Life as a Puppy

The Life of a PuppyAuthor: Unknown
This morning, I woke up & kissed my dad’s head.I peed on the carpet, then went back to bed.“The life of a puppy, oh my, this is great.”Then I thought about breakfast,” I hope it’s not late.”
Mom took me outside, we walked for a while.This never fails to make Mama smile.I sniffed of everything, that we did pass,I ate something weird - it gave me gas.
I’m sure God loves me, I know that is true.He gave me so many great things to chew.Rugs, plants or rocks, I really don’t care.What I truly like best, is Dad’s underwear.
That obedience book, was sort of yummy.Though it didn’t sit well on my poor puppy tummy.I threw up a bit, but that was all right,When Mom found it later, I was well out of sight.
I made streamers of T. P., while running at full speed.Mom is pretty quick — but I was still in the lead.I flew under the bed, and Mom flew past,She stopped-shook her head, and breathed,“You’re too fast.”
Mama later phoned Daddy, and said, “It was frightening!”That afternoon, she was sure I’d pooped lightning.She’d sat at the computer, while I chewed the cord,She thought I was mad, but I was just bored.
When Mama had enough, couldn’t take anymore,That’s when my tushy got shoved out the door.I love it inside, but outside is best.Lay in the cool grass, and had a good rest.
That didn’t last long, there was too much to do–Can’t quite remember where I hid Daddy’s shoe.I found an old bone, and scratched at a flea,I watched the dumb squirrels as they jumped in a tree.
I barked at the kids, when they got off the bus.I can’t figure out why this makes Mama fuss.I barked at the neighbor, I barked at the wind.I barked and barked, till Mom yelled, “COME IN.”
The sun dipped in the west-soon Daddy would come!I sure love my daddy: we always have fun.I barked at my daddy, then turned on my charms,I woo-wooed, “Hello,” then jumped in his arms.
Sitting under the table — it’s sooo hard to wait.Daddy slipped me a goodie right off his plate.I raced through the house, and scattered my toys,Ricocheted off the furniture, and made lots of noise.
Mom found her purse - the one I abused.Daddy let loose a chuckle. Mom asked “Amused??”I cowered down low, I must be in trouble.Dad said, “Wasn’t MY boy, it must be his double!”
Mom turned off the TV, and said,”Time for bed.”Dad said “Let’s go boy,” and patted my head.I got in my spot, between Mom and Dad,I thought ’bout my day and what fun I had.
Mama kicked out my bone from the covers below,Then let loose a sigh — a sigh deep and low.She gave me a kiss, and snuggled me tight,And whispered so softly, ‘My darling goodnight’.

Look what they did to me...

Boy, oh boy, mommy and daddy did it this time. First of all, they take me on trips for three weekends in a row an then I got a shirt that said "Mommy's Little Pumpkin", but I really didn't think she would take it any further, but I was wrong....

I'm a tired puppy!

I've been to Nacogdoches a couple of weeks ago, spent time with cousin Oscar, and then had company this weekend. What's a tired puppy to do other than sleep and eat? Well, mommy is going back to school this week, so I'll be left at home to howl at anything that come by. Looks like I'll have time to catch up on my sleep.

Mush, puppy mush!

Well, mommy and daddy took me back to Nacogdoches this weekend. My friend, the Bobblehead's Bubba, was in a wheelchair after having surgery on his foot. Bubba wanted the bobblehead to pull him in his wheelchair, well, that wasn't happening. So, I got volunteered. You guessed it, I got to pull the Bubba in his wheel chair and I pulled him about 7 ft before they stopped me. Dang it, I could have made it to the door, but daddy stopped me. It's tough life, but daddy gave me a treat for this feat. They even made a video of me, now I'm famous. America's Greatest Dog, watch out, here I come!!!

Hey! Where'd everyone go?

Since last month, it seems like I have had people to play with. This morning I woke up and it was only Mommy and Daddy. Guess it's back to the hard life. Grandpa played with me a bunch and now I only have Daddy to depend on to let me go outside. Mommy said they're heading back to Alabama, don't know where that is, but I hope it's close. As long as Mommy keeps feeding me chicken, I won't mope too much...

Pretty much sums it up!

Have a Howling 4th of July

Ahh man, the dummies in the neighborhood are keeping me up. First, dad grilled out for 4 hours with Uncle Richard and now I didn't get anything but a measly piece of chicken. Here I have my dog cousins Stormy and Oscar and all we can do is howl at the boneheads shooting fireworks at each others houses. I think Oscar is a big ole scaredy cat, he's hiding from everyone. The fireworks got me so mad that instead of pottying, I howled at them and then hid behind daddy. What a bunch of dummies, I tell you. See, my mom and dad were smart and saved their money and spent it on me. Yes, I'm spoiled...
