Peace

So as you may know, Mommy does not sleep really easy. She is up during the night and has no respect for me. She turns on the TV, last night she even had the nerve to go get a snack at 2am. WTF. This is not an all night diner. No matter how much I sigh, roll over, or hide under the blankets, she just does as she pleases. You would think she owned the house. Fortunately it is the weekend.....we usually take a nap together on the weekend which is SO FUN. I let her cuddle with me until she falls asleep. Don't tell her-but once she is asleep I move down to my monogrammed pillow. I don't want her to know how hot I get when we cuddle because I am so furry. But I do it for her because I love her.

Captivity

I hate Thursdays. Mommy hired someone to cut the grass each week and you know what that means-Bennie is locked in the house as a captive. Mommy covers the dog door with the panel that locks me in. Well well well......you have to work pretty hard to keep me in the house. I have figured out how to hit the panel, get it risen, so I can get outside. On the flip side, though, it means that once I am in the yard, I am stuck and can't get back in the house. Mommy thinks it is pretty funny but I am not laughing. When she came back from her errands, there I was, staring at her through the glass doors. HA.I need to be able to come and go-you know how it is.
I have been coughing a bit today because I ate some lint in the laundry. Of course Mommy was ready to take me to the emergency vet-CHILL OUT MOMMY. She thinks I am high strung-whatever lady.
Peace.

chilly

Not sure what is going on in your neck of the woods but it was cold last night! Mommy had dinner plans last night (what else is new?) and was late getting home. I was so irritated I took all the pillows off the couch-who's boss now? As soon as Mommy got home I hit the hay and tried to warm up and hid under the covers. I thought I would get some quiet under the covers but Mommy was talking on the phone and then insisted we watch the Hills premiere last night instead of Animal Planet. WTF. Have you seen the Hills? Such trash TV.
As Mommy left this morning to head to the office, she said, in passing, that she has dinner plans again and left a light on for me. Whatever. I am ordering a pizza-and guess what Mommy-I am not using a coupon.

It's been a crazy few weeks that is for sure but wanted to update you on the highlights. Couple weekends ago, Aunt Caitlin came down from NJ to chill with Mommy and me. Mommy kept telling me how much Aunt Caitlin has missed me, and how much fun we would all have. Well Mommy, when you roll in at 1am after going dancing, you all are clearly not going to be walking me at 8am. BIG LIAR. Mommy was all talk and no action. Finally, Sunday afternoon they pulled themselves together to walk me through the neighborhood which was better than nothing. See if I head to NJ next time Mommy goes, Aunt Caitlin. You will be missing my furry self.
Uncle Mike came to visit too over Easter. Good thing he was there because Mommy freaked on me when I brought a lizard into the house. She kept yelling to Uncle Mike that he has to get it and take it outside. I was just trying to show him my monogrammed bed.
The kicker last weekend was that Kenzie, my girlfriend from next door came over to chill. We hung out and ate some treats. Then there was an invasion. Turns out Mommy and her friend Miss Tabitha invited all the girls from the 6th grade youth group to sleep over. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Can I get 15 minutes of peace in my own house? To make matters worse, there was pepperoni all over the place because they were making pizzas. And no one gave me any. It's only my house. They didn't go to sleep until 1am after this ridiculous movie about a whale that was freed into the ocean-some guy named Willy (what kind of a name is that?). Needless to say, Sunday was a waste and I needed rest. But you know Mommy-never sits down and thought it was a great time to mulch the yard and plant the garden. When is she going to sit down and cuddle? It's been a fun time because we have had so much company and Mommy's friends have been coming over a lot so I am never lonely. Word has it Aunt Farrah and Wyatt are coming in May-I am not getting my hopes up but since Wyatt is only a year and probably does not go dancing, I may have a better shot chilling with him. Stay tuned.

Test time

Hello there puppy friends. Bet you have been wondering what I have been up to....the mystery is over.
I had a great day about 2 weeks ago. My friend Keira came over with her mom, Johanna, to have a picnic with Mom and me. Turns out no one brought me a doggie bag so I had to eat my boring chow but whatever. Even let Keira sit with me on my chair out on the patio-she is a pretty cool girl. Turns out her mom and dad have a blog too and I got my pic posted there-how you like that?
Just when you thought Mark the trainer was gone-he reappeared. Mommy packed me up into the car and we went over to Rivergate Shopping Center. Rock on, I thought, get me some burger and ice cream, bark at the kids, call it a night. Well there was Mark sitting by the fountain, just waiting for me-oh hell no. So on goes my leash and we prance around the sidewalk like I am a sideshow. Mark lets every person in the whole stupid place pet me while I am sitting. Mommy just looked on laughing. To make matters worse, Mark gave Mommy the leash, and told her to try to get me to sit when people came by. Then he pretended to leave-I am a dog, not a fool. Hello Mark, I see you around the corner and am not amused. Then he reappeared like it was a big surprise. The whole act just made me ill. I humored them though, because I heard them use the word 'test' so I thought-hell, maybe I can pass and end the pain.
Haven't seen Mark since but I keep hearing Mommy talk about something called 'refresher classes'. It's got me a bit concerned but I am holding out hope she will forget. For now, I am heading back to my little bed-maybe get some cuddles from Mommy.
Later-Bennie
