Trick Or Treat!! (Diesel)

I can't decide if I like Halloween or not- it's very exciting having people come to the door every few minutes, but when they wear a mask or carry light sabers and other big strange objects, which is pretty much always, I get very nervous and start jumping and growling... so mom and dad block us from actually getting close to the door... no fun. And, a holiday that's all about treats sounds really great in theory, but they aren't the kind of treats dogs are allowed to have, so all in all, I think I'm over it.

Like last year, mom decided to outdo herself in the pumpkin carving department and all the neighbors were very complimentary. You may remember mom's bulldog pumpkin from last year, well she found a different bulldog design this year and it looked awesome!

Looking forward to Thanksgiving- now THAT's a holiday about feeding scraps under the table to puppy dog eyed creatures!

A Sister on the Way (Lola)

So... for months now there's been talk around the house about a baby, a baby girl to be exact, and I have been secretly saying little prayers that another stinkin' puppy wasn't on it's way. But as the days and weeks go on and no puppy has shown up, I'm starting to sense that that's not the kind of baby we're expecting. You know, dogs have really keen instincts, and many people have been saying to Mom "oh, they know, dogs can just sense it..." Plus, Mom won't let us walk all over her (literally) anymore, and frankly, there's a lot more climb on!

My first thought... Oh great, another loud, needy creature to compete for mom and dad's attention.

My second thought... Diesel is going to eat the baby. Or love it to death. I can't tell.

But now I've quickly remembered something I've heard about baby humans... Apparently, these tiny newborn creatures eventually grow up a little and eat food. And, they are uncoordinated- mealtimes included. So maybe a baby won't be that bad after all...
