What does a Yorkie have to do to get some computer time around here!

Brother, between Pat and Dave I don't stand a chance at getting some keyboard time lately. They should be glad they didn't give me their password! I have to wait for Dave to go get a beer then I can paw the keys for a few minutes.

Its beginning to get cooler here so Pat and Dave likes dressing me up in these jackets. The jackets do feel nice and warm but they crimp my style!
Let's see, I've got this nice furry one in the picture below, a gray one that's really snug and makes me look tough, and a new one that makes me look like an Eskimo! I can't wait to try that one on!
 
If I'm going to catch a squirrel, I've got to be able to move freely and quickly.


 Gee, what do you want? He's always pointing this thing that flashes at me.
 
 I fooled him this time. I smiled for him!
 
Alright already, enough is enough! 
Geesh, will he ever let me hunt!

Uh, wait a minute. I think I see one...

OK he's got my attention now!
Oh, this is my classic profile pose! Do you like it?

Come on Dave, keep up!
 
 Darn I know he's up there.

Chasing them up the tree is fun. But my neck is getting tired.
Whew! There are so many squirrels around here. My work will never be done!
 
I actually think I got away with it! I deleted two photos that Dave took of me that were really embarrassing.
He'll never notice, and once I cuddle up on his lap he'll forget all about them!

Baby it's cold outside!

Boy, what happened to the nice warm days down here. Dave and Pat have been putting my nice warm coats on me for the past day or two, but this morning I had to fast-walk when Dave took me for my morning routine. Yikes, even with my coat on I was much colder than I thought I would be. I heard Dave say to Pat that it is 42 degrees outside. I don't know what that meant but I certainly felt how cold my big ears were this morning. When we got back into the house, I had to sit in Dave's lap to warm up. He felt my ears and began to rub them, boy did that feel good. I really like Dave's long walks in the morning and afternoon but I think I'll give him a hint when I get really cold. I know, I'll just start limping on my rear leg. He'll think my surgery is hurting and "bingo," he'll pick  me up! See, being small has many advantages.

I've been having so much fun "treeing" the dumb squirrels around here. I get so excited when I see them and they don't see me. I immediately go into my "stealth" crawl.
 
These guys are easy targets when I'm in my "stealth" crawl. My only problem is Dave! He follows me and can't keep up when I bolt toward my prey. Not only that, but because he can't keep up with me I always run out of leash before I get to the buggers! Oh well, I still claim that I "treed" these furry rats!
 
Dave was just looking at some of my pictures and I quietly slipped this one into my blog. This is me in my "Mom's" yard in PA. I remember this was just before Pat and Dave took me with them. I was running around with my "Mom" and chased a bunny. Becky, Pat and Dave were all excited. They were yelling for me to come back. That was so much fun. Wow, how long ago was that? Dave says I'm one and a half years old now. Gee, I thought we were going to get to see my "Mom" and Becky this year. Oh well, I hope we can see them sometime soon. Maybe when it gets really warm again.
 
Oh Pat just told Dave that Darlene and maybe Linda will visit us today! I have so much fun with them. I'll have to do the "puppy thing" and share my "lap sitting" between both of them. Its really easy for me to get them to pay attention to me!
Got to go, I have to practice my puppy expressions!
 
Now I'll have more to talk about next time.

On watch!

I just can't get enough of the new views I have at this house. I've got four awesome places I can check out all the squirrels and lizards that try to tease me.

This one is my favorite! I have my couch that I can relax on and check out the squirrels. But, lately Pat and Dave don't let me jump on the couch. I have to use these funny stairs!
 
This one is new. Pat opens the window thingy and I can guard the front of the house. There's also lots of lizards crossing the driveway.

 
This one is great because I can watch any lizards that get into the screen area. Sometimes I have to bark at the squirrels that cross the screens. Dave gets all upset because the squirrels can break the screen. I keep trying to tell him I can take care of them!

 
 These windows are great but just a little tall for me. I don't mind the view from these windows because my kennel is in the corner. I would never get any rest if I could see out these windows from my kennel. But don't worry, I only use my kennel when Dave and Pat go out. I have a super comfortable pet igloo that Pat just gave me for their bedroom. Its so soft and warm. I'll show you next time.
 
Here's what I can see. This guy didn't stand a chance... if I got out!
 
 
 
I have to show you my new "Clip and Dip" as Darlene calls it!
Just yesterday, Winston and I got to get "clipped ad dipped" together! Then, I got to hang out with him all day long! What a blast. He's getting older and I can run circles around him. But I have to be careful, when he's had enough he puts his paw down really hard.... usually on me!

 
 Boy, Dave's buggin' me with all these pictures!
 
Oh, all right, one more!
 

That's it! I'm tired!
See you next time.
