It's my birthday today!!!

I turned three today. This is all I wanted to do all day...

Of course, this is all I want to do every day! I got to spend the whole day with Joe. All I did was sleep all day, and all Joe did was play video games. It felt like a Saturday.

I got the coolest presents this year - a new bed AND and a pair of ducks (no paradox jokes, please). I love them so much!

I waited all summer for summer to begin, but it never really did, so I don't have much to say about that anyway. I like my new Central Bark (once in a while I get a new puppy to play with) and Dad still takes me out for walks in the morning, even on those days when I don't want to go with him (see the top picture - get the idea?)

I hear mom wrapping presents - I need to go help her tear paper.

Baroo! Merry Christmas!!!

It has been too long since I last wrote!

Ba-roooooooo and greetings to all those fans who adore me! HAH! - who am I kidding? Everyone adores me!


I think winter might be over. I got to lay out in the sun a couple of times, but the furnace came on this morning and that made me just as happy. I don't wear my jackets too much anymore, but dad put one on me the other morning when it rained. I like the rain, especially when it is running down the gutters. It makes me so happy to splash around in the water. Dad even lets me look into the sewer grates to see where the water goes (I don't know where - it just sort of disappears).



I go to a different Central Bark now - mom got a new job and this daycare is pretty close to where she works. I love it there - they have other dogs to play with, and get this - they have a garden hose and squirt water just for me!!! Gayle even has lots of pictures of me, just like dad does. I saw Sue Ann at the dog park a couple of months ago (she is from my old doggy daycare) - I will never forget her (I am a basenji, you know - we never forget anything we ever see). I was so happy to see her.



Last night's walk was unbelievable - there were four squirrels running around right above me! I thought one was going to fall, but it didn't. Dad told me to be careful and not waste squirrels - they don't grow on trees, afterall. Somehow that just didn't sound right. Hmmm. This picture shows me managing squirrels from my house.



I am going to visit Rhya and Tanner sometime this summer. I love their backyard. They have a deck, and a pool, and a rabbit living under the deck, and (allegedly) two cats, and they take me for a zillion walks a day, and get ice cream, and let me watch Ba-rooooers games. I had fun there.


Have a wonderful day! I need to go outside and take care of a little "doggy business," if you know what I mean...


Baroooooooo!

It's still winter, isn't it?

Barooo everyone!

I am having such a great winter! The furnace comes on so much that I am getting plenty of rest. When I am forced to go outside there is enough snow for me to make face-cones. I didn't like the bitter cold weather, but it hasn't been too bad lately. Mom and Dad and Joey have taken me to the dog park a couple of times. We went to PetSmart too, so I got to see other dogs and say hi. Cory wasn't there, so I didn't get to baroo for her.

We all had our birthdays in December and January. Joey's birthday party was the neatest - he invited all his friends over to see me! They were kind of noisy, though, and didn't do a good job of sharing their food with me. They mostly ignored me when they played Guitar Hero, but I got plenty of squeezes.

I think mom liked my birthday present to her the best! She told Joey that it looks like I am always wearing socks, so I got her Basenji socks! She put them on before she tried her birthday cake (hey, wait a second here - I didn't get any of that cake! Not fair!)

I got nice Christmas presents - a jacket and some toys. I also got to take a nap on grandma's lap. She is comfortable and warm. Dad and Joey stayed home with me for a whole week and a half, and that was nice. I didn't go to doggy daycare, so I was really, really, really happy to be back when mom started taking me there again.

I wasn't feeling too well about a week ago. Dad had to give me some medicine called "Pup-Sid AC" or something like that. My doctor told me to take it easy for a week. I think Dad's sweet potato made me feel the best. I got to eat almost a whole one myself! Those things are big!!!! My tummy didn't feel well before that but now I am back on my food, and carrots, and almonds, and underwear. I feel great!

Sounds like I need to see if there are any of those darn squirrels in our tree again. TTYL, and stay warm!
