Anybody seen my dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Can you come home early from work today please.

I need a new chew stick and mom won't give me one.

I'll be waiting.

Thanks.

OMG

Oh, my gosh.

This was my first Thanksgiving.

Exhausting.

I had NO IDEA.

The food.

The long walks.

The food.

The family time.

The food.

The naps.

The food.

The movie watching.

The food.

The fireplace going.

The food.

I guess you can tell how our weekend went.

Mom and I are still in bed recuperating.

Here's hoping yours was as wonderful as ours was!

Anybody get me a bag to destroy? Aunty K, are you bringing me some when you come this week?????

Wake up everybody!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!

YOU GOTTA GET MOVING!!!!

MOM SAYS IT'S THE BIGGEST SHOPPING DAY OF THE YEAR!!!


She also says there is absolutely no way we are getting out in that madness.

As you well know, there is NOTHING I love more than going destructo on a shopping bag.

Delight.

Joy.

Fanatical.

Mayhem.

OK, you get the point.

I NEED YOU TO GET OUT THERE AND SHOP SHOP SHOP PEOPLE!

Take one for the team, so to speak.

Get me some bags.

Go get me some bags people!!!!

I am thankful.

I am thankful for my family, and for friends known and unknown, who read my blog everyday.

May many scraps fall on the floor today, may your ears be scratched by everyone who enters your house, and may you find a warm snuggly spot to settle into as the sun sets.

I am thankful.

I am thankful for the nice people in China who made me this handsome holiday outfit.


No, I am NOT. My mom made me say that.

I am thankful that sometimes in the end I WIN, I WIN.

I am thankful.

I am thankful for my dad.

He always has a strong hand to guide me.

I am thankful.

I am thankful for my mom. She has shared with me her gift of lounging. Nobody hangs around doing nothing and completely enjoying it better than my mama.

Except maybe me.

NO NO FRIDAY

DO NOT: get caught with your hand in the bag. As I discovered quite quickly, this is NOT a loop hole. As with the mugs I was licking last week, it does not matter if the item is actual MERCHANDISE or if it is used for DISPLAY.

DON'T EAT IT.

DO: When caught with your paw in the proverbial cookie jar, DO react fast. Remove your paw and put your head down and eyes up ALL IN ONE SWIFT MOVEMENT. It is the ONE MOVEMENT reaction that will save you, pups and puppers.

Think "too cute for the dog house" puppers.

THAT is the reaction we're going for.

And it worked this time :)

Little D ... free free free this weekend

An unusual training session ...

You may recall that I am training for the 2012 Olympics.

We don't publicized that fact so much around here.

Don't like to brag and all.

It started out like any other training session ...

But then I noticed foreign objects on my launching platform ...

And something was creating a haze like when you are dreaming ...

HOLY MOLEY ... there were bubbles in my training tub.

They tasted B.A.D.

They tickled my nose.

They made funny sounds.

I ran.

Hit the road.

Barking, SCREECHING, all the way to my dad's office.

Dang pups.

Scarey.

Training session aborted.

I'll keep you posted on whether or not I even go near the arena again.

Wow.

Bubbly.

Interior Design

You may or may not know that my mom loves interior design.

Just ask Dad.

I think maybe I got the gene too.

Take a look at that space up there.

I think I might need a wall design like that near my bed too.

You know, finish out the space.

In style.

If you're interested too, you can go here and check out my mom's sister-in-law.

She's got connections with these people.

Dogs have good taste too, you know.

Nothing calms a dog more than having their own well-designed space.

I'm just saying ....

The Downside of The Road

Typing to the tune of that old country song "Your Cheating Heart ....."


The bad news about the road is that mom needs help.


She called in reinforcements.


They were good.


They were really, really good.


But, as is sometimes the case with moi, they just could not help themselves.


Two of my favorite aunts cheated on me.


Yep.


Right there is the evidence.


It hurts; It hurts real bad.


Last thing I heard mom say about it was "it hurts all the way to the bank, buddy."


Nice Mom.


That's real comforting.

