Happy New Year!

Happy New Year every pup and peepoles!

I have been having a great Christmas.  Santa Paws was here and I got treats and toys.  It has been real nice being home with Mommy.  

Our oven quit working so it was the perfect excuse for Mommy to buy all new kitchen appliances at the Boxing Day sales.  She wanted new appliances and could not see spending money to repair the stove.  She said she saved over $1000.00 over the regular prices for the stove, fridge and dish washer.  The whole thing is boring but it made for some real good barking and supervising.  One day the handyman guy came and disconneected the dish washer.  The next day some guys came and removed all three appliances and brought the new ones.  Mommy said she donated the old ones to a church who was looking for appliances. She doesn't think it will cost much to repair the stove.  Then today the handyman guy was back and connected the dish washer.  My kitchen is now back to normal.

Tomorrow I am in for more fun because we are taking down our tree and other ornaments.  See you next year Christmas tree!  Our tree lives in the basement in a box all year and is only upstairs for the month of December.

We still don't have snow although it just recently got colder.  Tonight it is going to -8 C or 17.6 F.  Tomorrow is a high of -2 C or 28.4 F and a low of -5C or 23F.

Christmas Eve Barking

I hope all you pups are ready for Christmas.  We are ready with the tree up, presents bought and wrapped and all the yummies in the house.  It looks like we are going to have a green Christmas this year.  Mommy and I have never experienced a green Christmas so this will be new to us.  Here is a picture of me in my backyard taken today:

As you can see no snow.  If you look on the right side you will see the fencing Mommy put up to keep me in a small section for the winter.

Here is a picture of me looking out on my Kingdom from my deck.  I would not look at Mommy today while she was taking pictures and it drove her crazy!  BOL!

On another subject, here is a picture of our Niece taken a couple of years ago with her pup:

She is 24 years old and a nurse.  We are all real proud of her.

Here is a picture of her boyfriends dog.  He is 180 lbs and is a big goofy Beethoven pup.

I had lots of fun this week supervising the handyman guy installing our TV in the kitchen.  Then the next day the cable guy came which was lots of fun.  Mommy is not real techy but she managed to get the blue ray player installed and the Netflex working.  Now she says she has to figure out what to do with all the wires.  Here is our kitchen TV:(see the wire mess)

Wishing every pup a Happy and safe Christmas!

Miscellaneous Barking

I started this entry on Sunday but my lazy typist did not finish it.  This is what I barked on Sunday:

I do tend to snore when I sleep. It is because of my little pushed in nose.  Normally the snoring isn't bad but last night I really snored loud.  I snored so loud that I woke Mommy up at 1:30 am.  Mommy was in a sound sleep and at first she couldn't figure out where the noise came from.  I was curled up with Mommy so she woke me up and said not to snore.  As if I have any control in it!  Sorry Mommy.

You may know how I hate sucky machines. Well, yesterday showed promise with our sucky machine not sounding very good.  Mommy thinks we might have to get a new one.  I say we don't need one but Mommy says we do.  We need a machine for hardwood, ceramic tile, vinyl and carpet on the main floor and laminate in the basement.  Mommy is making me ask this question, what kind of sucky machine do your peepoles like?  Please say they don't like sucky machines.

Now for Wednesday:

Mommy came home from work and said she is not going back to work until January!  Our Christmas holidays have begun!  (Jelly does a happy dance)

Tomorrow should be interesting as the handy guy is coming over.  Mommy wants him to install a TV on the kitchen wall.  Yep, you heard me right.  Mommy said she can cook and watch TV or we can sit at the kitchen table and watch TV.  I see lots of barking and supervising in my future.  That now makes three TVs in our house for me and Mommy.

Poochie Bells and Christmas Tree

My pal Zaidie barked about his poochie bells.  I wanted to show all you pups my poochie bells.  I ring them when I have to go outside potty.  Mommy ignored the bells a couple of times and she ended up having to clean up some potty off the floor so now she always comes running.  You just have to train your peepoles and it works great.  Here are my poochie bells:

My Mommy is real lazy when it comes to our Christmas tree.  Our tree is a fake :0 !  It is one piece and four feet tall.  Mommy just has to put it in the base and plug it in since it has built in lights.  She adds a few decorations and some garland and instant tree in about 20 minutes.  Here is our tree:

You can see my chaise lounge just to the left with my big doggie pillow that is as big as me.  It is nice snuggling in my pillow on the chaise lounge by the tree.

Snow

Oh my dog, did we ever get a bunch of snow.  We had to have got 25 to 30 cm of snow.  It snowed and snowed all day Wednesday.  Mommy stayed home and worked from home.  She sat at the dining room table with her lap top, papers all over, her cell phone and our home phone. From where she sat she could look out the living room windows and the dining room windows. The phones were ringing and Mommy was talking.  There was one point where she was talking on both phones at the same time. Yap, yap,yap, yap......  It was boring talking but kind of funny to watch.  This is exactly what I see Mommy do at work. It was nice having Mommy at home.  Every time I wanted to go potty Mommy went out and shovelled an area for me.  The snow clearing guy came about 5 pm and cleared the driveway.  It has snowed lots since then so Mommy is hoping he will be back before she has to go to work in the morning.i like snow days when Mommy stays home.

Sold

Sold!  That is our house in Winnipeg is sold.  We moved out of there almost five years ago and have had three different tenants in the house.  Mommy decided it was too many problems being a landlord so when the most recent tenants decided they had to move Mommy decided to sell the house.  It sold fast going in four weeks.  The new Peepoles wanted to move in quickly so the empty house appealed to them and they are taking it over December 30th.  It is kind of sad that I will never get to play in that backyard again.  Oh well, Mommy said I have to focus on the nice yard I have in Kingston.  Mommy will be happier not to have to worry about that Winnipeg house that is millions and millions of miles away. You know what they say, a happy Mommy makes for a happy pup.

Embarrassing

It was absolutely embarrassing yesterday.  I will explain.  Mommy put me outside in the dark to go potty before I went to bed.  I have barked how she set up some exercise pen type panels to keep me in a smaller section of the yard for the winter.  I was outside minding my own business looking for that perfect potty place when I saw a white rabbit on the other side of the pen.  I went running at the rabbit and ran face first right into the pen.  It was dark and in my excitement I forgot the pen was there. I shook my head and came into the house. Once Mommy realized that I was fine she was laughing at me!  Yea, it is real funny to see your little pup run face first into the fence!  She is even laughing as she types this.  Bad Mommy!
