Goodbye

Don't cry, mommy. I'm an angel now. We will snuggle again someday.

Going Somewhere?

When I first saw this red duffel bag sitting on the floor I didn't want anything to do with it. After all, I'm a good dog and I don't mess with stuff that isn't mine. But my mommy is persistent. She kept calling me over to it and pointing at it. I tried to back away but she wasn't getting the picture. Finally, I got a little closer and the inside of this wonderful red bag smelled like TREATS!

I'm cautious by nature so I didn't dive right in but as soon as I put one paw on the bag mommy gave me a treat and said, "Good Boy!" I did it again and nothing happened so I tried putting two paws on the bag. I got another treat and mom seemed really excited about that. When I got all the way in the bag I found all kinds of treats in the bottom. I thought I'd really hit the jackpot this time!

After a while I got tired of that game but later that night I went over to the red bag and got in again just to see if the magic still worked. Sure enough, it did! Mommy tossed me a treat and scratched my ears saying, "goodboygoodboygoodboy!" I'm not sure what this game is for but I like it. Mom says I'm a fast learner so next time she wants to play goofy games with luggage it's in the bag.

Drying Off

Let's be honest: bathtime is not my favorite. I don't particularly like to get my paws wet. When the rest of me gets wet I look like an anorexic rodent. I just want to look my best at all times. And don't even get me started on how annoying it is to have water in my ears. With ears like mine it can be difficult to get everything dry. That's why I like to spend a little extra time with my bath towel. It can mean the difference between a good hair day and that 'drowned rat' look.

Fezzik The Ferocious

I am Fezzik The Ferocious. I know I look pretty scary in this picture but I was actually yawning at the time. Sometimes I sneak off to take a nap on the big people's bed. It has the best pillows and it has plenty of room for a little puppy like me.

The Big Guy

Okay. I am officially on my best behavior. I've met "The Big Guy" and I'm convinced he's real. He knows my name and everything. I sat on his lap and told him I want LOTS of chew sticks for Christmas. I've been good, I swear! I hardly ever get on the coffee table anymore and it's been weeks since I've gotten into the laundry basket. There's a stocking hanging from the mantle and it has my picture on it so it must be mine. I can't wait to see what's in it!

Stuffed Animals Are For Sissies!

This is my rope toy. There are many like it, but this one is MINE! No more stuffed animals for me. In five minutes there will be stuffing and chewed off legs all over the place.

I am Fezzik. I am a force of nature. Never underestimate my destructive powers. It doesn't matter if this toy is bigger than my head. I need a challenge. Who knew that at four and a half pounds I could be larger than life?

Trick or Treat

This year I got a treat: a new costume!
