Update on my Knee

Sorry I has not been around much, Momma has a terrible case of the workies and still probably won't be able to help me blog much  in March.  The workies are the worst.

Today I went to the vet for my booster shots and a checkup.  I has good news!  Mr. Vet is very happy with my progress and wants me to keep doing what I am doing.  So lots of walkies, some running, and some zoomies.

But, Momma says I have to tell you I was naughty.  After Mr. Vet checked my heart and everything I barked and lunged at him (I didn't actually bite him).  Mr. Vet wasn't too concerned he says I was really stressed and he thinks I'm a little protective at times, plus the room is very small.  Not all doggies are friendly wif strangers and I sometimes don't like men.  Momma wants me to tell you all I was naughty because she wants you to know that just like other doggies I sometimes have "issues" cause I get scared. Momma and Dad just usually don't let people pet me if I appear stressy and things are fine. But, you should always ask before you pet a dog you don't know. He went ahead and gave me my shots and then he took me away from Momma and Dad and walked me out back to test my knee movement.

Mr. Vet says my muscle tone is over 10% better than last month and that my gait is fine. When he brought me back Mr. Vet said that I apologized and was wagging my tail wif him out back.  So we parted on good terms and next time I will try to be better.

Dad's Pizza Pillow

So Dad gots this Pizza pillow for Christmas and he puts it on my Futon. 

Well one day the hoomans came home from work and the pillow was in the bed room.  Someone must have moved it.

 Also, the do not remove by penalty of law tag was removed.  Who would do such a thing?  

Momma asked me who did it.

Does this face look guilty to you?

 But, dis one does!!!!

It be Vader I swears....

Stuffy Explosion

 I has no idea where that piece of stuffing came from, I swear..

 It just exploded I swear...

 And then more came out!

 And more!

Can you imagine how much more would have come out if Momma didn't take me toy away and put in the trash?  I mean it was just exploding all over the place.  I has no clue why.

Post Christmas & Snow, Snow, Snow

I hopes everybody had a wonderful Christmas! I'm still resting up from the festivities but wanted to update you all on my Christmas Holiday and the Snow tortures we are currently experiencing.

First of all I gots a brand new food stand for Christmas! Daddy O made it for me cause my other one was a little too short and we couldn't find one any taller. This one matched better and catches some of my kibble crumbs. Oh and if you want to knows how tall it is, it is 22 1/2 inches.
Also, I gots a new bed that Momma made for me. It has 6 old pillows in it and they come out easy so the cover can be washed.

This wasn't my gift it was Momma's - It's suppose to be ME hugging VADER? I don't thinks so.

Santa also brought me some new toys and treats - I luvs opening the presents.

The bestest part about Christmas was I gots to go to Grammy & Grampy's and spend time wif Diesel and Bambi! Diesel helped me open my gift.

Bambi didn't need help wif his.

Now about all that snow. We are getting lots. The hoomans can't keep up wif the shoveling.

I don't know about this....... shouldn't snow stay outside.... maybe you should shovel the deck?

So I had to take matters into my own paws......

I gots a whole year to gets back on Santa's nice list.... BOL!

My Holiday

Hello All! I'm back from my big weekend vacation. This is the longest one I've ever had with a whole three nights away. My Cousins Diesel and Bambi were there too! Let's see where do I begin?

On Friday afternoon we arrived at Eastport - the Eastern most city in the USA. I arrived just in time to enter a Pet Show where I took home 1st place for best in show! Can you believe it? I'm a show off Dog! Here I am accepting my blue ribbon and my big $10 prize.

