Remembering

Well let me tell you about the snow that fell .. you know I love the stuff but yesterday it was so high I was overcome at times.. I couldn't see the wind was high and these eyes aren't what they used to be.. cataracts and all.. however we managed to get out there for a walk.. Hov was his crazed self and I plugged along.. She said maybe a sled would be a good idea for me.. I thought with Hov pulling.. interesting.. maybe next year when he's grown I'll give him the pleasure.. We got back took off our coats and settled in .. I took the couch.. he well was doin the basset 500 again.. I wish I had his energy.. Today we are doin lights.. I like that it makes it all pretty in here.. Oh geeezzz I'm showin my feminine side.. time to nap..

Hmmm lets see .. last night Hov got into trouble he tore apart a bag of garbage she left by the door .. big mistakeeee.. she went out to clean off the car and left us asleep inside.. well within minutes he was awake.. she couldn't hear him arrooo 'ing inside she had her funny hat on.. so he decided okay I'm going to tear something.. yup the bag of garbage was his victim.. luckily it wasn't kitchen garbage.. but bedroom.. washroom and computer room stuff.. as well a few odd pieces.. it was everywhere.. I was shaking my head.. it was around 10:00 pm. and she'd see this now.. Yikes.. he would be in big dodo now I thought.. well 10 minutes later she came in.. OHHHHHHHHHHH Hoovyyyyyyyy.. you beast... she said.. in the mean time we were waggin our tails arrrooooing her for leavin us.. she laughed and hugged us as usual.. I tell ya this sucker gets away with everything.. it really p's me off..

We all turned in around 12 and he took my spot.. Oh I hope Santa's watchin and he gets coal..

Last night was a hoot.. the Hov was carrying around her boots .. and shaking them.. I tell you what he had us both laughin.. well me ( aarrooo'ing ) I don't know about this boy.. iffin he's not sniffin my bum.. he's tearin paper.. or carrying her boots all over.. I think he needs help.. but she thinks its all funny.. she does try to stop him sniffin me though.. I hear Hoover.. half the time I'm asleep when he's in there.. I don't know what the attraction is he has for my butt.. sure is odd.. Oh well I'm tired.. think I'll go over to the couch.. and catch a few more zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Stay tuned

Well yesterday afternoon her brother " the tease " showed up.. he's a tall guy around 6' 240 .. Hov took one look at him and was barking his fool head off.. and the games began.. he loves dogs so he was delighted.. we kept saying to Hov.. " don't you eyeball me " and stare at him.. well Hov thought yikes and would run.. a second later he'd be back waggin his tail.. this went on for what felt like hours.. they sat in the kitchen.. she made him some lunch.. soup and a chopped egg sandwich.. and coffee.. after all he had braved the storm to come see us.. Anyway they talked about family nonsense like usual.. then he explained how he lost his job.. time passed Hov kept his eye on Pete.. I went and crashed.. it was no biggy for me to see him.. Well our supper time came.. she hustled around feeding us and the cats.. then she said.. hey wanna come with me while I walk these two comedians.. I thought hay who you callin comedian.. I'm good.. so he said sure.. we all bundled up and headed out in the storm.. he too the nutbar.. I stayed with Mom.. we went it was fun.. Hov was dragging Pete back and forth.. I thought his arm was going to fall off.. switching hands.. the leash wrapped around his feet.. its 22 feet long.. mine is only 16.. and thats enough for me.. I stay close to Mom in a storm.. So we got back she made them supper.. he parked his bum on the living room.. put a TV table in front of himself.. and she got it ready in about 20 minutes.. while she did that.. he was teasin Hov.. hiding behind the lazy boy and poppin out if Hov dared to come.. it was quite a sight.. he's such a big guy to see down on all fours.. supper was served.. Hov parked himself right beside Pete.. face on his shoulder sheech they shared a piece of meat.. Pete's gross.. Well it was all done.. they had tea.. then chatted some more.. it was getting on to 9:00 he said well I really enjoyed myself sis.. but I got to head home.. with that he put on his coat.. boots and left.. Hov crashed.. as did I.. she went into the computer room to check in here..