What a Weekend!

Whoa.

Dude.

I mean ...

Whoa.

Puppers.

You know how a dirty face is a sure sign of a good time?

I had a great weekend.

But you knew that from the picture, right???

Here's hoping it carries over into the week.

For ALL of us.

Sign me,

Happy D

Happy Birthday to one of my favorites

Happy Birthday Aunty Sharon!!!!

You are one of my most favorite aunts in my whole wide world and I hope you have a birthday FULL OF TREATS!!!!

xoxo,

Little D

NO NO FRIDAY

Dang.

I thought I had found a loop hole.

We were doing inventory.

It was BO. RING.

I found the mugs.

No harm in that, right?

She said don't EAT the merchandise.

She never said anything about LICKING the merchandise.

Apparently, in HER mind, it's the same thing.

Yep.

Even though I was boarded last weekend and GONE FOR 4 DAYS ....

SHE STILL GROUNDED ME.

Off to the dog house it is, pups.

Off I go.

Available Soon

Well check me out.

Or rather, check out the new car magnet we are selling over at the Puperie.

Nice, yes??

And true, yes??

We are working on a new website.

Yes.

Really.

In the meantime, have your people e-mail my people if you'd like one.

Great stocking stuffer.

But we'll cover that more later.

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY POP!!

I had a dream ....

I dreamed last night that my mom dressed me up for Thanksgiving.

We don't dress up for Thanksgiving, do we?

It was only a dream, right???

Work with me here people ....

It was a dream, right?

Just in case ...

I ate it.

Problem solved.

Sign me,

Whoa.

Oh, Pupper.

Tired.

Four days of camp is apparently my max.

Crawled into mom's lap and crashed.

She held one of those dental mirrors under my nose from time to time to check for breathing.

Oh.

My.

Didn't check my toys.

Didn't eat.

Dad? Dad who?

Sleep.

Done.

Better blogging tomorrow pups.

Sign me,

Little D

Wooo hooooooooooooooo!

Yo ... pups and pupettes. My mom and dad's schedules collided and I am at camp today.

ON A MONDAY!!!!!

They read my blog here at camp and they know what paws on the keyboard is like, so they are gonna make me sign off of their computer real quick.

Here is a video we have been watching around here.

We LAUGH OUT LOAD at this one.

Hope you do too!!!!

Sign me,

Little D

NO NO FRIDAY ON THE ROAD

Clearly it's not just me folks.

Clearly it's not just me.

Talent on the Road

You know, every now and then I have these flashes of insight.

Like when I saw these pics from the road.

Again, I WASN'T THERE MYSELF so I only have pictures to go by.

But we've already covered that.

Back to my insight.

There may be a reason why Hollywood has not called me yet.

Check out these splash dogs and frisbee dogs.

I am guessing their agents have a bit more to work with than mine.

Maybe instead of diving I need to practice jumping?

You know, try UP instead of DOWN.

I'll keep you posted.

On the road again ...

Geesh.
Maybe one day we can get back to pictures of MOI on this blog.

Yep, we hit the road AGAIN.
Well, Mom hit the road again.
WITHOUT ME AGAIN.
I am starting to get a complex.

Check out that super cute lab puppy up there.
Listen pups and pupettes.
Work with me here.
If that is who YOUR mom was hanging out with on weekends, wouldn't YOU be getting a complex?

I used to have ears like that little chihuahua back when I was a little pup.
Do they not grow into their ears like we do?
I'm just saying ....

It wasn't just me

Nope, it wasn't just me that got to get dressed up on Sunday ....

Turns out quite a few of us pups had the pleasure of dressing up like hotdogs and ice cream and gators and sharks and pumpkins and politicians ... oh, my!

I heard some of the pups saying they were loving it.

You know, all the picture taking and ear scratching made it all worth it.

That American Idol up there with the glasses on was in the parade. He had a stage and he was singing. Really.

Not pictured.

Moi.

BECAUSE I DID NOT GET TO GO TO THE PARADE.

But we've already covered that.

Thank you Mary for the pictures.
