Hey, my momma says we forgot to update our blog for monfs and monfs! Oops! Dat's kind of embarassing.



Since we have two feet of snow on da ground we hafto stay inside most of da time. So we play games on da couch and I try to put my toys on everbody to see if dey wants to steal dem. Nobody ever wants to steal dem, ecept sometimes my momma does try to. Den she chases me and says she gonna get my toy! I wuv dat.

My mom and dad used shovels and dug us some really cool tracks in da yard so we have places to run around, and some other places just to go poop. Ecept Koda always poops right in the running path because he is so weird sometimes! Can you believe dat? I will ask my momma to take some pitchers so we can show you dem tomorrow I hope. Pitchers of our running paths, not pitchers of Koda's poo! Yuck!

Lucy had to go to da docta's office last week bacuz her foot hurts or somefing. Da docta say Lucy can't run around or get on da couch, but she still tries to all da time. If she don't stop dat limping she has to go back and have x-rays - dat means pitchers of her leg dat show da bones and stuff. But I had to go wif her to da docta's office just so everbody could pet me an' I got lots of intention. An' momma was so happy bacuz Koda was very nice to da new docta, even though he said WOO WOO a lot.

Oh, I almost forgot! I finally learned how to say WOO WOO, only it sounds more like ROO ROO when I say it. My mom always laughs and says "do it again" when I say it. I didn't even know it was so much fun, but now I say it a lot.

Well, I didn't scare nobody on Halloween, and I didn't get no candy. My momma gave me yummy treats so I didn't hafta play no tricks on her.

One day I woked up before my momma and I felt hungry and bored. So I went downstairs an I found some fings to eat and to play wif. Here's da pitchers.





I fink dat I forgot to tell you about my new cousin. Her name is Clara, she is from Australia, I fink. Where's Australia? I dunno, but I fink she needs to know dere ain't no cattle in dis house!



You might fink she is a mouse, but she is defly not a mouse. I know bacuz I asked Koda and he says there ain't no mouses dat big. She comes over to play wif us a lot and we have lots of fun, I wike to have somebody 'round who's smaller den me.

My Halloween Face

I know it's not Halloween yet, but I am practicing my scary face so dat I get it perfect in time for da big day. My mom says I'll probly be scared of all da kids in deir costumes, but I fink dey will be scared of SAMMIE!!

Well we did finally get moved, not to say we're done unpacking, but at least all of the boxes are now at one location. It's progress. Koda, Sammie and Lucy have been making great use of their new fenced backyard and they wanted me to share some pictures with you.









We've also been taking walks around our new neighborhood, which is something we couldn't do at the old house. All in all, I'd say these dogs have made out quite well in the move. It's been a bit stressful on everyone though, human, canine and feline alike. All three of the dogs came down with a nasty stomach bug the first week we were in the new house. That was no fun. The cats are stressed out because they are used to being allowed outside, but now that we live in the city I can't let them out anymore. Cleo has injured her nose and apparently she keeps picking at it. Now she has no fur on her nose.



She'll be seeing the vet tomorrow morning to make sure there's nothing serious going on, though I'm pretty sure it's stress related. Unfortunately, I just found out our regular vet is no longer at her practice, and we'll be having a new vet! I'm a little concerned (okay, I'm a LOT concerned). Hope it goes well tomorrow!

Sammie is not feeling sociable right now. She has had a rough couple of weeks, but I'll let her tell you about it when she feels up to it. :-)

We had a bad weekend! On Friday I got sick and couldn't eat my breakfast and frowed up, so momma took me to da docta and dey said I was just plain sick. Den Lucy got sick too on Sataday, and we all had to go wif mom and dad to clean da old howse, and it was no fun! We had to stay in da kitchen all day long, even dough we cried and fussed. And Lucy went in da basement and pooped on da floor, which I fink is so gross but momma say Lucy couldn't help it. We had to stay there til almost midnight, and den when we came home we had to go straight to bed. An we had to eat chicken and rice for two days! Mom says I make a real big mess when I eat rice, but my tongue just flips it all ova da place. I can't help it!

My mom forgot to take da camera to work today, so I guess she can't post any pitchers of me AGAIN. I don't fink she unnerstands how important it is, she is so unreliable sometimes! Sheesshhh!

I gotta go now, check back soon for some new pitchers!

Wuv,
Sammie

My new howse

We moved to da new howse dis weekend. So far I likes it a lot, but I keep gettin' in trouble for beatin' up on Koda and Lucy in da backyard. Mom says I act just like a wild animal and I need to learn some manners, but I don't care - I like to be da boss!

On Sataday two men came to put cables in da howse so mom and dad could watch TV. I did not like dose men at all! Dey tried to pet me and I runned in da otha room ta get away from dem. And den I sat on da couch wif momma so dey couldn't get me. Dey had loud tools and funny lights on dey heads. SCARY! Lucy jumped ova da baby gate to protect me - she jumped all aroun' one guy and barked at him til mom caught her and put her in da bedroom. Koda growled and growled, cuz dat's what Koda does. Dey didn't even try to pet him!

Our kitty cats was really mad dat we moved. Now dat we live in a town dey can't go outside no more. Tom is crying all day and night bacuz he wants to go outside, but momma says no way. I wish she would just let him go out so I can get some beauty sleep at night.

We have new neighbors, too. One is a little brown and black dog named Brutus dat doesn't like us, and on da otha side is a brown dog smaller den me called a Pug (my momma say I look like a Pug sometimes, but I don't fink so - I much cuter). Further away dere is a boxer dat looks like Lucy but barks like Koda, and he lives wif a great big black dog. Dere is otha dogs dat walk past our howse all da time too. I like to look out da winda and see who is walking by. At our old house nobody ever walked by, BORING!

Somefing bad happened to me at my new howse. I fell down da steps one night bacuz it was dark and I forgot dey was dere since we didn't have no steps at our old howse. My momma hugged and kissed me a lot and dat made me feel betta. I always walk real careful on da stairs now.

Momma says she can't put up no pitchers taday, but maybe later. I not know how, or I would do it. Sowwy!!

Wuv,
Samma Lamma Ding Dong

We got tagged!

I haven't been able to post much lately, because we are all tied up with moving and everything. But I got tagged by Theresa, so I guess I gotta tell you some of the weird things my dogs do.

1. Lucy likes to put her nose about one inch from your face and just stare at you. She will just stay like that for a long time, breathing hot breath on your cheek if you let her.

2. Koda drools like a faucet whenever someone eats an orange. He loves them - it may be his favorite food.

3. Sammie whines just like a little baby when she wants something - her toy from under the bed, the steak I left on my plate while I walked to the sink, attention from a new person. She sounds like a little mouse or a tiny puppy when she cries, very, very pitiful.

4. All three of them lick the pillows that my sister helped me make from interior decorating fabric. The pillows are a simple floral pattern, nothing particularly tasty about them.

5. They all LOVE to go to the vet!