On Saturday we went for Walkies ---
Ummm... I thinks these people have a spelling problem..... what the heck is a scall, urchin has a h ok, and I don't know anyone that wants an imp....
Diesel thinks he is somethin' special gettin' to climb the steps......
We had Strawberry shortcake in the park.
Do I have somethin' on my nose?
The big Navy ship was in to celebrate the holiday.
On Saturday night Momma said that I was ridiculous - whatever that means. I guess Diesel and I were naughty on our second trip down town for the day. We had taken a 5 hour nap and had lotsa energy. We were pullin on our leashes and actin' all crazy. Momma thinks we were feeding off everyone elses excitement since it was getting dark. We had these really cool glow stick collars on and unfortunately this is the only picture Momma got. Maybe that's were the energies were commin' from,

I always get the best seat in the house, even if I have to share with Bambi.

On Independence Day after getting some rest Diesel and I met new friends - like this big guy!

And MANGO was there...... he isn't nearly as big as everyone thinks, his Momma just photoshops him big.
I really enjoyed the parade this year........ Yup that's how exciting it was.

And on Sunday night Momma and Dad stayed at the house with us puppies while the others went to the Fireworks. Momma knew I would be scared so she sat down and fed us cheese to distract us all from the big booms and flashes.

So that was my holiday, I hope everyone was safe and enjoyed their extra time with their hoomans. I'm Sooo tired.... I need a vacation from my vacation!

Naughty Ellie

Thank you all for you comments on my supervising tent and my Wordless Wednesday ice cream. My tent has gone to screen house heaven as a gust of wind took it out and poked all the poles holding it up through the screen. Don't worry nobody was inside and my Kuranda bed survived the attack.

Also, my Wordless Wednesday post was an ice cream ordered from a different ice cream stand. See my local ice cream stand makes my ice cream as soon as they see me and they make it big with 3 small milkbones. The ice cream I gots at this new place was good but was small and had a yucky old roy bone on it. Cheapos, they couldn't even afford the milkbone. I was patiently waiting to eat it.

I wanted to show you all a picture to prove that kitty sister Ellie is naughty. She was a stray that discovered Momma and Dad 3 years ago. Now, the vet guesses she is 5 years old now and boy does she have some street smarts. I would like you to know that Momma does feed her, but she still feels the need to prove that she could survive on her own in the wild. See her failed attempt:

And she tried to blame it on me! Like, my nails would shred anything that small. Naughty Ellie.
Oh NO, we can't have a post withouts a picture of me:

Yucky Ear Ouchie

Momma took me to the vet on Saturday cause I was shaking my head. Well duh, she kept asking me if my ear was alright and I was answering her no. I can't um, reach my ear to scratch it so Momma has too. So, anyway she's been cleaning it all week and it didn't get better - so off to the vet.

Turns out I have an ear infection ouchie - common in big floppy eared dogs that run through a lot of dirt.

Here I am being good waiting for the VET to come in the room to look at me, I'm being good.


Then, I was bad, very bad. I waited for like FOREVER (5 whole minutes) in that tiny room and then when the doctor came in I barked at him when he touched my ear. I barked and barked and barked. Momma was trying to get me to stop but my ear hurt and I didn't want her touching it let alone the doctor - You all know that they can't be trusted, specially when taking temperatures.

Anyway Momma told the vet we could put a muzzle on me. WHAT? Who authorized something so horrendous? The vet came back with this muzzle thing and Momma put it on me. Of course I was really good about it putting it on cause I didn't know what it was, but now I know better. So Mr. Vet looked in my ears and cleaned them a little. Then he point ointment in them.

So Momma has to wash my ears with a special wash once a day and point ointments in 2 times a day for a whole week! It sucks, it really does.

Wordless Wednesday - oops

From the Puppy Vault

Warning cuteness ahead. Here is a video of me and my puppy zoomies.... plus stealing a snack of kitty food.

Back to old Habits

Momma came home to this last Friday, she was not impressed. I decided to destroy my comforter while she was at work. I didn't bother it for two weeks but I like to keep her on her toes. I'm back to just fleece blankets on my Kuranda bed now. I only get a comforter at night again. Sigh.

Why I can't be Free

This is what happens when I have the supervised zoomies. Can you imagine what I'd do if I wasn't supervised? Momma says if I keep this up I'll be in my crate forever.
My bad.....
