I'm Going On An Adventure Tomorrow

I have been really bad at keeping up on everybody. I am really sorry if I've missed anything!!!!
I've been trying to figure out my mysery trip tomorrow. I can't figure it out! I have some clues, but they don't help. I know we're taking my Jeep and my Aunt Gillian is coming in her truck, I know we're packing a lunch but we should be home a little after lunch, I know Dad hs to pack some special tools tonight and I know that when Grandma gets off work tomorrow she's stopping by to pick up Sasha to go to her house for awhile. I also know that we're leaving between 8:00 and 9:00 in the morning and Mom has all her batteries for her camera charged. I have no idea. These cluues could mean lots of different things. Anybody got any ideas? Mom told Aunt Gillian not to tell me where we're going. Mom also told her not to bring my cousins and Aunt Gillian said no way because she'd never catch Bodee and Bailey would be afraid. I'm guessing I get to run free and there's loud noises. If any of you have any guess, let me know. I've been trying to figure it out all week and I'm coming up with not a thing.
Have a great weekend everybody! Mom says I'm going to!

I Love Fall

The weather has been nice since Sunday which I guess was the first day of fall. I love fall because we can go out and lay in the yar as long as we want and not roast or freeze. Mom actually forgot about us once on Sunday because we were outside for so long without asking to come in. We also spend a lot of time laying in the sun patch from the back door. It's not too hot to lay their either.
I'm going on an adventure on Saturday and nobody will tell me what it is. I know we're taking my Jeep WOOHOOO!! and Mom said Bear Bait has to stay home (that means Sasha has to stay home because it's something fun but she wouldn't like it and she'd get really whiney and drive Mom crazy). I also know there's others invited and I know we're taking lunch but I don't know where we're going. I know it's not camping because it's too cold for that now and there's nothing sitting out getting ready for that. I know we're not going to Grandma & Grandpa Cheese's house becuase Sasha is staying home and I know it's just a one day thing because there's nothing being packed. I'm so excited!! Mom said she needs to make sure that her batteries are working in her camera so there should be pictures for you to see whenever I get all rested up from my adventure. Dad has pretty much all the bugs worked out of my Jeep and I'm so happy! I can't wait to share pictures of me and my Jeep! There's going to be a lot of you that are going to be really jealous of me and my Jeep. The gas people need to stop being so mean so that Mom and Dad can afford to take my Jeep more places with me. My Jeep takes a lot of Gas to run but it's REALLY powerful and REALLY cool!
Dad should be home really soon so I better go listen for my Jeep. I've been letting Dad take my Jeep to work since his truck needs worked on next.

Question From Mom

Hello everybody. Kaos has been pouting all week because she only got to ride in "her" Jeep once during the weekend and I haven't taken pictures of her yet. Her dad is still doing some stuff to it and drives it to work everyday now so it's kind of hard to get a picture. Plus, he just washed the windows and he's kind of hoping to make in a week without any window art. Don't worry though. There's an adventure that will hopefully be happening soon.
Here's my questions. Do any of you dogs, or if your parents would like to answer this that would probably be a good idea, anyway, do any of you dogs do weird human like things that surprise your parents? Kaso and Sasha and even Gunnar do things all that time that amaze me. I know they understand so much more than they are given credit for. This has been sort of an emotional week for me and Kaos has been right by my side with all of her wonderful hugs and Sasha offers to clean my face whenever possible. Kaos is always right there by me when I'm not feeling good and knows the reason she gets to go in the front yard off leash and not Sasha is because she listens and is a good girl. Here's what happened. The other morning was kind of chilly and everybody knows once the alarm clocks start going off they can come get in the bed with us. It makes it really hard to get up in the morning because it's all cozy and comfy. Well, the other morning the alarms went off and Kaos got up on the bed and curled up with me and Gunnar got up on top of us and Sasha came up, too. We were all nice and toasty and then Kaos's Dad had to get up to get ready for work. Everybody went to eat breakfast and go outside and then usually Kaos and Sasha come back to cuddle with me. Kaos came back, but Sasha went to Kaos's bed which sometimes happens. When I got up to get ready for work, Sasha's blanket that she sleeps with everynight was in Kaos's bed made into one of Sasha's famous nests. Sasha's bed is on my side of the bed and Kaos's is on her dad's side so it's not like she just sccoted it over, she had to drag it over. Of course since she's a miniature dacshund the blanket it about 4 times her size. Their Dad said the blanket wasn't there when he
I also have one about Kaos, too. In the morning, when I get up to go take a shower Kaos and Sasha get in my bed so when I come through I can pet them and tell them how silly they are. When I move into the livingroom, Kaos comes with me and either lays on the couch or on the floor in the path to the front door. When I go to leave I tell her to be a very good girl, I love her and I'll see her at lunch or after work depending what's going on that day. I started noticing it last week and decided to be sure to pay attention every day and sure enough, it happens EVERY day. After I go through my goodbye speach and rub the top of her head, she always gives me a nod. Kind of like this nods that guys give to other guys to substitute for a wave.
Does anybody else notice these litttle funny things about their babies? I laugh when I hear studies done about how dogs and cats don't understand and are stupid. The latest one I heard was that cats only have a 3 minute memory. I can guarantee that Gunnar has way more than 3 minutes of memory. He pretends to have only 30 seconds sometimes, but I know better. Kaos's Grandma read a study about how dogs start on a daily routine and they don't understand the different days of the week thing. I know this is wrong, too because Kaos knows when the weekend is and she understands if her Dad leaves early, he's home at 5:00 and if he leaves late, he's home at 7:00. She knows exactly the time he should pull in the driveway and she knows if he drives a Jeep to work to watch for him at the front door and if he rides his bike, to watch the back door.
If any of you have stories that amaze you about how wrong all those studies are, we'd love to hear them.
Have a great weekend everybody and hopefully Kaos will be done pouting by Monday.
Hilary (Kaos's Mom)

