Chelle says this chair is my Throne
Gramps says that I’m just keeping his spot warm
But as for me
Well
This chair is just perfect for
Keeping a Dog Watch at the door and window
A quiet and peaceful place to sleep
There is no one here to bother me
Hardly
Until Chelle came along
Took my picture
And made me curl up on her lap
But it’s still peaceful here
Means having peace and quiet
And the opportunity to sleep wherever I choose again
Even if it is in the middle of the room
And all the Human’s are a blur
Cleaning here and there
(And scrubbing up the little throw-up from eating too much long grass here)
Along with the dreaded vacuum
And the Tree
Oh the Tree
And all those things in my way
I liked sleeping behind that Tree
It was calm
And quiet
Now I have to search for a new spot
Hope you have a calm and quiet spot
To help from feeling stressed this Holiday
As for being Naughty
(Hardly me, I’m an Angel)
Or Nice
(Isn’t posing for these pictures nice?)
Here’s a big ol’ lick… or as Gramps said… “I can’t hold my Lick-er” (my only naughty thing I do I think).
It’s been raining these past couple days. A good thing because the Humans needed it. Or that’s what they say. I’m not sure how they would need it. But it does smell good after it’s rained. Plus these “Christmas Twinkle Lights” do look pretty with the wet ground and bushes. Just wish Chell didn’t obstruct my advantage of getting the lizards in the flower bed. How am I going to jump in after them know?
And before you laugh at me for wearing this Raincoat, it really works. Yes I am a Poodle, and Chell says it’s from the German word Pudel – “to splash about”… But I’m not a 100% Water Dog. Sure I can swimming. Chell has brought me swimming at friend’s pools with and without a doggy life-vest loads of times. And they say I sure do behave so well during bath time, if you call standing in a huge sink in the garage and acknowledging there’s no use in fighting is good, well I call it just being a realist.
I just don’t like staying wet. My hair just absorbs the water. Schell literally rings some of the water out of my hair after bath time.
So that’s why I very mush prefer going outside in the rainy weather with my Raincoat. Keeps most of my hair good and dry.
Monday’s can be a little stressful. At least for my humans it is. So here’s my way to keep calm.
First, there’s the old “Keep Calm quotes”. This is my favorite.
Why love dogs? Well there’s many positive and scientific reasons. But I’ll tell you why my humans love dogs.
Michelle suffers a little from Anxiety Depression. She’s also a socially awkward face to face. Since she’s become my new BFF, her anxiety isn’t high. She still mumbles, but I try to help when she reads aloud to me.
As for her face to face awkwardness, well, as you can see in this picture, I am the Queen of our neighborhood. A lot of people know who I am, and they also know Michelle too.
We are still working on her insomnia. But she loves snuggling with me, and to just have me next to her. And sleeping next to her on her bed has helped with her nightmares. And my hair hardly ever sheds. It just grows long like human hair. So I don’t shed on her bed.
The human, Michelle, put this outfit on me. It’s ok. But I don’t know if the dogs on my block liked it. Two big dogs (neighbor Koda and some big white lab named Ranger) kept trying to bite the sweater. That or it was my Alpha attitude.
Now that the weather is colder, it gives me the excuse to strut my many outfits. The humans have 1 Suggie for dogs, 4 sweaters, and about a dozen t-shirts.
This blue one is apparently by Martha Stewart. Dear Martha, this is a little too big for me. My front legs sometimes gets misplaced, and it causes me to trip everywhere. But I suppose it is comfy.
I’m just glad the humans has something for me to wear when they’ve forced me to get my haircut.
The humans are getting really excited over some sport on tv. They call it Football. Gramps watched a lot of it. Michelle watched one of them, the one they both got excited over – Notre Dame vs Stanford.
So while they were getting excited, I was just trying to get comfortable. Neither Gramps and Michelle’s laps are comfy when they get excited.
Thank goodness it’s Friday. I’m tired from all the excitement yesterday.
I did hope “Food Lady” (Mom) had some more turkey for me today. She had that oven on all day yesterday. Why can’t they do that every day? The Doh Eyes and following “Food Lady” around did work a little. She gave a 1 gobble of some turkey.
I’m just glad that Michelle didn’t do that much today. I need my beauty sleep.
PLEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!!!!
Oh Please can I have some!!!! Please!!!!
Fine. I won’t eat that stuff you call “Dog Food” until you give me some!!!! That’s right. You heard me. I am protesting here.
I want that Turkey!!!!!!!!!!!
The humans are cleaning a lot again. They even woke up a little earlier than normal. And they’ve also been cooking. And they did something to that meat. I think they called it a Turkey. And it’s in a bucket! The humans said something about brine. Weird. And then there’s this sweet fruity thing. They call it Crumb Apple Pie (there’s two of those), and Apple Pie (just one). The humans have put those in the spare refrigerator.
I’m invisible. You do not see me on the couch I’m not supposed to be on.
So while the humans have been busy, I’ve been catching up on my zzz’s. That and I’ve been able to get away with some things the humans don’t like me doing, like sleeping on the new couches, and barking a lot at the mailman.
After all the excitement from today, I’m tired. I’m glad there’s a comfortable and safe lap to sleep on.
