to remember what normal is again.

Here are some more pics of my pamperedness!

This home stuff.....

Well on Saturday 1/3/09 I will have officially had my very own family for 3 months! It's amazing the crazy stuff that has happened to me.

So far I've dug a hole in the front door (shh.. we don't talk about that anymore) Eaten a metal crate ( I just was telling Mom and Dad that I wanted a bigger and better one) Tried to eat a kitty, but know now that they are friends, not food. Those kitties are funny little creatures.

I met a couple crazy loud dogs named Max and Belle. I might had bitten Belle in the butt this past weekend... but she jumped on my head and was asking for it! We really do like each other. Max is a big dog. He constantly barks and barks and barks. He always is pestering those humans for a biscuit or rawhide or some loving. His barks are so loud they make the windows rattle. Max the tank really needs to learn some manners. A week ago I was standing politely like I was told to in front of the open back door at Max and Belle's house. Waiting for Mommy to stop talking and take me home. Max just went barreling right through me! Went between my hind legs picked me up and carried me on his back down the stairs! Once a realized I was outside I ran back in to make sure Mom wasn't mad at me. I tried to wait I really did! Mom and all the other humans were laughing really hard so I don't think they were mad at me.

Max and Belle also have an evil kitty named Cutie Cat. This feline is much more evil than my 2 are. (my kitties, sounds good doesn't it?) Anyway, Cutie Cat smacked me in the nose on Christmas morning! I didn't even do anything. I know not to look at or walk up to , or chase those kitties. She walked right up to me sniffed me like we were going to be friends then bam.

I got her back though! Mom and Dad left me over there all by myself with the craziness on Sunday. They had to go to a Christening (whatever that is) and it was far far away. I was laying on the sleeping bag by the Christmas tree and I see her sneaking up on me out of the corner of my eye. Creeping closer and closer.... I looked Grandpa in the eye (kinda telling him to 'watch this') then turned and gave a single bark to Cutie Cat. HAHAHAHA little furball ran upstairs as fast as she could. I didn't even have to move a muscle. Just laid there like a good pup and watched her run away. It's all in the timing....

Pics of me and my new friends!
