I lub da PB kong.  I gos straight to da crate (or da Old Man's crate) cauz I knows dats where I gets mah kong. 

Dis me sittin like a ribbet-ribbets.  FM foughts it was pretty cutes.

Todays, after our 2 mile jog (which didn't ebeen wear me outs a widdle), FM tooks us to da washy-washer and wet us!  She is a mean mommy sometimes!  I hates dis spray waters!  FM says I'z sweaty and needs a wince down and it makes me coolah fastah.  I still donts likes it nones!

But, I endured it.  Its payed off!  FM gibs us a mussage wifs a towel outside den we came inside and watched FM wiggle in da floor (she says dis was her workin' out, but I sayz she needs to practice her zoomies...).  After she was done wifs her wiggles, she surprised de Old Man and mes and gibs us de noms!!!  I LUB DE NOMS!!!!!!!

Foreber family, I'z really excited to be comin' homes.  You shoulds know dat I sneaks up on da furniture when deres no one wookin.  I'z also likes to sleep on da beds wifs you.  I sneaked up dere one night wifs da FM.  She didn't ebeen notices...  till de next mornings when I woke her up wif mah sniffen her brefs.  Dey was smellys like Phil's!  She mades me get downs den.

I'z a good boy when it comes to da feedin times.  I will go to mah crate or lay in da floors and stay (while being telled to stays) until I am released wifs an "Ok, boys" from da FM.  I likes to jump and play and runs wifs ober doggies.  I also like to wake up da neighbor hoods wif mah barks when I'z playin.  I will also play wifs humans.  I fink dat arms and fingars make de bestest chew toys and I'z not too roughs until I gets too 'cited.  Den, I needs to stop.

I'z extremely nosey and curious.  I wants to find all squirrels and bunnies and bugs and grasshoppys and be dere friends... wifs mah moufs.  I likes to know when your in da bafrooms.  I'z keep you company so yous won't gets lonely.

For da lasts times!

The Whipper-Snapper vs The Gentleman

You can best tell the difference between a Gentleman and a young Whipper-Snapper via playtime.

Let me give you examples of each:

Whipper-Snapper playtime:

Gentleman playtime:

Mom, I'm keeping my bunny safe from that crazy dog.

Please also note that the significant difference between these 2 things is that one requires Mom to use her flashy thing for what she calls "video" instead of blinding Joey for a second like she usually does with me.  Mom says that he's very hard to clicky-flashy-blind because he's always moving!!

I'm tolerating him well.  I keep giving Mom "the look" but I don't think she's getting it.

So far Joey has gotten 2 extra snacks that I didn't get!  I was a little upset, but Mom says Joey is soo skinny that he's got to get bigger like me.  At least for our "after school snack" Mom gave me some carrots while Joey ate his snack.

Mom says that tonight Moe is also coming to stay with us for the weekend.  Guys, thats TWO extra dogs I have to share with?!?!?!  Mom says that Mizz Erin is Moe's Mom and she says he's a lot like me.  He'd much rather be napping than bouncing prancing around with toys.  He's also a big Greyhound like me.  So much excitement in my house!

Lets just see how much Mom likes it when she's taking us out for a walk and we all are squirrel huntin' at the same time!

Going to the dog park..

Dear Dog Park Mommies and Daddies,

For the sake of my Mom's sanity (and potentially your doggie's well-being)..  if your dog isn't well-behaved, please keep it away from her.  She had to come home this afternoon and take a shower and change clothes because one of the neighborhood dogs who was also in the dog park with us.  She kept jumping on Mommy.  Mom had dirty paw prints all over her, and while that was a sign of love from the other doggy, Mom didn't appreciate it one bit!  From my experience, Mom prefers gentle kisses.. even if you have bad breath.  I tried to tell the other doggy that, but she wasn't listening to me.

Mom was NOT very happy.  Mom said to me (I think she was talkin to me, since no one else was around) on the walk home, "If I have to control your dog because you can't, you don't need to have a dog."
So please other Dog Park Mommies and Daddies, know how to control your dog before you go into the park with others.  It's one thing to try to play with the other doggies, but to jump on the humans?  NOT COOL!  Especially MY human!

PS.  Down doesn't mean NO.  My Mommy tells me NO often.  She's not afraid to yell it either.  I know when she yells NO, she means serious business.  I stop what I'm doing immediately and look at her.  Sometimes, when she just says no normal, I don't hear her until she repeats what she wants me to do a few times.  It's a game I like to play with her to see how many times she'll repeat a command.  So far, I'm up to... well I can't really count, but its a LOT!

It usually goes like this:  Phil, go to your house.  (I look at her like what did you say?)  No, Phil, go to your house.  (I start towards my house, but I get about halfway there then back up to the rug).  Phil, NO, go to your house!  (I put my front paws on the slippy floor).  Go to your house Phil, you can do it.  (Finally, I slowly make it to my house.  I have to put on a good show for Mom so she knows how much the floors "scare" me).  Good boy, Phil!  Ok, now stay.

I'm really good at stay because usually if I stay in my house and out of Mom's way while she's fixing me dinner, she makes it quicker AND doesn't spill it.

She's a pretty good Mom, so please Please PLEASEEEEEEE... have good doggy manners around her.  She's spoiled by my good manners... So its really my fault.  But she can't help how much she loves me.. Have you looked at me?  You can't help but to love me too.  Promise.

This is what being good looks like.  It's not a bad idea to practice this.
