Thanks For A Great Week Lucy

Today before Lucy Puppy left we went and swam in Maggie's pool! Great time...again!!

We then came back to my house and had a small piece of Cinnamon Pizza to end our fun week.

Thanks for a great week of play and running!  I will miss you.

That's What Happens When You Roll

"Last Potty Call! Anyone need to go outside? Go Potty?" Single Girl says at 9:50 pm.

Lucy Puppy and I run to the door. We get hooked-up and out we go!

"Stella...over here! I've got a great smell!" Lucy barks.

We roll and roll and roll.  Single Girl tried to stop us, but we just couldn't help it.

We get done, go in the house, get unhooked and get tricked into the bathroom. The rest..well...



Enjoy this pic. It's the only one you're going to get!  Keep looking for a way out Lucy!


Stella...where are you going?


Do I look like I'm happy? Lucy...did you find our way out yet?


Stella, don't leave me in here all by myself! (Sad face)


Rock it! We did it! Way to jump! Ya, you too!

 Yep, that's what happen when you roll!

Swimming in the BIG Pool

Single Girl dropped Lucy Puppy and I off at my BFF, Maggie's, today. We had a great time. We ran and ran and ran and ran: chasing each other and sometimes ourselves. Ha!

To end the day we went swimming in the BIG Pool! We had a great time. The best part...when Lucy was lifted out of the water but her front paws kept paddling. It's like she couldn't stop. It was great.

Anyway, here are some pics of our adventure! Enjoy!!




And finally....



Thanks for a great day at your house, Maggie!

A Week With My "Cousin"

Lucy Puppy is here this week. Her humans went on vacation so she gets to stay with me!!!

When Single Girl told me that I was hosting...I wasn't that excited. Lucy Puppy is 3 months younger than me, but she doesn't like to play. I didn't know WHAT we were going to do.

Well, the first night we hardly slept! We were excited to be together. (It had been 3 weeks since our last sleepover). Up the stairs down the stairs back up back down. It was fun!  The last 2 days has been all play. SHE PLAYS! And the best part...sometimes she even throws the first paw!!  I've taught her well.

Tonight Single Girl wanted us to try a pear. Ummm, gross. Lucy Puppy loved it! So she got that and I got my banana! Yummers!!

Well, off to play again!

p.s. If I haven't informed you before...Lucy Puppy and I are cousins in 2 ways. #1 We come from the same breeder. #2 Well, our humans are sisters. :)

One of my friends died today...

This Spring and Summer I have had the best two buddies a girl could ask for. I'm not going to tell you their names, but they are bunny siblings. I have watched them grow and we have run around the yard. They would wait for me in the yard and as soon as I would see them we would run around the garden...lap 1, lap 2, lap 3, lap 4 and they would disappear into the flowers. We would play hide-n-seek and they would always win.
What good times.

Today, I found one of the siblings laying on their belly under the lilac bush. She had a broken back leg. I had to let Single Girl know that my friend was hurt. I barked and barked and barked and she finally came. She looked and told me that there was going to be nothing that we could do for my friend.  She took me in the house so she could do more research! NO! I WANT TO BE BY MY FRIEND!

Single Girl came back to get me. Yes! HANG ON FRIEND, I'M COMING! I ran to my friend. She was in some pain, but hanging in there. I noticed as I was guarding her that Single Girl was crying. I wasn't sure why (if only I knew was was coming.)

OH!! BFF Maggie and her mom and dad are here!!! Maggie, come and see my friend. Then the next thing I know Maggie, her mom and Single Girl are by the house...and Maggie's dad is going by my friend with a big shovel. Single Girl calls it a spade.  I didn't know what was going to happen and I'm not going to get into details, but I want you to know that I stayed by my friend the whole time and she is now at peace.

Single Girl took me in the house and I only wanted to go back out: where I last saw my friend. Why won't you let me out! WHY! WHY! WHY!

Good-bye my friend. Thank you for all of the fun times. I promise to take care of sibling.

