Luci happenings...

Phew.... Don DOES like me after all! He put me on the LUCI blogroll!

Tonight is the going away party for Janet... I sure hope I get to go. Mom keeps telling me there is something for me in Don's office, but I haven't gotten it yet. I totally deserve something awesome after all the neglect I got yesterday when my mom ignored me to make this cake instead:

How I feel about Mom's work

There are lots of things to love about going to work with mom:
- Smelling new things.... anywhere there are grad students, there are bound to be funny smells!
- Slippery floors. I LOVE to race around on the tile.
- Elevators.... going up without stairs is crazy. I was scared at first, but now I love it.
- Getting treats and extra petting from mom's friends

There are also things that make me mad about mom's work.... the one today is that even though I love LUCI and spend lots of time there, apparently, I am not worthy of being on their blogroll.... don't they love me?

Home at Last

Its been quite a May for me. First, my parents drove me 30 hours across the country (with a stop off to see my Uncle Jay, which is always much appreciated). I got to go to Nonni and Pop's house in Alabama which was really nice. Then, they made me drive another 30 hours BACK across that darn country.

Some highlights:
- Tricking Nonni into getting up earlier and earlier each morning to take me for walks
- Almost catching a duck.... who knew I wanted them so badly!? It was like something just took over for me that I couldn't control, almost like I was born to go after ducks.
- Nonni giving me treats in every bowl of food.
- Running on the dock and getting pet lots and lots by my pop while watching fish jump in the river.
- Taking over a huge house with just me and my parents while Nonni and Pop were in Spain.
- Meeting that nice policeman in West Texas.
- Eating Brisket at Cooper's Barbeque... YUM! BEEFIES!

Some lowlights:
- My dad getting yelled at by the rest area people who wanted me to get stung by scorpions rather than pee on their grass.
- driving.... and driving.... and driving....
- Getting carried up and down on top of an RV in Austin... (a) why would anyone watch baseball in that heat and (b) don't my parents know that girls were soooo obviously not invited to that party unless they were the kind of girls that Uncle Jay and his friends could hook up with?
- Getting my stomach cut open and a fatty tumor biopsied. I am okay, but I wish they would quit cutting me open... newsflash people: It always just fat!
- My mom throwing food in the river at those stupid fish when I was right there happy to eat it.
- driving.... and driving.... and driving....
- Leaving my Nonni and Pop

So, summary.... it was a good trip and dogs do love trucks, but I am glad to be laying in the middle of my living room floor back in California!

Happy Saint Patricks Day!

My mom brought me special treats from the place named after me!

New friend Bolt

My mom's friend Melissa came over last night with her daughter Z. We watched Bolt... it was so fun! Also, we had pizza which means my dad gave me a lot of crust. I am so happy that he hates crust, because it means thatI get to eat a lot of it.... nevermind that it makes me gassy later. Anyway, the good news is that we had this whole thing about whose human different people were, and my dad is my human, but Melissa said I have two humans so I guess my mom is also my human. Anyway, Z decided she was Penny, and Melissa was Bolt. So, that meant Z is Melissa's human, and it was sooo funny because she was crawling on the floor and Z pretended she had a leash to walk her. M wasn't a very good walker with the leash though, kinda like me, and so Penny, I mean Z, I mean Penny, kind of gave up. Oooh I have to run.... my dad just made me ground turkey for dinner... yum! Nevermind that I am personally growing my parents' carbon footprint with my carnivorous diet and habit of pooping everywhere.

Update from a big fur ball

Hi there,

I've been busy busy busy the last few months. I like to move around the house a lot and sleep in a different room at various hours through the day and night. I like my mom's office and my bedroom the best.. luckily for me they are right on top of one another. My parents keep insisting on calling my room the "guest room" but most of the time, there are no guests, and they each have their own rooms... even if they do call them "offices" so I think I should have my own room.

Anyway, lets see what else.... well, my fur is growing out long now. It has been crazy cold here (well, cold for California... not like there is snow or anything). My dad says its good to have the long fur for the cold weather, but really, I think it just makes me stink, and my mom totally agrees. As if its not bad enough that they all yell at me all the time about my breath! Now, my fur gets wet in all this rain and it stinks too. I stink so bad that Zabelle my little friend brought over this weird things like baby wipes for my teeth. My mom tortures me with them, and my dad even got out a toothbrush and tried to brush my teeth. I showed them though and spit that toothpaste all over them and ran away and hid in the other room.

Oh I almost forgot, I do have one pretty cool piece of news.... my dad's book is finally out Now there will be a whole lot less stomping and cursing going on around here! I can finally relax and sleep and snore in peace.

Love you all!

Savannah the furry little stink monster