It was a pretty quiet night here.. she got a phone call and then another then another.. she seemed sad all of a sudden.. her sister had told her that.. Pete's ex-wife's new hubby of 2 years had been diagnosed with brain cancer and wasn't expected to live much longer.. he saw his doctor 2 weeks back as he was having horrible headaches.. not something he normally suffered from.. well a scan later and he was given the news.. after her sister told her that her demeaner changed.. then her brother Jim called.. they were on for a couple of hours.. seemed they were talking about car pooling for a funeral.. I then was sad.. this is her favorite time of year and this happens.. Pete's ex is a great person.. she had seen a Christmas card the last time she visited her Dad.. it said.. Hi Dad.. and apologized that she had been remiss with calling him.. and that they had an illness in the family.. little did he know.. just as well though.. Anyways she really likes and respects this sister in law.. and feels real bad about this turn of events.. she had just married him 3 years ago.. after finding this gem of a guy at a "Run for Cancer" event ( where she was running in honor of her sisters breast cancer survival ) she still stayes in touch with us.. and came down for My Mom's funeral +++ her and her brother were married 25 years before he screwed things up.. sad real sad

Oh gosh I'm getting sad now.. going to take a nap and dream about better times..

Well this kicked her I'm just her confidant.. Again pretty quiet here.. she put up more christmas lights in the windows.. took us to the dog run.. its about 10 miles from here.. we stopped in at the pet food store.. and she was allowed to bring us in.. I got lots of attention.. love it.. then we left.. drove home.. She got another call from her brother they talked again for an hour or so.. she was askin if he had a big stock pot she might borrow.. but he didn't.. Then I heard her saying she'd be in town doing christmas baskets again.. guess that means we are here again.. wonder what trouble Hov will get into.. yesterday he pulled the stuffing out of his dog toy.. she's gonna sew it closed today.. she laughed because he always pulls the eyes out of his toys.. guess he doesn't like anything eyeballin him.. Silly guy..

Well yesterday was an interesting day.. She left us again to go do food baskets for some strange folks.. well all was well for a while.. Then Hoover got restless as usual and started looking for trouble.. which he always can find.. he spyed 4 new snowmen ornaments still in their packaging on the lamp table.. you you guessed it.. he took um.. tore off the bags and chewed the snowflakes off them.. they still look okay.. but I was interested to see what she'd do on her return.. maybe even pack his bags and toys this time as these snowmen are a tradition she keeps.. every year she adds to the ornament collection new snowmen and ladies.. which I might add isn't easy because most snowmen are girls.. she says.. Anyways hours pass she gets home .. carring a bag of stuff she doesn't notice right away.. and makes her way into the kitchen.. Hov almost trips her .. she greets us.. gives us a treat or two and goes back to take off her silly hat and jacket.. and then I hear.. Hoooverrrrrrrrrrr.. you beast.. he continues with his treats.. think the boy is starting to recognize.. that if she doesn't cally him HoovyDoovy.. she means business.. so she comes out with the ornaments and wrapping in hand.. shaking her head she says to me.. " look what he did " I though.. "well get him " naw she just threw the wrapping in the garbage.. inspected the damage.. smiled and said "well they are not bad considering.. its his first Christmas ' and that was that..

She made herself a tea and went to play on that computer thingee.. we jumped on the couch and napped knowing she was home and we were safe..


But yesterday she was ready to hang Hoovy the nut.. she was decorating the tree.. Oh my gosh he was a pest extraordinaire.. he was stealing her soft snowmen.. grabbing her shoes from the room on the bed she's go there he'd run like he** into the living room.. grab an ornament.. and play this game of "catch me Mom" well he tired me out with all that so I just watched.. she was back and forth like crazy.. he was pulling the lights.. wanting to chew them.. I think she says its like having a toddler.. well the tree got done.. Her friends showed up to bring her a huge stock pot.. Hov was barkin although he just saw them at the Festival of Lights.. short memory that boy.. well she was trying to talk with her friend in the kitchen.. yup you guessed it.. Hoover was grabbin her boot.. the ornaments.. his bones.. everything to drive her nuts.. her friend and her laughed at his antics.. Yup he's a real comedian I thought.. Ham is more like it.. Anyways they visited a while.. and complimented her on the tree.. wished her a Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday and left.. We all just sat for a bit looking at the tree..

