I'M STILL ALIVE!

Hello, pups!
LONG time no-post!
It's almost been a year!

Don't get too excited; I'm pretty sure I'm not coming back to blogging for good....I just thought I'd drop in to let you know that I'm still living :P!
I've been doing good...I'm turning a little gray around the edges, but I'm still mischevious.
Why, just tonight I stole half a coffee cake off the counter while the humans were out of the house and ate it.
And for good measure, I ate 1/2 a cup of my food that was on the counter.

I have no shame.

In spring I got allergies again, and lost the hair on my ears and it was terrible....but now I get fish oil pills wrapped in salami a lot, and that helps me. My ears are all soft again.

I play with my human brother's dog a lot. Sasha; she stayed with us for 3 weeks in August. She's fun to play with; I only get a little jealous of her sharing half my bed.

I'm all decked out for Halloween; see my color? And my bandanna? That was from the groomers last week. I came back smelling like coconut.

Well...I hope all you doggies are doing ok! I love ya all :).

I'm Still Alive

Hello, Pups! I have no excuse for not having posted since Mommy's day...All I can say is that I'm sorry. I am still alive, just have been too lazy to slide myself into the computer chair and make a post.
I DO have to wish my human Mom a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You're another year older! YEY! ;-) I hope you have a wonderful day, and I'll try not to roll in smelly stuff and get dirty, just for today...and, what the heck, I'll through tomorrow in, too, for good measure.

I'm sorry to say it guys, but I think I have to kind of quit this blog. I'm not deleting it, but don't expect a post often. I'm sorry to do this to you...but I have to. I'll still post sometimes, and I'll read your blogs...

Sorry I Was Gone

I am back, dear puppies! I'm so very sorry that I haven't been on---in truth, I've been lazy, with spring being here now, I've been running away, making my mom drive around looking for me, making people angry, all the jazz, you know? It's a ton of fun. Anyway, on Monday this past week I went and the vet took out my stitches, so no more lampshade, no more painful paw. All that's left for evidence of my procedure is some shaved off hair. I've been living the life lately, like I said. I've also been dutifully chasing the cats, going on walks...which, by the way, aren't as fun anymore because my mom won't let me off the leash because I 'run away'...I don't get it, humans can go wherever they like to go, and no one stops them, far as I know, which isn't very far, I guess. Maybe it's because dogs don't bother to go to a room designated for going potty, and my mom doesn't want me to 'litter' on other people's property...I guess I could understand that...I guess....

The first picture is of me in a stream at our house. They are flowing wonderfully, and I'm planning an attack for one of the next hot days---I lay down in the stream and make mom totally mad...even if I'm on the leash, I can still cause trouble. Brilliant, huh? Especially since she payed money for me to get a bath at the vet...I'm just awesome...anyway, the second is taken today, yes, today, very recent, of me rolling in the clean, cool grass. I <3>

Playing with Tennis Ball

Spring, Yogurt, and Big, Canvas Boxes

I'm here, doggies! Sorry I take so long to post! You CANNOT imagine how hard it is to get my human off the computer! But now she's off, for a minute, so I have a bit to post. First of all, Happy Spring! Spring has sprung here in our neck of the woods. We had some snow last Sunday, but it melted quick. The first picture is of me in our stream. Now that all this snow melted, we have a big stream and lots of little streams everywhere. I don't like swimming in big bodies of water, but I like the shallow stream! The second is of....*sniff*, canvas boxes. That's what they look like to me, anyway...I think they're called bags in real life, but I'll call them canvas boxes. Anyway, I know that whenever my humans get those out, I smell trouble. Whenever they come out they put tons of stuff in them, and then one morning I hop in the car, eager for a ride, but we end up at the vet's office. Yup, I think I have a kennel visit ahead of me. This happened last year, too. They went off to some warm place called Florida, and left me here to suffer. Can you believe it?! Plus, I heard that not only am I staying at the kennel, I'm getting 'surgery'. *GASP!* What is surgery? I don't think it's that nice...something about a bump on my leg that's getting bigger...anyway, the vet people are taking the little bump off my leg, and then I have to wear a-a---a cone! DOUBLE GASP! Holy wiener schnitzel! OH MY GOSH! To show all you doggies what a cone is, I borrowed a picture from another site. Here it is:

Terrible, isn't it?! I'm quite worried...but yogurt is good. That's the last picture. My mom finished a container of yogurt, and put it on the ground and said "Abby, do you like yogurt?". I was like HOLY CANOLI! I didn't even know what it was, but if my mom puts it on the ground, I'm not dumb enough to turn away from it! So that's me eating yogurt. Anyway, I have to go, I think tomorrow is the day I got the the vet's...*sigh*....I heard a rumor of a bath afterward...You'll see pictures when I get back, which is (according to my scribe) next Wednesday, the twenty-third. Talk to you then, puppers!

Actually, just so you know, my kennel does come with free Internet access, so I will be on to comment to you guys, but I can't post because they don't have pictures. :)

P.S..OH GOLLY, GOLLY, GOLLY, I just looked at Ben's post, and I have to let you guys know, I have a new boyfriend named Ben...I like to call him Benny. He's sweet, and handsome...and HE won't quit blogging, like my exboyfriend, Boomer, did. :D Talk to you soon!
