Smelly Donut


Auntie and I got in the Yukon this afternoon.  There was a stinky smell—she checked the trash sack and under the seats.  It smelled like something dead, maybe a mouse.  I just sat on the console, trying to stay out of the way.  Then Popo got in.  He could smell it, too.  Then they both looked at me.  The source of the smell was sitting right between them.  What had I gotten into now--smelly weeds, sewer water?  I didn’t matter, I was headed for the bathtub, again.

This has just not been my weekend.  Yesterday we went to see the baby bison at Dunn Ranch.  Of course I couldn’t actually ride on the wagon, but I could watch   everything else from the car. It was pretty fun.  On the way, we stopped at Casey’s for donuts.  Auntie came out of the store with a box—I watched with great anticipation as everyone ate their donut.  There were some left in the box.  Oh boy, these must be for me! Auntie put them in a cooler bag and zipped the top.  Darn, I’ve never tried to get in the cooler bag.  I decided to just try to forget about the donuts.  Later in the day when we stopped for lunch, Auntie fixed my food and got my water bowl out of the bag.  After everyone went in the restaurant to eat lunch, I decided to see what I could find in the back seat. I got a whiff of those donuts—I don’t think she got the cooler bag completely zipped.   

When Auntie opened the car door, there it was—a chewed up box—all that was left of the donuts.

Rabbit Wrangler


Auntie calls me a rabbit wrangler.  When we went out to get the paper this morning there was a rabbit sitting right in front of me.  I saw him and he saw me.  The chase was on.  I was hot on his tail then he circled back and stopped by the gas tank.  He headed one way and I cut him off.  Then he headed the opposite direction and there I was.  We went back and forth around the tank.  If he hadn’t finally run in a hole too small for me, I would have had rabbit for breakfast!

Snow! Snow! Snow!


Wow!  There was a big snow drift--over 3 feet deep--over the steps off the deck.  I had to go pee!  Auntie dug through the drift and cleaned me a path.  What a relief, but the next time I had to go out the path was nearly filled up.  This is what I crawled over to get out to the yard.  I think it time to get the shovel out again.

12 Things About Me


    If you read my blog, you know I lead a dog's life.  Here are a few more things to know  about me.

    1. I will be 12 years old in April!
    2. I love to eat--pretty much anything.
    3. I like to get up early, usually by 4:30.  The earlier I get up, the sooner I get breakfast.
    4. I sleep in my bed during the day and Auntie's bed at night.  I also like to sleep between Popo's legs or stretch out on the floor in the sun.
    5. I bark in my sleep.  Sometimes I even growl (I don't even growl when I'm awake).
    6. I am good help in the kitchen.  I set at Auntie's feet waiting for something to fall.  One day a potato hit me on the back (good thing it was a little potato).
    7. I'm always ready to go, and I go everywhere my humans go.
    8. I can't be trusted in the car alone with the groceries.
    9. I shake allover when we pull up to the bank drive-up window.  The lady at the window gives me treats!
    10. I have two younger (much younger) brothers. 
    11. I don't like loud noises--pounding sounds, yelling, thunder--I look for someplace to hide.
    12. Popo says I have a very good disposition but I know what I want.

      Tater Tot


      Meet the new me.  I have lots of nicknames—Pooper Scooper, Stinker, Sweetie Pie, Cookie Monster—and now I’ve earned a new name—Tater Tot.  We’ve been gone a lot and except for the pumpkin pie incident at Christmas I’d been pretty good when I‘ve had to wait in the car, usually just stretching out in the seat.  Then it happened.  Auntie went in the storage unit and I was setting in the front seat.  She brought some chairs out and put them in the car and went back in to look for something.  I knew she had put the sacks from Walmart way in the back.  I had to move fast—I climbed over the chairs, landing right on top of the sacks.  Now I had to make a choice, there were two loaves of bread and a bag of tater tots.  This was my chance—I could only look longingly at the tots when we stop at Sonic, so it was a no-brainer that I went for the tater tots. It was over too fast.  Auntie locked up the unit and came around to get in the car—the seat was empty!  I heard nothing, then she screamed.   Busted again.  It may have been frozen, but now I have a tater tot!

      Happy Halloween 2012!



      One of my favorite holidays is right around the corner and I am ready! I'm going to be a pumpkin this year. Auntie calls me Pumpkin Poo--so this is the perfect constume.  When I wore it to town the other day,  the girl at the bank call me a "cute little pumpkin" and gave me TWO treats!

      Rabbit Hunter

      I've been taking it pretty easy this summer. Even though I'm always watching for rabbits and squirrels, I think they've been hiding out to keep cool. Then yesterday Popo and I were taking our walk and I scared up a rabbit. It took off and I was right behind him--flat out running as fast as I could go. Then I hit the hole, rolling and spinning through the air! I landed on my feet and took off again but the rabbit had a lead on me. I was ok--just a little grass stain on my knees and a bruised ego.

      A Cute Pup


      Wow! I didn’t know what a cute pup I was until Auntie found some old pictures of me from my first canoe trip. I was just a little thing but I remember sitting on Popo’s lap in the canoe. He held on to me so I wouldn’t fall out. Mostly we just rode down the Current River, stopping to eat and play in the sand and water. At the end of the day I was tired and ready for a nap.
