Tiny Tuna! And ACK Fireworks!!

Did all my pals survive the fireworks yesterday?  I did.  But barely.  I spent most of my night crammed behind the couch.  Momma said she didn't even know I could fit back there BOL!

In other news, I got to meet my new cousin, Tuna!  He's awfully small...and cute.  And VERY playful.  Momma had to hold me back a few times cause I was getting a little too rough with him, but we were having fun, chasing and barking at each other!

"What is this thing?"

*sniff sniff* "It smells like a dog."

"Natalie, is that a dog?"

*sniff sniff* "It's a dog!"

"Hey!  That's MY lambie doll!!  Well, ok...I guess you can play with him..."

"I sniff you, and you sniff me.  OK, we can be friends!"

"Tuna doesn't know how to sit still for pictures just yet.  I have a lot to teach him."

This was a few days ago, but I got to see him again today at Grammy's house cause Monday is Momma's 37472467328687 birthday and the family all got together to play and sing and give out the presents.  He was SUPER playful today and kept puppy bowing at me and barking and trying to play.  I tried to tell him to calm down a little bit, but he's still a puppy, so he didn't listen.  He just barked himself to sleep.  Momma says she wishes I would go to sleep instead of barking.  Hmph.  And woof.

OOOOOOOPS!!!

Momma here...I totally forgot today is Fizzy's Gotcha Day!!  I lose track of time so easily during the summer and I didn't even realize it's July already!!  MJF made Fizzy a special picture and everything! (Thanks for reminding me, MJF!  I'm a horrible Momma!)

Happy Gotcha Day, Fizzbutt!  I love you bunches and bunches and bunches!!!

Here's his questions and my answers!

1. Whats your Nickname?  Oh boy, I've got tons of nicknames BOL!  The Fizzinator, Fashizzle, Fizzbutt, Pooh, Pooh Fry, Poohy, Puffball, Puffy, Puffaletta, Fuzzy, Frizzy...seriously, pals, I could go on and on...
2. Do you like your furblings if you have any? I don't have any, but I've got cousins that I love!  Tuna is my newest cousin, he's great!  Me and Winnie don't get along very well, she's afraid of me.  Thumper is kinda my Uncle, but I'm older than him.  We play a LOT.  I met Lycan (a German Shepherd) one time when he was a puppy.  I owned him.  But Momma says he's a lot bigger now and I'd probably be scared.  Hmph.
3. What do you do when the phone rings?  Nothing...but when the doorbell rings LOOK OUT!!
4. Do you evfur howl? No, I mostly just bark. And bark. And bark.  WOOF!
5. Do you dream?  I was dreaming just last night!  My bag legs were kicking and I was whimpering.  Momma and Daddy think I was dreaming about chasing the evil bunnies that live in our yard!  BOL!
6. Who is your fave unfur in your furmily, your Mom, your Dad, or an unfurbling?( or someone else?) I'm more of a Momma's boy, but Natalie (my Momma's niece) is my BFF and F and F and F!
7. Did you evfur get in trouble using your teeth?  I used to a LOT when I was a young pup.  I would chew up Momma's books and flip flops like it was my job!  And I used to bite Daddy so much he had to put apple bitter spray on his hands to make me stop!  I'm a big boy now, I rarely use my teeth except to eat!
8. Where is your fave place to go to visit?  Oh boy I LOVE to visit!  I like visiting both Grammy's houses for different reasons!  Grammy Hunter has Thumper, so I like to go there and play!  And Grammy DeLuca has a HUGE back yard that gets all kinds of critters in it and makes for some good sniffing!  Plus Pap Pap D gives the best ear rubs!
9. Are you allowed to run free anywhere?  No...Momma says I have an "impulse control problem" and I would run off without a thought.  I used to be able to run in the backyard, but Daddy busted one of the fences and now there's a big hole there.
10. Do you sleep curled up in a ball, or stretched out?  When I'm at the top of the bed I curl into a schnauzer ball.  When I sleep at the foot of the bed I stretch out!

I would love it if ANY of my pals would answer my questions, cause I nominate ALL of you BOL!!

I Got A New Cousin!!

Guess what, pals?!  My Auntie Donna got a new pup!  His name is Tuna, and he's a chihuahua and dachsund mix.  Auntie says he's a chaweenie.  BOL!  Anywoof, look how cute he is!

Here he is with my best good friend, Natalie.  I'm a little jealous.

 

And here he is with my other cousin, Winnie!  He's so teeny tiny, but Auntie says they love each other already!

I haven't met him yet, but Momma says I'll probably be afraid of him cause I don't like dogs smaller than me.  I'm not AFRAID, Momma.  I just can't be bothered with teeny pups!

Maybe now Auntie will stop trying to dognap me by putting me in her purse!

AROOOOOO!

One more wake-up, pals!!  That's what Momma told me when she came home from school today!  You know what that means?!  TOMORROW IS MOMMA AND DADDY'S LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!  OH BOY!

We're gonna snuggle and love and play chase and play with my squirrel and moose and stay up late reading and sleep in and OH I LOVE SUMMER!!!

Shhhhhhh!!!!

Momma's been having a heck of a time with one of her kids at school, pals.  Today, she got head butted so hard in the face that she had to go see a dogtor in case she had a concussion!!!  She has a mild one, and the dogtor said she'll most likely have a black eye tomorrow!

Poor Momma...she came home and snuggled with me and I kissed her boo boo.  I'm a good nurse like that.  And I even let her hug me!  That's how nice I am when Momma's upset.  I don't like hugs, but for Momma, I'll let it happen.

Holy Cow!

I haven't written in over a month, pals!  I sure am sorry.  See, it's that time of year when the school year is almost over, and Momma and Daddy are SO TIRED.  It's all Momma can do to get out of bed and get dressed most days, and by the time she gets home she's so exhausted she can barely keep her eyes open.  She's got some real tough kids this year, and one of them is a scratcher, and Momma has bunches of scars all over her hands now.  She comes home and I lick her scratches and snuggle with her, and she says it makes her feel better.  I'm a good nurse.

It's also garden time, so on the weekends Momma is spending a lot of time getting her plants in.  She didn't even have the garden in for a full day before the bunnies got in there and ate some stuff!  Oh pals, the SWEARS coming out of Momma's mouth!!  She made me blush!  Everything is all fenced off now, but she did lose a few cucumber plants already.  She said it's ok, it's still early enough to go buy a few more.  I got to run around and leave my scent everywhere, but the bunnies still came.  Momma says they're evil.  Daddy says Momma's mean cause the bunnies will starve now.  Then she said something not nice that I won't repeat here cause this is a family friendly blog.  BOL!!

Hope all my pals are doing good!
