I feel good....

I visited the dogtor last week.  I don't know why, I feel just fine.  I didn't mind, because I got to see Sparkles.  She's a cat that stays there all the time!

Then I went back to see the dogtor again!  Just yesterday!  I'm not sick so I don't understand.  And this time I got poked a couple of times.  It was ok though, because I got some treats!

I felt really tired last night, but Mom gave me ice cream.  Peanut butter...my favorite!

I wonder why I keep going to the dogtor?  Why?

 Harry has a big adventure coming up.  He doesn't know it yet, but I think he suspects something.

I've got all my nephews with me!

Oh, wow!  Wow, wow, wow!  Guess what?  I have a new.....nephew!  That's because my hooman sister adopted a rescue dog just like me!  Well, he isn't exactly like me, haha!  He's little.  And he has more fluffy fur.....his name is Amos!

He had a ruff time for a while.  But things will get better for him real fast!

It's like EVERYBODY in my family has dogs!  Yay!

 Welcome to the family, little Amos!!!

It's Not Easy Being Green.

Boy, oh boy, do I like summer!  I've been getting lots of doggie ice cream!  My most favorite thing in the whole world!!  I get ice cream after our big evening walk....not everyday, but lots  more because it's hot outside.  

And the other nice thing is I get to see my friends more!  Nobody likes to go out in the winter, but everybody is outside now!  Yay! 

We take bigger walks now, too.  I get to try and chase chipmunks, but Mom gets mad at me.  And sometimes I find something tasty on the ground.  Mom gets mad at me when I do that, too.  She yells at me.  So I drop what I have.  Darn it.  It was just a tasty morsel, Mom......why can't I have it?  Oh well, ice cream is better, anyway.

It happens every summer.  Little frogs are born and some of them don't make it.  There are always a few that dry up on the pavement.  Harry has a fondness for them.  Ick.  Aggghhh!  He is very fast and slurps them up like lightning.  But I keep a close watch.  "DROP IT!"  And he does.  I suppose for him it is like a piece of jerky.  And to think of all the wonderful things I feed him.  You can take the dog out of the street, but.....


 

Spooky

Mystery

What are you and why are you here?

Big, mystery monster box

Just sitting over there...

What do you want with me?

My old bed sits inside

Smells like me and that I like

And my treats now always hide

Within your walls, a chore for me

To find them. That's just wrong.

I do not like this giant box

Even with no lights, no sound, no song

This thing disturbs me.

You bother me, big old box
What do you have in store for me?
I guess one day I will find out
Until then, you are a mystery.

Someone's knocking at the door, somebody's ringing the bell.....

Way, way back, a long time ago when I was a scaredy dog and I didn't know what was going to happen to me, I was afraid of lots and lots of things.   Even when I found my forever home, I was still pretty scared.

When someone came to the door, I would run away and hide!  I didn't want anyone to take me away and I didn't want anyone to hurt me....so I ran.

But that was when I was still a pup.  I'm all grown up now and not so scared anymore.

And, guess what?  My pack got a new front door!  I can see through it all over the place!  I can see up and down the street and I can see other dogs walking by and when one of the pack is outside, I don't yell at them anymore, because I can SEE them!  I love the new door!

Lots of people have been coming by, too! When I hear the bell ring,  I like to be FIRST at the door, hahaha!  I go running to beat Mom to it.  Who is it?  Do I know you?  I don't know why all these people are coming over lately, but I think it's fun!

We are family...

Oh, hey!  I thought you might like to see my nephew!  I have never met him in person, but I get to see lots of pictures of him.  He lives kind of far away in Wisconsin.   His name is Winston, so his Mom got an old box that has his name on it.  See?  He's kind of cute!

I'm leaving on a jet plane.....

Mmmmmm.  Mom went away.  She went away for a long, long time.  It seemed like FOREVER!  I was so, so happy when she came back!   I had a nice walk with Kai one day, but I still missed my Mom.  Something is going on, though.   I don't know what it is.  Mom and Dad are yammering away lots and lots.  Yammer, yammer.  Talk, talk, talk.......Mom didn't feel too good for a couple of days, but I was so glad to have my morning nap partner back!  What's all this yammering?  Oh, well......speaking of naps......I didn't sleep so well when Mom was away....I think I will settle in for a nice nap.  Maybe I will dream of being Super Spotter!

I was away for 5 days.  I was in Europe.  A bad case of jet lag followed me home. Harry has some surprises in his future.
