[My] Life in Wisconsin

PUNKIE Here... Hey, Where DID My Paw Prints Go????

ARF!

(Yes, it's me, Punkie)!

I have missed you all terribly! (Did YOU miss ME)?

This is what it looks like now; and the pictures below (of me and my mama) is what it looked like just yesterday morning!

Me................................................ Mama

Me and my mama got into a whole bunch of trouble yesterday... and my 'her' got really upset too; and just because we were fighting in the house. 'She' sure is mean like that! And 'she' made my mama go back outside, and then 'she' tells me "oh, go lay down."

Phhhhlllltttt!!! (So I did).

Later then, Roberta, along with that little guy Gabriel, Casey and Derek came to visit. Mama Milly came back in to see everyone too. Mama and me played for a while, (kissed Gabriel a whole bunch of times), ate up a whole bunch of food, (and then got in trouble a second time for fighting in the house)... Mama Milly is back outside in her kennel now, and everybody else is gone too. So it's pretty quiet here; 'cept for the furnace, and that seems to run a whole bunch.

Berta and Gabriel ....................................And he always brings me my bone too!

My her was on the computer after they left, and then I heard her call KC and tell her about a "winter storm warning" that was posted. (Now I'm not too sure what this means, because I'm only nine months old, but she sure didn't sound too happy). She told KC that it's going to snow and blow until late, late this afternoon; and that we should get about 8 inches of snow! For some silly reason I sure am glad I do not have thumbs, or I would have to help shovel. I would much rather just play in it... maybe even with my mama! 'She' also told KC about some bad windchills. Once again, I am not sure what that means, but I think she said it was "dangerous".. (and THAT sounds pretty bad).

I sure wish the little one still lived here, and my lady wouldn't have to worry so much about everyone.

My 'she' keeps telling me that I am a 'teenager' now, because, she says I act like one! (I really don't know if that's a compliment or an insult)!?!? Hmmmm... And 'she' also says that I am full of piss and vinegar too!

She says stuff like that but I know she still loves me just because I'm so darned lovable!

Yesterday morning Miss Kelli walked over with Mr. Miller, and I got to play outside with Mr. Miller while Kelli and 'her' stayed in the kitchen and talked for a while. This was a whole bunch of fun for me because I haven't seen Mr. Miller in a very long time! (He is very cool, and 'she' says he's just like my daddy)! Mama Milly and Mr. Miller like each other too; and we all have fun when they come to visit.

Miss Kelli and Mr. Miller walk a real long way to come over. They leave their own house, walk up the road and across the river, through the woods, cross the river again over the old snowmobile bridge; and then finally come up through the woods where we all play... Then they just have to climb the hill and walk out across the field to get here. Now I know they could get here a lot faster just by walking up the road, but then Miss Kelli says that Mr. Miller does not get enough exercise.

"Exercise"???? I'm not sure if I know what that is. But Miss Kelli says that Mr. Miller is too fat and too lazy. I guess maybe that's why he didn't want to play a lot when I was outside with him and Mama. But I like it when they come to visit and we can all sit outside too; but 'she' says it has to be warmer to do that. ...(Guess maybe she's fat and lazy too)! Ya think? (Ha ha, I bet I'll get in trouble for that one)... oh well...

We haven't gone down to the river in two whole days, (and that's a long time for me)... But I'm thinking that maybe we won't be going down there for a while, because 'she' told KC not even to go anywhere tomorrow! But I know that KC has to work, and then goes back to college on Tuesday. But by Tuesday, 'she' said all the snow should be pushed off the roads.

Now 'she' tells me I can't go by the road, (and I don't). But then tell me why she can! And she walks right across it too! Sometimes she brings stuff back with her, taking it out of the green box across the road. Sometimes this stuff makes her real happy, and at other times she just mumbles and throws this stuff on the table. (She's kinda weird like that). The stuff that ends up on the table usually gets put through this grinder~thing later. This grinder~thing makes a really loud noise and scares me. It's kind of like that other machine she pushes around the house, and it sucks up all my fur. That machine has two big white eyes, and I guess they just look everywhere for my fur. The machine finds it and then it just disappears! One day she opened up this machine, and took out all my fur and just threw it the garbage! That was kind of sick looking, kind of like she was throwing a "Baby~Me" in the trash. But 'she' wouldn't throw me away because like I said, I'm so darned lovable... hehehe!

