My Mom is a Worry Wort & I'm Tired... ******UPDATE*******



Here's an Update:

OK...I stopped doing that licky thing...

My Mom still doesn't know what my
problem was...

'Ya just gotta keep them on their
toes...'Ya know??

I guess I escaped the trip to the VET...

**********************************
Here's what happened last nite:

My Mom worries too much...

I always do this thing where I keep sticking my
tongue in & out really fast...

My Mom always thinks it's cuz the furs around my
mouth are too long and they get stuck in my mouth...

Well last nite I started doing it about 6:00PM & I did
it constantly all nite long & I couldn't sleep & so,
she couldn't sleep...And, now she wants to
take me to the VET...Cuz she thinks my tooth might
be bothering me or something...

Do any of you do that? If you think you know why I'm
doing it, can you try to explain it to my Mom so she
will stop freaking out??

I fell asleep just about the time that thing that wakes us up
started making that awful sound...I wasn't
ready to get up yet...But she had too...

Thanks,

It's Almost Spring...


I went outside this afternoon & I didn't even
need my winter coat...
Look what ran up the telephone pole as
soon as he saw me....
And I saw these two birds playing in the tree...
My Mom took this little video of me...

There is sooo much exploring to do...

Rosco said we should show you...

Count them...
Since My Barkday & the Contest are over...

There aren't quite 96 in there now...Yum Yum!!

And, If you get a minute, stop over at

Bark Kent interviewed me this week for
Five Fur Friday...

Was that ever fun!!!
I had the best week ever...

And, to make it even better the sun is shining
& the grass is getting green &
the trees are getting fluffy...

My Mom says the trees aren't fluffy - it's just
that the leaves are starting to come out...

Now, I KNOW FLUFFY...

Anyway...Thank You All again...

You made My Barkday Wonderful...

My Birthday Contest...

OK...In honor of my 3rd Birthday
which is on Tuesday, March 17th...

I am having my first ever Contest....

So...Take a look at the picture below...
See the jar of Training Treats??

Well the Contest is easy...

Just guess how many treats are in the jar...

I have given you a few "points of reference"...
( that's what my Mom called them...)

She thought of a few things, to help you know
how big the jar is...

I thought of the empty toilet paper roll, cuz
we are all familiar with them...

I shredded this one soon after the picture
was taken...

The Contest will run from today, Sunday, March 15th
to 12:00PM EST on March 17th = My Birthday...

The winner will be the one with the closest guess...

In the event of a tie, the first one who posts
will be the winner...& I will mail you a prize
that I pick especially for you...

Rosco will be overseeing the entire
Contest to insure it's integrity...

Oh...& in case you have these treats
you can't just count how many are in the jar....

Cuz, you don't know how many my Mom
has already given me...

Good Luck Everybody!!!

Honest, Mom...We Had Nothing to Do With It...


Wow...We really thought we were in trouble...

My Mom was gonna be home any minute...
She had to work 'til 9:00 PM last nite...
That never puts her in a good mood, anyway...

When she walked into the Kitchen,
this is what she saw...
Then she saw this in the Living Room...
We thought for sure we were gonna get blamed
for the mess...

But she wasn't even mad...
She knew right away what had happened...

Rosco's Dad came home from the Army for the
weekend...So, Rosco's Mom & Dad were home all
day & they just relaxed & ate pizza & started
to pack some stuff for when they move into their
new house next month...

I'm soooo glad we didn't get blamed for this one...

Oh...And, it's 4 Days 'til my Birthday...

OMdoG...I Couldn't Believe It...

My Mom finally took me for a walk in my
BACK YARD this afternoon...

There has been soooo much snow, I haven't
been able to go out there for a long time...

I'm inspecting...Want to come along???
There's still some snow here & there...
And, lots of sticks...Chef would love it out here...
She even took me to my favorite
Squirrel Hunting Spot...
I know they are out here...I can hear them...
Maybe over there???
Or...Over there???
Do you believe it??

He ran right across the fence & up the tree...

He remembered me...

He knows it's time for him to start hiding...
You haven't seen the last of me, Mr Squirrel...
