a comic : )

"Thats the deal -- they get unconditional love,

and you get an occasional tummy rub."

isn't that a fitting comic? just kidding!! i get so many tummy rubs and kisses and lots of play time. i certainly can't complain. (sometimes i look forward to when everyone goes to work...i get some me time)

well, i got the hair cut. the girl who did it cut my ears unevenly. my mom wants to fix it but she's too busy!! here's a pic of "the new me."

this was taken just this morning! i was begging my mom for some cheerios. yes, there is some kibble behind me, but you don't expect me to eat THAT!?!?!

i would be quite happy if...

...i never saw, heard or even SMELLED another “firework” ever ever again. i felt like we were under siege!! of course i’m referring to this weekend’s 4th of july activities. the day was nice and leisurely (until the END!!!)

in the afternoon we sat on the porch in the lovely warm weather. grandmom made margaritas - auntie elly, grandmom and grandpop had some. (well, i may have had a lick or two, GASP!!) here’s a few pictures:

haha, silly faces!!

me & mommy

playing with auntie

then, mom and aunt elly went over to atlantic city for dinner and to see the fireworks. they took some pictures and i promised i’d post them. (yes, there is a guard rail in the picture; they watched them from the AC expressway, lol) so here are some distant photos of the harrah’s/borgata spectacular:

last, but MOST CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, when mom and aunt elly got home, everyone went outside to light the illegal fireworks that we smuggled into nj. (surely you remember the pictures we took at south of the border!?) did i mention that i HATE FIREWORKSSS. unlike most dogs, i’m a brave boy, thunder doesn’t scare me at all. mom said it would sound like thunder, but i was clawing at grandmom because FEAR was just overcoming me. i was later found hiding under the coffee table. ...of course because my thoughts (and paws) were elsewhere at the time, i can’t provide any pictures of the fireworks escapade.

luckily mom & auntie el wrapped me in my puppy blanket and cuddled with me on the bed. you can definitely see the horror on my face:

hope your 4th was a little less NERVE-RACKING than mine. talk to ya’ll soon!!

I'M HERE!!!!

hey everybody. you'll never guess why i haven't been able to blog in such a long time!! our house was hit by lightning & surged out the internet!! i was home at the time. mom, grandmom & grandpop were at work. i heard  a HUGEEEEEE explosion. we saw bark EVERYWHERE!!

here's where it hit, this poor tree has to come down on tuesday. mom says she might cry.

so, finally the internet is up and running. we think the router got surged out too, so right now im HARDWIRED to the wall!! blahh.

anyway, how's everyone been? i've been spending a lot of time with yours truly now that mom's working everyday but she likes it. hope everything's well with ya'll!!
