Christmas is here!!

Hello everyone! Well, Christmas is almost here and my birthday just passed. I turned 8 years old on Tuesday and my Mom surprised me with a trip to the vet. To have my teeth cleaned, of all things. UGH!! I don't think she did it on purpose, you see, she was looking at my papers a few weeks ago and realized that all these years she had my birthday wrong. She would always wish me a happy birthday on the 17th of December, but it is actually the 20th. Silly girl!! Anyway, My teeth are nice and clean although I did hear the vet tell my Mom I was going to need to have one of my canine teeth removed within a year because it doesn't look good. It looks ok though, but there is this one teeny brown spot and really it's more like a tan color. I know my Mom and she will make sure it is taken care of. When I got home from the vet's office I was still a little loopy from the anesthesia. Murdock was very happy to see me and wouldn't leave me alone. My Mom had to put me in Murdock's crate so I would be able to rest...only I didn't rest. So she put Murdock in there for awhile. By the time I woke up the next morning, my head was clear. My Mom's been on vacation this week so Murdock and I have spent a lot of time together. I'll be honest, Murdock and I don't mind Mom being home, but we like to sleep too. But we don't get to sleep as much when she's home. I heard a rumor that Dad is off work next week so no sleep for us for another week. It's worth it though because I love my Mom and Dad!! I should get going for now. I'm getting sleepy. I'll try and post again soon. If not, have a very Merry Christmas!! Peace out my peeps!!

A dog and a possum

I don't know how many of you know how a possum protects itself, so I will tell you. When a possum feels like he is in danger, he simply plays dead. The animal preying on him leaves him alone because most preying animals are not interested in an already dead animal. our story begins....
once upon a time, there was this chocolate lab named Bella. Bella was almost 9 years old and had a brother names Marty who just turned one. Marty was a terror to Bella. he would jump on her, he would run at her and tackle her and he would constantly lick her ears. Bella dealt with this for about 10 months and had it. She just wanted her brother to leave her alone. So she got on the internet while her parents were at work, to learn about protection. What she learned was amazing. She could not believe how smart possum were for being so nasty looking. Bella decided that the next time Marty "attacked" her, she would play dead. Fast forward a few days, she sees Marty eyeing her and she knew what was coming. She was already lying down and the minute he started towards her, she flopped over on her side and "played dead". Marty stopped for a second and looked at her like "what the....". He went up to her and started sniffing her and realized that she was alive. Marty has a keen sense of smell. Once this happened, Bella knew she was in trouble. Now, when she does it, because she still tries, Marty sits in her. Bella is hoping that one day he just won't do it. Until then, she'll keep trying. Her parents have caught on and realize what she is doing and still try to "zap" Marty when he does this.
The moral of the story is to never give up and pray that your parents also have a shock collar!!

I hope you enjoyed my story. Love you all! Peace out!!

Just a bunch of stuff....

G'day all my followers! I know you've missed me!! Haha. So, what has happened lately? Well, first of all this damn time change crap. Seriously? On Sunday, Murdock and I are waiting for our food because, well, the sun was in the spot it normally is when we are fed, and Mom and Dad were looking at us like we were crazy. If I could speak, I would have said HELLO MCFLY!! They told us that we still had an hour to wait and then it hit me.... That was why Mom went around Saturday night changing the clocks! It's kind of nice because it is lighter earlier in the morning so on the days Mom works, it's not dark out for us anymore. But, by the time Mom and Dad get home, it is sooo dark!! I'm going to change the subject now because I thought of something else. Haha. So, remember how I told you all about Murdock's "get in your house" command? Well, I've been secretly trying to train Murdock as well!! Haha. What I do is I go in his crate because whenever I do, he follows me in there. (imagine how tight it is for both of us in there)...anyway... Once he's in there And starts to leave, I say to I'm "wait, Mom and Dad told you to go to your house so you have to stay in here". But he hasn't bought it yet. He says "whatever...they did not" and he runs out and turns around and sticks his tongue out at me!!! Little jerk!! But, what he DOES do is go in there willy hilly when no one tells him and just sits there. What is up with that? I'm beginning to think this dog has a problem with authority!! Time for some tough love!!! More later!! Peace out my peeps!!!

November...already?

