Still Sunny!

I can't believe it! It is still sunny outside! I really hope that it stays like this. I get to go on more walks, which are always fun and I can go into the backyard and run around without getting all muddy and getting yelled at by the family when I get it all over the house. I know that I have told you how much I like looking up at things, but I have to say it and show it again. It is fun to look up through swing that is tied to the tree because it just looks cool. But that might just be because I am easily amused, that is alright with me though.

Woof! Woof!

My friend!

This is Dory. She is my best friend. We keep each other company during the day and even though she is older than me, she is still young enough to play rough with me. I love to play tug-o-war with her. I have known her ever since I became a part of this family. Although she didn't seem too thrilled that I was staying for a long time, she eventually got over it. She always cleans me and when I was little, she taught me the right way to do things so that I wouldn't get in trouble. I love her and I'm glad that she is here!

Woof! Woof!

Sleep!

I know that being a dog, I am supposed to sleep all time, I mean that is just what is expected of me. However, I find it very difficult to sleep when the rest of the house is awake and working really late. I could feel in the stress in the house last night because everybody was running around like crazy trying to get everything done, so I could not sleep because I felt bad. All I need now is my bed, which is looking really comfortable, so maybe I'll just take a small nap and rest my eyes before dinner.

Woof! Woof!

The Mail Slot

So many things come in and out of the house, but what I find really weird is that things come through the slot in the door. Every day a man puts mail through the slot in the door. I do not like this because I never know if it is the same guy or if it is a stranger who could be a danger to us. Don't ask me about the scratches on the door...I have no idea how those got there....But anyways, I smell something good, so maybe I can get some food!

Woof! Woof!

On the inside looking out

This is what I spend most of my day looking at when somebody is home with me, and of course if it is not raining. It is lots of fun to watch everything pass by outside from people to cars. A lot of the people are little kids because there is a school really close to here. Sometimes I just like to look at the screen door because it is so distracting and fun to look at.

Sunday Breakfast

It is not very often that you smell hot food in the morning in my house. However this morning, the house was filled with the smell of food, and not just food, but people food! I love these days because I usually end up getting some food from the table, as long as I do not try to sneak it. When I am good and do not beg too much, they give me some! This morning I got a lot of the food and it was sweet and just good! I do not know what it is called, but I don't really care because it is people food!

Woof! Woof!

TOYS!!!!

Oh boy, do I love my toys! Of course I have to share them, but I do not really mind. I hate that I have to keep them all in the basket because I would much rather have them spread out all through the house where they are all easy to get to. But every time I work really hard at spreading them all out equally, somebody has to move them all back to the basket. It is just so frustrating because then I have to spread them all out again, it is just a never ending cycle.

Protector of the House

That is what I am. While my dad is gone, I am the protector of the house. I have to make sure that nobody gets hurt and that everybody is safe. That is my job, right? I have no idea how long he will be gone for, but I sure hope that he will come back soon! It is really difficult to take care of everybody else because I also get scared sometimes (well quite often actually), but that is besides the point. It is especially difficult at night because every little sound I hear scares me and I have to make sure that it is not something dangerous. I have a few favorite spots where I like to sit and watch everything.

I enjoy laying here on my bed because I can see most everything. I can see the door and what everybody is doing downstairs, so I know that they are safe.

Another favorite is the landing on the stairs. I can see the door even more clearly and still have a great view of everyone in the house. I know that my family can be safe even when my dad is gone. It is tough, but someone has to do it!

St. Paddy's Day!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I know it has been a while since I've shared my thoughts, but I have been busy all weekend sleeping (what else would you do on the weekend?), so I am really sorry about that. But anyways, what is better than shamrocks on a day like today? I am going to be totally honest here, I do not really know what this day is all about, but it sure seems like lots of fun. These shamrocks are in my backyard and I just seem attracted to them today, I just can not stay away, it is weird. They are hidden on the side of the house, very difficult to find, but I enjoy just looking at them. I love how they all look so similar, but the size and color are always different from another one.