She feel asleep on the couch with me on her and Hoover on the lazy boy.. Mmmmmmmmm it was warm

Well he came again ( Pete ) and Hov was barking at him .. he wanted to play.. and Pete was going right along.. till I stepped in.. I gave him lalook and he settled down.. Pete was upset about his g/f as usual.. see she drinks tooooo much.. so this time he says it over.. I know he's said that before.. So he stayed for supper .. and they talked about family again.. Pete has no invite anywhere for Christmas either.. I think he'll be back today.. but I don't know.. he also asked if he could tag along with us to my her sisters in Ontario for New Years.. of course she said okay.. she is such a soft touch for family.. So he stayed till 9:00 Hoover behaved a little better this visit with him.. its gonna take time..

Well we were up this morning at 5:45 .. presents were waiting to be attacked.. and Hoovy did just that.. and he was luggin his monkey everywhere.. silly dufus.. I just munched a treat or two and crashed again.. The cats got their toys and headed downstairs to play.. I cannot wait to see the aquarium going.. its only 3 gallons and self cleaning.. so it should be easy for them.. but the benefits.. they can just sit and watch the fish.. I don't know if she'll get a goldfish.. or a Siamese fighting kind.. guess she'll decide..but probably not till we are back..
Today she'll be busy doing stuff in the kitchen I'm sure.. so it will be a quiet day for us.. unless Pete comes then all h*ll will break loose..

Okay she's home again after splitting early this morning leaving me to babysit that Hov.. Well it wasn't too bad.. he just got into a few things.. knocked over a few boxes and moved the stuff inside.. he barked at the neighbor walking by with her dog.. his hearing is real good.. The phone rang a couple of times.. so it was flashing..
She came in to find a little mess.. but we both gave her an ear full after all this is two days in a row I was left with him.. his new trick is to dig at the floor.. like he's goin to China.. silly sod he is.. he also chewed one of her wood ornaments of a cat.. she wasn't happy with that.. it was a one of a kind type.. She just picked it up.. and gave him lalook.. Then she gave us both a few Pupperoni's.. I'll never get it.. He doesn't deserve her..

Weeks Events..

Okay lets chat about last night.. well we got into it over his stupid knuckle bone.. I wasn't interested in it but I did sniff at it.. and he near went nuts.. she once again had to break us up.. I know this really bothers her you know the ole peace harmony speech.. So after all was calm again we both got up on the couch and had a nap.. I thought he got off easy.. I could have ate the bugger.. and be done with it.. but I didn't.. he's biding his time with me.. Its the old testerosterone thing I think.. he doesn't get it.. that I'm top dog and always will be.. the insecure twirp..

We all went to bed though late.. she was talking to a friend about coming to the Christmas Light Show in Upper Canada.. They are both coming so it should be fun.. I hope " he " behaves there.. I don't want to be embarassed.. I'll let ya know tomorrow..



Well it was around 4 as we headed out the door.. we both had a quick pee and were in the car ready to see the lights.. I flaked out in the back but that Hoover was whining and carrying on.. jumped in the front seat.. and finally settled.. We got there parked and had to wait in line as some busses had come before us.. it was sooooooo boring waiting..but we got lots of looks and attention so it wasn't all bad.. I had my coat on as did Hov.. but he kept pulling the back off.. so he wasn't so bored.. well she fastened it a few times but in the end he was free of it as he wanted.. I kept mine on it was cold .. We finally got in the park.. after about 30 minutes in line and it was fun.. we could run and sniff.. everything was fresh.. You should have heard the commotion Hov made when he saw those biga$$ horses pulling the people sleighs.. he barked like there was no tomorrow.. and foolishly no matter how many times we saw them.. he barked.. I just carried on.. I'm so good.. She was very proud of us and our behavior.. I know I could see it in her eyes as she spoke to people about us.. She even convinced someone to rescue another one of us in Ottawa.. I was happy to be with her sharing this magical night.. Oh we will have lots of good times this winter.. I just know it.. if only we could loose that Hoover.. ( naw only kidding I'm getting used to him )



