I'd be a Golden Retriever

Boyfriend: I wish I had a dog.
Girlfriend: I wish I were a dog.

Goodbye, Mommy....

I had to say goodbye to Mommy this morning. As soon as I saw the suitcase I knew something was up. She is going to see my uncle graduamuate from high school and visit with her parents in California. I've never been to California. I wonder what it's like....

Anywhoooo, it was awfully mean of Mommy to leave me on this particular day, especially, because today I am 6 months old!


I think that while she is away I will have a big paw-tee to celebrate. Hehe. I'm not really going to be alone, though. The Jess-ter will be around to supervise and provide me with any missing snuggles while Mommy is away... Mmmm...snuggles... (*pug bliss face*)

Have fun on your trip, Mom! I end this post with my back to you... that's how I feel about you leaving me...I'll miss you...

We made it!

Well, we made it to the new apartment.

It has taken me some time to find the computer, the necessary cords, and actually sit down to blog, but there has been so much going on, I just simply don't have the time. Firstly, let me just say, that living upstairs from my cousins is AWESOME! I get to play with my big dog cousin, Lexie, whenever I want! Well, whenever I bark loud and long enough at the door that connects the apartments...hehe. In this new apartment, another great feature is that I don't have to sleep in my crate anymore at night. I get to sleep in the big bed! Snuggled between my mommies...ahhh....and I must admit, I have been pretty resourceful in my escape techniques to get off that tall thing! No accidents from me, thankyouverymuch...I know where the piddle pad is and I use it in the middle of the night if I have to. :) I'm such a big girl now. That's what they keep telling me.

Look how big I'm getting!

This is my new favorite spot where I sit and watch the birdies.

This weekend was Brooklyn Pride, and so to show my support, I had a fancy sparkly rainbow tank top that I sported to the festival. The parade was at night, so I didn't get to go, but lemme tell you...I got so much lovin' from both the boys and the girls in my snazzy beater-tank.


Well, I must go check on the other animals downstairs now! You know, those two cats really grind my gears...always hissing and swatting at me when I go by...I think its best if we both stay far away from each other which is what we usually do. I'm still working on my chihuahua cousin Gertie. Slowly but surely she is warming up to my charm...she'll be rolling around with me soon enough, I tell you. (Mom's note: Olive, don't get your hopes up on that one. Gertie was an abused doggie and so for a while when she first joined their family, we couldn't even touch her lower back without her turning around and snapping. Her version of playing is a little different than yours. Let's just leave her be and play with Lexie, okay?) But Moooooom, all I wanna do is bother her!
