I hope I didn’t worry you!
I’m feeling LOTS better since I had my surgery, but man am I bored. I’m not allowed to go outside unless it’s to go potty, and for the first few days I wasn’t even allowed to play so you can just imagine how b-o-r-i-n-g that was.
Mom has been staying home with me instead of going to the dog park. I know how much she likes it there, so I’m glad that she’s waiting until I’m able to go too. Man, I can’t wait to see my friends and go swimmin!
I go back to the place with the nice ladies on Monday to get my stitches out. Mom says that I’ve been a really good boy about leaving my stitches alone and that’s why she’s been giving me extra treats and playing lots of fun games in the house. I guess I can’t complain TOO much.
Man, I can’t wait until Monday.

What the heck?
Mom and Dad took me ‘bye bye’ today and usually that means fun, so I was all for it. We ended up at the place where all the ladies tell me how cute I am and pass me around. That was fine until one of the ladies took me away from Mom and Dad and the next thing I remember was waking up from a nap and feeling very ouchy. I don’t know whose idea this was, but they’re going to be in big trouble when I figure it out.
I should have known something was up because Mom let me do a lot of fun stuff yesterday. I got to go swimming three times and I got to play at the park with my friends between each swim. And then we walked and walked and walked. Then later that night Mom played ball with me outside in the back yard.
Mom tells me that I’ll feel better soon and she gave me some medicine that makes me feel sleepy and takes away the ouchies.
I over heard Mom tell Dad that it’s going to be a long 10 days because I’m not allowed to go outside until my stitches are out except to go potty. We’ll see about that. I plan to drive them crazy until they give in. If that doesn’t work, I’ll give them my cute little puppy dog eye look. Mom’s a big sucker for that.
At least I don’t have to wear one of those cone things that some of the other dogs were wearing. They looked really silly, and that’s not how I roll.

A new place to play
Mom wanted to get some work done today, so thought she’d take me to my hangout to play with my friends. Mom calls it “Cheers” because it’s where I go that everyone knows my name. Well, not everyone, but the regulars do.
My friend, Kiley’s mom (Kiley isn’t my friend yet), was there and a bunch of dogs I didn’t know. Most of them were big, so I decided to just chillax next to Mom. There was no way that I wanted to bring any attention to my self around those guys. Mom said that I could just chillax at home, so we left the park. Little did I know that we were going to ANOTHER dog park. Mom’s heard good things about this park and so off we went.
When we first got there, Mom took me to the ‘little’ dog area. Some of those little dogs were really rude and not fun like the dogs at my regular hangout, so we trotted over to the big dog park. Mom and I walked toward a group of people standing in a circle watching their dogs. It was a lot like what goes on at the other place, so we decided to hang out with them. There were two bulldogs, one beagle and a baby pug. I followed the beagle around for a while, but he wasn’t really interested in chasing me, so I sat next to Mom and chilled. One of the bulldogs came over and pushed his nose up under my chest and I knew what THAT meant! He wanted to play!
He chased me around for a while and then the baby pug got in on the action. We raced around in big circles around the moms and dads and then I had a GREAT idea! I took off as far as I could, way far away from Mom. She tells me that she was calling my name, but I didn’t hear her (tee hee). She decided that we’d been out long enough (almost four hours), so we headed toward the gate. That’s where I met a really cute little human girl that wanted to play with me. Normally, I only like human boys, but she seemed nice enough. She was soo nice, that I decided that Mom could just go home by herself. I wanted to follow that girl.
That was pretty much the end of the fun until we got home. Mom thought that I’d be pooped out from all the running, but it was such a nice day! I begged and whined until Mom took me outside to play in my play area. I swam in my pool and did a little digging around in the dirt. It’s two hours later and I’m still trying to blow that dirt out of my nose.
Oh, and remember that present from Grandma that I told you about? Here I am wearing it:
I think Grandma is on to something…. I DO look pretty tough, not to mention handsome.
Thanks Grandma! I can’t wait until it fits. I’ll be king of the park and EVERYONE will know that I mean business!

