"Crappy" Saturday last week

OMG last Saturday I did not know what was going on. I had the poops!!! EVERYWHERE, EVERY FEW MINUTES.....ummm I think I ate something I should not have. Mum had to wash the floor so many times..I felt bad but had no thought of it at the time. Well it was in the car and to the vets. He was very nice when he first came in. Then as the time past he had this big cotton swab~you guessed it up my butt. This is exit only so what was he thinking!!! I screamed loud. He was getting a swab and testing me for parvo. Thank goodness I did not have it!!! Then again he came at me again to take my temp. This was not an oral temp taker...so we know that I screamed again and again. So he took me in the back, gave me a couple shots. My pawrents could not come with me and I had no one to comfort me. He sent me home with antibiotics......AND YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET THOSE DOWN MY THROAT....NOT!!! The fight is on trying to get me to take those....I freak freak freak. If it isn't food I'm so not doing it! I'm feeling better now, I was after the vet trip cuz we went to North Bend and I had no more problems. :)

ITCHY......

Why am I so friggin itchy? I have my own views on this but the vet will tell me why on Wednesday.....I've even vomitted cuz it makes me crazy. I'm either allergic to Taz's food which I mentioned before that I sneak...guess there is a good reason why I should not eat it! Or....I picked up some kind of bug when we were trapsing around this summer. Well last weekend was alot of fun in North Bend. I got lazy time in the yard, chilled in the house and somehow managed to wrangle some people food out of everyone. The concert was amazing, I even got to go into the beer gardens and did not get IDed. Did not like the smells in there at all. Had to sit on Dad's lap most of the time as Mum was up dancing a storm with Caroline. But everyone that I did visit was very sociable. The guy in front of us was alone and I kept smelling his arm...then he would turn and smile at me...is this the way to pick up guys?? Taz and Elliott had to stay home, one too young for the beer gardens and the other one just not interested. Quite weekend for the 3 of us this weekend...Mum and Dad have lots of plans but not me :(

Got a waddle...........

Nina Maxwell was relaxing in her luxurious claw footed bathtub listening to the drip of the leaky facet that she had been procrastinating on calling the plumber in to repair. She enjoyed the quiet life right now after the scandal had occurred. Just thinking about it now made her heart skip a beat and the butterflies were still flying in her chest. Sinking lower and lower into the scented waters she let it engulf her as she thought back of the life she had led and what had brought her to this point in her life.

WOW WOW WOW..........wrong story line!! That is the other story I'm writing, OK not me, Mum is. Just wanted to say that thank goodness I was out for 2 long walks today with Mum.....I am starting to waddle....The extra snacks, ice cream and lack of walks is started to see the love handles come on. I passed by the mirror in the bedroom this morning and had to do a double take!! Even with my black coat, which of course is slimming I see a bit of extra weight on me now. My knees are going to collapse if I keep indulging in this lazy life. And who the heck wants back fat!!!! Not me!! Walk on, watch the icecream and be thankful for the cooler weather for my walks.

Dog Day Afternoon

Well the weather is a bit warm today, but not to bad at all. Taz is chillaxing in the backyard, I'm on the arm of the couch (well duh not right now as i'm pawing at the keyboard) and Elliott is in the exercise pen sleeping in the air conditioned kitchen. Not much new, Mum's day off today so I'm almost certain we will go for a nice walk when it cools down tonite. Dad will be home from work in a few hours so snuggle time. I hear we are going away again this weekend and there is a concert in Boston Bar so I'll get to go with my pawrents, can't wait. I love watching all the people there and last time there was a concert the guy that was doing Rod Stewart sang to me............OMG the spot light was on me, everyone turned to look and he was singing Hot Legs to me....I was lapping it all up. Mum got a crazy idea that she is going to make sleeping bags for me and Elliott for camping season next year. I can't wait!!! Guess I will have something pink and Elliott will be camouflage or something with fish on it........I guess it is a guy thing. And I've got a secret................................someone we know is getting a puppy in September, a Golden Retriever. Ha guess they won't be using the little poop bags like us..................can we say industrial size garbage bags? Can't wait to meet her............smiles :) Don't think though that she will make pretty clothes for the puppy our friends are getting cuz it would just look silly cuz she only makes small clothes. She makes all my clothes!!!! Gotta love my Mum xoxox

