I think they figured it out!

I went for a walk today, just me and Mom...and I was having so much fun, I forgot to pull on the leash and pretend like I was choking...do you think she knows I was faking it the other day...

Mom said it was cold out, so we only walked for a mile or so. Sadie was at the groomers, so it was just me and MOM...that was awesome! I rarely get one on one time. But I was so excited, there were so many smells, the neighbor dogs were trying to get me to come an play... I forgot to pretend that I cannot stand the leash....darn!

I think Mom and Dad are on to me!

Going for a Walk!

I absolutely love going for walks! OMG! The smells that are out there in the world! Mom and Dad have been taking us for walks the past couple of nights, and it has been awesome! Tonight it was Sadie, Lucie and me and we had so much fun! (Although I did feel bad for Sam but Mom said he couldn't afford to use up the extra calories) Mom left Sam a bowl of ice instead!

There are so many kids and dogs in our neighborhood. They come over and pet me and I just love it! Then, while we were walking, Sadie found a piece of Easter chocolate! I was so jealous! But Dad yelled, Mom took it out of her mouth and so I figured she must be in some kind of trouble. Glad it wasn't me, cuz Dad said it wasn't good for her...

The only problem is, they make us wear these things called leashes???!!! I hate it! It makes me choke and gag and I can't go where I really want to go. What is their problem? Tonight, the neighbor dog was walking behind us and growling and I couldn't go and bark back at him. Besides, it makes me choke...what is up with that? Why can't I walk where I want to walk, life just isn't fair!!

Spring is here!

Signs of Spring are all around...I can see grass, Sam is uncovering more poop, Lucie is finding the bird seed that has been hiding all winter under the snow and Sadie has a new spring in her step, wanting to play ball and chasing the squirrels into the woods. I love this time of year! It stays light later, and the weather is warmer, but I really love the wind! The way it blows my ears back, sends leaves racing across the yard, and just brings all these wonderful smells into the yard for me to check out! Spring is Here!

This is the Life!

Boy, this is the life! It may be cold outside, but laying here, safe and snug inside, the sun feels really great! The only problem is that I have to share the sunshine with all these other animals! I wonder why Dad and Mom don't like to lay here with us? I wouldn't lick their faces, really, I wouldn't...but I can't promise what Sam and Lucie would do. So, I decided to let Katie lay with us. She said she would clean my ears if I let her have Prime Spot in the sunshine! What a deal! I think I got the better of her, but she doesn't realize it. The only problem is that Zach (the tough cat) decided he wants to lay with us too. He is really pushy! How dare he think he can take up some of my sunshine!

Dad took us outside today, it was a lot colder out there than it looked. He cleaned up some of the yard (wouldn't let Sam help!), but got mad at me when I kept warning the neighbors not to come to close! They really should know just how tough I am. I do have a house to protect, you know...

Who Says Cats are Smarter than Dogs???

Mom was nice enough to take this picture for me. This is Abby, she is one of the four PITA's, I mean cats, that live with me. Every morning Abby thinks she is so cool because she can jump in the tub and she usually makes sure to do it while I am watching because she knows my short legs will never make it. Most mornings, it is empty...but boy did she get a surprise this morning!!! :-D And she wasn't very happy about it either! That'll show her!

It's Raining!

It is raining today, not only is it raining, it is pouring! I was outside an hour ago, and look at my hair, it is still wet and sticking up! You would think Mom or Dad would blow it dry for me, but Noooo, they just look at me and laugh and make fun of me. Don't they realize that hurts my feelings? I pride myself on how good I look and I really don't appreciate being made fun of. They don't make fun of Lucie's hair (of course it really doesn't look any different!). We were supposed to get a snowstorm, but instead, we got all this rain. I can't even walk outside without my tail getting soaking wet. I don't think I have ever seen so much water in my life!

Laying in the Sun

What a nice day out today! We had sunshine, snow on the ground and Dad Snowblowing! It was so relaxing laying in the sun, getting a tan, chasing the cats away so they didn't get a sunburn, good thing I am around to protect them! Then, Dad went outside and snowblowed a path for us to play in! Good thing too, cuz Lucie is a baby and doesn't like to run through the deep snow. I can though, cuz I am bigger than her! I just love playing outside in the snow, everything is clean and white, I can follow the squirrels path better and sometimes the snow is deep enough that we don't get zapped on the invisible fence and I can make it all the way to the woods, although, not today, sadly...but we still had fun out there. Now, Dad and Mom are relaxing and watching the race and life is good, we can all curl up on the couch, snuggle with them and keep warm. My kind of day!
