I. Am. Exhausted.
Don't get me wrong. It's great...I can never imagine life without her...
but my new role has me realizing a fatigue I didn't know existed!
Not only do I have an entirely new person to keep track of (and I MUST know where she is at all times. I give her a sniff, then allow them to continue with her activities) but I need to guard her as well.
Suddenly, my guarding responsibilities have increased tenfold. Who knew such a small human could be so much work???
I spend most of my days making sure I know where she is...
...and who is in the cul-de-sac. When neighbors, UPS men and other assorted characters have the nerve to ring the doorbell, (SERIOUSLY! The doorbell. Come on, humans, there is someone sleeping around here)
I have to let the humans know PRONTO.
Nights are no easier. Luckily, she and I go to bed pretty early, but she wakes up in the night. Sometimes just once (those are my favorite nights!) but other times it's several times.
Do you know how exhausting it is to get up, walk down the hall, guard her while she eats, then go back to bed? Yep. I'm beat.
But, having a new human does have it's rewards. I can't believe how fast she's growing and the smells she emits.
It's wonderful.

My Next Big Adventure!!

My Quandry
If you’re a reader of this blog, you know I’m a very stylish dog, but tend to be a minimalist with accessories. Except at Christmas when the humans disregard my dignity.
I’ve been trying to decide if I should be wearing a bandana. My humans aren’t very helpful on this because they’re divided. One thinks the bandana is great, adds character and is generally cute. The other thinks the bandana is stupid and makes me look like I have stupid humans.
So…friends, I turn to you. Yea or nea on the bandana as a dogecessory?
Vote below…and I’ll go with you: majority rules!

Merry Christmas, Friends!
I can't believe how the holidays flew by! They were my FAVORITE! Here it is almost February and I haven't had a chance to tell you about things!
Well, there were people and treats, of course, but most importantly, PRESENTS! Here I am opening mine! And lest you doubt I can open a present, I give you the video, so you can see me merrily opening my gift!

I'm sorry. So Sorry.
The Greatest Thing In the Whole, Entire World.
A pup cup is really, truly, the greatest thing in the whole, entire world.

And suddenly, my whole world changed....
I'll back it up.
Saturday. The humans are off doing what they do. I'm outside running around, chasing rabbit smells and all is right with the world.
They come home. I know they're there, but they don't come get me. A little odd, but whatev, I have a yard to run laps around.
Finally, after what seems like an eternity, he slooooowly opens the door and starts talking to me. But it's not a happy voice. It's that slow, deliberate "you-had-better-do-exactly-as-I-say-and-be-very-careful" voice that he uses when the very small, squeaky humans come to visit and crawl around on my floor.
Anyway, he holds on tightly to my collar and walks me across the room. Now, I'm smelling something funny, but I am not prepared for this:
Sitting, there, in my cage is this little, black something or other. I was SO confused. It definitely wasn't a little dog...and it wasn't one of the rabbits I chase around the backyard...what WAS it?? and why did it keep reaching through the cage and swatting my nose??
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE HUMANS WERE SO CALM ABOUT IT. I stared and I stared and I stared as if to say, "I don't know what you are or where you came from, but I will not let you out of my sight not for one single second and just what are your intentions coming in here?? Too bad I can't get in there or I would box you to a PULP!"
I tried to warn them, but they didn't care!! This THING was in my house and they were completely OBLIVIOUS! The absurdity of it is beyond comprehension.
But wait, friends, it gets better.
They were not only OK with it being there, but they TOUCHED IT! Look at this one! She is holding and speaking to it in a happy voice. Yep, a happy voice. Directed at it, not me.
So, for the rest of the day I stared and I sniffed and I kept a close and wary eye on this creature.
This thing was NOT about to take my humans down.
Not on my watch.
But we all know they aren't the brightest and there is no telling what they'll get themselves into.
(um, yes, if you're wondering this thing had the AUDACITY to curl up in my bed. It has no idea how tough I can be and I would have showed it, except everytime I tried to put it in its' place, the humans jumped all over me, making me sit and telling me to be "gentle." And then it would come tearing at me from across the room, jump on my face and bite my eye! what???)
Well, over the next few days, I kept a careful eye on this thing.
It tore around my house and they keep talking to it in a happy voice. But they keep talking to me in a happy voice too. They took me for a run. Then they took me to Dairy Queen and I got a pup cup. I wasn't sure what they were trying to do.
Oh, and "it" is apparently known as "Molly." And she runs around and around and around the house. And I chase her. Then, when she gets tired, she curls up with me and makes a funny buzzing sound.
It's all very bizarre. I'll keep you posted.

The Big #3!! (Or 21 in my world!)
Hi Friends!
Well, #3 (or 21, depending on who's system you use!) was fantastic!
It started off with a bit of trouble on my part. You see, last night my humans had BLT's for dinner and, get this, didn't share any of the bacon with me!! Can you believe it? So...when one of them got up to go to the gym this morning, I casually sauntered into the kitchen, waited for him to leave, then helped myself to the last few remaining pieces of bacon. This was a little difficult because they were wrapped in papertowels and in the trash, but that didn't stop me and it was D-Licious!
Then, I went back to bed until the other human got up. As we headed downstairs I suddenly realized she would NOT be so happy that I ate that bacon, so instead of going downstairs with her, I decided just to hide on the stairs for a while. That didn't work so well. I could hear her mumbling about bacon grease on the floor and then, in a very NOT happy voice, she called me "bad dog" and made me come into the kitchen. I refused to make eye contact. I do not like being called that name, especially on my birthday. So I creeped into the kitchen and hid behind a chair while she continued to tell me how very naughty I was and how since I'm 3 now I should know better.
A few minutes later, she had it cleaned up and came over and gave me birthday snuggles and all was good. I spent my morning dozing in a sodium-induced haze, then played outside all afternoon. Went for a long run with the human, then, as a birthday treat, I got CANNED dogfood! My favorite! It was delicious.
I also got a special bone. Mmm-mmm.
I'm hoping it's still my birthday tomorrow!
Cheers!

Part Cat?
My humans are theorizing that somewhere in my bloodline, there was a feline.
I have no idea why they would say such a thing.
Ummm...
But I honestly didn't mean to be...
You see, there was this toy just sitting in my room. My Human had been playing with it earlier, then she just left it out...presumably for me.
So, I grabbed it and ripped it up. I mean, wouldn't you??
I was just about done when I heard him coming. All of a sudden it hit me! S$*%! I am going to be in trouble...
And I was. I was scolded, told I was bad in a very, very not-happy voice. And you know how much I love happy voices.
Darn it. I'll try again next weekend to be good.
