Joey...Santa Is Watching You!

Scout here reporting to you about my clueless brother, Joey.  Wouldn't you think after seeing Santa just a day ago that he would be on his best behavior?  I keep telling him that Santa is watching him, but he is not paying any attention to me.  He's not doing anything really bad.  He's just pushing me around.  Mama says he is strong like a bull.  Daddy says he is a bully.  If Daddy is petting me, Joey runs up and pushes me to the side and then he runs off.  He doesn't even want to be petted.  How could he not want to be petted?  I don't think I would ever get tired of getting a belly rub, but not Joey.  He likes them, but he doesn't like to sit still long enough for one.  He's one strange boy.  Actually, I'm beginning to think that all boy dogs are crazy!

Okay, I just have to say it.  Have you seen the size of Joey's tongue?  It's huge.  Mama should crop it in the photo.  It's going to ruin our Christmas cards.  Joey said that if his tongue gets cropped, then my tail should be cropped.  Yes, I have a long tail, but it's not taking over the entire photo!  Boys!

We Saw Santa!

That's right, I asked the big guy if he could bring Joey a clue because he is totally clueless.  Just look at him!  I probably would have let it go except this morning he stepped on me.  I was laying on the floor and he was busy looking everywhere but where his feet were and he stepped on me.  Mom warned him to be careful, but he did it anyway.  Mama says that he has ADD.  His attention span is about 3 seconds.

Anyway, Santa said he didn't know if he could bring Joey a clue, but he would try.

Happy Birthday Miss Scout!

Today is my special day.  I am 6!  Here are some photos from my past.

Mama asked me if I wanted a toy or treats and I chose treats.  I'm getting those after dinner.  Mama also gave me some coupons that I can redeem at any time.  They are for belly rubs, ear rubs, butt rubs, car rides, walks and treats.  Should I use them all in one day or spread them out?  It would be a heck of a good day if I used them all in one day.

Mama's Christmas Present Is Here

Mama saw something last week that she just had to have.  Daddy said if she wanted it, she could get it for Christmas, so she did.  It arrived a few minutes ago.  Do you want to see it?  It was hard getting a full picture of it because it's so big!

It's a blanket with our pictures woven into it!  It's really big and soft.  Mama designed it and chose different fonts for our names to match our personalities.  She really likes it! 

She found a coupon for Groupon and so she got it for half price.  She found another coupon for Groupon that appears to be active today, if anyone is interested: Groupon   The company is PhotoWeavers  They have a video on the website that shows you how they make the blankets.  The ordering was really easy.  The hardest part was picking out the pictures she wanted to use.  They tell you if the quality is not high enough and there were a few photos that Mama wanted to use of Jack that she couldn't.  I had to have a photo session for my photo because I didn't have any that she liked enough for the blanket.  She finally got one of me that she loves.  I think I look pretty good on a blanket.

Mama is not getting anything for telling everyone about the blanket.  She just likes to share when she finds something she likes and thinks others may also like it.  :-)

It's Not Saturday?

I thought today was Saturday.  This morning, Daddy was sitting in the recliner using the laptop, so it has to be a Saturday, right?  Nope, Mama said it's Thursday.  She asked me if I remembered watching Survivor last night.  I didn't remember that, but I don't pay much attention to the TV.  After she told me it was Thursday, I did my usual horse sound and went to sleep.  I was very disappointed.  Oh, my horse sound?  It's hard to describe, but I blow air through my mouth and I sound kind of like a horse.  Scout does it now, too which Mama thinks is really funny.  She doesn't know how I taught Scout to do it.

My leg is already returning to his regular size.  It had shrunk while it was in a cast and bandage.  Mama said she gives me a "C" grade for walking on it.  I'm doing better, but I still prefer to three-leg it.  We are working on it every day and it is getting stronger.

Mama is getting ready to work three jobs and she had to turn down a fourth one yesterday.  Do you believe that?  She only has one job that is permanent and the other two are more seasonal although she may be working them every month to stay active with the companies.  We just has to wait and see.   She discovered yesterday that she shouldn't take on hours after 4 p.m. because Scout and I don't like that.  We are ready to play at 4 p.m.   She is not allowed to have any background noise and we started whining.  She was very happy when her shift ended and so were we.  I really hope that she doesn't stress out as much with her training of job number three, like she did with job number two.  She was not fun to be around.   I really think she should just retire like me.  She would be much happier.