My Tail Won't Stop Wagging!

Last night Dad got my Jeep to start and moved it around in the driveway a little bit and I got to sit in my seat while he was doing it and Mom couldn't find the memory chip to her camera and that's okay because I GOT TO RIDE IN MY JEEP!!! Dad still has to do a couple things before we can take it out of the driveay and then this weekend I'M GOING FOR A RIDE!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! After I helped Dad move it in the driveway, i had to go inside with Mom while Dad cleaned up the driveway. It drove me nuts! I was worried Dad was going to go somewhere in my Jeep without me and I whined and whined and whined and ignored Mom's threats to tie my tail around my nose if I didn't stop. Dad finally came inside and my tail wagged so fast my back legs had a hard time walking correctly. Mom calls that my happy wiggle. Mom also said she swore that she heard me wagging my tail in my sleep last night. I LOVE MY JEEP!!! I can't wait for this weekend!!!! Hopefully Mom will find her memory chip before then and I'll have some cool pictures to show you of me in MY Jeep. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
I need to go take another nap. I keep making myself exhausted from all the excitement!
Have a WONDERFUL weekend everybody!!!

It's Almost Done!!!

My Jeep is almost done!!!! I can't wait!! We won't get to go camping, but we can still go for rides and stuff. Dad said he's gotten a bunch done today and should have everything driveable by Sunday! I'm soooo excited!!! I'm sure he'll take me on the test ride once it's ready cuz he knows how badly I want to ride in my Jeep! Mom's been meaning to take pictures of my Jeep, but there's usually pieces and parts and told laying around it so I told her to wait until it doesn't look broken anymore. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!
Mom is doing some cleaning. It's driving me crazy because she's dusting places that haven't been dusted in a long time. I sneeze a lot and I have to protect everybody from the vacuum monster. She's finally done with the living room and is going to start the dining room. Lukcily the dining room has less dust. When she does her bedroom, I'm going to hide. That room hasn't been dusted since they've adopted me 2 years ago! There is a book shelf in the living room that hadn't been moved since it was put there 3 years ago. Mom was trying to clean cobwebs out and figured out it was a spider breeding ground so she cleaned it off and moved it to get behind it. Sasha, Gunnar and I had to help because there were so many spiders that tried to get away. We were chasing spiders all night! Mom realized why we have no flies or nats in the house. It's because they're all wrapped up in spider webs. I think most of the spiders are gone now, but we find one once in awhile and have to take care of them for Mom. She's not afraid of them, she's just busy stirring up the dust.
There's also ghosts in my house. Once in awhile I'll be sitting there minding my own business and there will be this squeek noise behind me and I'll turn around really fast and nothing will be there. There's usually a funny smell though. Mom says I must be eating something out in the yard, but I don't know what she means. According to her, me eating things that make gassie stuff in my tummy causes the ghost to squeek and stink. I don't understand it, but she's the one with the college degree.
I'm going to go see if Dad needs my help now. He keeps saying I can't be around for this part because he doesn't want stuff to fall on me, but I'm always ready in case he gets to a spot where he needs me. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Guard Dog Duty