Well let me tell ya about last night.. We had been out and got pretty wet.. one of our favorite things to do is go trash the bed covers.. So on was the Basset 500.. with Hov in the lead ( as usual ) he was a maniac racing from the living room to the computer room then the bed room.. I got tired just watchin him.. so thats what I did .. silly boy.. anywhooo after all was trashed she laughed and came in.. Hov jumped at her as usual and she fell to her back laughin and he licked her face.. disgusting I thought.. I'm no kissyface.. so then she said.. okay boys take a hike.. I'm changin the sheets.. they were moist from us.. Ya like that silly Hov was going to be calm now.. NOTTTTTTTTTTTTT.. she began pulling the covers and the duvet off.. next the sheets.. He was a terror on and off the bed.. she had to go get her trusted squirter bottle.. ( usually reserved for buggin/howling at the cats ) she gave him a few squirts and he stopped.. for a minute or twooooooo .. this guy is a real pain at times.. Well the bed got changed and reassembled.. she looked at him with his beety eyes and said.. now Hov.. lets see how long this lasts.. with a silly smirk on her face.. I knew she knew not longgggggg.. well she fixed herself a tea.. sat at her computer.. he came in.. I was already on the couch.. he gave her lalook.. and was offfffff ... she laughed and said to me.. what are we to do with him.. I thought you really want me to tell you... I dropped my head and drifted to sleep.. I tell ya what.. I'd have told her.. take him to the bus depot.. :) and see where that pretty face gets him



Ya well I'm told he'll only mature at 2 years.. Okay enough about that.. haha.. Lets get on to last night.. Well we had our supper.. I was ready to settle in.. you know full belly and warm.. Well he wasn't having any of it.. She was on that computer which leaves him to his own devices.. He was up and down on the couch.. sniffed my butt.. I growled at him to stop it or I'd eat him.. she just looked over at me.. saying "Percy" is he buggin you... well " dah " I said.. so she laughed.. and came over to wrestle him down.. he grabbed a mouthful of hair.. she squeeled .. " LET GO " you beast.. he did but in a second grabbed it again.. he thought ah a game.. she was after all pile driving him.. haha.. the worm... anyways it took the attention of a flea to get him to stop bugging me you can see.. This is one more thing I must put up with.. but you know.. Its not all bad.. I'm starting to like the pest..



She's gonna hang him... she just got home and low and behold he got into her sewing box and well ya you guessed it.. pins are everywhere.. thread spools chewed.. something plastic broken.. she looked frantically wondering if he ate any of it.. or pins ectra.. I tell ya.. we get him house trained.. now to quell his irrational puppy behavior.. She brought him home.. she's payin the piper..

Oh gosh he did it .. yup she has a kinda black eye.. while they were rough housing he came up quickly with his hard head and clocked her.. right in the nose.. Yeowwwwww she yelped.. her eyes watered.. I felt bad.. now she has to try to cover it with make-up.. Oh that nuts gonna do us both in..

At least this morning he let us sleep till 645.. an extra hour.. not bad now just one more and we'll be ripe as rain.. he was hoggin the bed though last night.. he seems to be growin longer.. well heavier too.. its all the good stuff we get here.. she does spoil us .. even made us cookies the other day.. Oh did I tell ya yesterday after our walk we spotted the old pooch across the street outside as usual.. poor ole boy never gets to go in.. I fear he'll freeze to death out there.. So when we got back I saw her go to the fridge.. she got a ham hock and went back out to give it to him.. he was barking at her.. he doesn't even get tied out he's so smart and stays on their property.. she threw it.. and waited to see if he'd come.. well he slowly did.. and sniffed the hock.. she smiled and walked back to our place.. he watched her as if to say THANKS.. Sighhhhh



Yay.. he did it.. we slept till 7:15.. I guess it was the walk in the cold night that helped.. he had broken his leach.. well the mechanism in it.. it was a retractable but stopped with his to and fro style of running.. so he hot a new one yesterday.. this one is inly 13' though.. last one was 26' he noticed that right away.. wasn't all too happy.. but prevailed.. Anyways we got back and were bushed.. but you know walking that late at night was good.. no traffic ( not that there ever is any ) but we were both able to use our leaches to the max.. it was fun.. I lope along and he runs crazy.. we didn't meet up with any other dogs though.. I guess they were all asleep.. Which is where I'm headed..



