Gosh, it's been a long time! (alternate title: Summer is Awesome)

...and so much has happened! I went on a really long road-trip to Saskatchewan to pick up my grandma. 




My grandma is awesome. I love her. 

Today I got to sniff around and stuff. It was awesome. 

Sniffing around is  awesome. 

My mama has been working in her yard. She is very excited because the maintenance guys built her a new back step. It doesn't have a railing yet, but it's so much better (and safer) than before. On Sunday she is going to have a birthday party for my grandma who is turning 70 later this month. She has the BBQ set up on the step already! 

I hope she drops lots of stuff. 

Mama says this photo reminds her of someone. 

Summer. Is. Awesome. 

Happy Birthday to me!

Yesterday was my birthday. I am two years old now!  I did not have a cake. I like cake, but I like Cheese Puffs more, so my mom got me those. 

I have a friend staying over. She might stay for all of spring break, she might just stay one more night. It all depends on what her family want to do. Her name is Fluffy. (Sometimes my mama calls me 'fluffy-butt' but we don't say that around her. She might get offended). 

Fluffy doesn't know about cats. She treats Mew like a dog and wants to play with him. She leaves him alone when he goes away from her, though. That's probably a good thing. Mew is kind of dramatic. She tries to chase Ladybug, which is kind of funny, since Ladybug is the Cat Defender of the household. She doesn't take any guff from dogs. When Fluffy bothers the cats I go get her, and bring her back to the couch. It's safer that way. Besides... she has me to play with, and I'm a lot of fun. 

Have a great weekend! It's Spring Break here, so I get to keep my mama for a whole week! 

Do you hear what I hear?

 My mum went out to check the chickens wearing her tall boots and a pair of shorts, a summer shirt and her winter jacket. She says it's only -13 so it's not like it's cold. 

I think she's crazy. She doesn't even have fur! 

I've been thinking a lot this weekend while my mama's been working on report cards. I thought about cookies. I  thought about cats. And I thought about all the treats mum has hidden in the spare room. Who is Santa Paws anyhow? 

Horses & Anniversaries

Sneaking up on a horse is quiet business. You must keep your nose down and your mouth closed... 

It helps if you keep your hind legs kind of stiff when you walk. If the horse sees you, he'll know you mean business. 

When you get next to the horse, bark REALLY loudly! 

I personally think this horse is deaf. No one could ignore a ferocious dog like me for very long otherwise! 

In other news, it's been one year since I came to live at my mom's house. It was a year ago today that I was dropped off on her front steps in my kennel. Wow. A lot has changed since then! I can sit, lie down, shake, high five and heel! I don't pee on furniture any more, I'm not scared of kennels or crates, and I don't chew up the house as much as I used to (with the exception of TimTams. Mmm.)

Then! 

Now!

Mom says I am the best early Christmas present she's ever gotten! :) 

On the Road Again!

I am a travelling dog. I like going on adventures. I just do. There's nothing like the feel of a comfy blanket and a window to look out of. 

Today we went to Norway House because my mama's cousin got off the plane there. She was supposed to get off the plane in Cross, but it couldn't land, so we made the drive to pick her up. 

It's been a long time since we've had a cable ferry in Cross. I like cable ferries. They are fun. On the way into Norway House it was just us on the ferry. On the way back there was two regular trucks and one big tanker truck. The tanker truck was WHITE. I am scared of white trucks so I barked at it to scare it off. My mom about jumped through the roof when I barked. It was kind of funny, though I'm glad she didn't drive into the lake. There's a lot of ice in there! 

This is me, sitting in the backseat of the cousin's van. She calls me her nephew. Before my mama had a vehicle she used to show up and take me on rides in her van because I love rides so much. I love her. She's very nice. She also makes me homemade dog cookies for Christmas. Last year Richard tried to eat my banana flavoured cookies, but my mama didn't let him. 

This week we're going to Thompson, but I think I might stay behind so mom can get shopping done. All I can say is that I hope she brings good treats! 

Sunny is off leash!

I have a yard! Zooooooooooooooooooooom! I can run run run. There are so many things to pee on. There are so many things to smell. I can't decide where to go first! My yard is huge! 

My mom introduced me around the yard today. She stayed outside with me and played. Run!!! I love to run!!! 

I thought mom was nuts, "introducing me to the yard", but when she let me out all by myself, I wasn't sure what to do. Was I allowed to go past the steps? I stood by the steps for a long time til she told me to 'okay...go!' and I went!!!

I ran and came back straight away. 

Mom was right. Fences are AWESOME.

Cats Rule and Dogs Drool!

Hi. My name is Mew, and I have temporarily taken over this blog because Sunny the Dog is too busy sleeping to do his promised blog on the things he's thankful for. Just like a dog... sign up for the blog and leave all the work for the cats. 

I like Sunny, but he's too exuberant. It's a good thing he has me to keep him in line. His spelling needs work, but there're limits to my favour-doing deeds. Here's his list: 

My Thankful List - By Sunny MacCanine

1. Cats. I am thankful for cats. (I hope that gets them off my back)

Dogs aren't terribly creative, are they? At least this one is sincere. *sigh*