I have to tell you all about my wonderful guard dog talent. Last night we went to bed and a little after 10:00 I heard someone at the front door and so I went to bark at them. I barked and barked and then the door opened and I barked louder and meaner and a woman came in and smiled at me and I got down in attach position cuz I wasn't going to let this woman get into my house any further. The AO4 would have been proud of me. I knew Mom and Dad would be there soon to back me up and make this woman leave because she was coming into MY house uninvited after we had gone to bed. Then all of a sudden I realized I knew the woman. IT WAS MOM!!!!! I forgot she went to hang out with Aunt Cassie for a girlie evening. Just from my normal nightly routine I forgot Mom wasn't home yet! I felt so guilty. Sasha knew who she was right away and started doing her I love you whine which is sort of why I all of a sudden realized I was going to attack my Mom! I felt so guilty! My tail tucked under, my ears layed back and I hung my head really low and told Mom I was really really really sorry. She laughed at me and said I was a good guard dog. I followed her all over the house while she got ready for bed. She wouldn't let me in the bathroom but she did open the door while she was taking her contacts out and taking her medicine. I made sure she got into bed safely and then this morning I got up relly early to cuddle with her to make sure she knew I still loved her. I can't believe it was Mom!!! Mom says it's okay beause she knows that she can depend on me if anybody ever tried to break in, but still....... IT WAS MOM!!!!!!
I'm going to go take a nap on the couch now. I didn't sleep well because I was paranoid about every little sound after that.
Oh yeah! Guess what this is my 200th post! WOOHOO!!

Bed Puker Victims

Hi everybody. This weekend wasn't very fun. Mom was in a bad mood and stressed out and Dad worked on someone else's Jeep somewhere else. I'm making Dad stay home and work on my Jeep on Friday.
On Saturday, Mom and I were the victims of the bed puker. It was very disturbing and disgusting. Mom went into the bedroom after she got home from having lunch with Dad to get the laundry sorted to wash it and noticed a big puke spot on her side of the bed. Mom was not happy and wasn't planning on washing sheets. She pulled them off and pulled the matress cover off and wshed the light colored clothes first (that way the matress pad was done before the sheets since it goes on first - isn't she so smart?) then when she went to get the sheets and the dark clothes she stepped on my bed and found out I was a victim, too. Mom narrowed it down to Gunnar or Sasha since I don't spend much time in the bedroom unless there's someone in there to snuggle with. So we all tried to figure out who it was. Mom said that was the first time you couldn't tell who it was by the look of it. (I think she meant my the food.) So we all went to bed that night on clean sheets and bed cover and then 4 am Sunday morning we learned who the bed puker was. It was Sasha! Of course she stepped out of her bed. Mom and I gave her a hard time the next day for stepping out of her bed. She tried to make the point that she tried onthe other's, too but didn't make it because the beds are harder to get out of. Whatever! I slept horrible that night because I couldn't get comfy and the bed smelled......clean. Yuck! All the pillow fluffy had shifted when Mom and Dad put the cover back on my bed and I just couldn't get it to where it was supposed to and then that terrible clean smell kept me awake, too! And you know what! Sasha never had to have her bed washed. I think as a punishment, Mom should have washed her bed and all of those blankets she sleeps with. Instead, she only had to have one blanket washed and it's not even a blanket she uses very often!
That was it for the excitment. I do have pictures of a wonderful gift from Grandma, but I have to wait for Mom to get them off her camera and something happened at work yesterday and she freaked out BIG time and so she didn't get the pictures off the card. It took her today to fix the problem, too so they're still on the memory card and not on my blog. Hopefully tomorrow!
It's almost time for the highschoolers to get out so I better go get ready to yell at them to stay out of my yard.

Nothing Going On

I haven't been too busy to post this week or ignoring everybody. There's absolutely nothing going on! Nothing. Not one thing! It's also hot again so that doesn't help at all. Mom has a 3 day weekend and then Dad is off on Sunday and Monday for Labor Day Weekend and I have a feeling Mom will be working on cleaning her car and Dad will be working on the Jeep. Mom got her car title in the mail last week and went and had the title changed over into her married name this week so she decided since the car finally belongs to her, she is going to clean it really good and make it all pretty. I am so glad she didn't have a payment plan on me! I hate getting cleaned, especially really good scrubbings!
I hope you all have a good weekend, espcially if your parents have a 3 day weekend! Hopefully I'll have a fun story to tell you.
If your name isn't Flash, stop reading here.
I hope you are doing okay! I miss you a bunch!! Can't wait to hear all about your trip!

