Disneyland!

I ate a huge supper last night and promptly took a nap! A full belly always makes me sleepy...

Then when I was finished my nap Mom took me to for a car ride. We went to go play with Max and Belle!. It so much fun over there. I get to run around like crazy off leash. I chased a tennis ball and a squeaky thing. Even carried the tennis ball around. Never done that before...

Next came the whipped cream, then cookies, then I got a tiny little dingo rawhide thing. It was yummy! It's like Christmas morning all the time over there... Max and Belle are lucky pups. By 8:30 I was so tired that I couldn't keep my eyes open.

We drove home for a nice quiet night.

I didn't get my yummy bone this morning... I woke Mom up at 5:30 cause I had to pee. She wasn't too happy with me! Then I slept until it was time for Mom to leave. Normally I go into my crate all by myself. Today I had to be woken up to go in! It's a good rainy day to stay in bed sleeping.....

I'm going to be a firedog

I got to go to petsmart last night. We had a job to do, get crickets so Sour Cream the toad could eat supper! I was very good and only whined a little bit. The store wasn't too busy so I had plenty of room to walk around and relax.

I played with Mr Fox, ate supper, went potty, and it was time for bed.

When it got really dark outside some sirens woke me up! Then there were these huge trucks outside just sitting there. I could hear them. Our whole home was lit up by flashing lights.. Something was wrong!

I whined and paced and gave my humans sniffles until Mom got up out of bed, looked out the window, went to the patio, looked out there, etc. I followed her like a good shadow just in case she needed some help. Then she put on her fluffy robe and walked out the front door! Told me to "wait! The nerve! I was the one who told her about it, why should I stay home and miss all the fun?

She came back and woke Dad up. Told all of us that the apt building across the parking lot was on fire! But the firemen had it under control and everything was fine, even though there were strange noises everywhere. Phew! Now I could get back to my beauty sleep.... Zzzzz....

Starting to like the dog park

I tried to get Frizzle to join me in the "Yay, Mommy Is Home" dance last night but she was not enthused! Boy those kitties can puff up really big... I finally just grabbed a rawhide and zoomed around with it!

I got to go to the dog park again last night! Mom took me to the tallyville one just before it got dark so no one else would be there. Well there was other puppies there! A huge German Shepard named Ellis. He's my new boyfriend. I like him! He kept chasing a big squeaky ball and bringing it back to his Dad. I followed and helped. He didn't even mind when I bumped into him while we were running. He was such a nice dog. We ran and ran and ran for about 30 minutes. Phew talk about being tired!

There was a cute 2 year old lab mix puppy. She liked to jump all over me and I was very nice to her. I only let out a little growl when she got too pushy and the puppy listened very well! I think I like her too!

The Dad of the lab mix told us that some shepards that come to the park don't like to share thier toys so we should be careful... I can't imagine they are all not as nice as Ellis!

After being SOOO tired I slept through the entire night and didn't wake anyone up to take me on a midnight walk. :) I also got another one of those super duper yummy special bones this morning! whoohoo!

I'm a human trainer!

I am the best human trainer ever! So Dad hurt his back 2 weeks ago... He's been screaming, angry, whiny, and on lots of medicine! Luckily my cute "I want a treat" eyes still work on him.

I haven't been getting the attention I deserve! No long walks during the week, no play dates with Max and Belle. This is puppy abuse! So I got bored in the middle of the night. They can't expect me to sleep all day in my condo, then sleep all night!

Then the light bulb went off... I started barking like I had to emergency potty in the middle of the night. It was like magic, Mom jumped out of bed and took be for a walk. What fun! There are lots of furry little critters out there at night. We even heard some raccoons fighting. They sounded nasty.

I managed to get a walk every night for 6 days straight. Sure they moved my mealtimes, restricted my water, took away all my chewies so I wasn't thirsty at night, etc All very little prices to pay for the wondrous walk.

So Friday night I decided it was time for a walk at 12:30. Woof Woof I go! Mom put a coat and shoes on and took me to the elevator (no one is coordinated enough to go down 5 flights of stairs at that hour)

When we got outside Mom wouldn't let me go on a walk! She kept walking me in a 15 foot circle right outside the door. She seriously can't expect me to potty right there. So I planted my feet and tried to pull to go on our walk, it didn't help. After 7 minutes of me refusing to sniff (seriously my nose couldn't go any farther skyward, pretty stars were out...) She took me back inside!!!!!!!!!!!

But wait, I hadn't peed yet! *grumble grumble*

We went back inside, lights went out, and everyone went back to sleep. I started my pitiful little whine... slowly worked up to a single loud bark.... SPLAT! I got hit with a stream of water! So surprised I crashed into the wall. Those stupid humans really didn't need to laugh at me... Insulted I went to my dog bed and flopped down with a huge disdained groan.

Mom said she better not wake up to an accident! She was mad... Geez all I wanted was a fun walk.

Last night I let everyone sleep until they had to wake me up! ok, well I was awake but was fake sleeping in the living room. Mom was so happy, telling me I was such a good pup at 6:40 this morning! After we came inside from pottying I even got a special super duper yummy bone! I never get them in the morning! Num Num Num. This is the bone I will do anything for. Trust me, for someone that is not food motivated this is a big deal.

So I trained my humans to give me my favorite bone to chew on while they take shower and get ready to go to that work place. I'm so smart...

So Tired

Such a busy weekend! Mom and I woke up early Saturday morning and went for a walk in the park. Then we came back home and Mom showered and got dressed. Dad was still sleeping so we had to be super quiet! The I got to watch the car while Mom did a bunch of shopping... I am such a good car watcher! Whatever did they do before I came around? Then we went to play with Max and Belle. I did my first official zoomies in their backyard. I ran around in circles for 5 minutes! It was a bit slippery but I stayed on my feet! Max was trying to catch me... slow poke!

The we came back home and Dad was still asleep! I wasn't sure he was still alive... Mom went out to some party. Dad took me back to the park for another walk!!!!!! 2 walks in one day! I am one lucky pup! Sniffering around until I couldn't sniff anymore. I slept well Saturday night! Here's a picture of me in the gazebo at the park.





Sunday was a fun day too! Mom and I went for a walk at the Newark Reservoir. No clue what that is but there was lots of water. I got to meet a new puppy friend. Harmony is a cute little pitbull mix. She was crazy looking for those squirrels. Mom and Dad were very proud that I didn't growl at Harmony when I met her. I'm settling into my retired life. I even met a little begael that was so rude he wacked me on the nose with his paw! I didn't even growl at him. I am a well socialized superstar pup! After our LONG walk I took a nap and we went back to see Max and Bell again! I did more zoomies. I ran so much that my back leg muscles started shaking, then I layed down in the mud! It felt so nice...

Here are some pictures of us this weekend

Belle and me looking for those darn squirrels!

Still on the hunt...

Max was a gentleman and stood guard to make sure no one else bothered me.
