Oops. I'm in the wrong month. BOL!

I was nice and quiet in the car. Always am. I just got over in my basket by the window and lazily enjoyed the ride. Mom said she would take me again.

As for the teeth cleaning ... Mom thought I would be the easy one. I surprised her, too. Hehe. I wouldn't open my mouth, didn't want to chew on that toothbrush, and didn't like it when Mom tried to brush the outside of my teeth.

We got to try Nutri Dent minichews today. Mom is afraid Pippi swallowed hers without chewing at all. Sheesh. Personally I chewed mine.

Mom packed us up in the car this morning and took us with her to Cades Cove in the Smoky Mountains. Today is the last day the loop road is open until late May. Mom us bumming about that. We saw lots of deer and I made sure to bark at each and every one of them. Mom says I drove her crazy. Mom also suspects I was trying to bark at every tree at times. Hehe. What can I say. I was excited. Mom is wondering though if anyone has any good ideas on how to get me to bark less in the car. Especially when Mom usually doesn't have someone else there in the car to help.

The other thing we did this weekend ... Mom brushed my teeth yesterday. First time. She thought I was going to be difficult, but I surprised her. Now I'm not saying Mom did a great job on my teeth, but she did get some brushing in and I chewed on the toothbrush a lot. Hope we're not repeating things telling you that. My secretary is too tired to scroll up and look.

Good morning everyfur. A lazy Sunday around here looks like since my ears are still bothering me. So looking forward to having the test this week and finding out what is going to make them better finally. Mom wants to make stuff on the BBQ today, hope she gets some chicken for me too! Wait a minute, she just had Blake go get some boneless pork chops from the freezer, yummy!! I can have some of that, yay!

Have fun with your houseguest Sassy and pawsome bandanas Pippi and Cheeky!!

Gosh, can you believe that it's the end of the month already, geeze, where did it go!

Have a pawsome day :)

Gotcha weekend ... I like that!

How exciting about your house guest, Sassy. How is she fitting in with your family? I'm so glad that you could take her in. That's hard when there is a death in the family like that. Can't wait to see pics. And we won't even take any bets over it. Hehe.

Wow, we're way behind again. Happy Gotcha Weekend Cheeky. I think you should just get treats and huggles all weekend.

Happy Birthday to Blake and Tink and Vixies' dad. Hope everyone is having fun celebrating.

Pippi and Cheeky, very cute bandannas and it's so neat that you get surprises in the mail.

We give lots of kisses around here, mom is always in our face and won't get out until we do. That's the only way to get rid of her, I'm mean not really rid of her but just for the time being. Harley is our real kisser he kisses whatever is close to his face but none of us do ear kisses.

Guess what happened to us today.....we have a house guest for a little while. You know mom works with Yorkie Friends Rescue and there was a little yorkie that lived with 8 cats, a bird and an snake and her real mom passed away and her human step sister had her but didn't really want her. Mom and dad did not want her to stay in that mess one day longer so they went to get her. So she will be our foster sister till we find her a forever home. It's going to be pretty easy I think cause she's a real cutie. All black. the only concern mom has is she that she is 10 years old. She acts like a puppy though. Mom will try to get a couple pictures posted so you can see her and I'll keep you posted on how she's doing.

Well gotta go for now.

Our new pretty bandannas...

The sun was in my eyes...

... so Mom put my bandanna on so it would keep the sun out of my eyes.

Then Mom held the camera out and took a picture of herself with each of us.

Well, Happy Belated Birthday to Tink and Bug's dad and to Blake. Hope everyone had a good time. Lucky pups, Tink and Bug, getting some ice cream. Yum!!

Bug that is good news that your ear is clearing up. So glad they found the right thing and you could avoid it. Hopefully yours will be cleared up soon, too, Binx. You've really had a time of it. Do you have to avoid the pool and the lake when your ear is bothering you?

Cheeky and I have been having a napping contest. I think I am winning. She has moved around a lot more than I have. Don't know why we're both so tired today.

Tink practically hogged everything...hhmmmpppffftt. But, Cheeky, I kiss hands, too....usually when mom is on the laptop. That's when I decide I need attention and crawl between her and the laptop and kiss whatever I can get too...hehe...she loves it...I'm like Tink when it comes to clothes....no way, no how. Whoever thought up putting clothes on dogs anyways. Must of been a cat...Binx, hope your ear gets better. It definately doesn't feel good having it bother you.

