3 Months and 3 Days!






That is how old I am now. Wow, what a week and a half! Last weekend was the Victoria Day long weekend. I don't know what that is but I do know that Mommy and Poppa spent a lot of time with me. We went for a long walk around the block and then they took me to this park area that belongs to a long-term care facility. I was not allowed on the grassy areas unless Mommy was carrying me. All the smells had me happily curious the whole time. My favorite part was when the three of us sat in a nice shady gazebo for a rest. Mommy decided it was time to go when I started eating the bench and all the tree stuff that had fallen on it. Remember those piggens? Well Mommy says they are pigeons, pigs are another thing all together. Well, I saw these two really big long-necked things called Canadian Geez or Juice or something. They were very noisy and kinda frightening. Mommy didn't want to get to close because a doggy belonging to her friend was chased by one once. Honestly though, she should ot have worried, I would've wrangled them by the neck. The next day we were all sleepy so we just hung out and watched tv. Poppa was naughty and bought a big giant grape slurpee from the store down the street. He had it on the coffee table which is glass and I wanted a taste so badly that I jumped twice at it from underneath. Let me tell you, it doesn't work. I bumped my little furry head not once but twice! Sooooo embarassing, Mommy, Poppa and Auntie laughed and lauged. Also, it was a quiet two weeks because Cousin Rufus was at his other Mommy's house. They have joint custard or something like that. Mmmm....custard......This past week Mommy and I went through some meal time battles. I was getting pills in peanut butter and refused to eat my Orijen without it so Mommy was mixing it. Then she stopped and because I was so hungry I ate it anyway, not half bad really. However, she is still soaking it in hot water and then allowing it to cool. Once grandpa soaked it in warmish water and I refused to eat it. It just didn't smell the same way. On Thursday Mommy spent the night at Poppa's house and Grandma puppysat me. We had fun but I missed Mommy very much. On Friday, Mommy and Poppa took me to see Dr.Judy, my second time! They were very proud of me because it was my first time on the TTC and I was so well behaved. When we first got on the bus I was a bit timid because it was so loud. I sat in Mommy's lap and sniffed the air as hard as I could. On the subway (we went twenty stops! I think...) I lounged in Mommy's lap again and chewed on my frozen toy the whole time. When we got to Pape Station we got off and walked four blocks to Dr. Judy's office. I was so excited that Mommy only had to carry me when we saw Piggen, I mean Pigeon doodie and freshly cut grass (mmm....). At the office I ran into a cat named Bobby and a St.Bernese Mountain dog named Ruben. We made nice but then I was scooped into the examination room. Dr.Judy said I had nice teeth (not like Cousin Rufus....Shhhh.......) and she talked to Mommy about stuff while I sniffed around for a cookie. She gave me a piece but then pricked me in the bum twice! It didn't really hurt really, I have a muscular bum you know. But anyway, I don't like surprises like that. Mommy bought some gummy worm preventation medication for me and then we were on our way home! I walked the four blocks to the station again. Along the way we ran into a nice little old lady who asked me if I thought I was in the West Highlands.....hello! I don't see any grassy hills! I'm small but my brain is not! I forgave her because she was as cute as me. Near the station I met a baby in a stroller and decided to give him kisses on his hands. On the subway going home I curled up in Mommy's lap and went to sleep. When we got to our stop I refused to open my eyes, pretending not to hear Mommy. She had to carry me onto the bus where I woke up and started to play with Mommy's handle on her bag. It was so exciting that I hadn't peed in over two hours! As soon as we got home I ran straight to the pee pad and opened the flood gates. As soon as that was done I ran straight to my crate and slept. Mommy then spent Friday and Saturday night at Poppa's while Grandma and Auntie watched me. I was soooo tired from the bum prickles and the adventure to Dr.Judy's office that I gave them no trouble at all. Auntie said that I was an angel. Most of the time I wanted to sleep. Mommy was a psycho and called every few hours to check up on me. Geez, no independence at all! Last night Cousin Rufus came back. We are very happy to see each other. He is starting to play with me now, we were even sunbathing together today. At dinner tonight he stole a quarter of my dinner. I didn't mind sharing because I was full but Mommy was afraid that he might get a tummy ache and soupy poopie. We'll just have to wait and see. I'll fill you in!
