A Bit Under The Weather

Well today was not a good day for me. I was feelin a bit under the weather. Something did not agree with my tummy. When Mom & Dad came home they found me fast a sneep on top of my crate.






They also walked into a poop, vomit, and pee surprise. I got sick all over the house. I even got sick in my dog cave.

Well while Mom and Dad were busy cleaning up the mess I left for them; I unknown to Mom & Dad went through the grocery bags Mom had just brought home. I found some yummy cherry tomato's which I had out all over the dining room floor when Dad came down to get more cleaning supplies. Ooops... he was not happy to find this surprise.


Not being the picture of health he could not get mad at me.
















Mom decided to make me a special dinner to help settle my tummy. She made me rice and flounder, mixed with a little apple sauce.













It was very tasty and I didn't leave a crumb.













I licked the bowel so clean I could actually see my reflection in the bottom of the bowel.













After dinner I felt much better and was feelin like my old self.


My beards still a little ripe so no Luna Licks tonight.

Woof at you soon.

Someone Has Got Their Facts Mixed Up

Hello to all my friends. I don't know who came up with the definition but my blog has been suffering from NBS, "Neglected Blog Syndrome".

Now as those of you who live in PA, NJ, NY, and parts of MA know, we got upwards of 14" of the white stuff dumped on us back on March 2nd. Now you be the judge of who should be giving back their bonus especially if they received any federally funded treats from President Obama.



This was the view out my front door. I guess we can't go for a walk this way.
















This was the view out my back door. We can't go out that way. We will have to try the garage door. Pssss... Dad made the mistake of opening the sliding door and he wound up with a pile of snow in the livingroom. He had to use a shovel and broom to get the snow back outside so he could close the door. WAAAAAA it was hilarious.








I was finally able to get outside through the garage. We would've needed a sled to come down the front steps.











The wind was sure blowing. I made the mistake of jumping into a snow drift. I looked like seal flopping around on a beach, not good.










I had one heck of time trying to locate any good pee-mail, but it was fun frolicking in the snow.

Luna Licks to you all.

Happy Saint Patty's Day & Happy Birthday Melissa

Just a quick post to wish everyone a Happy Saint Patty's Day and to wish my human sister Melissa a Happy Birthday. We are going to her house later for a Happy Birthday dinner. I will stare laser beams into the weak parent (Mom) and surely get some table scraps.

Grooming Road Trip

Well as you know from my last post Mom and Dad took me on a long journey upstate NY so Mom could learn how to hand strip me. I usually fall asleep in the car but we were taking roads I never had traveled on. I think I fell asleep about halfway through the drive which was ruffly 4 - 5 hours or so I'm told.






After a nice nap I finally woke up when the car came to a stop in our cousin Alexa and Dan's driveway. They have a big beautiful old house. I left a little pee-mail in the driveway and then in the house I went I ran right past my cousin Alexa to explore their house.













Oops! Whats this? A new furry cousin. This is Lilly, she was a very gracious hostess and greeted me with open paws.



















Lilly was very happy to meet a new cousin.




















Dad and Cousin Dan took me for a walk around Altamont to checkout the village. The night before we left I got a bath so I would be nice and clean for my grooming. Well when I got back to the house after walking through snow and slush, lots of slush I could have used an under carriage washing.

Well the next morning Mom, Dad, and I took a ride to Mr's Morris house for my grooming. We were driving and driving until there was nothing around but trees and the occasional horse.













It turns out Mr's Morris is Smitty's grandma. What a small world. When we went into the kennel there were a bunch of dogs staying with the Morris's for vacation. They were very excited to see me. Lots of barking and wet noses peering over the wall.

Now I have to apologize for not having a lot of pictures of my grooming. Since Mom was learning how to hand strip me, Dad was busy using the video camera so Mom would have something to refer to.

Caroline got to work and Mom was taking notes and Dad was video taping. Dad would never make it in Hollywood, at one point he put the camera down and forgot to stop recording so we have about 7 minutes of the coat pile and sound. Mom will just have to fast forward through that. Well after about 3 hours of plucking we took a break for lunch. I looked kind of silly actually as the the only part that still needed to be done was my head. So I had a stripped body and a scruffy head.





















