So Embarrassing!

Momma thinks she's hilarious, pals.  She says I'm the worst on Halloween cause I bark like a nutball.

This is me, barking my head off.  Momma says there was no one even out there yet, but I knew they were coming!!

Then Daddy had a great idea.  Well, HE thought it was great.  He got my hot dog costume out and made me wear it!!  And guess what?  I STOPPED BARKING!

Hmph.  Not funny, guys.  Not funny at all.

Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone is having a Happy Halloween, pals!  The tricks and treats have already started here, and I'm barking like a mad puppy already BOL!  Daddy keeps yelling at me, but I can't help myself!

Momma didn't make me dress up this year, so she's gonna post some pictures of my old costumes!

This was my very first costume!  May the Fizz be with you!

I don't like things on my head, so I wouldn't look at Momma.  She said I'm her little devil.

One year I was a pirate!  Arrrrrgh mateys!

And then there was the year I was a hot dog.

A very ANGRY hot dog.

Help!  A shark is trying to eat me!!

I sure like seeing my pals in their costumes, too!  So if you have pictures, lemmee see em!

Attack of the Killer Birds!!!

You're never going to believe what just happened, pals!!  A BIRD flew in through the front door and was flying around my house!!!!  Momma was SCREAMING and Daddy was SHOUTING and I was BARKING!  Momma said it was mad chaos up in here!  BOL!!

Weird things happen all the time with wild animals around here.  Momma says it's like National Geographic.  Or the animals must think she's Snow White.

A few years ago, Momma was upstairs in her craft room making some sort of crafty fun time project.  Keep in mind, pals, when I say upstairs, I mean the second floor of our house.  She heard a scratching sound and something moved, so she looked out the window and saw THIS!

Do you SEE that?!?!  That's a SQUIRREL!!  Outside the window on the second floor!!!  He was scratching at the window trying to get in!

Momma knocked on the window to shoo it away, and he showed her his butt.  Cheeky little guy, no?

I was barking and barking and barking and she was screaming and screaming and screaming.  He ran away, but we have NO idea how he got up there!!!

This summer, Momma had LOTS of trouble with rabbits.  She calls them a bad word that I'm not allowed to repeat, but she says I can tell you that it's a naughty word for your bumhole.

First they chewed through her fencing that's supposed to keep them out.  Oh the SWEARS, pals...makes a pup blush!

Then one day, Momma had the garage door open and a baby bunny tried to move in!

He tried to move in behind some dirt and planters.  Momma tried to shoo him away, and he ran into the back of the garage and settled in by our Christmas tree!!  Momma never found him, but she left the door open for a few hours, so he must have decided the rent was too high and moved out.

 

And THEN, last winter, this weird looking bird was living in our awning in the front of our house!  he would dive at Momma and Daddy's heads when they tried to leave the house.  Momma tried to shoo him away, but he musta liked our house cause he kept coming back.

Momma posted this picture on the Book of Faces, and she says people thought it was a ferret or a badger.  She says the conversation that came with this picture was one of the funniest things she's ever read!

Here's a better picture.  See?  Just a bird!

Momma insists that she isn't Snow White, and she doesn't want all these wild animals in her house.  Never a dull moment around here, pals!

Sorry, Pals!

Zoe reminded me that I haven't given any Pap pap updates, pals.  I sure am sorry.  Momma says the first week of school with the kids is always crazy, and then she was over at Grammy and Pap Pap's house a lot last week, too!

Anyhow, Pap Pap is at home now.  The doctor says he's doing really well, even though Pap Pap has been super grumpy.  Momma says he's a crabby patty cause he can't eat a lot of salt.  Or cholesterol. Or carbs.  He has to eat like a rabbit and he doesn't like it!  BOL!  Momma keeps telling Grammy that he'll adapt, but Grammy says he's really getting on her nerves.  So that's why Momma keeps going over to their house.  She doesn't want them to kill each other BOL!!

Momma's kids are really awesome this year, and she's already in the kitchen making weird goopy smelly things for the kids to play with.  I'm trying to keep an eye on her, pals, but YOU know what she's like.  Wish me luck.

Sniff Sniff...

Momma and Daddy go back to work FOREVER tomorrow, pals!!!  *sniff*  I don't like this time of year.  I love having Momma and Daddy home with me.  *sniff*  Don't leave me Momma!!!!  *sniff*

In other news, Pap Pap is still in the hospital.  He was supposed to come home today, but his heart still isn't working all the way yet, so they want to put this vest thing on him that will make his heart work if it stops.  It's called a fibrillation something something something...(sorry, pups, Momma's not so good with the medical stuff BOL!)  Anyhow, eventually they'll put one under his skin, but since he just had major surgery they can't do it yet.  So they have to wait until tomorrow to get the vest thing, and maybe THEN he can come home!

And if all this news wasn't bad enough, Momma got out the VACUUM yesterday!  And then, it wasn't working right, so she had to use the hose thing to suck up stuff, and it was on FOREVER.  AND EVER.

I am not having a very good weekend, pals.

Tee Hee!

Wonderful news, pals!  Momma went to see Pap Pap in the hospital today, and she said he looks really really good, considering he just had his heart all fixed up!  Pap Pap said he's really sore (well...that's not how he put it, but Momma says this is a family friendly blog, so we'll keep it G rated BOL) and that it hurts to talk and breathe, but he looked really good and he was sitting up in a chair and everything!  For hours!  Hooray!

In other news, Momma knows most of you pups aren't on the Book of Faces.  But you may have heard about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  If you haven't, go Google it.  Anyhow, Momma was nominated to do it by one of her human pals, so she did it.  Here's the video:

Momma then chose to donate monies to the ALS place (ALS Website).  She didn't know NOTHING about ALS before this all started.  She nominates any human here who wants to do it, even if you can't donate paper monies, and post it on your blog to spread the word!

For those of you who don't think the challenge is doing any good, read this! Ice Bucket Donations Surpass $10 Million to The ALS Association

Hooray!

Here's a note from Momma about Pap Pap, pals!

"Dad's surgery was a success! He had a triple bypass, one valve replaced, a leaky valve repaired, and a hole in his heart closed. He will be in the cardiac ICU most likely until Wednesday, then he'll be moved to the cardiac floor. Thanks for everyone's prayers and well wishes. He's got a long recovery ahead of him, but the scary part is over!"

Whew! Thank goodness THAT'S over!!  I musta peeled Momma off the ceiling elebenty billion times last night!  Grammy even drank a BEER last night!  Grammy never ever EVER drinks ANY alcohol!!!
