My puppy looks like he is ready for take off...

Today we had errands to run and people to help, so Gunner's play date was canceled. I am not happy I canceled on him, but things happen. Today while playing with him, I snapped this photo and I believe it's time to re-glue his ears. He has developed airplane ears... Not what I am happy about at all.

On a funnier note, baby Gunner has decided he needs to be rocked at night to go to sleep. Problem is, he doesn't weigh 10 pounds anymore, he is quite the BIG boy, and he only fits on half my lap...

Keeping a puppy on schedule.

Keeping Gunner on schedule is hard because at this time in our lives we are trying to buy a new house, travel and do some commitment things we have had planned for a long time. Keeping him on a schedule was very hard and last night proved we have to stop the buses and get back to business.

Gunner has a schedule of his own. He gets up in the 630-715 hour range. Goes out potty and comes back in to start his day.  At 730-745 he eats his breakfast and then plays a little.  He will start the potty break cycle at about 830 or so.

After that he is a sleeping dog until about 1030 or so. He will go back outside and then back to sleep for him. This cycle continues through the day and guess what? He doesn't sleep at night.

At around 300 pm he gets fed again, I know I should stretch it out to 4 pm and I will start doing that today, but it's hard when the other animals are getting fed at 300 pm and he isn't.

We have to schedule in early evening play time and socialization with him because our up all night is not working for me. His bedtime is being readjusted to 11 pm and hopefully we will get back on track.

Let's hope the round mound gets back on track. Mommy needs to sleep more than 1 hour at night...

Home from vacation and Gunner is not sure about me

During my extended trip Gunner was with the sitter who didn't keep him on a schedule and pretty much babied the tar out of him. He on the other hand would disagree.

So I have my work cut out for me, but not today I am going to kiss him and hug him and then tomorrow we will work on going back to a schedule.

It's good to be home!

The humans went to the Dog show without me!

Dear Dog Diary:

The humans in the house went to the dog show today wiff out me. They got up really early, I sort of helped them out with that, since I started barking at 530 AM (sniff sniff)... So I hear dem yapping and saying I couldn't go since I am not registered for this show, but in a couple of months we will be taking the big rig and hitting the shows.

If taking the big rig means I have to ride shotgun, there is gonna be trouble. I don't like riding back there wiff the luggage or sumptin...I'm the Prince, shouldn't I get top riding spot?

Mommy did buy me some cool things at the show, but I heard her yapping about my training classes and me having to walk a ramp. NOW wait a minute, no one said nuffin bout no ramp or me going to classes.

Mommy did tell me that my 4 legged Daddy is now a Champion! Woot!! I am sending him a present...speaking of presents...On second look of da things my Mommy bought, it looks like those nasty ropes she uses and a gold chain. Wait a second, I am not MR T!

Back to napping this is too much for me.

This is the sleepingest puppy I have ever seen

Gunner is the sleepiest puppy still at almost 5 months old. He brings the toys in his crate, flips his bed over to the rough side and scooches in and goes to sleep... What a awesome puppy and the joy, love and affection he gives.!

Wonderful Wednesday we went Shopping ....

We went for our weekly shopping trip and let's just say Gunner was a bit demanding. At one point I think I heard him say, "fill this up with toys and no one gets hurt"... I could have imagined it, but I don't think so.

Once inside the PetsMart, he was a star. People stopped and  petted and played with him, which already swelled his big head anyway.

We picked up a new collar and leash, a few toys to chomp around on, and some nom nom treats (BilJack) overall it was a very productive day. Life as Gunner isn't too bad!

Tuckered out Tuesday...

Gunner and Mommy are staying in today doing some much needed catching up on emails, phone calls and bill paying. However, we will sneak in a little cuddle time and online shopping. Gunner needs a few new things...

Happy Tuesday ... join us virtually for Yappy Hour drinks at 8:00 p.m.
