Grooming Day

Mommy and Daddy take care of all my grooming needs right at home. Mommy usually gives me a bath, although Daddy has done so at time. But, Mommy is in charge of brushing me, cutting my nails and cleaning my ears. In this pictures, she was getting me ready for Christmas Eve/Day festivities with a nice nail trim! I hang out there while she snips and files my pretty nails down. We even snapped a couple of pictures together when it was all done!

What is Snow?

So I recently had my first encounter with snow. I must say that I'm not a big fan of it. It's fine and all, but it's just too cold. It's better than rain because when you're out there for the same amount of time, you get less wet in snow than rain. But, it is really cold. Daddy is great and shovels a potty area for me. This also helps me from sinking in 1 or more feet of snow. I am a small dog after all. Mom got up early (very unusual for her) to get these pictures of me!

Pillows are Fun

Believe it or not, pillows can be a lot of fun! Mom got me this pillow at a going out of business sale for only $4. It is wicked fun. I beat it up and chew it and drag it all over the floor. It's really a blast - you should give it a shot some time!

Me, Mom and Blankets!

Daddy snapped this fun picture. Mom was laying down feeling yucky and I snuggled up in the warm blankets with her!

I Love Presents...oops...I mean Christmas!

I really enjoyed myself. Christmas is a great holiday. I never got so much stuff at once! My aunts and grandparents got me treats and toys! Then, Mom, Dad and I went to the pet store where Auntie Sandra works and bought me more stuff. Of course I got food and more treats, but I also got more toys. I really love the stuff monkey that I got. It is as big as me and I managed to drag it all the way up the stairs last night. I'm a strong girl!

All I have to do now is work on putting my toys back in the toy basket when I am done playing. I leave them all over the floor and Mom is going to bust her other foot one day. She can't walk as it is.

Well, pics will come soon. Till then, enjoy the cold weather which I cannot stand. I just know it was warmer back home in Oklahoma.

Been Sick

Hey all,

I'm sorry I haven't written sooner but I have been down a paw lately. Mom took me to the vet and I have a luxating patella. I can barely say that in one woof. Anywho, my knee cap moves out of place. I've been doing fine for the most part, but have been a little bummed. I should not need surgery although it is an (expensive) option. The doc says so long as I keep at a normal weight, then I can live with it. Daddy's friend suggested a vitamin supplement that I just started taking, but it might be giving me diarrhea...not fun. We'll have to see. I'm cutting back on treats to make sure it's the supplement and not something else. I have some great pics from my first snow! I will post them soon!
