Mom's in Trouble

I'm pretty upset with Mom right now. Yesterday she worked all day, and then came home to see me. That's normal. But you know what she did then? She rushed me through my walk and she LEFT again! That's totally uncalled for. She doesn't have school anymore, so she shouldn't be doing that.

I was hungry. I wanted some petting. I needed a good ear scratching, and the evening is my time to play with my squeaky skunk. But noooooo. She just rushed home, took me out to potty, and then put me right back in my crate! She didn't come home again until it was dark out, too.

And...this was just the icing on the carob cake... She smelled like FRENCH FRIES when she came home again. Did she give me any? Nooooo. I'm guessing she ate them all by herself and refused to share. That should be illegal!

So I'm not a happy puppy. I'm working on getting back at her. Tonight when she tried to make a phone call, I got out my loudest squeaky toy and just squeaked away! Take that, you mean Mom!

More Goose News

Mom hasn't taken me to my pond lately 'cause she says she has bad allergies. So, I haven't been over there to check on those geese. I can tell you, though, that there are still lots and lots of geeses over there. You know how I know? I hear them.

Those things are the loudest honkers. I think that's all they do, too, besides swim and poop. Almost every time Mom and I are outside, I hear them honking. Lots of the time, they're flying around over the top of us in our parking lot. Honk, honk, honk! I think we should change their name from "geese" to "honkers." Honk, honk, honk! We need to figure out a way to put a volume control on those guys so they're not so loud.

And they need to start picking up their poop. I'm tired of stepping in it on my sidewalk!

Goose Update

Mom and I walked around the pond again tonight. All of the bazillion geeses are STILL over there. This time they were all just floating around on the water, though. They weren't acting all crazy like they were last night. I think their party must have been done.

So the geese were quieter, but they still haven't picked up all of that messy poop that they left on my sidewalk. My Mom picks up my poop. Why don't the geeses' moms pick of theirs?

Oh -- we saw some duckies tonight, too. They were walking by the sidewalk. I didn't want to scare 'em, so I just acted like I didn't see them. I think they still got a little scared, though. They were quacking at me. I just kept on walking and sniffing the grass.

The Geese Are Crazy!

Mom and I walked around the pond tonight. I decided that we could. I've been refusing to walk over there for a while just 'cause I didn't feel like it. I was bored with my pond.

Anyway, when we were there tonight, the geese were going crazy. There were a bazillion of them -- lots more than usual. And they were flapping and flying and swimming around all over the place. They were SO loud, too. HONK HONK HONK! (Just like that.) I think maybe the normal geeses were having a party or something and they invited all of their friend geeses over.

Then, all of the geeses just flew off to one of the other ponds. It was funny 'cause all of the sudden, they were gone. I guess their party got busted. They left some duckies behind, though, so then the duckies were quacking up a storm -- probably happy that the geese all left and they had the pond to themselves.

Even after the geese left, I could sure tell that lots of them had been at my pond. They really need to start cleaning up after themselves...or to stop going potty on my sidewalk!

What's a PawPawty?

Some of you might be confused by my last post -- the Sekurity Report for the PawPawty. Let me explain...

Mom let me set up my very own Twitter account, and I've met hundreds of doggies and kitties and teddy bears and hedge hogs and guinea pigs and squirrels and pigeons and all sorts of other animals from all over the world. Once a month, all of my anipals (animal friends) have a big party. They call it a "paw pawty" because, well, most of us have paws...obviously...

Anyway, a PawPawty is an online party were everyone chats through Twitter and plays along with the party theme. There's an optional cover charge for the party, and the money goes to whichever animal charity we're supporting that month. This month we raised over $1,300!

The PawPawty Sekurity Team stands by in case anyone needs help during the party. And this month, I joined the Sekurity Team! (Don't laugh.) I kept track of all of the sekurity-related events at the party. I'm the official Dokumentation Officer for the Sekurity Team. Not bad for a skittish little doggie, huh?

Oopsie...

Last night Mom was on the floor with me, givin' me some good petting and loving. She started scratching my ears (ain't nothing better!) and her face was right down by my little face. She was talking to me and we were practically nose to nose. You know what I did? I burped. And I had just eated some of my canned doggie food, too, so it was a good puppy burp.

I thought it was SO funny. Mom was not amused.

Oops.
