I like mom's new shoes!

Mom took me for a nice walk today. It was fun! But it was super hot outside. My paws were burning on the asphalt, so mom carried me. We were walking to the drugstore to pick up some snacks for mom. She carried me the last few steps to the drugstore and then put me in a bag so I could go inside the store with her. It was amazing. I’ve never been inside such a big space with so much food and snacks and toys, oh boy! Then we walked back to the house, well, mom walked and I stayed in the bag. It was too hot, and I was oh so comfortables in the bag. I kept drooling and it kept hitting mom’s shin as she walked. Oopsies. She carried me in a shoulder bag, and I’m almost 20lbs! Mom is so strong! Her poor shoulder! She’s the best.

Me and my ottoman

Ma bought a nice ottoman three years ago that quickly became my favorite sleeping spot. I especially liked to sit at the edge and dangle my head off the side. I slept there everyday for a few hours. Well, now that ottoman you see in the photo no longer has that smooth straight cover. I squashed it and dented it out of shape. Now the area where I used to sleep is caved in and it isn’t as pretty as it used to be. Oops. And now I don’t even sleep on it anymore. I prefer mom’s bed! But don’t tell her that. She has no idea!

I'm good at standing!

I am really good at standing! When I was just a puppy, mom used to keep me sectioned off in the laundry room. Yeah, I know.. SO MEAN! right? Anyway, the only thing keeping me from busting out of there was a cardboard box she would put in the doorway. The box was taller than I was, so in order to see mom on the other side, I had to stand on my hind legs. I got really good at this. Every time she was in the kitchen, I’d stand up and see her most beautiful face! But then one day I got smart and realized I could move the empty cardboard box with my body (or maybe I fell against it and it moved out of the doorway.. whatever, I still figured it out myself). After that, mom bought a baby gate and locked me in. SO MEAN! But I can’t fully blame her. We lived with grandma and grandpa, and ol’ granny didn’t like me running my dirty paws all over the carpet. But as soon as we moved out, mom let me run freeeeeeeee all over the house. I was so free that I got the carpet super dirty! Oops. I guess that’s what grandma was trying to prevent. Oh, well. It’s ok. I’m cute!

Look at my big belly!

I’ve been a steady 17lbs for as long as I remember… until me and mommy moved to a new place a few months ago, and now I am almost 19lbs! ZOMG! I am FAT!!! To gain 2lbs in a few months when I’ve been 17lbs for 9yrs is absurd! I used to just eat one meal a day, but since we moved, I want to eat breakfast before mommy goes to work. I used to refuse breakfast and I’d leave it in the bowl the entire time mom was at work, but not anymore. I scarf that sucker down! And dinner is never enough either. I am licking the bowl 10minutes after I’ve finished all my food. I’m just a hungry hungry hippo! Mom and I take less walks now, too. That makes me sad. But mom tries to play fetch with me inside the house. Still, it’s not as fun as walks. But now that I’m fat, maybe we’ll go on more walks! I hope that’s the case because I don’t want to go on a diet!

Sniff Sniff.. the end is near!

It’s a sad day. Today is the last time mommy and me will sit down on a Tuesday and watch LOST together. And holy cow, F.Locke killed Tina Fey tonight! And then Ben killed Charles! But at least I got to finally see Miles and Richard after a hiatus of a few shows. I am still sad Jin and Sun are dead, but they died together, under the sea, their hearts will go on.. and on. Oh, Jack, they’ll never let go! Meanwhile, LA Jack is going to fix LA Locke’s legs! And LA Kate is going to put on a pretty dress and go to a concert with LA Desmond! How fun! I love dates! I hope island Desmond is okay! He seemed a little wonky last time. Brotha!

Namaste,
Oakie

I need some peace and quiet!

It was rainy and thundery this evening when mama came home. I was so scared of the thunder I didn’t even want to pee, but mom nudged me so I tinkled under the tree. But there was no way I was gonna poop! I put my tail between my legs and ran for the back door! I wouldn’t even eat my delicious dinner because I was so scared. But mom sat on the floor next to my dish and hand fed me a few bites so I’d finish the bowl. I’m glad she did that because I was honnngry! We just went out for my nightly poo, and I didn’t want to pee this time either, but I put on a brave face and did my business. But that was it.. I wanted to go back in! Mom knew I had to go #2 (because I didn’t go earlier and because I ate a big dinner!) so after we made a few circles in the backyard, I popped a squat and pooped a big poopy!!! I was so happy I was done and we went back inside the house! Now it’s sleepy time for me!

Goodnight!

Sleepy sleep sleepy head

I love Sundays. Mostly because I go on long walks with mommy through the neighborhood. But today was lazy because it rained, so we stayed inside. I’m really short, so when I walk on wet sidewalk or grass, my tummy and my paws get soaking wet and mom has a hard time cleaning me before I destroy the carpet with my sogginess. So instead of going on a walk, mom let me jump on the bed and we took a nap together. It was nice until she tried to spoon me. Hey now, I’m no little spoon! I don’t like that extra affection. I’m a strange dog. I like to just lie on the bed and sprawl out with nothing in my way, including mommy! I guess I take after mama ’cause she’s like that, too. But for some reason she wanted to cuddle today, and I was having none of that! I need my personal space! But I still love you, mommy.

I kinda look like crazy jungle haired Claire in this pic, eh?

Ahoy! It rained and thundered today. I was super scared and I cried. I hate the sound of thunder! And to make matters worse, some crazy people set off fireworks and it was so loud and totally uncalled for! Fireworks in May? That is ridiculous! Fireworks should never be set off … ever! And if they are set off, they should be silent. Or they can sound like squeaky toys. But they should not be allowed to sound like thunder! No, thanks!!

This is slightly uncomfortubles

Hooray for me! I didn’t puke last night or wake mommy up in the middle of the night! The expensive food worked! But if I wanted to puke, the rug is back on the floor with a nice faint yellow stain on it. Hehe oops, my bad! Now I am sitting here waiting patiently for mama to take me out for my morning poo, but she’s on the computer. Maybe if I make some whiny noises she’ll hurry up and take me out. Yep, that worked! Have a happy Friday!

Crazy jungle haired Oakie likes to barfaroonni on the carpet!

Whoopsie Daisies! I did it again. I barfed. In the middle of the night. Waiting up mommy. And since I puked a couple nights ago, the rug was hanging to dry, so I threw up directly on the carpet. It was really gross and dark brown! I think mommy was mad at me because she leaped out of the bed and turned on the lights and wiped it up as fast as she could. I had no idea she could move that fast at 4am! Way to go, mommy! But she didn’t smile at me while she was cleaning 🙁 oops, sorry I didn’t take a couple steps back and barf on the floor towels (towels mommy put on the carpet just for me because I like to wipe my face on them like they’re big ol’ napkins). Well, hopefully I won’t be throwing up anymore. Mama returned the food she just bought me and replaced it with the more expensive stuff that I like. I’m high maintenance. I’m allergic to cheap dog food! I’m a king! Yay!

Kisses,
Oakie
