and Such...

okay so i know everyone says this is a busy season, but i had no idea what to expect. the parents have had me here & there & everywhere. i get up early, go to work all day long with my daddy, drive out to pick up mommy, then go home for dinner....so, when i get home in the evenings - sometimes i just like to sit around.

i had gotten a little tired of my big crate so i asked dad to move it to the guestroom while i situated my doggie bed in its rightful spot. but now that my bed is out in the open, i like to sit in it & ponder life, what the week(end) has in store, the best way in which one could successfully attack the heron, or exactly where that piece of cold stuff the parents call "ice" went when i was kicking it around in the kitchen. i'm also trying to learn how to skate board like Meaty on MTV's Rob & Big show..daddy told mommy all about my first try...long story, but basically we saw this lil' dude with a skateboard & i tried & tried until i got up on it, skating a lil' ways before ending that adventure. i can't wait to try again.

i haven't had much time to myself lately though - any time i even sit for like 5 seconds, mommy has to come over to me with that pink metal thing that makes weird noises & flashes this light something awful! i get so sick of seeing that thing or hearing that irritating beep. this is me, disgusted with that metal thing...

i've gotten to where i just start making faces at her instead of sitting & looking like the studly little pup i am. anyways, here are a few of my crazy faces - i'm learning that they work really well, so if any of you would like to take them, i won't freak out on you or anything. i've found that the "scruntched eye" and the "tongue" look are the most effective. The key is to do something really cute...

so that on the second or so pic...BAM...weird face!!!

size update time...mommy tricked me into getting on the scale last night..just for kicks. she says i'm somewhere between 27 & 30 lbs..now that could be different from the scale at Dr. Segl's but the parents both think i've gained some weight, if anything b/c my legs are getting longer & i'm overall just looking like a big, goofy puppy dog. now that my legs are so long, i'm getting pretty good about getting on the couch by myself.

i'm not supposed to get up there without an invitation, but sometimes i use my charm, conning them into letting me up...mommy caught me standing up instead of laying down..i tried to explain that i was just worried about dad leaving, but mommy said i knew better & that dad was just going to get dinner..so i calmed down, played with the heron & kept mommy safe until he got back. the pic below is of when mommy caught me with that metal thing....i told you i hated it...

tonight, mommy came home from a hard day at work & i thought i'd be nice so i decided to sit down, help her organize her thoughts & sign a few cards on their behalf...i mean the cards were from me too so it was the least i could do. first of all, i had mommy lay everything out in a particular fashion so it was really easy for me to handle, almost like one of those conveyor belt production lines.

then, i lay down to sort my thoughts to come up with the best wording possible. of course, i also signed a few & closed them up for mommy to put in the envelopes.

anyway, i think that's all for now. i'm very tired this evening with all the projects i have going on...i'll most likely update after the weekend or just before/after christmas day. i know i'm going to have some new things to share after santa paws comes to see me..hope you liked my lil card...puppy slobberz...
