I'd be a Golden Retriever

From Overheard:

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!

mmm...Artichoke!

I loooove to chew and I looove my cousins' artichoke toy! Ahooooo!

Guess what?!?!

We're moving!

And I thought I'd help with all the packing my moms have been doing. (That's why they haven't been helping me blog very much lately. Gee thanks.)

We are only moving just down the street, basically. We are moving into the apartment of the new building that my Aunt Bri owns. All sorts of craziness in that place, but nonetheless a great improvement on our current home. I think Mom will like not having to pick so much trash out of my mouth in the new neighborhood...hehee. Oh, also, unlimited playtime with my cousins Lexie and Gertie. I could never get tired of them!! (Mom's note: and laundry in the building, lower rent, and uh, my new nephew who will only be downstairs after he is BORN in 12 weeks or so!!!!!) So, stay tuned for more news on my adventures throughout the move and this beee-utiful Memorial Day weekend (whatever that is) leading up to the move full of nice weather in NYC and.....

packing!

Toodles!

She's crazy, I tell you

Olive barking loudly

Nat, looking at Olive: Did you just fart and then bark about it?

Jess-nutt: Did you really just ask her that?

Oh, how I'm going to miss her...

I am at work after dropping little Olive off at her Aunt and Uncle's house for the weekend. The Jess-ter and I are going back to Sm!th for their graduation festivities. I can't believe we were only doing that ourselves last year. Whoa. How time flies. Anyway, we dropped Olive off and she played with her cousins as energetically as she did last night so I'm not too worried about her(we decided on a third preliminary meeting with the cousins Lexie and Gertie last night), but it breaks my heart to be away from her. How do all of you ever part from your little one? It is going to be tough, but only 2 nights away from her.
