To Be Stubborn or Not To Be Stubborn THAT is the Question

Mom says that I am stubborn...I say I am strong willed and fun loving! Take a look at the following videos and let me know what you think.

I don't think I am stubborn. I think mom is expecting too much from a young pup like me.

If you look really close I will lay down and roll over without even being told. WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

I THINK I'VE GOT IT!

LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!!!

SNOW DAY!!!

This morning the alarm clock went off and mom turned on the TV. A few minutes later she took me outside and there was SNOW all over the ground. Then mom didn't even get ready for work she just went back to bed. She said we were having a SNOW DAY!!!! I like snow it is fun to run in, however, it is cold and I can't find anywhere to poop or pee outside. I also can't smell all the places I have marked to keep the other neighborhood animals out of our yard. It is nice to have mom home. We have been hanging out watching TV, taking a nap, mom has been drinking hot tea and reading. I really need to learn to do that everyone seem to do it a lot. Over the weekend I tried to read but I ended up eat chapters 1 thru 19 of a book mom hasn't read yet...she was a little upset. But she forgave me. Well, gotta go...the snow is calling my name... BAAIILLYY!!!

Today is your Birthday!!!

Well, ta da, TODAY FEBRUARY 28TH I HAD MY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!! When we got up this morning mom sang a song to me something about Happy Birthday. Then we called grandma and she sang me the same song. Apparently birthdays are a big deal...almost as big as Christmas it seems. The thing I like about this Birthday thing is that I got presents. Mom got me a pink pig that is like my flat un-stuffed squirrel. It has 5 squeakers in it...so far I have only gotten 2 of them out but I am working on the others. Grandma got me 3 chew toys which I am having a hard time destroying but I haven't given up yet. Mom's friend Donna and her 3 cats got me an un-stuffed raccoon which I have accomplish to remove both of its squeakers. Yesterday my food got switched completely to grown up food (it was half puppy food and half grown-up food for about the past 2 weeks). So I am growing-up! Also Mom got rid of my harness and now I have a collar. Now I even look grown up.

Other news...I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO SIT!!! This apparently makes everyone happy and they give me treats and cookies. So now all they need to do is ask if I want a cookie and I just go ahead and sit down. Mom is trying to teach me to lay down but I haven't quite got the hang of that yet.

So anyway, Happy Birthday to ME! I am no longer a baby...I'm a big girl NOW!

Flat Squirrel

One of my many Christmas presents was a flat un-stuffed squirrel. I love this squirrel. Grandma got it for me. It is about a foot and a half long and it had a squeaker in its head and tail before I surgically removed them. Here are some pictures of Grandma laying on the couch and me playing with my squirrel with her...

Here we are on the couch.

There is my squirrel. Doesn't grandma look like she is having a great time! I thought so!

Christmas...Interesting

Christmas was very interesting. First off there was a tree in grandma's house. It was not a normal tree it was very shiny and sparkly and when ever I went over to it to take a closer look mom or grandma would say, "NO BAILEY!" So I would leave it alone. I did find one of the shiny balls on the floor and boy were they quick to take it away from me. Like I said before Uncle Dave and Aunt Rebecca were suppose to come but they got sick, so it was just grandma, mom, and me. Grandma said she couldn't get the presents under the tree (why would you put presents under a tree?), so they decided to put them on top of my big kennel. This was very interesting. Then when we got up Christmas morning Santa had locked our stockings in my kennel. Check it out...

I am not sure I understand it but boy I like it!

More of that Furry Red Guy

Over Christmas mom got more of those furry red things. She got a Hokie-Pokie Elmo from her friend Donna, grandma found an Elmo in a Christmas stocking that sings Jingle-Bells, and Uncle Dan and Aunt JuJu got her a metal tray wtih Elmo on it. I like the tray the best. Below are some videos of the other new ones mom got. Boy that red thing is scary!
