Caturday Art

Furst up, we has our artsy photos to share. 

We are still waiting for my momma to do OUR portraits - for some reason, she are doing da kittehs furst. Somefin about being very unhappy wif failed attempts at painting Angel Whitley years ago. I say she should do my painting next, but I think she are gonna do us later in da year. If ya wanna see Crockett's painting, ya can head on over to Travis' blog.  

Anyways, da COLDS are back here. And not just da colds. Da colds and grays and drizzlies. Dose dat make it a grizzly wif da sniffles?? I don't know, but Finley said my attempts at hoo-more are unbearable. What da woof??  

Yeah, so we ain't goin nowhere today. Just takin it easy and stayin as dry as possible.

Finley had to endure da baff and grooming today (dis are a pre-groomin pic) and she said me and Brinley are scheduled doomed tomorrow! Hmmm, we gotta think of some way to distract momma between now and then. Any advice?

I got all snuggly wif my Dumbo stuffie last nite.

My momma are eggcited for da Dumbo movie next month. She LUVS Dumbo, Tim Burton, and Colin Farrell, so she are lookin forward to it. If only I could sneak into da theater wif her . . .

Ow!

Well today wuz a WEIRD not good day.  We woke up kinda early, went out to do our bidness, den da two of us got in da car.

Wifout breakfast!

Den we went to da vets.  We got weighed, den we went to sleep and woke up feelin not so great.  Our bellies hurt and we has dese scars on em - I don't know WHAT happened.

Finley says welcome to da Big Girls Club and dat now we don't gotta worry bout puppies, unless da mommas decide to torture us in our golden years wif pesky lil sisters - or somefin like dat.  I don't know what she are talkin bout, I are just tired.

We is havin to wear da Cone of Shame™, spend a lotta time in da crate, and our momma's even got us baby onesies.  Since I are bad licker and keep tryin to scratch.  And Brinley has mastered da Cone of Shame™ and can get it off (momma says she are too smart).  I fink I are gonna go back to sleep now.

10 Months!!

I are 10 months old today!!

Me and Brinley got a little trim last night - now we can see again.

And dis week somefin amazin happened - I has been gettin to sleep in da big bed wif my momma!!  She knew I wuzn't feelin da bestest cuz of my bein in heat, so she thought she would lemme up there. And I has been a perfect lil girl every night!  If I keep it up, I get to keep sleepin up there!

Play Hard, Sleep Hard

Me and my BFF Brinley are lil puppies.  Which means we like to play HARD!

Dere are a million and one toys in dis place - we is luvin it!

I are working on killin dis silly flamingo.

Do ya know what my favorite toy are?  Whatefur are in Brinley's mouf!!

I won dis round!

Brinley decided to look cute for da camera, and I made off wif da toy.

Yeah, my BFF are a cutie pie.

Work it girlfriend!

I got some cute poses of my own too.

And we luv tennis balls - momma wuz sayin we wuz da Venus and Serena of lil puppies!

And yeah, she made me take a pic wif her too.  She luvs me tons.

And since we is lil puppies and we play so hard, we sleep HARD too.

Da floor, a bed, it don't matter.  We'll sleep there!

We is such good sleepers - no howling or barking or whining or nuffin again last nite!  Da mommas says we is magic puppies, well, duh we are speshul.  Couldn't dey tell dat.

Ok, I are off to get some sleep, I gotta keep my energy up for chasin dem kitty cats.

Tied Up

Hey y'all.  Well, yesterday I told ya I wuz back to stumblin round.  Which are good news.  But it made my momma worried dat I would try gettin outta da bed again in da middle of da night and re-injure myself (which has happened a couple of times).  Leavin me on da floor or puttin me in a crate overnight didn't seem like da bestest solushins since I'd be barkin and whinin to get up on da bed.  Den Finley's momma had an idea.

First my momma moved my Ariel blankie and princess pillow up next to da wall near da head of da bed.  What da woof momma???  My spot are in da corner at da foot of da bed, it has been for almost 13 years now.  She put my blankie on top of a big pillow and right underneath da Britney posters.  And yup, any rood comments bout my momma's musical tastes will be met wif a terrrierst butt bite.  Ya has been warned.

Anyways, I wuz confuserated.  I got even more confuserated when she got a leash and a harness out and tied da leash up to one of da corners of her four poster bed.  What da woof???  I's not into da 50 Shades of Gray stuff, and besides dis room are more like 50 shades of pink.  And I are more like 50 shades of white and off-white.  So I wuz gettin super confuserated!

