Here is the photo I entered in the contest!

Hi! Im ready for the doctor to see me now.

I sat up on the bench in the waiting room. I like to be at people height. There were several other families there. Some of them were very upset. Mom explained that there were animals there that were much sicker than me. Some of them might not make it through the night. And that I should be really good and sweet to these families since they were going through a really tough time. I was! I didn't bark and even let the families pet my ears. They seemed to like that. I put on my best sweet girl face and was very calm. That is a big step for me. I'm usually pretty hesitant with new people and animals. But these were special circumstances.

We had to wait quite a bit. Finally we got to go into a special room off the waiting room. There was a cool big table that would give me a better perspective. I asked Mom if I could go up there. She said sure and housted me up. MUCH BETTER VIEW FOR SURE!

First a nurse came in and checked something they call vitals. All I know is they stuck something up my butt! HOW RUDE?! SHEESH! Im a lady!

Then the doctor came in. She examined my tummy and said that my incision just wasnt healing right and she didnt know why. But that hopefully with antibiotics I should be OK in no time. Worst case (YIKES) they would have to go in and take out the bad tissue and sew me back up. I really hope they dont have to do that. Mom said if I didnt lick my ouchy then they wouldnt have to do the "worst case". So as tough as it is, Im not going to touch it. The doctor said that I was still allowed to do any activities I wanted (except licking).

My boo boo was already starting to look better on Sunday and it seems to have drained completely. Keep your paws crossed! In other news...

Humans are weird! Especially our humans! Sometimes I have no patience for these silly beasts. See me there in the back. Sigh...Mom is embarrassing!

Pruett agrees! He even looks concerned for their wellbeing. He asked me later if they need real help. That is yet to be determined.

But at least they make us laugh!

Humans get their choice of so many things. All shapes and sizes and colors. We get what they decide to give us. Well today the humans bought a big box of goodies for them that looked interesting. They made a lot of noise in the box. They call them "Sweetarts" - kind of like me. Hehehehe.

I checked out the box. Seemed like something I might like but I have never had candy so I wasnt sure. I gave Mom and Dad my googly sweet eyes, flirted a little so that maybe I could convince them to let me try one. It worked! I got one little sweet deliciously tart unforgettable mouthwatering piece of candy. I wanted more but they said, "NO". That it would rot my teeth! How unfair?! How come the humans dont care if their teeth rot? They kept eating them! Im going to live a lot shorter time then them - I dont need these teeth as long as you need yours. PULLLLEEEEEAAAASSSSSSEEEEE! JUST ONE MORE! The rest of the night I flirted desperately for more candy but to no avail. Sigh...

Since we couldnt have any more candy, Pruett and I decided to torture the kitteh with the cootehs.

It looks to me like Spring is here. The temperature is rising each day. We have even had some days in the 80s! OMD! I am not sure if we will survive this heat and it isnt even summer yet!

Check out my goofy brother. Hardly into a game of fetch and his tongue is already a mile long! How embarrasing - he just lets it all hang out! BOYZ! So unrefined!

Look! He has is own slobber all over his face! SHEESH!

And now he is picking his nose! PRUETT! EW! (You can click the pic to get a biggy of the pick.)

I am a proper lady. I dont go waving my slobbery, grass gooped tongue around like an uncivilized K-9!

Well maybe sometimes my tongue is out - but it isnt uncivlized. It is quite a refined, ladylike tongue. You dont see any gross slobber mouth here!

Look how big my brother is getting! I hate to admit it but he sure is strong. For a long time we were pretty evenly matched but now he can run me down and knock me over - he is a little TANK! A SHEPTANK!

Oh well, I would rather be a delicate flower of a lady. At least I am faster and corner better. HA! Got that on ya buddeh! And check out my coat - it is coming in wavy and longer like my brother's.

Have a great day everyone! Mom and Dad said we have new humans coming to visit this weekend so not sure how much we will get to post but should have some interesting stories. Hope they like us!

SEEEE! This is the table!

Here he is with our package!

I asked Dad if we could go outside. Everyone seemed all into cleaning and organizing this weekend. I though maybe we should get some fresh air...

and play some ball.

But then the ball jumped over the fence. And we couldnt play anymore. Dad said we needed to do some clean up in the back yard and he went for the SHOVEL!

Daphne was worried. Even a little panicked! The shovel means the poop gets picked up and taken from her private poop buffet. OH NOES! She begged that I must do something.

She implored - PLEASE DONT TAKE AWAY MY POOP BUFFET! But Mom and Dad didnt listen.

YIKES! He is really going to do it. I better take action.

At first I thought maybe I could eat the shovel. That didnt work out well. It was pretty tough.

I put my paw down. Dad - think about this. Isnt there a compromise? Dont make me take drastic measures. Im warning you!

He pulled that shovel right out from under me. Drastic times. Drastic measures.

SEEE! Drastic!

We went over to some visit some of our Mom and Dads people friends for something they call a BBQ. Not sure quite what that is but it smelled delicious. There were two dogs there as well as a miniature human. We want to apologize in advance for the poor quality of the pics. It was pretty dark out. The humans like to stay up late.

Phoebe didnt really want to play. She is older and more mature than us. Tucker is only a bit older than we are. So he was up for goofing around.

There was a big puddle in the backyard. How weird is that? We thought we would check it out. This was our first time seeing a puddle this big. Tucker thought he would check out my butt. BOYZ!

There was a big table stretching out into the puddle. We thought we would check it out. Tucker thought it would be funny to try to push me off the table.

Dad kept throwing sticks into the water and acted like he wanted us to go after them. But we didnt know how deep that water was. Why would we just jump in? Plus they were punny boring sticks. Maybe if he would have made it worth our while we would have been a little braver.

Dad and Mom decided they would just see what would happen if they forced us to go for a swim. DUH! What do you think happens? We paddle our feet and swim to shore. Silly humans! That is Pruett in the water making the splashes right in front of Tucker's head. Sorry the picture didnt turn out better. It was pretty funny!

I tried to sneak off to avoid Pruetts water dog fate...

...no such luck.

She watched how we played in our yard from up on the hill in her yard. Look how tiny she is! More to come later this weekend on what is going on with that shovel.

Mom and Dad said hello first.

She came over and checked me out. I was trying to contain my excitement but I couldnt help myself and started barking. I was just trying to say hello.

Dont be scared little pup. Youll be big like me one day. Lets play!

I started barking again and tried a little play bow. I think I scared her! LOL! She toppled over!

No need to worry. This girl sprang right back up!

She knows a lot of manners already. And she has obviously been practicing her "give me whatever I ask for because Im just a sweet little innocent puppy" face.

She is really good at sit.

And even knows shake!

We werent sure what this trick was - but it was cute - so we thought we would share.

Grow up fast!

So you can come over and PLAY!
