Doggie Daycare

Melanie had been gone all day today and had to be gone tonight too, so I asked if I could go to daycare. I mean it is unreasonable to be crated for that long during a single day. Thanks to her quick thinking, I got to go over to Erin's house for a couple hours. It was so much fun to hang out with some new people! They played with me and pet me and don't tell Melanie, but they gave me a little treat! Then when Melanie picked me up I didn't want to leave. I hope I get to go back really soon!

Jury Duty

Today Melanie has jury duty so I have to be home all day long by myself :-(

Nice Day

It was such a beautiful day today that Melanie took me to the park....something that loads of other people did too! There were TONS of dogs there most of whom were "swimmers". I'm not much of a swimmer myself, but I did almost get knocked overboard today. We were having a heated "discussion" near the edge and all of the sudden my boxer friend fell in. In the process of the humans getting involved I almost fell in too! After that I stayed clear of the water and focused on a game of chase with some other dogs. I got so hot that I rolled in the mud to cool off every once in a while. Eventually Melanie said we had to go home...little did I know she meant for a bath!

RIP

As an update to my earlier post, the new ducky toy is now dead. In only a few short hours I managed to completely destroy it...okay at least to the point that I could eat the stuffing! Melanie says she will try to sew it up but I think it's a lost cause.

New TOY!

Today it is raining which normally means a day inside on the couch. BUT, Melanie took me to Petco for a shopping trip. Not sure what she was really looking for but I got to meet loads of new friends! Eventually I begged her to get me a new toy and she conceded. I picked out a soft yellow duck that squeaks. It was so good I had to chew it on the way home, and now I think I will take a nap with it. Later peeps!

Boxer Day

NO, not the holiday....just at the park today! There were like 10 boxers there, all different colors and sizes. Of course Remi was there whose coat is like a tiger! And Boomer who is almost all white! Anyway, there was another white boxer there that was just a small puppy. We had a great time rolling around and chasing each other. Of course I took it easy so he could keep up with me...I'll save my real speed for the bigger dogs! I think Melanie made some new friends at the park today too, but I don't want her hogging my blog so she will just have to get her OWN place on the world wide web!

Kongs are a Pugs best friend

I love my Kong! When I see Melanie making one, I RUN over to my crate and sit next to it. If she doesn't hurry, I race back and forth between there and the kitchen. Then FINALLY when she gets it done, I go right in the crate and sit down. This morning she didn't even have to say a word to me. And my rommie Teresa was VERY IMPRESSED!!! What can I say...I'm the perfect dog....when I want to be :-)

Empty Bowl Syndrome

EBS is a very serious condition whereby you must return to your bowl a dozen times a day to check if there is more food in it. Each time there is no food there you must seek out your human and look as sad as possible. This very rarely results in a treat but at least you are doing your best to feign starvation.

Walkin' Buddy

Today my rommie Teresa took me for a walk! It was so nice to be out in the fresh air. Then she stayed home with me for a bit and we sat on the couch. Eventually she had to go back to school, but I am hoping Melanie comes home soon and we go to the park.

Rainy day

Today it is raining....which means it is the perfect day to nap on the couch! I just hope Melanie sees it this way.

Maeby or Maeby Not

This afternoon Melanie took me over to Doug's house to play with Maeby. We had a great time running back and forth, especially when the neighbor dog joined us! Then we rolled in the grass wrestling each other. I tried to get her to play tennis ball with me, but she dunked into the water bucket effectively stopping that game. Eventually we just collapsed in the grass and took a nap next to each other. Although she kept poking me, so I had to poke her back during nap time. It was so much fun that I want to go back again real soon!

Hello to you

What is the big deal with a buffer zone between people? Do dogs have to avoid the personal bubble around people? My roommie keeps telling me that I have NO respect for personal space. I'm mean you don't see dogs respecting each other's bubble when at the dog park. Quite the contrary it is perfectly acceptable (if not mandatory) that you sniff each other's butts as an introduction! She's lucky I don't introduce myself to her that way!

My Special Place

so I am TOTALLY getting into this whole crate thing. I like to go in there and chew my toys so Melanie won't bother me. Seems if I am out in the living room, she like to take them away from me for a game of fetch! The past two days I have gone in the crate immediately when Melanie made me a Kong. I know that the Kong means she is leaving, but as long as she comes back I will be okay. I am hoping she comes home early today so we can go to the doggie park!

Sleepy Boy

After spending a grueling day at the groomers getting handsome, I am exhausted. I promptly fell asleep for the rest of the afternoon and evening.

Hiding Places

I've taken to playing hide and go seek. Yesterday I found a GREAT hiding place under the end table in the living room. It has this table cloth on it and I was hiding for like 30 minutes before Melanie found me! Ha Ha Ha! My second favorite hiding place is underneath her bed upstairs....there are some pillows under there that make it an ideal place to take a nap!

No. 59

It's good to be home although I will miss Yellow, TX. So far I have run circles around the apartment...I can reach every room in 3.5 seconds flat! We also went to the park to play for a while. Teresa says I am a different dog since the break, but I don't know what that means...I'm am the same lovable dog as before!

Car Wash

I forgot to post last week about my very first car wash! Melanie took me to the Quick Quack car wash. First of all there were all the ducks decorating the place which I found very appealing. Then the attendant gave me a doggie biscuit which was AWESOME! The car wash it self was really scary and I tried to hide in the back seat. But then Melanie let me up in her lap for the rest of the tunnel. Overall it was exciting, but I'm not much of a thrill seeker so I think I'll stay away from future trips to the car wash.

Pig Ear

Today I got a special treat straight from the Clint and Sons. My grandpa brought it back from white deer a few days ago, but I just now got a taste of it. It is REALLY yummy! I liked it so much I will have to be on best behavior so that Melanie will get me another one!

Freedom

Today I escaped from the backyard after everyone left the house. It was so great to run around the neighborhood checking out the real estate. But I think I scared Melanie cause she looked pretty upset when she found me. Maybe I should have left a note saying where I went?

Christmas in January

Today I got a present from Bosley and his humans! It is this absolutely fantastic toy called the "Dinosaur Cuz". I have been carrying it around all day from room to room and then outside. It squeaks when you chew it and the feet are the best part to chew on! I highly recommend it to all my doggie readers!

Cookie Monster

Today Melanie and I baked 11 dozen cookies...the famous chocolate chip ones. She told me the recipe but made me promise not to reveal it!!!
