ROUND 2

It has been two days since my last blog and guess what ... we got MORE snow!!!! Tuesday night it started snowing and didn't stop until yesterday evening. The path mom dug for me got all filled back up with snow...THIS IS NOT FUN! We are suppose to go to grandma's house this weekend...I hope she has some grass and less snow. Mom says she either has more or about the same amount...UNCLE!!!!

However, this morning mom shoveled again. On Tuesday I tried to jump on top of the snow and I fell right in and I couldn't get out...so I just barked and barked. Mom formed a search and rescue party, which ment she had to put on her shoes, and she came to rescue me. From then on I didn't want to go out any more. But today our neighbor's BJ and Lady we out in their yard and I wanted to go out so here is some pictures and video of what happened today! Oh by the way we are still looking for the back yard...the Holly bush is now missing too...I think we should report it to the police...If any one sees our yard PLEASE let us know!

If you listen really close you can hear BJ and Lady barking.

I don't know about you but I have had enough snow...

LONG TIME...NO BLOG

It has been about 4 months since my last blog and I just have to say it is not my fault. Mom has been busy working, not only is she teaching every day from 7:15 to 2:45 but she is working for 2 different after school programs that run from 2:45 to 5:00. Add too that...she is back in grad school to get her second masters, so needless to say time for me on the computer has been limited. A lot has happened in the past 4 months, first mom no longer puts me in the kennel when she goes to work...I had figured out how to unlock both locks and when she got home I was out anyway, so GOOD-BYE KENNEL!!!! Second, the reason I can blog today is because on Friday it started snowing and when we got up Saturday there was A LOT of snow on the ground. By the time it stopped later Saturday we had between 2 and 3 feet of snow. Mom shoveled a path in the back yard for me because I don't like to go potty unless there is grass. Mom put on my coat and I went out to see where our yard went. I am still looking for it, if any of you see it please let me know...I think someone took it.
On Sunday I helped mom shovel the front steps. I really don't like the snow it makes life really difficult. The one thing I do like is that mom came home early Friday and she has been home ever since (with the exception of when she went out for lunch yesterday [Monday]).

This is our steps looking out the frond door Saturday morning.

Here I am trying to figure out what happened to our neighborhood...IT GONE!!!!

This is our back yard before mom shoveled on Saturday...it was still snowing!

This was after mom shoveled a path for me to some grass (it was more like mud)...I DON'T LIKE SNOW!!!

LET ME IN! LET ME IN! LET ME IN!

Here are 2 videos mom took. ENJOY!!

SNOW IS FOR THE BIRDS!!!!

"This is the way we shovel snow, shovel snow, shovel snow. This is the way we shovel snow so we can see our neighbors."

FYI my birthday is coming up...February 28th, I WILL BE TWWWOOOO!

My Birthday Wish is...

TO HAVE WEATHER LIKE THIS!!!!!

Grandma can we go back to the beach! PPPLLLLEEEAAASSEE!!

A REAL VACATION

Over the weekend we (mom, grandma, and me) went on a real vacation. We didn’t just go to Grandma’s house and do stuff there. We went on a real vacation to Ocean City, Maryland. I had never been there but both mom and grandma had been there lots and lots. Mom and Grandma said we were going to the beach but I had no idea what a beach was. Mom said it was like the park but better.

We got up on Friday morning and got in the car. I still am not a big fan of the car but lately we have been going to really neat places. I got to sit on grandma’s lap and look out the window. It was really fun until we got to the Bay Bridge. I didn’t like it at all the bridge has these big steel things that went over the top of the car they scared me but mom and grandma said it was going to be okay and soon we were off the bridge and on our way. We stopped once to get gas and go to the bathroom. We also stopped at the cute little white house I thought we were going to stay there but mom said no that this is where they stayed when she was a girl. Then grandma said that it was too early to go to the hotel so she thought we should go to the boardwalk.

