I’m Awesome and I Got a Boo-Boo…What’s New?!

I did it again. I am not sure how. But I gave myself a boo-boo!

I think it has to do with my eye-ball, those allergies, the same ones that got my eye-ball!

My paw was really itchy so I started licking it. Well! Mom found out and noticed it was pink because I licked it so much. I tried to run away, but she is fast!

She put some smelly stuff, that I tried to lick (she stopped me from doing that too!!) and then wrapped it up. I can’t even get to it now. So I try and lick it through the wrapping she put on it.

And you know what?! I can’t even go hiking because of it. I LOVE HIKING, but she says I can’t go until it gets better.

Mom says it should be better in a few days. But I don’t know if I can do a few days of this! Where is an unobedient…I mean unobservant parent when you need one!?

How I Drive Mom Nuts, and How You Can Too!

*Note Mom can't drowned my stuff friends if I sleep with them really close!

Hi Everyone!

It’s Awesome, and I am so excited to share with you some new things I learned.

Okay, take note!

I noticed when Dog wants to wake Mom up in the morning, she taps her paw on Mom’s nightstand. I’ll admit, it does work, but not as well as a paw slap to the face! That’s right. I figured out that Mom really jumps out of bed if I take my paw and smack it right in her face. It’s a great tool to use when you want action right that minute!

Secondly, Mom doesn’t always like to play ball with me. I have also figured out a way to fix this. So get ready to write down tip number two. Take your ball or balls and drop them into the pool, then whine and start trying to swim with just your paw, careful not to fall in, and act like you are struggling to get that ball back. This gets Mom to come over, because she doesn’t want you to fall in, and she doesn’t like the ball(s) getting wet. Now, don’t worry, if you don’t have a pool. My alternative to this is walk over to a pile of poo and just let the ball fall right into it! This really gets Mom’s attention and she will play with you, after she cleans off the ball of course.

Oh, Dog just came in the room. Now Dog is reading my post….

“Ummm, no. Why are you telling people this Puppy?”

I’m Awesome now!

“OK…well either way this is not good advice.”

It’s great advice Dog!

“No. This will drive Mom nuts and a nuts Mom is not a happy Mom. A nuts Mom pours a lot of that red liquid into that unstable “cup.” Which, frankly…I don’t understand. Why did people create a cup with a tipsy bottom on a long thin stem with a big cup on top? Then you put liquid in it that makes the person drinking it tipsy. Tipsy for Tipsy!?!?”

“I have no idea what you are talking about Dog, stop ruining my cool post!”

“Fine, I’m leaving. You’re an idiot.”

Okay now, I hope everyone tries these tips! Have fun!

The Good and Bad of Play-dates

Hi Everyone, it’s Awesome and I am so happy to be on here to tell you about my play-date!!!

Where do I start my story of the good and bad of a play-date?

Let’s start with The Friend’s puppy’s name. I don’t know it. No one ever bothers to tell me, and I should know it, we are friends. But I think I figured out what his name is. See, I was watching A&E the other day, as mom had left it on. I think A&E stands for Abuse & Education. I saw that Dog the Bounty Hunter show. Of course I am not sure why that man is called that, he is clearly not a dog.  But I got why it was on Abuse & Education channel, because Dog the Bounty Hunter yells and swears and throws people down, that would be the abuse part, then for the eduction part he goes on and on about how much he loves them. What a great guy!! You can never have too much love!! But after that show, a program about crack cocaine came on.  That was very informative, and I now know The Friend’s puppy’s name.

The Friend’s puppy’s name is Cracky. We have a lot of fun, and I was so excited to finally know his name on the play-date!! So Dad takes me over to see Cracky, I am excited and happy to see Cracky, but Cracky is crazy! We play and play and I am so happy, but I get tired and lay down and Cracky just climbs over me and bites me to keep playing. I am not sure why A&E didn’t talk about the effect of crack on puppies.

I really need a friend like the one I saw on TV a little bit ago, this bouncy guy by the name of Tigger. He looks to be a great friend for a play-date.

GOOD: Play-dates are fun, even with Cracky, because I love his energy.

BAD: Cracky can be a bit much even for happy and playful me!