My Weekend

My weekend wasn't very exciting. Saturday was okay because Dad was feeling TONS better and guess what! The inside of the Jeep is pretty much done! The seats are in and the paint is dry and now he jsut needs to put the transmission in and a few other things and we can go somewhere! Dad started the Jeep on Saturday and I was stuck in the house and when Mom came inside I was going crazy! I wanted to be in the Jeep! I was worried he was going to go without me! Mom said there still isn't a transmission in it so don't worry because it won't go anywhere. I hope he gets it all done on his next day off! Labor Day weekend is coming and I have no idea what that means but I know Mom gets 3 days off and Dad will get 2 since he has to work on Saturday. That reminds me, I need to have a talk with my Dad's boss. Dad needs weekends off all the time so that he can be home with Mom and I...oh yeah and those other 2, too. That reminds me. you gall did great on guessing what was wrong with the picture on Friday's post. You dogs are so smart!
I found out Grandma and Grandpa Cheese were in town and they didn't come visit me! Can you believe that? I know I can't! Grandma brought toys to us on Saturday and I wanted to show Grandma and Grandpa Cheese my new toys and my new awesome collar, but nooooooooo, they were busy! Mom said she told them about my toys and new collar though and they said they were very happy for me. Not the same! I can't wait until it's time to go visit them! THEN! Guess what Mom did! She went to a dog show on Sunday! Why in the world would you go to a dog show and not take a dog? Mom's weird that way I guess. It was at the state fair and it was Aunt Cassie's nephew's 4-H project. Mom smelled like so many dogs it took Sasha and I almost an hour to sniff her down. She also had lots of food smells that were on top of the dog smells. Mom said it was fun at first, but then got reallyboring (DUH I could have told her that jus tbby the name! It was a dog show! A show for dogs!!!!). She said it was cool seeing all the different types of dogs there, but the people organizing it were very unorganized and they spent 4 hours waiting for the awards ceremony that they said would be at 1:00. Mom was really tired when she got home. She said that she was amazed at seeing how all the dogs were behaving. She said she was glad we weren't show dogs even though those dogs were really good and very well behaved, she likes our craziness and unpredictability better. Not sure what that means, but my Mom's weird so I'm sure it's a good thing.
The kids across the street are doing weird things again so I have to go bark at them through the picture window some more. I have to do this every day there's school. Mom says I get Monday off, too. I think Mom and I will have to have one of our "cuddle and sleep in while Dad works on the Jeep" mornings on Monday.

What's Wrong With This Picture

I know I've been promising this post all week , but we got baths the other night and let's jsut say I'm not happy. Mom is making a big deal about how good we smell, but I really don't care. I'm not going to post pictures because I think Mom seeing all the bath pictures lately gave her the idea to do it and I don't want to be the reason for some other poor defenseless dog getting a bath.
Okay, so her's the picture. Can you tell what's wrong with it?
Here's some clues as to what the answer isn't. It isn't I'm not wearing my cool new collar that I love a BUNCH (you should have seen how upset I was when Mom took it off for my bath and didn't put it on until the next morning!). The answer isn't that there's a bench seat in the living room. The answer isn't that there's a big nasty spot in the seat.
Ready for the answer?
Here it is: The thing that is wrong with this picture is.....GUNNAR IS SITTING ON TOP OF THE FRONT SEAT OF MY BIG JEEP!!! What is up with the cat sitting on a seta frrom a vehicle! He hates car rides and he's sitting on the seat that belongs in MY Jeep. See me giving him dirty looks? In case your're wondering what he's looking at, it's the ceiling fan. I do the same thing. There's an airconditioner vent right above the ceiling fan in the living room and it makes a really nice place to stand (or sleep) when you're hot .
This is what the picture should look like:

See, Dad and his 2 dogs in the Jeep seat. Actually since this is the front seat, it should be Mom and Dad on the ends with Mom's camera equipment between them and Sasha on Mom's lap and me in the back seat. The back seat is in the computer room. Dad was working on putting the extra padding on the front seat and then the seat cover. It doesn't look like this anymore, but it's still in the living room. The funny thing is, Mom says it's more comfy than the couch and is thinking about getting rid of some other furniture in the living room and getting bench seats to sit on. As long as it comes from a Jeep I think I'd be okay with replacing my chair with a Jeep seat - has to be a Jeep though cuz they're the most comfy. Dad says the seat I sit on in the back is actually from a truck, but it's become one with my Jeep so it's now a Jeep seat. The reason that seat is in the house too is because Dad ran out of room in the 2 car garage and didn't want it to get dirty while he's inishing painting the cool stuff inside my Jeep. I really hope he gets it finished so I can take pictures of me having fun in my Jeep again. He needs to hurry up and get well (he got another shot yesterday and was not happy about it).

