If only I could tell her where it hurts and how much...

I jumped out of my vehicle yesterday, but fell to the ground and rolled, twisting my right hind leg and yelping like I have never before. My staff was beside herself, since she bought the new but culpable corduroy coat that I was twisted up in....and because I was in pain. Sad. Ness.

My staff whisked me up in her arms two hours later when I was still whimpering on the couch every time I shifted. We went to the vet, whereupon I immediately masked all signs of debilitation. I don't like the vet and I will do anything to get the hell out of Dodge, so to speak. The nice vet man said I had some soft tissue injury, but no sprain and no break. Phew.

C.V. padding

I can carry two cookies up the stairs to the office at once. It's a skill.

Snow storm!

Where I am supposed to "get busy"?...I can't scale the banks, and when I do, I sink.

I knew it!!

The Globe and Mail has confirmed what I always suspected.....

Boudoir Beautiful

My staff is unstoppable. Normally, there is very little consumer purchasing action. But lately has been a boon. I encourage such behaviour, especially if it gets me new snowflake coats and keeps me in gourmet meatloaf. The newest acquisition is an extremely lovely oil painting by Miss. S, which has been installed in the redesigned bedroom. Me likey.

Of mice and canine

It's that time of year again when my staff suffers restless sleep as mice can be heard quietly munching on the wrong side of floorboards and in the cupboards.

Ich bin nicht eine Maus-er.

Gadzooks!!!

My staff gave me a funny new haircut. It's funny like that Toni home perm she got in 1982. Without the smell.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Bzzzz

Halloween is my favorite holiday. My staff and I were bees. Boys in 70's-era skirts, Mexican wrestling masks, and ladybugs, oh my. And I got a bad-ass skull collar as a Halloween treat. Cool.

MMMMmmmmmmmmm

My staff and I had a good cuddle this morning....after about 6 minutes, I fell asleep in her bed, just inside her arms. I'm glad she's back from across the pond.

"Dans le Sac!"

We went to Shoppers today, and the nice clerk asked about me again. Each time my staff takes me on a ramble to make a purchase at the Leslieville Shoppers, the clerk forgets that she knows me, and inquires about similar transportation for her employer. Not sure if her employer is as clever as I am though.....when my staff says "dans le sac" (as Ms. S advised is the proper Paris way), I spin around so that she can lift me up and deliver me inside. I love the purse. Who wouldn't?!!!

Bananas, apples, oranges, and peaches, sure!

But watermelon, not so much. Ptui.

"He went for her like she's made out of ham"

We watched Best in Show last night. From a cast of thousands, and great characters, Fred Willard as the 'layman' commentator, Buck Laughlin, steals the movie. "Now tell me, which one of these dogs would you want to have as your wide receiver on your football team?"

My favorite Guest film. I bet I could bring home a blue ribbon! 'Cept I'm not pure bred, and my staff stole my family jewels 3 years ago.

11.6, if you must know

As Mr. Eric pointed out, how would you feel if someone took away 50% of your food, tomorrow?!

I have become accustomed to enough doggie meatloaf for a 12-22 pound dog. I would turn into a 12-22 pound dog, if I had unlimited meatloaf bowls....

Bad Cuz

I have a Bad Cuz. Not because my staff thinks I'm bad, but because she was entirely unaware that there are Good Cuz's and Bad Cuz's. Bad Cuz's have horns. But they both bounce funny on their feet, and the bounce factor is enhanced by squeaking.

Another Cute Party!

I'm exhausted from my cute party yesterday. Wrastling, snarfling, eating, drinking, dolphin pools, fetch, sharing toys and snacks, neighbours, naps, rolling in the grass.

More meatloaf please!

Two full servings of human grade organic doggie meatloaf every day, and my bowl remains empty. Burp.

Home office is my office

My staff finally went into her real office today. Sheesh! I thought I'd never get a full day's schnoo.

Bath Day

I am fluffy and white and cuddly and fresh! Yay! Time to lick and re-lick my front paws so they smell better....that is, like me.

Happy Charlie Arrival Day!

4 years ago, I came home from Quebec via Oakville in a cardboard box. I've got a house, I've got a car, I like the smell of my backyard, I've got a good mother. Too bad there isn't anybody around to celebrate Charlie Arrival Day...maybe if it stops raining, we'll go for a walk in the Brickworks?!

Two full servings plus manna from the dishwasher

I was sad. I cried by my bowl. So my staff gave me a second full serving of doggie meatloaf, despite my growing girth.

Later, she moved the portable dishwasher to the sink, and found my peanut butter cookie underneath! At last!!!....satisfaction.

Back to the Cute Party!

We went to the lake last weekend, which was fun....especially since I saw my best friend Keisha.

Since then, much lounging and loafing. Vacations are great. My staff needed a break, as she was not feeling very well. But she is better, now, thanks. Back to the cute party, after a wee mental health break.

Norman Bates Pancakes

Today, l peeked inside the shower curtain, and then cuddle time was a little "wet on the noggin"...surprised my staff!
