Everybody's Busy

Dad was working on the yard this moring and I helped a little bit and now he's working on the Big Jeep. Mom's been on the computer all morning getting her art stuff on. She took a break so I thought I'd jump in real quick and post something.
I really hope Dad gets the Big Jeep fixed. I heard him tell Mom to ask Aunt Nikki if she can come stay with me just in case he can't get the Jeep fixed. I really don't want to stay home that weekend! That's why I'm not whining to go outside. I know he's working really hard so I can go and I don't want to bother him. It's also way too hot outside for a black dog!
Mom has gotten a lot of her art stuff done. You'll have to check it out! Her artwork is on http://www.HilarysDesigns.bravehost.com and she's putting stuff on merchandise on http://www.cafepress.com/HilarysDesigns (that's also where you can buy Wheelin stuff). She's been working on a rooster all morning. We have the original hangining in our living room and I'm glad he's up high so I don't see him all the time. He kind of gives me the creeps. I think he would look better in the kitchen than the living room, don't you think? Be sure to leave Mom some good comments about her art work so she won't get frustrated and stop working on it. She has some REALLY cool stuff she's hoping to get done tomorrow!
I better let her have the computer back so she can get back to work.

I Don't Like Lightning

Sorry I haven't posted in over a week. There's been lightning and thunder every day and I know I'm not supposed to turn the computer on if there's lightning. It's okay though, if there's lightning that means there's thunder and I don't like the thunder. I'm usually okay with loud noises (especially guns) but there's something about the thunder that I really don't like, especially in the computer room because there's a big sliding glass door that vibrates when the thunder hits.
I've been helping Mom get her artwork ready to show everybody. She got most of the pictures taken and a few ready fro prints. She's hoping to get a bunch done this weekend. I'll help Dad in the garage this weekend though so we can try to get the Big Jeep ready for the trip. I'll let you know when Mom has her stuff on her website.

I'm Bored

I'm very very very bored. I'm being good though. Mom comes home pretty soon. I hope she gets home before it starts raining. I really need to go potty and I hate going in the rain. The clouds out the front window are really dark and once in awhile there's that flash of light that scares Gunnar. hehehehe, what a dork! He's upset because neither Mom or Dad came home for lunch so now he thinks he's starving to death. I keep telling him not to worry because he has a big enough belly, he can wait until Mom gets home in 15 minutes. He's really grumpy when he gets hungry.
Mom and Dad were talking about the trip. They bought some little hook thing to keep me in the tent. I still don't get why I can't get out and run around like I did last time. I waited until I heard Chuck outside making his cofee. We had a blast in the morning. Now I'll have to wait until Mom or Dad decided to get up before I can go run around. The good thing is, Mom waits until the last minute before she gets out of bed camping because she doesn't want her butt to get cold when she goes to pee. BUT, if I jump up and try to get Dad up and sit on her bladder just right. She gets up fast. I'm nice though and go with her to protect her while she's peeing. Dad thinks it's hilarious and gets up to cook me some bacon for breakfast. I can't wait!!!

I'm Back!

I thought I better get on really quick and let you know that I'm not grounded anymore. I was is in really big trouble! I got into something of Dad's I shouldn't have. I took the pieces out of the package and left them on the floor next to his chair and only chewed on the package, but I still got in big trouble even though the pieces are ok. As soon as Mom came home I felt bad and tried to say I was sorry. I've been doing a lot of sucking up lately so they let me be ungrounded a little early. I can guarantee I will never mess with anything that looks like that thing ever again! I hate beng grounded. It's really boring and Sasha and Gunnar tease me all day. I'm going to go stretch out on the couch now and take a good nap. Thanks to everybody that e-mailed me and told me they missed me. Knowing all of you missed me will hopefully remind me to be good for now on. Dad also said if I was that bad again I couldn't go camping in August! So I'm going to be doing some more sucking up for the next few weeks to make sure I get to go.

Sasha Leaving A Message For Kaos

Kaos wanted me to let you know that she will not be able to blog for awhile. She got into something of Dad's she wasn't supposed to and is grounded BIG time. I think Mom said 2 weeks! She's never been grounded that long before! Usually just a week. She'll try to check in when she can, but since she's locked up I guess I'll have to update once in awhile for her.
I'm going to go stand in front of the kennel and make fun of her now.

