The Worst Weekend Ever! (...Part 2)

Today Mom was off work again so she took me to the V-E-T.

Usually I don't mind the vet because they are nice to me and they don't hurt me much. But today was different! Today they put a needle in me! Several of them! Mom said I had to get my shots. Stupid shots.

They also stuck something up my teeny nose! Mom said it was another vaccine. I did okay but I sneezed on the vet right after that. Serves her right.

This pose is how I got the nickname Baby Bear. Mom says I sit like a tiny bear cub.

But they still weren't done! After that they put something in my back! Mom said it was a microchip, so that if I get lost someone can find me and get me back home. I am skeptical though. I think it has something to do with aliens tracking my movements so they can take me back to my home planet of Melmac. Oh wait - never mind, nothing.

Good news from the vet - I've lost exactly 2 pounds! I weigh 22.7 pounds now. Mom thinks it's from switching me to grain-free food. I think it's because she starves me.

And here are some pictures of me "enjoying" my new fenced-in back yard.

This is my favorite bush. I pee on it on average 5 times per trip outside.

This is my big backyard.

And this is usually as far as I go.

What's the problem?

I'll just stay right here with you, Mom.

Why would I want to go down there?

Mom had to put bricks under the gate & fence just in case I plan an escape one of these days.

Mom has to go back to work tomorrow. I'll be sad, but between you and me, I have been missing my daytime naps since she's been off work since last Thursday, and I don't nap when Mom is home! I might miss something! Right now the cable guy is installing something on our house and it has me all riled up. Maybe Mom will run to Home Depot or something and let me take a nap! Don't tell her I said that though, I have to keep up my image that I am completely heartbroken when she's gone. Deal??

The Worst Weekend Ever! (...Part 1)

It didn't start out so bad. On Thursday my Grandma and my cousin Trey and Trey's Mom came to visit! I was totally psyched! Grandma gave me bologna. Now, it wasn't brisket, but it was still pretty darn good. Mom never gives me good stuff!!

Relaxing with my best friend Trey on Thursday night - when life was still normal.

But then on Friday they left me.

Me looking happy with my BFF before I realized they were about to leave me for 5 hours!!!

Mom said they went shopping but I suspect they were out trying to give me away. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Mom said she got all new furniture! Fantastic! I was super excited to get my fur all over it.

Then Saturday a bunch of people started showing up and taking all of our stuff!! They put me in my crate and I protested loudly the whole time. Mom wasn't doing anything to stop them so I had to bark and whine and even screech a lot to try to make them stop. But then she started helping them! Betrayer!

Then we showed up at this new house and they put all of our stuff in it. I didn't even get to say goodbye to my yard at the apartment! These are the last pictures of me enjoying my old stomping grounds.

Look at me. I was such a fool. I didn't suspect a thing.

The new house has a yard with a fence around it. I am not so sure about it. Mom was convinced I would love it but I still won't leave her side. I'm just confused. I don't have to wear my leash? And I can actually stay out there without Mom? I don't know. For now I'll just keep following her. Maybe someday I'll go outside alone but not just yet. I did meet the neighbors next door and they pretty much freaked out about me. They kept trying to pet me over the fence but I just barked like the good guard dog I am. I also turned in circles a lot but that has little to do with being a guard dog. I just like to turn in circles - it's fun, you should try it.

Ever since we've been here I just walk around the house looking around and wondering when we are going home. Mom keeps telling me this is home but I am not convinced. My tummy has even been hurting because Mom says what has been coming out of me for the last 2 days is pretty gross. She said it looked better this morning - that's because I think I'm finally getting used to things.

I'll keep you all posted about this house. Maybe it will be better when Mom finally gets around to unpacking everything and hanging up pictures of Yours Truly. Oh and when I have a good thin layer of my fur all over my new furniture.

Won't my fur look awesome here??

It will look even better on this green chair!

And on this sleeper love seat! It matches perfectly!

Do you see that pile? Those are all clothes that have nowhere to go because we lost some closet space. This is why Mom is feeling overwhelmed.

Stay tuned because the Worst Weekend Ever didn't end yesterday. Oh no! It got even worse this morning! I'll give you a hint - it starts with a V and ends with a T and it has an E in the middle. I'll also make Mom take some pictures of me trying to enjoy this new fenced-in yard-thingie. Later!

DONUT!!!!!

Finally my prize donut has arrived! After four agonizing tries and three heartbreaking losses, I was the big winner of Melissa and Emmitt's donut extravaganza! And boy did it not disappoint!

Emmitt posed with my delicious chocolate and lemon donut before sending it all the way to Missouri!

And Melissa was sweet enough to include a very cool bookmark for Mom!

The donut BEFORE I got my paws on it! Doesn't it look delicious??

And let me tell you - it smells as good as it looks!

Ah, the first taste...

I just had to bury my whole face in it!! (And Mom wants you to ignore the little wet mohawk on my back, I just got a flea treatment)

So this is what chocolate tastes like!!

I had to stop and think about the best way to get inside this yumminess.

SLUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRP!

OK, I think that's enough taking pictures, Mom. Let me concentrate.

I'm having a great time trying to destroy it thread by thread. I just hope my Mom doesn't take it away before bedtime.

Thank you Melissa and Emmitt! You're my new favorites! (Don't tell Mom)
