That's a great pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Whoa. Mom and Dad went on a day trip to half moon bay today. Apparently, they grow these huge orange things there. I dunno what it is, or what I am supposed to do with it, but it's way bigger than I am. I tried eating it, but it's hard. Mom seems REALLLY excited about it though. Apparently she loves pumpkins. I don't get it. On an unrelated note, we spent a lot of time watching football today. Oh, and i woke up at 4 AM this morning. It was great. Dad didn't seem so amused.

Naps - My favorite thing














So i'm not really supposed to, but today i took a nap on the adult furniture while dad was typing angrily on his laptop. Something about migration issues, blah blah blah. Anyway, i jumped up on the chair and caught some shuteye. This photo is also a sweet way to see my newly shaved head. Dad really likes it since he says i look like a springer now. Not sure what a springer is, but it might give me a personality disorder. Anyway, mom misses the moptop i used to be sporting. Maybe when uncle andy comes to visit, he can spike my hair.

Hey Chicago, what do you say?

Cubs are going to win today. OH YEAH!!!! I got a sweet cubs jersey. This is way better than that Chargers jersey, even if this one doesn't have my name on it. Dad and I watched the game today. It isn't looking good right now for our Cubbies, but I'm feeling pretty good in my "00" custom fit pet jersey. By the way, yesterday we went to puppy play group, and there was a bulldog named Aloha. All dad could think of the whole time was "And Aloha means goodbye". He says it's from Sportscenter. I really don't get how a bulldog can be from Sportscenter, but whatever.

Check out my haircut!!

So mom and dad took me to get my first hair cut on Union Street. They were pretty nice to me, and in addition to getting it cut, they gave me a bath and stuff. Since I usually have to do that in the bathtub, it was pretty sweet. That's my rawhide bone in the background. It's my fav.

Also, did you know that Friday was national Talk like a Pirate Day? It's true. Google it up. Dad wouldn't let me get a pirate shirt at the doggy boutique. Cuz it was expensive, yo. Arrrrrr......

duty call = nap

Mom told me to be quiet when she had to go to a "duty call" tonight. I don't know what she was worried about, since I just napped, but then when she got home sorta late at night for me, our neighbor Apollo (he's the first adult dog I played with) managed an escape and so he and I wanted to play. Mom called his mom on him, except now I'm super awake (even though it's almost midnight.) Anyways, Apollo's escape was kinda like this: http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=4-3EyMPzMoo, except Apollo's all tan and fluffier.

football season


I didn't write much last week, because there was much concern about my eye. Apparently the stitches weren't right, so I still have the cone, plus I have to have more surgery in a couple weeks. It's really quite a bother, but grandma and grandpa came to play with me, so that was fun.

Plus, yesterday we got to watch football, and mom and dad got me my own San Diego Chargers jersey, which they took the cone off in order to put the jersey on. Dad sorta fell asleep while we were watching, but that's probably ok, since the Chargers ended up losing. Mom's team, the 49ers, ended up winning, so maybe soon I'll get a 49ers jersey.

no more puppy play group


And in case the cone itself wasn't bad enough, apparently I don't get to go to puppy play group while I have the cone on (for 2 weeks!) since another puppy might hit my eye. This is the St. Bernard puppy that was at the last play group. I briefly ventured over to meet him and the other big dogs, and then quickly ran back to the medium sized dog area where I usually hang out.

delayed recovery


I had to go back to the vet today, because apparently I'm one of the unlucky few dogs whose eye surgery isn't healing as quickly as it is supposed to. Over the weekend, I managed to get my back paw inside the cone to scratch at my face since it itched, but mom told on me to the vet today, so they gave me a bigger cone. Now, I hate the bigger cone even more than the old cone. This is me barking, which I do a lot now, to make clear just how much I hate the bigger cone.

What happened to me?!

I had surgery today. I don't really know what happened, since they gave me puppy drugs and anesthesia, but I do know it wasn't fun. And worst of all, I have another stupid cone on, which is supposed to stay on for 2 weeks! I HATE the cone! Maybe I'll post a picture later when I'm not so groggy.

Zzzzzzzz Diesel's

So the other day, dad left his Diesel's on the ground, so I thought I would catch a quick nap. Sure it doesn't look comfortable, but it was awesome. I didn't chew on em or anything. I'm such a good puppy.

I'll bark if want to


I've started barking again when I wake up at night, and unlike before, mom comes out and says to me "be quiet, you'll wake up the neighbors." I don't know what neighbors are, but I figure I'll bark if I want to; I just want to play for a bit and not be alone in the kitchen. As long as I get to play, I usually end up going back to sleep after an hour or so with mom muttering that it's not right to be awake at 3 in the morning.

What's surgery?


It was really hot this weekend, so I got to play in the shade outside, like in the grass in this picture. That part I liked.

Mom and dad say I have to have surgery soon on the thing in my right eye, which they call a cherry eye and say is common for my breed. I don't really know what they're talking about, but I think this surgery thing doesn't sound as much fun as chewing. I'll let you know Friday afternoon if I like surgery.
