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?

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!
