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?

I'm having a good day. It may be raining out there but I'm chilling and snoozing with my friend Eve.  No cats in sight, like I said, I'm having a good day! 
Hope you are too!

 

Are you kidding me?  "NO NO NO!!  I was here first Ms. Francesca!  I do not want to, and will not agree to share a bed with you!  I could get cat germs!  This is not acceptable! I will not share a bed with you no matter how much you pay me!  NO NO NO!  Francesca get out of my space  before I call the SPCA or somebody to get you out of my space!!   I'm gonna count to ten and by ten you better to gone!   One...... Two........ Three.......   

"Mom, I have a really bad situation here, if you can't help I'll have to go farther!!!"  

Four....  Frankie, get out!!!!        Five......

Six..... 

seven.....

Eight......

Nine.....

TEN.........                         MOM!!!!!

I am so excited!  I was allowed to take off the stupid cone!  The doctor said my eye is healed!  I'm thrilled to throw out the cone.  

I just got an idea.  Maybe I could try it on one of the cats?  That would be so funny!  I have to figure out which one I should put it on!!!  Hummmmm.....stay tuned!  

I give up. the vet visit was unsuccessful!  The vet said my eye looked much better (which is good). But mom should keep putting the drops in and I should keep wearing the collar until my next check up mid week next week!  So Katie is gonna take me again on Wednesday.  I sure as heck hope the collar can be removed then!  I'm so tired of this and it's just humiliating! 

I hope you all stay dry this weekend.  At least when I go out to go potty, if I keep my head down my face won't get wet in the rain.  This collar is good for something!

This is really not a dignified way to eat. I'm really getting tired of this collar!  I have had it on since I left the vet on Monday night.  It is crazy and stupid.  Who designed it anyway?  I'm gonna find that person and bite their butt!!  I can't scratch my ear, I have to lift my head high when I run up the steps (or it throws me back down, which isn't cool at all). Life wearing this cone is not the way it should be!  


I have found that when mom gives me a bone and I bite it in half, I never seems to lose the other half, it is stuck in my collar.  The problem then is to get it out of my collar, mom has to rescue me and find it and feed it to me again.  It's really humiliating to say the least.  I'm so glad she didn't take me for a walk to further humiliate me.  I've stayed very close to home this past week.

I was told that today I'm going to the vet again.  I don't like the vet at all.   However, I will make an exception to not argue about the appointment today.  The vet is gonna check my eye (which will be nasty again, some stupid drop in my eye and then a bright light on it)  I am mentally prepared for what is going to happen this time, but I'm sure I'll squirm for the vet when he looks at it. You know how your eye is when the eye doctor comes at you with this thing to drop in your eye.  Anyway, if I'm good and pass the test, they will take off this horrible cone of shame and I can live again!  Katie said she'd take me to the appointment cause mom is going away.  I will try to be better in the vet's waiting room, but when I see all the other dogs, I want to talk to them.  But mom never sees it that way and tells me to be quite, she goes as far as to take me outside and we wait there until it's my turn.  This is my opportunity, my chance for a soapbox for my fellow dogs and she takes me out of the situation.  How can I explain to her I need to spread some dog words?

oh well, I'll have to ponder that thought until my next vet visit.  But for now, I'm anxious to go and see if they'll take off this STUPID CONE! Wish me luck!!!
