I'm A-Workin' On... June 7, 2008

I just woke up from my nap & love my cuddle time.
Pure innocence!
Giving Mommy love bites!

(not the railroad!) sitting and staying! I'm pretty good, if I want to be! I'm also working on coming when I'm called ~ that depends on if Mommy or Aunt Sissie K are holding my Graduates Meat Sticks for a treat! All in all, I've only been trying to learn this for 2 days. Mommy thinks I'm very intelligent.

Mommy says I'm really getting into a routine ~ I sleep every night from about 9 pm til 5:30 am & then go out to potty. Then it's playtime & breakfast! Mommy leaves for work at 7 and then I play with Daddy for awhile before I take a morning nap. Mommy comes home from noon til 1 and we eat, play & go outside for awhile. Then I take my afternoon nap. I usually play & eat supper til bedtime. I'm definitely the princess in this castle!

Nappy Time! And How Much is That Doggy...June 4, 2008

I love having Aunt Sissie K at home ~ she lets me take naps on her! She's a lot of fun ~ she plays on the floor with me & I like to chew on her hair! She calls me "Muffin Top."

Who is that puppy in the fireplace & why won't she come out to play? There's so much entertainment in my house!

I can't wait til tonite ~ Aunt Sissie K is coming home from Florida. I miss her so much!

Going to the Lake House. May 30th & 31st

Last night Mommy & Daddy took me to the lake house while they were working there. They took my playpen & I played in there until I had to go potty. I kept barking at Mommy and she kept shushing me ~ I was trying to tell her to take me out but she didn't understand. I had to go so bad that I finally just pooed in my playpen. Boy, did Mommy feel bad!

Today, Mommy & I went back to the house. This time she took my crate & put it in my playpen. I had so much fun ~ playing with all my toys & then I took a three hour nap!! Mommy was just beginning to think something was wrong with me when I woke up.

Tomorrow Aunt Sissie K is moving home! I can hardly wait! She loves to play with me and she took me for a loooonnnnggggg walk on Thursday! I walked all the way to Sherman's and most of the way back. I was a little scared of the cars - I've never seen one before - but Aunt Sissie kept telling me how proud she was of me and how good I was doing, so I kept going. She called Mommy to tell her how good I did. Oh, oh - gotta go! I hear Daddy at the ice machine!!!

What's a "Joy?" May 29, 2008

Daddy keeps calling me a "true joy." I don't know what that means but I know he really loves me! I love him, too ~ he takes really good care of me when Mommy works. If he's really busy, he puts me in my playpen outside his office door & opens the front door so I can see outside. Sometimes in the afternoon we take naps together.

Mommy dropped a piece of ice on the floor & I like playing & licking it. I carry it around the house like a new toy. Now I know to come running when I hear the ice machine on the fridge. It's so neat how a piece always falls on the floor when I'm there.

Another rough day! May 29, 2008

This is Mommy & me at the Mall!

This is my new dress - it even has some bling on the flower.

My Mommy & my new dress.

Yesterday was not a very good day - first I got sent home from school. I was being really, really good but I guess little bitty girls like me can't go to school. When Mommy came home for lunch, I had thrown such a fit about being banished, I had knocked my crate on edge! That really scared me!?! I won't do that again!

Yesterday morning Mommy gave me my de-wormer pill. My Aunt Sissie Katie came home in the afternoon to play with me (my only bright spot yesterday!), and then we went to run errands in Peoria. We went to Grand Prairie Mall & Mommy took me in the stores in my bag. I was so good, noone even knew I was there! But then about 6 pm, I started throwing up!! Mommy called Dr. Larson at home and also called the Emergency Afterhours Hospital because he wasn't home yet. They both said it was probably a reaction to the shot and the de-wormer. Mommy was so worried, that I had to show her I was still ok by playing with my toys. Once again ~ after a good night's sleep, I got up this morning, pottied, ate all my breakfast, had big drinks, and played really hard! It's tough being a little girl sometimes, but I bounce back fast!

Early morning with the baby May 28, 2008

I am one spunky little monkey in the morning! Today Daddy took me outside to potty & then Mommy gave me breakfast. This is me playing with her!

Yesterday Mommy took me to work with her. It was so much fun & I was such a good girl. All the kids & big kids thought I was the new therapy puppy for the office. Mommy took my crate so I could go in there when I needed to rest. I only barked one time & that's because Mommy had me revved up.

After work, we went to see my vet, Dr. Larson. The girls in the office oohed & aahed over me. I'm getting so big - 2# 9 oz! Dr. Larson said I'm perfect. He gave me a little bitty shot (just like Patricia likes!) for something called Lepto. I didn't like that at all. He had to stick me twice because I yelped & jumped and I peeped on Mommy's arm but she didn't care. She gave me lots of kisses and hugs & then I forgot about it! Afterward we met Daddy for supper & I took a long nap in my bag while Mommy ate. No one even knew I was there!

When we got home, Mommy picked me up to go outside & I cried alot. I couldn't tell her what was wrong - seemed like something hurt me. But after a good sleep last night, I'm all better!

I've got to go cos Mommy says we've got to get ready for work!

Shh! Don't tell Bella! May 25, 2008

The only way I can get even with Bella for taking my toys is to wait til she's gone & take hers!
