Work!

Its been funny weather lately. It snows one day, and then is nice and warm the next. Monday, when we went to doggie school,it was so nice mom didn't even wear a coat. Then, on Tuesday the rain came and some snow, and then the weather people said we would get freezing rain in the evening. Mom works from 4pm to midnight, so she was worried she might not be able to get home after work to let me out, so I got to GO TO WORK!
I like to go to work. The people there always have something to eat, and they give me snacks, and I get to help mom out with her reports, and general office assistance duties. When I was a pup I was the best paper shredder ever - everybody said so!
We got lucky tonight. It started to warm up and the ice melted around the time work was over, so we got home safe and sound. It was nice to see my work friends again.
Here I am, at work, and "on my break".

New Game!

We were looking around over at Johann's
place and saw the Nina Ottosson games on his shopping page, so Mom got me this one - The Tornado Interactive Game!
After we tried it a little while, and I got the hang of it, mom put my dinner in there and I worked on it for about half of an hour until I got everything out. It was loads of fun. I wasn't frustrated, just darn interested on working on it. After I was done I had a little nap. I think I'm gonna have to add this toy to my list of favorite stuff to do!

I tried something new today..

And, dog, did I enjoy it! Mom took me to my school, Splash and Dash. I was a little confused, because I didn't think it was Monday yet, and there were no other dogs there that I knew, and no agility equipment was set up...

Then, we started to work on this stuff called CANINE FREESTYLE DANCE .It is sort of like obedience, and kind of like rally-o, but as far as I was concerned - WAY MORE FUN. Honest to dog, it held my attention for the entire 2 hours, and I think that might be a first for me!

I didn't get bored once! I worked on spin, twist (that's spin, but the other direction), heel and spin, heel and twist, on the left side, and also on the right side, which is harder than it looks once you have been through obedience class.

I learned walking backwards, well, at least how to learn to walk backwards.

We did this cool thing where mom walks toward me, and I do the little half spins in front of her, and then she went backwards, and I do the little half spins coming towards her....

Oh my gosh, my brain got such a work-out! And, I think I heard someone say that someday we can do all of this to music. Now, how cool will that be?

So, I am going to go back again next month, and Jan, the teacher, said she's going to see about having it every month. So, sign me up!
Oh, yeah, mom liked it too.

Thanksgiving offering - kitty style....

Laura and Josie were playing in the basement last night and caught themselves a mouse. And then they were thoughtful enough to bring it upstairs for mom and me. We're not exactly sure which one of us was the lucky recipient because it was placed right beside my favorite toy, Squeaky Cat. Anyhow, mom thanked them profusely, got rid of the poor thing and put Squeaky in the washer for a bath.

Happy Thanksgiving!

WE HAD WEENIES!.... Mom had a long week, worked every night, and some days the weather wasn't so good. She did stop at the store after work last night, but there wasn't any turkey left, and today we watched the National Dog Show, and fiddled around getting a picture of me to send over to Johann's contest, and then the grocery stores were closed, so... we had weenies. Now, finding things to be thankful for isn't hard for me. I have a very nice life, and sharing weenies on Thanksgiving with Mom, Laura and Josie, as far as I'm concerned, THAT REALLY ROCKS!

YIPPEE! WHOO-HOO! YEA! (:>)

Things are looking up! It's snowing!!!! I love the snow, and, we even made it to doggie school this week. Mom's on the mend and I'm behaving myself again. Haven't done anything that's not allowed for 3 days now....
We are going to go take a walk - see ya.

Morgan, NO, That's Not Allowed....

It's been a long week. Right after our big outings in the nice weather, mom fell under the weather with a really bad cold. She slept for about 3 days, and then just putzes around for like 3 more days. We even skipped doggie school this week. Geez... I was getting pretty bored, so I thought I would see if some of the stuff that is off limits, was still in effect...
So, I got in the garbage can and pulled out paper towels and coffee grounds and smeared them around. "Morgan, no, that's not allowed" she says.
Went out in my play yard and barked myself silly several times, and had to come in - "not allowed."
Got cat poo out of the potty box - "Morgan, stop it, that is so not allowed."
Ambushed Laura (the most timid of my two cats) "Knock it off Morgan, that's not allowed, and, it's not nice."
Got in the laundry and chewed up some underpants.. "Morgan, you better just stop it, this is not allowed."
So, long story short, my research proves that some of the the stuff I find amusing is STILL NOT ALLOWED!!!
BOL.
