Is that a bird? Is it a plane?

No! It's Santa Scout!!! I love this time of year for many reasons:

1. We put a tree INSIDE the house! I don't get to pee on it, but how cool is it that there is a TREE INSIDE MY HOUSE?!

2. Santa comes to see me and he brings me presents. I'm not sure what presents I'm going to get due to my current situation(refer to previous post), but I'm sure he won't forget me!

3. My favorite thing about this time of year is that I get to wear my Santa hat! I love my Santa hat!! When Mommy and Daddy take it off of me...I feel sad and naked. I was walking with Mommy today (Daddy is out of town *tear*) and a man in a truck stopped to ask if I was Santa. I thought...how stupid is that man...I'm just a dog...MORON!


Wishing you and yours a happy holiday season!

Fatty Fatty Bo Batty!

I went to the vet last week and it turns out that I'm a big fatty. I have put on nearly 10 pounds! That is a lot of a sweet little puppy. Mommy and Daddy have put me on very strict diet. The amount of food that I get in my dish twice a day has been cut by a 25% and I'm not supposed to get very many treats. I'm not sure if the treat thing upset me or Granny more. Granny sure does like to give me treats! I guess my New Years Resolution is going to be like everyone else...to lose weight! See you at the gym!!

Gobble Gobble, Happy Thanksgiving

Mommy, Daddy and I went up to Granny's house for Thanksgiving. I got to ride in the Mini Cooper. I've never been in the Mini and I really like riding in it. While I was at Granny's I got to do some fun things that I'm not allowed to do at home. First of all, I'm allowed to get on the furniture and nobody yells at me. In fact, they encouraged me to get on the couch or the bed. It was awesome! The other thing that I got to do was to go outside without a leash! I was allowed to go in the backyard and the frontyard with out my leash on. I was a good girl and never ran away. I'm working really hard to build the trust of Mommy and Daddy. I think I showed them how grown up I really am! The last day we were at Granny's house Daddy went out and raked Granny's leaves for her. While he was raking, I got to play in the front yard and chew on my treat. Ahhh, sweet freedom!

Squirrel Watch 2008

Mommy put some pretty flowers outside on the back porch. This was all fine and dandy until the squirrels came. The squirrels thought that the pretty flowers were a sweet treat for them to eat...they were WRONG! Mommy and Daddy gave me the very important job of Official Squirrel Watcher.

It is my job to look out the back door and alert Mommy and Daddy if any squirrels come on the back deck. I had to go through a rigorous training period with Daddy. He showed me how to watch for the squirrels. I did a pretty good job of this, but sometimes I would get tired and fall asleep and then those pesky squirrels would come while I was sleeping. They must have been the official dog watchers. When I was a good puppy and saw the squirrels, Daddy would let me go out and try to catch them. They were lucky that they could fit throught rails and I couldn't or I would have caught them!
