Oakie Doesn’t Do Much

Happy Halloween! Mom dressed me up as a mummy. I played the part perfectly. I was a super unhappy mummy and I moped around in my costume. Mom thought I was acting, but really I just hated my costume and I wanted out. We passed candy to trick or treaters. They all thought I looked super cute. Who can blame them? Sometimes I want to marry myself!

One more day until Halloween! I can’t wait to wear my costume. I am so excited to show it off. The kids will be so scared when I come running out. I’ve been working on my Boo. So far it just sounds like Aroooo! I can’t get the B sound to work! What’s wrong with me!? Anyway, here is a picture of me making a scary face with my tongue. Are you afraid?

I’m trying to sleep, but it’s hard to do with a camera going off in your face. Mom has been camera crazy these past few days. I guess I can’t blame her. I’d want to take a million photos of me too if I knew how to operate a camera. Instead I just sniff it when mom is holding it. Sometimes I’ll lick it, but that doesn’t do no good. I guess I just have to be the beautiful subject.

You can’t tell, but I’m laughing like crazy in this photo! Mom has her hand on my chest trying to hold me up so I’m sitting like a human. But it’s not working because I’m kind of top-heavy, and when she lets go, I topple over. But her hand is tickling me so I couldn’t sit up straight if I tried! Tee hee!

Again with the pictures. Mom loves to snap photos of me when I do not want to have my picture taken. But at least I’m trying here. She told me to sit still and smile for the camera. I’m sort of smiling. Ok, not really. I’m really thinking Get me out of here this crazy lady is driving me nuts. But nutz or no nutz, I still love my mommy. She feeds me snausages.

Dangit! I fell for it again! I was chewing my bone and mom asked if I was hungry and I got up from my comfortable seat and went to her and then she snapped a pic of me and didn’t even have a treat for me! What a bunch of baloney!!!

I am running out of things to blog about. I know, amazing huh? I am such an interesting dog. I may be the most interesting dog in the world. Some days I just sit on the floor and I don’t move for hours. How’s that for awesome?! Don’t you wish you could do that too? I thought so.

Step back in time to 2005! Yep, that’s me as a 5-year-old. Ah, good times. Things were so simple, so easy, so innocent then. 2005 was a good year. All I had to worry about was .. well, I didn’t have to worry about anything. Just like I don’t really have to worry about anything now. I guess things haven’t really changed! Well, I am a little nuttier now than I was then. I don’t know how that is possible, considering it has now been 10years since I’ve been nut-free. How does one get nuttier the longer he lives without nuts? Riddle of the century! Or decade, in my case.

It is really hard for me to talk with my tongue hanging out, but I can’t help it. I like to pant really hard! Sometimes I will pant really hard for no reason! I didn’t just run one mile. I didn’t just jump and down in a jump-rope contest. I didn’t just swing my hips in a hula-hoop contest! Sometimes I just like to pant really hard. Is that so wrong? You just have to get used to my slurred speech when my tongue is hanging out! (and no, I didn’t get this FOB accent from mom!)

This is one of my favorite places to sit in the house. I like to lounge here and look out the window across from me. When I see a person walking across the street, I like to scream bloody murder and bark until someone tells me to shut up, but I don’t shut up. I keep barking until that person is out of sight, but not immediately after they are out of sight. I’ll continue to bark until maybe 30 seconds after they’re gone. What’s awesome is that there is a bus stop right there, so people can be standing around for 15 minutes straight! That’s 15 minutes of pure barking bliss mom gets to hear from me! She is so lucky!!!