Woof! Woof!

Flower

What do flowers smell like? I don't know what else to say except they just smell good! So many different kinds of flowers, each one has a different smell to it, but it is always good! There are so many different kinds to look at. Not only do I love to throw my entire face into a punch of flowers to smell them, but I love to look at all the different kinds of flowers that are everywhere.

It does not really matter where they are. I think that my favorite flowers are the ones that are all by themselves because then there is nothing around, and then all of a sudden, there is a nose-full of wonderful smell. It really is just an amazing sensation in my nose. The thing with flowers is that (at least in my opinion) there are never two flowers that smell exactly the same; they are always different and you never know what you are going to smell when you lean into a flower. It is such a mystery, I love it!

Woof! Woof!

Bed Time =D

Doesn't that bear just look like so much fun to play with? Every time I try to play with it, I always get yelled at since it isn't really mine. But who really cares about what belongs to who? I mean, we are all family, right? I don't know what it is, but these humans just seem to get so possessive over stuffed animals. Since my attempt at trying to amuse myself with the bear did not work out, I decided to go to bed and watch a movie on the big bed with the big screen.

Most people think I don't understand what is going on in the movie, but I am more than just a wonderful ball of fur! I am smarter than I may look. I do understand most of the movies that we watch, even if you don't want to believe it. I will often get in the way of others who are trying to watch the movie with me, but I can't help it because I am also just trying to get a better view of the screen. I get really into the movies sometimes. It is really hard to pick a favorite movie because I watch so many. I like the ones with lots of action and lots of people. Maybe that is because I am just a people-dog (I LOVE seeing and people - all sorts of people, except the bad guys because I am not supposed to like them...grrrr). Anyways, the movie is getting to the good part where the thirty year old guy goes above ground for the first time in his life!

Home Alone

Everybody just seems so busy lately. Nobody is ever home, it really makes me sad. Whenever they leave, they put me in here to sit and do nothing. I am always so bored in my box. I look through the metal wishing I could be out there to wander around the house. Even if it was just to go get something to drink because there are times when I just really need a drink, but it is just out of reach, outside of my box, while I am stuck on the inside. These are how the days go when I am home alone. I sit there staring at the lock hoping it could just somehow, maybe even magically unlock so that I would be free to roam the house. Why am I not to free to roam the house? I'm not actually sure. Maybe it was the mail I ate a few days ago, or perhaps the fact that whenever there is food on the counter, it somehow happens to land on the floor in a place where I can conveniently eat it (no idea how that happens...). Speaking of food, I think I smell some now, and I'm hungry (but then again, when am I not hungry), so that is all for now.

Woof! Woof!

Car Rides!!!!

I love car rides so much! It is such a treat when my family takes me out and I get to drive around with them, even if it is a short trip. I love watching everything as we go by. One of my favorite thing do in the car is do look out the front window, especially when it is open. I get to feel the cool air on my face it. My fur flies everywhere, and I can't help but to let the wind make my cheeks fly. I love when we are on roads like this one because then the wind is even more fun to play in.

It is fun to watch all of the different things that we pass by. I love looking at the trees and the big fields of grass. I really wish that I could go out there and run wild without a leash sometimes, but sadly, we just keep driving and pass them. I don't really mind though, because there is always something new to look at further down the road. More tomorrow (hopefully not as late)!

Sunny Day

I just love sitting here in the backyard looking up at the beautiful sun. It is wonderful to see the sun after it has been raining for so long. When the sun is up and shinning down on me, the squirrels are playful and full of life. Oh boy, do I love to chase those squirrels. I just want to play with them, I would never hurt one.

There is so much to look at above me and around me, but what is this huge thing I'm looking at now? How am I supposed to know? I'm just the dog, those humans are just so complicated...I guess I will never completely understand them. But hey, I love them, right? More to come tomorrow from your friend, Rex!
