Playing With Chase's Toys

2010-08-03T13:39:00.003-04:00

Today I was bored and tired of playing with my own toys. I decided that I would hang out and play with Chase’s toys in his nursery. After all, a big brother's responsibility is to make sure that his little brother's toys are safe. After playing with a few things, here are my conclusions.

The toy car was a little uncomfortable.I am glad that I get to sleep in the bed with Jay and Amy because the crib just seems like a prison to me.
I loved the stroller! Who needs exercise when being pushed by a human is so much more comfortable.

Waiting For My Baby Brother

2010-07-30T15:11:00.000-04:00

Today I was a little sad because I do not want to have to wait for Chase to come home from Korea. His nursery is all decorated, so I figured I would hang out on his bed.I really hope that he comes home soon.

Pool Time

2010-07-18T23:58:00.002-04:00

Those of you that know me know that I HATE the water. You would think that Jay and Amy would know this after 10+ years of being my owners. However, this evening they went swimming at Jay’s parent’s house. They usually do not go swimming, but when they do I get to stay inside unsupervised chasing and tormenting the cat, Doc. However, today Jay and Amy thought it would be fun to have me play with them in the pool…NOT COOL!
I did not enjoy myself at all and took every opportunity to get out of the pool as quickly as possible and to get dried off.
Check out my pool exiting skills.

Hopefully the cold weather comes soon so Jay and Amy go back to hibernating on the couch with me comfortably resting by their sides.

Hanging Out With Addison

2010-07-10T23:50:00.003-04:00

Today I did my “dogly” duty and played with Jay and Amy’s niece, Addison while Jay and Griff were working at Jesse’s new house. I really love kids and jump at any opportunity to get a photo op with a baby. I still need to teach Addison a few things about being a baby. She does have the slobbering down but if only I could get her to stick out her tongue…then my job would be complete.

Baby Brother

2010-06-16T23:40:00.002-04:00

I am posting this to let everyone know that I am going to be a big brother. I don’t know much about this adopted child except that Jay and Amy keep saying that he will be arriving from Korea by the end of the year. I am so excited because soon there will be two babies running around the house. Let the good times roll!

Easter Treat

2010-04-04T17:35:00.000-04:00

Today Jay and Amy got really excited and asked me if I wanted a treat….DUH, of course I did! Anyway, Jay showed me the treat and when I went to get it, the treat disappeared and turned into a piece of plastic. I tried looking for it, but then Jay picked up the piece of plastic and it turned back into a treat. I went to get it again, but POOF, the treat again disappeared and turned into a piece of plastic. After about 3 minutes of this and just as I was about to open a case of whoopass, Jay gave me the treat. Jay and Amy thought that it was so funny as they videotaped me.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Lola Came To Play...And Play We Did!

2010-04-02T22:18:00.003-04:00

On Wednesday evening, the Hill’s dropped Lola off at our house. Today, Amy and Jay also had the Myers’ children over for an action packed day. The morning started with a long walk around 8:00am. While Jay went to work, Amy and the Myers’ children dyed Easter eggs while Lola and I rest from the walk. When Jay got home, we went outside for lunch and some rollerblading on the street. We then went to the park where Jay and Tyler played Frisbee golf and Lola and I ran around with Kayla and Emily. After walking back from the park, Lola and I were so exhausted we crashed on the couch.
Exercising is fun and all but I prefer to veg on the couch. My 10 year old body needs its rest!

Snow It All

2010-02-26T00:05:00.006-05:00

We have gotten over 40 inches of snow this year and I am happy to stay inside the entire winter and hibernate with Jay and Amy.However, after yesterdays 10 inches of snow, Jay thought that it would be fun to video tape me after he put me in the snow. I crawled my way out but then he climbed into a snow drift and tempted me with an imaginary treat. As you can see, I managed to get to make it most of the way until I realized that he did not have a treat. The things I go through to make Jay and Amy laugh. Thankfully I did get a treat when we went inside.

Vacuum Cleaners Suck

2010-02-25T23:49:00.012-05:00

Tonight Jay and Amy got me on video trying to get their stupid noise maker. They get it out every now and then and most of the time I do not mind it. Usually I like to sit and stare at it. However, out of the blue it makes this loud hissing sound out of its mouth that drives me crazy.

One of these days I'll get a hold of that thing and teach it not to hiss at me in MY house!

The Vet

2010-02-12T17:18:00.005-05:00

I can’t believe that I continued to have my sneezing fit today. Just as I thought, Jay and Amy took me to see the NASTY vet.
I tried to squirm away whenever they let go of me, but I did not have the strength. It is times like that when I wish I were a big labrador. Then I would show them a thing or two.

It turns out that the sneezing is most likely from my allergies. However, I overheard the vet say something about my teeth possibly being an issue and needing to be cleaned. When I get done this blog post, I will be Googling “anesthesia” and “teeth extraction” to find out what they mean. I’ll keep you posted.

Sneezing Attack!

2010-02-12T13:55:00.003-05:00

The past couple of days I have been sneezing a lot. I’m not sure what is making me sneeze, but it really interrupts my sleeping schedule. Last night, Jay decided to film me.

