Okay mom you can leave your new friend at the store okay – gulps. Mom and dad went to the pet store to get some things for me and my bros here at the Hotel Thompson. While they were in the store, they came across this guy who was being ‘walked’. Rolls eyes – really? He needs to be ‘walked’. And we all know my mom, she hasn’t met a stranger yet that she won’t talk to.
So mom – with dad in tow – walks up to said stranger and inquires his name. His name was – are you ready for this? – Chester. Yeah okay. So mom did something so outrageous. She asked if she could touch Chester. Mom – what in the heck are you thinking?? Chester gave his okay… something about his tongue sending approval. I don’t want to know. So while Chester’s head was turned, mom petted him. He wasn’t greasy or slimy or anything like that. He felt weird to the touch.
Then mom did the most insane thing. She told daddy to give her his hand to touch Chester. Now understand, all of this time dad is standing there and doesn’t have a clue who or what Chester is… I mean would you guess snake with a name like that? Well dad the ever loving trustworthy guy he is reaches out his hand and touches Chester. That’s when the guessing game began – what is Chester. Dad thought he might have been a bearded dragon or another type of lizard. But bless his heart he didn’t freak out when mom told him it was a snake.
Would you have freaked? I told mom Chester was off limits here at the Hotel Thompson. I mean OFF LIMITS!
Barks my friends! Here’s to another week behind us and a great adventure of the weekend before us! Last Saturday I went to the spa. Daddy said that I was so good that I could get a new shirt. And we all know that clothes are my things. I love my clothes – I make these t-shirts. Don’t you think?
Well there we were in the middle of our local pet store and we were going through the t-shirts. Either I liked them or daddy didn’t and vice versa. Then we came upon the *perfect* t-shirt. We both barked – okay maybe dad grunted – and said that was the one.
And you know the answer is always pizza! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Have fun, run in the sun and try to get some lap time on your humans lap. Now I leave you with Jokes with Daddy – have fun!
Hello my sweet friends. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I know we did here at the Hotel Thompson. Heck, it was just plain awesome having mom home from the worky place. Did we eat too much here? Barks! Nah – do you believe that? It was like an all day food paradise. We had a blast!
And today – what do we have planned for today? Aaww – I have plans for me – for Petsmart. All of those toys – All of that food – All of those treats.
I think I can get mom to go… I think. I’ve left so many notes laying around the Hotel Thompson. I even hid all of my food and clothes to make her think that I have nothing left. That way, she thinks I need everything STAT.
And the other anipals, they gave me their lists of what they want and need. So, I’m good. I think they are going to persuade mom/dad too of a much needed trip to our toy store… I mean Petsmart. Wish us luck my friends.
Oh and to keep you held over, mom/dad did buy me a toy a couple of weeks ago. Oh my dog!! Mom says that I might love that toy a little much. What do you think?
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
HA – BARKS! Mommy said that this was the cutest tail that she has even seen – barks with puppy laughter. Sorry Bacon and daddy – I gotta cute butt – what can I say?! Okay I have to admit that in this picture, daddy had my upmost attention. You can tell by the way I’m standing – the position of my cute tail and my one ear standing up. Daddy was actually giving me a treat. Just ignore dad’s holey shirt – barks! Mommy says that his around the house shirt only. And you know, this pooch will take as many and any kind of treats he can get.
And Bacon take notice of my t-shirt. HA! I know – I know. I probably should not have gotten it but it was so darn cute. And I gotta pick on my bro – if I don’t, who will, right? Okay maybe Hemi will by slapping him on his hiney with his huge paw – now *that* is something I never get tired of watching. Talk about amusement here around the Hotel Thompson.
And today is an awesome day my friends. Do you know what today is? I mean more than just being the obvious Friday? Today is the last day at work for my mom. She starts her holiday when she leaves work today. YES – DO A LITTLE DANCE – HAPPY DANCE. Nine entire days with having mommy at the Hotel Thompson. I’m so excited I may wee myself!
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
WHO do I need to talk to my friends? This weather is horrible. It has been raining so much that I’m not sure which of us is more done with, me, mom, dad or Bacon. And to top it off, it’s cold. Not freezing cold but chilly willy for this little camper. I’ll tell you a secret of how cold it is – come closer – some days I don’t even get out of my onesie – that’s how cold it is. Can you imagine?!
