Oh Christmas Tree

DUDES!  It's almost that time to put up the Christmasy tree in the house!  I loooove the tree, just love it!  I only wish it were alive and smelled like squirrel and birds.  We have a problemo though and I think we're gonna get the BIG lecture tonight.  Last year Mom bought this really cool tree skirt.  Uh, why does a tree need a skirt?!?!  Just for the record, I looked up it.  Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Um, anyways.  I guess last year she wasn't so happy when somedogs sprinkled the tree skirt and she had to wash it like six times between Turkey Day and the big day.  She bought a big bottle of this STAY AWAY spray this year that she thinks is gonna help but I blame Millie for most of it and I don't think her sniffer works very good anymore.  In other words I see trouble coming soon and for once it's not gonna have MY name on it!

Rooooooolon-Mooch - OUTTA HERE!

Uh, can you say dork?

Mr. Brainy can't figure out why the balloon keeps following him....uh, hello, you have the STRING in your MOUTH.

Deep thoughts by Care Bear.

So I was sitting around thinking about life, I do that a lot because I'm a very thoughtful Bear.  I barely remember my life before I came to live here and I think that's a good thing.  Now I have all my brothers and sisters plus I get to pretty much do whatever I want here.  It's a good life.  I really can't complain.

Well, I can kinda complain.  Tucker went to work with Mom today and I'm sad.  I never get to go.  I really want to go, but like a year ago I was a very grumpy Bear over the stupid baby gate at the house when someone came over.  So now Mom's worried about if I would be happy or grumpy at the office and hasn't taken me up there yet.  I am pretty sure I'd be good, I can't think of any reason I wouldn't be so maybe I'll get a chance soon.  Did I tell you that my cuzns are up there everyday?  Yep...Kita, Buddy, Shadow and Ginger go to work every single day.  Did I mention that I never get to go?

Sigh.

Goodbye, Sweet Dakota

You will be dearly missed, we love you...sending healing vibes out to your family during this difficult time.

Good news...

Nana is out of the hospital!  I think she complained so much they let her go.  Thanks for all the good wishes, they must have worked!! 

I guess it's Dogs With Blogs Christmas Card time again, Mom is pulling out all the camera stuff and loading up on treats to get us to look at the camera...we haven't decided if we're going to behave or not.  Here's one of our shots from last year, we think it's fun not to look in the right direction.  -Millie

Our Nana

Our Nana (Mom's Mom) has been sick the past couple days and stayed home from work.  She went to the doctor this morning and they made her go to the hospital.  Now they're stealing her blood and running all kinds of tests trying to find out what's wrong.  Cross your paws that it's nothing serious. :(

New Babies

Mom bought me two new babies....ME, not Mooch.  So why do I have to share?!?  -Tucker

This is an anon-e-mus post.

Dear Readers,

I can't tell you who I am because it's too embarrassing.  I'm trying to write like my brothers so you can't tell who is who.

I need advice.  My sister keeps humping me.  This wouldn't be so embarrassingly bad if she was like Pooka's size but she's pint size.  I chew on an antler and she climbs on top.  I'm playing with my other sister and there she is again.  Not only that but she tries to eat me whenever I get close.  I might need Xanax soon to deal with the stress.  How do I make her stop?

Signed
The innocent beat-up Brat

Humiliated

It's Roooolon-Mooch and you're not gonna believe what I'm saying.  Mom took me to training the other night and I was all like OOOOH I'm gonna learn to be like James Bond 007, just call me DOUBLE-O-MOOCH.  I had my Ninja skills all ready and then we got in the car with my cuzn Lehttie and I was all, what, wow, that's weird since she's a BABY and all.  Then I thought maybe she was coming to watch because I'm like her hero and everything.

So then we get to this parking lot and there were all these other dogs.  When we got closer I saw that these weren't just other dogs, but mostly PUPPIES.  I was totally stoked, like all these whippersnappers came to watch me be 00Mooch and I was the coolest dog EVAH!  I jumped out of the Tahoe and was all like, stay back till after the show and I'll give pawtographs then.

Next thing I knew the special agent trainer was talking and all the people had their dogs lined up next to these platforms.  Do you see where this is going??  That's right.  I was IN the class with all these PUPPIES and we were learning the SAME THINGS!  It was totally humiliating and I couldn't believe my Mom would do this to me.  I barely even fit on the wooden platform because it was made for BABIES not big tough Pit Bullies like ME.

I don't know why I have to be in the loser puppy class, I already know tons and tons of stuff and Mom said it's because I need to FOCUS more but if I FOCUSED anymore I'd faint.  Now I have to go to this class for SIX WEEKS before I can move to the adult class and the really stinky thing is the adult class is right after the puppy one.  So for the last like 10 minutes of trying to fit on that itty bitty platform the big dogs were all there watching and I know they were LAUGHING at me.  I'm so embarrassed.

Nana even came to watch and she was all kissing on me after the class and telling me how proud she was of me and all those big dogs were watching.  I think she even pinched my cheeks.  Poor me.
