Army of One

The rest of my winter

2007-03-25T19:05:00.000-04:00

After skiing, we went shopping in Whitefish.
Mmmmm, chocolate! Look, me and Mommy have matching jackets.
We ate at this restaurant that had all these heads hanging on the wall.
When we got back to Helena, I got to play with Bams again! Here we are completely konked out from wrestling all morning.
for Christmas, I got a bunch of clothes.
Cute sweater, innit?
When we came back to DC, it snowed like crazy.
Daddy and I made a snowman. But it melted the next day.
And I get to stay warm in Daddy's arms. We love snuggling together.

My winter part I

2007-01-08T15:26:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone. I have been having so much fun frolicking around this holiday season, I haven't had the time to post and update you on my life. I've been growing fast, but I'm still the smallest dog on the block! Here is a photo-story of my holidays!

For Thanksgiving, my cousin Bambi came to visit me from California. Here's Bambi trying on my scarf. It looks even better on her than on me!

I'd never met Bambi before, and Mommy told me she's a little bully. She did growl at me when she first came over, but then we quicklyt became friends and she loves to wrestle too! Here are some shots of me beating up on her:

Man, Bams is half Chihuahua and half Min-Pin, so she's got so much energy. I was totally konked out when she left. I must have slept for days! I like sleeping in front of the fireplace.

Then for Christmas, I took my first plane ride to Montana to meet my family up there. I met my great grandpa, and my grandpa, and all these aunts and uncles too! I met my cousin Heidi, who's too old to play with me, and saw Bams again!

First Mom, Dad, and I took a roadtrip to a ski resort in the north. Here's me in the car:

We made alot of stops to see the beautiful scenery. Here's me with a classic American landmark:

Check out all the snow I got to play in!

And Mommy and Daddy wanted to see the place where they will get married next Summer, so we stopped at Holland Lake Lodge to check it out. It was so beautiful! There was no one there so it was so quiet except for some strange wildlife calls. The lake was totally frozen over, so when I was running around, I actually ran onto the ice! When I realized I was standng ontop of water, I tried to run back to land, but I slipped and slid all over the place. Then all of a sudden, I heard this strange sound, like a laser shot across the lake, and it echoed off all the mountains. It was so spooky, it scared me, but Mommy said it was just the sound of ice cracking in the middle of the lake.

Check out those mountains in the background! I hope they still have snow on them in the summer.

Here's the main lodge building:

Then we stopped in Bigfork for lunch. It was a cute little town, but had all these fance schmancy art galleries all over.

Mommy carried me around in my bag:

After more driving around and looking at a few more potential wedding sites, we finally made it to Big Mountain. We stayed in a nice condo with a great view from the balcolny!

It's Fall!

2006-11-14T18:06:00.000-05:00

It's Autumn now, and all the leaves are falling from the tree. The leaves are so fun to play in. I like to run really fast and skid across the curtyard and watch all the leaves fly up. Here I am looking cute. That is, if you can find me in all those leaves!

And it's getting cold now so my parents are lighting fires in the house. I LOVE sitting by the fireplace to keep warm.

My Mommy's been busy working on her papers lately so she hasn't had alot of time to play with me. Sucks... Oh well, Thanksgiving is coming soon, and my cousin Bambi is coming to visit, and we're both going to visit my other cousin Rummy! Yipee!!!

Cruzin the Web

2006-10-16T21:50:00.000-04:00

Last night while Daddy was sleeping and Mommy was studying, she let me stay up and sit next to her and browse the internet. There are some really cool sites out there! Like here's where I check out the latest in health care issues, and I like browsing for celebrity pooch pictures. Check this one out, the poor pooch is smaller than his Mommy's boob! Hahahahaha! This is where I get the latest on celebrity dog gossip. I need to shop for a Haloween costume.

This is where I like to shop for the latest fashions.

This guy I found on the Web is really cool. His name is Shooter, and he even drives relaly nice cars. I wish I could get to know him better. He was cute as a puppy, but now he's got such nice long hair! How I long for hair like his....
This is shooter's friend Alex. His site is not as cool as Shooter's but probably cuz he's younger. He's kinda got a creepy smile.

The worst show ever!

2006-09-09T01:42:00.000-04:00

OMG, the other day, my parents made dinner and sat down at the TV table to eat it and popped in a Netflix like they always do. Normal. Then, all these dogs came on screen! I was intriuged at first, and I started watching it with them. Turns out it's this horrible show called Dog Whisperer, and it stars this mean guy named Cesar Millan. They watched several episodes, and they were all pretty much the same. It always has a happy dog that doesn't listen to everything its parents want it to do. So the parents call Cesar Millan, and he goes over to their house and "re-trains" the dogs. But he's basically just training the parents how to be a mean pack leader. He always keeps the dog on a tighht leash whhen he trains it. So guess what, my mom pulled out the leash too! and she made me wear it around the house so that I can't hide under the table anymore, because she can just pull me out by my leash! She's trying to be the pack leader here, and I don't know if I like that. Cesar Millan said that a dog should get affection not wheen they want it, but when the parent is willing to give it. But my mommy ALWAYS wants affection. I can't snuggle with her THAT much. Gosh, I just wish my parents wouldn't watch these shows. Can't they just let me do what I want? I don't neeed discipline!!

