I cannot even believe what happened today … mom went to her human daughter’s house and left Mattie and me at home! I’m distraught! She didn’t even tell us she was going although right before she left she looked at us and asked us if we wanted to go with her or if we wanted to stay home and take naps in her bed … I remember I Iifted up my ears a little bit and looked at her and waited for her to tell us where she was going but she didn’t even say the word “Scooby” … if she had I would have run down the stairs so fast and been waiting at the door to get in the car and go with her! She just looked out the window at the torrential downpout and then said she thought we’d be happier just staying home because it was so rainy and muddy out there. She was gone a few hours — which is like a day in dog time — and when she came back I could smell Scooby and Harley everywhere! Mom took some pictures of Scooby and Harley and I told her that she had to put them on my blark so at least I could see them again and I wanted everybody else to see them too .. so here they are:

Looks like mom only got one picture of my boyfriend Scooby, the Min Pin, and lots of pictures of his little brother, Harly the Chihuahua … wassup with that??  Oh, and then she had to take a picture of one of those stoopid cats that live in the house with my boyfriend.

Mom says this stoopid cat’s name is Sprout and he’s a Himalayan cat. Well geez, mom I could have figured THAT out by myself … just look at this picture, anyone can see that him alayin’ … Sometimes I don’t think mom realizes how smart I really am!

So obviously mom had lots of fun without us today but when she got home she said she was glad we didn’t come along because it was so cold and rainy that we wouldn’t have had any fun anyway … she says we’ll all go down to the farm again when it’s warm and sunny outside. She didn’t even walk through the mud to see her horse Allee today or the little mini donkey Joker because it was so rainy, so we know she’ll go down again sometime soon.  Mom can only go so many days without getting her fix of horse smells — which includes horse poop smells! Yum …

So now it’s almost bedtime and you all know what that means … chicken sticks!  In about ten minutes I’m going to be chowing down so it’s Roger and Out! Kismet has left the blark!

OMD you guys, I just have to tell you what a fun time Mattie and I had last Friday night!

Actually Friday didn’t really start out to be so much fun since it was the day for our annual visit to the Puppy Doctor.  Mattie and I had to have our blood test for Heartworm and then mom told them to give us something new called “Bordatella” which they put right up our nostils. I always stand real still when we go to the Puppy Doctor because I’ve figured out that the more quiet I am, the quicker they’ll let me go back to lay in mom’s arms so I was just as good as I could be but Mattie hates everything about the Puppy Doctor and she was real wiggly as always.  But we finally got done and then we went home and took real long naps because we were so tired from being poked and prodded … we had no idea of the fun time mom had planned for us that night!

Mom took us for a little walk in the afternoon and she was telling us that we going to “go see Lola” … I didn’t know who Lola was but I knew we were going somewhere fun so I did my business real fast and led the way back to the house. Mattie hasn’t quite figured out that when mom says “go see …. ” that something fun is going to happen so she took a little longer but when we got back to the house, mom put the crates in the car and told us to jump in. I thought maybe we were going to see my boyfriend Scooby but mom hadn’t said “Scooby” so I didn’t really know where we were headed. We drove off in a different direction than we usually do so I was sitting in my crate and I kept asking mom where we were going … she just kept telling me that we’d be there soon. When we stopped, I didn’t know where we were but mom let us out of the car and there I saw Lola for the first time! She looks a lot like me except she’s black and tan but she’s really cute just like me so I liked her right away. Mattie liked her too and we were all friends right then! Then we got to go into Lola’s house and Mattie and I ran all around looking at her toys and we got to see where Lola sleeps and everything. Lola has a very nice house and Mattie & I liked visiting her. Lola’s mom and dad, Mutchy and Mr Mutchy, were really nice to us and let us jump on the furniture and look out the windows and I even had to bark a little bit now and then. Then mom gave Lola, Mattie, and me each a chicken stick. I don’t think Lola has ever had a chicken stick before because she grabbed hers with all her teeth and tried to swallow it whole! Mutchy had to open her mouth and take the chicken stick out and cut it into little pieces so Lola wouldn’t choke on it. I’ve never seen anybody eat a chicken stick like that! Even Scooby at least chews it up a little bit before he swallows it … I think Mutchy needs to get Lola chicken sticks all the time now so she’s learns how to eat them!

