Did you notice I’ve been gone? It’s been two weeks since my last blog entry. The strangest thing happened to me - Mom made me into a dog for two weeks! GASP! Grandma came to visit, and she’s allergic to me. So Mom made me stay outside in the yard except when it was bed time. It was so foreign to me - being a dog. Thankfully, it was beautiful spring weather here in Texas so it was nice to spend time outside. I had fun playing like an actual (GASP!) dog. So I had two weeks of no clothes, no conversations with Mom, no riding in the car to get the kids from school, etc. I’m glad Mom had fun, but I’m so glad to be a real person again!
Oh, and Mom and Grandma spent a weekend in Canton, and they stayed at this really nice bed and breakfast. It’s called the Humphries House, and it was built in the 1890s. Mom told me the owner has a really cute Shitz Zu. She also told me that practically EVERYONE brings their dogs to Canton. I felt a bit left out…
If you ever need a place to stay while you shop in Canton, Mom raved about this bed and breakfast.
Here’s a couple pictures of where Mom and Grandma stayed. Mom looks awfully happy sitting on the porch in the warm weather.
Ack, Mom is kicking me off the computer. She says that she has work to do. I’ll post again soon!

Did you all know that today is the first day of what humans call the year 2007? My mom is all excited about this because 2006 was a really crappy year for her. She says that 2007 will be much, much better. She’s got all sorts of plans for her Swanky Pooch business; I’m not sure what they are, but I do know that they involve me doing taste tests!
And speaking of taste tests, I got to do one just today. Mom made these great peanut butter and chocolate chip dog cookies; well, they’re really carob chips, but I like to call them chocolate because chocolate is more decadent. It got to eat TWO huge cookies. Mom wasn’t happy because they didn’t turn out as planned, but that just means that there’s more for me. Good thing dieting isn’t on my list of New Year’s resolutions.
Speaking of resolutions, have you been working on yours? I have! Here are a few I’ve come up with, just off the paw…
Expand my wardrobe. And not with cheap, cheesy dog clothes either. I’m talking some really swanky masculine duds. Have you seen those cool spiked collars? I gotta get one of those!
Exercise more. If mom keeps using me as her taste tester, I’m going to have to work off the pounds. I’m a studly 11 pounds right now, and I need to keep it that way. So I’m going to badger mom to take me to the park more often. She’s supposed to exercise 3 hours a week anyway, so some of that might as well be with me!
Make new friends. I’d love to go to the Fort Worth dog park and play with some other doggie buddies. I overheard mom talking to Amy the other day, and she promised Amy we’d all three go to the dog park one Saturday afternoon when it’s warm. I’m very excited because I’ve never been before!
Score one of those luxury blankets grandma makes. I’d prefer one as a gift from grandma, but maybe mom will have to buy me one. That would probably keep me off mom’s new afghan…
Speaking of afghans, I think it’s time for bed. I’m going to go curl up in my favorite spot, right in the middle of mom’s side of the bed. I hope mom doesn’t push me off!
