Traveling and Itching

I've been traveling a lot these last few weeks. First I went to visit Aunt Molly and the grandparents in Houston. Then I stayed with Aunt Abbey in Stamford. I had to stay outside, and it was hot. I don't understand why they wouldn't let me stay inside where there's air conditioning and fun new things to sniff and chew on.

Plus Abbey kept eating my food... I'd tell her to stop, but she's deaf (supposedly) so that didn't help.

Oh, and I also went to the Vet for the last time! I say last time, because if Mommy and Daddy ever try to leave me there again I will throw the nastiest barking and whining fit you've ever seen.

Mommy left me there before work the Friday we were leaving for Stamford. I had four shots (I hate shots) and all sorts of other invasive procedures. After a long nap, Daddy picked me up and took me home, but while they were packing my nose started to itch really bad! Then it spread to my face.

Mommy and Daddy looked scared, commenting on how swelled my face looked... so they stopped packing and - get this - they took me BACK to the Vet!! Where's the logic in that? Isn't that what got me so messed up in the first place??

So the vet gave me some pills that made me sleepy, and fortunately my face stopped itching.

And that was my dramatic day at the Vet.

Not a whole lot happening since then. Uncle Clint is in town this weekend. I like him because he lets me lick his face and his feet (Mommy and Daddy don't let me do that as much as they used to.)

Here are some pictures and another video. Click on the images for larger sizes. Thanks for checking in!

Old Videos

Here are some old videos from when I was a little puppy.


This one was taken the day Mommy and Daddy brought me home:




And this one was a few days later.




Wasn't I cute?!?!?!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

I turned 1 year old on Sunday, March 18th! And what did Mommy and Daddy do for me?

They got me a toy that lasted less than a day, and a bright pink sweater that they made me wear so they could take pictures.

Yippee.... Here's a video so you can see how excited I was about my new shirt... (the audio is a little delayed - while I have been trying to learn how to throw my voice, I'm not quite there... YET.)



So it's been a while since I've updated this little blog. See, my paws are getting so big that for every letter I try to type, I end up pressing 4 other keys which I then have to delete. It's very time consuming, you see. But I'll keep practicing.

Fortunately I've started using Blogspot, which is a lot more user-friendly than that archaic Geocities garbage. Blogging on that site was like being in a time warp back to 1995.

Other than my birthday what have I been doing lately? It's pretty much business as usual around here. I get up in the morning and rush to Mommy and Daddy's warm bed where I can lay down and watch them get ready. Sometimes Daddy hits the "snooze" a few too many times, so I have to help him up by licking him all over the face.

I'm also helping them remove the carpet from their bedroom. I've started by the bedroom door, removing strands of the carpet at a time. They act like they don't want my help, but they'll thank me later. That carpet is ugly. (I'm also helping expedite the couch-replacement process).

Now that it's staying light outside longer, I get to go on more walks. Daddy usually takes me, but he's been able to convince Mommy to pull herself away from the couch and her Freecell game to join us a couple of times.

Anyway, here are some pictures taken of me since Christmas.

Found a puddle after a hard rain. I swear I smelled something down there...

...and I ended up a little bit muddy.

You! Rub my tummy! Now!
