This is me SMILING!  Why you ask?   Because I have a knew friend.  You know the feeling of meeting someone new, enjoying getting to know them and finding out they are spunky and smell different, right? His name is Scuby.  Not the Doo one although he does love a snack just like me.  He is named after his owner's son who is a SCUBA diver in Florida.

Sarah and Scuby

Yes he is cute.  Jealous?   No, I am confident in my doggiehood. 

Ms. Debbie & Scuby

Besides Ms. Debbie, his owner, sends over extra treats to be shared.

 

 This was an odd moment, shaky ground and bad hair!

Great fun.  I was pooped though.  So I was glad to come in a snooze with my other favorite pal, Bo Bo.

Party

2!  4 ! 6!  8! 

What do we like!?! 

P..A..R..T..Y !!!   Yes a Fiesta. 

It was a great time snacks,games,laughing,and poodles. Well maybe not that last part and maybe I was not apart of it for long but well I was for a while! 

You all constantly have to have the truth don't you. 

Well anyway back to the party........ it was a nice day I remember it as if it were yesterday.... well maybe it was yesterday.  But any way I loose my train of thought with you people!! 

ANY WAY... It was a beautiful day and all the windows and the door were open, the mist of an after shower filled the air and the Jonas Brothers rocked the house. 

Then they came to our door and I was forced into my room, locked up, and the door slammed. 

I only got out until later. but I saw new faces, licked new hands, and smelled new people.  It was a grand time.  

Oh and here are the four main dog rules 1 Mark your territory 2 Love your owner 3 Get a poodle in your life bum!! And 4 Enjoy the party bug!! goodbye!!   

Today

Today is a very sweet relaxing day for me.I first stayed in bed until 9:00a.m. and had a very good sleep. Then I got up and had a bath. Mom bathed me and blow dried me. It has been exhausting. However I did  absolutely nothing what- so- ever. Now I am resting on the couch sitting with dad. While dad plays with caroline and annie plays on the Wii. Mom went on an outing with a friend and well we all need a little weekend break. Don't you agree?Anyway back to the important thing... Me.I need to say that over all this time that I did not write is because of the press and autographs and photos that have been taken because I am so cute. Did I also say handsome? If I did not then how dare I . Forgive me for not saying that I am cute . Well I had better go I have photos to take of me.  

Do they REALLY expect me to not chew on any of this?

I mean, come on, blue, shiny beads, smooth baby doll heads, tiny cotton socks.  All yum! And so enjoyable.

After all, I am only CANINE!

My family, I love them but this goes against every bit of my instinct.

I can be good while they are in the room.  But, boy 'o boy, wait til they walk away.  And they will..........

Valentines Day

Have you ever had someone say to you "right here and right now is love?"well right now as I was licking Sarah's feet that was true love.A. because my tongue can be very sloppy wet.B. cause Sarah's toes are some what disgusting but anyway I am a dog.  Ohh forgot in between the toes. Ahhh  got it ,that was perfect it hit  the spot . So  it's cold out ,annie is on the Wii. Mom is out, dad is tending to caroline and I am giving sarah her valentines gift. Now what could be better! You dogs should be jealous of me! I have owners that don't care if my heated tongue gets all over their stinky dry foot . I love this day though  unfortunately it may end here.  They are going on a little outing this after noon for a little valentines love to spread over some cheesecake. I am hoping that they will bring home leftovers. You know they get too full ,don't want to waste it and this is where I come into the picture.Jealous yet? well I do not think there is any more . There may be a warm lap time cause of a movie[scratching head]. Well I have more love to spread else where, so bye!

I am NOT a morning dog.  

They are "ruff, ruff"!  

I have to do a sun salutation stretch when I get out of my cozy kennel.  

The couch is too tempting to pass up.  Besides, Mommy always looks cold and in need of my body temp especially designed to warm empty laps.

Some mornings I have to scoot outside pretty quick, if you know what I mean.  Once I hit that cool, brisk morning air, I come to life and am ready for a day of scavenging for fallen grub, dress up,  and tug of war with my girls.

Days

Ahh today was a retreat for me.  

I was so confused during the weekend  I thought I was going to explode.  

First on Friday, Sarah, for some reason was leaving the house.  It was something called  a sleepover??  Weird holiday.  

Then I heard something about swimming and party.  Why??  She should not get wet during the middle of winter.  

And party??  Why do I not get to go???  Oh, I forgot I have hair all over me, a long tongue, curly hair on my ears, and a long stick like thing that wags when I am happy.  

In shorter words, I am a ...........F...R...E...A...K .  

That was so hard for me to say, cause,  well one look at me and you all are talking in a gushy voice, patting me on the head, and brushing me like there ain't no tomorrow.  You say I am weird. 

Then on Saturday,  Sarah was still gone,  I thought she would never come back!  

Finally she came home.  

On Sunday, she was sick.  So I laid with her during those long, hard hours on the couch. 

Recently, I was caught sitting on Mommy's chair in her bedroom watching Cinderella with Caroline. 

Eleven Inches of Snow

This is 11 inches of snow from my angle folks.  Talk about easy licking!

Let me just say.  I had fun today.  Yet, nine and in some places eleven inches of snow does pose some difficulties.

For starts, my

 morning "relief" was a bit baffling.  I wandered 

around with snow up to my ears trying to figure out how to raise my leg.

Then, I messed up.  Daddy wanted me to 

help shovel the driveway in the FRONT yard.  I was so honored.  But I blew it.  I couldn't help it.  This darn Spaniel nose of mine got me in trouble.  Before I knew it I had bounced over mounds of snow to Theo's yard.  I just wanted to visit my neighbor.  But...