Have a great weekend everybody!!

My Sorta-Sister Dory

I'm sure a lot of you know Dory. This is my most favorite picture of her. Dory is my sorta-sister because we are so much a like. Those of you that know Dory know about all of her cool collars that she has. On her collar in this picture you can see sailboats.

Well, yesterday a package came and you'll never guess what was in it! A cool collar from Dory! There are no pictures of the opening of the package because Mom forgot her memory card was in her bag because she had gotten the pictures off from what I was originally going to post today (check back tomorrow for those, this story is much more exciting) and not in her camera. Anyway, once I saw that it was a collar and that it was camo I went crazy!!! Look at how cool it is (also no up close pictures of it off of me for the same reason and then after it was on me, I wouldn't let Mom take it off)! It's my most favorite color in the entire world! Camo green! There's black paw prints and black labs on it, too! Mom kept the tag so I could tell you where it is from but of course she didn't put it in a spot I could find it, but I'm sure Dory can tell us where it's from. Mom started adjusting it and it took her forever and ever to get it the right size. I was actually kind of insulted that she started off so huge! She finally got it on me and then I wouldn't let her take it off. The inside if the collar is so nice and soft against my fur and there's not that big long tail flapping around like on my old collar. See how happy I am in my brand new collar! I'm stylin' just like Dory! When Dad finally got home last night, he put my tags on my new collar and messed with the size a little more and I was extremly hyper for the rest of the night. Sasha was so jealous of me!! I loved it! I can't wait to show everybody else I know. Grandma is supposed to come by this week sometime to borrow the computer and I can't wait to show her my wonderful new color. Later last night I got a crazy feeling and started rolling all over the living room floor and doing zoomies from the dining room into the living room and back. Mom thought maybe Dad got my new collar too tight and there was not enough oxygen getting to my brain and that was causing my craziness, but nope, it was happy craziness because I love my new collar so much! It's the bestest ever! Dad said it's a little dangerous in the dark though. When we went outside he couldn't see me. Mom said we'll get me an orange hunting vest to wear outside in the dark. They're crazy!

I love my new collar a bunch!!! Thank you so much Dory for it. It's perfect! Thank you to Dory's Mom, Liza and Dory's brother, Mac, too. I LOVE YOU GUYS A BUNCH!!!!!

School started today and it's almost time for school to get out so I have to go make sure none of those kids cross the street and come into my yard. Living across the street from a school takes a lot of gueard duty. Check back tomorrow for the funny pictures.

Happy Barkday to My Dad!

Happy Barkday to my Dad!
Happy Barkday to my Dad!
Happy Barkday to myyyyyyeeeeeeee Daaaaaa-aaaaaadd!
Happy Barkday to my Dad!

Yesterday was my Dad's barkday and I was going to post this yesterday but Dad and Grandma were hogging the computer. I will say that what ever they did to the computer, made the internet TONS better.

My Dad still isn't feel good so he's going back to the doctor. He was supposed to make his appointment for today, but it's not until Thursday. I think he's hoping to feel better before then. Mom and Grandma told him he had to go back so he made the appointment. Sneaky Dad!

Do you like Dad's barkday cake? It's Bart Simpson and Mom made it. (Mom says not to look at the ugly wallpaper in the kitchen.) There's a lot of chocolate in the cake so Sasha and I didn't get any of it. We did clean up some crumbs on the floor though, but don't tell Mom, she thought someone cleaned them up for her. Aunt Cassie, Aunt Gillian and Grandma all came over to celebrate Dad's birthday. I had a lot of fun hogging Grandma's attention. I didn't care if anybody else was giving attention to Sasha and Gunnar, but I'm Grandma's favorite so I have to be sure all her attention stays on me!

Hope everybody had a gret weekend! I have a funny post for tomorrow. I'm going to go start on it now.

GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT!