Do you know what a boardwalk is? I didn’t but I do now. It is even funnier than the doggie park if you can imagine. I LOVE THE BOARDWALK!!!! There are lots of different smells, people, and dog there. If you are lucky you can find a French Fry, a wadde of gum, or part of an ice cream cone that some one dropped. We would walk around and then sit on a bench and people we didn’t even know would walk up and tell me how cute, adorable, or beautiful I am. Those people are pretty smart! There were all kinds of dogs big ones, little ones, cute ones, and ugly ones. I also learned this weekend that not all humans like dogs and not all dogs like dogs.

We stay at a hotel called “The Barefoot Mailman”. It was a lot different from our house and grandma’s house. It was a big room with 2 beds in it. It had a TV, DVD & VCR, Microwave, and Refrigerator. There was a bathroom too. It was a lot of fun there I could get on mom’s bed and jump over to grandma’s bed without even touching the floor.

There was a pool where all the dogs and their humans hung out in the afternoon. The dogs were not allowed in the pool but we ran around the edge and made our humans nervous. Mom said she didn’t want to have to jump in to save me.

On Sunday we went to the beach. I agree with Uncle Dan...I like it all except when it flushes (that's what he said when he was little). After the beach Sunday morning we went back to the hotel and watch the Redskins game. Mom says they haven't been doing to well this season.
It is exhausting rooting for the Redskins.

I don't think I can do this anymore.

So we put on our redskin stuff and cheered them on and who knew they won.

It was a great time and mom and grandma are thinking we should do this every year. We will have to wait and see. I suggest that everyone go to Ocean City, Maryland...It was the best vacation even better than going to grandma's. Be on the look out for new blog posts with pictures from the boardwalk and beach.

SUMMER BLUES

Well, it is that time of year again. I have the summer blues. We get home from vacation and mom is headed back to work. I really hate work. It means that mom is gone all day.

Mom and I went to grandma's for summer vacation. We did lots of fun stuff while I was there. I got to play with Kato and Titus. The first day we were there mom and grandma went out and left me in the big bathroom. I got so upset that I tore the linen closet door off the hinges and chewed some of the laminate off. Grandma was not happy about that so she bought a small kennel like the one I have at home but much smaller. Every time I try to stand on my back legs I hit my head on the top. One day I even figured out how to open the door from the inside and I meet mom and grandma at the door when they came home. Mom and grandma did a lot of things that I couldn't do because "NO DOGGIES ALLOWED!" They went to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA and since I couldn't go they took Tucker and Kylie grandma's neighbors and my friend Titus' humans.


This is Tucker and Kylie with the World's Biggest Crayon!



Here is mom coloring with Tucker and Kylie...boy don't those crayon look yummy!

This is Tucker and Kylie with Mr. Crayon.

We went to a lake...I had never been to a lake. It kind of looks like a really big bathtub. It was very exciting where we were...We could see all the people bringing their bath toys (boats) and putting them in and out of the water. Mom and grandma had a picnic lunch and I got to smell all kinds of new things.

That thing on the back of that truck is one of those boats...but I think they look like bath toys.

It is very interesting to watch all the comings and goings!

While we were there mom took me down to the water. I LOVE THE WATER!!! I walked all the way in to my neck. Then mom and I got on this floaty thing. It is where the people were bringing their "boats"

It had very interesting smells too. While we were walking around on the float I looked in the water and mom and grandma were talking about swimming and the next thing I knew I was in the water. I swam all the way to shore.

I like getting wet and it was fun to roll in the grass and dirt to get dry.

While we were at grandma's my friend, Titus, gave me some new toys. Here is picture of them before mom gave them to me. Don't they look nice?

Now here is a video of what I did to the black and white dog on the left.

Best of all I love going to grandma's because she has birds and I like to chase and bark at them. But most of all I love being anywhere my mom is!

LET'S GO TO THE MOVIES!!!