Hopefully the sneezing stops soon because if it keeps up, I overheard Jay and Amy say that they would have to take me to the vet…I HATE THE VET!!!

Blizzard

2010-02-12T13:41:00.003-05:00

We got hit hard with a blizzard Tuesday night and all day Wednesday. Jay and Amy decided that they would go out and shovel several times throughout the day to keep up with the snow. I thought that I would go outside and give him a paw.Turns out that the snow was very cold.
I thought that it would be better if I helped out by watching them shovel from inside of the house.I really loved staying cozy with them inside during the blizzard.

Christmas Time!

2009-12-26T15:10:00.000-05:00

This year for Christmas, I managed to pull off 2, count them 2 treats from Jay and Amy. Christmas Eve, Jay and Amy went out with friends and while they were gone, I found the popcorn ball present that the groomer gave them to give me. I quickly gobbled that deliciousness up and waited for them to get home. When they got home, they saw that I ate the popcorn ball. I got scolded, but that’s all!

On Christmas day, Jay put together a 30Rock themed Christmas for Amy. Here I am as Tracy Jordan.
After Jay and Amy opened their gifts, I got to open a present but it was not a treat.

I’m not upset that I got another stupid outfit because I got a 2nd treat anyway. Manipulating Jay and Amy is EASY! Maybe next year I will try for 3 treats.

Doc Visit

2009-11-21T19:30:00.000-05:00

Today Jay and Amy took me to Doc’s house. Since Grump and Mee-Maw were on vacation, I thought that this was going to be a great visit because I could chase their pesky cat Doc all around the house and not get yelled at by Grump. However, when we arrived, Doc jumped right on Amy’s back and sat on her shoulders like a necklace.
I could not believe it…Amy actually let him on her shoulders and I think that she may have enjoyed it.

One day I’ll catch Doc and teach him to never mess with MY Amy!

10th Birthday!

2009-11-20T12:15:00.004-05:00

Today I turned 10 years old. Jay and Amy are usually great at throwing parties so I got all dressed up this morning waiting for the surprise. Sadly, none came. No party, no presents to unwrap...What the heck happened! I was ready to pack up my things and leave when Jay called me to give me a treat.

I guess I'll stay around for another year!

Happy Halloween

2009-11-01T10:06:00.004-05:00

This year as usual, Amy got me another stupid costume to wear. I have learned throughout the years to let Amy have her fun so I wore the costume without giving her much trouble.
Halloween this year was very wet. It had rained all day and by 6:00pm when trick or treating started in our neighborhood, it was pouring. As always, I monitored the door keeping a look out for treaters. If I liked them, they were allowed candy.

Snoring

2009-10-24T10:08:00.001-04:00

Jay and Amy always tell their friends that I snore very loud sometimes when I sleep. A few nights ago I was sleeping and unbeknownst to me, Jay recorded me snoring. I added the sound file below because I personally do not think that it sounds that bad. They are just lucky I let them sleep in the bed with me and not on the floor at night.

INJURED

2009-10-23T11:22:00.003-04:00

A few days ago, Jay and Amy spotted a tic on me. They pulled it out but now I have a scab where I was bit. It itched so badly and I just had to keep scratching it. Amy saw that I was scratching the area open and she put this stupid wrap around me so I cannot get to it. Man I wish that I had opposable thumbs right now. Not only does it still itch, but I can’t go outside without the lady dogs making fun of me. I wish that it would just heal already!

Lola Plays "Find The Sock"

2009-10-01T22:26:00.006-04:00

Today was Lola's last day at our house because Tom and Lisa are coming back from vacation. Thank goodness...I thought she'd never leave. This evening before Tom came to get her, Jay and Amy thought it would be fun to take the sock that Lola is obsessed with when she was not looking and video her trying to find it.

I of course LMAO on the couch the whole time while she repeatedly fell into their evil plot.

Lola Steals The Show

2009-09-30T21:21:00.003-04:00

Tonight Lola and I were playing and I felt like showing off my flips that Jay does to me. It was AWESOME! Of course when I got done, Lola came to Jay with this sock that she started playing with yesterday. Amy and Jay think that it is SOOOOO cute. Big deal, so she never wants to give up the sock. Anyway, long story short, Jay and her started playing with the sock and my flips were forgotten.

Having Lola here this past week has been fun, but I can't wait to get back to the good old days of just Jay, Amy and Me!

Lola Going Crazy!

2009-09-25T15:58:00.002-04:00

Lola came to visit us one more time while the Hill's went to Disney. All I can say is that she is going to put me in an early grave with how energetic she is. One morning she decided to run in circles around the bed. I could only watch and laugh at how crazy she is. I am so glad that Jay was able to film it as you would never believe me.

When will Lola learn that laying around and sleeping is a better alternative and also makes for a GREAT day?!

Vacation At the Hill's House

2009-09-09T20:41:00.005-04:00

This past week, Jay and Amy went on vacation without me. They sent me to the Hill's house for the week to spend time with my friend Lola. I love it there, it is so relaxing! Also, I do not have to be on my best behavior because Tom and Lisa feel bad yelling at me. I am the KING of their house.

