Bump on my rear end

I'm not gonna show it to you cuz I think it's gross, but now that my momma cut my hair she found a nickle-sized lump on my rear, well you know where... She said it might be those glands needing to be drained, but she wants the vet to do it and since it doesn't bother me they're gonna wait till they take Katie in for her shots. Rats, if it's not one thing it's another. Oh and momma says I've turned in to a little old man with warts all over my body! Can you believe she said that? Who ME a little old man???? Nevah happen!

I got a haircut!


Seems that my humans think I was getting too hot, so they chopped off all my hair today. I have to admit that it really does feel nice and cool. Humomma said my hair was starting to turn reddish brown where it was always black back there on my back hips.

See my happy face! Actually I was waiting for my food. My food always arrives at the same time every afternoon right here in this little room with two doors to keep out the other furries who try to eat my dinner.


Where's the food? See how nice and quiet I am while I wait? Aw common, bring it here please!


I just don't understand what's taking so long, so might as well lie down and rest while I'm waiting.

ps.  I finally got fed and am ready to go to bed now.

Fell down the stairs and found a new hiding place

About a week ago I fell down the basement stairs and stopped eating and didn't walk much and really, really worried my humans. They should've known that it was my way of healing, but nooooo, hudaddy just HAD to take me to the doc again! Well as it turns out that was a good thing because she gave me these pills that really knocked out the pain and got me back up and walking. Humomma said I reminded her of Angel Charmin when she used to walk around in circles, then fall down cuz she was dizzy. They're still trying to train Katie to be my guide dog, but she won't do it. Maybe Libby will do it?

Remember my last note about my new hiding place? Well since I got discovered by the light box I decided to dig in a little further... er, not really digging, but you know what I mean. It's the next best thing to digging that I've found in these parts where the outside ground is rock hard. This spot is right around the corner from where I was before and if it wasn't for my hudaddy finding me it would still be a secret!




Those speaker wires don't make the best pillow, but they provide a little distance between my face and those daggon dust bunnies! Humomma wanted you all to see that I was holding my head up again.

Since I can't do much hopping around anymore like I used to I decided to join this Blog Hop! When I signed up I was number 64. Come along and join the fun!

My new hiding place

Guess what? Nobody can find me here... well at least not the other furries in this house. Of course the two-legged guy with the flashbox found me, but he was really quiet so I could keep my special hiding place. None of the other doggies can fit in here anyway and the kitties only like soft places, so unless they lay on top of me, well,  I don't have to worry about them.

Thanks to everyone for writing in and asking about how I'm doing. Since I can't see much anymore I'm bumping in to more things and getting lost in the back yard. The other day my humomma had to put on golashes and don an umbrella to come rescue me from the rain. Guess where I was standing? Out on the cement by Charmin's grave waaaaaay in the very back of our big back yard. Guess I was asking for her help finding my way back. You know all that rain made it hard to sniff my way back to the deck. I couldn't even smell my own stuff to know where to drop more and kept going around in circles. Good news though! Still no more tumor growing back! WOOHOOO!!!!!

Take care everyone. Summer is on the way!

Look, no more tumor!

So my two-legged momma took a picture of my belly sans tumor, but then decided it was a bit too revealing since this is a family blog, so you'll have to use your imagination a bit to see my flat belly. Remember how big that tumor was? Well let me tell  ya, I am feeling sooooooo much better now and as you can see, am all smiles! If you zoom in on the pic you can also see my shiny white teeth. Daddy asked the doc to clean my teeth while she had me knocked out for the surgery. Now my humans let me kiss them without wincing from the bad breath.

If you haven't been on Katie's blog lately, go read all about our new sister Libby. She's an 8 year old Border Collie mix and she thinks she's the boss of everyone, except me of course. She just pretty much ignores me, probably thinks I'm just furniture since I'm usually sitting or laying on my pillow and staying out of everyone's way.

Thanks to everyone for your care and concern. My humans read all of your comments to me since I couldn't get online for awhile.

Licks and wags...

Resting again with Echo

Here's what I did this weekend while my humans had a girls' weekend at the house. Well actually this is what I do most of the time these days, but you know a guy's gotta conserve his energy, right? My feline sis Echo was helping me stay warm and even gave me a bit of a bath. Ain't she sweet!

My checkup



We all made a trip to the vet yesterday to get kennel cough shots so we could bring home our new adopted sister Libby. The vet gave me a quick looksy and, yes Daddy, the surgery spot was good!
