I'm having trouble getting internet time!

It seems whenever I want to post to my blog, someone's on the computer! Grrrrrrr! Now I finally get a chance to bark to the rest of the world.

Everything is new to me. There's soooo much to sniff and chase I feel like I'm in another world down here in Florida. It's also getting rather exciting for someone my size. Just last week something big and black flew down and tried to get me. Dave was talking to Pat and he was talking about this thing called a Turkey Vulture taking a dive toward me. Boy he would have been in for one big fight... to quote someone in a movie, "I'll snap his neck!" Funny though, the next day, Dave took me for a walk and he kept looking up at this bird, I think a hawk, whatever that is. Dave watched this bird on the top of a lamp pole for all the time we were out there. Then all of a sudden he was gone. Boy, you really gotta watch out down here. I guess at just under five pounds Dave and Pat don't think I can take care of myself.

I've had my stitches out. Just in time too. They were getting itchy and I was getting tired of Dave and Pat pushing my head away from the stitches so I could make the itch go away! I tell ya that Vet place gives me the willies! To top it off I had to go back because I had to be wormed. What's with that! UGH! I got this nasty needle, but I wasn't about to whimper. I took it like a lady. I even gave the Doctor a dirty look.

Now they're trying something new on me. They're (dare I say) sending me to DOGGY DAY CARE! Boy, yelping dogs all around me. They left me so they could go to a park and eat. Sure, they leave me with strangers and a screaming dog right next to me! I will say though, the people who handled me were really nice. But I didn't waist any goodby's on them when Pat and Dave came to get me.... eight hours later. OK, so you don't think that's so bad? They did it again the very next day. This time Pat had Dave drop me off. I guess she couldn't take my "LOOK" I gave them from the night before. At least Dave picked me up before dark and then he took me out to the back yard of this place and let me OFF the leash. Wow, that was great. I think they call this place "Best Friends Pet Care." It was nice and clean and the people really were good to me. I guess its not all that bad. I have a feeling that I'll more than likely be there again.

I'm giving Dave and Pat less hassle with potty training. I let them sleep at least six hours now. Its really fun, I get Dave up first. He takes me out and when I go back in I make a bee-line to Pat's side of the bed. I wake her up and then she takes me to her chair and I get to cuddle in her soft robe for about an hour or so. Who said training people is all that hard?

They give me this funny soft rubbery thing to play with and then they shove a tasty treat in the darn thing. What kind of dirty trick is this? I had to really dig to get that treat.

 

They had these two nice people over and I put the charm on. They didn't stand a chance. I had Angela melting and all I had to do was look cute. Bob was a push-over as well. They even gave me a couple of new toys that I love.  

 

Pat takes me for lots of walks down the street. I'm the little "dot" next to her feet on the sidewalk.

I can't get over all the new smells down here. There's also the funny green things that just sit there and let me stare them down. Dave calls them frogs. They gotta be the dumbest things ever.

But they also have these tiny lizards that run real fast, but I'm going to catch one soon enough.

 

Oh, I've been loosing teeth like crazy. They itch and make me drool. YUK! I'll be glad when I finally have all my new teeth. Don't tell Dave but I'm going to try them out on him. He likes to play rough with me and I can "play bite" him.... but someday......

Anyway, here's one of my baby teeth.

 

Ah, I had a terrific run out back today. Dave let's me run on the long leash and I go crazy.

 

This is my "Prairie Dog" stance. Hey, I'm short, give me a break!

 

And this is my guard dog stance...

 

But there's nothing like going back into the house getting a few pats and rubs and

then settling down for a nap! This my best position!

 

What do you expect... its a dog's life!

 

 

 

 

What the??????

Things are a little different from the last time I posted on my blog.

First off I got to meet and greet a couple of local Sand Cranes. Boy, it's a good thing Dave kept me from jumping these two. They were noisy and I had to out-bark them.

 

Being so short I had to stand on my toes to make myself look bigger. They just weren't moving as fast as I liked.

I escorted them off our property and told them to leave our screens alone! In case you don't know it, these birds like to poke at the insects behind our screens in the lanai. Last week I helped Pat and Dave clean all the windows. It was my job to keep these buggers away. I had a really big job. I can just barely see over the sills so I had to bounce up and down while barking. Dave and Pat said I did a great job because we didn't see them all weekend!

 

Later in the week the bottom fell out! I didn't know what hit me. I thought I was going for a ride with Pat. I knew something was up when another lady carried me away and Pat left me. Then, these two strangers with masks on handled me and even stuck me with something that really stung. I don't remember much but I woke up feeling really different. Pat and Dave were not there. I was being handled by someone else but she was nice but I didn't feel like myself.

It wasn't until the next day when I was carried out to meet Pat and Dave. Boy, I'm glad Pat left me with my blanket. That made things a little better.

I didn't feel like moving very much and they made me as comfortable as they could.

 

Then what! Here I am not feeling so good and they put me in jail! They wouldn't let me jump up on their laps or hold me in their arms. Gee, what did I do to deserve this?

They patted and talked to me so differently. Their voices were calming but everything was different.

 

My belly was really itchy. I had these scratching things that were stuck in my tummy. I tried to soothe the itchies by licking them but Pat and Dave kept discouraging me from doing that. I finally gave up and licked the area a little lower. Funny, they didn't seem to mind that as much!

 

 

 All I wanted was a little privacy.

 

After a few days I let them take a picture of my belly. I guess it made them feel a little better.

 

I guess I really needed some rest. That's all I did for several days. They wouldn't let me jump or run.

But, when I felt a little better I drove them crazy by doing a few of my running crazy acts!

 

Things are getting better each day. I think I'll be going to have these itchy things taken out of my belly. I don't know what this whole thing was about but I'm glad it's almost over....

and things can get back to normal.

 

What! Pat and Dave just went nuts looking at one of my poops.......

 

I got worms!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!