Sunday was MY day! Saturday Mom and Dad were gone almost all day which wasn't fun, but Sunday Dad finally went back to work and Mom stayed home. I was hoping to get to blog on Sunday since Dad has been hogging the computer while he was home sick all of last week, but Mom hogged it. SHEESH! But, Mom didn't hog it all day, she spent time with me! She played with me and I helped her clean the bathroom andwe made lunch together (I discovered I really don't like cucumbers) and I got tons of ear scratching. Sasha hid almost all day so all attention was on ME! After lunch Mom and I were on the couch watching Scooby-Doo (have I mentioned my Mom is a Scooby freak? Sasha's real name is Sasha-Soo!) and the phone wrang. I thought it was Dad checking in on us, but no it was my Aunt Gillian. I haven't seen her since after my Mom's surgery. Well, she needed a ride into town because she lives in the next town over and doesn't have a vehicle anymore and wanted to know if Mom would come get her. GUESS WHAT! Mom said okay and then she asked if I wanted to go and it's been so long since I've gone anywhere and so I was confused and then Sasha heard and that was when I realized what Mom asked me so I gave her the sad but cute puppy eyes and then Sasha caught on and Mom looked at us and said we could both go so she went and started the car and got it cooled down enough for us and then we went to get in Mom's car. Sasha ran to the truck instead of the car. Mom got mad because Sasha is getting really bad about not listening to Mom. I would have rather gone in the truck or the Jeep, too but I knew that since it was Mom, we were in the car (it's also the one with the best air conditioning so I didn't complain at all). Sasha rode all the way to Aunt Gillian's house on the floor which confused Mom and I. She was mad because Mom told her she had to ride in the back seat. Personally, I prefer the back seat. More room to spread out. It took us about 20 minutes to get to Aunt Gillian's and then when we got there, I didn't get to go see my cousin Bailey, well I go to see her but she didn't come with us and I didn't get to get out because Mom was worried about the traffic. So Aunt Gillian got in the car and we came back to town and then we dropped her off. When Aunt Gillian got in the car, Sasha finally got on the seat but she whined all the way back to town because she wanted to sit in Aunt Gillian's lap, but Mom said she was being a butthead so she had to sit in the back. Mom kept looking in the mirror and telling me what an awesome dog I was being. She said I am the bestest car dog! So we came back home and I took a nap (car rides make me tired). Mom went to pick Dad up from work and I didn't ask to go because I was really tired. Awhile later Mom and Dad were outside doing stuff with gates open which means dogs have to stay inside and the phone wrang and I didn't know who it was because I was outside and Mom answered it in the garage and then Mom came inside and got her purse and went out the back door so I followed her and Sasha doesn't like to go outside unless Dad goes with her so she stayed inside and boy did she regret it. We went out the back said bye to Dad and then Mom said come on Kaos. I got in Mom's car and we went to pick up Aunt Gillian and took her back home! TWO CAR RIDES IN ONE DAY! On the way back home Mom asked if I wanted to sit in front and I didn't, but I think Mom wanted some company in the front so I hopped up front with Mom. Mom told me I was a really good dog and she was very happy she brought me both times for company. The airconditioner was colder up front and it made me sleepy so I curled up on the seat and layed my head on Mom's purse and she petted my head. She asked if I had fun and I gave her the "VERY MUCH! I LOVE YOU MOM!" tail wag. When we got home Sasha was REALLY jealous. Mom said if she wasn't such a butthead she could have gone, too. Mom told her she needs to stop being so stuckup and whiney like ME!
Today, when Mom came home for lunch she got us out some chewies and she gave be a handful instead of jsut my normal one. I hid them throughout the house so that when she gets home I can sit on the couch and chew on them with her and I don't have to worry about Sasha stealing all my chewies. Before Mom left she told me thank you for being such a good dog. OH and this morning the alarm clocks went off and so I got up on the bed on Mom's side and me, Mom and Dad had some major morning cuddles and then Dad told me I was being very good and then he told me thank you for being so calm. Hold on I have to take some breathes before I pass out........okay I'm okay now.
Thank you to everybnody that sent my Dad get better vibes. He has Bronchitas and Sinitus. He's on some medicine and blows his nose a lot. He's doing a little better, but he still isn't feeling very good. He's decided to stop smoking too! He started taking some other drug that some coworkers told him about and hopefully that will work. He's really excited about stopping, but that is going to mess up our nightly routine! I hope he still comes outside with us when it's time to go potty at night! I didn't think of that part! Oh well, as long as he's feeling better and heathy. Dad told me that with the money he'll save from not buying cigarettes he can afford to do more cool stuff to the Jeep and buy me more stuff! WOOHOOO!!!!!!
Okay, I am really tired now and it's really hot again so I'm going to go take a nap now. Hope all of you had a great weekend, too!