Why My Brother Is An Idiot

Hey, it’s Dog and I realized I can no longer keep mom’s blog visitors in the dark.

Awesome…is an idiot.

I know, EVERYONE LOOOOOVEEES him. Well you don’t see what I see.

My brother...Awesome(ly an idiot)

Example 1: Awesome couldn’t get into the house from the backyard the other day because an extension cord was in his way. That is correct, he was AFRAID to step over it. So he barked until mom came and got him.

Example 2: Mom built a block wall thing in the backyard, it’s about a foot high. Awesome can’t seem to bring himself to jump over it, so he walks alllllllll the way around it.

Example 3: A few days ago Awesome pooped, then turned around to smell it and almost fell in the pile of his own poo.

Example 4: Awesome nearly swallowed a tennis ball on accident. (Don’t worry. Stop worrying. He got those thrown away and replaced with larger tennis balls).

Of course, even though I find my brother to be an idiot, doesn’t mean Mom does. Nope, she still loves Awesome more than M&M’s in her popcorn and bare-feet. Go figure.

Awesome’s Year In Review

My first week home

Hey!!! I saw that Mom and Dog both posted about their year. Dog seems a little upset about me being here. Don’t worry my dear blog visitors, I will get Dog to like me yet!

Okay, so my year…

It was awesome! And why wouldn’t it be!?!?!

At the beginning of 2010 I was just chilling with my brothers and sisters, sleeping in crate thing in this lady’s kitchen. I woke up from a nap, my head shoved between a sister and the water bowl, to find these two people looking at me. These people, who I didn’t know at the time, were my Mom and Dad. They hugged me and looked me over then just before they left they put me back into the crate thing. I was confused, but knew something big was gonna happen because my Dog Dad peed on Mom’s leg just before she left. THAT meant something. And guess what!! Mom and Dad came back for me!!!

In 2010 I learned that Mom makes mad faces when I try to eat rocks and leaves and dirt. She also made happy faces and she liked to carry me around, even though I knew I was too heavy and that my legs clearly were in working order.

But Dog was another story! I don’t think Dog liked me at first, and I’m not sure Dog even likes me much after all this time. Every morning I am so excited to go visit Dog in her bed. I bring her toys and talk to her, but she doesn’t seem to like it. Mom likes me visiting her in the morning, she always has a sleepy “Hi” and pets me. Maybe Dog and Dad are a lot alike, because Dad doesn’t like me saying hi in the morning to him. He covers his head with a pillow. I don’t think that is a good sign.

What have I done in 2010?? So much, I learned to chew and not chew, I learned I love the water hose, I went hiking, and for walks, and to the dog park. I also have mastered 3 tennis balls in my mouth at once and I discovered it’s rather cool to sleep through the night!

But 2010 was the best because we went from one house that was cool to another house that was cool. I am most grateful for the huge water bowl outside! It is so refreshing after I play with Dog. Yet Mom still yells “NO POOL WATER!” If I could get a human voice I would yell back at her, “It’s not pool water Mom, it’s a WATER BOWL!!” Maybe some day she will figure it out.

What else?? Well not much, it was just a great year!! So what are my new year’s resolutions going to be….

To stay awesome! And why not?!?! That’s my name after all.

Awesome’s Movie Review – Santa Buddies

Hi everyone, Awesome here.

Last night Mom turned on this movie for me. At least I think she did it for me because I couldn’t stop watching it!! It was amazing!!! The movie was called Santa Buddies and it was about dogs and puppies. I didn’t really follow the story because I kept having to go outside to play in the puddles from the rain.Yes it rained! And I was running around and making a wonderfully awesome mess! Oh yes, the movie…

I learned so much from the Santa Buddies movie. At first I sat and watched it, then I barked at those dogs, then I ran up and tried to go through the front of the TV to get to them. It didn’t work, the whole TV thing is rather confusing to me.

But these Santa Buddies taught me many things.

1. how to climb a tree

2. how to knock cookies off the counter and eat them (I didn’t know I could do that!)

3. how to bust a move

4. how to roll in dirt and shake it all over the house (And I thought puddles were fun!)