...(Er, ...I mean "ARF")!

Now hang on for a minute folks, I have got to go outside. I will be right back...

... Okay I'm back!

It's getting a little chilly out there right now, so I guess it's not getting warmer yet...

...Since "she" hogs the computer all the time, I haven't written a blog in awhile... and so I haven't written about that big huge day we had...

...Lots and lots (and lots) of people came over that day, and they all brought their little people too! A couple of those little people were scared of me, so mostly I had to stay in the entrance, (but everybody else that came in or went out talked to me and petted me). Again, I wasn't too sure exactly what was going on, but I know that my person was really really happy!

... and Ha ha,. Get this, 'she' even brought a tree into the living room! I think this is really crazy~funny, because there are so many trees everywhere outside. (She really must like those trees a whole lot to want one on the inside too)!

And then she put a lot of shiny balls on it! It looked really pretty... at least I thought so... But she must not have agreed with me because now it's gone again. (I wonder if when she gets another tree and brings it in the house that maybe all those people will come back)? It was so much fun! ... and my house smelled just like Doggie~Heaven! And, there was food everywhere!!! I got to clean the floor, and I also got leftovers! (My mama and I usually get leftovers, and I guess that's pretty nice of 'her' to share)...

Anyway, the night before everyone came over I saw the strangest thing...

... After my people had gone to sleep, I thought I had heard something... I came downstairs, and there was a big fat man in a red suit, in the living room! (I was so doggie~shocked that I didn't even bark)... He was really really big, and he had a full lot of fur on his face too! He gave me a treat, (and I knew then it was a very good thing that I hadn't barked ~or growled). He put all bunches of pretty boxes under that pretty tree; (and even some for me and my mama too)! It was really cool, and when everybody woke up the next morning, they saw that the man had been there, and they were very happy.

It was the best day ever!!!

(Like I said, I hope she brings another tree in the house, and soon)!

-----------------------------------------

Okay, it is much much later now... I just came in from outside again, and that white stuff is falling from the sky; and a whole lot of it! But 'she' wouldn't let me stay out there, and even though I "woofed", she wouldn't let me go back out.

...Like I have said a hundred times already, she's mean! Mean! MEAN!!!

...But it was really weird this time was when I went out there, that white stuff completely covered up all my paws; and I guess it is pretty cold too.

Uh, Oh... I have just peeked out the door in the entrance, and I can't even see my pawprints anymore!!! I wonder where they went???

It's all white, all over. Pretty cool huh?

--------------------------------------------------------

And now it is morning... But it is not light, so I am going right back upstairs after I finish this and go sleep some more...

.
.

I went outside again, and there sure is a lot of the cold white stuff out there. "She" has the "talking picture box" on, and it keeps going 'beep'! (Guess that has something to do with the white stuff outside). And my mama won't even come out of her cozy house to see me, so I just peed, pooed and came back inside.

I had to sniff the white stuff, and sneezed a whole bunch when I came back in. And then 'she' has to flash me again...

.

.

Am I cute enough with some white stuff on my nose???
.
.

I don't know where it went either, maybe I licked it off, but it is gone now; so like I said, I am going to go back to sleep!

.

.

...And I am going to stay right there until I hear my 'she' gets ready to go outside.

.

.

...Then I will go out with her, and maybe we can play. (Maybe my mama will come out of her house by then too)! I can't wait! But first to go back to nap!!!

A very big "ARF" to all of you today!!!

Love Always,

The PUNK!

.

Yup, this is me and my "she"...
See, I told ya!!! I am just SO darned loveable!!!!