Play them for FOOLS

Well I haven't been eating much since I got home. So they think I'm not anyways.....not my food but everyone elses food. Now that I can go out in the backyard again and play with Taz I take every oportunity when no one is looking to scarf down his food. I sit there all pretty as I am and as soon as my parents back is turned I creap in to the food dish and take a mouthfull. Dad and Mum have even tried to hand feed me my food, which I absolutely love but I keep turning them down and this is the reason why. I'm pretty smart at all this! When I want water when we are traveling I grab the water bottle that they drink from and I drink from it too so I have them outsmarted in alot of ways. It sure is nice to be home though after being away for a couple weeks. Back into a routine. I know both my parents are going to be tired tonite as they both go back to work today.................oh the goodlife that Taz, myself and Elliott have! It's a dogs life.

The 2nd Week

Finally out of Mosquitoville!!! I had to bundle all up and look like ET sitting in the chair just to keep the bugs off me! And smell like I came out of a dryer as Mum kept all three of us tied up with Downy sheets all over us just to try to keep those dam bugs off us. The road coming out of Ross Lake was really rough and from what I've heard it was similar to a roller coaster ride. But leaving was a good thing cuz those bugs were bad bad bad. I got bit in the butt end and everyone thought I got a hemorrhoid from screaming when I could not see Mum but was just a bite. So our driving to the next location, Chain Lake begins. We had to stop in Manning Park for a pee break and that was welcomed by all three of us. It took me forever though cuz there was so much to explore with the Goffer Holes. After we got back in the truck Elliott started wining ab out snacks!! Can you believe that guy...calls me the cry baby and look who is talking. Dad had to pull over and get us all some food. He is such a glutton that my parents had to stop earlier as he ate his two weeks allotment of dog food in one week. You should see the size of his paws!!! He will probably be bigger than me. And we could not get his kind of dog food in Hope so they had to switch him....good thing that we had 150 baggies packed with us as a change of dog food in a puppy takes awhile for the stomach to get use to it. His wait seems to be a bit of a problem....on the way to Chain Lake he moved around too much and toppled over his kennel and he was ass over tea kettle in the back seat narrowly missing Taz. Chain Lake turned out to be another experience~HAIR RAISING. It was windy there, good thing that I don't have a layered cut like Mum as I don't generally use any styling products and would of been a real mess. Dad went fishing in his Pontoon boat and was blown all over. Good thing he had a little motor on it to come back to us. I wish I had a snuggy like Cristy & Gregory do cuz I would have been so snuggy...although Dad gave me his coat and I spent the days under that in the wind. I have figured out that picnic tables and fire pits are a great place for finding food. And tell me what is wrong with eating a half a rotten wiener???? Just when I get it in the mouth there is Mum with her fingers down my throat digging it out. The weather at Chain Lake wasn't the best so it was off to Alleyn Lake. Oh it was so beautiful there. I loved playing on the beach but when it was time to get a drink I walked to the water.....THE TERROR SET IN, MY EYES POPPED OUT, MY HEART WAS BEATING OUT OF MY CHEST....ADAVAN PLEASE!!!! There was quicksand.....I suck up to my chest in mud................I FREAKED.......finally I got a clear head and figured out that I was going to be ok and got myself out of it. I did a case of mistaken identity too when we were there.........the man was walking out of the water, neoprene on, fish cat boat like Dads and he was walking away past our campsite..........ok I started to scream again...Dad come back, where are you going...please I won't walk in the mud again....but he kept going. Mum had to call to Dad in the water to call me so that I would know it wasn't him. Oh what a relief it was that he wasn't walking out on us! Then after a good sleep with the Breath Right Nasal Strips passed around by Taz we were off to North Bend. Oh I liked it there much better this time, think I am getting comfortable now there and know that it is a safe place. Had a great two nights there and Travis my big big brother from Armstrong came and spent the night there with us too. It was so nice to see him. Now I am at home and we are all tired but glad to be home. Home Sweet Home. Tomorrow I hear that we are having a family dinner for Travis as he is here again...what a surprise it was!!