Then mom moved our crates into the Mutchmobile and we all went for another ride with Mr Mutchy driving. When we stopped this time, we were at a place called Scoopy Poo’s Dog Haus and as soon as I got out of the Mutchmobile, I could tell there were lots of dogs there and I started barking and barking. We went into the Dog Haus and there were other little dogs running around and playing with each other! I’d never seen so many other dogs in one place before! There was even a real BIG dog — mom said it was a Burmese Mountain Dog — and he was just hanging out with the little dogs and having fun with us. Mom took our leashes off and we checked out all the other dog butts and they did the same with us. Mattie and I were in total Meet ‘n Greet mode so we went all over and met everybody … once in awhile I had to let one or the other of the dogs know who was really in charge of the room (that would be ME) but once I got them to move a step or two away from me I turned around with my little smug smile and went off to check out some other doggies. Lola was a little shy and stayed close to Mutchy but once in awhile she came out for a little bit to see what was going on too.  Mom and Mutchy and Mr Mutchy sat in chairs and watched us play and even had a beer so they were having fun too!

Then Mattie and I went to the photography room and a nice lady was there taking pictures of us. I didn’t like standing where she wanted me to stand and Mattie was so wiggly as usual that we weren’t quite as cooperative as mom had hoped we would be for the picture taking. But the nice lady took a few pictures of us and then we went back into the playroom for a little while.  Then mom put our leashes back on and we ran back to the Mutchmobile and got back in our crates for the ride back to Lola’s house. We were really tired and slept most of the way although once in awhile I thought I should be riding on mom’s lap instead of in the crate and I told her so!

We were really happy to get back to our own house that night because we’d had such a big day! We went right to sleep after mom went to bed and didn’t even ask for a Dingo Bone that night. (We still got our usual bedtime chicken stick of course because some things are just too important to forget!) We were even still tired the next day and mom laughed at us because we were sleeping so much!

Mom told us that the pictures that the nice lady took of us are on line now and mom says that ALL of Lola’s pictures look beautiful but there is only one or two of me that she likes and she says there’s one of Mattie who is laughing right at the camera with her eyes closed that is real funny. If she buys any of the pictures I’m going to make her put them on this blark so everyone can see them!

So that was our exciting weekend … I hope we get to go to more playdays with other little dogs sometime and I hope we get to see Lola lots more times too!

Now it’s bedtime and chicken stick time! Everyone have a great week!

Little BoBo and Me

This is the latest picture mom took of me … My friend Lola sent me another present … A little BoBo!  (Thank Lola for me, Mutchy) I really like the little BoBo but of course my silly mom had to take the picture of me when I was SO BUSY chewing my Dingo Bone that I wasn’t really paying much attention to little BoBo right at the very moment. PLUS she caught me in mid-gnaw so my mouth looks very stoopid. Mom laughs at me but I don’t think she should even have put this picture in my blark! One of these days I’m going to take a picture of mom when she looks stoopid (how about right now, mom … you look pretty stoopid right now I think with flat hair and no makeup and just flopped on the couch … BOL!) and I’m going to put the picture in HER blog so everybody and their dog can laugh at HER for a change!

A little good news: We’ve actually been able to get out for little walks now and then so the days are much more fun now when mom’s home. We’ve been spotting some silly squirrels off in the distance but we haven’t gotten close enough to even chase one yet, let alone catching it and tearing it apart! We did see one run up a tree that was very near us today but by the time we got there the silly squirrel was all the way up in the tree and I swear I could hear it laughing at us! I hate that! But we know where he’s living now so the next time we get out there, we’ll know just where to look for that silly squirrel!

Ok, we’re off to bed and chicken stick land … hurry up, mom. I don’t want you to spend any more time on this post when you’ve got that stoopid picture of me in it!  I’m going to need to bark again real soon and make mom put some nice pictures of me on the blark … I’m Kismet and I’m NOT amused!