WHOA.. we are tired today.. why you ask .. well first off she was talking on the phone till 11:20.. then we went out for a walk in the cold..when we got back I had a big drink and headed for bed.. she went in the washroom and brushed and flossed ( takes forever ) and Hoover in the meanwhile full of beans is runnin the basset 500... She finally comes to bed.. we all snuggle and drift off.. YIKES.. around 4:10 there it is.. wait for it.. Yup he did a load.. the room was soooo smelly.. you think someone died.. anyway she hauls her butt up.. after turning on the light.. goes and gets her stuff.. cleans it up.. all the while we are watchin her .. Hov goes over and licks her face and lays back down.. what a brown noser he is.. anyways she sprays some air stuff.. that cleans the air up.. but you know.. flower scented poop is still poop..



Yesterday was a long one.. she went out around noon and didn't come back till 6:00 .. she said she went to see Gramps and made a stop at church.. Funny tho she said Gramps wasn't so good today.. a little confused.. I thought get a grip he's 97 .. I'm a little confused at 14.. Anyways we gave her the business for leaving us so long but it was quickly forgotten when we saw she also stopped for food on her way home.. So we all hunkered down and ate..

She hunted around to see what that Hov had been up to.. much to her delight.. nothing was awry.. no pee.. no poop.. Yay she shouted Hoovy.. Yer a good boy.. Then she headed into the computer room so she could touch base with her friends.. we took the couch and crashed.. pretty much uneventful..

Aaarrroooo

Memoirs of Hoover and Me In The Beginning ( 2006 )

Lets start on a Monday

First off let me say my human is quite a gal.. she puts up with allot of craziness from us daily.. my cohort Hoover is just driving her nuts.. he shadows her everywhere.. the other day he hopped in the shower with her.. I heard a " HAY.. get out of here.. ya trying to kill me " .. I was just sitting on the floor in the hallway.. I raised my head to see what was up.. soon she pulled the shower curtain dripping wet she lifted him out of the tub.. and proceeded to dry him.. he was pulling at the towel thinking oh a new game.. she wasn't amused though.. she tried using the dryer on him.. but he ran like h*ll.. after that her still dripping from her hair got back in the shower and finished up.. all the time saying to him.. " stay there " it was quite a comical episode..

Tuesday

Oh have I got one for ya today.. last night we all went to bed about 11:15 ... I got right next to my human and that silly Hoover was at my a$$ .. well we all fell fast asleep I woke up after hearing him jump off the bed.. I thought he was going for water.. few minutes he was back on the bed.. then all of a sudden the room was enveloped with this awful aroma.. yup you guessed it.. he pooped on the floor.. I thought to myself.. oh boy.. I'm gonna get rid of him now.. she'll be packing his toys in the morning.. she doesn't need this.. wait till she wakes up.. gosh I hope she doesn't step in it.. then all of a sudden I hear her say.. " Oh you guys are disgusting " little did she know it wasn't gas.. anyways few minutes passed and she was still holding the pillow to her face.. but the aroma was ever present.. she grumbled.. " Oh no you didn't " switched on the light and sat up.. " YES " I thought.. she sees it.. " he's toast now " she sighs gets up out of bed.. he figures its play time.. she's grumbling all the while.. throws a kleenex on it so he doesn't step in it till she goes gets something to clean it up.. stupid Hoover hot on her tracks.. while I just lay on the warm bed thinking.. she returned.. picked up the load and went to flush it.. she still had not reprimanded him.. I thought " Hay what gives " he in the meantime got back on the bed and barked at me.. she returned mumbling to herself.. then sprayed some of that smelly stuff.. and got back into bed.. we all fell back asleep.. this morning I was sure he'd be going.. but "noooooooooo" he's still here... she let him get away with it.. I hope when I get old and cra* on the floor I don't end up in " depends "