Cheeky, I like the idea of only having to share every 4 years....unless I'm the one on the losing end....Pip, I don't do any kind of clothing....yesterday was dad's b-day and we got some ice-cream. I thought we needed some of the cake as well...but it was chocolate. Dad put a bow around my neck though when he was opening gifts, the only reason I let it happen is cuz he got some chocolate...and I was hoping he would share...no such luck. Binx, hope that ear problem gets figured out and cleared up soon. Bug's has started clearing up since mom picked up all the rawhides...I'm not to happy about that, but I haven't been able to chew on them anyways. Something about my mouth might be sore still to chew. I keep trying to tell mom it's fine already....

Good morning everyfur! What a day we had yesterday, whew! Mom and I got up and left to meet Kasey at the dog park and Blake and Gregory were still sleeping. Kasey was feeling a lot better yesterday, yay! She was running all around with me for awhile before she pooped out and laid down. She is still having a ruff time though. Did I tell you that she is 14, holy wow! Anywho, we left the dog park and came home long enough for another stoooopid ear cleaning and a quick brush and it was time to go see the dogtor. Mom had him test that stooopid stuff in my ears and it turns out that it isn't yeast like usual but bacteria. No wonder it won't get better. I have to go again on Thursday to get another test to find out what kind of bacteria it is so they can give me the right meds for it. Then we finally got home at somewhere around 4. It was Blake's birthday yesterday too. We had dinner and all relaxed and watched tv together. We were hoping to make dinner on the BBQ but supposed to rain, pooh! He finds out his schedule today, yay!! Anywho, happy Gotcha day coming up Cheeky!! Hope everyfur has a pawsome day!! :) Binx

We had a nice time on the sun porch late this afternoon. So toasty warm out there. Although I will say the sun was getting in our eyes. Mom brought us out there to get a surprise that came today. Someone sent us some bandannas, and the note in the box said there are cookies coming. Yum! Mom took some pictures. We made her work for them too to keep us distracted so that we wouldn't take the bandannas off. Hopefully Mom will get them transferred to the computer and post a picture soon.

Thanks, Bug and Tink. Pippi tried to tell me I only get to celebrate every four years, but I told her I thought it was that I only had to share every four years. Hehe.

I am a mouth kisser. Mouth, nose, eyes, ears, cheeks, hands (while you're trying to type), etc. You name it, I kiss it. But only for Mom and Grandma.

Hi guys....hopefully all will go good at the vet Wed, Cheeky. I'm again eating whatever I want....lol
Pip...I'm a mouth kisser....haven't really ever done hair. Sassy, glad your mom enjoyed the kisses...:):):) we're big kissers here. Binx, we are definately gonna have to check that place out. We have seen the ads for the $3.99 Mom likes having lots of choices...hope everyone has a good day :)

Happy Gotcha Day, Cheeky......we know we're early...but there is no 29th this year...and weekends can be a bit crazy here...so we wanted to make sure we didn't miss it. BTW.."I" got to do this one since Tink hogged Sassy's....hehe

Sassy, I've never been that much of a kisser, except to give kisses on the wrist. Usually if I get near a face I'd rather chew on their hair. I have to admit though that lately I have been giving Mom a lot more kisses on her chin. Does anyone else do any hair chewing?

Oh Bug, those up the nose kisses, or in the ear kisses, are the best! Love that noise Mom makes when she's not expecting it. Tee hee hee.

We have Cici's here, too. Didn't realize they were spread out that much. So glad to hear that Blake got the job, and better yet had choices. That had to feel good.

Tink very glad to hear that your mouth must be feeling better. Hope you will get a good report when you go for your followup visit next week. Just to be safe though I think you should get canned food at least once a week (or more often) for the rest of your life. BOL. Think your mom will go for that?

YEA Binx, we're so glad to hear that. We like Cici's, they have good food and not to expensive. We'll have treat to celebrate, YIIPPPEEEE!!!!!

Tink and Vixie, you didn't make mom feel bad, she loves giving people stuff to laugh at, but if it gets her kisses from you guys then you can try all you want. She'll find any excuse for puppy kisses.

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY, ECHO. Yea another treat, this is fun. And we miss you too.

EEWWW, Vixie, a dead rabbit. I bet it did smell very enticing, but it's probably best your dad sent it to it's happy place. And maybe you need to have a chat with the cat, rabbits are cute little things.

Well it was pretty boring here today, mom worked in her office, on the computer, AAAALLLLL day and now she's complaining that her neck hurts. You know what that means....I have to go so she can put heat on it and give it a rest.

See you guys tomorrow :D

Hey there Tink. Yup, it's an all you can eat for $3.99 pizza, pasta, salad, and dessert buffet CiCi's. It's really tasty and you should so check it out while it is $3.99, something about and anniversary is why it's cheaper right now we heard.

What's everyfur up to today?

