Yesterday was the best day ever!

A couple weeks ago, I hurt my paw.  So Daddy hasn't been letting me do much.  He still has stuff on the tables so I can't even jump on them to get away from Armada.  Its really not cool.  But yesterday, we went to Aunt Mamma's house to play!  It was a big celebration for Mommy Doodlebugs birthday (she is getting old but I won't tell her that because she will beat me....she is scary when she is mad)!!!

When we got to Aunt Mamma's, I could hear all my family but I was stuck in the fast moving box jail.  Armada was stuck with me so we were both barking a lot so that Mommy and Daddy didn't forget us.  After a little while, Daddy came over and let Armada out....Then he walked away and didn't let me go play?!?!?!  Seriously!!!!  That was not cool.  It seemed like forever until Daddy finally came back for me.  He ran up to the pond with me, and Armada and Caly were there.  YAY, I get to play! 

I immediately jumped in to the pond.  Daddy likes to play this game with me where he throws one of my bumpers in the water and I swim out and get it for him.  Its a lot of fun and it makes him happy.  I just wish Armada would stop trying to take my bumper when I get close to the shore.  Its my job to give it to Daddy!  Then I just ran around.  I like to carry my bumper.  That way I have it whenever Daddy wants to play again.  While I was running around the pond, I saw something out of the corner of my eye.  It was the weirdest looking dogs I have ever seen.  They have big bodies and very small necks and heads.  I don't see how they can carry a bumper with heads that small.  But I wanted to play with them so I dropped my bumper and jumped in the water to go meet them.  They just swam away!  I swam faster than them so I figured I would just catch up and we play.  Then the weirdest thing ever happened.  They can swim...ABOVE THE WATER!  That has to be the coolest trick EVER.  Once they got to the other side of the pond, they started swimming like normal again.  I assumed they were just afraid of me, so I went to the edge of the pond and ran to the other side and tried to swim to them again.  They swam above the water again to the other side!  After a while, I got tired of trying to play with them.  I don't understand why they had to be so rude.

While running around some more with Caly and Armada, I heard the others down at the house.  We ran down to meet them and timed it perfectly while the other pups were finishing showers.  Daddy put a leash on me and we waited for my turn.  I have to wear a leash sometimes because Uncle Indy and I got in to an argument over a bumper last year.  We aren't allowed to play together right now.  After my shower, I got to run around in the yard some.  Then we played some games where I had to find a treat under a bucket and a bunch of others.  It was so much fun!  Once all of us did our tricks, we got really good birthday ice cream.  Armada ate his really fast and then tried to take mine.  I am glad Daddy was there to keep him from stealing mine.

We ended the day heading back home and Mommy Doodlebug got to come with us!  We were all very tired so we just cuddled and rested the rest of the evening.

Chow!

The past few days have been the most boring days ever.....

Daddy won't play with me and he put all kinds of things up on all the tables, so I can't even get onto my favorite places to nap. Maybe Daddy is mad at me because he keeps putting me in jail every time he leaves and he's not playing with me. I wonder if he's mad because I was ouchie on Sunday when he got home. Not only that, but Daddy keeps taking Armada places and leaving me at home. I try to protest by barking, but he doesn't seem to care. Then Armada comes home and he tells me all the fun stuff he got to do. He's played agility with Mommy twice this week!!! 

Daddy has been letting me help wake up Mommy in the mornings, and that might be my most favorite part of the day now. This morning, I made sure I laid right on top of Mommy! I'm hoping she'll take the hint and let me and Armada sleep in the comfy bed tonight!

I'm hoping Daddy stops being mad at me soon, so we can play together again.

CHOW!

This was the worst week ever.  :(

That about sums it up. 

Last week was already pretty rough.  Mommy Doodlebug was over visiting at the beginning of the week and she was not feeling very good.  She had potty accidents in the house and it smelled so bad.  Mommy's birthday was last week and for her birthday, she wanted to take Me, Armada and Mommy Doodlebug to play agility with Daddy and her friend Angela.  For some reason she was very late getting home to get us and then Daddy took Mommy Doodlebug without us.  Later I noticed Mommy's fast moving crate had weird cracks in it and she was talking about being sore.  I am glad she is ok.

