Christmas Eve is exhausting
Whoa. Guelph really tires me out. I can barely keep my eyes open around here. There is this massive tree with coloured lights on it that is in the way of my favourite perch. To be honest, I think the tree might have looked better with white lights, but what do I know, it’s my first time. There are lots of shiny boxes under the tree. I happened to notice that a few have my name on it,...
No time to blog this morning.
I am savouring my last moments with Auntie Hulie.
zzzzzz
I was too tired last night to update my blog. Auntie Hulie and I went on a long walk to Yonge and Bloor. I was SUCH a good girl and I wore my boots the entire time! The only problem is that, as you know, I don’t really know how to walk in my boots yet. I can only leap and gallop. This meant that on the way home I got verrrrry tired from all that strenuous activity. When we hit Avenue...
Blind item
What foxy diva, who looks rad in plaid, has relatives concerned that she may have a split personality? Usually sweet and docile, she becomes a whole new dog when going for walks. Emboldened by her fabulous footwear, she gallops through Yorkville, pouncing on unsuspecting shoppers as they walk by.
Such a big day!
Today was a very exciting day!! I went on my first subway ride!
Auntie Hulie woke me up at 5.30 again this morning to go out and do my business. I wasn’t in the mood and took my own sweet time to get around to it. While we were out, Auntie Hulie pointed out to me that yesterday’s rain had frozen and that everything was very icy. She then gave me a loooong lecture about the evils...
Uh oh - update.
Sadly, Auntie Hulie succumbed to the ear infection today. She was very busy doing work all day but still managed to take me on some very good walks. I love walking through the Annex and looking at the beautiful old homes. I especially love walking on Huron and Madison. I don’t, however, really like walking on Bloor. Today we went for a looooong walk on Bloor and I finally just got to...
Uh oh
Auntie Hulie thinks she might be coming down with an earache.
Nap time
Great Uncle Ernie has just settled in for an afternoon snooze. There is a big snowstorm coming and he needs to rest up. Cousin Jake, good faithful companion that he is (and never one to miss an opportunity for a bit of a nap) decided that he needed a rest too, so he jumped up on the bed. I didn’t want to be left out, so I hopped up on the bed too and snuggled up against Jakey’s...
Poor Auntie Hulie
She is very, very stressed.
Apparently she thought I was kidding when I told her that I didn’t want to be left alone this week! She was very sneaky and tried it again yesterday.
I was very suspicious when I saw her put her coat on, and then start to smear peanut butter all over my Kong and my bones. Then I saw her gather up my new squeak toy and my bear and put them in the kitchen near my...
Watch…are fantastic! Look how fast I can run in them! Even after I’ve kicked two of them off!
WatchI couldn’t walk in them at all… the only thing I could manage was some high kicks.

Auntie Hulie and I just got back from the pet store. I’ve wanted to go in ever since I got to Hulie’s place. I can smell all the food and treats inside!
Auntie Hulie was worried because I kept lifting my paws up every time we went for a walk. I knew that I just liked the attention, but she was worried that salt was getting inside my paws, so we went and got me some new boots. ...
Queen Roxy
Here are some things I like to do these days:
The second that Auntie Hulie sits down at the table to do some work, I insist that she lets me sit in her lap. I won’t have it any other way. No lap, no work. Period.
To reward her for being such a good loyal subject, I like to take a nap while on her lap. My positioning is very precise. I must be curled up with my head facing the balcony,...
Soooooo much smarter than Auntie Hulie
Apparently, my attempt to convince Auntie Hulie to never leave me alone wasn’t quite as successful as I thought. She foolishly tried it again! She had to pop downstairs for somthing and tried to put me in the kitchen with all of my toys and my bed and my food and my water and a bone covered in peanut butter to keep me busy. She told me that she would be back in five minutes, tops. Then...
If you thought Auntie Kim was a sucker, get a load...
This morning I overheard Auntie Hulie on the phone saying that she was going to leave me at home alone for an hour as a test run while she went grocery shopping. She said that she was worried that I would be upset when she went to work on Monday. I am certainly not interested in spending one minute away from Auntie Hulie so I did my best to make her feel absoutely wretched when she left. I...
WatchCousin Jake’s head is as big as my whole body.
WatchI’m glad Jakey didn’t play like this with me.
WatchAuntie Hulie put on my favourite song and then Jaker and I busted a move.
Auntie Hulie is the BEST!
I think that today has been the best day of my life. I’ve had SUCH a good time! Auntie Hulie and I have been on all kinds of adventures… I don’t even miss Mom!
First Auntie Hulie and I went for a car ride. I supervised from the front seat and dj’ed for us while Auntie Hulie drove. Auntie Hulie wouldn’t tell me where we were going because she said it was a...