Sick Dad

Dad is sick now! Dad never gets sick! I took care of him yesterday and he's feeling worse today so he's going to the doctor. Dad NEVER goes to the doctor! Mom is going to come get him to take him. This is totally backwards! Dad is the one that takes Mom to the doctor! Dad took a nap yesterday and that's when we knew he was really sick. He NEVER takes naps unless he doesn't feel good. I'm really good at making Mom feel better, but I seem to only annoy my Dad when he isn't feeling good. I don't know what to do for him. I know exactly what to do for Mom. I'm not used to Dad being sick! Hopefully the doctor will be able to help him. I'm so stressed out! I'm going to go see if Dad will give me some of those wonderful treats Mom made me...I mean Sasha and I.

Delicious Treats!!

You all need to get someone to make these treats for you if you already haven't. I foudn it in the recipe section on DWB. Sherman, Penny & Lola's mom posted it and I am sooooooooooo happy she did! Mom did a bunch of baking this weekend and did these for us. My mom is soooo awesome!
Here's the recipe:
Cheesy cookies
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups rolled oats (or other flour...buckwheat, spelt or brown rice flours are my own personal preference.)
2 eggs
2 good shakes garlic powder
2 splashes warm water

smoosh everything in a bowl until it forms a dough-like consistancy (should hold together). Add warm water a splash at a time if too dry...shouldn't be too wet though. *press into a foil lined, EVOO covered (for easy clean up), cookie sheet *bake at 350 for 30 - 40 minutes. *cut into 1/2 inch sized cubes with a pizza cutter.

I copied it pretty much how it is on DWB so all of you can follow it just like my mom did so you'll get the same results my mom did! they are soooooooooooooooooooo good! I'll do almost any trick for them! There is a problem with them though. Dad thinks they're kind of tasty. He says they taste better warm though. I don't care about the temperature, they're good any temperature! I need to have Mom make some for my friends (poor Korra still has to deal with that annoying puppy Chase, Korra definately needs a special treat).
Thanks to Sherman, Penny & Lola's mom!!!!! I'm not a drooler, but using Nanook's Newfy Drool-o-meter method I give you simultaneous-ropes-to-the-floor (that's the highest ranking!!)
I'm going to go watch for Mom to come home and give us more. She should be home in 2 and a half yours! I can't wait!!

Google Searches

I decided to check on Google searches that led to my blog again and I think this time they are much better.
The first one is milk bones and milkbone recall. I was very sad about the milk bone recall. Our bag of milkboknes wasn't in the recall but Mom and Dad didn't want to take any chances and they haven't replaced the bag they got rid of. As soon as I figure out how to write, I'm adding milkbones to the shopping list. Mom mentioned the other day that we haven't gotten our lunch time milkbone in a long time. DUH! That's why we're starving by the time she gets home from work at night and gives us dinner.
The second one is hot tub neighborour new neighbors have a hot tub which I'm thinking is like a swimming pool. Mom says she's pretty sure they wont' let me in it because I'll clog the filters. I don't know what that means, but I'm sure they'll let me. I don't think there's any water in it yet though so once I think there's water in it, I'm going to start using my black lab charm, nobody can resist that!
The third one I feal a little guilty about. It is cheating moms. My mom wasn't really cheating on my dad. I just didn't know Harry Potter was a movie and a book. I know my Mom would never really cheat on my Dad. They love each other a bunch and have fun together.
The fourth one I'm kind of confused about. It is kaos it. I don't know what that means. Kaos really isn't a verb, but if you make my name into a verb by things I love to do then it could mean a lot of things. It could mean "fetch it," "hunt it," "hug it," "wrestle it," "eat it," and "smile it." I hope that person found whatever they were looking for.

Okay, now i have a question for all of you. Do any of you know what OCD or ubsestive combulsive dissorder is? My Dad says I have this dissorder thing and I don't know what it means. I think it has something to do with playing fetch because that's usually when he says it. It doesn't matter if I'm outside with my outside toys and balls or inside with my rope. If any of you know what this is or know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, could you let me know.
Have a great weekend everybody!

