Hello my loyal followers!

Guess who came over again last night..GUS! At first I was a meanie again and Momma got mad so she put me and Midas in the kitchen but let Gus go wherever he wanted. Isn’t that mean? Momma’s supposed to love us more but she let GUS do whatever he wanted. But it’s okay. I kept giving her my sad eyes and so she let me out. But when she let me out, she held on to me really, really tight and the first couple of times she did that I didn’t like it so when Gus came near me, I snapped at him. Momma kept yelling NO and put me back in the kitchen. I was in the kitchen for such a long time and I had to watch Gus running around and having fun. But than I noticed that Gus didn’t care about my toys or chews or anything. Momma would throw a toy and Gus wouldn’t go get it. Isn’t he silly? So after that, I decided Gus was okay cause he wouldn’t steal any of my toys.

The next time Momma let me out, me and Gus played and played and played. I did snap at him a little but that was only when he kept trying to get on top of me. No one does that to me. I’m the one in charge but Gus tried to hump me so I let him know that I’m a giver, not a taker. I guess he gave up cause when Momma let Midas out, Gus would try to hump Midas only. It was funny. Gus is just a baby so he doesn’t know how to do it right yet. He would touch Midas’ foot with his nose and than start humping the air. Momma and Auntie Wynne were laughing.

We had a lot of fun. Midas, me and Gus ran around and around and around. Gus is really silly. After he drinks water, he puts his paw in the bowl and starts splashing it all over the place. Than he was all wet so he kept slipping all over the floor.

I’m happy to have a new friend now. Momma told me to just wait until Gus gets bigger than I’m gonna be in trouble. Ha! Gus may get bigger but I’ll always be faster!! Momma says I’m gonna see Gus this weekend so I better go rest now.

Momma says we play vicious, but helloooooo, we're dogs, remember?! Posted by Picasa
Playing with Gus was fun. He had an unfair advantage though. His nose and mouth were longer. I liked how ears flopped all over the place.  Posted by Picasa
Me and Midas would be a good team if he wasn't such a baby. He would lick and run or if Gus came close to him and I wasn't around to protect him, Midas would flip on his back. Momma says Midas is a lover not a fighter Posted by Picasa
Gus had sharp teeth but it's okay cause I was faster. Posted by Picasa
This is me and Gus. Isn't my butt cute? Posted by Picasa
We liked to run under the table where daddy was. Midas liked to lick and run Posted by Picasa

I was a bad boy again..


Mommy and Daddy were very disappointed in me and Midas last night. We had guests and they brought over another puppy named Gus. He's a lab and 10 weeks old. Momma says he's really cute but when me and Midas saw him in our house we got mad cause it's our house so we barked at him and I tried to take a nip at him. Daddy pulled me back and held me down but I was so worked up I kept making these funny noises. Midas was going crazy too. Momma said she couldn't understand what was wrong with me. She said I had never been agg-gressive before and that I wasn't like that with Gizmo or Sophia or Rex. Daddy suggested we go outside where it's noo-tral. When we were outside, the big people let us get closer and we did a lot of sniffing (except Midas--he's gay so he likes to lick). I wanted to do my usual sir hump-a-lot routine but momma kept pulling me off. Than another small dog came by and I wanted to play with him. Midas kept barking and barking. He thinks just cause he has the cone he's all tough now. huh. He's all bark.

Daddy had to 'work' so Momma brought us upstairs and we had to stay in the bedroom the whole night. But it was okay cause everytime Momma came in, she brought us good treats!! I told her to give some of my treats, chews and toys to Gus cause I felt bad. I was a meanie.

I'M SORRY GUS.

I promise I'll behave next time and Midas won't bark at you anymore.

Momma didn't take any pictures last night but here's a picture of Gus that Daddy took this weekend.

Momma says Midas' new name is Bruno cause he doesn't know he's wearing a cone and tries to push and force his way through places he shouldn't. Daddy tried to be cool and instead of fixing the cone with tape, he used biking/snowboarding etc decals to fix it. You can see all the nicks and scratches on it. There's two cracks. One of them (#1) goes the entire length of the cone! Posted by Picasa
"Bruno" lived up to his name and broke his collar. Daddy had to make a run to Petsmart and buy another one Posted by Picasa

You wanna know a secret? Daddy's a big softie. Momma says he's 'sensitive'. Daddy told her that bully sticks aren't allowed in the house cause he's morally opposed to them, but after Midas got his cone, Daddy felt so bad for him that he actually held the Bully stick just so Midas could chew on it.  Posted by Picasa
See how nice I am. I'm sharing my window with Midas. He has a fat butt too, so he takes up all the space! Posted by Picasa
Momma likes this picture. She thinks it's funny cause Midas is still trying to play with his ball even with the cone.  Posted by Picasa

Hello my loyal followers,
I think mommy and daddy are disappointed in me. Yesterday, they took Midas to the doctor and he was gone ALLL day!! I was very sad cause there was nothing for me to do all by myself. At least daddy was home to keep me company. mommy came home early from work and than they left to pick up midas. Mommy said that Midas had an ab-suss on his head and had to have surgery to take it out. That's what he gets for chewing on chairs though. They don't even taste like liver?! Why would he do that?

So when he came home, he was wearing this funny looking cone. I was very happy to see him and mommy was laughing cause she said when Midas got home he was whining cause he wanted to see me so badly and when Mommy finally put him down, he was so happy he started doing his happy dance. Even his butt was shaking!! I got scared though. I saw the cone on his head and this weird tube sticking out of his neck and I ran away. I thought that if I got too close, I might get contaminated or he'll poke my eyes out with the cone. Mommy was very sad cause I wasn't nice to Midas when he was so happy to see me. But in my defense, that rubber tube sticking out of his neck keeps dripping blood and puss and it's GROSS!! Mommy keeps cleaning it off and Daddy was very sad when he had to wipe down the tube.

Mommy said that since I was so mean to Midas, she would make me wear a cone on my head so i would know what it felt like. She's the meanie!! I couldn't believe it! HOW RUDE!!

Anyways, they think that I'm staying away from Mids cause I'm scared. I'm not scared anymore. I just don't want to hurt him. But I have to admit. He's tough. He hasn't complained at all and he always takes his medicine without complaining. He doesn't know yet that the more you complain, the better the treats are afterwards!! Oh well.

Daddy says they're taking him back to the vet on Monday to take the drain out. So no bitey-face until than.