.I couldn't stop there.  As I was going around the corner, I was scooped up. Those were not loving words Daddy had for me when he handed me to Mommy.

Then there were those snow dingle berries.  Stuck, just stuck.  And 

not in just the neck as shown in the photo people.  Only a warm bath will take care of those.  Don't get me wrong, Mommy gives me great baths but it is all the "No, your not going out now." that I do not like.

With all these minor inconvenience it was still a great day with my girls.  Max and McKenna came to the back yard to skate.  Annie tunneled under the swing seat with me.  Daddy and I watched the Court Kids play in the front yard.  Yes, I'll sleep well tonight with loving thoughts of my family.

I guess I am a UK fan now.  Caroline's jersey has been passed down to me.  It is much cozier than I expected.  That Annie, she does love to put shirts on me.  She just giggles and giggles as I prance around.  I really show off just to get her to laugh more.  

I suppose I can cheer Kentucky on.  After all it is Daddy's alma mater and he is my game pal.  I hear they aren't bad.

I am not much of a basketball fan.  The ball is always bouncing and the players hang so close to the ball.  Besides our goal is in the court and I am not allowed in front yard without a leash.

I prefer soccer.  It rolls across the lawn and sometimes is kicked far enough ahead that I can get to it first.  I really love it if the girls leave the 

ball outside.  I have my own game when they are not around. ;)

Relaxing

Ohh I am so tired. It has been a long day. First I got up and out of the kennel then I played around a while. Sarah played rope with me.  Daddy fed me, Mommy left the house because I was annoying. Caroline slept and Annie sat with Me. THEN......I got put BACK UP!!!! Why, what for?!? Ohh they where ditching me for the Barnes & Nobles FAMILY FUN DAY! Ahh I think that means all the FAMILY!!! You didn't bring ME!!! The most important FAMILY MEMBER!!! Then they went out to eat at a restaurant without me!!!! How could they!! Now I am out and sitting by Mommy's side. For now.....I am so cute. YES LOVE ME!!  Well at least they brought home a cool book with dogs in it.

Puppy sitting

What a day.  I have a new neighbor.  His name is Scooby and I've been dubbed as his role model.

Today we went over the basics, how to properly sniff at a greeting, rope tug-o-war and some relaxation techniques.  

Some things he'll just have to learn for himself, like how to be the perfect dress up pal.

What's a five letter word for......

Mommy and I enjoy sharpening our minds with the daily crossword puzzle.  After a day of in and out of the cold to go potty, chasing ropes, and getting caught with Polly Pockets in my mouth(but the bacon treats to give them up were worth it), I am glad to stimulate my brain on a higher level.

6 DEGREES OF FUN

6 degrees of fun today!  The cold hasn't scared me and my girls.  Annie was even out in her polka dot pajama pants and clogs for a while.  I don't know how she does it without a fur coat.

We slicked up the skating rink, I helped by licking the ice.  Slurpppp.  Tomorrow will be a smell filled day with neighbors and friends coming over to play.

Now I am going crazy wanting to chase those cozy little birds in the bush.  But Mommy is saying no.

Did I mention I got peanut butter from the Brendamellows?  Those are a treat dreamed up by Aunt Brenda in South Carolina.  It is a saltine cracker with peanut butter, marsh mellows, and chocolate chips.  Sure the whole things sounds great, but peanut butter..... If I were a yipee dog I'd be saying Yipee!

Snow much fun

I'm exhausted.  But for good reason. This is my favorite kind of day.  It is a snow day.  

I knew something great was about to happen when my girls started getting their snow gear on.  I can't help it, but my hind legs bounce uncontrollably at the sound of snow bibs.

Sarah lathered me in snow. A bit cool, but she is humored by my look.

Annie loves to roll on the trampoline . It tortures me that I cannot get up there too. 

Caroline is a pink blur.

We wrestled, we skated, we found warm love in a very cold windy day.  

Now I am zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I curl up in my bed tonight appreciating my family.  Last month I was not feeling this way.  They were busy with concerts, shopping, decorating, wrapping and traveling.  I was bored.  They were annoying me so I annoyed them.  I was bad.  I chewed on toys, begged for food, barked in the night and the lowest of lows, I plundered in the bathroom trash.  I am ashamed.

Mommy was not happy with me.  She even seemed glad to leave me with Grammy and Poppy over Christmas.

But somehow families love through the best and worst of times.  I feel forgiven.  

And I don't think it is with just me that they do this.  They do it with each other.  

For instance, today, I sensed disagreement between Mommy and Sarah.  But at dinner they still laughed together and at bedtime gave each other a hug and said "I love you" at the end of the day.

I'm not sure what the trouble was, I try to stay out of such things.  No matter though, because when the day is done....all is forgiven.

Through the best and worst of times, that is a family.

A Little More About Me

Where did we leave off....ahh, yes...about me.  I am quite entertaining.  I am even better than t.v.  The family likes to make me talk especially when they find me in a human-sitting position.  My accent is refined with a bit of an English flare.

When Mommy is sitting down, I lavish her with kisses on her freshly lotioned toes.  I am very affectionate.  I am.

Sarah's bedroom shoes make a perfect chew toy.  Unfortunately, the best moments with these happen to be when she is doing something she calls math.  I don't think she likes it much so I continue to try to pull her away from it.

Cold days make me spunky.  I looked forward to running Annie around on these days.  She's so cute when she giggles.

Caroline is my insider to forbidden snacks.  I simply park myself near her as she eats and wait for manna from heaven to fall.

Finally, the father.  I've had to work a bit on this relationship.  But he's coming around.  I win him over by sitting with him to watch football.

As you can see, I am an intricate piece in this family.  They depend on me for love, laughter and most of all 100 degrees of warmth.
