Don’t worry mom. I’m here to protect you – even in here. I think we all know where here is, right friends? Who knows what could happen to our humans when they enter their litter box. There is a lot of things in there that could hurt them. I mean what if the flushy thing swallows them up and they disappear. Where would we be then in getting our own food? You do see the worried look on my face, right? I gotta go in there with mom just to make sure she’s okay…. and that there are no monsters living in the tub. Have you checked that place out lately my friends? We can never be too careful! I’m off to patrol again with daddy this time. Be safe!
Did you celebrate the 4th of July this week? This week has been one continual pawty here at the Hotel Thompson. Every year during the 4th of July, it’s *always* a pawty. Not just for the 4th but there’s also another important howliday in there. On the 3rd, it was mom’s barkday. We had a blast! There was cake, ice cream, presents, dinners and bunches of shopping and fun. Mom/dad and Nana even went and saw the new Jurassic World movie. They had such a great time playing together. And they didn’t forget us anipals either. We had doggy ice cream to celebrate the week.
So since mom/dad deserted went to Chicago, Illinois last week, us anipals got to go to Nana’s for a somewhat vacation of our own. This is me telling Nana’s dog Dingo all about the treatment we got. Dingo completely understood. But I’m a creative genius cause you know I made the best out of the situation. I would like to tell you how but sometimes thinks that happen at Nana’s must be kept at Nana’s. It’s the Nana Code. You can spill how much more spoiled Nana makes you. Seriously. I’m sure you understand. But mom/dad have come home now – thank goodness. And it looks like mom/dad had a great time. So for now, I leave you with Jokes with Daddy. Enjoy my friends!
Barks with puppy laughter!! Oh my friends last weekend I had the bestest time ever. First I went to my spa appointment. There is just something so relaxing about a long hot oatmeal bath followed by a puppy massage. Then my groomer cut me into a cute little style, dried and primped me up to look so darn cute for mommy when she picked me back up. When mom/dad picked me back up, mom just gushed and kept giving me kisses. She said I was her cutest little puppy. Of course I gave her kisses too.
Then we all got into the Prius (which is awesome – I can see out all of the windows!) to drive home. But on the way home, mom made what she called a detour. And I have to tell you, I liked this detour thing. Mom got me my very first ever Puppicino – thud puppy down. That thing was fantastic! My first taste made both of my ears go up. Then I had to go deep down into the cup and got it all over my face. Mom just laughed when she cleaned me up.
After I got home, mom washed my face more and I was just darn tuckered out. Who wouldn’t be, right? Mom said she could tell by the look on my face that I was tired so she tucked me into the big bed and laid down with me for what she called a nanny nap. I so enjoyed that!
Yawns, I think I might still be tuckered out. So now my friends I’m going to leave you with Jokes with Daddy. Take it away pop!
What does one do on a cold and rainy day? Well us anipals here at the Hotel Thompson find warm spots and take a little shut eye. You see mom and me were on the sofa first listening to the rain outside the front window. It was peaceful so I shut my eyes. The next thing I knew, Hemi joined the party by sitting on mom’s legs. Bacon was sleeping in his room and dad was on the other sofa sleeping. It passed for rainy day time in the living room. Mom said she would have made a fire for all of us but she didn’t want to get up and wake us all up again. Do you have these kind of days too? Aren’t they the best? After a while, I think we finally moved to the bedroom for naptime together. It was a great lazy Sunday day afternoon after all 🙂
Now I leave you with Jokes from Daddy. I actually got him to record a new one for you today. Have fun!
Barks – mom did you call me? Cause I could have sworn I heard a wrapper – what was it? A piece of cheese? A cracker? Potato chips? I know you called my name – barks with puppy laughter. Mom started laughing at my picture. We were both taking a nap. Mom got up to go to the potty. I was comfortable so I stayed. I was sound asleep too. That’s when I swore I heard mommy call my name – HA! Mom did share a small piece of cheese with me in the end. See, I told you she called my name.
Barks! Do you ever play hide and go seek with your humans? I love that game! One day this week, mom came home from the worky place and I wasn’t in my usual position guarding the front door via the top of the chaise. It worried mom so she called my name. I didn’t come. So mom then went into immediate worry mode and went to find me. I was curled up under mom’s blanket in the big bed. I was just so tired from guarding the house that the time got away from me. That and of course I was warm and toasty from being under the blankets. Of course she had to pick me up and cuddle me while she walked around the house. Hey, maybe I should ‘hide’ like this more often… you think?
There we were this past week all cozy at the Hotel Thompson. Mother Nature is still being psycho. Some days it was hot while other days it was cold. Mom was so cold that one day she just couldn’t get warm. So what did she do? She put on her puppy onesie. It actually has paws, a hood with ears and a tail. She was hilarious in this get up. And it has feets as well. She was rocking it and getting warm. I snuggled up next to her and we were both snoozing in no time. I agree to this outfit. Do you have a onesie? What kind do you have? Mom should have put my onesie on as well. We could have both strutted around the Hotel Thompson together.
This is me friends from last weekend. I was worn out. Not from running, playing or chasing Hemi or Bacon. Nope not anything fun at all. I had just gotten back home from the three lettered bad place – V.E.T. Before I go further, let me discuss something with you humans. Us anipals know how to spell. You don’t have to spell V.E.T. We know that is the place that we all despise. I mean really. Buy us a drink first. Get to know us if you will before you violate our captains quarters. I’m just saying and I think I speak for everyone on that private matter. So on this date, I was visiting our vet for my yearly shots. How those yearly shots get here so fast! Being a Yorkshire Terrier, I can admit that our breed is a little… how should I say it….nervous about these things. Yeah, that’s the perfect word. So before I get my shots and the doctor feels me up, the staff usually gives me a little Benadryl to cut the edge to calm my inner Yorkie down. So there I was one shot of Benadryl in my rump and I am chilling in my dad’s arms. And might I add, I didn’t bark, whimper and growl at that shot. I was a good boy. So there I am chilling and the lady doctor finally comes in. Mom/dad and the doctor are talking and the doctor tells daddy she is going to take me away from him for a couple of moments. Now comes the good part. As the doctor reaches out to get me, daddy barks and growls at her! Seriously – the dude growled and barked!! Rolls with puppy laughter. For an older lady, the doctor sure did jump pretty high. I was greatly impressed. Of course mom fussed at daddy. I just laughed and got excited for a few minutes…. that is until I saw the doctor going towards my captains quarters. I ended up getting two more shots – again with no barking, growling or whimpering. I was a good pooch mom said. So good that I got to go by the pet store on the way home to pick out a new toy. Daddy on the other hand didn’t get a toy because of his growling/barking.
Barks! You know sometimes our humans are weird and forgetful. I get that. Really I do. But my mom forgetting about sweet little moi? That’s just disgraceful. In fact, let me tell you the story and then you tell me what you think.
Mom/dad went out the other night and came home late. Mom goes straight to the kitchen to do her nightly ritual things – set the microwave for dad’s lunch the next day, fixing the medicines for the next day, setting the coffee maker for the morning, making sure all of us anipals have food and fresh water, etc.
Also at night, we anipals all get bedtime treats. You know just a little something to hold us over until the morning so our tum-tum’s don’t growl.
Well mom gave Hemi his cat chews. Mom gave Bacon his strawberry. And then mom walked to the bathroom. Hold up mom – wait a minute. You forgot me. I chased her to the bedroom and watched her as she got ready for bed. I jumped on the bed and kept licking my lips trying to tell her hello – moi – moi – you forgot moi!
Finally when she went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, it dawns on her. We finally have a winner! How could she forget about me? Does that ever happen to you my friends?
