I match the trees color!

Mommy is on something called "Bed Rest" so I am not sure why we are outside, except she said that the doctor approved a walk with me, so I guess that's good, cause I love a walk!

We went to my favorite spot in the park, I can look for squirrels and ducks at the same time!  I love them!  These walks with Mommy are great, she is slow these days so I get to sniff everything!

Don't I look good in the picture?  I am very serious!

Spring

I am tired of winter.... I want spring. Mommy says I will get to go outside more and get longer walk-walks... So come on spring, I can not live on sun-patches alone!!!

A bear is coming!

Mommy said that this is our last long walk for a few days cause some sort of Polar Bear named Vortex is coming to our city... again!  I don't really like bears, so I guess we won't be taking long walks.  Mommy said that it'll be too cold for long walks, but that makes no sense, but whatevs.... I am soaking up the walk today! This is me today on my walk, Mommy is taking too long with all the pictures, I want to walk!

I'll show you....

This baby has no idea what he is doing... he's a city baby. I am a country dog (mommy says I'm not, I'm a city dog, but I'm not listening to her). I'll show the baby what bugs to eat.

I may have short legs...

So, good news, the baby got dinner... Mommy pulled out the bin to put up Christmas stuff, then she left the room to put the baby to bed... I am smart, and I got the rest of the babies dinner.  Delish!

I bite!

I am evil... I will bite with my razor sharp teeth! Rrharharharhar!!!! just kidding... Daddy is tickling me, I'm just laughing.  But I look mean, huh?

Traveled to see Grandma... and I am on the mend!

I am feeling much better since my teefers came out.  I can eat better, and bite better (if I needed to)... my face isn't all puffy... it's great!  Mommy says that I am back to my old self, except for the brain damage, but I have no idea what she means by that.

We went to see Grandma this last weekend and she was so nice, she put blankets all over the furniture so I could burrow.  Which is odd since she wouldn't let me burrow under them... huh.  Whatevs, blankets were comfys.

My Toof Hurts

So, every year around September, I have to make sure Mommy and Daddy love me. I do that by getting sick and then they have to prove their love, monetarily. And by that I mean spend hundreds of dollars on vet bills.  For the last month I have had a bit of a face "issue".  A bulge under my left eye.  Mommy and Daddy thought maybe it was allergies, but they were wrong!! They took  me to the vet and found out I have a tooth abscess.  It hurts. If you look close at my selfie, you can see the bulbous tooth under my eye. 

So today... I get to go to the vet and they are gonna pull my tooth.  Mommy is very nervous 'cause she says I have to "go under" and that is scary.  But that is dumb, I LOVE to go under... under the blankets, under the pillows, under the bed... under is good.  jeez.  

Update

I am feeling a whole lot better these days.  Mommy says my fur is looking good, and my eyes are bright.  I feel good... Oh, and I am eating great these days since that baby likes to share.  I am waiting nearby in case that baby drops something.  I am enjoying the sun while I wait.

A Little Trim

I had a very exciting week!  I got my hair cut!  I was upstaged by Mommy who also got her hair cut this week.  I think we both look great.  Mommy went a bit shorter than I did... but I still think my cut looks drastic.  I hope going short doesn't make me look fat.....

BEFORE

AFTER

Three and a half

I am Three and a Half!  Mommy says the baby is 8 months.  Such a baby! I am a big girl.  I have been feeling a lot better lately, Mommy says it is because they are "weaning" me off of my medicine, which translates  LESS CHEESE!  Suucks.  I love cheese.  In the morning Daddy makes me cheese balls from shredded cheese and says he hides something in there.  I think he hides love, 'cause I LOVE cheese. 

Anyway, just showing you my 3 1/2 picture, don't know why the baby is there, but whatever. 

My Duck

So... the baby has a rubber ducky in the bath.  I LOVE that rubber ducky.  Mommy bought me my own for my bath.  I am going to hold on to it in case she decides to give it to that baby.  I love him.  

UPDATE:  I ripped his head off shortly after this picture was taken.  Mommy took him away and told me that I couldn't have another one.  I don't want another one silly, I want MY ducky, I was just about to find his squeaker!  ugh!

Activity Mat!

I haven't been feeling great lately, but on the upside, I've gotten some serious one on one time with Daddy.  I also seem to have free reign of this activity mat.  Sometimes that baby lays on it, and when he gets up, mommy puts the mat away... but lately she leaves it there and I lay down and nobody says "no!"

Here I am waiting for the baby to finish up his "play time" so I can work on my "nap time"

I don't drool....

I am ready... Daddy, after you feed that baby, I would like to be fed too.... I'll wait.

Waterfall

When/Where: We were walkin near a water thingy
My Mood: ehh....

We went for a long walk tonight since Daddy was using the apartment to do work stuff with a co-worker.... I didn't want to take a long walk, I wanted to wiggle and whine for our guest.  Anyway, we went to this statue thingy with a waterfall thingy and it was boooorring.

A Race!

I have decided after much thought and deliberation that I want to be a race dog!  Check me out when I run!  I am running so fast I am about to leave my tongue behind!  I watch my Daddy race in Triathlons and I decided I wanted to try it out....

When/Where: Central Park in the summer 2011
My Mood: SOOO Happy!  I am SOO fast!

(pictures taken by Mark Manne / www.MarkManne.com)

I found a ball!

When/Where: Central Park on "my hill", my favorite place in the park.

My Mood: Happy, happy, dig, dig, run, run, happy!

I FOUND A BALL IN THE PARK, OMG, OMG!  My mommy let me play with the abandoned ball and I carried it around and chased it and played with it and chewed it, it was AMAZING!

Feets are wets!

When/Where: On a walk with my jacket on

My Mood: Um, pick me up, my feets are wets!

I love to go outside.  I am not a fan of the rain.  I love my jacket 'cause it is "sunny".  I don't mind rain hitting my head, but for some reason I hate it on me feets!  I walk slow and Mommy calls me a "lollygagger"  - whatever that means.

Brush me? Die!

When/Where: a few days ago, while Mommy was attempting to brush me

My Mood: Tasmanian devil

I don't like the brush.  Get. It. Away. From. Me! 

I got it!

When/Where: last month while playing

My Mood: Happy and proud then sad that Mommy took my toy away.

I love my toys, and I love it when they squeak.  I am a curious sort, so I want to find out how they squeak, so I dig... and I dig and dig until I create a hole and then I stick my snout in and pull out the stuffing.... and then I find the squeaker and pull it out.  I am so proud of myself!  I showed mommy, but she says I am "bad" and I ruined my toy.  And then she took him away and mumbled something about him costing "15 smackers".  I am not so sure why she is upset with me, I was successful, I extracted the squeak!
