[My] Life in Wisconsin

ARF! for 2008!!!

ARF! for 2008!

Yup, it's me again, "Punk"!

Didja miss me?
Well, I did start to write yesterday morning... And my "she" was pretty sick with her head again. I had to attend to her, or I would have finished my blog. The little one took her in for a shot. I got to ride along too! ~And I only barfed once! I haven't done that for a while, and am thinking that as long as 'she' was that way, that I should be too. (I think she is better today).

I started to write, and then thought I might do a few pictures...

And I went ALL the way back to January 1st of 2007...
It was so warm, (almost 50), and we had taken a walk to the woods. We still had no snow to play in, so I had to find something to play in...

.

I found the river!
.

.

And even tried to catch a fish!
.

.

.

I didn't last too long in there, but I sure had fun!
.
Once I get dried off at home, Mama Milly comes indoors too!
.

Mostly we behave...
.
And then it is time for my nap!
.

I love my naps!
.
.
Later on that same month was the little ones birthday!
They took lots of pictures, but I didn't even get a doggie bag!!!

..

First, the little ones friend Jenny Mella comes over and they get ready.
.

Jenny is LOTS of fun too.
('Cept she sat on my friend Sputty once).
.

"She" and that little guy, Gabriel!

.


Zoe and "Sassy" at The Olive Garden too!

.

.

There is ALWAYS lots of work to do...
.
And I help when I can too!
.

'She' started to trim the shrub,
and I pulled the tangled branches out.
.
.
.

A hard job, but I manage.
(Alone too).
.
Mama Milly is NO help.
.
She just sits and watches me!
.

Even AFTER I brought her a branch...
Maybe when I am 11 or 12 I can just sit and watch too.
But for now I am having fun.
.
.
I make a really big pile too!
.
Mama Milly just watches AGAIN...
.
.

.

But then it is time for my nap!
.

Did I tell you I love my naps??

.

.

The next month came, and really, I got LOTS of naps. It was so cold and snowy that it hurted my paws to play outside too long...

But we STILL got to take walks. Just shorter ones.

.

.

.

Mama Milly calls me a wimp when it snows,
cuz HER paws don't get too freezie like mine...
.

Mama hollers at me all the time!
But I hear tell that that is what Mamas are s'posed to do.

.

The other little one,
the WART,
got sick and went to the hospital to get her gallbladder out.
She died.
~Something about a 'vegas' nerve?
(But after about 20 minutes her heart was beating good all over again)!
YAY!
Oops, I mean "ARF" !!!

(She really didn't know any better)...

.


BUT, she was well enough to come home the next day even!

.

We played inside LOTS...
The little boy had a problem lifting the black bar...
.
.
.
So I showed him HOW it was done...
.
.
.
.

.

.

But then ONE of us dropped it on the Warts foot...
.

OUCH!
Er, I mean "ARF"

.

.


And so Mama Milly and I both had to take a nap.
I love naps!!!!
(Mama Milly, not so much)...
.
Besides, she usually naps out in the entrance when its so cold.
.
.
.

She even gets a blanket sometimes!

.

.

The little boy Gabriel has his own blanket too.
He can nap where ever he wants to...

.

Sometimes he even falls asleep on the floor!
.
.
.

Sometimes as soon as he is done eating...
..
.
.
My little one naps too...
.

Cuz lots of times she doesn't feel too good...
And then she won't play with anybody.
.
.
Some days she feels real good.
.
And other days...
.
she REALLY feels no pain!!!
.
.
.

...Even when she SHOULD be feeling it!
hehehe
.
Sometimes we go to a big place in Milwaukee called Froedtert.
This year we went about 5 times...
Those pics were taken there after one of her nasty surgeries.
.
.
.
.
Sometimes she makes herself be in pain too!
hehehe
Yes, she was riding that trike!
.
It was kinda hot that day.
And when it gets too hot, I get into my pool.
.
.
And it cools me right off!
.
.
I like the flowers too! They are all over the place!
.
Just not anymore cuz it's snowing AGAIN!!!
.
.
.
See what I mean???
.
And just like last year,
maybe Mama Milly and I can get some more "quality time"
TOGETHER!!

That's me, on the right.
My mama is kinda cute too...
.
.
And so, from BOTH of us, we would like to wish for you...
A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
.
.
A whole year full of your bowl being at least half full.
A whole year to be warm.
A whole year to be happy.
A whole year of flowers.
A whole year to be loved.
A whole year that nobody EVER has to go to the vet.
A whole year to be kind to everyone you meet and know.
A whole year of smiles.
A whole year of peace within.
And a whole year of being surrounded by those that love you!
A whole year of "quality".
A whole year of "enough".
AND,
A whole year of getting your naps at the right time too!
.
.
.

Mama Milly and ME too!
.
Here's a big "ARF" to start 2008 off right!!!
Love Always,
The Punk!
~~~
...time for my nap...
.

PS
My 'she' just came in from the cold. Said it's supposed to get really cold now.
Sheesh.
She also said to tell you that she has received word that 'maybe' she will be getting her old blog back. The note said something about the "engineering" department finally getting her complaint...
(maybe a just a teeny~weeny prayer then for that)?
