Um where are we going, Mom?
Dad and I are going to South Carolina to welcome our students, Storm. We will be back Monday.
What fresh Hell is this?! Why do you have to welcome the students? They don't need welcoming.
Yes they do, they are far from home and we need to make them happy.
What about me?! I'm not happy when you're gone, and neither is M&M and Z hasn't been left at all! Joey needs drugs, he gets so upset.
It will be okay, Storm, we will be back before you even miss us.
Hmmmmp! I already miss you!!
I know.....
19/07/2023
So... our parents were gone for years. (2 days they claim). They arrived home with our Solved Mystery Sister!
Z is very sweet, she nuzzled me, licked Joey who then fell over, and pounced on the cats to lick them.
Spencer calls her Baby Dog, since she is small and she seems to like him just fine. (Unlike me)
Z is like a big hamster, and it seems like she has always been here.
Soon, we move to our new house, which will make us all happy.
The adventures of the Divine MISS Z have begun!!
15/07/2023
The dreaded suitcase is lurking, I saw it! Mom reminded me that they are taking M&M to FL to pick up Miss Z and Joey and I are staying home.
Why does Z have to be picked up? Can't she just hop on a plane or hitch hike?!!
I will not be happy but I do have a nice blue wading pool to amuse myself with while they are gone.
The indignities I must suffer. At least Wyatt is coming over to play with us tomorrow.
Sigh.....
24/05/2023
Life is busy around here!! Our agency is crazy busy, and everyone is tired.
The summer is not quite here yet which has Mom happy! The bugs ARE already out though, which is not good.
I am happy to report that our future sister, the Divine MISS Z, has officially been de-puppyfied. Mom is happy because it means we really do get to bring her home in July and plans can't be changed for one last attempt at a non-stingy litter. That girl just likes to hand over 1 measley puppy at a time!!
We have been told that we are getting a pet nanny for when our parents are away. This nanny will give us undivided attention and care in the hopes we won't freak out so much. (Mainly me, but Joey doesn't do well either!)
This nanny is a vet tech at our doctor's office so she will take excellent care of us.
The Terrorist Toddler seems to have become a different boy. He listens, sits still, and actually does what he is told. Who knew this was even possible?! M&M and I still don't like him much, (except when he is eating) and we don't think he likes us either but we co-exist just fine. He seems to be more of a cat person, which is fine too.
Baseball season is in full swing so every night we watch games. I sit on Mom's footrest and growl at anyone who comes near. Mom tell me not to be such a schmuck!
It's going to be weird with 4 dogs, but Joey says once upon time we had FIVE! Miss Z will be our last dog according to Mom. We will see how that pans out......Joey was an only until I came, then M& M showed up and now Z. We have stocked up on bully sticks, cow ears and food, and both sisters got new blingy collars and leads. I hope they don't end up wearing goofy clothes......
I turned 11 a couple weeks ago. I got special food, ice cream and even cake. I was super happy until I had to wear some stupid hat. The things I have to put up with!!
Well, back to work now. I help Mom by sitting on her foot and sharing her snacks. I do try to be useful!
24/04/2023
Our parents are back!! They arrived at 6:00 and I was soooooo happy!! We helped unpack everything and the dreaded suitcases were put away. I hope never to see them again!!
I sat on Mom's feet and lap all evening, then slept on her feet in bed all night so she couldn't get away.
M&M jumped up and gave 2-3 kisses then ran off to chew her bully stick. Joey was happy to see Mom but taking a nap was more important so I was a one dog welcoming party.
Everyone is back at work now and I am a happy boy!!
23/04/2023
I have been pouting now for 4 days. Our wandering parents are coming home today. It better be soon!!
20/04/2023
Our parents are gone and I am not happy. To express my displeasure at this abandonment, I pooped on the floor and p*ed on the table leg. Brooke is not happy with me and I don't care one bit.
It's a long time until Sunday, I will create a whole lot of trouble until then.
Grrrrrr......
20/04/2023
I'm sitting on Mom's lap! Let's see her try to leave now!