My First Vacation

Let me tell you about my first camping experience...Mum. Dad, Taz, Olivia and I went to Ross Lake...Oh my goodness what a long drive! When we got there my crib was set up for me, people thought that there was a real baby in it. Duh, what do they think that my parents would leave a real baby outside?? No, just little me~they were never far away at all...Mum was a worry wart about taking me camping as I was still very young when we left cuz I was only born on June 9th. It was pretty hot there and I got some experience doing the dog paddle in the lake, was a bit scared at first but was alot of fun and my big sister Olivia was able to show me the ropes on that...she has a life jacket though and I'm still too small for one to fit so guess got to wait till next year. To help keep us cool too the generator was running when it was really hot and Olivia and I had fans on us, boy do we have them wrapped around our fingers! Well I learned that Olivia is a screamer when she cant see Mum. She doesn't wine, doesn't whimper but lets out this god awful scream and it is loud and so annoying. Cry Baby, Cry Baby...Bernice the lady that was camping beside us heard her screaming and dropped everything and came running thinking something horrible was going on. She was not sure at all what the commotion was all about. Olivia could of won an academy award for the leading lady in a horror movie!! OMG the Mosquitoes were so bad at Ross Lake, good thing that we had a nice enclosed bug tent that was netted to protect us. The early morning and the evenings were the worst time for the mosquitoes. I have no love for them, have no clue even why they are on this earth! During the days I played in my crib, had my walks and playtime and lots of cuddles. Opps I bit Bernices lip too and made her bleed...felt bad but hey what are these puppy teeth for besides a good bite! I've gotten really good at nite wining to let my parents know I've got to get out for my bathroom break~oh the outhouse!! Even one morning I woke them up at 2:20 am to go for my poop...dad was too scared to go outside so my Mum had to get dressed and take me out with the bears! We3ll after a week at Ross Lake we moved on out of Mosquitoville to Chain Lake, Olivia can tell you about the next 1/2 of our holiday.

My Vacation

As the senior citizen, about 16 years old, I too should have a say in this blog!!! I love to camp. My family found me many years ago in a campsite near Williams Lake, they have loved me from the moment they layed eyes on me. I love to camp like I say and the older I get the lazier I get just chillaxing with the fam. Now that it is harder for me to get in and out of the truck and trailer my Dad built me a ramp to get in with. It is great. I still love my water time swimming for sticks in the lake, I may be a bit slower and locating them and not so brave going deep anymore but all in all it is still a relaxing way to cool down. Although my vision and hearing is fading, I still hear what is important to me. Unlike the pug crew, I have free range of the trailer at night - 3 dog nite! The 2 black beetles are in their kennels at night and between them and mum, it would make a great advertisement for Breath Right Nasal Strips!!! The real thing I miss when camping is the lawn in our backyard and my dog house. All in all though there is no better way to spend some quality time with the whole dam fam than camping!!

Weekend/Weeks off!!

Well today was exciting, lots to do and visitors over again and Mum and Dad are busy doing all kinds of things before we go camping!!! The pee pads are packed for Elliott and Dad bought a crib the other day for him as it was cheaper than buying another excerise pen. He used his saw and cut off the legs!!! Wow what a great saver Dad is. Well we hung out in the back yard today for a bit. Elliott only goes poop out with Cristy in the front yard and he really doesn't have the hang of the puppy pads to poop on yet........grrrrr. It will come, it took me a long time to do it. Mum & Dad took him to the vets again as they are concerned about his breathing through his mouth and thought maybe he has pallet problems but the vet said no. I sure hope he is right. Well Gregory came home today! I was so excited to see him, although he has changed in appearance! . He has this beard that is so long it is like there is another head of hair on his face!! Or perhaps a wild animal that curled up to him when he was gone on tour.......Part of it is gone tonite...jus the middle part of it. Oh but I was so excited to see him. Mum & Dad's friends came over too, Paul & Carolyn, I really like Paul....oppsy....once I mistaken him for dad.....think dad was a bit sad about that one! They kinda look the same when the sun is in my eyes....well off to camping tomorrow so catch you in 2 weeks!!! Stay cool. Love Olivia..Elliott should be able to have an opinion and a say on here when we get home cuz he will be that much older and wiser! That is a picture of Elliott resting after the vets! The first picture is ME!