Da leash and da harness wuz to keep in me in place overnight.  Da furst night, I wuzn't too happy - I wanted to go down to da foot of da bed.  But I has been gettin used to it and sleepin on my pillow real good for a couple of nights now.  Sleepin in da harness don't bother me and it are way better dan bein crated.  So yay for Finley's momma for havin a good idea.  And dat ain't da only good idea she's had lately - she got me somefin super speshul for my Gotcha Day - I can't wait to test it out!!

On The Road Again . . .

Hey y'all!  I'm back from anudder road trip!  Dis time, me and Finley and da mommas went to da bustlin megapolis of Kerrville, Texas.  BOL BOL!  Ok, it are where James Avery are headquartered, so it are not outta da queshtun dat my momma would go there for shoppin, but we acksually went dere to see my momma's grandparents (Finley's momma's parents).  I just calls em Nana and Pawpaw, since dat are what my momma calls em.

I did a lotta dis on da way down.  It are bout a 6 hour drive, so I had bout a 6 hour nap!  And dis time I gots to sit in my momma's lap on my princess pillow.

I did some snuffin round dere backyard, but I didn't run and bounce round like I used to.  My leg are doin bout da same - it are not great, but it are not as bad as it has been.  I can balance on it to do my bizness, I can sometimes put weight on to walk, but most da time I are draggin it round or hoppin along.

Usually, I woulda been sittin wif Nana and Pawpaw and gettin lots of attenshuns from em, but I could not really hop up there to see dem.  And since dey are 86 and 87, dey can't really lift me up like my momma and Finley's pawrents can.  Momma said if I wanted some simpathees for my arhtur-eye-tis and mobilitee isshoes dat I went to da right place.  Finley went and visited Nana and Pawpaw though and got some pets from em.

My Nana are not doin very good - she has da beginnin stages of da Old Timer's disease we thinks and it are makin everybody real sad.  Pawpaw are havin to do all of da caretakin work (and he are almost 88 and has da arthur-eye-tis and all dat, so it are tuff on him too).  Dey has been married for 65 years and are best friends, seein em like dis are kinda breakin my momma's and Finley's momma's hearts.  Dey's really wonnerful peeps.  I's not tryin to get depressin here, but I just needed to say it, ok??  I knew y'all would understand.

Dis are Nana and Finley's momma.

And here are Finley's momma wif her Pawpaw.

We had a pretty good visit (my favorite part wuz da bacon I gots at Sunday breakfast!)  Da mommas is plannin on goin back in early December, dey just wish dey lived closer.

Den we headed over to Austin where I used to live.  We went to EZ's for dinner.

Finley are givin her momma a kiss, she sure iz a sweetie pie!

I got to lick a lil bit of whippy cream for my momma's milkshake!  I also got some chikken and bun from her samwich and some fries too.  I scored good!

I guess all dat work on my cute face paid off.

Den we headed up to Salado to stop for da night - I slept right up on da pillow next to my momma da whole night!  Den we headed home today.

Oh, and somebody guessed me and my momma's Howloween costumes - Lynn Delage is right and we is doing steampunk!!  Lynn, ya has won a bandana, so send me an email wif your address and da size of da neck meashurement ya wants it to be!!

Wordless Wednesday

Dr. Seuss Day

So I knows I's a day late wif dis, but round here, it are all bout Texas on March 2.  But my momma got dis picture of me dis mornin - it wuzn't posed at all and it wuz kinda perfect for Dr. Seuss Day.  Finley's momma are callin it "Whitley Hugs a Horton" instead of Horton Hears a Who.

I luvs usin stuffies as pillows, whether they are mine or mommas (like dis one).  Toys dat has multiple uses are da best.  And pillows is a very good use.

After lookin at da drizzly mess outside, I are goin back to sleep.

Merry Christmas Y'all!

Merry Christmas y'all!  Here's what Christmas looks like round here.

First da peeps opened dere presents.  I got right in da middle of my momma and Ally, but watchin dem open stuff got boring pretty fast.

Den it wuz my turn!  Finley opens her presents like a crazy turbo-charged pup and she gets a lil over-enthusiatical bout openin presents - she'll try to open mine, da kitties, da peeps.  So her daddy held her while I gots to open mine.

I ended up wif 5 new shirts, 2 brand new leash, collar, and harness sets, and 5 toys (a hedgyhog, a Clarice reindeer, a Frozen snowman, a polar bear, and a scottie pup ).

I heard ya like warm hugs Olaf.  So does I.

Den me and Finley wuz on skwerril patrol - can ya believe dat dude showin up outside our window on Christmassy??  We barked him good.

Hope y'all had a very merry Christmas!