Hey!! Dad just picked me up to eat! Drats! Not that I don't like the idea of breakfast, I like that, but now she can escape! Grrrr......
20/04/2023
Can you believe it?! Those OTTERS are packed and ready to go!! Moms suitcase is almost packed and no one is watching me pout!!
Joey is oblivious as is M&M, life is not happy for me right now!!
19/04/2023
THERE IS A DREADED SUITCASE IN MY ROOM!! Mom reminded me that the work trip is tomorrow, ending on Sunday. WHAT??!! I thought you had cooties!Cooties!! Mom laughed. (Such nerve)
Nope, Cooties are gone and at 8:00 tomorrow, we will be gone too!
I am not happy!!I will pout. Joey will pace, and M&M won't care one bit!!
Mom reminded me that they work from home 98% of the time but trips are necessary. I don't happen to agree but no one wants my opinion.
Dare I ask when the next escape is after this? Let me guess.... fetching Z. Oh terrific! Just peachy.
Oh, and of course the OTTERS get to go on tomorrow's trip. I am not happy!! Not one bit!! Maybe I should p*e on the suitcase......
15/04/2023
Drum roll please!! Mom has given me, (Finally!) permission to reveal the indentity of Mystery Sister!!
Half sister to M&M, full sister to the Fast & Fabulous Fennec, show dog extraordinaire, stingy puppy gifter, and a very distinctive faced girl.
Mystery Sister= The Divine MISS Z!!
Summer will bring heat, humidity and bugs, and our third Guerin!!
We are super excited!!!
14/04/2023
It's Friday Night Wine night!! Due to the Cootie case, last Friday was skipped but our parents seem to be Cootie-free now. Dad has no voice and neither one have any energy, but they are looking forward to Wine Night and baseball.
The work trip was postponed until next Thursday but I'm hoping for a third boutique of Cooties!! Then they have to stay home!
The time is getting closer to the arrival of Mystery Sister. Mom reminded me that, "Storm, you realize I have to go away for a few days when I pick her up, right?"
Um no. Just have them ship her FedEx! She doesn't need you to es**rt her!
"Yes she does and you will just have to cope!"
Me, cope? Ha!!! Coping is NOT in my DNA!!
I am told that Mystery Sister is most likely our last dog. With 4 of us, I should hope so!! M&M will no doubt steal all the bully sticks from Mystery Sister like she does me. I better warn her! This M&M takes bully sticks to bed now and I've rolled over on them and gotten poked. Sisters can be a pain and now I will have TWO!! Drats!!
Oh well, the challenges of life and the stuff I have to put up with!!
Happy Friday, everyone!!
09/04/2023
Well, it's Easter but our parents have Covid, for the third time since February!! We hope to have Raster dinner next Sunday.....fingers crossed.
We are hanging out with them trying to make them feel better but they are really tired of this crazy Covid. Who invented it and better yet, who let it escape from where it was invented?!
We are a little bored so Mom is letting us bring our bully sticks to bed with us. That helps!!
Mystery Sisters arrival is coming closer, and M& M is excited. I wasn't too keen on M&M joining our family at first but she is so friendly and sweet, not to mention adorable, so she was hard to resist. I just wish she wouldn't think she owns every bully stick and cow ear!
As long as this new sister doesn't try to steal my spot on Mom's chair, we are good. I've lived with her before at my old house so we will be fine. Mom is over the moon happy so I will have to cope, which is not my strong suit. At least our bed is big with plenty of room for one more.
The only good thing about our parents being sick is they had to cancel their trip!! Ha!
Oh wait, Mom just said it was POSTPONED to the following week. Drats!!
I have to go outside and check things out and find a new bully stick since M&M stole mine. Happy Easter everyone!!
18/03/2023
Our house has been the Cootie house for quite a while!! Mom & Dad are better, again, and Brooke is recovering. Again. It's been rather crazy.
Our parents have been working a lot, being sick doesn't slow them down much! We haven't been too helpful either, so our popularity rating is lower than normal.
As a form of retaliation, because i was disturbing everyones sleep, Mom told me there is another work trip next month, another 4 days!! What?! Not fair!!
