Year in Review

It's been a while.  It's been quite a year. 
Last you heard, we were living in a crazy little spot waiting for the house to be built.  We moved into that house in the beginning of September, and it's way better.  Really liking the new digs, Mommy did a good job.
But, it's been a rough year.  In October, my sister, Bella, got very sick and went to heaven.  It was a really hard time and I miss her every day.  She was my best friend.  I know I made her crazy but she played with me and when she was here, I was not scared when Mommy and Daddy left the house.  She was a great cuddler too.  Needless to say, I am back to my old ways in some cases.  When Mommy and Daddy left, they were putting me in their bathroom.  Again, not a fan. I decided I had enough of that, so I took Daddy's towel off the rack and tinkled all over it.  Just in case that was not clear enough, I went into the linen closet, and took everything off the top shelf.  That def made my thoughts clear-and back in the kennel I have gone.
But, I have a new friend in the neighborhood.  Jake comes by and walks me after he goes to school so I don't have to be alone too much.  And Mommy works at home when she can.
Just before Thanksgiving, I had some trouble sleeping and headed downstairs to see what I could find.  Everyone else was asleep.  Got up on the new counter (love that space, the granite is lovely), and did some research.  Found some crumbs.  Jumped down.  CRASH.  I had a bit of an accident and sprained my back leg. 
In true form, Mommy wanted to take me to the vet, but Daddy talked her out of it (WTF Daddy?), and I hobbled arounnd for a while.  Thankfully, I have made a FULL recovery.  But I love that island, and just for giggles, jumped up on it yesterday in front of Mommy-just so she knows that I am boss.  STILL.
In other news, I hate diesel trucks.  Man, they PISS me OFF.  We have a bunch here because of the building going on.  Let me tell you, though.  When they come down that street, and Mommy and I are walking, I lose my mind and bark at them, try to run into the street, jump all over.  Big truckers think it's hysterical and laugh at me.  Mommy has stopped saying HI to the construction guys.  I think she is embarrassed.
Even though I am always told how bad I am, Santa came.  I got some new toys, and even some from Aunt Ashley and Grandma Claire.  So there Mommy.  YOU LIE.
So it's New Years.  Lucy is coming over to chill with me while everyone goes out.  She's a good friend. 
I am hoping 2014 is a happier year for me.  I'd like to get to the beach, make some messes, run free, drive a diesel truck and maybe get an electric fence?
Peace.
