Snow Day

I love the snow. I mean, I really love the snow. There's something magical about it. It makes me feel young and bouncy and energetic. I could play all day. It's even better when we get to go to the trails and I get to frolic wherever I want. Snowy hills! Do you know how fun it is to run down a hill in snow? It's the best thing ever. I want to do this every day. I love winter. Mom says it was cold. She tells me that she loves me enough to be cold. Apparently my smile is worth being cold. I think snow is worth being cold. Did I mention the magic and the fun and the frolicking? I guess mom just doesn't get it.

Trouble

The thing about staying home all day is that it's boring and agitating. I don't like seeing mom leave. When she leaves I open the cupboards and go through the trash, or eat the sugar, or just move things around. Somedays I just open every cupboard door so Cheddar can climb in whichever one he wants for a nap. It makes mom mad and sad so when she comes home I just hide upstairs until she cleans up, then we can be happy and love each other again. I do to want to make her unhappy, it's just so hard when she leaves. It's like I don't know what to do with myself because it hurts my insides. I'm trying to be a good girl. I just want to be with my mom. 

No More Work

I guess some people don't like dogs. I don't understand why. I like all people. Anyway, one of mom's coworkers is terrified of dogs. No matter how nice I am, he thinks I'm scary. Mom got told that I could still come to work, but not on days when they have meetings, and I would have to be on leash all the time. I don't like to be tied up. My leash is awesome when it means I get to go somewhere, but I won't wear it sitting around all day. I might have chewed through it in about 30 seconds today when mom turned around to answer her phone. I guess I'm backing to staying at home alone all day. I mean, Cheddar is there too, but I miss mom.

More trails

Mom won't let me post her pretty face, but this is how happy I am in the hills with my mom! She's so awesome!

Trails

I LOVE TRAIL RUNNING. Seriously, it's like the best thing ever. I get to run without being on leash. I can stop and smell things. I can pee as many times as I want. I get to sprint super fast which is awesome. I don't understand why we ever run on the roads. It's so boring and tiring running at the same pace all the time. I'm all about the sniff and sprint. I can even deal with it when mom makes me sit so she can take my picture. 

I didn't say I look at the camera. 

We've Moved

Mom and I have been living in a beautiful house, in a quiet neighborhood, with a fenced yard, near and awesome park. Silly mom decided she wanted to be closer to town, so she sold our house and made me move. 

I don't have a fenced yard anymore so I'm not allowed to hang out outside by myself anymore cause mom doesn't want me to get kidnapped or anything. She knows everyone wishes I was their dog. 

We go to the dog park now, which is kind of cool. Mom says I'm working on my doggie manners. I bark when I want people to play. It seems like most dogs don't want to play with me no matter how much I bark in their far. It's ok, the people pet me and I like that. 

The other awesome thing is that mom comes home in the middle of the day to visit me. It's sad though, because that means I have to watch her leave twice every day. I still cry sometimes. 

Mom's Been Slackin'

Hey Everyone,

So, I know I haven't posted in a while. It's all mom's fault. I'm not so good at typing, you see, so she has to help me out. She says life has just been too hectic, but I don't think that's fair. I mean, I'm sure you all love reading about my adventures and seeing all my fun pictures. She says we'll work on it and try to do better. I promise I'll remind her. She can be a little forgetful sometimes. Maybe she's getting old..... Anyway, a lot has happened since I last posted, so you can look forward to some exciting news!

Yours Truly,