Oh man, do I have NEWS!
Mom’s been fighting with Vista, so it’s been a while since I’ve updated. You know how that goes… if Mom ain’t happy… Oh wait- that’s not it.
Anyway I have so many things to share with you!
Lessee…..
Mom’s been taking me to the dog park every day that isn’t raining. You’d think that since it’s almost June, we’d be there every day. Well, we live in Seattle so I don’t think I need to say any more about that.
With each visit, I’ve warmed up a little more to the people and dogs in the park. There are a group of us who just like to hang out with our moms and dads. Our job is to make sure that each mom and dad gets a visit from each of us. That’s pretty much all we do.. well except for Kiley the Jack Russell Terrier. She just runs around barking at us trying to get us to chase her. Good luck with that Kiley.
Two days ago, I took a fancy to a little Lhasa Apso and decided that she was alright, so I barked at her and put my butt in the air and wiggled it. She took the hint and pawed at me and we took it from there. We chased each other a little bit until this big dog decided to get in on the action. Grrrr, is all I have to say about that.
All the moms and dads cheered me on and told me what a big boy I was after that. Yeah, that’s right. I’m pretty much the bomb diggity at the dog park and everyone knows it. All eyes are on ME all the time.
Today was a big day. It started out with a nice big roll in the deer poop. I had so much deer poop on me that Mom refused to wash me in the sink, meaning I had an outside bath with the hose today. That was AWESOME! I want to roll in deer poop again just so I can play with the hose. Who knew that green thing had water in it?
Mom took my lavender-smelling self to the dog park and I chillaxed with the other guys as usual and suddenly I saw a small person. Somehow he knew that I really liked sticks so he became me new best friend. We chased each other all over the dog park and I was really sad to see him leave. He was cool for a small person. Right after he left, a white Scottie dog came in the park and I lost my mind for a minute and chased him. I remembered really quickly that I don’t play with dogs and that was that.
The best part of the day was when we were leaving the dog park. I caught Mom off guard and she accidentally dropped my leash. I took that as a sign that it was time to walk myself. I think I enjoyed it way more than Mom did, although I saw her laugh a few times. She thought it was funny that I was carrying my own leash when I was running away from her. I’m going to try that again. I like making Mom laugh.
When we got home, Mom showed me something that Grandma and Grandpa sent me in the mail. Grandma calls it my “image maker” and it’s super cool. That’s all I’m going to say about that for now. You’ll just have to wait for the pictures!
Yep, it’s been a great day. I can’t wait for tomorrow, and I don’t even care what Mom has planned. I’m sure whatever it is, it’s going to be fun. Every day is a fun new adventure for me.

Rain, rain go away
...‘cause Mom doesn’t like the way I play.
I’ve decided to show Mom that she can no longer be a fair weathered walker. Nope. If I don’t get my walks, Mom says I turn into Mr. Hyde.
Wouldn’t you if you were cooped up all day?
Last night, Mom and Dad were getting a little frustrated with me because I rang the bell on the door about five minutes after being let out the last time. No, I didn’t need to go potty each time I rang- I just wanted to play in the rain and play in the mud. Sometimes Mom would ignore me, so I rang the bell with even more action. She’s such a sponge. She fell for it almost every time because she was sure that the bell-ringing drama must mean something.
Mom finally took the bell off the door, but I did hear her laugh about it a few times. Dad wasn’t as easily amused. 
It’s raining again today, so Mom put on a hoodie and we went for a walk in the rain. She wasn’t as slow as usual, but that’s OK because I still managed to find lots of mud and puddles to play in along the way.
My favorite part is the towel game that we play when I’m all wet. Mom pretends she’s a bull fighter and I play the ‘biting’ bull.
Hey- I don’t have horns, so I gotta use what the man upstairs gave me- TEETH!
At the end, she throws down the towel and tempts me to dry myself by showing me my favorite treat *du joir. Man, that’s fun.
Now I’m on the couch next to mom, smelling like a wet dog should, gnawing on my bone. It doesn’t get much better than this.
*I say du jour because what I REALLY liked yesterday, I might not like today. I let mom know by spitting it out or pushing it away with my nose. Clever, eh?
