THE sweater

mommy got the yarn yesterday - rowan cotton wool - thanks to the nice ladies at wool and wicker who rigged the holiday discount game... This is what it looks like so far. I think when she goes out for new years tonight I will add my own special touch to it.



She keeps saying that she is trying to finish it so she can wear it tonight. I hope she is kidding cause she has a long way to go.

And this is daddies new haircut - we have the same hair!!!

new sweater

mommy made me a new sweater today.... I like it - it is a little tight but she says it will loosen up. It is nice an cozy. I will wear it all day.

4:01am

Mommy is sick with a cold and can't sleep. She just got up and banged around and woke everyone up. She keeps saying she can't breath - but she must be able to or she would be dead. She keeps making alot of noise blowing her nose - and lucky for me she leaves the snotty kleenexes lying around. I think they taste great - almost as good as greenies. I don't know why - they won't let me eat them. They are just throwing them out - I could eat them all, less garbage. If they go out today I will go back into the bathroom garbage and eat those ones. I did that yesterday, I can reach most of them.

Angie and Todd left after supper last night. I liked them. I hope I can see them again soon.

Oh and mom asked me to show Grandma this boring picture of the bedroom. They got this ikea wardrobe in the as is department with the gift certificate for cheap. Dad put some shelves in it and with the leftover money they got a tv stand. So finally all their clothes are off the floor. Dad even put their little reading lights up. But I saw what they really did - before Angie and Todd came over then just took everything and threw it in the closet - they didn't really hang it all up or fold it nicely.

the last of the fuzzy feet

Mommy and I are just sitting around waiting for Angie to come. We don't know how close she is because we have no idea how long the ferry from Victoria takes. Mommy said maybe I could put more of her fuzzy feet online to show Auntie Steph. We are all done the fuzzy feet!!! The first pair mommy first dyed in cherry koolaid and then overdyed in grape koolaid. they are made with the brown sheep wool that you sent her!

oh she is here time to go say hi!

Baths

I had a bath today. I hate baths. I hate being wet. I had to run around for like an hour rubbing my nose in the carpet trying to get it dry. Oh it was horrible. Thank goodness it doesn't happen regularly. I was pretty dirty - mommy took me for walk and we got all muddy - she wore her rubber boots and jumped in the puddles.

Tomorrow Angie W is coming - yay!!! I will jump on her and try to steal her food.

help my mommy...

My mommy wants to make this but she doesn't know what kind of yarn to use that isn't wayyyy tooo expensive. (pattern says the phildar wool and cashmere blend - 25g/60m) Any suggestions? Has anyone made it? Did the sleeves fit? She is suspicious due to their lack of shaping and the models skinny fatless arms. I wonder if mommy will get it done before it is too warm to wear it? I bet not - she better not use it as an excuse to not take me for walks.

mommy dancing in her new pj's!!!

COOKIESSSSSS

Look at the big plate of cookies my mommy made me!!! Right on!!! I have already had 5 of them today and they were still warm. I have tried to get more but mom hide them. She says I will have to send some to julien but I think I can eat them all.



Mommy wanted to show these to Auntie Steph too - another pair of fuzzy feet. Still two more pairs to make - mom is always late with Xmas presents.....

M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S !

Yay! I got to open my presents last night. I had to wait until midnight though. Grandma and Sparky Senior got me a baby baboon. I've already hid it somewhere in the house so no one can steal it from me. I also got a box of bacon flavoured rawhide bones - they are tiny just like me! And for breakfast today mom let me eat an entire chicken jerky!

Mom and Dad liked their presents too - Dad got power tools from Grandpere Marcel and mom got a ring from dad. I liked the chocolates and things from lush because they smelled the best.

Last night we went to Thyrza's I was so excited I barked at them to open the door. But when I ran inside there was this other horrible big dog. I screamed and screamed - it was a nightmare. After awhile it fell asleep so I relaxed a bit. But I had to be careful - at any moment it would wake up and visit someone. I also got to see that horrible cat - and it had a friend. They are vicious - it nearly ripped Thyrza's mom's hand off! Horrible creatures why would anyone want one.

Now I have to have a nap because I'm already tired. I didn't get enough sleep last night too much excitement

This is our tree this year - way too big I want a much smaller one next year. Notice there is nothing on top.

Dad was supposed to make an angel for Christmas - he made this flying Tiger Woods robot - I think it is kinda scary. Mom said it was too big for the top of the tree

Me and dad opening presents.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is coming!!!!!!!

