Update.

Hey all you pups. Sorry I haven't been on in ages. Mommy and Daddy had to go to Louisiana because Daddy's grandmother was sick. I got to stay with my grandparents. Mac (our Yorkie brother) and I got along finally . . . or well for the most part. I was a good boy and got along famously with my grandmother. I love a warm lap!

As far as my "training" I have learned the concept of roll over, although I have trouble positioning myself for it and can't always follow through. Mommy keeps saying she is going to get the clicker out and start working on new tricks. Daddy had an injury and was on temporary disability so things have just been a little overwhelming lately. Anyway, I'm going to go pester Stormy. Will talk to you all later.

Hey All!

Not much has been going on. Been quiet. I've been surfing other blogs and found a website where you can enter contests to win prizes. Stormy decided to enter the Sleeping Beauty contest. She submitted a picture of herself a few years ago when she fell asleep with her head in the crook of an office chair trying to get as close to Mommy as she could. It really is cute. If you want please go vote for her. It would be cool if I could tell my friends my sister is famous. Thanks for listening!

Birthday Girl!

Sorry this took so long to get pictures edited and put together, but my big sister's birthday was June 21st. She turned SEVEN years old! She is getting soooooo old!

Anyway, because it was her birthday we did what she wanted to do! Such as . . .

. . . . RUN!

And. . . .

. . . and chase- er, I meant run with the goat sisters!

And we looked outside the fence, dreaming of all the places we could RUN!

I finally stole her party hat to chew it up and kill it (actually just needed a break in the shade from all the running).

Stormy chose to cool off by taking a swim in the goats water barrels.

Doesn't she look happy?

Mommy's Movie Making.

Okay Mommy has been messing around with a program called Microsoft Movie Maker and she wanted me to post the video she made on my website. It is called Month of March 2008 and it is about my very first month living here. I hope you enjoy it.

Had a Blast!

I had the best time ever over at my Mommy's parents' house. Unfortunately, being a forgetful human, Mommy forgot to bring the video camera. The first evening I spent harassing their Yorkshire Terrier. That night I slept on the futon with Mommy and Daddy.

The next day Daddy and Mommy's Daddy tore down a wall so that they could put in French doors. I got to go in and out of the house as I pleased. It was so much fun. I did great and never had a single accident. Then they took me out to the pond in the pasture. I swam in the water trying to eat the fish food they threw out, but unfortunately the catfish were biting my toes so I got out.

Then Daddy ran to the other side of the pond. I followed at full speed and decided to take a short cut. I bailed off into the deep end of the pond, thinking it was all one level like my wading pool. I went all of the way underwater and came up with water in my ears. I didn't go back in after that, but it was still fun.

That night as we were getting ready to leave Storm taught me how to kill a chicken. Mommy was extremely upset because Storm killed her favorite black hen. Her Daddy had been keeping this specific chicken until Mommy and Daddy could build a hen house. I had lots of fun killing the chicken. Don't know what Mommy was so upset about.

Then the next day we went to a nearby state park on top of a mountain. I met lots of people and looked off the edge of high cliffs. We saw eight deer. Some were walking alongside our car. Then we went to a friend's house and I played for a long time. Anyway, I am exhausted just thinking about it. Time for a long puppy nap.

Dog Day Out!

Hey pups! I have had the best day ever!! My Mommy and Daddy took me for a long walk. I had lots of fun. First Storm and I played . . .

And when Storm got tired I RAN!


And ran!
And ran some more!Once I burned off the main source of my energy I started hunting. For what you ask? I don't know for sure. Just something. Anything!

Then we went home and I played in the pool to cool off.


And now I am exhausted, soaked and very, very happy. That's all I have to report for today.

The Usual.

Not much has been going on. We have had beautiful weather and Mommy has been very busy with various things, so she hasn't really gotten the video camera out in a while. My trick training has also fallen on the wayside, but today she picked up the clicker again. I was doing my usual barking, because I know how much humans love my bark. For some reason she wouldn't click.

So I tried other things. My favorite is to lay down. I don't just lay down, I THROW myself down! Mommy clicked the down a few times. Eventually I noticed she was clicking when I put my head on the floor. We didn't get any really great results, because Mommy wanted to keep the session short, but she said we will do it again tomorrow. I got to play with my wonderful tennis toy. The one I only get to play with after training sessions, check out earlier post.

Anyway that is all for now. It is storming and I had my tail smashed in the door, so I am gonna sleep on the couch and pout. Bye!

    Thanks for the comments guys. Yes it was quite painful, but Mommy didn't mean to. And yes barking is my favorite trick!
