Merry Puppy Christmas!

Santa left me a frozen sock outside this mornin!  Yay!  And he might have left a little sumthin, sumthin for Emmy too, she was sitting over by the shed, eating something this mornin!  Yay!  Thanks, Santa!  Here's a video of me and Emmy playin with my frozen sock!  Merry Puppy Christmas, ya'll!  : )..

Havin a little fun.. : )..

We had a little bit of snow the other morning!  I remember that stuff!  Brrr!  I put my foot in it and decided that was enough at first!  Oooh it was sooo cold!

 It wasn't much, but it was more than enough for now!

Here's one of my baby pictures after playin in the snow!

My momma and daddy thought I had another broken toenail, that would have been my fourth, but everything seems to be alright.  For now.  : )..  My foot is ok, so I'm not sure what was wrong with it.  My momma googled, "dog's toenails breaking" and found out she's not a bad puppy momma.  A lot of other dogs have the same issue.  She is going to try some Cod Liver or Tea Tree Oil on our food.  I'm rooting for the Tea Tree Oil.  I've heard Cod Liver tastes nasty!  Ick!

She also googled, "Stockholm Syndrome".  Lol.  I love my momma and daddy!  I love cuddlin with them!  I love jumping on them!  I love trying to lick them!  I just luv, luv, luv 'em.  Momma said it was because I never had a choice.  Lol.  They just bought me and brought me home.  Took me away from my family and made me love them.  I don't think so.  She's silly.  Ha!  Ha, momma!  I get toys to play with!  I get treats to eat!  I love puppy cookies!  I have a big back yard to play in!  I have a big sister to play with!  Check out this video of me and Em playin with an old milk jug!

I have a lotta fun here!  I've got squirrels, outside kitties and a lotta other puppies in the neighborhood to bark at!  I've got two older brother cats to chase!  I've got a warm bed to lay on.  I get a knotty bone to chew on at times!  I've got two people who think I'm just the cutest little puppy that has ever been.  Emmy and I have it made.  Everything else is just gravy.  Speakin of gravy, I'm gonna go get me sumthin to eat!  : )..  Catch ya later!

I'm still here, even though I'm not here often!

I have had two more broken toenails and visits to Dr. Swoope.  I am soo rambunctious and can't wait to run out in the yard to bark at kitties, squirrels and other puppies that live outside of our fence, and I can't make myself run down all the back deck's steps.  There are only five, and I usually make it down two before I leap!  Whoo!  Toenails schmoenails!  There are living things to bark at!  Time's a wastin!

We also have a great new groomer!  It's our "Aunt Chelsea"!  She's great!  She has two puppies herself, Soci, who might be part Saluki (?), and Raya, who is a Chinese Crested pup.  She has such long, long, long hair!  But she's a cutie!  I like Raya!  And Soci!  And "Aunt Chelsea"!  Check out our great new pics!!

My momma says I'm such a hound dog!  Lol.  Check out our great bandanas!

Alrighty!  Gotta run!  There are things outside that are beggin me to come out and bark!  Can't keep'em waiting!  Cya later!!

My first birthday present! Lol.

I got a new refrigerator!  Nah!  Just kiddin, momma and daddy had to buy one because the other one finally gave out.  Lol.  Emmy and I got to go for a ride, got to stop at PetSmart, play with a lot of other puppies, saw a HUGE horse!  It was GINORMOUS!  Daddy said it was a Great Dane, but I still think it was a horse.  Ha!  I didn't bark at him, just sniffed at him and let him walk on by, UNTIL he got too close to my sister!  I had to tell him a thing or two after that!  Lol.  Anyway, I got some new squeaky toys that I love more than anything, some delicious treats and Emmy got a new, purple, spiky ball to play with.  We came back home and got to run and play out in the backyard for a while.  Momma said I can have a little bit of ice cream in a few minutes.  That stuff is delicious!  I love ice cream!  Woof!  Alrighty!  I gotta run for now!  Cya later!!

It's my very first birthday! Woof!!

