The Fun Has Resumed

Yesterday, Momma loaded me and Monte into the car but would tell us where we were going. Turns out we were going to Cole's house to pick her up. We'ze was so excited. And Cole was ecstatic when her Momma opened the door and she saw us waiting in the car. Momma walked up the sidewalk to Cole and Cole jumped up on her back legs and gave Momma a big hug and kiss. Us big puppies have a harder time doing that. Cole's a little girl. We'ze been having tons of fun and causing lots of trouble. (we've been doing this on purpose so Momma won't dream of getting another pup). Momma's taken us all to the park and we've intentionally all gone in different directions to see how far Momma's arms can stretch. Unfortunately she's not Gumby. We've also been encouraging Cole's bad behavior. We've been betting milk bones that she won't do stuff like eat tissues out of the trash and jump in bed. We've also convinces Cole that none of the FIVE puppy beds in the house are suitable for her. So she's taken the bed in the spare bedroom. Momma and Poppa were not pleased. Us pups aren't allowed on furniture so that our kitty siblings have a place to lay where they won't get our hair on them. We don't always agree with it but we understand. We get privileges the kitties don't. Like we'ze get to go in the yard all the time, to the park, to Aunt Corey's and Grandma's and Momma takes us for car rides all the time when she runs errands. Poppa can't do this because he drives a clown car. Anyway, I digress. As for Cole sleeping in the spare bedroom, it appears that laying on the bed didn't suffice. From the looks of the comforter it appears that she tucked herself in too.... hehehe. And some more good news, Aunt Corey just called that she's going away this weekend and Kitty's coming over.

everyone's gone

Friday morning Carley came over. We had so much fun. We played ALL day. She kept giving us and Momma kisses. I think it's her way of thanking us for having her over. When the icy cream truck came Momma got a cone for Carley too. She'd never has icy creams before but she sure did love it!!! Later in the day we went for a long run to the park and got soaking we in the creek. After the creek, Momma and Poppa went to someplace where they got us green apples. Yummy. Cousin Kitty came over on Friday also. Carley likes kitties but Kitty, Sporkie and Tanner all hissed at her at some point so she tried to steer clear of them. At night we all slept together in our beds. Momma brought Carley's bed over but Carley preferred to sleep with us which was fine but I put my paw down and said no giving kisses at night - I'ze needs my beauty sleep. By the time that Carley's parents came to pick her up on Saturday we were exhausted and slept most of the day. We did play outside for a while with Momma and Poppa though. At night we got to experience a little taste of Jersey. Momma gave us some Italian Ice. It was good but I got major brain freeze. Kitty went home yesterday and now everyone is gone. We have no friends to play with. Momma and Poppa took us for a walk to cheer us up and then went out and returned with a new toys for us. But we won't be alone for long. Cole is coming over on Wednesday and will be here til Saturday - yea!! And t his weekend is Labor Day weekend which means that Poppa will be home and able to play with us for 3 days in a row. Also yesterday, Sporkie got her first batch of catnip from the garden. Apparently she likes it a lot because she's been taking hits constantly. She's pretty funny when she's high cause she rolls around and meows, then she passes out. hehehe.

SLUMBER PARTY

We've had a fantastic night tonight. We played with Scout, Cooper, Pasta (I'ze always think of Rosa when I see Pasta) and Carly. We'ze had so much fun playing today. But we have super exciting news. First, Cousin Kitty will be visiting us this weekend.... yea! Second as we were walking to to the park tonight, Carly's parents were walking over to our house. Apparently they are going to their son's college tomorrow and aren't back til Saturday morning. They'ze was wondering if we could go over and check on Carly and maybe walk her. Of course we can - not only is we going to walk her, we're just gonna have her stay with us. How exciting is that? Two friends sleeping over at once. And Cole comes over on Wednesday til Saturday. And Cousin Kitty may be over next weekend too. How cool is that!!! We'ze love having friends over!!!

Monday

We'ze had so much fun yesterday that I was exhausted when I got home from the park and couldn't write. First - Monte and I have met a lot of new pups via Dogster. Unfortunately none of them live close by. We found 13 pups that live in our neighborhood but many of them are small pups. We found a lab named Sage and sent her and email - we haven't heard back yet. - I'ze will keep you posted. We went to the park right after Momma got home from the gym yesterday. Normally, the mosquitos bite Momma pretty bad and she deals with it for as long as she can before we have to come home. Last night she wore bug spray. And while we know it's not healthy - we love her for it. We'ze were out there for about 2 hours. First we played with Kobe for a good while, then we walked around for a while, met some new people and went for a swim. On our way home we saw Carly again and we stopped to talk to her parents for a while. Carly got a haircut and I think she looks very pretty and it accentates her slim. I am pretty jealous of here size 2 figure. She definitely doesn't have junk in the trunk like I do. Carly can't seem to control her licker however - lick, lick, lick, lick, lick. I get tired just watching her. I think Monte and I got about 1,000 kisses from her yesterday and she would have kept going if we hadn't decided that we wanted dinner and pulled Momma and made her sprint home.

I don't like it

Look at what Poppa did to his face?
I'm not happy about it - luckily he still smells the same otherwise I'd never recognize him.