Wednesday

Okay.. about last night.. well it was after supper Hov and I were full and settling in for a nap.. she was on the computer sipping her tea.. that Hoover seemed restless so he left the room and was real quiet.. time passed she was busy at the screen not noticing he was gone AWOL.. I guess what she was doing was intense.. anyways she suddenly heard a noise.. yup you guessed it.. he was up on the coffee table big as life chewing his knuckle bone.. which by itself is okay .. better that than the furniture.. but wait there's more.. our hallway has floating wood floors.. on her return after getting him down by squirting him with her squirt bottle ( I love it when she gets him ) she was coming back.. so I trotted behind her.. silly Hoover stayed in the living room.. while passing the washroom she noticed yup a mess in there.. he had turned over the garbage pail.. scattered the waste.. chewed some q tips then drank from the toilet making the ceramic floor slippery as all get out.. there it was that grumbling I had come to enjoy.. she's gonna get him now... he wondered by as he heard her in there.. thought okay I like this game and vantage point.. so he ran like h*ll in there grabbed a q tip.. and ran back out.. " thief" she called him and chased him trying to get it.. Oh the game afoot he thought... running wildly around.. taking shortcuts under furniture.. but alas she caught him.. he dropped like a stone.. rolled on his back.. she took the q tip.. and because of his goofy face began laughing.. and giving him kisses.. I was just disgusted.. and returned to the couch.. I think she's gone mad..

Thursday

Oh what a night.. She went out for a few minutes to " get a dvd " she said.. I thought great that means popcorn.. So we waited Hov of course set to tearing newspaper.. silly character he is.. anyways she gets back.. with the movies and yup low and behold cleans up the newspaper no scolding AGAIN.. this is really starting to annoy me by the way.. He just looks at her with those crazed eyes and she melts.. Well we settle in after our howling h*llooooooo's She puts on the dvd.. I figure great she'll go pop some corn.. nope she sits on the couch.. I get there before stupid does and get on her lap.. Percyyyyy she says " yer diggin your boney legs into my side.. I was just to see if I'd be pushed away.. well I wasn't and the Hov was left on the carpet.. none to happy I must say he napped on her feet.. Well I put my slobbery face on her chest and fell asleep.. The movie was a chick flick so no fun for me.. even though the title was something about "dogs"
I was real content last night.. I got her for the whole movie.. he got the floor.. Things couldn't have gone better..

Friday...

The adventures never stop.. late yesterday it was snowing to beat the band.. she said hay boys wanna go out front.. ( that means on our 20' tie outs ) well of course Hov was right there.. so she put him on my red tie out and I was put on his blue.. So out we went.. of course he pushed me to get down the stairs first.. we were out a few minutes she looked to check us to see if we wanted in or had got caught ( we do that allot ) around the bushes or tree or big rock out front.. but no we were okay... few more minutes passed.. Hov was barking his fool head off.. she looked to see what the commotion was.. and noticed me walking down the property where I shouldn't be.. So now I'm just walking minding my business remember.. well out she comes.. no coat.. no boots calling me .. I thought " WHAT " I don't want to come in... that bugger Hov had chewed the tie out he was trying to get rid of me... Oh boy was I pi**ed .. well she grabbed my collar and lead me back home.. at least she wasn't mad at me for going too far.. now on the other hand when she went to untangle Hov.. she wasn't happy at all.. gave him the old.. speech about brotherhood.. and brought him in too.. I gave him a piece of my mind I tell you.. if I had got lost she would have been heart broken.. lucky I move slow.. I didn't get to far.. and I'm not the shiniest penny.. I didn't even realize I was free... Oh well its the back yard for a while... I'm plotting my revenge.. He won't get rid of me that easy...

Saturday...

Oh don't get me started.. we just went out in the yard.. the snow up to my belly.. and I was in my glory.. but that pest kept running around me.. over me.. until I told him.. in no uncertain terms to buzz off.. You think he'd listen.. he just kept taunting me with his cute looks ( ya I said it cute ) waggin his tail running crazy patterns.. like a football player.. Well I had enough of his antics so I headed for the ramp to go back up to the deck to go inside.. that SOB .. ran up ahead of me.. and blocked the path.. I tried going around him and fell off into the snow.. Oh I was P'd then.. so I just got on that ramp and bullied my way past him.. lucky I out weigh him for now.. I got in and here I am ranting again.. Yikes time for a nap..

Sunday...

Well its a whole new day.. last night was pretty easy actually.. but this morning all h*ll broke loose.. That Hov was having his own " Basset 500 " of course while she showered.. He trashed our bed.. had stuff flying .. his ears were flapping as he was tearing around.. barking his fool head off.. She didn't realize his behavior was mostly because I got him back for yesterday.. yup he thought it was funny pushing me off the deck.. well the last laugh was mine.. I was blocking the door so he was nervous to pass me to get into the bathroom.. and so he tried to suck me in to running the " Basset 500 " but I might be old but no fool.. I watched him.. till I heard her shut off the water and moved to the hallway.. She got out.. dryed a bit and went to the room.. she saw the trashed bed.. needless to say that silly culprit was laying in the messy bed .. She just laughed.. can you imagine.. I thought she'd have at him.. but noooooooooo I left the room and got up in the lazy boy..

