To Bolt or not to Bolt

Poppa thinks Bolt and I look alike, what do you think?
Mommy thinks I'm cuter.

I Walk So Pretty

I swear, I do walk so pretty! Well, at least prettier than before! Evil Mommy took me to obedience school on Wednesday. Apparently I have to attend more sessions! There are even different levels! That really scares me. What a hassle. Really, you don't have to teach me how to walk and sit, I already do those things for free! Well, after dinner Wednesday evening, Mommy decided to take me out. She put on her backpack so I assumed we were going to Poppa's place. Instead we went to a part of town I had never been to before. We ended up at a church! I thought it was going to be another blessing so I was excited to see Alice the Camel but unfortunately she was not there. There were however a gazillion dogs of all ages and sizes! I was sooo happy! Unfortunately all our Mommys and Daddys were trying to make us behave. They totally threw us off of the socializing thing. Shortly after we arrived Pips and Buster arrived! Buster is so little and Mommy absolutely adores him....I think he's aight. Anyhow, Buster was a bit nervous and shy, it took him a while to come out of his shell. Mommy pissed me off because while I was sitting pretty and with my back turned away, she picked up Buster and cuddled him! When I saw, boy was I upset! Lucky for them there was no time as Dorothy, the trainer made all the parents and owners form a great big circle to start the learning. I was trying my best to be good but you know, I love stuffed animals and Dorothy was demonstrating how to "train" us with a stuffed dog! Mommy was struggling to keep me sitting and I was struggling to get to Stuffy. Anyway, in class we learned how to "Heel" and how to sit....oooh so hard like rocket science! Like Caesar Milan says, the owners are the ones who need training, not the dogs! Remember that Mommy. At the end of class, Mommy and Pips purchased Martingale collars in order to make us walk pretty. I must say, it is rather difficult to pull away from "Heel" aggressive Mommy these days. I was pooped by the time we were finished. Did I mention, Dorothy called Buster and I delinquent dogs! How RUDE! All because of our Mommies. My Mommy said that I bite and hate kids, Pips probably told her Buster hates other doggies. Dorothy promised to work with us. Grrrrrr........... When it was time to go home, Buster gave us a ride to the subway because we went to Poppa's Place! I was so happy to get there but I ran straight to bed and dozed off. At five in the morning on Thursday the parents woke me up, slapped the collar and leash on me then promptly escorted me to a cab outside. We were dropped off at home and Poppa went to the bus terminal to catch a ride to the aeroport. He went to Los Angeles, the city of angels you know. I later found out that Mommy and I brought the crate (yuck) with us. I've been staying in it ever since. Well, when it is sleepy time or when Mommy isn't home. I'd rather be running free in the solarium, but I think it is getting comfy. I really miss Poppa. Poppa come home soon I miss you. Mommy is driving me crazy. I've attached some pictures of school and of me observing firetrucks when they came during an alarm. Oh, and one time Auntie was using the computer and I was pissed off because I wanted to blog. Poppa bring me some Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles!

Poppa's Place

Mommy and I have been staying with Poppa for the last few days. Last Wednesday, Mommy's asthma was acting up because of all the renovation dust in the condo so at 10pm, she packed a bag for us and up to Poppa's we went. The next morning we took a taxi home so that she could change and go to work. I was so mad at Mommy because as we were getting into the taxi she hit my head onto the roof. I was so angry that I snarled at her and threatened to nip her hand. Then, Thursday night we went to Poppa's again for a sleep over. Poppa gets home early on Fridays so Mommy didn't come home to walk me at lunch. I got to spend Friday afternoon with Poppa, it was so great, he is my absolute favorite even though I am not allowed to set foot onto the couch or bed. On Saturday, we got to go to the park at Yonge and Eglinton again. It was soooo much fun socializing with the other doggies. Other than that we just watched a lot of HBO, right now I love True Blood, it's such a good show. I also like Entourage but usually only if Arnold is on it. On Sunday morning Mommy and Poppa were not being nice to each other so Poppa went to IKEA and Mommy took me to the park again. There were even more dogs there this time. I played for half and hour with a lovely Beagle named Brandy and then I chased a ball up and down a hill with a German Sheppard mix breed. It was great fun and I was sad when it was time to return to Poppa's. Luckily when Poppa got home they made up so we got to watch more HBO. Mommy and I also watched "There Will Be Blood" which was a riveting movie! "Bastard in a basket!!!!!" Wow, so intense! During this time I spent a lot of time in my crate. At night they made me sleep in it and when they went out as well. Yesterday Poppa was sick so he stayed home with me, I really enjoyed that but I missed Mommy. Did I mention that I love going to the garbage chute with Poppa? What an adventure, oh and all the smells! When Mommy got home last night she had a wonderful red and white bed for me!!! It is the most comfortable one yet! I hate getting out of it. Today they both went to work and tried to see if I could stay in the crate all day. I tried really really hard but ended up going doodie in it. Poor Poppa had to clean it out!!! Mommy feels horrible so hopefully she'll never crate me again!!! Anyway, we're back at the Condo now and wow! I didn't realize how much I missed all my toys and Moo-Cow! Oh, and because I had some doodie on my fur, Mommy didn't want to take me on the subway so we had to walk home from Yonge and Eg!!!! I felt really bad because Mommy didn't feel well and came home instead of going to school. Oh well, we got home fairly early so she is resting now. Til next time!