I can't wait until Christmas

2006-08-24T23:56:00.000-04:00

I was born in Tennesee in February, and it wasn't very cold there. I moved to DC at the end of April, and it was already warm then. So I've never seen snow in my life. I can't wait! And I'm going to ask Santa for this awesome Juicy Couture parka so that I won't freeze to death! Isn't it the cutest?!?!?!

My Country Home

2006-08-23T23:16:00.000-04:00

This is my Aunt Emy. I like her because she always gives me yummy food. She's really good at training me too, she taught me how to hi-five.

We went to see her on her birthday. And it was fun because I got to play with my cousin Rummy!

Rummy is my best friend!

And even though it was Aunt Emy's birthday, I got a bunch of presents! It's all seafood! The big one is a blowfish. My Daddy loves eating blowfish. He even wrote a story about it. It makes Grandma very nervous, because she said he can die from eating blowfish!

Usually I go ballistic around Rummy, because I like to wrestle with him. But sometimes we get tired. I always try to snuggle with him, but he doesn't like snuggling with other dogs. Just humans! So wheh I get too close, he growls at me. But sometime, I'll be really sneaky and slowly back into his arms while he's sleeping, and he doesn't notice!

There's a river behind Grandma and Grandpa's house, and Rummy likes to swim in it.

Not me though, I'd rather stay on dry land! Mommy tried to trick me to go out on the water with some crummy treats...

My Daddy

2006-07-26T22:56:00.000-04:00

I can only guess what my Daddy was like when he was a kid. Aunty Emy, did he go around wrecking all his toys? Cuz that's what he did with mine! First he left my football at the dogpark, and then he came home and stepped on my aloha sushi fish! Now he's mad at me because I just flipped my water bowl over. It sounded like a fun idea. But the fun was short-lived and now I'm in trouble. Well, bed time anyway.

My teeth are gone!

2006-07-24T21:56:00.000-04:00

I had such a long day yesterday, I was pooped all day today! On the weekends, I always wake Mommy up by licking her nose, but on the weekdays, she wakes me up by kissing my forehead. She went to work early as usual. Daddy usually takes me for a walk, but today he went to work early too. But before he left, he made me a Kong. So I spent all morning trying to get lamb jerky out of the little hole. then I slept. Then I played with the hawaiian sushi fish that Uncle Jim gave me. Then I ate some lunch and fell asleep again. I feel weird. So I'm losing my baby teeth, and all my front teeth are gone, so my tongue keeps hanging out of my mouth! Sometimes, it just gets dry. Anyway, then Daddy came home, then Mommy. And Mommy made me go on a walk, even though I didn't want to. I tried to just sit down, but she made me get up and walk anyway. We ran into two of her friends. They said I was cute, but they were like scared to pet me. Whatever, I just played with the big dogs that walked by. Then we came home, and Daddy was back from the gym. They made sushi for dinner, and they weren't giving me any, so I started to whine. It almost worked. Daddy stared to give me some fish, them Mommy yelled at him! Mommy's so mean. I can't believe she wont let me have any sushi! *Yawn*

See, my all my front teeth are gone!

So sometimes my tongue just hangs out.

I got an itch.

Great Falls

2006-07-23T21:48:00.000-04:00

So guess what? Daddy told me he was taking us to Great Falls because he wanted me to run around in nature. But he lied. he took us there because he wanted to propose to Mommy! I can't believe for once it wasn't all about me! It was really fun. There were lots of trees, and rocks to climb all over. We took some pictures by the waterfall, and we went hiking. Then we turned off the trail and sat on these big rocks on a cliff and watched the river fgo by. I was actually starting to get bored. I mean, why just sit there, I wanted to go run around! But then while Mommy gave me water, Daddy took out a red box and made this speech about how much life has changed for hom because she got him to paint his house purple and green, and do outdoorsy stuff, and they got me, and all, yada, yada yada. then he got down on his knees and actually proposed. So of course, Mommy said yes, and now they get to get married. And Mommy got a really nice ring. Then it got kinda gross because they kept hugging and kissing. Geez, enough already! Then wee finally got to get up and keep going down the trail. And we followed a creek that was all rocky and we went to play down by the river. I was scared, but Mommy held me. then we left.

And we went to go see cousin Rummy. He's my best friend. I haven't seen him in two weeks! So we had great fun. Usually he bullues me and eats my food at dinner, but this time, when he tried, I growled at him and he backed away. Ha! Just cuz he's bigger than me doesn't mean he can always eat my dinner! And then Aunty Emy brought us to Grandma and Grandpa's house, and we begged for more food as the adults had steak. Everyone wass all happy, but I just wanted to play with Rummy. He's my best friend.

That's me and Daddy at the waterfall.

This was our private view of the river when Daddy proposed to Mommy.

Here's my parents!

This is me and my cousin Rummy.

He's my best friend!

My new blog

2006-07-23T12:36:00.000-04:00

Yay, Mommy finally let me start my own blog! She said now I'm old enough to be a responsible internet user. Haha, wee'll see about that! --Just kidding!
Anyway, we have a lot of catching up to do. I'm already five months now! In dog years, that's almost three years! I'm a big girl now, and almost not even a puppy anymore. So I am going to share with you all my childhood moments, my present life, and my hopes and dreams to come. I hope you enjoy my blog!

I gotta go now. Daddy just told me we are going to go hiking in Great Falls today. I hope that doesn't mean swimming too! I'll tell you all about how it goes later.

Ciao!
