Mom gave me a bath today..  Just because Penny rolled herself in some stinky stuff outside doesn't mean I need a bath.  But mom thought if she was gonna get all wet bathing Penny, she may as well bath me.  Thanks Penny, old buddy. I'll remember that!!!

Mom and some of her friends when to the Pet Expo in Oaks and she came home all excited and told the me and the other dogs that she bought us a new dog bed! 

Mom took it out of the bag and put it in the livingroom.  Then we dogs followed mom into the kitchen to see what kind of snack mom was gonna eat. 

We came back in the livingroom and look who took over our new dog bed! Stupid cats around here!  It's a dog bed.  Can't cats see the pictures on the side of the bed??  Oh my goodness!!!

Happy New Year!  I guess I partied too much last night! 

On behalf of all the dogs and even cats in this house,  Merry Christmas!!   I hope Santa Paws finds your house tonight and lets all your pets wonderful gifts!   Hope he lets a few for you all too! 

I was just giving my mom a little love while she was trying to decorate!    I love my mommy much more then the cats around here! 

Catch you soon!  

Hi Gang!
Dad was putting together some weird looking thing.   When he was done, I heard mom say that cat tower is really neat!  WHAT?  A cat tower!  Are you kidding me, a new cat tower for those little brats?  What, wasn't their old one good enough for them anymore?? Are they so special they need a new one every couple of year??   I mean if they didn't destroy it, they wouldn't need a new one.  If they didn't rub their darn claws on that rope stuff it would last so much longer!  Why doesn't mom tell them?? She seems to like when they dig their claws into the rope stuff on their tower.  Really cats have you no manners?  I never do that and the other dogs have manners too, and they never do that!  But mom gets them a new tower.  Something is going to have to give here. I'm not gonna stand for it!  I guess I'll just have to sit down and shut up.  I see Holli has already taken up residence on the stop level of this new tower.   Doesn't she think she's queen of the tower.  This is really getting under my skin.  I'm gonna have to call a meeting of the dogs when mom and dad are at work tomorrow.  Stay tuned.  I'm not sure what's gonna come of all this! 

I don't know if you can tell by this picture or not, but mom gave me a bath. I'm not happy..

Mom wasn't happy with me this morning.  She left me out so I woudn't do my duty in the house.  Guess what was out there?  A big deer!  I got so excited and since mom didn't have me on a leash I chased it out of our yard and into the woods.  I was a good boy and came home in just a few minutes.  But mom didn't reward me at all!  She yelled at me, she picked me up and then she discovered to accomplish the great feat of getting that deer our of our yard, I had to conquer a moat that seems to be everywhere in our yard.  I braved all that mushy, muddy water and I chased that mean deer out of our yard. But mom didn't seem to care, she was just concerned that when she picked me up I was wet, I mean I was dripping wet. Well, I worked hard chasing the deer through all that stuff. Instead mom took a towel, dried me off and threatened me with a bath later in the day, when she'd be fully awake.  If you know my mom, she will go through with her threats, and here I am, clean but very unhappy! 
(Penny got a bath too, and she didn't do anything, I guess she must have smelled) 

Have a great weekend folks!

Love,
Leonard

So, Clara has been here 3 1/2 months.  She is officially part of our family. She seems to feel pretty comfortable around here.  That makes me happy, I like when dogs feel a part of the family.  Now my thoughts on cats, well. let's just skip that comment.

I am not sure Clara's thoughts on cats, we haven't really talked about it alot. I didn't want to burden her right away.  But I did catch Frankie trying to kiss up to her, like she does to Eve.  But I'm not sure if Clara was too happy about it.  Eve doesn't care, but something tells me Clara may feel more like I do about the cats. I have to pull Clara aside and see what her real thoughts are on cats.

 That really doesn't look like a happy face to me!  What do you think?
