All These Packages!

Lots of Christmas boxes are showing up at the door. I like to wait until the UPS or Fed Ex truck pulls up and give them a piece of my mind. Today I decided to get a better view...

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like...

...a small terrier on a Christmas stocking... This is my new favorite place to sit. I drag it with me around the house to cushion my behind. It's better than sitting on the bare floor, don't you think?

Baby Cleeeeeoooooooo

Ripley and Baby Cleo came for a visit yesterday. As usual we had about 20 minutes of spazzing out before we crashed for a nap. You know how much I love to snuggle with my pals, and Baby Cleo was my nap buddy this time. She's gotten so big but we still call her the baby. Actually since she's on the small side for a Border Terrier, we also call her "Midge," which has morphed into "Midgetopolis," "Smidge," and "Smidgey." She'll always be my Baby Cleo though!

I Know You Missed Me

I'm baaaaack! Between a little bit of travel and a downed hard drive, there's been a hiatus with my postings. But I'm happy to be back with lots of new stories and things going on. After all, it's getting cooler here which means I'm ready to CUDDLE!

Happy Hallo-Cupcake!

Halloween is mom's birthday. So for birthdays, you need to make cupcakes. For cupcakes, you need to have frosting. For frosting you need powdered sugar, like this in the bowl.


For best results, you should also WEAR the powdered sugar on your back.
Happy Halloween everyone!

Grandma's House

I'm starting to go to my Grandma's house on Mondays, and when I'm there, I even steal her chair from her. I'd move if she asked me but she likes to let me sleep wherever I'm the most comfortable. Sometimes I find leftover crumbs and treats on the floor too while I'm there. Mom keeps her fingers crossed that it's not Grandma's fallen pills or medicine on the floor, but so far so good.

Passed Out

How many doggies can you see in this picture? You can also catch a glimpse of my underbite. Ripley always lets me cuddle with him. Baby Cleo isn't as fond of being next to us, she's a solo sleeper.

Make Your Own Bed

Izzy's over today and took the pink bed. There was a delivery for mom so I pulled out the tissue from the box and made up my own place to lay in. Don't laugh, it's more comfortable than it looks... kinda.

Brickyard Doggie

Anytime there's a home improvement project going on, I have to help. In this case, I'm keeping the bricks from moving. It helps that they are warm and feel really good to lay on.

Goofball

I like to rub my face on the rug after I eat or when I'm feeling like a crazy dog. It's called "napkin" and I get all wiggly and silly when I do it. Nobody is ever supposed to see it but now that I have a camera following me around I can't get away with ANYTHING anymore.

O Henry!

My boy Henry comes over a lot and I try really hard to keep it together.


But then all my love and excitement just squishes out and I have to lick his face.

Nappin'

I spent some time this weekend with Ripley and Baby Cleo. Today they're at my house and we took a nap on the couch. Baby Cleo was apparently dreaming about mountain climbing.

Checking Email

Hey there, just looking at the computer to see if Buddy or Henry has sent me any messages. And no, that half-drunken margarita glass isn't mine, I'm only four you know.

Been Busy

Sorry I haven't written in a while. I was stuck in the tub. It wasn't pretty.

Same

RUBY!!!!

There's a new member of the pack! This is Ruby... isn't she precious! I haven't met her yet but mom's told me all about her. She's from the Boxer Rescue and she's the most lovable, playful kid ever! Mom says she gave her a million licks and kisses and she liked the lobster toy I sent over. She's from a tough background like me, and needs to put on a few pounds to make up from the malnutrition and shelter stay she had. I am so proud of my Auntie B and Uncle A for rescuing her, because I think we can be great friends. It will be a while until I meet her, but I can't wait! Any dog that likes to tug is a dog after my own heart!

Backyard Sleuthing

Izzy's been coming over about once a week. We hang out and do stuff together. When we're not napping, we like to go play outside. This week, we did a little investigating in my backyard.



First Izzy spotted something on the ground. I, of course, had to also go check it out to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything.



Because I have such superior detection skills, I kept a vigil on whatever was the initial cause of interest.



