the sun rocks!

So nice and warm on my fuzzy sausage-like body. It's nice just lying here on the window seat that Sara made. I'm also glad Ryan is home because it means I can beg him for treats, especially right after barking at dogs or the mailman. I know Ryan and Sara are upset because Ryan didn't get this job he was hoping to get...(people don't think I can read, but I read the letter he got in the mail) I think everything will be fine. Maybe Ryan can get a job at a doggie store so he can bring me home lots of toys and treats all the time. But if not, he can just lie here with me on the window seat.

Who says all dogs walk on four legs?

Okay, so the picture may be a bit deceiving. Ryan and Sara have been teaching me some more tricks. I'm getting much better, but when other dogs are around I still tend to freak out a lot.

This is me "being tall."

I was also fetching the ball for Ryan but actually giving it back instead of playing keep away...who knew that's what he wanted me to do?

Honestly, people need to be more specific. If he wanted me to give it back, all he had to do was say ArARArArARARrrrrraAAR.

Ryan has been home all this week, which is nice, but I think next week things will be back to before with both of them leaving me at home alone all day.

I hope that funny-looking whippet that moved in next-door isn't staying. He whines a lot and is a lot louder than that other funny-looking chihuahua Napoleon.

back to my nap...arrrararARaraArraarar

weird people

These people came to my house. And they are here with my people drinking beer and they are giving me lots of cookies because i am such a good boy. I show them my tricks and they say i am the best dog ever.

Did you know that people are weird sometimes? But that's okay with me. I like it when they say i'm really great and give me treats, even if it means i need to be very patient with them sometimes.

yummy yummy

oh my goodness oh my goodness i know i usually don't tell two stories in one day but i just have to say that i am very very excited about these super yummy liver treats that ryan made and oh my goodness i'm just so excited that oh my goodness i just want to eat them all of them all at once only ryan and sara won't give them to me all at once oh my goodness i'm so excited these are so very very yummy

picking up sara

Today I took Ryan all the way downtown to pick up Sara from work, and then we walked all the way back home together. I was a really really good boy, even though we saw lots of dogs and skateboards and strangers and buses and other scary things.

In fact, I was such a good boy that Ryan is making me homemade liver treats -- I can hardly wait! In the meantime, I'll just lie here and play with my toys.

napping

As I've already told you, one of my favourite things is napping. I like to nap for most of the morning so that I have lots of energy to run around and play games in the evening when everyone is home.

On weekends, Ryan and Sara often stay home with me in the morning, and sometimes we take naps together. Today I cuddled with Sara on the window seat because she was feeling yucky.

in my kennel

Today i was home alone for the whooooole day.

But I'm a good boy, so I'm sitting in my kennel. I hope that if I sit in my kennel for long enough, Sara will come and give me a treat for being so good.

I never used to like my kennel. At first, I thought it was a scary cage like the ones at the pound were I was for a little while. But then I learned that it's my special space, and now I like to go and sit in there a lot. Especially when I'm trying to be a good boy.

Hopefully Sara will bring me my treats soon...
