This is now, that was then...

Hi! Hope you had a good week. I have had regular walks with Nana, Poppa, and Mom. Dad and I keep the house on track. I play with the neighborhood gang. Sometimes we go on field trips...like today we went to Springdale. My friend, Diane Douglas, had an art show and we went to see her. All the nice neighbors were there. Then we went to Oscar's for dinner and a short walk. Right now, Mom and I are catching up on Ugly Betty and doing laundry. I'll see you all next week!

Things will never be the same...

I have decided that I enjoy being "challenged" for my dinner. So often, I look longingly at my KONG when Mom and Dad put out my meal. I will be sure to keep you updated on my newest foibles. But most importantly, I ITCH!!!! And every time I try to lick it or scratch, someone yells at me. Mom keeps checking my tummy area, but I'm not allowed to put my head there. So when they put that pesky plastic cone on me, I just run around whacking it on stuff. Then they feel sorry for me...I have great faces (see side). Dad made sure that I got a shot, too. So now they think that if I decide to be friendly with a rattlesnake, I will be protected. I suffer, I tell you!

I've got "hops"...

I'm not growing exponentially anymore. I've decided to be picky about food... After a couple of tense days, Mom and Dad have changed my food. I seem to like supper more than breakfast, eating most of my food in the evening.
I can jump! I can get into and out of the trucks by myself (if I'm motivated). Sometimes it's still more fun to have Mom or Dad lift me.
I do like to swim...we went up to Pine Valley Mountain today and Dad took me swimming in the creek. It was cold, but I had a good time.
