THE PIGGY AND THE WOOLUFF!

On Saturday, September 22, 2012, Mommy took Anya and me to a Pig Roast.  I wasn't sure what she meant by that, but when we got there, we all had a lot of fun.  There were lots of people, music, and food.

I made a new furry friend.  His name is Diriko - he looks a lot like Anya, with white fur and blue eyes, but he is TWICE as big as she is.  Mommy said Diriko is part Wolf - that's why he's so big.  MY, WHAT BIG BEAUTIFUL EARS HE HAS!  He was very handsome and nice and let us play with him in his big playground. 

Mommy stayed close by at the Pig Roast. 

All I can say about that is, I am GLAD that I am not a PIGGY!

THE LAMPSHADE DIARY

09/10/2012

Today I went with Mommy to the animal clinic.  I had no idea what was going on - I usually get a cookie - but NOT this time.  Mommy left me there - she never does that - she always stays with me - I don't like that at all.  I don't understand why, but I was a big girl and went in the back room with the technician.

They gave me something and it made me go to sleep.  Then, when I woke up - I had this STUPID LAMPSHADE over my head.  What's up with that?

I felt really funny and dizzy and cried for my Mommy.  When she picked me up, I cried a little, but felt better when Mommy let me sit in her lap.  I had to bring home that lampshade.  Mommy said I can take it off in a few days.  She said I had to have a special procedure done - she called it "spayed" - I don't know what that means, but I will be glad when the lampshade goes away - it is hard to eat or drink - Mommy has been holding the food and water bowl up for me so I can reach it.  She also has been giving me medicine, but it tastes like peanut butter and I really like that!

MY WEEKEND AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

August 19, 2012

I had a great time this weekend with my Mommy and big sister Anya.  We went to Rocky Mountain National Park and stayed the weekend.  Mommy was on duty Saturday and Sunday, and we got to stay with her and hang out at the Park. 

Saturday night, we stayed at a cabin with some of Mommy's park friends.  They were nice and had a dog that we played with. 

We ate breakfast early Sunday morning at Upper Beaver Mountains (in the Park) with Mommy.  For lunch, we ate at a picnic area close to Fall River.

We sure were pooped when we got home and me took a long nap. 

Mommy said we were very good and will take us to more places with her. 

YAY MOMMY!

I AM 25 WEEKS OLD NOW! AND, WELCOME MY NEW LITTLE BROTHER THUMPER!

August 13, 2012

In two days, I will be 25 weeks old - and I already weight 37 pounds!
My Mommy says I am getting cuter everyday - AHHHH, she's just biased because she loves me so much.

My big sister, ANYA the Siberian Husky, is still my best friend forever.  Guess what?  We are going camping with Mommy this coming Saturday - it is my first time to go camping, and I am very excited.  ANYA said that we will have lots of fun, especially snuggling with Mommy at night.

ALSO - I have a new little adopted Brother - His name is THUMPER SNUGGLEBUNNY MARSTON-MCGREGOR.  His full name wouldn't fit on his nametag, so Mommy just had THUMPER MARSTON put on it.  He's so cute and fluffy.  I gave him puppy kisses, and he's so little, it made him all wet (heeee).



Meshuggah and Gracie - almost the same size now!

June 16, 2012

I'M A ROCKY MOUNTAIN DOG!

Mommy took me to Rocky Mountain National Park where she is a volunteer - I got to play at the park with visitors and walk around with Mommy all day - we had a picnic at Endovalley Picnic Area for lunch, too.  Mommy said that if I am really good, she will bring me back.

I had so much fun - and I was very good and gave everyone lots of puppy hugs and kisses.

MY FIRST VET VISIT!

May 11, 2012

I went to the Vet Clinic for the first time today - they were very nice - I gave my tech a big doggie kiss!
Also got more puppy shots - Mommy said it is to keep me safe and healthy.

The Vet Tech gave me some yummy treats for being a good girl!

I now weigh 14.2 pounds.

Mommy said I will be as big as my big sister Anya in a few more months.

MY NEW HOME!

April 21, 2012

I have a new home and I love my new Mommy and family.  Mommy named me GRACIE.  She said it means "God's Grace" just like my new big sister, ANYA, the Siberian Husky.  Her name means "God's Grace" in Russian. 

I also have a big sister boo-boo kitty, CHEYENNE MARIE.  She is 5 years old and very sweet and also likes dogs (but no cats, she likes to be the only boo-boo kitty). 

I also have 3 big human brothers, BILLY, JAKE and TONY.

My Mommy and my new big brother JAKE picked me up from the farm where I was born and took me on a very long car ride to get to my new home.

My new Mommy brought a nice box with a blanket and toys for me to ride in.  The blanket smells like my birth mommy and I snuggle with it at bedtime.

I may be small right now, but someday I will be as big as them.  They are very careful not to play too rough. 

My favorite spot is in my new Mommy's lap.  She's very soft.

When I got to my new home, my new big sister ANYA and JAKE's dog SHUGGAH greeted me at the door and we had lots of doggie kisses.  My new home is very fun.  I have stairs to run up and down. 

They played with me and showed me my new big back yard and where all the toys are.  They also showed me where my food and water bowl is, and also where my new bed is.

I LOVE MY NEW HOME!
