Who Says Dogs Don't Smile!?

Angel is my best friend!



Labs love to smile!










We have a house guest this weekend and I'm SOOOOO excited to have someone my size to rough house with. Aunt Angel is spending the night with us for 2 nights this month and again for a whole week in April. She is so fun to chew on and I love pulling her hair. We run around the kitchen and living room in a big circle over and over again. I know I'm the instigator and the big turd. At least that's what Mommy says. I like to grab her with my front paws and chew on her neck. Her hair tastes wonderful! Sprinkles thinks we are really fighting and gets really mad at us. She is the 3rd wheel and is very protective of me. As soon as Angel nips at me or growls at me, Sprinkles is right up her butt. Seriously! Her nose goes straight up Angel's smelly butt! Gross!

Naughty Doggie!

I look cute, right? Well, I got in BIG trouble today. While my mommy and daddy were outside cleaning out the garage, I did this....

I heard mommy say she was going to "kill" me! I sure hope not! I like living here. I spent alot of time outside this afternoon by myself. So I did what any sad, lonely lab would do...

I dug another hole. As you can see, mommy's already filled it with my poop. It's suppose to keep me from digging but it doesn't work. After all that, mommy decided I needed to get out and run and get worn out. So she took me up to the middle school track. I don't get too far away from her. I'm afraid she'll really leave me. So I run a little and then come back to wait for her. I'm so good that she didn't even put me on a leash on the way back to the car. Why can't I just learn to be good like that all the time?

My 5 month photo shoot

 

5 months old on March 7th

I've been in a hysterectomy induced menapause for 6 days and it's not slowing me down at all. In fact, I can jump higher, scratch harder, and tear things to shreds a little easier. I have most of my big teeth in so that helps too. I can reach the top of the table and since lately I have been giving table scraps, I think everything on the table is up for my taking. I find corn dogs to be especially easy to get off a plate when no one is looking. Tried it now 3 times but unfortunately, I got caught. Give me another week and I'll get faster at it. They won't even know what happened! I have sort of always had a fettish with wet wipes and it's really fun to pull them out of the container. But when I can't get my teeth on those, I will get old kleenexes from the trash or toilet paper or even Bounce sheets. All work the same for me. And it leaves my breath smelling a little fresher. One of my other fettishes is the blow dryer. When I was a baby, my other owners used it to dry me off after a bath, but now the minute I hear it turn on, I wait patiently for Mommy to blow air in my face so I can try to catch it with my mouth. Mommy said she likes to close her eyes when she turns it on, count to 5 and when she opens her eyes, there I am sitting in front of her. Since my surgery, I have invited myself up on the furniture more. I now nap on the couch next to my sister Sprinkles. We are best friends. I still sleep at night in the crate but some nights, mommy and daddy let me watch TV with them in bed. I haven't had an accident in the house for a long time. (Just wait, now I'll forget and have one because I said that!)I only like to go outside if Sprinkles goes with me. We've gotten out the front door a few times together and run in the neighbors' yard. We get yelled at and have to come back in but I stay close to Sprinkles and do whatever she does. She's my role model and idol. Evan really likes me. He keeps coming up to me and saying, "You're my BEST doggie!" That makes me happy. I am very tolerable of his rough play. He stays home with me when the others goto school. I think we'll be best buddies for a long time.
