Tug At The Heartstrings

I love to tug with my rope toys. I also like to tug with: slippers, socks (while they are still being worn), stuffed animals, underwear (though it's usually taken away from me), bathroom tissue, and towels.

Trouble And Fish Guts

You may recall a while ago that I mentioned the pond at my Grandma & Grandpa's? Well there was a catastrophe of some sort where almost all the fish in the pond ended up floating belly up. Since then, my Grandpa has cleaned it out and buried all the dead fish, very well too, since he didn't want any wild animals to dig them up and make a mess. Today I went to my grandparents house, and in three very quick unsupervised minutes I managed to find a nice dead goldfish body that I proudly carried onto the lawn, much to the surprise of everyone. I was just about to ingest it when I was rudely taken from my special dining moment and brought inside. Well, since I didn't have my fish I decided that instead I would find tissue in the bathroom trash to munch on, a mysterious food item on the carpet in the dining room which I tried to pull up, and a small piece of paper that I got stuck on my lip. All in all I think I made my mom very tired.

Whale and Barnacle

Last night I got to see Mylo again, and we played silly as usual. Since he is so much bigger than me everyone says we look like a whale (since he's big and black) and barnacle (since I'm white-ish and always hanging on him somehow. He likes to sit on me but I wriggle out and attack him. We play amazingly well together for being such different sizes and stuff. I guess that's what friendship is about, huh?

Investigative Reporting

I went to Grandma & Grandpa's again and did more snooping around in the yard. Since I have such a refined sense of smell, I managed to find, in the grass, a superbly stinky spot that I proceeded to wiggle in on my back. There was some shouting about a stink bug being squashed but I just didn't want to stop. Afterward, I was given a bath.

Destructo Dog

I don't just play with my toys, I completely obliterate them. Give me 5 minutes and I'll get to the delicious squeaky center with stuffing everywhere. I love making a mess. I also like to lay down with 'frog legs' when I devour a stuffed animal.

I Have A Crush...

This is Ripley. He's a Border Terrier and he is SO CUTE. He came to my house and I swooned. I don't think I've ever played so hard in my life, two hours straight. He can totally keep up with me and he's a little bigger and a teeny bit older than I am so he puts me in my place. We also played with my rope toy where he would grab it and run and I'd chase him round and round the couch until we got dizzy. When he left I cried at the door. It was the most fun I've had in a long time and I hope we get to see each other again. Hey, I'm still not ready to settle down but I sure am enjoying all the company...

Fun With Toiletry Items

(ABOVE) Guess what I found to play with?

(BELOW) Then guess what I did when it was taken away from me and put high up on a desk? I found a way up!

More Baskets

Since we talked about laundry baskets yesterday I wanted to show you how I like to empty out my toy basket and sit in it myself. I find this much more entertaining than the toys that were in it.

Snooze Spot

One of my favorite naptime spots is in the laundry basket. I hear my name being called sometimes but I just can't bear to get out of the comfy, smelly heaven in the closet.

My Baby

It's about time I introduce you to my Baby. Some people may say "Hey! That's just a blue racquetball!" but I see it differently. I know it by name and it is by far my favorite toy in the whole world. If nobody is around to throw it for me I bounce it myself, even launch it down the stairs to chase after it on my own. I do love my Baby so much.

Tub Time!

I love those words. I hear "tub time" and I get so excited. But I don't like jumping in until the faucet is done running, and I only like a little bit of water in the tub. You can see my anticipation above, and below is what I like to do when I'm in the tub- dig at the drain. I still haven't managed to move it, but it gets me every time.

HIC!

This morning I woke up with hiccups. Have you ever seen a dog with hiccups? Apparently, it's very funny.

Old Man Sitting

Sometimes, sitting can be so hard. That's why I like to "lazy sit" kinda like a grandpa. I tuck my back legs all the way up front and hunch over. I will never be Ms. Etiquette, I know, but good posture is so over-rated.

R.I.P., Devil Duck

**Warning: the following images may not be suitable for young children

Today marks the end of the head of my favorite bath toy, Devil Duck. He was dismantled quickly and thus suffered little. A moment of silence, please.

Another Date

Last night I met Oliver, a Yorkie, who is exactly my same size. He came over to play and boy did we ever! Here are some action shots of us. Oliver is a lot of fun, he likes to play hard like I do and we make a lot of noise! We had an audience of a bunch of ladies that were pretty entertained by our antics. All the toys were taken away because they caused us little spats. It's ok though, we had enough fun on our own. Look, I'm going to sneak attack him-

Thank You For Not Smoking

From time to time I get a cigarette. No not THAT kind of cigarette, this one is made of rawhide and just looks like one. Anyhow it's one of my favorites treats and here I am holding it with my paws.

Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits...

This is me before getting groomed yesterday, looking sad and homeless.

Look at me now! All svelte and smooth and soft! I feel sassy!

Whip It Up

This amazing sweet & creamy stuff comes from a bottle in the refrigerator, and if I see it or hear it being used I come running from any point of the house and sit pretty until I get some!

What's In A Name?

People often ask me where my name comes from. If you're over 21 you may be familiar with Remy Martin. My name was originally "Ruby" and though I might have been called "Whiskey" or "Martini", Remy was close to Ruby and easy for me to learn. Actually I am called many things and "RemyBun" is one of them. Also "Remmel", "Babe" and most frequently, "Monster". I also answer to "No!" but I don't like to.

Sunshine On My Shoulder

There is nothing better in life than finding a cozy, soft spot in the sun.

Happy Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July everyone! I'm writing to you all from my VERY OWN POOL. Probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. In the patio of my house is now a plastic kiddie pool that I can hop into and play around whenever I want! (OK, whenever I'm allowed to). Problem is, I don't want to leave. I have Devil Duck (my bath toy) in with me and I played around, digging and splashing like crazy. Sorry I haven't written in a while, I got to spend a few days and nights at day care where I played with everyone until I was picked up to go home again. Gotta run, I need to towel off now.
