A Dog of a Day

Hello. My mistress thought it would be fun for me to write a blog about my day, from beginning to end. This is a typical day for me...

I start the day off with a breakfast of a small bowl of kibble. I never think it is enough, but mistress always says, "I don't want you getting fat!" As if!

Next, I like to check my pee-mail on our morning walk.

It is very important to pay respect to the neighborhood fire hydrants. All dogs know this!

If I am lucky, we stop off at Oma's house on our walk. I put on my best "Aren't I a cute dog - don't I deserve a treat?" - look.I wait by the door - I know that is where she keeps the treats!

Score! (Note the cute face described above)

Sometimes my mistress leaves the house for a few hours. I sit and wait for her by my window. I have the perfect view of the front of the house, so I can see her right when she pull in with her van.
Also, someone has to guard the house while my pack is away!

While I wait for her, I clean myself up a bit.

Or, I can hang out here and there...

When mistress finally comes home, if I am lucky, she will play with me! I think she likes to do that, even though I sometimes hear her mutter, "I thought the kids were supposed to do this!"

I love to play tug-of-war!

I am an excellent jumper and fetcher.



At some point in the day, the rest of the pack comes home. I am usually the first one they greet...always happy to see me!

Time to put on my cute face again! Sometimes a "high five" works well for getting a treat, too...

Ahhhhhh, now it is time for a little nap, while my mistress tends to the others. Sometimes she sneaks in a ear scratch, when she has a moment. Life is good!


Later in the afternoon, my mistress starts to prepare the dinner for her family. Of course, I am right there with her, giving her my cute face...sometimes I get really yummy tid-bits here - other times she shoooshes me away. But really, could your resist this face?




I do a night watch by my window, while everyone is getting ready for bed...

I used to sleep in a crate at night, in the kitchen, but I proved to be such a good girl that mistress lets me sleep on this pink bed, next to her's. She sometimes complains that now she has two snorers in the room!

Tomorrow, I do it all over again! Not bad for a dog's life...
