The Puppy Express!!

I have a new Job!

Matthew is training me to be a Messenger Delivery Dog. He says that I am a Natural because I am already so good at finding people! He says that it will be just like the Pony Express except it will really be the Puppy Express!

Here we are getting ready for a delivery. Matthew is attaching a note to my collar for me to deliver to Mommy. She is upstairs and me and Matthew are downstairs. Mommy does not like it when Matthew stands at the bottom of the steps and hollers up to her, so now we can send her a note instead!

It's a loooong way up for a pup, but I know I can make it. I just hope that I don't encounter any hostile Indians along the way like they did on the Pony Express.

Just a few more steps and my mission will be accomplished.

Hooray for The Puppy Express!

The Happiest Day Of My Whole Entire Life!!!!

March 24, 2009 was the happiest day of my whole entire life!!! That is the day that my new big brother came to live with us. His name is Matthew and he is a Teenager. He came to visit us in January when it was still really cold outside. Then he went away and I wished and wished and wished that he would come back to visit us again. Instead, he came back to stay FOREVER!!!!!! That's what he says, anyway- he tells Mommy "Auntie (that's what he calls her) I am going to live in your house and eat all of your food for the rest of my life"!! Yaaayyyy!!!

(He DOES eat a lot- LOTS more than me).

I just love kids and I always wanted one to play with. Matthew plays with me and sometimes he takes me for walks. Sometimes the other dogs come with us, too. Matthew has his own room upstairs and I just follow him around all day long. I go up and down and up and down and up and down the stairs just to see what he is doing.

This is Matthew and me in our kitchen. You can see how I like to get really close to him and sit in his lap and he doesn't even care! We are going to have so much FUN now that Matthew is here!

Spatial Issues

Mommy says I have spatial issues. I don't know what that means, exactly, but I think it has something to do with me laying down on top of Digit. Digit doesn't really mind, though, because he is like a little gray dog and he likes to be part of our pack.

Snow Nose

It gets really, really cold here in Minnesota in the winter time. Sometimes when I go outside to play I get snow on my nose. This day it was so cold that even after I came back inside it took awhile for the snow on my nose to melt! Sometimes my nose turns all pink instead of black and it takes a long time for it to be black again.

Mommy And Me Make Our Debut!!!

Me and Mommy went on another adventure in January. We drove all the way back down to The Cities to dog show together for the first time! We left home on Friday even though the dog showing wasn't until Saturday. Mommy was worried that I might get carsick again and guess what? I did! But not as bad as the last time. Mommy did not feed me my supper until after the long drive, so even though my tummy hurt a little bit I did not throw up.

On Saturday when we dog showed we won Reserve Winner's Dog! Mommy was very nervous but we both did a good job anyway. Mommy said that it was okay that we did not win Best In Show because the dog that won Winner's Dog was very nice, too, and he was a lot older than me and has more dog showing experience. Mommy said we did GREAT for our first time dog showing together and she was very proud of me.

We did not do so good on Sunday because Mommy got too nervous and forgot what she was supposed to do. But that was okay because it was the very last day of pheasant hunting season and since we did not win at the dog show, we left really early so that we could get back home in time to go on our last hunt. But then, there was a horrible snow storm all the way home and it was really late and really, really cold by the time we got home so we did not hunt anyway. Too bad.

A Cold Morning

On cold mornings Mommy tucks us dogs back in after she gets up. Here I am with Argos, Digit, and Tsavo, all tucked in with our blankets.

Digit Likes To Cuddle Too!

Our cat Digit likes to cuddle, too. Here he is with me and Argos.
