I made the news!

Introducing "NO NO FRIDAY"

My mom is reading a book called "The Essential West Highland White Terrier" published by Wiley Publishing. In this book it says "The Westie is mischievous, spunky, affectionate, devoted, and extremely smart."

Being that my superior smartness is published fact, I feel legitimately qualified to share with you some definite doggy NO NO's.

I know what you're thinking.

Sigh.

I can just hear your sassy puppy voice saying "If he is so smart then why is he getting grounded practically every weekend."

Well, helloooooo.

Did you not read that whole quote up there??

I am MISCHIEVOUS as well as SMART.

Can't hardly help myself.

Anywoof .....

Allow me to introduce "NO NO FRIDAY," a Friday only series (despite your thoughts to the contrary, I don't get in trouble enough to post a "NO NO" every day of the week) where I will share learning lessons for all you pups and pupettes out there.

And, perhaps I will share a "NO NO" post every now and then for you people types too.

We'll see.

The first NO NO is DO NOT CHEW YOUR MOM'S SHOES. And, most importantly, DO NOT CHEW THEM WITH HER FEET IN THEM. Bad idea, really bad idea.

Sign me,

Little D, most likely off to the doghouse for the weekend again

P.S. Mom, you could really use a pedicure, by the way.

Editor's Note:

Dear Duncan,

When you quit biting my toes, I will get a pedicure.

Love,

Mom

What a night!

Well, hello there ladies ....

You know who you are.

Wink. Wink.

Thank you so much for coming to my party last night.

We really rocked it, didn't we!

After you left, I totally crashed.

Mom LOVED that and said you ladies could come back any time.

One bit of advice though ... when mom is not looking it is a GOOD THING to feed me table scraps, despite what she says.

Oh, and, a little champagne never really hurt a pup, did it?

Sign me,


Little D, Life of the Party


Editor's Note:

Dear Duncan,

No drinking until you are 18.

Love,

Mom

Why didn't I think of that?

Well call me shocked.

You know those Windows 7 commercials (not that I hang out watching tv all day or anything) where the dude is on there saying " blah blah blah and it was my idea?"

Hello.

I have just started taking a bunch of photos (see above) for a series called "From a Dog's Perspective" and now I have discovered this. Yes, now you can buy a webcam for your dog to wear so you can see the day from his perspective.

Rats.

Darn.

I hate it when someone gets to a good idea before I do!!!!

Sign me,

Little D, on to the next idea ....

Different Viewpoints

Suddenly my mom is getting lots of "Bark Control" spam in her inbox.

It is spam, right?

Surely no one out there would complain about moi, right??

Pup Fact: Westies, as a breed, cannot process the word "yappy." On the contrary, we fancy ourselves rather erudite (big word alert!) and pithy.

Enough said.

Sign me,

Little D, smooth talker

A little imperfection

Well, wooooooof, wooooooof!

I'll be darned.

I just realized my ears don't match.

There I was thinking that once it popped up it would be just like the other one.

NOT.

Oh, well. Mom says it makes me look a little "rough and tumbled" and that all the girls like that.

(Insert attempt at sexy grrrrrrr here.)

Sign me,

Little D, loving the imperfections!

What was I thinking?

Oh, boy.

What was I thinking???????

Sigh.

Wimper.

I WASN'T thinking.

Warning to all pups: do NOT, do NOT, do NOT eat your goopy toys in your mom's favorite slippers. Her favorite slippers that dad gave her on a special occasion. Her favorite slippers that dad gave her on a special occasion that were very expensive.

Bad idea.

Very bad idea.

Sign me,

Little D, gonna do better next time!