Izzy, however, decided that eating grass was a better option.



Eventually all this excitement wore us out and we had to take a break.



Nothing like laying in the summer sun with one of your best buddies. Izzy is one of my favorite dogs in the world. In fact, she's named after...ahhmm...well, we'll save that for another time....

DAAAAAAAYYYYYYCAAAAARRRRE!!!!!

One of my favorite places in the world! When I hear that word in the morning I go nuts and run straight into the car to go. Daycare has some of my favorite people, including Izzy and her mom (my Auntie Tracy who also cuts my hair). Auntie Pam and Janice and Maribel are there too. Sometimes I get to see Buddy, and sometimes I get put into a cage for a time out when I'm misbehaving. Yeah, I know... who, me??

My Summer Vacation, Part Three

So my trip up the coast took me on lots of walks and new paths. There were plenty of ground squirrels and ticks for me to try and play with and chase after. Whee!!



This was a giant pile of smelly goodness! Of course I had to investigate (and mark my territory a little too)...


I found a new creature to play with, a sand crab! That is, until I put it in my mouth...




The ocean was pretty loud and full of waves, which I don't like very much. But the smells are delicious and new. I had to sit for a moment to take it all in...



This whole new world I'm looking at left me feeling a little small. So I decided I would leave my own little mark in the world:

Wonder if it's still there?

My Summer Vacation, Part Two

After about 3 hours or so, I got a new house!! The air smelled different outside too. I ran around all over investigating my new digs, but finally settled on this chair. Actually when I was being ignored, I'd turn my back on the room, too:


Of course I had to search every nook & cranny to make sure nobody left any treats behind for me:


And yes, there were sunny patches here too:
So altogether, not too much different than my house. Except when we went outside... more soon!

My Summer Vacation, Part One

Last week I was loaded into the car in my bed and we started to go! But it was a lot longer than going to Day Care, or Auntie Sandi's house... in fact, we went for so long that I got bored. And cold. So I found a way to comfort myself:


After a long time, we took a potty break (and Target break, because mom forgot to pack her shoes). Because I was so good and patient, I got to taste a little treat!:

Next I'll share with you where I actually ended up! Trust me, it was fun!!!

Stop the Press!!

Who is this handsome guy that came through my door today??!!! It's not even the same dog! Ripley got his summer 'do, which I'm getting on Thursday. Wolf whistles!!!

Neighborly Visit

Henry stopped by for a playdate the other night. We decided to tug on the octopus together.


I totally let him win this round. It has nothing at all to do with the fact that he outweighs me by about 52lbs.


As usual, my cuteness was too much for him and he needed a nap. But I'm onto him. I think he really likes me now.

Happy 5th Of July!

As you can see, I partook in the nationwide celebration like everyone else by eating a hot dog cookie.


Actually I got to celebrate at Ripley and Baby Cleo's house but at night I didn't care much for the fireworks. If you look closely above you can see why everyone calls me "rubber tire lips".

Sneaking Up on Remy, Part 1

If you're going to catch me in a stupid pose, the least I can do is stick my tongue out at you. So what if I just want to lay on the tiniest pillow on the couch next to the softest blankie. Let me be.

Summer's Here!

I'd just like to take a moment to lay here and talk to you about how much I love sunshine. Always remember sunscreen! And also that I really like nibbles from your ice cream cones.

Izzy Time

Lately Izzy (the dog) has been coming over to play. Everyone says I let her get away with murder. Yeah so she licks my face for 20 minutes all up in my eyes and nose and mouth and I don't care, so what? And she pounces on me and I let her pin me down. I'm still a tough terrier, man. You have to remember that Izzy's like my little sister. I'm not going soft or anything. Geez.

Back To Normal

Mom's home and finally getting over the plague she had, all my friends have been over to visit, and there's a little sunshine for me to sunbathe in. Life is good!

You Spin Me Right Round, Baby, Right Round

Spinning lots of records with my Dad while we have the house to ourselves. Not sure I get this whole "vinyl" thing, but you know, I like a good groove. Sadly my Dad doesn't have my favorite, "Who Let The Dogs Out".
