I'm Back

It's been way too long. I must admit it's been a busy time but life is slowing down for us. Mommy has finally stopped traveling, the snow seems to have ended, and thankfully all holidays are behind Mommy which means no need to bake like a fool, and more time to snuggle.
As with most humans and the new year, Mommy is now on a new kick. Each day she and Bob lock Bella and me out of the great room, they turn on this DVD, and they are jumping all over the place and using these huge heavy things called weights. The look like fools and that only gets worse every time one of them gives the other a 'high five'. I have had quite enough of this-something with all letters and numbers, like P90X.
On another note, Bella and I are sick and tired of baths. We love the backyard, and we love to roll in the dirty area where there is no grass. As you know, Mommy is obsessed with having a clean house so presents conflict. We are now out of doggie shampoo and Mommy used human shampoo on us on Wednesday. We have never been so clean.
Mommy's birthday was this week and the place looks like a florist. Flowers everywhere and cards too. Everything is up high because Bella likes to eat paper. The other day she just went to town on a library book. Poor Bob keeps having to pay for all of the books Bella consumes. I try to stay out of it and bark at anyone that dares come in the cul-de-sac.