Creepy Shadow With A Light

11:20 pm.
As I'm looking out the upstairs bedroom window, I see it: a creepy shadow with a light. I run down the stairs and bark. Nothing. I bark again. Nothing. I bark louder. Finally! Single Girl comes down the stairs and says, "You need to go potty again? We were just out!"

I run to the door and wait for her to hook me up. (At night she puts me on a leash so I don't sniff adventure for 20 minutes.)  Out the door we go! I'm pulling her behind me as I run to the backyard.

"Come On!" I bark.  There it is! I see it. The creepy shadow with the light. She doesn't see it yet and is still talking to me about going potty.

I alert the whole neighborhood that there is something strange going on! I don't let up. Single Girl still doesn't see it! (I think it's selective sight.) "HELLO!!! CREEPY THING WITH A LIGHT!!!"

Finally after screaming it at her she sees it! She tells me that it's a guy checking his tomato plants. I don't believe it! Why would he be doing it with this little light? I keep letting the neighborhood know the scoop!

All of a sudden, the shadow moves and a big bright light turns on. The creepy shadow now looks like a human and goes through a door. He's gone. I let everyone know what has happened. Single Girl keeps yelling at me, "No bark!" and taps my face. Why? I MUST LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS CLEAR OF ALL CREEPY THINGS!

I do a watch for a minute or two and everything seemed well so I lead Single Girl back into the house.

Back upstairs I go to the window: yep, the creepy thing with a light is gone! Crisis Averted.

H.O.T.

I went out for my potty break. It was around 1:00 pm. I did my thing, did my sniff adventure for a few minutes and then had to lay down. Right in the sun. I couldn't go on...I couldn't even go to the gate.

I'm glad that Single Girl came to get me. She carried me in. I'm now in the air conditioned house. Ahh!

No worries, I'm fine. Just remind me that when it's 110 degrees heat index to not do a sniff adventure. EVER!

My Favorite Time of Day

This morning I realized that I have a favorite time of day. It's in the morning on days when Single Girl doesn't have to work. We both wake up, I snuggle in by her, she strokes my head, and we discuss what the day will hold.

I love it when I snuggle my face in the crease of her neck and she pats me.

What is your favorite time of day?

Flying Stars

Single Girl took me out to go potty tonight and I saw them: flying stars. They were everywhere. They were flying in front of me, behind me, next to me, everywhere. I tried to talk to them, but they wouldn't respond. I spoke louder...no response.

Single Girl came out to see what I was yelling about. I tried to tell her, "Don't you see them? The flying stars?" She said, "Oh, do you see them? The fireflies. Aren't they pretty."

They were. I couldn't take my eyes off of them. I tried to get to them, but they kept disappearing.

Single Girl picked me up and slowly carried me to the house while I watched the pretty flying stars. I hope I get to see them again soon.

Oh Yeah...

7. I H.A.T.E. apples or anything that has to do with apples: apple treats, applesauce, apple smoothies, apples as baby food.  Why? When I was little, I ate almost a whole Granny Smith. The next day I spent the whole day throwing-up stomach acid. Apples = Gross!

8. I love to sit like a person. Don't you?

Some Thoughts

Normally my posts have a certain direction or theme. Today I would just like to share a few thoughts.

1. Single Girl took me for a walk on sand. Wow, did that feel weird between my paws. She then lead me to the lake. She tried to get me to go in. Ummmm, NOoooo. I will take a bath, but that's about it. I did however love rolling on the dead fish that were there!

2. Not only will I not go into a lake, you will not get me to swim in a baby pool. Again, bath only!

3. I will always protect anyone from those sparkley fireworks. I will sit at your side and make sure that nothing gets you. Just give me a call.

4. My anal gland wounds are healed! I kept licking them because they itched, so Single Girl got me some tranquilizers! Wow....they were great!!

5. I can't wait for Friday! I get to host my first sleep-over with my BFF Maggie! Maybe we'll post some pics...if they're not too illegal. Ha!

6. Single Girl was talking to her sister about if dogs can be right pawed or left pawed. Then they started to observe me. I don't know why they just didn't ask...I'm left pawed! Duh!