Momma said we are going to have sooo much fun, just like we did on Emmy's birthday!  I can't wait!  She's taking a vacation day so that she can spoil me rotten!  That NEVER happens!  Ever.  I'm not spoiled at all!  Lol.  Not even a little bit!  Alright.  Yeah.  You got me.  I am spoiled rotten.  : )..  But I'm worth every minute of that.  It's my birthday today!  I'm going to be dreaming of squeaky toys, balls, bones, cookies, pupperoni and stuffed animals all night long!  Oooh, I can't wait for tomorrow!  I've already gotten some birthday cookies!  Yay!  'Cause it's my very first birthday today!  It's my birthday..  It's my birthday..  It's my birthday..  Go Milo!  Go Milo!  It's my birthday..  Oops.  Sorry!  Lol.  Gotta little carried away there...  But..  Hey!  It's my birthday!  Did I mention that yet?  ; )..  Ya gotta love me though.  My momma says so!  Alrighty, I gotta go to sleep so I can wake up to my birthday treats!  Woof!  Cya laters!!!  (itsmybirthday!)

Emmy's Birthday Celebration!

We had sooo much fun on Tuesday!  We didn't know we were going to do anything that day, momma and daddy surprised us.  They stopped by and got a "picnic" lunch from McDonald's and went to a park to eat.  They got us each a plain cheeseburger to snack on.  : )..  It was sooo yummy!  Here's a picture of us waiting patiently for a bite!

 Here's another close up picture of me!  How could you resist a face like this?  Seriously?  : )..

 We stopped by PetCo and got some yummy cookies and treats off their treat bar to take home and some new squeaky tennis balls too!  I love squeaky toys!  They are pawsome!  : )..

 Then we got to stop by and see Uncle Steve!  We love Uncle Steve!  Uncle Steve is great!!!  Emmy had sooo much fun that day.  We love us some Uncle Steve!

And finally, here I am snugglin.  I am sooo irresistable.  Right?

Btw, it's my first birthday on Thursday.  It doesn't seem like I should be that old already.  Whew!

I'm getting sooo big!  I'm starting to get a little aggressive towards other puppies though.  Emmy

says that momma and daddy are going to get me a dog whisperer for my birthday.  Ha!  That's

funny.  Right?  Right?

My update and Happy Birthday Emmy!

I broke a toenail off to the quick. Ouchies! Doesn't that sound painful? Doctor Swoope couldn't believe I was still as happy and bouncy as I was with my toenail like that. I had to stay there, they knocked me out and trimmed my toenail. I got to go back home this afternoon. I have a big bandage on my foot but it feels a lot better. And now? It's my big sister Auntie Em's second birthday! Happy birthday Emmy! I woof you! : )..

 Here I am with my bandaged foot..  Don't you feel sooo sorry for me?  Aww..  Poor wittle puppy?!  : )..

Here's my big sister Auntie Em on her birthday!

I'll tell ya about her bday celebration next time!  Gotta run!  On four legs again!  Yay!

I'm baaack! : )..

I've been helpin momma write her blog a lot.  I bark at her all the time and she writes it down for me.  : )..  Lol.  Alright.  So, I think I help her out.  I bark at her everytime she's on the computer until she tells me I'm sooo cute and picks me up.

I also hurt my left paw a couple weeks ago.  : (..  Ouchie!!  I jumped up on the couch with momma and my foot went down between the cushion and the arm of the chair, all the way to the springs.  I don't know if I hit a furniture tack or a spring that was pokin up, but it jabbed the pad on my foot!  Ohhh that hurt sooo bad!  I bled soo much!  Momma felt soooo sorry for me!  Don't you all?  : (..  She put some peroxide on a paper towel and dabbed at it, and then put some neosporin on it a few times.  I hobbled around that night and part of the next day.  Ohhh, it still hurt sooo bad.  I finally got to where I could walk on it, but I'm still holding my foot up when I run.  Lol.  You should see me!  I'm almost as fast on three legs as I am on four!  Whoosh! 

Momma said I have to go see the doctor today to make sure that it's not infected, although we have all looked and can't see anything.  But, since I'm still holding it up when I run, she and daddy wanna have it checked out.  I like Dr. Swoope.  He gives me honey.  That stuff is delicious!  Yummy!  Not sure if I will like him lookin at my foot though!  I don't like it when momma and daddy try lookin at it either!  Yeow!  I lick it all the time so you know it's clean.  But..  Momma still wants to make sure it's alright.  I'll letcha know how that goes.  They are takin me to the doctor later today..  Dontcha feel sorry for me???  : (..  Sigh..  I'll make it though..  : )..  I'm a tough little boy! 

Which reminds me!!  Momma said my first birthday is coming up on October 13th!  We are going to have a birthday party this weekend because Emmy's second birthday is tomorrow!  Pawsome!  We are going to hopefully get new toys (yeah, I have pretty much chewed all our toys to pieces!  Lol.), and maybe have our friends Uncle Steve and Dee come over!  Doesn't that sound like fun?  I think so!