Brotherly Love

Hello Everyone, Hello Vaughn!

I've been meaning to blog since Sunday but I had to borrow Poppa's memory stick because he had some precious pictures on it. First off, let me tell you that I have been miserable!!!! There has been a contractor at the condo for almost two weeks now! It is dusty, dirty, and soooo freaking loud! Needless to say, I've been confined to this stinkin' solarium most of the time. I hate it and it is sooo frustrating! Although the contractor is only here from 9 to 5 and Monday to Friday, I'm not really allowed out of the solarium because Mommy doesn't want me eating anything bad. Ya know, sometimes a guy needs to sample things. One night when I was allowed out in the dining room to play, Mommy was in the shower and Auntie wasn't paying attention so I decided to taste some plumber's putty. It seemed so dericious at the time. Mommy came out and found the tub of it in my mouth with the contents almost fully consumed. She was so upset and worried but then her and Auntie decided it was okay because the ingredients were natural and it was labelled "NON-TOXIC." Seriously, I know what I'm doing! Take a chill pill! Anyway, I've been misbehaving (according to Mommy) but I don't know how else to show my displeasure. Anyway, this past weekend we stayed at Poppa's again. Man, the freedom!!! How sweet it was. They even took me to the park at Yonge and Eglinton to socialize and play chuck it frisbee. I love that game! It's my favorite! On Sunday however, they decided to surprise me! I was pretty tired upon returning home from Poppa's, but they still took me out. We were hanging on the corner of Bay and our street when all of a sudden I thought I saw myself!!!! I had to do a double take! All of a sudden the crazy Mommy started saying "look Hubie! It's your brother! it's your brother!" Then I thought, OHHHHH MY GOOOODDDDNNEESSSSS!!!! IT'S MY BROTHER!!!! IT'S VAUGHN!!!Mommy was afraid we wouldn't remember each other but we started to play instantly! We didn't even need to sniff each other's bums!!! We know each other!!!! The parents then took us to the park where we played and played for sooo long! It even started to rain so we got super dirty and were threatened with a bath. We didn't care though because we had to catch up on old times. We wondered about our other brothers and if they were okay. Evil breeder didn't exactly provide us with their parents' contact info. What a shame! My parents and Vaughn's parents would've loved it. If you're reading this, please contact me! Anyway, when we got home, Mommy followed through on her threat and put me in the shower right away. She said I cried like a little girl, it's sooo embarassing! However, you would cry to if someone made you bathe under a big scary waterfall! After that Mommy hoped that I would crash and sleep for ten hours but I missed Vaughn so very much that I sat there looking out the window for a while and I'll admit, I cried a bit. It was a very bittersweet day for me. Hopefully I will get to see him again soon. On another note, Mommy is cheerfully telling me that we are enrolled in a doggie obedience class....I'll show her..... Our classes start on November 12. I was excited at first but then I found out that it isn't treat based!!!! Snore! Praises won't fill me up! Apparently her co-worker Pips is taking her doggie named Buster as well. I will have to email Buster so that we can conspire against them. Hehehehehehe........ By the way, I've added some pics from my Blessing!
