I'VE BEEN A BAD DOG!

Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed. My mom was making some little ground round steak burgers to cook and put mushroom gravy on them. She had them all on a platter, two whole pounds of them. Well, when she walked into the kitchen I got my feet on table and ate almost all of them raw. Mom saw what I was doing and boy did I catch it! I spent the rest of the time Mom was cooking in my crate. Oh well, I had a nice nap with a full belly. Guess I better not try that again soon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I sure like Christmas with lots of pretty paper and things I can get into. Mom and Dad got me a big floppy dog which I have a big time chewing on and throwing around. John, Robin, Sarah and Jonathon brought me a floppy Reindeer with sixteen squeekies, yes, I said sixteen squeekies. I have a big time trying to decide which one to squeek. I wish it was Christmas every day!

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!!

What a surprise I got when going out to do my business yesterday. Something happened to the grass - it was all white and very cold on my feet. I looked up and something was hitting me in the face and it was wet and cold too. Dad said it is snow - of course, I had to taste it right away and it was sort of like ice cream, but not as good. I got my new coat just in time. I took my muzzle and pushed the snow into a little snowball, and then I ate it! Hmmmm - not too bad so I ate some more. I will have lots of fun when it gets deep. Dad can throw snowballs for me to chase. Life is sure interesting to a puppy!

I AM KEEPING WARM - ARE YOU!

How do you guys like my new fur lined coat. It sure did feel good on our walk today. It is 28 degrees and very windy. Mom said I was as warm as a piece of toast (one my favorites to eat) when she took my coat off. It keeps me dry in the rain and snow too. We had a few flakes this morning but it melted right away. I can't wait to play in it.

WOW! WHAT WAS THAT FLASH!

One day I saw my Mom messing around with something shiny in her hands. So, being my usual inquisitive self, I strolled over to see what she was up to. Well, all of a sudden I saw stars flashing. My Mom had taken my picture. I guess it doesn't pay to get too close when you are being nosy. Mom thought it was a good picture. I don't do those things anymore now that I am older. Dad says, yeah, right, Ha HA! Well, I will amend that to say I try not to do those things.