More Rain

It rained again last night. All the water was almost gone and then it rained. The huge puddle is back and I still can't go run in my yard. The only reason I'm being patient about it is because Mom and Dad keep saying it will help with the grass that they are trying to grow in the back. I love grass and can't wait to have it in my yard, but it's starting to get very annoying. I spend a lot of time following Mom around the house now instead of out playing. When she came home for lunch I went outside and laid on the porch and looked at the mud. Then wehne she came home from work I was going to do the same thing but when she let me out I got hit in the face with rain and went back inside. Stupid rain! I haven't seem my ball and stick in forever and I'm starting to worry about them a little. I hope they didn't float away and some other dog is playing with them now. I'm going to go take a nap now.

I Couldn't Help It!

It has been raining for days and days and days. I've been really good about not going through the big mess in the back yard, but I couldn't help it!! I wanted to run through the yard and I haven't been over to the fence to say hi to Lucky (my neighbr friend) in forever! I only ran through it 2 times and Dad said I was bad, but he was laughing at me so I wasn't relly worried about it. I stood as still as I could while he dried me off. I didn't get to climb up on the bed with Mom while Dad took a shower though. It was worth it! Mom took a picture of our backyard.

This morning Dad noticed that there is grass coming up finally so hopefully next summer I'll finally have my grass to play in. Dad worked really hard at trying to get the grass to grow this year but it didn't rain for a long long time and now it's raining a lot! I'm getting tired of the rain, but Dad says we needed it really bad, just not all at the same time. It's sunny today so maybe the mud will finally go away and I can go play in my yard!

Sleepy

I'm really sleepy today. Mom didn't sleep well last night and she kept all of us awake last night. Gunnar finally went and slept somewhere else because he was so annoyed. I really hope she sleeps better tonight.
The backyard is still bad. I have a bigger area to run around, but I can't do a full perimater check because there are still a few really nasty places in the yard. It didn't rain last night so maybe the yard will be a little dryer so I can go outside more this weekend. I am going to make Mom take the pictures of her artwork this weekend. She's been putting it off too long and I really want to show you guys how cool it is.
I also wanted to thank all of you that are buygin stuff from Mom and Dad's merchandise shop. Keep buying so Dad can get the Big Jeep fixed. He says everything else he has parts for, he just needs transmission stuff now. Dad siad they are going to do the Holy Cross trip in August and I might still get to go even if we can't take the Big Jeep. I hope so, but just in case please help us get the new transmission!! After Mom gets her stuff ready to make prints she'll get more stuff ready for the merchandise, too. I can't wait to show you her stuff! Hopefully Monday she'll have stuff ready to show you!
I'm going to go take a nap now. Dad's off today, but it's no fun to be out with him because of the mud. Mom should be home for lunch pretty soon. Maybe I can make her feel guilty about keeping us awake last night and I'll get a Shmakos!

Lots of Rain!

It's been raining a lot. Last night it totally flooded our backyard which is a major bummer because we can't go out and play in it. Mom and Dad went to the store last night and told us if we were good we'd get a Schmakos. Of course we were good! Dad took us out right before bedtime and Sasha whined about getting wet. I went out in the shallower part of the yard and came back to the porch and I whiped my paws off on the towel and came back inside. Dad was very happy I was good and gave me a milkbone. 2 treats in one night! I LOVE playing in water, but that water's nasty!! It smells funny, it looks funny and I really don't want to play in it. I'm a little worried about my toys though. My ball is out there somewhere and so is my plastic stick. I snuck a chewie out the other day and barried it and that's still out there too! I hope the backyard dries soon so I can go play again!

Fourth of July

Sorry it's been a few days since I posted. Mom was off 4 days from work and her friend came to vist. She's the friend Mom hangs out with when Dad and I go pheasant hunting. She's really nice. Dad, Mom and her friend went shoppping on Saturday and they went to the pet store and bought Schmakos! They said the store was out of the bacon ones so they got beef sticks instead and they're good too! I think those are the best treats ever!!! I can't wait to try the other flavors of Schmakos! So far I think they'll all be wonderful! So far my favorite is the bacon ones, but I'm not picky.
Yesterday was the 4th of July. I don't like this holiday and don't see the point of it. Mom and Dad went to a friend's house and then when it got dark there were a bunch of scarey noises! Gunnar and Sasha hid in the bedroom but I stayed out and tried to listen to see if it was a distraction for people trying to brake into my house. I don't like this holiday at all! too stressful!
It looks like even though the Big Jeep is broke, the end of August I still get to go camping! We're going to Holy Cross which is where I learned to swim last year and protected Mom from the dog that we thought was a bear.
I'm going to go take a nap now. My schedule is thrown way off since Mom was home 4 days in a row!