Helle friends...it's been just about a week since I checked in last and so much is going on. First of all, Murdock is back to normal. Good and bad for me. Good because I do have a heart and am honestly happy he is feeling better. Bad because duh, he's back to normal. Which means, he's back to bothering the crap out of me. I'm back to hanging out under tables again. Why kids ask their parents for a baby brother or sister is beyond me. They must be only children and just don't know. I doubt that a child that already has a sibling ever asks for another one!! Wow...got a little off track there. Haha. So pretty much the weekdays are the same for me so nothing new there. Today my Mom and Dad went to a going away party for Chuck. I met Chuck a couple of times and he even came to let me and Sheensta out before. I think he's a great guy! Anywho...my Mom told me that Zackery Wood LOVES my blog so I want to give a shot out to my first fan!! Whasssss up my man?? I met Zack before too. I went to one of his baseball games last year. I don't think it's very fair taking a dog to a baseball game with all these balls being thrown around. Hello people...I'm a dog and want to fetch. There I go getting sidetracked... Haha. My Mom has said before that Zack Wood reminds her a lot of her nephew (my cousin) Zackery Condon. Zack Wood will send cookies or brownies and stuff with his Mom (Aunt Candace) to work for my Mom. My Mom just loves it. It always makes her day. I can't bake so I can't do that for my Mom so I'm very happy that Zack does. Well, I'm going to go for now. Murdock's snoring is making me sleepy!! Peace out my peeps!!

Doctor Visit

I wake up this morning, like any other morning, drink some water go to the bathroom and wait for my Mom to give me some food.  Instead of food, she gives me my medicine.  I'm waiting patiently but nothing.  Murdock didn't even get any food.  So, I begin to think something is going on.  I look at her and wag my tail like a maniac and all she says is "I can't give you any food yet."  What the hell does that mean?  I am dying here!  I need my food...I'm beginning to feel weak.  A few hours pass and my brother is outside and my Mom grabs her purse and says "Let's go".  I think WOOHOO I get to go for a car ride.  Perhaps to the pet store.  I love going there!!!  We're driving, driving, driving and we get to wherever we are going.  I know the minute I am by the door ... I'm at the VET'S office!!  I was BAMBOOZLED!!  I hate going to the vet's office because I always have to get on the scale and the little office guy has ther NERVE to announce my weight.  Doesn't he know that ladies do not divuldge their weight to anyone?  He was very lucky that there wasn't a soul in the waiting room or I would have taken a chunk out of his ~ YOU KNOW ~ !!  HAHA  J/K!!  We go to the "exam room" and wait and this lady comes in talks to my Mom and they take me away.  I was there to get some blood drawn so they could test my thyroid (I'm used to this), I got a mani-pedi as well.  I have this "lump" on my chest and my Mom freaks out about it.  It's only because my older brother JD (I didn't know him) and my sister Sheensta both had these "lumps".  Theirs ended up being cancerous.  I understand how why my Mom gets that way because she doesn't want anything bad to happen to me.  The vet checked it out and said that it's soft and it moves so it is most likely a fatty tumor (again with the weight thing), but they measured it so they could keep an eye out.  I could feel my Mom breath a sign of relief.  My Mom had to talk to the vet about Murdock too.  This is gross ~ but he's been having some, how can I put this nicely, "intestinal" issues the last couple of days.  To the point that I WILL NOT stand behind him until I know he is feeling better.  You never know what could happen!  Anyway, the vet told Mom what to do (I stopped listening because remember, I haven't eaten yet and I wanted to get home so I could get some grub) and off we went.  We got home, I got some of my food, Murdock got some rice and Dad gave me some too!!  And then it was naptime!!  I hope Murdock feels better soon.  I don't like what is going on and have NEVER, and I mean NEVER seen anything like THAT!!  Time for me to nap some more!  Peace out my peeps!!

Been a while.....

Hello my friends! It has been a while since I've been able to blog. My Mom has been pretty busy at work lately. I miss her! But tonight she said we could do this so I have a lot to catch up on. Let's see....this past weekend was the big Notre Dame vs USC game. For whatever reason, Mom and Dad get so hyped up about it. They had a bunch of people over, including "Drunk Pat". Haha. He's a USC fan and they always watch the game together. Well, the game did not end well for the Fighting Irish, sad to say. But, there is always next year. It was my brother's first ND/USC game. As much as i was hoping he would be bad and banished to his "house" the majority of the night, that did not happen. He was pretty well behaved. SHOCKER!!! Haha. He did leave me alone for the most part because there were so many people there. when Mike was cooking sausages, Murdock and I kept hanging by the grill to lick all the grease that was splattering on the ground. Mom kept shocking Murdock and pulling me away saying "you guys are going to get sick", but we never did so I will do it again!! Haha. This week I have Ben stealing toilet paper like no ones business!! I used to do this when I was younger and forgot how much fun it is. Well, that's about all that is going on around here! g'night my Peeps!!!