Just Got Back From Aunt Corey's

We played with Cole and Rocky for a little while. Poppa let us have left over green beans at dinner time. I hate them!!!! Monte ate them all - yuck!!! We love going over there because Maddy gives us lots of love. Now we're home and will be heading to bed soon. Uncle Gimme will be back tomorrow and maybe he'll have the deck complete in the next few days!! Yea!!

Today is National Homeless Animals Day

How great would it be to celebrate this day by adopting a deserving fuzzball? C’mon, you know you want to do it! Of course - only do this if you will be able to provide a loving an nurturing home for you new family member.

Poppa comes home tonight

we can't wait - we've missed him so much. Our neighbors know of 4 little puppies (2 yellow and 2 black) that need a home. Momma was going to bring them home but Poppa doesn't think she's insane. Momma would also be willing to upgrade to a minivan to cart us all around. And she'd get one of those belts that you can attach leashes to and take all of us to the park together.
Uncle Gimme thinks it's a wonderful idea - as do we! The more the merrier.

Momma's friend Sonja sent this

Don't Mess WIth My Momma

We'ze was at the park last night, having a good time, playing with other puppas when this little yellow lab puppy jumped on my Momma. WTF? I'ze not having any of that. I showed that snarl my Momma loves so much and told that puppy I'd have her for a snack if she didn't back off. See who says Goldens can't be guard dogs?

An Action Packed Weekend

On Friday night Momma and Poppa took us for what was supposed to be a short stroll through the park before going to the ice cream parlor and then they were heading to dinner and a movie. However, once we got to the park we met up with so many friends we ended up there for a couple of hours. We played with 3 other Goldens! Momma's convinced now that my future siblings need to be Goldens too. By the time we left the park, went to to the ice cream parlor and came back home it was after eight and Poppa was exhausted. Mission Accomplished. They didn't go out after all and we had them all to ourselves for the rest of the night. On Saturday night, Poppa's friends came over. We'ze never met them before. We really liked Aileen. We're not sure about Joe though. He's allergic to cats and we were once told that you should never trust people that are allergic to cats. Although Uncle Darth is allergic to us also and he's cool. We'll have to spend more time with Joe before we make a decision. Maybe is he brings his pups over to play the next time he comes over, we'll be sold on him. We also decided that since Kitty was here it would be a good time to celebrate Sporkie's birthday since we weren't able to on the actual day of because Poppa was on his diet. So we all had pink cupcakes. I love birthday - even more I love the cakes/sweets that come along with birthdays!! The weekend is winding down now. We slept in this morning and then Momma did some yardwork. Cousin Kitty will go home later tonight and Poppa will leave for the week tomorrow. The house will be quiet with just the five of us. Luckily Uncle Gimme will be here during the week to offer us lovins. Our deck should be done this week!! How exciting.

THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!!

Look at this! I'ze wants one (or 3) really bad!! Poppa doesn't think I needs it cause I can just see through the little cracks in fence, but this would give me a clear view thereby allowing me to better protect the homestead. Please post a comment - I'ze need help convincing Poppa. You hold the key to my future.

Home at Last

Aunt Corey dropped us off at home last night. A few hours later Momma and Poppa came home. They came home very late - almost 1AM. And we smothered them with kisses. Monte even through Poppa to the ground and pinned him til he had enough. Momma and Poppa said they had a really good time on their trip - we stayed up til about 2AM talking about it and gettin lovins'. Momma went to a program when she was in the Grand Canyon about bats and she learned a lot about them. Apparently bats live every where in the world except Antarctica and they play a very important role in our lives. You can even adopt a bat and the bat will write you a letter and send you a pic. We may do that. Here's some info. http://batcon.org/home/default.asp Sporkie and Tanner were happy to see Momma and Poppa too - Sporkie started screaming at the top of her lungs to be pet. Momma returned the affection by later locking her in the laundry room only to be awoken at 3AM by her screams. Sporkie says she'll let this one pass as she understands that It was late and Momma was tired. Uncle Gimme has been working on the deck. However there was a really bad storm on Saturday and the temporary supports didn't hold. Luckily the deck is fine, it just needs to be raised again and have the permanent supports put on. Uncle Gimme was also telling us the other day that he found a little sick hummingbird. We'ze not sure we believe him cause we'ze hasn't seen any. We'ze gonna refill our feeder again tomorrow.

Today's The Day!

Momma and Poppa are coming home today! We'ze so excited, we can't wait to see them! We just got icy cream from the truck, unfortunately there was a long line and we had to wait a while, but it was worth it! Aunt Corey was away yesterday, we don't understand why she didn't bring us because she smelled like dog when she got home so we know there was a dog there. (Hi Abby!) Uncle Crumley is not so great with remembering to take care of us so Brad took us out for a while yesterday. Aunt Ethel next door saw him bringing us back and thought it was the strangest thing she's seen! Luckily Lauren & Maddy like to let us out a lot, and Aunt Corey took us for a walk as soon as she got back this morning. Nothing much else going on, just walking & playing with Cole, trying not to get caught on the couch and hoping they drop food. We can't wait to go home tonight and see how our deck is looking - Aunt Corey thinks Uncle Gimme might have been there yesterday - A Saturday?? - and the a/c guy was there Friday night so we have high hopes for a cool house with a fun deck soon!
