VISITOR

Today was a busy day! Being Saturday, it started with the weekly bath @ the pet shop close to our place. Walking there is great but taking the bath is no fun for any dog ! Why do we have to do that again????

Then in the afternoon there was this cute little boy that came down to our place to play. At 1st he was a bit scared - even cried - with my sis Pipoca's barks but she did mean well, she was just asking: "what do you want to play next? " Or: "what song is that you are singing?".

Anyway, it was quite amusing when little V. decided to draw with collor pens lying down on the floor. I LOVED chasing each collor pen after it's plastic cap ( oufs! ) & the silly things kept rolling away from me !

After a while, we all got a bit tired of playing - it was quite a hot day - so when little V. sat down to watch a cartoon on the couch, I just took position by his side for a nap and he was good enough to cozily pet me ... Zzzzzzz...zz...z.................

Hope he cames back again, soon!

FEELING BETTER

Hey, I'm way better now! So better that I'm barking for food loudly & emphatically - although I've just had it... well, that's never too much food for a Beagle, you know! hehehehe

NOT FEELING WELL ...

Today very early in the Sunday morning, Cuca had a convulsion again ... fortunately dear vet was @ a phone ring reach and came for the rescue! Since I'm not being able to drive, he had to come to our place for the relief shot.

She's now asleep and hopefully, this will just pass...

FURNITURE WHY ????


Absolutely, my most beloved toys are those small collorful balls!

I can carry a new one all day long with me and even sleep in bed (well, in Celina's bed anyway... rouf, rouf!) with it too! And play "fetch" many and many and many times having loads of fun!

But sometimes, the stubborn little thing would decide to go under the furniture (why do we have those @ home, remember me?) where I can't reach it at all so what I do is BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BAR... until finally Celina would get it for me.

Gee, how many barks does it takes a human person to figure out such a simple task ?!

TIME AWAY

So me & Pipoca had to spend sometime away from home, since our Human Pet left for a quick trip to the U.S. Why is that she has to go places far away? Vacation, she says? I don't get it!...

It's not that's all bad for we were staying @ our Vet's clinic for the week and his assistant is sooooo cute and careful towards us but we still prefer to be HOME! Oufs!

We've met Celina again by the sidewalk when the Pet Shop where we took our showers delivered us and boy, WE WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE HER AGAIN! I was jumping over her and Pipoca was too and I couldn't wait to go inside the appartment again! People around us was amazed of the "welcome party" we've performed! in the middle of the street! ;0)

Back home, I was so excited that I could NOT stop myself from sniffing every inch of the place, especially Celina's luggages! I was so full of amazing diferent smells! WOW!

I could only rest on the next day, when I was rested assure that I was here TO STAY! You know, this just like they say: there's no place like home, especially for a Beagle like me! And I'm sure Pipoca feels exactly the same.

After all, where else could I find my old arm chair to sleep on??

K9 "ACCIDENT"

Friday morning. Celina was having a physical therapy session @ the living room and I was bored, because nobody was paying attention to me so I went wandering around the appartment.
Suddenly I realised there was new object on her nightstand. Being so close to the bed, the nightstand is easy for me to access... I stepped on the mattress and carefully approached this curious thing which I have never smelled before. I've forwarded my right paw very slowily so I could garantee my balance and sniffed it a bit, getting closer inch-by-inch.
Hmmm... INTERESTING!
As the new object did not react, I thought it safe to go really closer and then, fetch it in my mouth: wow! plastic! hard plastic! that's great for chewing!
Maybe Celina could actually listen to the sound of my enterprise, but she was engaged on her physical therapy so I had ALL the time to play with that new thing.
After a while, I decided to go to living room and share my play with everyone there but it was a mistake: the object was taken from me! Well, no surprise on that, I suppose.
But then, what's the problem on chewing Celina's cell phone ???

IF I DIDN'T HAVE A DOG... (e-mail)





- I could walk around the laundry area barefoot in safety.
- My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
- All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.
- When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel.
- When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there.
- I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies would need to get comfortable.
- I would have money .....and no guilt to go on a real vacation.
- I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grand kids through college.
- The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE.
- My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.
- My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash...
- I would no longer have to spell the words :
B-A-L-L,
F-R-I-S-B-E- E,
W-A-L-K,
T-R-E-A-T,
B-I-K-E,
G-O,
R-I-D-E

- I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.
- I would not look strangely at people who think having one dog/cat ties them down too much.
- I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading 'mud' season.
- I would not have to answer the question 'Why do you have so many animals?' from people who will never have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an angel as they will ever get.

How EMPTY would my life be!