And one night this week, mom came home from the worky place and was cold and tired. After she put on her onsie, she cuddled up on her chaise to relax. I drug my lobster bed all the way from my bedroom to the fireplace. Then I jumped on the chaise with mom to watch the fire. She laughed cause she was like all of that work and I’m going to sit with mom now? Nah, I’m a smart doggie. I was letting the fire from the fireplace take the chill off my bed and make it all nice and toasty for me. See, who’s the smart one now huh? After a few minutes, I went and got in that toasty bed. I was so snug and warm!
Hopefully, it’s suppose to be a pretty weekend here – cold but no rain – so maybe I can go out with mom/dad for a ride. I feel a field trip to the local pet store coming on for me. I haven’t destroyed any pillows in a while – barks!
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
Awesomesauce – yep I said it – AWESOMESAUCE. Last week I told you that I think I was going to the V.E.T. Remember? Well I was wrong – barks! And that’s a great and wonderful thing. Nope, mom and dad took me for a walk in my stroller instead. Now that I can deal with any day of the week. We went up the street to a football stadium and we walked all over the parking lot. Mom said it was for exercise for her and dad. I was good with that. I got pushed around and enjoyed the sun and air outside. And did I mention the people we ran into that went all goo-goo all over me? That was awesome! Mom/dad thought I needed some time with them outside. Afterwards, I played in my back yard for a while with Bacon.
I have an admission to make this week. They say that admission is the first step to owning up to something that you did. So here it goes. I’m a pillow chewer. Sigh – it’s out there now. You see, I’ve destroyed three pillows off of the couch. Not all at one time. Oh no, that would be wrong. I took my time one pillow at a time. You see they have zippers – zippers that are all shiny and calling my name. So when dad doesn’t look or pay me any attention, the pillows attack me. I have to protect myself, right? So I chew the zippers out. One.pillow.at.a.time. Mom is not happy to say the least. She said that she is going to have to sew those pillows without zippers. And don’t think I didn’t get in trouble. I did. Mommy ignored me and put me in timeout. Can you imagine that? Being ignored with no cuddles? Mom told me she loved me but destroying pillows is a major NO-NO…. especially she said when I have so many toys. Shaking puppy head. I was wrong. I know that now. So my friends, what can I do to get back on mom’s good side? Suggestions?
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
Barks my friends! Another week gone and tomorrow is the BIG day – HALLOWEEN! We can’t wait. We are going to celebrate the way mom did when growing up. We are all going to bundle up in the big bed with popcorn and watch scary movies. I think we are all excited just to be together. I’m sure we will all be snoring before the first show ends – barks!
But I did dress up in my costume. Our local pet store had a dress up party and I went last night. It was so much fun! I got to strut myself around in my Captain America outfit and be a Super Hero for a while. They had puppy treats and treat bags for anipals that I got to bring home. Score one for the little puppy huh? This is a picture that mom took of me in my outfit. If you look closely, I’m smiling and you can see my teeth. Dad says I’m Captain America but mom says with those two front teeth showing, I could be VAMPIRE Captain America – BARKS! Mom/dad say we have lots of errands to do this weekend. One of those errands they say I have to go with them. The way they said it, it didn’t sound good. I’m thinking this weekend might be the V.E.T. thing they keep spelling out around me. They don’t understand that us anipals know these key important words that they like to spell. I’m hoping I’m wrong about the V.E.T. but the way daddy keeps saying it with a grin in his voice, I don’t think so. I’ll keep you posted.
And my friends, I have a special treat for you today. All of us anipals and even the rock clan have been working on a project to help end 31 Days of Spook. We put together a little something and we hope that you enjoy it my friends.
You know my dad has issues. I’ll be the first to admit that to you. He is special. Mommy says it all of the time… that and he is a treasure – snorts. One of his favorite things to do is shop. I know – for a man that is hilarious because mommy hates.to.shop. She would rather do it on line than to go into a store – shakes piggy head. There is no hope for her.
But sometimes on the weekends, mom does like to go to our local pet store. Sometimes she brings me and sometimes she brings the little pooch Houdini. This past weekend was Houdini’s turn.
Now this is where mom made her first mistake. She told daddy to find Houdini a bone. Now Houdini is 5.5-6 pounds. Daddy came back with a bone and said, “What about this one?” Can you visualize mommy rolling her eyes at daddy with this picture? I know I could! Really daddy? That’s T-Rex you have there.
Miniature pot bellied pig and friends - Bacon, Houdini, Hemi and all of the Rock Clan with Journalist Rocky the Squirrel all out looking for adventures from the Hotel Thompson.
