Oh I forgot to mention... my parents got engaged while I was shacked up at the pet hotel. Nice... they don't even include me! Well, I was all set to forgive them, because I was like "well at least I will get to be in the wedding like mom promised." But then, my dad said no, and so did my grandparents. So, I ate dad's boxers. That'll teach him :)

I've been getting complaints about not blogging lately... well okay, my mom has. But really people, I am going through my rough doggie teenage years, my mom is nowhere to be found, and I just spent 6 days at my grandparents where I am not even allowed on the furniture. Do you know how hard it is too blog with them not letting me sit in the chair and reach the keyboard? Plus, there is the whole issue of them not letting me be alone while I am there. My pop thinks I am always going to eat stuff, which I am totally not going to do! Puh-lease... I am not a puppy anymore. And then my nonny, well she is feeding me all the time all this good extra stuff I never get at home. So, of course, I have to hang with her a lot, and that just means no time for blogging. Today is good though. The floor guy is here again! He is always here. I wish he would just put the furniture back and go away. He really messes with my relaxation time. But anyway, with him here, I am sort of stuck upstairs anyway, so I might as well blog I guess. Plus, the DSL only works sometimes. Today it is working, so you get to hear from me. It was nice having my mom around all week, but just when I got used to her, she ditched me again. I wonder how long she'll be gone this time?! Oh well, at least I get my spot back in the bed. When she's around, I have to sleep on my bed not the heavenly bed, and that pretty much sucks. Speaking of the heavenly bed, I am tired from all this typing... time to get back to it.

PETsHOTEL - COMFORTABLE
Thsi is where I am staying this week. Today is my first day here. It is really fun. When we first got here, I was nervous because all the other dogs had treats and food and stuff with them. And I was worried that my dad was going to leave me with nothing! But then, I found out that they feed me their food and also they are giving me a special ice cream treat tomorrow. I am so excited about that. I miss my parents, but not that much. Here, everyone says how pretty I am, and they pet me, and they let me go down the doggie slide. I am making so many new friends, and I have my own room with my own tv. At home, I have to share the tv with my parents, and they hardly ever put on Animal Planet. But here, I have Animal Planet all day long. It's the best!

This weekend was really good. My dad was home the whole weekend and only left to go play golf a little. But when he comes back from playing golf, he is always in a really good mood and plays fetch with me and stuff. Plus, he mowed the lawn. I was tired of all those grass pieces getting stuck up my nose all the time. The only bad thing is that now with all this golf stuff, he puts in the house a lot. And that means he is not laying on the couch with me and petting me and feeding me and giving me treats. I try to lay between him and the cup where he is trying to make the ball go, but he just doesn't get it. I might have to get more drastic and start getting the balls and throwing them down the stairs. Maybe then he will stop it and go back to how it used to be.

I haven't been able to blog too much recently, because my dad keeps me outside all day most of the time now. That has been good, because I talk to the neighbor dogs and sleep and watch the squirrels, but it means I don't have that much access to the computer anymore to blog. My mom has been getting a lot of grief about it though, and so I figured I should really pick it back up. So, this morning, when my dad was in the shower, I threw up all over the bed. I figured, no way he can keep me outside when my tummy is upset, so here I am, back inside, on the guest bed (mom and dad's bed is nasty and smells like puke now) writing about my life. Let's see... updates.... mom's still gone, but I think she might come back one day. I mean there's a lot of her clothes still here. So, unless dad Scott Peterson-ed her, she should be back soon. And the only other update is that our floors are still messed up... bummer. I can't slide around on them as much anymore. Okay, back to sleeping for me. Dad said the dirty one is coming over tonight... I wonder what that means.

I haven't been able to blog as much lately because my dad keeps leaving me outside all the time. But I will try to find some time for it somewhere.