During the week, after I ate some fallen food, Lisa tried to get it out of my mouth. She even tried putting on my shock collar, but I knew that it would not work. After the food digested, I managed to hack Lisa's Facebook page. Below is Lisa's, I mean my post. HEE! HEE! HEE!

You see Jay, I have my special collar on. You told Lisa it would work to "shock" me into listening. But you are wrong. I ate a big piece of cheddar cheese and Lisa couldn't do anything about it. LOL!! I'm loving it here! Woohoo!

Day Of Rest..Or So I Thought

2009-08-12T01:04:00.000-04:00

Today, I was sleeping comfortably on the bed when I heard a click sound.
I opened my eyes and what do I see? Jay with his camera pointed in my face.

I cooperated for one more shot and I am glad that he stopped as I was just about ready to kick his butt for waking me up.

When Will These Dogs Leave?

2009-07-28T10:54:00.002-04:00

Jay and Amy just got done watching the Hills' dog, Lola and I thought that I would finally have some time to myself. However, the next day, Shadow comes running in the door. He is an ok friend, but an extremely close talker. I try to growl at him, but he just does not get it. Anyway, one day, Amy was throwing the ball to Shadow and he kept chasing it through a box that was on the ground. When will he understand that life is all about laying down and sleeping...exercise sucks!!!

Lola Visit – Squirrels

2009-07-14T10:36:00.001-04:00

Jay was working from home this morning so Lola and I got to look out the front screen door. I told Lola about those pesky squirrels that are always outside the front of the house. We finally saw one and we barked like crazy to have Jay let us out. I thought that we would finally get one, but the squirrel climbed up the tree as it always does. Lola told me that she was going to climb up the tree to get it, but I think that she is silly and needs to be a bit taller.

Lola Visits Again - Bike Ride

2009-07-12T10:29:00.000-04:00

The Hills are on vacation so Jay and Amy are dog sitting Lola. This will be her longest vist of the summer and we are hoping to have a lot of fun. Tonight, we went on a bike ride. However, I do not think that Lola liked it very much. I always sit down and enjoy the ride, but she stood the entire time...I guess that she is not that used to my pampered spoiled life.

Memorial Day Weekend Get-A-Way

2009-05-25T00:20:00.002-04:00

This past weekend, Jay and Amy went away with couples from their small group for the Memorial Day weekend to a cabin in the Jim Thorpe area. I was so excited because I was actually allowed to go on this vacation with them. We arrived Friday evening and left Monday afternoon. The hardest part of the trip was trying to find a comfortable spot in the car on the drive to and from the cabin.
While we were on vacation, I got to spend time with Jay and Amy,
eat some treats,
and when Jay and Amy were not watching, I may have thrown back a few.
It was nice to go on vacation with Jay and Amy and their friends.

Duck Hunt

2009-05-10T22:56:00.002-04:00

Today while celebrating Mother's Day at Griff and Barbs house, we were visited by 2 newborn ducks that came waddling into the yard. Barb tried to chase them away, but they kept coming back. They think that the ducks got separated from their mother because she was nowhere in sight. Jay called his parents and since they have a pond and other ducks, Jay and Amy put them in a box and took them to Grump and Mee-maw’s house. Once the ducks were in the tub, I got to TRY to play with them. However, Amy and Jay kept holding me back. All I wanted to do was say hello!

Hawaiian Horror

2009-04-06T15:01:00.000-04:00

Griff and Barb were given a vacation to Hawaii from Jesse last Christmas. They went last week and had a blast. Jay and Amy went to their house tonight to see photos and videos of the trip. When we got there, Barb handed out gifts to everyone. I was hoping not to get anything because I knew that if I was to get something, it would be embarrassing.

Why can’t people understand that I like MY OWN fur coat best?

Baby's Bad Dream

2009-04-06T09:13:00.000-04:00

Yesterday I was sleeping on Jay and I was having a very bad dream. Jay and Amy have said that I make a funny noise when I dream, but I did not believe them until now. Amy and Jay say that when I am in a deep sleep, I make the noise a lot. However, this is the first time they have gotten it on film.

My Tongue Talent

2009-02-09T21:26:00.005-05:00

Today I decided that it was a good time to show Jay and Amy my special talent. Because I have an extremely long tongue, I am able to twist it to look like a curly fry. Check it out.

Christmas 2008

2008-12-25T12:00:00.000-05:00

I love Christmas and opening up my presents!

Lola's Visit

2008-11-30T11:55:00.000-05:00

I had Lola over again because Tom and Lisa were going on a weekend vacation. She and I are best friends. I like her SOOOOOO much better than that pesky dog, Shadow!

Halloween Costume

2008-03-23T11:24:00.000-04:00

Jay and Amy went away to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. The exhibit they went to see was "Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination." I got to stay at grandma and grandpa's house. I really enjoyed myself until Jay and Amy returned and said that they bought something for me while at the Franklin institute. It was my Halloween Costume.

I HATE HALLOWEEN!!!
