Still not up to snuff

I am still a bit under the weather.  The Mrs. made a call to the vet this afternoon.  It sounds like I am going to be watched while doing my business outside!  What indignity!  Oh well, hopefully I feel better soon and I won't have to be embarrassed for too long.

I was sick yesterday

Poor me.  I had a rough day yesterday.  I tossed my cookies twice!  And no one was there to see it...until afterwards.  Usually they let me out in time.  But not yesterday.  I spent the rest of the day recovering.  I'm feeling good today except for a sneeze or two.

 Here I am enjoying a snooze.  Don't get me wrong, I am not usually cold.  The kids put the blanket on me just to be funny, but I must admit I really like it.

Back into the Swing of things

I have now been home over 24 hours and I am starting to feel more like myself.  My bed felt great last night, I found myself dozing all day with no desire to move around and announce my presence.  Today on the other hand I checked out the front window, barked out the back door and generally let everyone know I was back in town.  I am not 100% back in full form, but by tomorrow I should be great.

Home from Vacation

I had a great time at the dog hotel this past week.  My owners tiptoe around it and whisper "kennel," but I know better.  The place I go to is a spa!  I am exhausted.  All the socializing, playing, grooming, I am worn out!  Well, now I am taking it easy.  Everyone at home seems more relaxed somehow, so I am just going to join right in with the easy going lifestyle.

Had a small problem the other day...

It all happened pretty fast, but I will write what I remember.  Someone came to the door, I of course, alerted the family.  Little Madeline answered the door to find the even littler neighbor boy from across the street.  He was looking for Ben.  While the two talked, a woman walked by with her dog.  It was too much for me to take and as I leaned out the door the little boy moved over and gave me just enough space to dash out and investigate.  And that is what I did!  I ran out there to meet the new friend!  Such excitement!  What new smells!  I went directly to my new buddy to sniff him out and just as quickly he turned and snapped me on my snout and my ear!  I was stunned!  What did he do?  Madeline called me in, thank goodness, I didn't know what to do next AND it hurt!  I went right in.  Madeline apologized for my behavior and went to tell Margaret.  As if I was wrong.  Man, my chin was bleeding and there was pain on the top of my head, though no one could confirm my injury there.  What a night.  I am better now, but I am still emotionally stunned!  I think I need to get out more.  I had no idea that what I did could possibly be wrong!  Live and learn.

It is Hot!

Ruff!  I can't believe how warm it is!  Oh, how I want to be outside, all those springtime sounds and smells.  But whenever I go out, it is just too hot and I want to go back in.  Grrrrr.  It is very frustrating.  If you have seen my photo you can see that I am very furry.  I am shedding like crazy but not fast enough for this weather.  Oh, for a cool spell.  And if only that dog over the fence would stop barking.  He winds me up, I want to go out again, and then in...and then out....

Oh springtime!