Since mom is only working 4 days a week during summer school and it is only half days we get to watch a lot of movies. I like to watch TV. My favorite show is "The Dog Whisperer". I get very concerned when the "bad" dog bark and act inappropriately but I listen to Cesar (the dog whisperer). When he says to sit I sit. He is very good with dogs.
People say that dogs can't see or watch TV. Something about our eyes aren't made for it. Below you will see that that is not true. Here I am watching one of my favorite movies "Underdog".

If you haven't seen "Underdog" yet you really should it is a great movie...that Beagle is a very good actor! See you at the MOVIES!!

VACATION

Well, it has been a busy few weeks for me. Mom says I had a vacation but parts of it were kind of stressful. First, Grandma went to California to see Uncle Dan and Aunt Juju, I think I wrote about that in my last blog. So Grandma came back and boy was I excited to see her. Then a couple of days later Grandma put me in her car and we left mom at home I guess. They said something about Uncle Dave and Aunt Rebecca house but I never saw them. Here is a picture of me watching grandma getting ready to take me to her house.


I spent a lot of days at Grandma's. We went for walks and we visited Grandma's friends Pat and Steve. I got in trouble at Pat and Steve's when we left I didn't want to get in the car so I shrugged out of my car harness and ran down the street. Grandma was not happy with me but she forgave me and all was right in my world again. There were lots of things to do at Grandma's. Grandma has a bunny rabbit in her yard that I got to chase and she also has a lot of big birds but I did my best to get rid of them for her. I got to watch the community yard sale. Lots of people came and bought things. I made sure that Grandma was safe and every once in a while I would check to see if mom showed up. About two weeks later we got in the car again (again I shrugged out of my harness and ran through Grandma's neighborhood) and we drove a long time and grandma stopped at our house where I live with mom. Grandma opened the door and I was scared to go in but when I got there there was mom and I ran to her and kissed her bunches and bunches. I missed her a lot. The next day mom and Grandma took me to see Dr. Smith for my yearly check-up. I now weight 18.5 pounds and I am all healthy. I got my shots and it was very exciting to be at the vets because I spent the whole day and there were other dogs and new people to see. I was so tired that I pretty much slept for two days. Then yesterday, Monday, mom went back to work. She is teaching summer-school so she is not gone as long as she usually is when she goes to work. I will blog again later about my summer. Mom says that both of us are going to go to Grandma's in a couple of weeks. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

GOTCHA!!!!

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY!!!!
For those of you who don't know what a gotcha day is. It is the day you got got. In other words, I have a birthday, February 28th, 2008, and I have a gotcha day, June 10th, 2008. Last year on June 10th is when my mom came to Lynch"s Little Puppies and picked me up and she got me. Therefore, today is my GOTCHA DAY!!!! It was pretty uneventful. Mom is still working she says she doesn't get done until the 19th this year. So I got to stay home in my kennel and watch Sesame Street. I am trying to learn my letters so I can read but so far I have learned to bark in 3 different languages. Mom came home and she had been to see my vet, Dr. Smith. Mom needed to renew my health insurance and get my heart worm and flea and tick medicine. YUCK! She also pick up two surprise toys (I had no idea she was going to do that) but then again I didn't know that today was my GOTCHA DAY!

Check out these pictures of when mom first GOT ME (GOTCHA) and then look at me NOW!!!

This is me on June 10th, 2008 at Grandma's house. BOY was I little!

Here I am a few day later at our house. I still look tiny!!!

NOW here I am June 10th, 2009 a whole year later. Look at what a BIG girl I am!

I don't have that baby harness...I have a big girl collar now.

This is me sitting on the spare bed in the computer room. It is where Grandma sleeps when she comes to visit. However, she is in California visiting Uncle Dan, Aunt JuJu, Cousins: Gizmo, Katie, Sweet Pea, and Mac. So I have been coming in the computer room and rolling on the bed and crying. Mom call Grandma and I got to talk to her on the phone and she said she would be home soon. But I miss her a lot!