I got to see Santa today!!!!! I barked and barked and barked at everyone in the mall. We had to wait for a long time I was really nervous and Abbey the golden retriever behind me kept sniffing my butt. Finally I saw Santa and he was ok. Mommy and Daddy just laughed at me though. I asked him for a big bone - I hope I get it.

This afternoon I snuck under the tree and took my present from Grandma and tried to open it. But the paper makes too much noise so mommy caught me. I tried yesterday too but she caught me again. I have a big hole in it now - maybe next time I can get it open. I also put a piece of my pig chew in the wrapping paper to help mommy wrap presents for daddy but she took it out, I think daddy would like it.

It is really nice here - mommy was out with just a sweater on today and a skirt! I can poop all I want - it isn't too cold. Daddy even went golfing again. Mommy saw the tempature in Calgary was -17 today and she laughed. I hope Julien can go poo there or he will have to come live with us.

Saskatoon

what can I say... i do not like that place. It is very very very cold...... I don't think I pooped for 5 days. It is very hard to poop on two legs in a snow bank with a windchill of -35. I love my grandma and sparky Sr. but it is tooooo cold.

Mom said I was a very good girl on the plane - I just curled up and went to sleep didn't make a peep. I was awful glad to get out of that bag though.

I got to meet my cousin Julien too. Boy was he fat. Not very smart either - kinda slow and plodding. Everybody laughed at him alot and he didn't know they were making fun of him. He gets to eat fancy food and wouldn't give me any which was making me relly mad - and then he ate one of my piggy things without asking. I was soooo mad. I growled and growled.

I saw Grandma's tree at the cabin too - ours is better. She should have let me help pick hers out too. I slept on Sparky Sr.'s lap alot too and he fed me grapes and oranges.

I was so excited to come in and look for Daddy when we got home that I pooped on the doorstep. I wanted to do both at once.

I'm tired... i think I will go to bed soon. my weekend was sooooo busy....

Fred

My great grandpa died this morning. It made mommy so sad I had to lick all the tears off her face. I only saw him twice this summer but I liked him alot. He fed me treats while I sat in his lap and licked his fingers. Mommy says we might be going on a trip now to Saskatoon but she isn't sure if I will go with her. I hate planes so I don't know if I want to but I would like to give Sparky senior a big Christmas kiss. I guess we will find out.......

Xmas Tree

We went to cut down our Xmas tree today. I really wanted to go along but I got car sick and puked twice. Daddy said he would never take me along again but he always does. When we got there after a long drive everyone kept pointing at me going "AWWWWWWWW!" Can't they tell I'm tough? We all walked around looking for the perfect tree. Mom and Dad picked a big one but I liked the smaller ones that I could sniff the tops of. Oh well next year. I didn't puke on the way home and mommy gave me a greenie - YAY!

Mom and Dad started decorating it while I had a nap and now they say they need to make more ornaments for it.

Julien

I just saw my cousin Julien posted a comment - maybe one day he will have his one blog too. This is one of the pictures I have seen of him. I don't know how big he is now. mom says he is bigger then me and way fatter. I can't wai tto see him and tell him I am the boss. Cause I am.



I know what he's getting for Xmas....

more of mommie's fuzzy feet

Mommy wanted auntie steph to see these fuzzy feet. The purple ones are for Auntie Penny who doesn't have email so will never see this and the brown ones are probably for Grandpa Mel aka Sparky Senior who also doesn't have email..... The purple ones were dyed with the koolaid again and the other ones are the kureyon yarn...



tomorrow we are going to get a Xmas tree - I think I will pee on my favourite

TENT

I love my tent what are you crazy auntie steph? It is my only place of refuge. Today mom and I were playing with the ball when she supposedly accidently whacked me with the ball. I don't think it was an accident so I hid in my tent. When mom wants to put an itchy sweater on I hide in my tent. When dad yells at me for pooping in the wrong spot I hide in my tent - he usually dumps me out though.

I love my tent I wish mommy couldn't stick her head in it..... evil mommy...

rain

it won't stop raining. Mom said she would take me for a walk to the treat store today - a nice long one. But I won't want to go if it idoesn't stop raining. What if she forces me? Can I call SPCA? I don't want to walk in the rain. Is it because she doesn't like me. She hasn't made me go poo in the rain yet this morning. I really have to go. But I will wait until it stops. I can wait longer then it can rain. I really want treats though. whoa mom keeps sneezing - it is so scary! I am going to hide in my tent until she stops.

yeseterday daddy kept calling me trailer trash cause I was picking up my tent and dragging all over the living room. I just wanted it in front of the tv and not in the corner. I'm not trailer trash. It was nothing like moving a trailer to the next town.
