Thanksgibing Weekend

We sure does love Thanksgibing Weekend. Why? Cause we gets to celebrate Bugs' "gottcha day" for one thing. It's been two years since Mommy and Daddy went all tha way to Texas to get Bugs. Me sure is glad thems did to cause me and Bugs are tha berry bestest of friends. Bugs is glad too cause, being the mischievious dog that hims is, if someone else had adopted hims thems might not have been able to cope with his Great Dane ways. Instead hims is in hims forever home and for this we is both thankful.

Tha other reason we love Thanksgibing weekend is because it's a four day weekend and our peoples has been here with us tha whole time, except when thems went to see Uncle Rick and Auntie Donna for turkey and to meets thems new baby boy Bodie (which stnds for Best Overall Dog Ever with an i for good measure) Hims a 10 week old Border Collie/English Shepherd mix. We hasn't met hims yet but we got a good sniff of hims when our peoples came home that night. Do you know that not only did them desert us for tha evening to eat turkey, but thems didn't bring us any home!!! Anyway we is both thankful for 4 day weekends and habing our peoples with us.

Murphy and Bugs

Uh oh! We is in BIG TROUBLE!!!!

Me and Bugs didn’t do nothin, really we didn’t do nothing much. It was all that stinkin kitty Lily’s fault. If hers had stayed in hers room where hers should have been it wouldn’t have happened!!!

See ole Lily Pants (what a silly name) has been comin out of hers room to snuggle up to Bugs, you all have seen tha pictures. If me was Bugs, me would have been embarrassed to have Mommy take pictures of an ole stinkin cat rubbin up against me. Anyway, hers had been rubbin on Bugs and hims was takin it and then Mommy went upstairs to tha little girls room and ole Lily Pants decided hers was going to be brave and go in with Mommy instead of stayin in hers room. Bugs was just standin there watching her prance by with that tail of hers straight up in tha air like hers was the queen of tha world. Me came upstairs and that’s when all hell (Mommy’s word not mine) broke loose.

Bugs saw me and got excited and rushed into tha bathroom after Lily and me followed him to see what was so interesting. There hers was in tha corner. All me wanted to do was sniff her. Bugs has been sniffing her and me wanted to get a good whiff of her as well. WELL, Bugs got excited and went after Lily and that got me excited so I went after her too. With both of us going after Lily, Mommy got excited and started screaming at us to leave Lily alone. Hers had hold of Bugs so hims couldn’t get after Lily but me had me face buried in Lily’s tummy to get a good smell and me thinks that’ what scared Mommy. Hers thought me was going to bite Lily. Daddy came running and hims was yelling and it got really exciting then! Me and Bugs thoughts thems was encouraging us and Lily was trying really hard to get to her room. All that noise was very confusing but finally Daddy got hold of me collar (me REALLY, REALLY hates having someone drag me by me collar) and that gave Lily time to escape into her room.

Mommy was worried cause hers saw blood on Lily’s tummy but me swears on the bag of dog bones, me did not bite her. Me slobbered on her, but me did not bite her!! It turns out tha blood was from Daddy and hims broken finger nail. After all that and not hurtin that ole kitty, we got locked in our crates while Mommy checked out Lily to be sure hers wasn’t hurt. Mommy says WE just set back all the progress Lily and Bugs has made. How is it our fault??? Don’t that ole kitty get some blame??

Murphy and Bugs (who is innocent!!!)

It's cold!

Me and Bugs are pups of berry little fur and it is getting cold and we is not liking it at all. Me thinks the warm Indian Summer days of last weekend is gone. It was cold enough last night for Mommy to build a nice big fire in da fire place. Me and Bugs was sacked out on our love seat next to tha fire place, soaking up all that nice heat. Daddy boughted lots of wood for tha winter and we sure is hoping thems plans on having lots of fires to keep us puppies warm. In fact it would be really, really nice if Mommy would start a fire right now. Me wonders if me thinks really, really hard and use psp (puppy sensory perception) if hers will get me message and start a fire???

Lily Pants

We is all making progress in learning how to get along together. Bugs and Lily Pants has eben been touching noses sometimes. She's stopped running ebery time her sees us coming and Bugs has stopped, mostly, chasing her. Me thinks hims has figgered out hers is not a pesky squirrel. Most mornings now that ole Lily Pants comes out of her room and rolls around on tha floor in front of Bugs. Sometimes hers will eben rub up against him but then when Bugs tries to sniff her, Lily will swat hims face with her paw. Hers has eben done it to me once or twice.

The other night hers came all the way downstairs and into tha den where we was all watching our favorite show "Animal Planet" Me thinks her would have stayed but Bugs saw her sitting on the step and got excited cause her was in hims territory and took off after her.

Sometimes Bugs will lay in tha hall outside of Lily's room and wait for her. Mommy says hims gets really focused and tunes out eberthing but watching Lily. Why that silly dog is so obsessed with Lily me doesn't know. She's just a stinkin ole cat. In fact that's Bugs E Doodle esq there just waiting to see if Lily will come out from under tha gate so hims can sniff her. See how he's berry, berry focused and all cause of a cat!
