These are the pictures of me with my Funny Bone. Mom’s friend Mutchy (Lola’s mom) said Lola wanted to give me a present so she decided to give me her Funny Bone. I love it! It’s just my size and it screams when I bite it … I love screaming toys! I played it with on the couch all night when mom gave it to me. I especially liked the scent because it was like Lola was right here with me! I’ve never met Lola but I know I’ll recognize her now when I see her because I have her scent memorized! So thanks for the great present Lola! Mom asked me if I wanted to give Lola a present so I told mom to give Lola that Big BoBo I got for Christmas. It was SO BIG that I didn’t see how I could even play with it … I guess mom thought I was a Great Dane or a Mastiff or something when she bought that huge BoBo. I should never let mom go shopping at PetCo by herself because she obviously doesn’t know how to buy toys that I would play with! I hope Lola can play with the BoBo … mom says she thinks Lola likes bigger toys that she can drag around so this would be perfect for her. I like little toys that I can hold in my mouth and carry around because I like to pretend they’re my puppies and I’m taking care of them like a good mommy.

We’re so happy that the weather is a little nicer now and maybe that icky winter has ended. We’ve been getting out for little walks this weekend and we luv our walks! We haven’t seen many silly squirrels or silly rabbits yet but pretty soon they’ll be everywhere!

So everybody think spring! And chicken sticks! I promise not to step in any mud puddles today mom if you give me a chicken stick right now! I’ve been a good girl all morning so I know I deserve an extra chicken stick today!

Kismet & Bun Bun

Hi everybody! Can you even believe it? Mom took ANOTHER picture of me for my blark!  That’s two times in a row!  This is me with my new favorite toy, Bun Bun. I used to love ‘Roo best but he got so old and chewed up and he doesn’t even scream anymore when I bite his butt so he’s not nearly as much fun as he was when he was new. Bun Bun still screams really loud when I bite him just right. In this picture, I was pretending Bun Bun was my baby puppy and when mom was teasing me about taking my puppy away, I gave her “The Look”.  Mom usually gets the hint right away when I give her that special Doxie glare and leaves my Bun Bun alone!

Guess what else … It was 65 wonderful degrees today and mom took us out for a walk in the muddy mud after she got home from her icky job … that was so much fun! Mattie and I splashed through the mud puddles and ran around in the muddy wet grass … we ran around and sniffed everything in sight and somethings that weren’t in sight at all!  Sniffing the ground is just like reading the newspaper is to humans because we find out all the things that have been happening in our community during the winter!

We even saw some silly squirrels but they were too far away to chase. I scoped out their territory though so when it’s not so muddy, I’m going to make mom take us over there so I can catch one of those silly squirrels and tear it apart!

Mom showed me the new slide show Mutchy helped Lola make and it’s on Lola’s blog. I think it shows off Lola’s sassy side to perfection … everybody needs to go to Lola’s blog right now and watch the little slide show. It makes me proud to be a Doxie just like Lola!

Now I’m going to tell mom it’s time to go to bed because I want my chicken stick!

I know you’ve all been wondering why I haven’t barked lately and I’m gonna tell you … it’s because my lazy mom wouldn’t take some new pictues of me. I told her I WAS NOT going to bark in my blark until she took some pictures and I stuck to my Doxie guns. So tonight she got the camera — oh, big deal, mom, it was on the table right next to the couch — and took a couple of pictures of me and even took some of Mattie too.

This is my elegant profile

So this is my favorite one … it shows off my profile to perfection. You can see I was trying to look very poised and sophisticated here and of course that’s exactly how it turned out. I even have a little smile on my Doxie lips because I knew I looked so totally fine … or “fly” as the contemporary saying goes. I’m a Doxie that looks very “fly”. I’m so glad mom got this great shot of me because a few minutes later, when I’d relaxed a little bit and didn’t think she was going to be taking any more pictures — I mean, really, she doesn’t take pictures for three months and then she can’t put the camera away? How could I know she was going to take a few candid shots too — she took some pictures of me that I’m not totally in love with … I think she could have at least warned me that she still had the camera in her hands.

My ho-dog pose

I was thinking I deserved a tummy rub after that great picture she took of me and just as I was getting into prime position for the impending rub-fest, FLASH, there was another picture being taken. I was so unhappy that I almost didn’t let mom rub my tummy after that but then I regained my senses … I mean, I need every tummy rub I can get so I couldn’t let one get away.  Mom laughs at this picture of me and says I look like a ‘ho dog … I don’t know what that even means but I’m sure it’s a great compliment because I AM a Doxie after all … I still think Mutchy’s picture of Lola with her nose in the flower was a lot nicer than the pictures mom took of me but I guess I should just be happy I finally have some new pictures. One of these days when mom’s at her icky job I’m going to call Mutchy myself and tell her I want HER to take some pictures of me.  That’ll show my silly mom!

Mattie & the Ghost Dogs

This is one of the pictures of Mattie that mom took tonight. Mom said Mattie would feel bad if I didn’t let her have a picture in my blark too so I said it was okay. Mattie’s not nearly as cute as I am so I don’t mind if she has a picture in my blark now and then. Mom was really surprised when she saw the picture because it clearly shows the “ghost dogs” mom says are in our house … mom says she’s pretty sure this is conclusive proof that our house has dog spirits living here. She’s going to call the Ghost Dog Whisperer tomorrow and maybe the picture will be on the cover of the National Enquirer soon (because inquiring minds want to know) and we’ll all be very famous. Of course mom says we’ll never forget all the little people who helped us get where we will be soon … rich and famous. I’m going to make sure mom knows that all the credit for our impending fame and riches goes to ME because if I hadn’t insisted mom take pictures of me, she wouldn’t have gotten that once-in-a-lifetime shot of Mattie and the ghost dogs! Once again, it’s a Doxie victory!

So I’m pretty sure I’m owed at least TWO chicken sticks tonight … it’s going to be a very good night!
