Boy do I miss my Mom ....

Hey dog friends. My Mom is gone. My Dad came back yesterday and I ran out to the car to find her but she was not there. I am happy to have my Dad back but I really miss my Mom.

Dad tells me that Mom is taking care of Hershey's Mom and Hershey's baby. He says she has lots of pictures of the baby and she would love to show them to you but she wants to give Hershey's Mom and Dad that privilege. Dad says the baby weighed just he right amount and is doing really well. Mom wants to show you the blanket she worked very hard to make for the baby. She even made an "M" in the blanket for Miriam.

I am sorry we missed the cheese thing this weekend. I love cheese. I hope you all got some cheese.

Where are they???

Hey dog friends. I don't know where my Mom is. She has been gone for a day or so. I miss her soooo much. I wonder when she is coming home?


I had a VERY exciting day today though. I went to work with Miss Cindy and I didn't even have to get my temperature taken or get a shot! I helped her take care of some dogs and cats and I even got to watch her do a C-Section on a beagle. She had eight healthy puppies! I stood on a desk and watched her deliver the puppies though a window. Miss Cindy has been taking good care of me. How lucky am I to have a neighbor who is a vet and will take care of me when my Mom is gone. She even smells wonderful.

Speaking of deliveries, Mom has this news. Hershey's baby came today and here is a picture of her with my Mom and Dad. The baby is fine. Her name is Miriam. I bet Hershey can't wait to smell her.

How dogs can be GREEN .....

I over heard that it was Earth Day the other day. Then yesterday I heard them talking on the TV about saving the environment and being green. Even though my Mom says she is old enough to remember another time when people were frantic about the environment and she is not worried too much about it right now, I have decided us dogs are doing our part. I have been thinking about it and here are ten things us dogs naturally do that help.

1. We don't use toilet paper, not even one square.
2. We add valuable nutients back into the grass.
3. We drink out of our water bowl without washing it over and over again.
4. We don't wear clothes that have to be washed over and over and over.
5. We don't waste water taking a lot of baths ..... ghesh ... I hate baths.
6. We help clean up kitchen spills, so people don't have to use paper towels or nasty chemicals.
7. We don't shop and bring home things in plastic bags.
8. We don't eat chocolate that is from beans picked in the wrong places.
9. We eat kleenex instead of throwing them in the landfill.
10. We don't turn on lights to bark.

Can you think of some more things?

P.S. I am definately losing in the Awesome Blog Award Contest. The other dogs must have snappier blogs than me. But, it's OK because Hershey's baby will be here soon and pretty soon I will be an UNCLE. Stay tuned .... I will tell you all about it as soon as it happens.

I have FOUR votes !!!!!!!!!

WOW! Hana nominated me for April's Awesome Blog Award over at Dogs With Blogs. Hana is one of my girlfriends. She is so pretty and white .... and she gave me this beautiful collar. Hana, since I am a boy dog, I feel more manly if I call it a collar.

I GOT A PRESENT !!!!!

Hey, guess what! I got a present today from my best peepol friend Miss Cindy. She is my next door neighbor and a vet and she gave me a PRESENT! This is what it is.

My Mom tells me it is toothpaste and toothbrushes! Wow, I did not have any toothpaste or toothbrushes ........but now I do. Mom let me taste the toothpaste tonight on her finger, it was yummy! She told me it is supposed to taste like Filet Mignon ..... which some of you dogs may have tasted ..... I never have so I can't say. But tust me .... it is yummy. Mom says I get to taste it everyday! Wow.

Do you think I am going to like it a lot, dog friends?

It even had a sticker for the fireman that Mom put in the front window that tells them I live here. Wow! You can get one of these presents for yourself right here. You can watch how it works here. Do you think I am going to like it?

I'm just going to catch my nail in this ....

My Mom made something today that made her really happy. She planted a herb garden in my yard the other week and along with the herbs, she planted a tomato plant for my Dad. My Mom hates tomato plants. She loves tomatoes and cooks with them all the time, but she hates the plants. They grow tall and ugly and you have to support them with ugly tomato cages. She really hates the tomato cages more than she hates the tomato plants. But Daddy likes to grow tomatoes and so she was nice and bought him a plant.

Today she went to a gardening center and looked at things to hold the plant up. She found one really nice black thing like you would put in a large pot, it is like a tall wire pyramid. She really liked it and wanted to buy it but it was $25 and she did not want to spend $25 on this tomato plant. But from looking at the tall black thing, she got an idea and brought home a tall tomato cage and made this.

She used a saw and took off the top ring of the tomato cage so that it would have new legs when she turned it upside down. Then she gathered the real legs together and wrapped them with copper wire to hold them together. Then she bent the old legs down for decoration and so she wouldn't bend over it and poke her eye out.

The trouble is, I am going to get caught in it and break a nail.
