Sneaking on the computer!

Hi fans!  I'm sorry it's been such a long time since I've updated.  My Foster Brothers have hogged the computer updating their blogs trying to get adopted.. and I know how important finding your forever family is, so I've let it slide.

Let's see.. what's been happening??

I really wanted to clean out this kong and I forgot to let Mom take off my muzzle!
I was pretty excited.

If your parents don't give you pillows, they aren't good parents.

I shared my bed with my foster brother, Donner.
Mom documented this because I don't usually share.

...But I'm learning that sharing isn't an option.
I'm getting good at it!

We went to a meet and greet in February.
I let Donner borrow my bow-tie so people could see how handsome he was.

Mr. Bruce was teasing me and Donner with squeaky toys..
but he bought them for us, which is why we like Mr. Bruce.

On the way home, I was very tired.
Aunt Courkie thought that it was very funny that my nose was caught on my muzzle
which was causing me to make my "grr" face.

Me and Donner had a dog park date with Gracie and Buddy!
We were all chasing the little dog who kept getting the ball!

New toys!

Mom has been pretty awesome lately, FYI. 

1)  We have an extra puppy in our home right now.  His name is Donner.  He's not staying with us for permanent, but just until he gets adopted. 

2)  We've been going on walks again.  I was on an exercise diet for 1.5 months, but Mom figured some light walking wasn't going to kill me.  Yes, I'm still limping sometimes, but it comes and goes.  Mom is still curious as to why I'm limping and we were supposed to get a referral from our vet to go see a specialist, but because of #3, we haven't been able to yet.

3)  We moved to a place with CARPET andddd SO MUCH SPACE!!!!  I don't have to back up everywhere anymore.  I can actually turn around!  I'm still afraid of the slippery floors in the dining room, but its so much better than before cause she got me some special rugs!!

4)  Mom made a new toy investment!  I had killed most of my squeakers in my squeaky toys, because they are my favorite.  I saw how many she bought last night, but she only gave us ONE last night!  (In her defense, she did also buy 2 new toys a few nights prior, and I snuck in the bags and pulled the toys out before she was even done unloading the bags!  She had to take them from me to cut the tags off..)

5)  She gives me lubbins whenever I ask her to and she is patient with me over the slippery floors and she turns Donner out of the way when I can't get past him to get to my food bowl and she gives me treats and she takes me to meet and greets and she endures my bad breaths and she says she loves me more than any other doggy that comes to my house, forever.


How about some videos?

Characters:
So there's me, Phil, the big, white, Greyhound.
There's Donner, the big, brindle, Greyhound (who is looking for his forever home).
There's Noodles, the "husky", long, Dachshund. (Aunt Courkie's dog)
And there's Judge, the teeny, tiny, smallest dog in the house, mini-Dachshund.  (Aunt Courkie's dog)



Here's a video of mostly just me with my new chicken.  We had to hide it after this video because Noodles is a little vicious with toys and Mom didn't want this one to have such a quick life.

So foster Mom has been hogging da computer all weeks!  Somefing about Aus-trail-ya.  So much funs happened dis past week.  I shows you.  Did I tells you I lubs de dog park?  Cause I lubs de dog park.

Foster Mom said she'd ben wading on Sunshine to come to da dog parks so we could play.  Sunshine haz a lots of energy.. like mes.  When Sunshine came in da dog park, Old Man Phil, me, and Sunshine waz all runnin around.  Let me repeats.  Old Man Phil was RUNNIN.  Guys..  He's really fast.  I'z just a puppy and he was beatin me.  Dey say he is a grehound dough, dey is supposed to be super fastest... Old Man Phil was a racin dog, but as much as he sleeps, I'z not surprised he haz all da energies stored up.  Everbodys was surprised with Phil was runnin wif us, cause he neber does dat.




Dis is da room where Foster Mom set up mah crate.  Old Man Phil lubs mah crate.  Well, he can haz it, I just sleepz on da couch.


I'z not movin'.  Dis is too comfys.

Foster Mom came home for lunch and I was patiently waiting on her to shares her lunch noms.

Dis is Old Man Phil's raised feeder.  He really iz bigger dan me.

De weekend before dis one, Foster Mom had Phil and me and dis other dog named Moe.  He was really big.  He only stayed wif us for da weekend dough.  He was very lazy, like da Old-Man-Phil.  All dese sleepin dogs.  Dey don't know how much fun bouncin' is!  

Old Man Moe

Moe was in my playin way!

All free of da boys.

Foster Mom fought dat leabin me out for a short period of time could be ok...
..I pooped in da floor.  She was just glads de runny poops weren't on de carpets.

Dis is me bein silly with da fake bone.  Dere's so many fun toys here!

Den on Saturday, Foster Mom left me at her house alone!  Her and Old Man Phil went to somefing called a Meet & Greet.  Iz about Greyhounds, so I didn't pay much 'tentions.  She made me put dese fotos on here...

Dis is Old Man Phil riding with da back seat layed down.
He telled me he liked dis much better dan his hammock.

Dis is Dexter at da M&G.

Dis is Old Man Phil.

Dis is Dexter again!

Dis is Lulu.  She wasn't really dat happy.  She was just panting, a lots.
So I'm told.  She looks really happys.

Dis is AJ.  

It wasn't all bad bein left at home alones.  When Foster Mom came back, she had a bag full of da goodies (she brought Old Man Phil back wifs her too)!  Some toys for me.. FINE. and Old Man Phil.  Some treats dat are delicious.  Dis stick da frows da ball, which I fink is also good for da chewin on (aldough Foster Mom wasn't too happy with my chewin art on de brand new frowy fingy).  And da Old Man got a new black leash to match his collar set.

Despite how grouchy da Old Man is, he definitely has Foster Mom trained!!

Ok one more videos den I'm going to go play wif da new crunchy toy.  Iz so fun!