5. that dogs can talk

It’s true these dogs and puppies were talking. I don’t think Dog understood either, Dog just kept tilting her head, back and forth, back and forth looking at the TV. I can type, but talk?!?!

Anyway this movie Santa Buddies is my favorite movie of all time! Mom said the movie was baaaadddddd, but how could it be!! Santa’s Buddies know it all! I learned so much. I can’t wait to use all this knowledge!

Puppy Becomes Awesome: Happy 1st Birthday To Me!

Today is my 1^st birthday, and I am excited. Although I am not sure as to why, since I have yet to see any balloons or cake. Isn’t that what is supposed to happen on birthdays?

I am guessing Mom, yep, not Mama anymore, I am a big boy, so Mom is busy, so I figured she wouldn’t mind if I got on her blog and spoke about all that has been going on.
We live in a new place now, it’s rather nice, and has a giant water bowl outside! I am not sure as to why Mom calls it a pool and insists that I do not drink from it, although I still try too. I would prefer if she and Dad didn’t swim in my water bowl, regardless of if I can drink from it or not. They did that a few times when we first got here. I find it rather rude. I just hope they didn’t pee in it. Regardless, it simply cannot be a pool because a pool is a little blue plastic thing we had back at our last place. I sure hope Mom gets me a pool for this coming summer!

Besides the huge water bowl outside, inside has created some special times. First I love this little room that has two sides and allows me to catch up to Dog rather easily.  I am not sure if Dog likes it as much as me, as I often find her with a look of agitation on her face. But Mom and I play hide and seek around it, which is rather thrilling.  It’s a great little area and gives me lots of room to plan my tricks on the family.

My favorite place to rest when Mom is taking a shower is something that makes Mom rather agitated, it’s between the toilet and the shower. She says it’s the dirtiest place I could find to lay, but I think it is the best!!

There is a wonderful tree out back that produces some wonderfully tasty leaves and even better bark! Yet again Mom says I can’t eat that stuff, so I do it when she is not looking, yet I think she figures it out later when I dash outside to go number two.

 

I’ve also taken back up hiding under the guest bed. I really don’t fit anymore, but I love it almost as much as my spot between the toilet and shower.

Other than that, it is pretty much the same as the old place. My favorite of favorite places to sleep is still here,  (on Mom’s arm) but Mom is still busy, and I am not longer a puppy. So I have now decided that since we can’t have two Dogs on this blog, that Dog will stay Dog, and I will become Awesome. Although I can think of another good name for Dog, Mom says it’s not appropriate. I wonder why? She is a rather grumpy female dog…

Puppy’s Anger With Cell Phones

Morning! It’s puppy here. What a great morning for me, no more antibiotics! Horray!

Okay, now to get to an important issue I’ve been having….cell phones.

I’m not sure why everyone I meet has one of these things. What is it that you people do on them that is so important? Sometimes they even seem to make people mad. I’ve seen it before, they get mad at them and throw them or slam them on the table. If so many people hate them why have them?

Secondly, Mommy is on her cell phone a lot. Well I am not sure what a lot is but, it seems to be a lot to me. Do you know how I know that it is officially time to start the day? I hear the cell phone turn on. And how do I know when the day is over? I hear the cell phone turn off. At least I assume that is what it is doing since after it makes that noise Mommy doesn’t get happy or angry or busy on it.

Of course Daddy has one too, only his makes a lot more noise than Mommy’s cell phone. What is so important that you can only  discuss with your fingers?!

Then there is a guy that comes over, I will call him, Friend. Friend must be really special because it doesn’t beep, but shakes and sometimes it even yells profanity!! But it shakes a lot, more than Mommy’s or Daddy’s cell phone beeps. But I let it slide with Friend because he plays with me THE ENTIRE TIME he is here!!!! Can you believe that?! So you can see why I ignore his cell phone habit.

But really humans! What is it with these things?! Do you need them that much? And why is it that sometimes when it beeps you say “I can’t see it all on here,” and have to go get on these computers?! It’s like a cycle!

If I could, I would take Mommy’s cell phone and chew it on all the corners, then take it outside and poop on it!

Have you people thought about barking?!