I didn't think any trips were planned until it's time to pick up the mystery sister. Drats!
Speaking of mystery sister, she is enjoying being retired. Finally. No dog shows, no Camp Mammano, no more puppies!! (She is so stingy, 2 measly puppies from 2 different litters!!) I have to admit, they are pretty cute though. Mom is very excited her wait for this stingy girl is almost over and I'm hoping these 2 sisters won't be ganging up on me!!
Joey is doing fine, he is 16 1/2 now, and still going strong. His sight and hearing isn't great, so he walks on us and bumps into us and we gripe but it's fine. He doesn't see the mobile groomer anymore because he gets upset so Mom does his grooming. It didn't start out too well at first, he kinda looked like a small Afgan, but now he looks like a non-fluffy Joey, which works.
M&M has been on a diet and she looks really good now. Of course she isn't happy about this, but Mom said tubby dogs are not healthy dogs. M&M looked rather offended at being called tubby, so she p*ed on the throw rug in the bathroom. I know, I know, we can be naughty but they love us anyway. I think.
The Terrorist Toddler has been pretty good, and this summer he is going to camp then to pre-school. His parents seem to think he needs a life outside of home and I keep wishing he would go live in his OWN home. Mom said this year for sure, he will be moving!! Paws crossed. We will miss the food he shares with us when he is eating....
Well, I have to go check out all the bunnies that seem to be everywhere. Mom and the Terrorist are decorating for Easter....again. Some of these bunnies look EVIL!!
Save me!!
08/03/2023
Hello everyone!!
The weather here has been kinda warm but the weather lady said that Wednesday will see a cooling trend. Snow maybe?
So.....Mom decided to do spa day for us. Joey is getting his bath today since he doesn't shed so he is blow dried inside. M&M and I produce gobs of fur so Mom prefers that we are dried outside. A nice plus is that the squirrels get our fur for their nests.
Here we are, all sparkly clean!!
16/02/2023
Oh, Mom said she and Dad are staying home cause they have Cooties but Brooke and Michael are traveling until Sunday. Phew!
Oh wait! What about the Terrorist Toddler? Where will he be?
Here?! With us?! Oh why?????
My life is ruined.....until Sunday. Drats.
16/02/2023
There are suitcases again!!
30/01/2023
Our parents are home!! The dreaded suitcases are empty and back in the closets. It was a looooong weekend and I didn't like it one bit!!
Mom&Dad said they had a great time, (figures!!) but they are happy to be back with us. (Naturally!!) They did meet a Pomski and a Golden Retriever and admitted they petted them both. (The nerve!!)
We survived, it wasn't easy, that's for sure!!
29/01/2023
6:00 AM has come and gone. Drats!
28/01/2023
I am hanging in there as an orphan. I am not happy. I heard that our parents will be back tomorrow around 6:00. AM, right? Better be AM.....
26/01/2023
Drats!! There are SUITCASES in our bedroom!! Mom tried to hide hers but it didn't work!! I am NOT pleased!!
I have been informed that this is a short trip, mostly business. Does this mean there will be some pleasure? Hmmmm.....I like pleasure! What I don't like is being at home without our parents.
I have been giving Stink Eye, pouting, sighing (loudly) and those pesky suitcases keep getting more stuff in them.
Mom told us this is probably the last trip for awhile until the trip to Spain. Wait, Spain? Isn't that a foreign, far away planet? Eeeekk!
I am not a happy boy, not one bit. The fact that our parents spend every waking hour with us normally does not count. I will be sulking until Sunday, which seems like a whole month away. Drats!!
15/01/2023
Well, today M&M finally got our spa day!! We got all brushed and de-tangled outside then into the tub we went. Mom got us all shampooed and conditioned and rinced, then Dad helped towel dried us. We sat on a box in the bedroom because the garage wasn't warm enough. Mom dried and brushed us both at the same time with Dad helping. Joey watched. Now we are sparkling clean and the bedroom is being vacuumed because we have flying fur!!
