Happy holidays!

Hello friends, foes, and family. I got the chance to see most of you over the holidays, but if not I apologize. I am in quite high demand these days and I'm only one dog. Here I am being sweet to Daddy.

But I can also be very ferocious (as some of you already know). I was just playing in this picture though.

Mommy and I on Christmas morning. I was ready for my gifts. I got lots of yummy stuff in my stocking, too (much to Dixie's chagrin).

I was sorta good. Daddy said I got a C at Ferguson family Christmas. I'll take it. I let Aunt Leesa hold me for a little bit and I let Aunt Erin give me some kisses. I was not very nice to my great Uncle David and great Aunt Janet though. Mommy says to apologize. I do not see you very often so I'm sorry I did not behave. She tells me I'm scared. I deny I am scared of anything or anyone. I am a fierce beast.

Here I am with Gramp. He got me a new toy, a mini Rumble doll. The Thunder is my favorite team. I have been trying to become the Lightning mascot for some time now. I would wear a bolt and flash across the court at half time. Sam Presti, if you're reading this, please contact my mommy. Go Thunder!

Ready for Christmas

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I am officially ready for Christmas. Don't get me wrong, Thanksgiving is great and all (I got some leftover turkey this morning) but I really like Christmas because I get to go see my grandparents in Illinois then come and see my grandparents here too. So I get lots of love and attention over the holidays. I dressed up in my santa outfit and finished decorating the house this morning. Here is one of my new additions, my mat in the kitchen so I have somewhere warm and cushy to sit while Mom and Dad are cooking.

Even tiny santas have to take a bathroom break every now and then. Mommy made me post this; I am a little embarrassed.

Ahead of the game

I decided to get a head start on Christmas this year so last night I put up our Christmas tree. Okay, so Mommy and Daddy helped a little bit but it was my idea. Today I have been sitting on the couch admiring my work. My favorite part is the min pin angel atop the tree. Daddy says that it is ridiculous.

Patience

A couple nights ago Daddy wouldn't take the chips off the side table. I waited... and waited... and waited... But I got tired. I fell asleep waiting for some chips.

My Third Halloween

I am getting so old! This is the third Halloween that I've celebrated. The problem is that I have had the same costume for all 3 and people are starting to notice. So I would like to tell my audience that Mommy and Daddy promised me a new costume next year. Mark their words!

Tiny skunk (again). I am still cute. Don't mind me sticking my tongue out, I can't help it. The vet pulled too many teeth when I was a baby and I have some malocclusion issues so my tongue hangs out a little bit at rest. We can't all be perfect but I am awfully close.

Here I am with Gramp. He was trying to be scary but I could smell him and knew it was him so he still got kisses.

Where's Penny?!

Believe it or not, I AM in this picture somewhere!

Mommy loves me

I just thought I looked cute in this picture, that's all for now!

"Vacation"

Last weekend Mommy and Daddy went on vacation to California to visit my Aunt Erin, Uncle Jong, and my cousins Stella and Prince. For some reason, I did not get to go. I stayed at Grammy's for a night which was okay, but then she took me to a very bad place. Here I am on my way, thinking I am just going for a nice ride in the car.

But then we pulled up to this place. I will soon be returning to paint over "country club" with the words "TORTURE PALACE."

Dixie and I shared a suite. As you can see it is rather stark.

All the while I was being tortured, Daddy was playing with other dogs. I think I got the short end of the stick this time around.

Ready for Halloween

Today mommy bought me some new halloween pajamas. I already have my costume picked out but this is just to keep me satiated until October 31st. They have back legs in them too that go around me like chaps and my little brown bum is exposed. It feels kinda funny. They fit me really well though and I prance around because mommy and daddy tell me how cute I am!

Chicken leg

This weekend mommy and daddy went out to eat. Mommy ordered the chicken and it was half of an entire chicken. I love when that happens because she brings me home all of the dark meat (I am non discriminatory when it comes to my chicken). Well daddy had the idea to feed me the whole leg but mommy made him hold it because she thought that I would choke on the bone. It was really yummers! I tore off a big hunk of cartlidge at the end too so it is probably still sitting in my belly as I'm blogging.

Dixie's visit

Grammy and Grampy went to Mexico this past weekend so Aunt Dixie came to stay at my house. I really like Dixie even though she gets annoyed by me sometimes. We did lots of things together. We slept next to eachother, we ate at the same time, we went on walks, and we did simultaneous businesses. Here we are sharing some of Mommy and Daddy's leftovers.



And here we are reading with Mommy. We did a lot of that. She keeps telling me she is going to go to work and leave me home alone all day but so far, so good.

Potato chip torture trick

Sorry that I have been MIA lately. I have been very busy learning some new tricks. Also Mommy and Daddy just got married so I was preoccupied with wedding plans. So now I am no longer an illegitimate puppy! Here is one of my new tricks named the PCTT by Gramp.

Bath bath

Last weekend Mommy and Daddy gave me a nice bath in the tub. I don't get very many baths because my coat is nice and short so it stays clean. I liked it okay. I wasn't sure at first but then the warm water felt pretty good. Daddy put my towel in the dryer so it was nice and warm when I got out of the tub. I got real frisky and excited when I got out. I felt so good! I got clean sheets too. I think I liked it.

Another one!

Man oh man. Daddy must have won the lottery because he bought me another new chair. This one is for the living room. Now I can jump from love seat to sofa to chair to ottoman. It is really fun. If you look closely you can see me with Daddy on the new chair. On a side note, daddy had the snuggie on how it's supposed to be worn 10 seconds before this picture was taken then he took his arms out so it would just look like a blanket. Sorry to rat you out Dad!

New Chair

Daddy got me a new chair for my room (well, he calls it the office but we know who spends the most time in it) today. It is very nice and has my favorite color - black - in it. Now I can sit and eat my dingos and look out the window from my very own spot while daddy is working at the computer.

Happy New Year

Happy new year to all of my friends and family. Also, thank you for sending in your votes. I have locked in a day in the calendar! I have made a couple of resolutions for the new year. One for mommy: I am going to work on my dental hygiene (trying out the flossing thing).

And one for daddy: I am going to attempt to beg less. We'll see how both of those work out.
