NYE update
Okay so we’re having some camera difficulties (ugh … unreliable Aunties) but here’s a brief update so far. Got some running in before I was DITCHED for like 4 hours while the gals when shopping. They forgot to leave a light on for me … it was dark when they got home. NOT COOL.
Luckily they made up it by buying me a new sweatshirt. It’s a hoodie!! And it’s...

I heard a rumour
It sounds like we’re going to see Auntie Kim for a few days!!! I love her backyard almost as much as Nanny Jane’s! yipeeeeeeee
Birthdays rule
Just back from a little romp at Nanny Jane’s and a trip to PetSmart. I got SO many treats. New bones, a lovely duck and sweet potato strip and then a minty fresh breath treat to counteract the duck strips. Also, I was allowed to choose a special dinner and I chose a nice lamb stew. Seems appropriate to have a little comfort food on a cold day, right?
WatchSo there I was, sound asleep, and I heard the heavenly sounds of my favourite commercial. It gets me every time. Here’s the proof! I wish Erin would quit laughing at me.
so.tired.
I can barely muster the energy to type this. I got picked up by Erin today. poor me. No more time at Auntie Hulie’s condo. poor me. No more dog park time, no more time with my cousin Jake. siiiiiigh.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty happy to be back on my own turf. I have spent the day resting either on my own couch or on the back of the big couch. Happiness is….
...
WatchMmmm…. SALMON.
Mom!
You forgot to pack my Christmas sweater!
What the heck am I supposed to wear to dinner tonight?
This is a disaster.
Merry Christmas everyone!
I can’t send you a Christmas photo right now because I am soaking wet and am huddled in a towel on Auntie Hulie’s lap. We went for a loooooong walk this morning and I came back absolutely drenched and filthy so I was forced to have a little rinse in the sink. Auntie Hulie tried to put my orange balloon boots on me before we left but she said that the effort was making her lose the...
I suppose that, if I’m being honest, I’ve been misbehaving a lot today. I’ve ignored most of Auntie Hulie’s requests to sit or come, and I’ve nibbled on just about every piece of poop we’ve come across. I’ve also refused repeatedly to get on the elevator because I’m not done sniffing around in the hallway. In my defense, I didn’t get much...
Auntie Hulie has been bustling around all afternoon. She’s spraying stuff all over the furniture and the floor is wet and it all smells lemony fresh. That’s ok, though, because she is bribing me with treat after treat to stay put on the couch… seems like a fair trade to me.
I wish she’d sit down for a minute. I’m super tired because we went for a marathon walk...
You wanna know a secret?
I totally busted Auntie Hulie on something today.
We went out for a little stroll so I could do my business around twilight today. It was very cold out, so I did my best to be obliging and got to work right away.
Once I was done, Auntie Hulie was fussing and fidgeting with the poo bag, and just generally taking her own sweet time, so I decided to do some wind sprints around her to keep myself...
Cousin Jake, here I come!

Auntie Hulie is sleepy today
And I, for one, am doing my best to let her rest (even though we all know I’m not much of a napper).
After we went for our first walk of the day, we settled in on the couch. I could see that Auntie Hulie’s eyes were starting to get heavy, so I scrambled on top of her and snuggled in as close as I could so that she would be warm and cozy and would know that I would be ok if she...
hee hee
I have a new trick. Except Auntie Hulie doesn’t know it’s a trick.
Any time she tries to put me down or leave me alone for a second I start to cry and jump up on her legs and presto! She picks me right up again! It’s wonderful. I haven’t walked a step all day. I feel like Celine Dion when she renewed her wedding vows and made those men carry her around on a litter all...
I didn't do it, I swear!
I don’t know what’s going on, but Auntie Hulie seems very upset. She is stomping around muttering under her breath things like “I’ll show YOU environmentally friendly!” and “You try to do the right thing, and this is what you get.” We just went to the store and bought a big rubber thing on a stick and some stinky chemicals and now Auntie Hulie is jamming...
WHEW!
Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I am simply exhausted. The last few days have been draining!
Yesterday we went to the dog park with Cousin Jake. It was a little crowded in the pickup truck because we both wanted to sit on Auntie Hulie’s lap, and she did her best to oblige. That’s ok, though. I like Cousin Jake so it was fun to cuddle up.
