No sleep for me

Someone said that a dog sleeps alot during the day, laying around in the sun and snoozing.  Well I have to say, I don't think I sleep all that much during the day.  After the disaster called the "closet guy", I realized that I spend most of my time running back and forth from room to room looking out the windows to see who's out there.  There are dogs across the street that get to sit on the driveway without leashes and I see them looking at me.  There's this cat that I DO NOT like, not a bit, called Whiskers that follows his mom for walks and he gets to sit outside too.  There are birds that dive bomb the bushes out front and finally the mail-lady...she gets the biggest bark I think.  I can hear her coming down the street and I just wait until she passes the house and comes back around to our side until I "say hello".  So I ask you, how's a dog suppose to sleep when he's got all that going on outside??  Before I know it it's 4pm and he's home...can't sleep then.  There's ball to play and treats to get.  When they tell me it's time for bed...I head right upstairs and lay right down...7:30am comes around early AND I am not a morning person.  How much sleep do you get during the day??  Sleep tight!

Closet Day

Well it's closet day and I'm having a fit.  There's some guy here who's going to make her closet nice and neat so she can jam all her stuff into it and not have it look like a disaster as he would say.  Only problem is, I don't know they guy and he's stressing me out.  He pulled up in his truck and I haven't stopped hissing yet.  I barked and growled and let him know that this is my house and who does he think he is and I thought it worked cause he looked scared...but now he's in and out of the house back and forth, walking around like this is his place!! AND the worst part is he took his big old tool box upstairs and I followed...after all thats my room and what happened?!...I got clunked right on the head with that box.  She said served me right for chasing after him as he walked up the stairs but what the heck!!   A Westie's gotta do what a Westie's gotta do and that's protect.  Who needs a German Shepherd or a Doberman when you got me.  ooh gotta go...he's back!!

It's back!!

The crossing of my paws and hoping and wishing has paid off!!!  They brought my snow back!!!  There was snow on the ground when I woke up and theres snow out there right now!  Boy am I lucky.  He says he can't believe it and she says all the little flowers will freeze but I LOVE IT!!!!!  Ok...I admit, this picture isn't from right this second but boy do I love the snow...ahhh the fond memories!!  Thank you snow gods for bring me some more snow...if just for a little while!!

Resting with her

Here I am after a long week of watching the house and chasing those birds and waiting for my flowers to grow.  I helped throw my Aunt's birthday party and cooked all that food for her friends.  I cleaned up and helped take out the garbage.   I'm just pooped.  Even though I have 2 big beds of my own, their bed is the most comfortable.  I can't get up here by myself but before he went downstairs he picked me up and put me up here so that I could rest my tired bones.  I have the twitches too.  Ever get those???  Pretty soon I'll be running and barking in my sleep!  Sweet dreams!!

Luck of the Irish

Here's to you St. Patrick!! Since St. Patricks day is in the middle of the week this year, they celebrated this past Sunday and had a big Corned Beef dinner.  The best part of the day was that it was my Aunt Kath's 60th so they made it a surprise party for her.  We had tons of food and of course lots of beer.  I hung around the cooler but all I got was a piece of ice.  I did however manage to sneak a couple of pieces of Corned Beef.  I even got to wear my lucky collar from Dublin Dog.   Now if I could just get a pot full of dog bones, I'd be all set.

Hope your day is filled with luck and watch out for the Leprechauns!!

Lots to say

AND I mean lots to say!!  I've been talking for a while now...and sometimes they just don't jump to it.    I mean whats a dog suppose to do...I stand by my water bowl and talk when it's empty, I stand by the door and talk when I need to get out to chase those birds.  I talk talk talk and nothing!!  Sometimes I walk right up to him and start flapping my gums and actually make the sound of an alligator chomping down.  Ally the Alligator they call me when I do that.  So I need to ask, do you talk to them...do they talk back?  I need to fine tune this training thing because they just aren't falling in line fast enough for me.

How about now?!

If you haven't noticed from the change on my page, I'm ready for Spring...and I think our yard is ready too.  He's been outside picking up sticks and raking and getting things ready...and I noticed little green things poking up from the ground (hmmm wonder if those are my toys?)  Anyway, pretty soon it will be St. Patricks day too so I figured I'd show you what they did to me last year.   Thanks to my Auntie Charma, I got that lovely hat.  Oh wait til I see her this year!  Anyway...hope your outside it starting to spring and that the birds are back for you to chase (sometimes I think I can fly).

Trouble

It finds me no matter where I am.  Can you see that spot on my back??  Well I went with him for a walk and then he took me with him to get dinner.   Somewhere between him going inside to pick it up and him coming back to the truck (oh maybe 15 minutes) I got this big grey spot on my back. He swears I didn't get that spot on my back from the walk, but she says he just wasn't paying attention.   She scrubbed me and brushed me hoping it would come out but it's there and that big ole spot is holding on to my hairs.  The best part is that she can't give me a bath cause I just had one of those emergency ones the other day because he walked me through the mud!!!  Too many baths isn't good for my skin...that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
