Happy New Year!

and Prospero Ano Nuevo, etc...

I hope everyone had great holidays!

This is the new soft blankie that Santa brought me, for lying on the sofa with Mom. It is made out of soft soft fleece, and has pictures of bones on it!

This is the new ball Santa brought me. It is big, and soft, and chewy, and comes apart really easily when I chew it.

Mom says Santa probably didn't know about it coming apart when he told the elves to make it for me!

I can't find this ball right now - it is lost somewhere in the house!

This is me with my new ball and blankie on Christmas, while Mom was watching TV.


We went to the mountains the next day, but didn't get any snow.

We still had a really good time, and I will be back soon to give the juicy details!

Return of the Coneheads - just in time for Christmas!

Well, I did it again.

One day last week, while Mom was helping customers at the store, I hid in my new bed at the store, and licked and licked and licked a spot on my hip until I had another one of those "hot spot" things that always makes Mom put the bucket on my head.

Here is me today, with my bucket head, playing with my good old "swollen tongue" toy.


This is still a great toy, even though it has quit squeaking.

I hate when squeakers quit squeaking!





Now, the good thing about wearing my bucket is that when I get tired of playing with one of my toys, I can just drop it, and carry it around in the bucket until I want to play with it again - this works pretty good with all my toys - even my big babies!

It does NOT work so good with treats Mom throws at me (why do I always miss catching them when I wear this thing?) Anyway - the treat gets stuck around my neck area, and I can't reach it, but I lick and lick trying to get it, and then the treat is all sticky, and my neck is all sticky, and, well - you get the idea.

Mom has special medicine for my boo-boo, and she puts it on me (I don't mind!) and I wear the cone around the house so I don't lick off the medicine, and so I don't lick my boo-boo.

But thanks to this new thing Mom found at the PetSmart (I Looooove going there!) - I don't have to suffer the humiliation of wearing my bucket head in public anymore!


Mom calls these doggie bandaids - they have special stuff on them to keep me from licking, and she can put in on my boo-boo, and it is basically invisible ('cause it is the same color as my fur!) - but when people at the store rub me, they sometimes find it. But sometimes not.

These doggie bandaids make Mom sneeze if she gets close too them - that is because they are coated in Cayenne pepper. They don't make me sneeze, but I sure don't lick 'em, either!

So, I wear the bucket at home, so my medicine can work, and I wear the pepper bandaid at work, so I don't look so silly. The pepper bandaid won't stick to my medicine, or else I would never have to wear the stupid bucket!

I hope everybody has a good holiday!

Mom and I are spending a couple of days lounging around the house, and then on Saturday we are driving up to the mountains to visit our friends, and we hope it is snowing up there!

Happy Holidays!

I haven't had much time for blogging ever since Mom bought her bead shop.

Now that she is gone a lot during the day (and sometimes at night, too) I have so much more to do here at the house! I have to patrol, and watch for bad squirrels, and bad cats, and those crazy people that keep walking around and around the neighborhood (don't they know they are just going in a big circle, getting nowhere?)

Sometimes Mom takes me to the shop with her, but please don't tell anyone, because I am not supposed to be there. Mom says the landlords don't approve of dogs - have you ever heard anything so ridiculous?

So here is how I am spending the holidays:

Here's my best smile!

And here's me taking a nap with my new Christmas Baby, while Mom works on the computer.

Hope your holidays were great!
