Wake Up Call!

At 3:30 this morning, mom woke me up... yes, you read that right... 3:30!  And she has the nerve to complain about us waking her up at 5:00 am!

Anyways...

I was having a good snooze...  you can almost hear me snoring!

I woke up to mom saying, "Sam, Sam, wake up... Santa's been here!  You have to go see what he left under the tree for you!

So Pip and I got up to humour her... and look what we found!

Cat Butt!

All I can say is kittehs are weird!  At least he didn't tip the angel over and try to go up her dress again!  How embarassing...

I'm so glad Christmas is over for another year!

Hope you all have a very safe and happy new year! 

All the best to everyone in 2011!

Wordless Wednesday - Christmas Card Edition

Christmas Day - Presents and Walkies!

Mom?  Can we open the presents now?

I'm sitting nice and all...

Alrighty then... what's in this one?

Smells yummy... Two bones from Pippen's girlfriend, Mitzi!

Here's what Santa brought us...

A squeaky pig and a ball for me... a new collar for Pippen...

and some good foods!

And let's not forget about the greenies!

Nom, nom, nom...

Pippen really enjoyed his bone...

Here's what we bought for mom... a book about crochet stuffs...

she really likes it and says she's going to make this sweater.

Then after sampling all our treats, mom said we needed to go for a walk!

We haven't been to the mall in ages so that's where we headed...

No one around at all!

The parking lot looks huge when there aren't any cars parked!

We stopped here for awhile because it said we had to...

There's lots of interesting smells at the bottom of a garbage can!

Of course, Pippen is much more refined and likes the smells of trees and flowers and such...

Mom... I don't care if it's Saturday... I'm not going up all those steps!

I wonder what these two cement thingies are for? 

Here's some steps we can go up!

Hurry up, Pip!  Why do we always have to wait for you?

Some good sniffs here...

Wait up!!

The other side of the mall... still deserted...

Just steps away from home and I can't take another step...

What?  Did you say 'GREENIE'?

Here I come!

Hope your Christmas was as much fun as ours has been so far!

Dear Santa...

Please Hurry...

Something tells me I'm getting Greenies for Christmas...

I like looking at them upside down...

I like looking at them sideways...

I like getting up close and personal with them...

but best of all, Santa, I LOVE eating them...

So Please Hurry!

I'm gonna sleep right here until you say its okay to eat them...

Our Christmas Decorating

We thought we'd share our christmas decorating with our friends...

Last Saturday mom went shopping and she brought home a tree!  Now you gotta understand... we never decorate for christmas so when this tree came out of the box and mom plugged it in...

WOW!

I really liked the dude in red and even tried to take him to a quieter spot in the house but mom said no...

So here are some of our decorations...

Mom let Pip and I catch a squirrel so we could hang him in the tree!  He seems to be pretty happy to be in from the cold...

Mom got this flying snowman, just because...

And here's our christmas angel... mom made that a few years ago.

Notice that the dude in red is now on a high shelf where I can't get him...  bah humbug!

Here's one of the little houses that mom fished out of the complex dumpster... they light up and everything!

And here's the other one... we think they are pretty neat.

and here's a crocheted snowman... 

So that's it.  Our little tree and our decorations... hope you like them!

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year!

Wordless Wednesday - Prince and the Pea Edition

Birthday Numbered Seven

Well, I can't believe that the day is finally here!

Today I turn SEVEN!  How the heck did that happen?  It seems like yesterday I was just a wee baby...

With my gramma...  she thought I was very, very cute!

Outside, getting some fresh air...

Showing mom some attitude... for some reason she thought she could train me!

And then there's this picture...  my mom was such a doofus but to her credit I was her first puppy...

I pretended I was a fussy eater so there's like three different types of food... sigh... those were the days!

Do you see that yellow thing that I'm 'stuck' in?  That was a cat toy and I loved getting in it and walking around.  Mom thought I'd instantly grow and she'd never be able to get it off!  She'd panic everytime... but did she get rid of the thing?  NO...

This one isn't a puppy picture but is one of mom's favourites...

She fell asleep on the sofa one day and woke up with me, half on and half off!  She was so happy that she had the camera right next to her...

Well... it isn't thousands of puppy pictures but they are the favourites.

I think we'll be going to my favourite store today and I heard mom talking about greenies!

Torrential Rainy Sunday!

Well, it's raining outside...  hard enough that mom had to kick our sorry little behinds out the door!  Its been like that since last night and doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon.

This morning mom made us put on our sweaters so that we could walk a little bit...

Sam got to wear his nice orange safety sweater.  I gotta admit, he looks smashing in it!

I wore one of southwestern design, nice reds and browns....

I wasn't convinced when mom put them on us but when we got home only our heads and bums were wet!

Now I'm going to veg on the sofa for the rest of the day, snug as a bug in a rug...

I wonder if there's anything good on Squirrel TV today?
