Panic Alert

Momma was heading out yesterday and did her normal four legged baby head count when she couldn't find Sporkie. Momma searched the entire house - closets, under the bed, in the tub, in the crawl space - no sign of her. Monte and me was looking for her too - we don't want anything bad to happen to our sister otherwise who would smack us around? Also, Momma said she'd give a bone to who ever found her. Tanner wasn't interested in helping. He said with her gone that mena more food for him. The second Momma stepped of the front steps of the house and started calling out to Sporkie she came over from the side of the house. What a relief - our sister is home unharmed and there were treat for everyone.

My Very Own Pumpkin Patch

these are the tiny little pumpkins that are pictured in my June 26th post. I hope that I have lots of pumpkins so that I can have my very own Great Pumpkin this year.

I think they'll grow tons! They still have 3 months to grow and I know I grew tons in 3 months!

Sleepy Sunday Morning

A Golden Party

Momma took us to the park really early today cause it's gonna be another hot one. As we walked along we met up with Frank and Maggie. frank was trying to act all tough with the other pups until Monte went up to him and then he calmed right down again. We kept walking and ran into Cooper and Sandy and played with them for a while. Cooper was being a bit antisocial sitting in the shade chewing on a stick. He finally came around. Then Kobe was going for a drive with his Dad when they spotted us and stopped to play too. We'ze was exhausted by the time we got home. And Momma says I am really stinky and getting a bath today!! I HATE BATHS!!!

It's the weekend

Poppa's home today. The new kitchen is coming along. He's layed most of the tile. The electrical got done today and the sheetrock guy will be here Monday. Yippee!

Happy Birthday Jean!

It was a busy weekend

Poppa did a lot of work in our kitchen this weekend. He tore down the walls, took out all the cabinets, pulled up the floor and started laying the new tile. The new floor is looking nice but my belly has paid the price. With him being so busy he hasn't had as much time as usual to give me pettins'. I'ze not complaining though. I went for three rides with Momma on Saturday as well as going to the park Saturday and Sunday and getting rawhides. :-)

Poppa's Away

Uncle Scott and Aunt Jen stayed over last night. They went home today at the same time that Poppa left for the airport today. At first I'ze was experiencing some empty nest syndrome - all these hands to pet me and now I was left with only two! And Momma was telling me how she still needed to pet Monte, Sporkie and Tanner. I can't wait for Poppa to get back and have an extra set of hands available. Momma told Poppa this morning that she had a dream last night that she went to visit my Canine parents and they had more puppies and she was planning to get two. She's not sure how the dream ended because Sporkie woke her out of her dead sleep. We think Sporkie could somehow tell what Momma was dreaming about and was thinking "Hell No - no more dogs!!" Well, it's bedtime and we miss Poppa but we're feeling better cause we're all sleeping in bed tonight. :-)

This week's wrap-up

I'm just now finding a little bit of time to blog about my week - it's been action packed hence the no time to blog. I spent Monday and Tuesday recovering from all the weekend's excitement. Finally on Wednesday, I was ready for action. First my friend Kobe came over for a playdate - that was fun. We met Kobe at the park - he's name after Kobe Bryant but much cuter. Later the same day Cole came over - she was sleeping over cause her Mom and Dad went to the shore for a few days. On Wednesday afternoon we were all sitting in the living room when my brother heard a noise on the deck and went to check it out. He started growling and Momma told him to leave the poor bunny alone. Momma assumed there was bunny in the yard cause they really like our yard. Monte kept growling so Momma went out to the sunroom to talk to Monte when she realized Monte was growling cause Kitty was outside - oh my!!! Get in here Kitty. She must have sneaked out on of the time that me, my brother or Cole were going outside. A similar situation occurred on Thursday, except when Momma went to look outside, there was a raccoon knocking to come in the door. I think he must have known that this is the house where you can get good eats and good lovins'. Cole went home on Friday. Yesterday night Frank and Maggie came over. My brother and I were at the park when Frank and Maggie arrived. Momma tried to take F&M for a walk except Maggie has a different idea. She didn't want to go to the park, she wanted to go home instead. While Momma was outside trying to get them to the park, we came home and met up with them on the street in front of our neighbor's house. The neighbors were out too and we were all talking, when Maggie wiggled out of her harness. Four adults tried to close in on her but she kept running around all the adults and leading the adults on a wild chase. It was pretty funny but Momma didn't think so. Well Maggie finally took off and can you believe that she ended up back at her house???? Luckily she lives close by! Momma chased her for blocks til she lost sight of her. Then Poppa drove up and so did our neighbor. Momma drove over to Maggie's house to tell her Momma what was going on and Maggie's' mom was standing outside her house holding Maggie in her arms. In hindsight it was pretty funny but at the time it was happening, it was not funny at all. It was an all out panic!!! Momma took Frank back home last night and their Mom brought them back this morning. So F&M have been here all day and no escapes yet! On a sad note, Kitty went home today. While I'ze know it was time, I'ze gonna miss stealing her food. Tomorrow the fun continues... Ditz and Jen are coming over - we'ze can't wait to get pettins from them!

July 1, 2008 Update

If you go back and read this post, my friend Scout's Dad told me that he knew another Golden named Sunshine who lived just around the corner from me. Well last night I was playing on the front lawn with my brother and Katie when a Golden came walking up the street with her Momma. When I asked her named she said it was Sunshine. I couldn't believe it. Finally, I met the other Sunshine. She's cute but my Momma says I'm cuter. :-)

Happy 4th of July

We'ze had a good day today. Mostly because it's Saturday and day #2 of Poppa's 3 day weekend with us.

We'ze went to Carley's house for a little while this morning and again tonight. And we went back tonight and Carley's Poppa let us have some fillet of tuna. yummy! I'd never had that before - it was de-lish. But don't tell Momma - she doesn't know. Carley's Poppa snuck it to us.

We also went to Aunt Corey's today. Uncle Scott was passed out most of the time. He's got a wicked sunburn.... it's not good being as pasty as him. Monte spent most of the time at Aunt Corey's looking out the window in the front door. Momma's thinking about changing our front door so Monte can have the same thing at our house. The fireworks tonight kinda scared us so I think we'ze gonna get to sleep in bed tonight.

It's Sporkie's Birthday

Blackout

We'ze sitting out on the black (back) deck. We'ze been in the dark for almost an hour now. It's kinda cool. I'ze never experienced a blackout before. (I have experienced an earthquake though). Momma decided that since there was no power she needed to drink her bottle of sangria before it got warm. She's almost done. I'ze took a video of the darkness. I'll post it later when the power is back. In the meantime I will just hang out here on the deck with Momma, Poppa, my brother and the fireflies. Poppa called Uncle Darth. I'ze really hopin' he comes to visit soon.
