Relatives and Pupsicles

On Oct.21 I saw some very strange creatures in Dash's yard. They had webbed feet, bills and feathers. Grandma called them ducks. I've never seen such weird animals. It was fascinating to watch them. But I have one question... why does Dash have ducks in his yard?

A few days later I met my cousin Adam. He's a human. He seemed nice but he was preoccupied and didn't spend much time with me. Later his parents came by to pick him up. Uncle Paul and Aunt Laura spent a lot of time with me. I think they love me very much. I got so many scratches and rubs. I was in Heaven! I love my Aunt and Uncle!!

My mom had the day off on Oct.26. Grandma stayed in bed longer than usual so I jumped up on her bed, gave her tons of smoochies, then fell asleep. Their bed is so comfy! That night mom shared her dessert with me. It was some sort of popsicle in a cup. Or maybe I should say it was a pupsicle! I loved it!!! I wish she had given me more. It even turned my tongue blue. I should have gotten a picture.

Later I heard a dog barking and went searching for it all around the house. I never did find it. I heard my grandma say it was on a show they were watching called Cops. I don't know what she means. I just wanted to find the dog.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

On Oct.15 my family had to take the car in for maintenance (whatever that is). I missed them. But mom brought home a present for me. My very own bed!!! I slept in it for part of the night but I do like to have the whole living room to myself so I slept on parts of the floor too. Sometimes when it's hot, I like to sleep on the nice cool tile.

The next day I saw a strange little creature on our walk. Grandma called it an alligator lizard. I wanted to rub my face on it but grandma wouldn't let me. She never lets me have any fun!

Oh, no! On Oct.17 we met Dash's mom while on a walk. She said that there is a pit bull loose in the neighborhood and that it had attacked Dash. Poor Dash! I love Dash!! His mom said that Dash is okay, no serious injuries. Phew!

The next night I was running around inside our house and I accidentally knocked down my papa. Oops! Sorry, papa. Well, he wasn't really knocked down. He was able to grab a chair and stay standing. I didn't get in trouble for it. :)

Happy Birthday, Paula!

I want to wish my mom's good friend, Paula, a very happy birthday! And Happy Thanksgiving!

Black Out in Paradise

On Oct.10 mom and grandma took me for a walk. We met a Girl Scout named Amy. Amy loved me! Who doesn't? She even asked if she could hold my leash. She walked me all the way to her house then gave my leash back to my grandma. I was on my best behavior while Amy walked me... no pulling on the leash or trying to chase squirrels.

The next day when we were coming back from an afternoon walk, we met a family with 3 kids. All the kids pet me bunches and I started licking their faces. I heard the mom tell my grandma that they had just finished brownies. I knew that!!! Why did they think I was licking their faces? I love brownies! But I'm not allowed to have them because they are chocolate. :(

On Oct.12 I got to see 3 of my cat friends (don't tell mom!). Then a couple of houses down from there a dachshund came running out to see me. I wanted to play with him. When we got home, papa gave me a piece of apple. It was yummy! You know what they say... an apple a day keeps the vet away!

The next day I experienced my first black out at my new home. I had to sleep without my night lights. It didn't really bother me. I'm not afraid of the dark. The power was out from 5pm to 2am. Mom was worried she wouldn't be able to go to work. I wouldn't have minded that though... then she could spend the day with me!

Squirrels, Wolves and Normans! Oh my!

I saw my first squirrel at my new home on Oct.1. I wanted to chase it but grandma wouldn't let me. Dang!

The next day on our daily walk we stopped to see Parka and his dad. His dad tried to give me a biscuit but my mom told me not to take food from strangers. He seems nice but I don't know him well enough.

On Oct.3 we went for another walk and met a lady out walking with her granddaughters. The girls loved me and one of them said she thought I looked like a wolf!

I had lots of fun on Oct.4. First we had some visitors that grandma called Normans. They were very nice and pet me. In the afternoon mom was lounging in her lazy-boy. I came up behind her and started sniffing and chewing (kinda) her hair. It smelled sooooo good!!! She uses yummy shampoo! Anyway, she was laughing as I was sniffing and chewing and finally the whole chair toppled backward!! It was very funny. Luckily the chair wasn't broken and mom wasn't hurt. She just couldn't stop laughing even after the chair toppled. Humans are very strange.