Cranky Mom

Still nothing exciting going on here. Dad is home working on the Jeep again. I dont' think we're going to get to go camping this summer, but hopefully we'll get to go somewhere clse by to play. There's also always snow jeeping this winter!
Mom is in a bad mood this morning. I couldn't even cheer her up and I can always cheer her up. She says it's her job that makes her grumpy. I'm still working on finding her a job that she can do while scratching my ears. I'm not coming up with anything though. Mom gets really excited when she goes to check the mail which worried me. I thought there was another Harry Potter coming because that's how the last one came. Dad keeps telling Mom "You just mailed it 2 days ago!" I had no idea what they were talking about until I heard Mom saying that when it comes she's going to clean her car really good to celebrate. Mom mailed her last payment on her car. She wasn't scheduled to send the last one until November, but Mom and Dad figured things out and mailed the last payment Tuesday. Mom bought her car before she met Dad because her other car died and she was tired of pying for car repairs on cars she hated. That was 5 years ago and Mom is really excited about paying it off. She loves her car (personally I like the Jeeps better)and even though they're talking about buying Mom a Jeep, Mom says she's keeping her car - at least for awhile. Hopefully, it will come soon and then Mom will forget how crappy her job is for awhile.
I'm going to go see how far Dad has gotten. He's supposed to finish the inside today so he can get the transmission ready for Sunday. I can't wait to go on the test drive!

Remember Me?

Here's a picture to help you remember who I am. I found out that I don't have to worry about Harry Potter! When Mom went to see him, it wa a movie and that book she was reading was Harry Potter. Mom finished it last Thursday and then gave it to Aunt Cassie. I'm glad it's not in the house right now. When it was here, Mom spent way too much time with it. I see I'm not the only one that was neglected because of some book.
Nothing really exciting has been going on. Mom is in a bad mood because of work, Dad is working on the Jeep a lot, Gunnar is better so I can wrestle with him now, Sasha isn't feeling good (I think she's faking it because she has moments when she forgets she's not feeling good) and we never see Aunt Cassie anymore because she has a boyfriend now. It doesn't look like we're going to be going camping. The Jeep isn't going as fast as we had hoped and the summer is almost over (Mom won't go camping after August because she gets too cold). It's a bummer, but now I'm focussing on going pheasant hunting and visiting Grandma & Grandpa Cheese. I can't wait!
I'm going to go wrestle with Gunnar now. He needs the workout and I need to burn off some built up energy.

I Think My Mom's Cheating On Dad!

Friday night Mom went out by herself to see some guy named Harry Potter. Dad didn't seem too worried about it, but I was! Mom and Dad hardly ever go anywhere at night without the other one! This Harry Potter guy must ear popcorn butter as calonge because Mom smelled like popcorn when she got home. Then the next day Mom kept talking about how she couldn't wait until Harry Potter got here! He was coming to our house while Dad was home!! I guess Dad made him go away before he got in the house since he was working on the Jeep in the driveway because nobdy came to the house until later that night and they were all people I knew and love. I guess Mom got mad because she's been reading a book now instead of paying attention to us. At lunch she wouldn't help me find my rope. She said to find it on my own, she was reading!! This is not like her!!! If I ever find out who this Harry Potter guy is, he's going to wish he'd never met me!
I'm going to go watch to see if he tries to sneak into my house while Dad is gone.

It's Too Hot Again

ONce again it's too hot to do anything. It finally rained lat night so today is cooler and tomorrow is supposed to be cooler, but it's still hot. Dad is home again today so we've been working on the Jeep, but when it gets too hot we have to stop. It's really frustrating because there's so much work that needs to be done and August is almost here!
Gunnar took his last pill this morning. Mom is hoping that he stays healthy this time. I think he will because he is pretty much back to himslef. we still haven't wrestled in awhile, but I bet he's strong enough. He's back to hangingin out in the bathroom window all day, sleeping on Mom's legs at night, begging for food and waking everybody up in the morning. It was nice not hearing him whine all the time, but it made Mom whine so I guess it's better he's feeling better. They're pretty sure it was him stealing Sasha's food that made him sick.It used to be that Mom and Dad would put out our 3 bowls and then we could eat whenever we wanted. Gunnar and I eat right away, but Sasha would pull her Princess routine and eat whenever she felt like it which meant Gunnar would get into the bowl. That has now changed. If Shasha doesn't eat at the scheduled time, she waits for the next meal. Yesterday she didn't get breakfast, but she thought she could talk Mom into giving her her bowl but Mom didn't cave! Mom is always the one we go to when we want out of a punishment early! I was afraid maybe Mom's sympathy for her us was stored in her gallbladder and when they took it out, they took the sympathy, too. Thankfully Mom said she's tired of taking Gunnar to the vet so Sasha is just going to have to get over the eating when she feel slike it thing. When dinner was put out last night, boy was she hungry! She started to go sit on the couch with Mom, but Mom siad she better eat because it was a really long time until breakfast. HA!
It sounds like Dad is home from going and picking up some parts so I better get back out and help him. If I don't post tomorrow, then have a great weekend everybody!