Alrighty!  Time to go bark at some squirrels and kitties outside!  Later!!!

Havin a little fun with my brother..

Here I am havin a little fun with my brother, Festus.  It would have been funnier if momma had the camera and caught me on video, but I kept stopping and looking at her everytime she tried to move towards it, so you will have to settle with the grainy iphone picture for now.  I'm sure I will do this again soon when she can grab the camera.  Lol.  This is me..  Stalking my prey..  I stood soo still..  I moved one paw closer..  And stood still..  My prey was mesmerized..  Frozen in its tracks!  I moved another paw closer..  Momma moved and I stopped to look..  She stopped movin..  I resumed my hunt..  Yadda yadda yadda a couple more times with the same stuff..  And then momma snapped this picture..  I got closer to my prey..  And then!!  It kept smackin me on my head!  Uhh..  Hello!  Prey!  You're not supposed to do that..  Momma didn't get a good picture of that, thankfully!  But, hey!  I'm good at stalkin!  You'll get to see it in action one day!  Until then, here's the picture!  : )..

I'm great at stalkin!  See?!



It's been crazy but fun lately..

We had a little girl come over and stay the weekend with us recently.  Her name was Shyla and she's a Shiba Inu.  We thought she would be bigger than what she was, but she wasn't much bigger than us.  Btw, I'm still growing.  I'm 10 months old now and over 17 pounds.  : )..  Momma said she's gonna put a brick on my head to keep me from growin, but I will just shake it off!  Ha! 

Anyway, we have played and played and played in the time since I've been on here.  I fought with Shyla after a few hours of her bein here because I kept nipping at her face and she didn't like that.  I kind of do that to Emmy, but she knows that I'm just playin and doesn't fight with me.  Well, she doesn't too often unless I just make her mad.  We mostly fight over bones and knotty chew bones right now. 

I love playin fetch and I beat Emmy to the prize all the time.  I'm super fast!  Ok, so sometimes I pretend that I forget the prize so that she can carry it back to momma.  : )..  I really don't have ADD, although sometimes my momma wonders.  Lol.

Momma says she thinks I should get a modelin job.  Thinks I'm way cuter than any of the puppies on the Cairn Terrier calendar we have hangin in our house (I think she's right!).  What do ya'll think?  Think I could be a runway model?  Take a look at some of my best shots so far..

 Hey!  Wait!  That's Emmy.  She put that one in there.
  Lol.  Whatta sweet little puppy!

 Here's one of me runnin!  I'm super fast, I tell ya!

 Me chillin in my pool.

Always a favorite of mine.  Still can't figure out

 what's missin in this picture though.

 Hmm.  I don't think that's either one of us.

 Seriously.  Who is cuter?  Me?  Right?  It's me?  Right?!

See?

 Seriously, my momma says no one could
resist a puppy that was this cute!

 Spendin some quality time with momma..  : )..

And finally, the piece d'resistance..
My momma says I could be a model.
Wish me luck!

Emmy and I graduated today!

 I got to wear a hat!  I didn't like it, but I got to wear one!

 Emmy got to wear it too!  : )..

We love our Cairn Trainer Karen!  She's pawesome!  We learned so much from her!  Whew.  I need a nap after all that!

Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!

Hey!  Look!  There's a leaf!  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!  What's that?  A dog barking outside?  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!  There!  There's the mailman!  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!  Another leaf!  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!  A cat moved!  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!  My momma's on the computer!  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!  She's ignoring me!!  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!  Wait!  There's a fly!  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!  What's that?  A dog barking on tv?  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!  I'm barking?  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!  Bark!!  Whew.  Noooo.  There's momma's commercial that she hates!  Nooooo!  Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!! Bark!!

My 9 month bday.. : )..

I am 9 months old today!  I'm gettin sooo big.  I weighed in at 17 pounds last Saturday at PetSmart.  I have a really loud bark too.  : )..  Lol.  Don't ya wanna send me a 9 month bday present?  My momma says she will gladly accept donations.  She said we all need a vacation.  I've never had one of those before.  Alrighty, I'm callin it an early night.  Gonna go play with momma for a bit!  Catch ya laters!

Our new trick. : )..

Emmy and I are going through intermediate / advanced puppy training.  We have a lotta fun with Karen our Cairn Terrier trainer.  : )..  Check out our new trick she taught us...  We're so smart! 

