What A Week

November 20th, 2009

My mom has been hogging the computer writing her book for that NANO contest I had mentioned before so this has been the first chance I have gotten to write to you. I went to Pawsh Dog Boutique on Wednesday and got a haircut, bath, the whole works. I love them there and all my friends are always there also. This time I did get a little frustrated when they kept trying to trim my beard and clean up my face. My mom and roommate always try to do the same thing to me and I get so mad. How would they like me scratching at their face because I didn’t like the way something looked? Anyways, I came out looking very handsome and my mom was pleased as always! She had left with out me knowing so when she came to pick me up I got so excited and ran into her arms and once again scratched her by accident. I licked her all over her face to make up for it.

Thursday I started not feeling so hot so today my mom took me to the vet. I was nervous at first that they were going to do what they did last time to me. I also did not want to go home with a cone on my head. Last time my mom had left me so I decided I would make her stay with me for the whole appointment so I would be safe.

Luckily she came into the exam room with me and all was going smoothly. I was being calm and letting the doctors check me out but then my mom left. I yelped and cried. Finally I just gave in. Whatever was going to happen was going to happen and I had no say in it.

They did one quick thing (it’s embarassing so I’m not going to share sorry guys) and then led me into the lobby where I saw my mom waiting for me. I jumped from the lady who was carrying me and ran to my mom. I felt a huge wave of relief come over me. She had waited for me and we were going home! The doctor decided to put me on some new dry food and gave my mom a rather large bag of it to take home.

I felt bad for my mom because we had to walk all the way home and she had to carry the huge bag. I kept getting tired and jumping at my moms legs so she would pick me up and carry me. She was struggling but so was I. We compromised and took breaks sitting on the park benches when I needed to rest. I curled in her lap and we sat on the bench together. The whole time I dreaded hearing her say, “Okay let’s go” and putting me back on the ground to walk.

We are home now and my mom is tired and bugging me to get off the computer because she needs to get a certain number of words in for her story. I don’t know what she is talking about but I am not sleepy. My roommate worked super late and is now doing work in her bedroom so there is not much for me to do.

Hmmm… I am sure I will find some trouble to get into! Any suggestions?

Water Fountains & Hide and Seek

September 16th, 2009

Yesterday was an amazing day! I woke up feeling groggy and tired but my mom was full of energy of some odd reason. She took a fast shower while I snoozed on the bath mat. She threw clothes on and grabbed my harness. I wanted to yell, “Hello mom, I am still sleeping..relax!” but I didn’t. Instead I decided to hide under the bed. She can’t get me when I am under there haha!!

After a little while she pretended to leave and actually fooled me. She yelled good bye and walked to the front door. She opened and closed the door but never left, she even turned out the lights! I ran to the front door soo fast and that was when she almost got me BUT I am a fast little guy. We ended up playing hide and seek for an hour before she caught me and we went outside. I had a blast playing hide and seek…not sure if she did!

We went to the Commons for a long time. My hair is still very shaggy (getting groomed Friday at Posh Dog Boutique) which means I get hot quickly. Mom forgot to bring my water bottle and I was thirsty. The problem was I didn’t want to go home yet! I had met a dog named Hamlet and we had just finished playing when my mom started leading me towards home. I threw myself on the ground and refused to walk. This is what I do when I am too hot to walk or I don’t want to leave the park. I was feeling a little of both this time.

My mom usually picks me up and carries me until I am ready to walk/cooperate. This time she gave in and sat down with me. I was shocked and didn’t know what to do. We stayed there for a little while and then I got up and we proceeded to walk through the whole park. Just as we had walked past the Swan Boats my mom picked me up and carried me to this weird stone thing. I had no clue what was going on and all I wanted to do was go back to chasing the geece. She balanced me on her knee and hit some weird silver round thing that made the stone sculpture shoot out water. It was amazing. At first I got water in my ear and couldn’t figure out how to drink the water from this magical invention. After a little while I figured it out! It was amazing. My mom told me later that it was a water fountain. What a great idea!! I was able stay at the park longer and meet other dogs thanks to this “water fountain”.

Now if you go to the Public Gardens a lot like myself you must make sure to go around the whole park so you can enjoy this so called water fountain. You won’t regret it!! I promise!!

Not sure what my plans are today but you know I will keep you all informed! What are you plans today?