One in the ear , too Sassy. I love ears. hehe We're heading over to look at your pics, now. We had a surprise yesterday. The cat (we think) left a dead rabbit outside of the gate. Mom was like "ewwwww"....but it smelled facinating. Then dad got rid of it...hmmmmm.....something about fleas and worms....

Sassy....we're sorry if we made your mom feel bad...:(:( give her a few kisses from us...ones up the nose from Bug and then one smack on her kisser from me. :):):) Remember my mom has ones from x-mas she still hasn't done anyhting with. lol
Binx, that is great news about Blake. We have Ci Ci's pizza up here, too. Haven't made it there yet...it's still new, but want to try it. Ours up here is buffet style...is yours down there? Mom likes buffets.
Cheeky, glad to hear your feeling better. I'm letting mom pet my face again, so guess my mouth has healed good. I go to the vet next wed. for my follow up.
Pip, I know exactly what you mean....hehe
Happy gotcha day, Echo...we got some good canned food in honor of it...

Hello everyfur!! We got good news yesterday afternoon!! Blake got a job at a place called CiCi's Pizza. Then today he got another job at Sears but is going to politely decline that one. It is only commission for the beds and vacuums and like that. It is going to be a few weeks before he is on a regular schedule for CiCi's but we are real happy he has a job to start next week. Oh, his new boss gave us a free pizza when he found out that mom and I were sitting in the car waiting for Blake for over two hours. Mom got chicken on it so that I could have some, I sure miss pizza crust though but the chicken was mighty tasty!!

Happy Gotcha Day Echo!! Hope you have a pawsome day! Ok, gotta run for now, mom has to start her linguini with clam sauce for dinner. Have a great day everyfur!! :)

Happy Gotcha Day, Echo! I know you have added a lot to your mom's life.

We're just a little bit early again, but wanted to say

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY, ECHO!!

Sassy, I really would be lost without my fur sibs! In fact Mom got Cheeky because I was lonely and bored and getting into trouble.

I'm with Sassy, Binx. Is there something we should be celebrating? Are you holding out on us? We're always looking for good news and reasons to celebrate.

Abby, I hope you will have a good trip and be back in time for the closing ceremonies. Be safe.

Hey, cheek, I agree with you about the knee thing. I have learned that there are several levels of this knee thing. I guess mine is level 1 or 2 cause it does pop back in. 3 and 4 are worse and it doesn't pop back in, it has to be helped.
Hey, don't worry about my mom she figures if we're having fun at her expense at least she's bringing someone some happiness and if we're laughing at her (which is usually deserved) we're leaving someone else alone. She's usually laughing with us.

Oh, Pip, riff raff....now is that any way to talk about your loving siblings? But I do understand about hiding or hoarding things, sometimes I even have to hide them from mom.

Hey, Abby, have fun up north, we'll miss you till you get back.

Binx, new job, should we be celebrating?

Just popping in to say congrats Binx, on Blakes new job before we head up north. Maybe he can do both. Watch how many more people call. :) Hope to be back for the closing ceremonies. Rumor is Neil Young.

Tink, I've never slept with a ball in my mouth, but I have brought socks to bed as well as pieces of paper that I don't want the rest of the riff raff to get. Tee hee hee.

Almost forgot to answer your question about exercise on the ball, Sassy. I'm afraid we've done it very intermittently. So I'm afraid we don't really know if it's helping. Mom suspects if we would get serious about it and do it on a regular basis it probably would. The idea is to strengthen core muscles, and seems like that certainly wouldn't hurt.

Bug, I agree. If I can't pronounce the problem with my knee, I shouldn't have it. After a couple of days of not even trying to get up on anything I am moving around more today. Still not trying to get up on everything, but getting there.

Sassy, we love the photos! Glad the link worked, and sorry for having some fun at your mom's expense. We know moms do get busy with other things, too! We were just teasing her. Looks like the doglympics were a lot of fun. Love your bling and your booth. You have a nice set up there. You and the Yorkie friends. And speaking of Yorkies, good to see some pics of Lord Pippin. We've seen some before, usually with an outfit on I think. Too cute that all the other pups take off running and he's checking out the field. Hehe. Thank you for sharing the photos.

Denali, I'm glad to hear you don't have cooties. BOL. Pippi warms up to people faster with treats, too. As for me, I don't care if you have treats or not, I'm content for you to keep your distance. Never have I taken the treats they offer at Petsmart. I'm happy for Mom to take it and put it in her pocket until we get safely in the car. Then I'll take it from her. Can you believe that to try and get me over feeling so stressed around people that Mom will pick me up and offer my back end to people to pet?!! I mean really!
