It was snowing in tha living room

Boy did we get in trouble today and it was all Bugs fault!!!

Daddy camed home from doing a call today and thought hims had wondered into tha middle of a snow storm right smack daub in the living room. And it did look like that too, only it wasn't snow that was all over tha living room, it was stuffing from one of tha cushions off of tha couch in tha living room. And me is here to tell you it wasn't me fault! Me is tha really good son and me would never do nothing like that, at least not by me self. It was that bad ole son Bugs who started it. . . . really it was. Me tried to tell him this wasn't a good idea and me tried to get it away from him. Me was going to put it back on tha couch were it belonged but hims lured me into a rousing game of tug-o-war. And then it happened!!! we was pulling and pulling and tha zipper broked and stuffings went flying all over tha place. We is very lucky that only tha zipper broke cause Mommy can get it fixed, but Daddy wasn't very happy cause hims was tha one that had to clean it up.

Lair of the Bear

We gots to go on a big adventure this morning. Our peoples took us to the great new place called the Lair of the Bear, but we didn't see no bears. Mommy says hers thinks it's funny how me and Bugs knows when hers is even thinking about taking us for a ride. We just read her thoughts is all and we is going to be dang sure we isn't lefted behind even if it means "dogging" her ever step and racing from the front door to the door going into tha garage to be sure we isn't lefted behind.

This is a picture of Bugs with hims head out tha truck window waiting to go on our adventure. Isn't him turning into a very handsome dog?

Me thinks Mommy and Daddy was a little put out by our behaviour but thems has to understand there was all kinds of wonderous new smells to be smell all over tha place and we was so excited we couldn't help but pull. Daddy gets a little impatient with Bugs when hims pulls on tha leash. Hims forgets how bad me was at that age and how hard me used to pull. Bugs will learn how to behave. Mommy just talks to me really easy and me does me best to obey even though it's hard.

This is us w/Daddy on a deck built out over tha river. Mommy tied me up to the railing so hers could take our pictures cause hers thought it was really pretty there.

Anyway, we gots to this really neat park and walked along a path by a river and then crossed tha bridge over tha river. Once we gots on tha other side, Mommy and Daddy let us off of tha leashes and me and Bugs raced up and down the mountain trails. There was wonderful, wonderful smells in tha air and on tha ground. We had the bestest time. In fact Daddy says that maybe later in tha summer we can get up really early and pack a picnic breafast and go there for Sunday morning breakfast. Me and Bugs thinks this would be a wonderful idea.

Tug of War

This is how we spended the afternoon yesterday after our escape and capture. We played Tug-o-War.

This is my stick and me wants it back!! NO Murphy, this is my stick. Now give it to me.

ME said give it to me!!!! Grrrrr

Come on Bugs, me found tha stick first!!!!

Fine take the ole stick. Me didn't want it anyway.

(It might look like Bugs won tha game, but what really happened was me let hims win cause me is the big bubba and that's what we is supposed to do.)

The Great Escape

We almost made it across tha border this morning. Me and Bugs made a dash for it but was nabbed in tha end. Here's what happened.

This morning very early.....to early for me (we hadn't even had breakfast yet), tha neighbor from next door camed and told Daddy it was hims turn to use the aerator/hole making thingy. Mommy put the dog stopper in tha dog door so we couldn't get outside and daddy went out side and starts digging little holes all over tha front yard. Then hims opened up the gate to tha back yard and put them same little holes all over tha back yard. Me and tha Buggsy-Doodle was really cornfused. How comes hims gets to put holes all over tha place in tha yards and when me and Bugs digs just a couple holes we gets scolded???? This don't seem fair at all to us. Mommy said that what Daddy was doing was good for tha yard but what we does just destroys tha yard. Now that just don't make good boxer sense at all.

Anyway, Daddy finished and took the hole making machine out of tha back yard but hims forgot to close tha gate. Then Mommy tooked the dog stopper out of tha dog door and out me and Bugs went to investigate all them holes. And you know tha first thing we discovered was the gate open and we plotted our escape. Actually we first thought we'd go for a ride in tha car but none of tha doors was opened so Bugs thought it would be great fun to go on a walk about (always blame it on the little bad puppy) so off we trotted. We almost made it too!!!

Mommy discovered we was gone when hers went out back to give us a treat and we didn't come running when hers called. Hers when running out tha front door in time to see us about to cross the street to go to tha park. Her says fortunately the next door neighbor saw us too and called us about tha time her came out that front door. Being tha really good dog me is, me turned around and came trotting home when hers called. Bugs thought it would be nice to stop and visit with tha neighbor who ratted us out and hims little girl Rachel.

We almost made it to tha park, almost. Maybe another time we can try again. It was a lot of fun and a great adventure that's for sure.

Bad son

Well that bad little bubba of mine has done it again. Hims stole half of one of our peoples hamburger steaks right off tha cutting board when Mommy lefted tha room for only a really short second. Me told that silly puppy this wasn't a good idean and that Mommy would notice right away, but hims said that if hims only ate half of tha patty hers wouldn't notice. WRONG!!!!!

Me ran upstairs where mommy was and snuggled right up next to her leg to let her know me was tha REALLY good son. Of course mommy didn't know why me was doing this and thought me was just missing her, that is until hers walked into tha kitchen and saw tha evidence on tha counter and Bugs hiding under tha table in tha dining room. Mommy was not happy to have half of her dinners eaten by a dog and daddy put that bad ole puppy into hims crate for a time out.

The only good thing that came out of this whole thing was me got the other half of tha hamburger steak. Ya can't tell me crime don't pay for tha good dog.

Murphy, who is always innocent.

Lap dog

This is me being Daddy's little lap dog. Isn't me cute?



Mommy says me makes Daddy look little. What do you think?

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everybody!!! Me and tha Bugsadoodle hopes eveybody got lots of easter eggs from tha Easter Bunny. Mommy says we didn't get none cause candy isn't good for dogs so hers is going to make us a nice turkey dinner w/all tha trimings. That is if hers stops being mad at us for getting her up so early on a Sunday Morning.

Murphy and Bugs

April Fools

Today is April Fool's Day. This don't mean to much to me and Bugs cause if somebody plays a trick on us it won't make any difference. We is always making fools of ourselves. But that's not what me wanted to write about. Me wanted to tell you what that bad little puppy Bugs did this week.

Even though it's Spring, it snowed Thursday morning. Thank goodness all tha snow from all tha other times had melted so it wasn't a whole bunch of snow on tha ground. There was enough snow on that patio table by tha back door to give away Bugs mischief. Mommy walked outside to take a look around an what do you think hers saw on that table in tha snow??? Doggy paw prints!!!! And thems wasn't just tha type that looked like maybe a dog had stood up and put hims paws on tha table, no sir these paw prints was from a dog jumping up on tha table and walking around on it. And it wasn't me, cause me is tha good son. Nope it was that bad ole Bugs. And this wasn't tha first time hims had been up on that table either, it was just tha first time hims lefted evidence. Hims likes to get up there and see how tall hims would be if hims was a full Great Dane instead of a half Great Dane (Mommy says hims a mini Great Dane). Now that thems knows that bad ole puppy can get up on tha outside table Mommy says hers is going to have to be careful not to put food on it.
