Two Polar Bears Are Better Than One...

 Meet my new bear friends. People at the Zoo were calling them Bi and Polar. I renamed them though...

Polar and Express. Much better if you ask me :)

Sit, Rabbit, Sit.

Meet my new friend, Rabbit. He doesn't do much, unlike Howie who acts like he's on steroids half the time. Rabbit just looks around and stares. I've been trying to get him "out of his shell" by teaching him a few tricks...

Speak, Rabbit. Okay, maybe later, buddy.

Roll over, Rabbit. Uh, we'll try again tomorrow.

Fetch, Rabbit. Who am I kidding? Turtles have more energy than this guy.

Someone said rabbits don't move when they're scared. Maybe that's the problem? I scared him silly by pointing at him??? Poor thing. He must not be very smart is all I can say...

When those crazy kids point their fingers at me I don't freeze up. No way. I haul.

I Love A Good Outdoor Sink...

I don't know who thought of outdoor facilities but they are quite handy.

I sloshed around all day in that sink. Just me and the birdie.

Sweet. Or should I say tweet...

Too bad I couldn't find the latrine.

I Can Be Very Quiet, You Know...

I watched two swans swim for quite a while the other day. Quite an achievement if I do say so myself - since there were times I was even afraid to breathe! (Hey, I didn't want to scare them away, you know.)

Anyway, since swans like breadcrumbs, and since I'm all about sharing ...I was happy to feed them lunch. I can tell you two things for certain:

1. Swans are very fast and can catch and devour a crumb in mid flight...

2. Peanut butter makes them choke.

I Have Chores, You Know...

Sometimes, it's not easy being me. Like today. Howie needs to be bathed, brushed, and walked.

The bathing part is easy. I just toss him in the tub with me.

The brushing part. Well, his fur makes me sneeze, but I do what I have to do.

The walk? Heck, he follows me wherever I go. Even when I stroll over to the Grand-neighbor peeps house...

So much for electric doggie fences.

Bandit Cracks Me Up...

Do you all remember Doggie Bandit, my second favorite little fur-ball? I like Bandit a lot, mainly because we are so much alike:

He's cute. So am I.

Bandit drinks water from a dog dish. Me too.

He barks when he wants something. I put the "W" in woof, you know.

We both enjoy snooping around garbage cans. Hey, Bandit and I aren't proud. We take what we can get.

Bandit is just plain funny. And.. I've been known to make a few people chuckle, too.

What's Up With Those Sunglasses, Howie???

OK, so I know why Howie The Puggle is wearing sunglasses. I'm embarrassed to say that he is sporting a black eye.

I smacked him up side the head. I know it wasn't a "nice hands" type of reaction, but he was having trouble understanding that I don't appreciate drool all over my John Deere shirt. Anyway, I'm feeling bad, but I'm all about discipline, and he needed to learn that no means no...

Unfortunately for me, my Mom and Dad must be all about discipline, too. Owen K. is in the doghouse now instead of Howie. Poor me.

I Thought Howie Was My Friend...

Doesn't Howie look sad? He should. I can't believe what he did last night, right in front of my very eyes no less...

He mauled and chewed my favorite rubber duckie to smithereens, then spit him out like an old shoe. I'm so sad. I loved that duck like a brother.

Hello Down There...

I'm almost ready for my six month check-up with the Doctor...

Being that I'm always prepared, I wanted to know what the inside of an ear looked like.

So, I snapped up a cotton ball, soaked it in ear wash, and rubbed inside the nooks and crannies of Lucy's ear. Guess what I saw????

Nothing. It was too dark.

I hope the Doctor has a flashlight handy when he checks my ears.

Meet My New Friend Bandit...

I make friends pretty easily. Some of my friends have two legs, some have four...

Bandit, as you can see, is my new best friend. He doesn't chew on shoes and his conversational skills are wonderful.

If I had one word of advice for my new best friend, it would be to invest in a breath mint. Other than that, Bandit is perfect.