We really like going to puppy school, although this was our fourth week of a six week class.  Now all we have to do is learn how to keep from losin our little puppy minds and we'll be set.  Gotta go for now, catch ya'll later!

Momma says I'm smart.. But..

She also says that Emmy and I are both starting to show some really bad traits. What's that? Pupperoni? Milkbones? She says we are becoming stubborn and copping a pack mentality here lately. I'm going through intermediate puppy training right now, but my trainer Karen (we love her! She gave me a gold star at puppy school this week!) is actually teaching me advanced puppy training things too! I'm doing great! Well, while I'm there, anyway. Outside of class Emmy and I aren't being good and sweet at all times. I know! Hard to believe! Right? Ohh, momma sees it though. She said it's getting pretty bad and that we need to stop. Us? The sweetest little angels? The best little... Yeah. That's stretching things a little. Alright, momma, a lot. By the way, what's a Dog Whisperer?

Happy 4th of July!

This is my first 4th of July!  I was a little scared after hearing some of the fireworks Friday and Saturday night.  I ran downstairs and jumped on the couch and hid behind daddy for a bit.  We went to a bbq at one of momma's co-workers yesterday.  There were sooo many people there, and we had sooo much fun!  Thanks Aunt Terri and Uncle Randy!  We protected their house from someone lurking out on their front porch (ok, yeah, so it was just Uncle Randy, but we were protecting the house anyway!), we protected their back porch from some little lost pomeranian that turned out to be one of the neighbors, and then we played around with a few other things that weren't ours.  We growled and barked and snarled like we had lost our minds, but, we had a great time!  We got home around 2am, and slept in until 10am.  Whew!  But we had sooo much fun!  Woof!

I'm back! Been crazy busy! : )..

Whew.  Been a busy and crazy couple weeks since I've been on here.  Saw Famous Seamus and the Travelbongs in Lone Jack, MO & met a few new friends!  Here's a great video by them!  Check it out!

All my friends know the Low Rider!

Woot!  How awesome are they?!  I know them personally!  They've played at my house!

I would post some pictures, but for some reason, it's taking forever and a day for the picture to load up.  Anyway, after that, I went to my first day of Intermediate puppy training.  I have Karen the Cairn Terrier trainer instead of Kevin now.  Yay for Karen, but I miss my friend Kevin too.  Anyway, I learned that I don't have to bark at other dogs like Emmy does!  I can be a good little boy when I'm not around her.  Daddy had a cold the next week and stayed home with us for a couple days.  Momma and Emmy came down with the same cold, so I got to go to this last week of puppy training all by myself with Daddy.  : )..  I learned how to sit nicely and wait while people greeted him first.  I did a great job.  I also learned "Park it", where I go and get on a pillow or a blanket and relax for a minute.

Anyway, I'm still here, still movin, still just as sweet as ever.  My momma said I am the sweetest little puppy that has ever been.  I know it!  I'm full of sugar for sure!  Woot!  Alrighty.  Gotta go snuggle for a while!  Catch ya laterz!

Scottish Highland Games!

Guid eenin!  Hey!  Mucker!  Hou ar ye?  A mist ye sae muckle!  Ae moment please!  A need tae practice ma Scots.  We went to my first Scottish Highland Games today.  We got in for free, just because I am soooooo cute!  Nah, just kiddin, it was because it was already over by the time we got there.  We still got to walk around lookin at stuff though.  Got to see guys in short skirts!  Wow.  Can we say, "Razor"?  Lol.  Just kiddin!  : )..   Here's some pics from our visit.

Here's Emmy and me chillin' out.  : )..

 Dude in a skirt!

Puppy Training..

I began a six week puppy training class yesterday at PetSmart, and graduated an hour later!  : )..  I am a smart little boy.  I already know how to sit with non-verbal commands, and come when called for Pupperoni when momma does it.  I luv me some pupperoni!  It's awesome.  Anyway, back to the training, I learned how to lay down from the sit position, learned how to stay and showed how well I do with loose leash walking.  I did sooo well, my trainer, Kevin, said I can start Intermediate training next week instead!  I learned everything I know from my sister.  She's smart too.  : )..  Anyway, here's some pics we took!

 That's Kevin and another little girl that liked me and Emmy.  She played with us and gave us treats!

 That's me in my new harness.  No more collar for me.  : )..

Emmy chilln out.  Well, as much as she could.  It's hot in there!



