Friday means Pet shopping

Friday's have become special days for Gunner and Mommy. We generally go shopping for something new and pick up treats and things. Tomorrow we are going to shop a little for BilJac the dog food we have officially switched over to. Plus we need some poopy treats and more wipes Mommy keeps handy for clean ups.

Gunner has been a really good boy considering all his life changes. We are very blessed to have him. Now when he is barking as he is right now, I am wondering why I didn't get a Basenji, you know the kind of dogs that do not bark.

Hopefully once we are all moved into our forever home, he will be more settled. However, this little trooper is a real gem and I am sincerely grateful to my nephew and his bride-to-be for taking care of him for a short while when I bought him.

I know Gunner will have a playmate as soon as they get settled into their new house and we can have a big bull dog family.

Making a list now for Friday shopping...

Totally Thursday yeah...

Tonight was a good night, Mommy went out for a while and I had a sitter. As she was saying her "so longs" to me, I was sitting here waiting for her to go so I could torment the cat and the sitter. How much trouble do you think I can get into tonight???

Not the best morning

Got up really early to take Gunner to get a shampoo and nail clipping. We had a coupon from PetsMart with our puppy pack and I thought what the heck. I will just remind them no water in the ears, please do not tie him by his neck and love and kiss him.

When we got there, it was a total freak out. Gunner who proudly walks through every door he encounters would not go through the door, he literally wrapped around me and tied me up in the leash freaked out a bit. Once inside, I asked to speak to the person who was going to wash him and reluctantly a girl behind the counter said "well I guess it's going to be me"...I quickly explained no water in his ears please, and please do not tie him at the neck. She said yeah ok.  As I handed him over, I felt uneasy. It was the weirdest feeling and I slowly walked out. As we were walking to the car (Daddy 1 and I) I saw another worker coming in and asked if a manager was on, she asked what was going on, and maybe she could help.

I explained that I was nervous and that the shampoo person seemed nonchalant, she said she understood and she would look at my puppy. She said she would feel the same exact way.  I told her I was concerned about him being tied around the neck and she said that is their policy they have to neck tie them. I said that is not what I was told. Inside there was a full staff looking at me like I was crazy, and one particular woman was giving me a very dirty look. I decided my puppy was worth more than me kicking her ass all over the place. 

They brought him back to me, and as he came back to my arms there were tears from him and I both. Once in the car  he sat on my lap lovingly kissing my face and very cuddly as if to say it's ok Mommy I still love you. He snuggled up to my chest and just hugged me so tenderly. My puppy forgave me. His hugs are usually more rough.

My gut instinct is often on point and this time, I think I made the right decision. So very hard being a Mommy...

Manic Monday

This morning Daddy woke me up to take me out and play for a few... I was still sleepy and wanted to snuggle with my Mommy, but she was no where around. I'm awaiting her arrival so I can eat...It's going to be a day...

Hello Saturday - It's Derby Day!

Mommy and I are going to be glued to the tv somewhere watching the race. She had plans to go to the "track" but she is opting to stay home with me and have a little Kentucky Bourbon she says. Her bets are placed and now all that is left is to wear our fancy hats and wait for the horsey's to bring the money. Mommy say's I need new shoes...

Friday cannot get here fast enough!

It's been a rough week and I am ready for Friday. Mommy is taking me to the hair place for a little shoo poo and a little massage I am told. I hope they don't tickle me because I will weee all over them.

Hopefully when we are in our new house I can play with all the stuff my Mom keeps buying me, I can't wait to crawl in the tunnel she bought at Ikea and swim in my Gunner Da Man pool.

T.G.I.F. (Thank Goodness it's Friday and I get spoiled on Friday's)...

Take me away Wednesday...

Yeah today is Wednesday and that means Mommy takes me to the store for goodies. We have a set date every week for Mommy and Me time, we go shopping for all the things I need. Next Monday Mommy and Daddy are taking me to a conformation class. I get to see other puppies and hopefully meet new people too!