After lunch Caroline finished my head and here I am getting the finishing touches and inspection. Caroline said I was a very good girl during my grooming.























After we were done Mom put on my dreaded coat, since my natural coat was now all over the floor. I hate wearing a coat but it was quite nippy out.




















It was getting late and it was time to drive back to Alexa and Dan's house.














On the way back Dad had to stop for a photo op. He found a street sign with our last name on it. He almost got us stuck in a ditch when he pulled over, thank goodness for 4 wheel drive.




















When we got back to Alexa and Dan's I ran right in to show Lilly my new do.






She was ecstatic with delight.




















Here I am with cousin Alexa getting a back scratch.









The humans decided to go out for dinner so we got good girl treaty's.















The next morning it was time to pack up the truck and head back to Long Island.


Thank you to Alexa and Dan for putting us up in their beautiful home and Thank you Lilly for being a great cousin. Maybe you can come visit us this summer.


After 4 hours of driving we went from lots of snow and cold to almost no snow and temps in the 5o's.

I had a very nice weekend although I would've rather spent 4 hours playing with Lilly than standing on a grooming table. I got to meet new cousins and see new places. It was very taxing and I finally crashed when we got home.










I want to thank Caroline for teaching my Mom how to groom me. One can only hope she took good notes and I don't wind up looking like Mr. Bigglesworth.






Bye for now your friend...

My Third Birthday

As of Tuesday I'm 3 years old. My morning started off as usual. I woke around 6AM to the sound of the heat kicking on. Down the stairs I went to warm up my tootsies by the vent in the diningroom. Mom made my breakfast and off to stupid work she went. Dad came down shortly there after to take me for my walk and off to stupid work he went.

I took my usual morning nap up in my dog cave, Mom and Dad refer to it as the spare bedroom, hey let them think what they want. After my morning nap I woke up to check for trespassers. It was snowing and I'm stuck here in the house.














I checked out the back window, same thing here. This is bowing, time for another nap.




















I didn't know Mom came home until I heard the clicking of the camera.




Notice my new hairdo.


































After the photo shoot I followed her down to the kitchen to watch her get dinner ready. Mom made chicken and garlic roasted cauliflower. Now you all know that garlic is great for keeping those pesky fleas away. Little did I know that Mom was preparing a special birthday dinner for me.



























Garlic roasted cauliflower and chicken.














Dad came home while Mom was making dinner. I heard the crinkle of a bag and it is my job to inspect all packages coming into the house.



















What does he have?









It's a birthday present!!!





















I took it and off I went to inspect it. I have to figure out how to rip off his eyeballs and silence that squeaker thing. I know it's in there somewhere. I will have to call Jackson later and ask him what the best strategy is.






















Well dinner was finally ready. I could hardly contain myself, the camera couldn't keep up.















Mom was full of surprises. She whipped up a special desert treat for me.














I was so excited that my eyes practically bugged out of my head.














I couldn't have brownies like Mom and Dad because Mom says they are too fattening.














Well stay tuned for pictures from Albany and Mom's grooming education.

A Long Journey

Hello to all my friends. I have been away from my blog for a while. Happy New Year wishes to all and thank you again for all the Christmas cards. I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. Here are some pictures from Christmas morning.

I woke up to the familiar smell of bacon.
















It is amazin what sad puppy dog eyes will get you.






















After breakfast I got to checkout what Santa Paws brought me. There sure is something in here that smells good.





























Look a wire harried penguin.














I'm sure you are wondering what this has to do with a long journey. Well Mom, Dad and I are going up to Albany this weekend so Mom can learn how to hand strip me. As you can see from the next photo, I'm having a bad hair day.




















Well the next time you see me I won't have my scruffy winter coat. I know Mom will be under the tutelage of an expert but I have to admit I'm a little nervous how this is going to turn out.



Well stay tuned next week for a look at my new hair do.

Luna Licks,