Monday...

Okay I'm calm now I'm fed too... now today she went out leaving us alone.. no big deal.. ya right.. not for Hov.. the beast went on a tear again.. he ripped newspaper.. he chewed up her rubber mat.. knocked the phone off the hook.. and spilled the water bowl.. Well low and behold she rolls in about 2 1/2 hours later with a load of groceries and food for us as well a treat of pigs ear for each of us.. I thought NO WAYYYYY will he get his.. after creating this mess.. I was such a good boy and didn't mess anything.. Anyways she greeted us at the door.. and tried to get in with all her bags.. didn't the little bugger scoot out the door.. She hollered HOOVERRRRRRRR.. he came back.. she was thrilled.. because he could have bolted really... so we all got in safely.. she carried the bags to the kitchen.. saw more of the mess he did.. then guess what.. she actually tossed us both an ear.. can you believe that.. I just don't get this gal.. but I love her..

Tuesday...

Last night I fell asleep on the couch.. while she was on the computer.. it was near 11 and I looked up .. she was there so I drifted back to sleep ( I'm a little nervous if I don't see her at bedtime ) anyways.. I guess I fell back heavily.. because I woke by myself in the dark.. well my cataract's are not good.. so my vision in the dark isn't great.. thank God I have a great sniffer.. I found my way to the bedroom.. and tried to get up.. wouldn't you know it.. there he was.. right in my spot.. was I p'd.. I know its the best place to sleep and most secure right beside her.. but I ended up at the bottom.. I could have woke her up to move him out but I knew she was tired.. I'll deal with him today.. I have a long memory .. he won't get away with it.. Oh and he pee'd last night too on his weewee pad.. ya think he'd hold his water overnight.. haha I know I can..

Wednesday...

Well let me tell you about our walk yesterday.. yup she got all dressed.. the snow pants.. her down filled jacket.. even that silly bomber hat she wears .. and we set out.. Not far passed the driveway she pulled her camera out of her pocket.. I think she wanted to finish the roll in there so she could embarrass us on that computer with the snaps she got of us.. doin stuff.. She snapped one of the house and then pointed it at Hov and me.. yup he pulled away on his leach.. away came her hand from her face and the camera dropped.. the film door opened.. Yikes I thought.. she's gonna be uttsettttt .. and boy was she.. I know that was our first roll as a family.. she captured him and I asleep together on the lazyboy.. and other poses that I won't disguss in polite company.. but they did concern a certain pup and my butt.. anyways she closed the door of the camera.. and listened as it rewinded.. I know she was sad the rest of the walk.. but towards the end that silly Hov.. had her laughing as his ears were flapping and he was running/bounding through the deep snow.. Yes it was funny I have to admit.. We got back.. and had a treat of a chicken leg each on the back deck.. while she sat with a hot chocolate.. the sun shining and silence all around.. Yes its all good really..

Thursday...

Today I think she will go out to Walmart and see if any photos were not lost to Hov's antics..

Oh what a night... she's tired today.. that silly Hov had us up at 4 this morning with diarrhea .. the smell I tell ya.. even on my worst day I never was that stinky.. it was way worse than when we cut the cheese together.. anyways on goes the light.. up she gets.. grumbling a little.. lets him out.. after the fact.. I never understood that theory.. humans are weird.. she proceeded to get it up as best she could.. and applied that spray stuff to make it not stain or smell.. I think she'll do a better job today on it.. ha she thought it would be all fun and games.. what an awakening.. but I must say her sense of humor is real noticeable these days.. I think shed be tearing her hair out if she didn't.. besides Hoover grabbed a mouthful the other day while she was wrestling him on the bed.. lucky he let go.. Well we all got back to bed around 4:45 he was asleep in seconds.. wrapped around her head this time.. I was loyally by her side.. she through her arm over me.. said nite pup.. and we all drifted back to sleep.. What a night..
