All About Kennels

This is not my kennel.


Obviously it is Scarlett's because of the yucky pink blanket inside. MomDad keep saying "kennel up!" to Scarlett and since I know what that means, I want to show her like a Good Dog.
I have found that when it is time for bed, this is a very comfy place to be. And, since Scarlett is now sleeping under the covers with Mom, the kennel is fair game.

This is my For Real kennel.

Clearly, it is not as comfortable as Scarlett's (see, I knew she got all the best things!).

*Sigh*
This is how MomDad say it's supposed to be (except with Scarlett staying in her's!):

OH NO!! Missing!!!

OH MY GOODNESS!
My friend Anastasia over at the Cat Realm has been missing for several days now! This is terrible news! Kitties need to be safe and sound in their homes or own yards, not missing away from home! I am very scared for her and I hope everyone will join me in this event on Sunday that Sheezix threw together.

Come home soon, Anastasia!

I Think We're Bonding

It's been a busy week around here! Mom started back at work full time so she can't stay home and play with us anymore. At least she's not taking Scarlett to work anymore. That was making me so jealous hearing her talk all about all the kids that would pet and play with her there. I've only been there twice and even then only briefly. I guess Scarlett was spending WHOLE DAYS there with Mom! How obnoxious!

Since Mom can't be here with us all day, though, she has to come home at lunchtime to let Scarlett out to pee. She says it's cuz she has a tiny baby bladder but I think it's just cuz she's got Mom wrapped around her little claw.

I think I'm starting to enjoy having Scarlett around more and more every day. I've gotten myself out of my "Grumpy-Old-Man-Saying-Get-Off-My-Lawn" stage pretty well. Now we play chase together at least three times a day. And even sometimes in bed with MomDad! Sometimes we fight over toys. I'll have a toy and then Scarlett will want it and take it from me (I let her have it cuz she's a baby). So I'll just go get another toy. But then she sees me with another toy and then she wants that toy instead so she'll come try to take it from me again. After a while, I am annoyed with this imbicile behavior so I growl and snarl at her, which just makes her bark like a banshee. We have found a small game called Tug-O-War that we sometimes play together. This is a nice compromise.


I've found that there is enough room on Dad's lap for both of us:

Though, sometimes I like to be by myself so MomDad got me a new bed. It's actually a cave. My cave. Like Batman.


Scarlett had to go to the vet today to get tortured. I guess you have to go a lot to get tortured by the vet when you are a puppy. I don't really remember when I was that small. Anyway, I told Scarlett I would go with her to keep her company and offer moral support but mostly I was secretly hoping to catch a glimpse of my beloved girlfriend Kat who is a nurse there. Horray! She was there! She gave Scarlett pretty good care but gave me some especially extra loves because I know she likes me best. She didn't even give me any shots or anything nasty today. Just kisses. Poor Scarlett got a bunch of shots all over. She did not like it.

We have returned to the Blogosphere

We are back home now from our vacation at GrandpaDave's. But Scarlett gave Mom the BIG bitey on her middle finger this morning so she can't help me type much right now because she says it hurts. She can click on the mousey though so we're going to put Scarlett away for a nap and then go visit everyone I missed in BlogLand! More later...

A Letter Sent from GrandpaDave to MomDad

(FYI: Xena is GrandpaDave's Great Pyrannees)

Pete & Abbey:

Dobby likes Xena's food. He hasn't touched his food but he has raided
Xena's bowl when he is out for a walk. Scarlett eats and eats and eats
some more. This morning I gave her a handful of food and she wolfed it
down, acted hungry so I gave her some more. She wolfed that down. I gave
her more and she ate that. I gave her more and she wolfed that too. At this
point she had had almost enough to fill Xena up. So I stopped giving her
more food. Then - she proceeded to raid Xena's bowl along with Dobby.

I keep finding tootsie roles around the house. Scarlett has trouble pooping
in my yard as my grass is much higher and there are prickly things out there
like yucca and wild grasses. She saw the peacock and got scared today.

They seem to like Xena's apartment in the garage. It is cool and there is
room to play. I keep the garage door open so they can officiate over what
is going on outside. The deck seems to be OK but it is hot and Dobby keeps
begging to get back inside. I don't leave them in the yard unattended.

Scarlett got slapped by a cat yesterday evening. I think she offended Lacy
in some way. Probably invaded her space. I didn't see the assault but
heard about it.

They like running down to the barn with me. Dobby found the dead fox
(mostly bones and skin now and all dried out) and rolled around in it before
I saw what he was up to and called him off.

More updates later.

Did you guys see dolphins yet?

Going on Vacation!

HORRAY!!!!!! I'm We're going on vacation!!!

MomDad are going to the beach in South Carolina until Thursday. There was some talk and frantic preparation to have some strange lady come stay with us but GrandpaDave came home from his vacation early and so he's going to take us to his house!!!! YAY!!! GrandpaDave's is soooooo cool! He has lots of land for me to run on and birds to chase and a goat to torment. Scarlett can't run so much with me though because she hasn't had all her shots (Neeiner neeiner!). But she will like GrandpaDave's because he is lots of fun.

GrandpaDave is actually coming over tonight so he can load us all up in the car and take MomDad to the FlyingAwayPlace. I'd better go pack all my favorite things!

I'll blog when I get home on Friday!