Yesterday was such a good day. My dad put out this big blanket for me, and I got to lay on it outside all day like a picnic. It rained a little, but I didn't mind because my blanket was dry and I just stayed there pretty much. When he got home, he gave me lots of treats. I don't really know why... all I did was lay on the blanket under the dry stuff all day. Usually, I work really hard at the lawn and stuff by running through the mud, and then he doesn't give me treats. He's weird.

i had a really good weekend.... i have my dad soooo well trained. i but my head against the door, and he comes and plays fetch with me, well, sometimes. sometimes he just stands at the door and watches me. i drop the ball for him, but he doesn't throw it. i don't really understand, but i keep butting my head against the door cause at least sometimes i get to play... and i am just a dog and don't really understand the principles of differential and random reinforcement.

Ahhhh my picture was all the way on a different page! But people have to see how cute I am... how else will they know to come and pet me????????

I've been getting really bored lately. I mean, mostly I sleep still, and that is good, and I have been spending a lot more time in the heavenly bed, and that makes me happy. But, my dad is working all the time now, and my mom, well, I don't know, maybe she's not coming back? But the main thing is that now that I have the bed all the time, both day and night, I am getting tired of it. Is it really possible? I have been waiting for this day for so long, and now, well, now I don't care. Maybe I just liked getting away with something ... it was special, now it just exists.... blah! Maybe I should start eating more stuff, that'll teach them not to leave me alone for so long.

Best home services.... try worst home services. Things have calmed down at my house, but my dad is still all mad, and my mom hasn't been home in FOREVER... I hope it's not cause of the carpet guy!

At least my uncle Pitch is in town. He's not really my uncle, but we call him that anyway cause he plays with me lots. My dad went to sleep last night and he stayed up and played with me for like an hour after, and today, I got to take a nap while he pet me. He's almost as good as my mom, but I still miss her.

Today is a bad day in Atlanta. It is really hot, and the carpet cleaners were here this morning. And they were supposed to come for a warranty service, and it was supposed to be free, but then they tried to get money from my dad. When he said no, they dumped all this really gross stuff everywhere, and then dad had to call the police. It's really bad, and I don't like it. It is really disrupting my sleeping time.

Mom's back in town, and my uncle is staying with us too. It's okay, but I don't get my spot on the couch now that there are three people, and that is sad. But at least someone takes me out during the day now!

Its just me and my dad at home right now, which is good because mom was sick anyway, and I don't like it when she's sick. She's all crabby and doesn't pet me that much and then she coughs on me and stuff. Except now it is kind of bad, because even though she is out of town, and I do get to sleep in the bed every night, its not that fun because dad is sick now too. And so I don't get any rest at all with all that sneezing and stuff. Good thing he is at work all day and I can catch up on my sleep then. Speaking of.... yawn... better get back to it.

My mom just got back in town. She was gone to Intel in Portland and in Seattle and to see my Aunt Ali in Utah. I missed her I guess, but I did get to sleep in the bed with dad the whole time she was gone. Now, I just sleep on the floor like a dog... so sad. Don't they know I am the queen of the house? At least now that mom is home, my dad gets out of bed on time. One day while she was gone, I had to wake him up. He was just laying there, and he kept getting mad at me for putting my paw on his chest, but I had to pee, and he just wasn't listening. So, finally he got up. Now, it is much better.... I don't have to hold it nearly as long. Oh well, speaking of, it's time for me to go out. Hopefully, I can find some burs to get into. That's fun, because my parents get sooo mad about it.

My aunt Ali's friend was here last night. It kind of made up for Sadie being gone cause she pet me a lot.... but still I miss my friend. Maybe for my dad's birthday, they will get me a brother... maybe a big ole Great Dane.

My friend Sadie is soooo funny. When my dad wakes her up to go outside, she poops in the house on the way just to mess with him. And he cleans it up! He doesn't even yell at her. I think its because she's old. If I did that, I would be in soooo much trouble. That's why I like her. She's funny....

Right now I am lounging on my mom's feet on the heavenly bed. I wish she would go away so I could have it all to myself. At least she left me the tablet so I can blog.

Today I ate all of Sadie's food, and my mom got mad, but I don't care because I am cute, and she won't stay mad.

I have a friend visiting me now... Sadie.... she is old and throws up a lot, but I like her anyway.