When we got to the park,...
ok seriously
I’m getting a bit nervous. I was just busy eavesdropping on Erin’s conversation and I distinctly heard the words: “yep, I’ll bring the crate.” As far as I know the only crate around here is mine. Why oh why does my crate have to go somewhere? Why is everything I own in a bag at the front door? I’m freaking out. I’m trying to spend as much time as...
hmmmm
Like I said earlier, something very suspicious is going on around here. Erin says it’s called “procrastinating.” Whatever that is?!?! As far as I can tell it means taking a lot of clothes out and throwing them around the bedroom. Apparently it also means spending lots of time on the phone and the computer.
Now the good news is that I am getting some cool things out of...
I'm getting VERY suspicious
There is a suitcase out on my bed. NONE of my stuff is going in it. In fact, my stuff seems to be collecting in a different bag by the front door. What the heck is going on here?
woooooeeee
Tonight I saw something so cool! Erin and Aunt Stephie got me all bundled up and we went to see the Olympic torch on Yonge Street! Truth be told, it was freezing and a bit overwhelming with all the police lights, and loudspeakers, but I guess it was fun anyways. You know, apparently it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing….those are fun. Guess they don’t know that I had thought about...
Tuesday Night
I’m here visiting Auntie Kim (although Mom tagged along this time) and having a grand ol’ time. It’s been nice and low key. A LOT of napping and romping in the snow and napping. Today we went and did a little shopping downtown … this city is SO much more dog-friendly than Toronto. I was the centre of attention in ALL the stores we went in! Unfortunately the lineup at...
It's back!!!!
Look what Erin FINALLY resurrected from the locker. Do you know how much I love this couch? It’s mine. All mine.
mini spa day
Just back from my pawdicure. Yep, you heard me…pawdicure. A little nail grinding, trimming and a classic ear clean for good measure. Add that in with a romp in Nanny Jane’s untouched snow-heaven backyard and we have a perfect day here folks. Apparently we did all this to kill time while the condo got a little spa treatment too. I’m not convinced about this idea. We came...
man oh man
Yesterday was the perfect snowy day. I could run and romp to my heart’s content without a worry in the world. This morning I expected the same little slice of heaven but NOOOOOOOOOOO. Today was the kind of day where my perfect paws got ambushed by salt. Big, huge, unnecessary pieces of salt thrown around in ungodly amounts all over my hood. I’m so mad and sad. My romp was...
My new favourite place to nap/hide
A while ago Erin got some new bedding (thanks Nanny Jane.) It’s dreamy. I like to go in there when I want some alone time. My favourite thing in the room is this big brown suede pillow. It’s usually propped up a bit which is how I like it. Sometimes I have to work really hard and pull the regular pillows out of the way so I can get to the right one.
yessssssssssssssssssss!!!!!
IT SNOWED!!!! I love snow more than you can imagine. This morning I went crazy. I made a few people on the street stop and watch me because I was having so much fun. Erin said it’s impossible to have a bad morning when you watch me in the snow. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been able to run and roll and snort snow like that. This was the best morning I’ve had in...
hee hee
This morning I woke up feeling a bit, well, feisty. I decided to really mix things up with our routines today. I got up at 8:30 instead of 9. Instead of waking Erin up with kisses, I decided to try a good old fashioned head massage. I used my nice long nails and really gave her some good head scratches. She didn’t seem to enjoy it as much as I thought, considering how often she goes off...
who would have guessed? →
You might be shocked to know that I really really dig gospel music. There’s this one commercial for World Vision that really gets me tilting my head as hard as I can to the crooning voices. I can’t find the exact commercial, but it turns out Elvis sings this song too. I can’t get enough. Wherever I am in the condo, if this commercial comes on, it stops me dead in my tracks. ...
Enough is enough
So, with all this time spent at home with boring old Erin I’ve had to take some drastic measures to be sure she knows that I’m the one in charge here. For instance, I have officially decided that we will not, under any circumstances, get up earlier than 9am. Nope, not one minute before that, and sometimes up to an hour after that. I need my rest, and with her home ALL day I...
