All alone....

It happened. My snoring has gotten me kicked out of my spot beside the bed. I'm a sad pup.

Zzzzzzz

I need help. Seriously. I snore. I snore loudly. My girl says it sounds like an old man is in the bedroom. I snore so loudly that even after my girl kicks me out of the bedroom and I go sleep in the hall or the study, she still hears me. All you dogs know that a dog is supposed to sleep in the bedroom to protect their humans. My girl is so upset with me waking her up multiple times during the night that she is threatening to ban me from the bedroom at night. How am I supposed to make sure she is okay if I can't be near her?

Does anyone know a way for me to get my snoring under control? I was thinking maybe those breath right strips that people use might help but my nose is too fuzzy to stick them on.

My weekend

Here I am, one very happy dog on a CAR RIDE!!! I almost got to go on a very long trip when my boy and girl decided to drive down to the ocean this weekend. They were worried they wouldn't be able to find a hotel that allowed dogs so I got left at my boy's parent's house. That was okay though. They bought me tennis balls and we played together and had a lot of fun. Stella, who you cannot see in this picture because she is curled up in a little ball as she is afraid of CAR RIDES (silly girl) had a lot of fun playing with our cousins Crazy Daisy and Molly. The people were told not to give me any of their food but I still got lots of treats and I got to take naps on the sofa all I wanted (my girl and boy don't allow us on the furniture). My boy's parents were so impressed at how well all four of us dogs got along and behaved that they said we can come back anytime we wanted. I had only been there once before and wasn't taken back because I wasn't nice to Molly the first time. It was right after I first came to live with my boy and girl though and was really nervous. I'm much more laid back now.

We are all back home again now. Hopefully there will be another fun CAR RIDE again for me in the near future.

Happy birthday Stella!

Yesterday was Stella's birthday but no one was home to celebrate it so we will pamper her today. She had some yummy turkey bacon and apples for breakfast and is laying in her favorite sunbeam spot enjoying a nice birthday nap. Later we are going over to Bon-it's house to play and eat more good food.

If you saw the way she runs around all the time with her tail wagging at the speed of a hummingbird, you'd never believe that she is now five years old. I think when she is my age, everyone will still think she is still just a young pup. I guess I will be nice to her today and let her play with my favorite toy, the Kong Wubba. And if she destroys it, maybe my girl will get me a new one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STELLA!

New Job?

Good news. My girl told me that she is working on getting me a couple of new jobs volunteering at 2 hospitals. One is at a hospital for children. My girl said not to get too excited just yet because before we would be allowed to go we have to complete a lengthy process interviewing and training. She is still waiting for more information on the other hospital as to what we would need to do to set up visiting it. I'm really hopeful about getting to go to at least one of them. A bored Border Collie is a sad Border Collie. And I'm tired of having to keep Stella company all the time. She stole my favorite toy and I haven't quite forgiven her yet.

Floor cleaning

This is just a little note to any humans that read this blog.

If your dog that normally sleeps all night without disturbing you (other than a little snoring) tries to wake you up, do not ignore that dog. If, in the morning when you do finally get up after ignoring the dog, you discover a big smelly mess on the floor, do not blame the dog.

Boring!!!

I'm still around but I haven't had anything to share lately. I don't get to go to work with my girl anymore because she changed jobs. She also works later hours and doesn't have time to take me for visits to the nursing home in the evenings either. We've gotten lots of snow and everyone is just wanting to stay home. No CAR RIDES, no visits, no playing outside in the garden. Just laying around and being bored.

I can't wait until spring when everyone will want to be outside and to play again.
