Whenever I hear my mom’s cell go off (especially when it’s on vibrate) I get really antsy and I start to whine and cry and I turn into a big baby. In the past when it would go off, it meant mom was leaving to go out.. meaning she was leaving me behind and at home alone. I hated that. When I heard the cell go off, even if I was sleeping, I would jump up and run to the door and guard it so mom couldn’t escape. And then I’d cry cry cry. She goes out less now. Probably because she is old, but that’s cool with me. When she gets a call or text, the old memories pop up and I start to cry all over again even if she doesn’t walk anywhere near the door. I guess old habits die hard. Who knew the sound of a cell phone going off would make me panic this much?? 🙁

Nope, it’s not my birthday. I just wanted to post a photo of me celebrating my 8th birthday with a delicious ham & cheese sandwich and some Milkbones. It was the best birthday ever because it was the only birthday party mom threw for me. She didn’t give me a party when I turned 9. What a rip off. I’ll be turning 10 in August. That’s a big milestone! I hope I get a ham & cheese sandwich this year.. and some Milkbones.. and Snausages.. and Beggin Strips!! That’d be swell!

Mom says I am the most patient dog in the world. When I’m all leashed up and ready to go on my walk or to poop and pee, I wait patiently by the door. And just as we are about to leave, mom might get a phone call and yap on the cell for a while. That doesn’t phase me. I just sit quietly by the door until she’s done. I’m such a good boy. Also, when mom is making my dinner bowl, I don’t try to eat it until she’s completely done mixing the wet food with dry food. Even if it’s right in front of my face, I won’t eat it until she’s done. How awesome of me is that? Super awesome. And when we come back from a walk, I wait by the door until mama comes back with a wet towel to wipe my feet. I don’t complain even though I hate having my paws touched. Yep, I think I just might be the most patient and awesomest dog on the planet.

Peace out!

Sometimes when I sleep, I like to roll myself up like a burrito. I do this a lot in the winter months. It keeps me warm and toasty. Sometimes I’ll sleep in my tortilla wrap even when it’s warm outside. It makes me feel like a baby all wrapped up and cozy. But I usually break free of my burrito towel after about 10-20 minutes. I like to streeetch my legs and arch my back. It feels good on my limbs and muscles!! I also make a cute stretchy noise while I do this. I’m really cute.

I love me some bread! Whenever I hear the rustling sound of the bread’s plastic bag, I drop everything and come running to the source of the sound. I love bread so much I will eat it whole and without chewing. One time I ate it too fast and then went bonkers with my toys and I threw up the bread in one solid piece .. it was only rolled up and molded by the shape of my throat. I wanted to gobble it back down, but mom threw it away. What a waste! If I could just eat bread for the rest of my days, I would be happy. Well, I would need a Snausage or two thrown in there, too. And a couple Beggin’ Strips. Besides, dogs cannot live on bread alone, right?

Amen!

Whenever mom is not home, I like to make myself comfortable on her bed even though I know I am not supposed be on it. She came home late last night, and I was mega sleepy, so when I heard the door open, I didn’t bother getting off the bed and hiding my guilt. When she walked into the room, all I did was happily greet her at the edge of the bed while wagging my tail. I was so cute she wasn’t able to yell at me! All she did was laugh and take a photo… I bet to use against me later. That’s why I didn’t make eye contact with the camera.. I can just deny it wasn’t me! She’ll never know the difference!

I was watching mama eat a peanut butter spread bagel earlier today. It looked mighty delicious so I whined and cried and begged for just a little piece. My persistence paid off because mom gave me a little chunk of the bagel with a whole lotta peanut butter on it. I think she purposely put extra pb on it for me because she watched and giggled while I tried to chew and swallow it. The pb was icky sticky, and I licked and smacked my lips for about 10 minutes until I got all traces of the pb off my face, mouth, nose, tongue, everything! Mom couldn’t stop laughing, but the joke was on her because I enjoyed every second of it! Although I did sit quietly and didn’t beg for another piece while I watched her finish the rest.

Well! Heidi-ho neighbor! Sometimes I like to pretend I’m a daddy and nurturing to my mini-me. HA! Just kidding. I am not nurturing to my mini-me at all. All I want to do to it is lick and then possibly devour it like its a bag of Snausages. It’s nothing I have against my mini-me, I just like to de-stuff anything that’s stuffed! Toys! Dolls! Pillows! I don’t discriminate! Anything stuffed is welcomed!

Ciao!

Hi there! I watched Project Runway today with mama. All those outfits made me drool. Ok, not me, but mama. She was all like ooh and wow and i want that! And I was all like you want everything! Whereas all I want is a Snausage. Or a Beggin Strip. Or a Milkbone. Ok, maybe I do want everything. Lucky for me, mama buys me all those goodies and feeds me. Why I have to do tricks for them I don’t know. Isn’t my cuteness enough to reward me a treat? I think so!

Toodles,

Mom goes on vacation a lot. I wish she’d take me with her. See, I fit perfectly in her carry on! Too bad I don’t fit under the seat space. I’m just a tiny bit too big for that space. But if I rolled up into a ball, I’d fit! I’m just not sure I want to be in that position for more than a few hours. It’s really hard for me to sit still for a few minutes! Oh, and pardon me and the position I’m lying in all exposing myself. If grandma saw me like this she’d say “Oakie! So ugly!!” Hehee