Here's me and Emmy with my diploma.  I didn't get a cap to wear like Emmy when she graduated because "corporate" people told our trainers they couldn't do that anymore.  Boo "corporate" people!  Bad people.  Look at the name on your building.  It doesn't say "CorporateSmart", does it?  You work for animals.  And turn down the humidity in that buildin, wouldja?  Momma says she's going to call the corporate office AGAIN and have a discussion with them.  She did that last year.

Here's a picture of me after puppy training.  I was wiped out!  Bushed!  Soooo tired!  Just wait until next week though!  I will really be workin then!  Whew.  Sorry the pic is a bit blurry, but momma took it while holding her phone turned around and without being able to look at the pic and focus.  Lol.

Alrighty!  Gotta go take a dip in my spish spash pool again.  I love that pool!  U can't keep me out of it!

Cya later!

More "Things With No" Masterpieces..

I've been bizzee workin on my collection.  I'm great at this!  Practice makes perfect.  I'll be rollin in pupperoni before long!  Check out my new stuff!  It's pawsome!  : )..  Enjoy!  Feel free to buy anytime! 

I call this one, "Dog with no face".

And, "Dog with no ears and a butt". 

 "Hoof with no cow"?  Lol.  Alright.  You caught me, it came like that!  But I chew on it all the time!!

 "Leash with no puppy!  Run free Emmy!  Run free!  Now come back!  Come back Emmy!" 

"Head with no mouse".

My new monkey, I call it, "Monkey with no ear."

 And finally, the piece d'resistance..  I tore this monkey a new one!  ; ).  Lol.  Sorry, couldn't resist!

I was after that squeaky thing inside!  You know!  It's like the prize in a new box of cereal!  You gotta have it!  Alrighty, that's it for now, gotta go play with my new squeaky thing now!  Peace out! 

Another fun and busy week!

Whew, sorry, been busy.  You know.  We had a party!  Kids and puppies galore!  Then I spent time chasin toys, my sister and my brothers.  Got my stitches out the other day.  Chewed through four leashes.  Got a new harness.  We got a new vehicle.  We are going to sign me up for puppy training classes beginning on Saturday, June 6th with Kevin at PetSmart in Independence...  And the best yet?!  We got a swimmin pool for Emmy and me!  It's awesome!  Here's some pictures of us in it!

Doesn't it look like fun?  I wasn't sure what it was at first, now momma and daddy can't keep me out of it!

Check it out!  Here's a video of me havin fun!  Lol.



I was huntin alligators!  I will save my momma!  I won't let them get her!  Do you see them too?

Here's one of me and Emmy in the pool!

We have sooo much fun in the pool!  Don't you wanna jump in and join the fun?!

C'mon in, the water's fine!  In fact, I think I might go spish and spash some more!  Later gators! I'll get you yet!

We had a partay! My first one!

I've been relaxin this week, helpin momma get the house cleaned for a party that we had last night.  It was sooo excitin!  We had kids and puppies to play with!  And music to listen to!  How fun was that?  We ran and played and ran some more.  They threw balls for us to chase and bring back.  I was worn out by the end of the night!  Whew.  That was my first party.  Emmy said she had one before.  We had hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and all kinds of stuff too.  : )..  Here's some pics of the kids!

 This is Thurlin and Emmy. 

 Thurlin says, "Are YOU lookin at me?!  Are YOU lookin at ME?!"  Lol.

Here are Cain and Thurlin in daddy's hot rod.

We had a great time, I'll try and load some videos later.

I need a nap!  Whew.  Laters....  : )..

Just chillin..

I'm back.  I went to a new house yesterday.  They took me and put me in a little box, pulled me out and I took a nap.  I woke up and was feelin a little..  different?  Can't quite put my finger on it, but I have a little pain down by my boy toys.  Anyway, I stayed in the box last night and was a good boy.  Momma left a blue tshirt that she had worn and Daddy left me one of his Comp Cams tshirts that he had worn for me to lay on.  I also had my tail with no fox to keep me company.  I woke up this morning and finally, Momma came and picked me up.  I snuggled with Momma on the way home, and then sniffed Emmy for a couple minutes just as soon as I made it in the front door.  She was soooo happy to see me, both our tails were waggin for the longest time.  We played outside, we played inside, we laid down for a while, then went outside and came back inside, and then we ate, and then we played some, and then we laid down for a bit.  Whew.  Busy day!  Here are some pictures!

 Oops!  My secret is out!  Apparently, I've been moonlighting at night.  I'm an entrepawneur.  : )..  Lol. 

Just kiddin, Daddy brought Emmy and me some new toys and these treats.  Cool, huh?  I'm worn out!  Later!