The day after that, Armada started not feeling good.  Fortunately, he kept telling Mommy when he didn't feel good and she let him go outside.  Then, Mommy and Daddy took off with Bandit and Balta's parents and didn't come back for days!  I don't know where they went to but I sure missed them cause I started getting sick and I just wanted to cuddle them.  I had an accident in the house like Mommy Doodlebug did.  Fortunately, Aunt Chrissy and the kid were there to help clean it up.  I heard Aunt Chrissy say it was a really big mess.  I felt bad. 

On my way to my crate, I slid and hurt my leg.  It hurt a lot so I just laid in my crate the rest of the night.  The next day, the kid carried me outside to potty but I still hurt too much so I just stood there until he carried me back.  I really missed Mommy and Daddy.  Later Aunt Marta came to check on me.  I was able to move some.  It hurt but I was able to force myself to sniff her butt.  When Mommy and Daddy finally got home, Mommy gave me a treat that made the pain much less while Daddy cuddled me.  I was sooooo glad they were home.  Sadly, they made me stay in my crate most of the time.

Today, Daddy took me to see some new people.  One of them did very weird petting on my legs.  It was kind of like when I was in the ring with Mommy Sabrina except it hurt a lot more.  Then one of my new friends took me to another room and gave me lots of treats while they took pictures.  She was very nice.  When she took me back to Daddy, she kept asking where Daddy was.  Then she laughed at me because I didn't go to him.  Jokes on her though, I knew she had more treats and Daddy didn't  Then she gave me more treats while waiting for my other new friend to come back.  I heard him talk to Daddy for a bit and say that I have to rest for 2 weeks.  I am not sure what that means but it sounds REALLY bad.  After they finished talking, Daddy gave me another one of the treats that makes the pain go away and took me home.  Daddy said I have to spend most of today in my crate.

So, in the past week, I didn't get to play agility. I didn't get to go running with Daddy.  I got sick and made a mess in the house.  Then I hurt my paw.  Its not been a good week at all.

Yesterday was the best day ever!

I am not sure what is going on with Daddy but he has been taking me and Armada on a lot of runs lately.  It has been so much fun!  And we get to go to different places too.

A couple days ago, Mommy and Daddy took me and Armada on a hike.  It started out like normal.  Daddy put my long leash on so I can run around some and Mommy had Armada.  We started out the trail and then it got unfair.  Mommy took Armadas leash off and he got to roam around free.  I am glad Daddy has a long leash for me.  At least I can move around some.  We got to our first stop which is a watering hole and Mommy played the Come game with Armada.  He ran a LONG ways to her.  When Mommy got closer, Daddy took me off leash!  I didn't know what to do!  It was crazy.  Armada and I ran around all over the place for a few minutes.  Then Daddy put me back on leash.  He said I was still a little too crazy.

After getting leashed up, we went on up the hill.  Its a very steep hill and takes a while to get to the top.  Daddy got to the top with me and Armada and then Armada went back down the hill to walk with Mommy the rest of the way up.  We got to jog some to our next stop and the most amazing thing happened.  Mommy put Armada on his leash!  AND DADDY TOOK MINE OFF!!!!  I ran around for a bit again but I wasnt as crazy as the first time.  Every time I would get away from Daddy, he would holler at me to come back.  I didnt mind though because he gave me treats each time I did.  We did this for what seemed like forever before Daddy put my leash back on!  Mommy said it was half a mile.  That must be a long ways.  We walked for a while longer and then Daddy took my leash off again!  I decided to do something different this time.  Every time I came back to Daddy last time, he gave me treats.  Maybe if I don't leave, I will get more treats?  Well, I was right.  I walked right beside Daddy the entire time I was off leash and he kept giving me treats and telling me I was a good boy.  I know I am a good boy but I like it when he tells me.

We got back to the house later and Mommy fed us dinner that included raw chicken thighs!  Its hard to beat a day like this.  Me and Armada then cuddled with Mommy and Daddy for the rest of the night before bed.  And to end the night perfectly, Me and Armada got to sleep with Mommy and Daddy. 

Best day ever! CHOW!
