Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

My mom keeps saying that to people over the phone. I don't know what it means but my mom stayed up late last night and I was kind of glad because I could sit in her lap while all the noise was going on outside. I was shaking. She kept telling me it would be okay but there was so much noise! And it smelled funny outside, too.

Why do humans do such strange stuff?

I Love Christmas!!!

I love Christmas! Now I know what it's all about. I got presents!!!

Mom finally let me have the treats Addie sent.












And I got some presents from Mom, too. First I had to get them out of the bag she put them in.

I got toys.

And I got a bone (even if mom did take it away before I was done with it....)!

I really love Christmas!

New Toy

My mom made me a new toy out of something called fleece. See? Every time I untie the knot, she just ties the two pieces back together again.

I really like to chew it while I'm sitting on her lap when she's at the computer. She says I'm kind of big to be a lap dog but I don't think so! Do you?

Rope Ball Toy pt. 2

Well, I got an end loose on my rope ball.

But now my mom says she's going to cut off the loose ends so it's just going to be a ball again and I don't think that's fair!

New Rope Toy

My mom took away the old rope toy. And the tennis ball I chewed up. And the plastic donut I chewed a hole in. But she got me a new squeaky ball and she got me this new rope toy.

I haven't quite figured out how to unknot it yet, but I'm working on it!

Tree

We have this new thing in the house. My mom put it up this weekend. It kind of looks like a tree but it sure doesn't smell like one!

I thought maybe it was for me to eat so I tried chewing on the branches and some of the stuff mom hung on it. Mom laughed but she told me “no!” really, really loud. So I guess I'm not supposed to chew on it after all. But then what the heck is it for?

My Rope Toy

Dennis the Vizsla asked about a picture in my last post. Yes, this used to be a green and white rope toy. My mom said it was supposed to be for dogs 85 pounds up to 120 pounds but it only took me 3 weeks to do THIS.

First I undid the knot at one end. My mom retied it. (She said some of those bad words again!) So I undid the other end. My mom says she can't figure out how it can end up so long when it started out much shorter.
