There is joy in each morning! Not only do I get to wake Mom, Sparky and Greta, I have new friends that like to play chase. They are the two rabbits that live in the briar patch on the edge of the great forest next to my house.
Every morning the two of my cottontail friends are waiting on the grassy median for our daily romp. I am always IT in our game. We play rain or shine, foggy or clear. Maybe you can see my buddy in this picture.
If only I could catch them...
WOW!!! My mom had something done to her mouth the other day. She came in from the doctor and slept for 18 hours. I stayed by her side, taking breaks only for food and potty. Sparky helped me guard her room. We growled and barked if anyone came near the door. Mom was not to be bothered!!! She woke up for a few hours and we hung out.
That night she went back to bed but didn't stay there long. She spent a lot of time in the bathroom throwing up. She must've been very sick. I found her sleeping on the floor so I kissed her and licked her face to wake her up. She told me what a good dog I am. Then she called my human brother who came and took her to the hospital. Mom is back home and OK. She tells me I am her HERO for waking her up when she "passed out."
Maybe she should try eating grass. It works for me, Greta and Sparky.
Profile in courage.
Oh, what is a princess to do!!!! We have new humans in our house and Mom has been out of town. It is summer and I should be relaxing on a Florida or Hawaiian beach. But I am here enjoying my friends. Sue is such fun. She was over here the other day sleeping in a fancy chair (that I am not allowed to chew on). I was in my princess seat (the stool) beside her. She slid out of the chair, hit my seat, and sent me flying across the room! I don't think she woke up.
Bethel and Tiffy are staying in my house. They are fun and funny. Tiffy plays with me a lot. She says she likes cats best. I am not sure what that means.
My motto: Play more, worry less.
At the resort some people call The Compound, where Sparky and I are vacationing while Mom's away, we celebrated TJL's birthday. Guinness hasn't been feeling very well, but Margot actually played with me! And Rex, too!
Here are some toys that I got from Guinness and Margot's toybox. Rex is the biggest toy of all!
And here's a photo of the birthday boy holding me.
He takes good care of me and gives Sparky shots while Mom's away.
Okay, there was a little incident. See, there was LOTS of food at the birthday party. Grilled burgers and sausages. Potato salad. Baked beans. More food than my aunt could eat, but she'd already put a sausage on her plate. So she told my uncle to just wrap it in a paper towel and put it on her desk for later.
Then some other friends, R&L, came to The Compound. There was lots of dog playing and picture taking and cake eating. And later, my aunt found a paper towel on the floor of the office, and no sausage and no hotdog bun.
Now THEY say I'm the only dog who ever disappeared for a few minutes. But I'm just a little girl. How would I ever be able to pull that off without help?
Like Margot says, they can't prove ANYTHING.
(burp)
It is party night! Once a week TJL comes to see me, Sparky and Greta. He does a bunch of stuff around here for my mom. He gets upset with us if we walk on his floors when they are wet. But he takes us in the car to see Rex, Margot & Guinness. We play. They have lots of neat toys. I like taking all of them out of the box, carrying them all around my aunt's house and playing with them all. Margot is a little moody. Sometimes she will play with me but not much. On the other paw, Rex and I run, bark, chew, romp, play, fight, bite & all that other fun stuff. We watch Survivor. My favorite is Boo. Just because I think that is a cool name. But I think he will get voted off soon unless someone takes the control away from Earl.
Our neighbor, Eve, has two older dogs that are boxers like her and two humans, Mom and Dad. Eve is a young, bouncy, peppy girl that likes to get out for a good romp, like me!!! She and I have done most of our talking through the fence. We have tried digging to see each other, but our humans get so testy about a few holes in the yard. My mom and Eve's mom finally let us get together for a romp. We played and played then Sue and Sieg came to visit and we played more. They had to go home but Eve ended up spending the night with me and we stayed up for a long time playing. My mom is such a slacker. She did not get a picture of my friend and our party. She promised to get one of Eve soon.
Edit: Look! Now with a photo!
Grrrrr, kickin' boxer butt!
