Doctor Appt.

I have to go to the doctor tomorrow. That is what I hear anyways.  I have never been to the doctor so I don't even know if I should care.  When I was a little baby I never had my dew claws removed, I guess I don't need them (shrugs) like a human appendix.  I got one stuck and it ripped my nail out and left an icky bulge at my nail where the skin pulled. It bled for a minute and now it just bugs me.  I don't know what I'm in for but say your puppy prayers that I'm still alive after tomorrow because my mom needs me to keep her warm at night.  Even if she has bad farts.

Do I need a haircut already?  My mom cuts my hair a lot.  In the summertime I get a haircut every 3 weeks or so.  I also shower every 3 days.  You have to remember I'm a farm dog.  I get dirty quick. Living in a place where there is red dirt and horse poop it is necessary and there is no way mom could get me to a salon that frequently. But now it's cold outside and I'm not in a rush to get a trim.  The problem is that I still go outside and sit in the dirt and my little feet get dusty and dirty.  I sleep with mom.  She doesn't like ANYTHING weird on her sheets.  This is one reason I get a shower so often. So right now my feeties are dusty and really need a haircut.  Mom knows this because she trimmed my nails tonight and well that gave her the perfect point of view to see the dirt.

Showering in the winter is wayyyy different.  I get cold and mom has to blow dry me which is not super fun.  I have such tender skin and my ears take forever to dry.  When I do get a shower I spend the night snuggled up as close as possible to keep warm.

Most important is do I look cute with a bit of a shaggy dooo?

Sweater

I got cuter while I slept last night.
I'm wearing a sweater now that it's cold.  I look like a college boy. Sooo cute. It's red, I could be a University of Utah UTE!

I can't decide if I'm scared of the dark.  When mom goes out and is later than I think she will be and shows up after dark without listening to me say.....MOM.  remember to leave a light on. (Just like Tom Bodet always said) I am in the dark.  It's dark up on this hill.  Of course I'm not alone with Gracie and Big Belle here. 

I'm just happy when I see those headlights hit the windows and I know it's potty time and my mom is home safe and sound.

I'm back!

Michele from Nebraska has pointed out that I have totally neglected my blogging.  She is right, obviously because I haven’t blogged in a long time.  But she is my inspiration and here I am.

So what have I been up to……I had an accident but don’t worry I’m ok.  I hate it when I get left home from 4 wheeling rides.  All those 4 wheelers were loaded up on that big silver trailer and I didn’t want it to leave without me even if it was going to Idaho.  I jumped up on one and accidentally slid off. I fell far. I hit the side of the trailer on my back and then fell to the ground.  The one time my cat like instincts didn’t help me.  I was embarrassed but I was hurt so bad.  I limped for weeks.  Mom was so worried that I was broken and that I was in pain.  I pulled an important muscle in my back hip so mom got me some vitamins that help make me strong.  I don’t limp anymore but I’m afraid I won’t go 4 wheeling anymore.  Mom gets all protective and freaked out like moms do. I’m not a baby anymore and it was “one” accident. An isolated incident. 

My girl Bella still loves me the most ever.  There is a boy dog who is as big as Bella that came around a couple times but I shut him down.  I was so in his face and nasty that he doesn’t come back.  Bella knows who her boy is.  I wasn’t afraid of him just because he was bigger and has his stuff hangin’ still.  It was pretty cool how I totally protected my territory.  It was like I turned into some Super Dog with adrenaline power.

Oh the coolest news is that we have a new house sitter for when our parentals are gone.  Angela is my favorite.  When she first came to meet us she was the 3^rd girl we met. I climbed right up on her lap. I didn’t do that with the other girls. It isn’t that I didn’t like the other girls I just really like her.  She has come out a couple times and chilled with us.  It’s nice to have company when mom goes out of town which she does a lot and apparently to places that don’t allow dogs which is just ridiculous.  I guess I have to view it like this – if they did then I wouldn’t know Angela!

So that’s an update.  Mom still loves me the most.  We spoon when we sleep.  She says I keep her warm but the truth is she keeps me warm. I still hate when she uses the dumb computer and doesn’t pay attention to me. I’m pretty persistent though.
