Santaland Parade

Auntie Em took me to a parade today. I ate a bagel and a doughnut (we were in front of a Tim Horton's...yum!). I made a new friend named Kate and I met a bunch of new people. It was so much fun! Then the parade started. I did NOT like the noise. Meanie Auntie Em made me watch the parade instead of letting me run back to the car. Two people gave me treats and one lady gave me a Statue of Liberty crown. Oh, and Kelsey was in the parade with her friend Lauren. I guess it was ok, I just don't like loud noises.

Had to wear a scarf to keep me warm!

Here's Kels!

Me with my crown and scarf!

It's been a long morning, I need a rest!

Happy Turkey Day!

This is what I did on Thanksgiving...

Update...pictures coming soon!

Well, I have been a piece of work lately. I try to get away with being bad because, well, it's fun! However, my people aren't very happy with me when I'm bad. I guess they don't realize that:

a. I am still technically a puppy

b. I am almost a teenager in dog years

c. It's boring and lonely when they aren't home.

Here are a few of my newest games (the ones I'm proud of!):

1. Knock at the door until someone answers and then run away, this can go on for hours (and it has...so many times). This is definately my favorite game! My people have now installed a rope and they put me on it when they let me out and then reel me in like a fish. Kinda puts a damper on that game.

2. Take things off of the counter when nobody's home. I usually never destroy the things I take, I just want my peeps to know I don't like to be by myself. I usually get put in time out when I play this game. I can get away with it most of the time if Auntie Em's the first one home. All she ever does is say "Oh, Chester" or "What did you do, this is bad". I feel a little guilty, but whatever!

3. I bark when I want attention (usually in the wee hours of the morning or really late at night). Everybody except Mom (or grandma, I guess) sleeps through my loud, obnoxious barking. This game results in getting locked up or muzzled.

Now, for the good things. I am learning to keep my head off of the table when it's dinner time for the people. I have figured out that the more I keep my head off of the table, the more food I get! I have also been a really good boy when Auntie Em brushes me. We, okay Auntie Em, decided that the garage is the new place to be groomed. I try to stand very still and cooperate. If I am really good it goes fast and I get a treat at the end!

I can't think of anything else to write, so I think this is it for now. Hopefully, the pictures will be posted soon (like later today!)

Forecast: cloudy and chance of rain

I'm prepared!

I'm sorry Auntie Sandy

Auntie Em's been really busy, she is working on a bunch of new posts for you! Okay, maybe just one really big post. I don't even know. I will take her outside today so we can play in the leaves...then you can see how cute I am. Maybe Auntie Em can figure out how to put a video up for you to see too. Oh, she said she's posting a quick one now.

This is the life...

(Notice my Rosie is a bit dirty...that's because she goes everywhere with me. When my people take her away and put her in the big cleaning machine and then the other hot air one, I cry like a baby. I love my Rosie!)

Muzzled!

Look what they did to me...

A new look for the blog?

Check out these Blogger templates...they rock! Hopefully Auntie Em and I can win one!

I may be big...

...but I think I'm a lap dog!

A big stick

I am in love...

With Auntie Em's bed. And, because she felt bad for me after I got my hair cut, I get to sleep with her! I love sleeping in a big, comfy bed.

I don't like it when she wakes me up though.

Finally...some pictures!

These two pictures were taken on August 27th. Auntie Em had just picked me up from Groomingdale's.

This picture was taken on September 1st. Notice the bootie on my back, right foot...I decided that my foot was itchy and my nail was cut too short. I chewed on it and it started bleeding, so they put a bootie on me.

Quick update

I haven't been doing much lately. I got my hair cut two weeks ago. It isn't as short as last time, but it is still really short. I was (and still kind of am) so mad! At first I tried really hard to be a good boy, but then I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to let my people know I was upset. I ate some of their things and peed inside the house a few times, but I got put in time-out for it. Now the only time I am bad is if everybody leaves me. I hate being home alone. Oh, I have recently discovered barking outside at night is not allowed. Yesterday auntie Em took me to petsmart and we bought lots of treats and then she put a muzzle in the cart. No wonder she got seven bags of treats...she was trying to trick me! Luckily they haven't put that stupid muzzle on me. I am trying to remember to be good. Well, that's all I can think of right now. I will have pictures soon...auntie Em needs to put them on the computer. Then maybe I will have some other stories to tell.
