'Tis the Season

I don't know what Christmas is yet, but I've been hearing Mommy and Daddy talk a lot about it lately. So far, I know that there is a strange tree in my house, and this magical new cave behind it with lights in it that I have just discovered. I also know that Christmas involves my "holiday sweater," which I am quite fond of wearing, because whenever I wear it, people come over to the house. I love meeting people and making new friends! Christmas is the best!

Goldilocks Dog

When I visit the homes of other dogs, I like to eat their food, play with their toys, and sleep on their beds. In the above picture, I'm sleeping on Ollie's bed. In the below picture, I'm sleeping on Mindy's bed. Finders keepers!

I can dance like the best D list celebrities!

I'm Helpful

Since being adopted, I have been given certain chores I'm supposed to do around the house. Most of my chores are simple house pet duties, like guarding the house when Mommy and Daddy aren't home and cuddling Mommy and Daddy when they are home. I also have other responsibilities as well, like making the beds each morning.

Requiem in Pace, Window Blinds

When Daddy got home from school yesterday, he noticed that the door to the guest room (where dogs aren't allowed) was open. Since I was being a good boy laying on my bed, he figured that the door hadn't been closed all the way and had just been pushed open by me leaning against it. I thought everything was golden for me.... until Mommy came home. When Mommy went into the guest room, she saw my badness right away. It was no longer a secret that I had managed to destroy the window blinds and make a big mess. Mommy said I have to pay for new blinds out of my allowance.

My First Thanksgiving

For my first Thanksgiving, Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Erie, PA to visit with Daddy's mommy and step-father. I had a great time meeting my new grandparents. Thanksgiving is a great holiday to be a dog because there is a lot of tasty food around.

I also met my new cousins, Ollie and Maggie. Ollie is the old white man and Maggie is the wild brown girl. We had fun barking at stuff together.

Grandma Bubba and Scott live right on Lake Erie. I liked going down to the edge to look at the water below. It reminded me of my days as a stray dog when I would go fishing with bears in the wilderness.
