Visiting Family on Christmas Eve

I have been really enjoying my Winter Break. My mom has been home more, and we have been going on some mini-adventures. On Christmas Eve, mom and I went to visit my great Granny. She was asleep when we got there, but I woke her up by hoping on her chair and she woke right up with a smile.



We then played a licking game. I am hoping my video uploads so that everyone can see and hear everyone laughing at our great game.



We have been taking care of my aunts and uncles while Gramma and Grandad are visiting my Uncle Tim and family in Florida. We haven't seen my uncle Orion in several days and mom and I are both getting a little worried, but he's part of the yellow animal club so he has to turn up eventually, right?

Mom and I are still dealing with mice in our house. We only see one at a time, but I got annoyed last night. There was one of the silly mice trying to get into my dog treats. I could hear it rustling around trying to get into my dog treat bags. So I barked at it and it ran away and into a little hole. Those things can squeeze into some tiney tiny places. Mom and I did catch one by luring it into my toys and then dumping them outside.



Mom says starting next week, I have to start practicing my dog school skills again. I am glad. I like routine, and showing off how smart I am. I hear that Gramma and Granddad are coming back to town on Tuesday. I helped mom come up with the best Christmas gift for them and my Aunts and Uncles...I can't wait to share.

I hope all my 2-legged and 4-legged friends have a great Christmas. I spotted my stocking and it has some new toys sticking out of it...so although I have other stuff I could share...it will have to wait!!



Merry Christmas!!

My Very First Mouse Hunt

It was a pretty boring week, with a few exceptions...


My mom said something about having mice in our house. At first, I had no idea what this meant. And then on Wednesday night, mom and I were getting ready to call a day and I spotted a little critter hiding behind the bathroom door. I barked and barked, but the critter seemed to be frozen in time. Mom finally came to see what I was barking at, and gave an "aha" there is a mouse. We then called for reinforcements. Mom put some white looking trap things, and gramma brought over my 2 uncles and 1 of my aunts. They are cats. Gramma says that my feline aunts and uncles like to catch and eat mice. So we had a sleep over!!! It was sooo cool having my aunt and uncles at my house. They were a little freaked out at first, and did a lot of exploring around my house. While they adapted to my house, mom and I went for a walk with the Runners World group. My mom was so out of it, she forgot to put on some shoes she can run in, but it was a nice walk. When we got home, it was time for KU basketball to play on TV. We all settled in and watched the game. Here's a picture of my uncle Orion, who took over the huge recliner, and my aunt Hannah, who took over my window seat.




Here is a great picture of me hanging out with my Uncle Orion!! We have a little club called the "yellow and white" animal club. Can you guess why?




My mom took me to hang out at the Dog Agility Trial on Saturday and Sunday for a couple of hours. It looked like so much fun jumping over stuff and running around in the dirt. At first I was really nervous, but once I figured out how it all worked I just sat on my mom's lap and took it all in.




I had to cheer on the little Pomeranian as she ran through the course. If I could put a little vision bubble above my head that would show me acing the course!!



I hope to spend the rest of this Sunday unwinding and hanging out. Of course as soon as I typed this, my mom and I just heard a weird sound...Mom says we caught a mouse in one of those white things...Wonder if my aunt and uncles are coming over again....