We feel so much better!!
08/01/2023
Happy Sunday!! Christmas is now back into the attic until next season, although Mom says it will need to come down to move to our new house in the Spring.
We had fun with our Christmas card photos and everyone seemed to like them. Mom didn't buy too many new things at the after Christmas sales! That made Dad happy since he is one who has to pack it up and get it into the attic. Aunt Sue, however, called Mom a wimp for not buying more!!
Mystery Sister is doing great with her puppy. Mom said he is super related to M&M since puppy's father is a grandson of M&Ms father, and his mother and M&M have the same mother. Sounds complicated but Mom seems impressed.
We are in need of baths!! Mom said we will get them this week since it's not too cold to blow dry us in the garage with the heater on. Joey doesn't shed at all, so he gets dried inside. We make lots of fur piles so we are deligated to the patio or garage. Drats!
Mom has already decorated for Valentine's Day!! She doesn't waste time! Terrorist Toddler wasn't too happy that the Christmas trees came down. He refused to help and just pouted. He keeps us hopping for sure!
Tonight we are getting pizza! We hope we get some anyway. Mom said that since the antibiotics are finally gone, wine is a must!! Friday Night No Wine Night was a bust!! We were all in bed by 9:00!
We are supposed to get rain for the next few days so we will be inside mostly. Joey doesn't mind the rain but M&M and I are not fans! Easier to poo and p*e in the house, but that doesn't make us real popular. Oh well.
I see wine getting poured so maybe that means pizza will be coming soon!! Gotta run!!
05/01/2023
Well, I am happy to report that Mystery Sister has delivered a boy puppy. That's all I know other than her puppy producing days are now over!!
05/01/2023
Everyone has been rather sick lately. Well, the hoomans, not us. Michael is fine but everyone else went to see their doctors. Brooke and Michael had to cancel their trip to California so they are sad. Terrorist Toddler is happy his parents stayed home!
Our mystery sister is about to be a mom, again. She is rather stingy because she only has 1 puppy at a time. This will be her last puppy, we hear. By summer, she will be here to make mischief!!
Our weather has been crazy, freezing, summer-like and lots of rain. It sure isn't a normal winter!!
Well, it's time for breakfast, so I gotta run!!
20/12/2022
I am feeling just awesome since my dental and M&M has been scheduled for hers in February! I still can't eat anything hard or share the bullys or cow ears but that okay.
We are getting ready for Christmas and for some SUPER cold weather. Dad wrapped the pipes, and the pots of flowers are all being moved into the garage. Our parents are putting flannel sheets on our bed, a first. Mom is enjoying the cold, but I wonder if she will like the 11 degree temps!! Hehe
The Terrorist Toddler is hoping for snow. He has molds to make snowmen, what a cheater!!
He is having fun with Christmas this year and he has made all kinds of crafts to cover our walls. We look like a pre-school, but I have to admit that he sure draws well for 3.
Mom is working and trying to bake and wrap presents so by evening she is wiped out. She got a cool new chair that reclines, and has heat and massage and if you feel really lazy, the chair will kick you right out. It pretty cool.
No trips are planned that we know of although I'm not sure we will be informed ahead of time after how much we acted out during the last one. M& M and I are getting crated when we are alone now. We do naughty things so we are re-training. It's okay, we love our warm and soft crates.
Well, Terrorist Toddler needs his nap so I am going to hang out with Dad while Mom gets the little monster to sleep. Not an easy feat these days..
Bye!!
17/12/2022
I am happy to report that I am feeling quite good. My blood work was perfect and my mouth is healing nicely.
Mom caught a cold from all those trips, so she is home with me!! Karma! (That's mean, I know)
Mom getting sick wrecked everyone's weekend plans but I am happy that our parents are home with us and hanging out. We are wrapping presents and Mom is doing some work but at least I can sit on her foot and be close.
Terrorist Toddler is going to have cookies with Santa this afternoon, good thing I don't have to go. It's super cold out!!
M&M and Joey are in their beds staying warm. They are happy they aren't having to go see that Santa guy too!
15/12/2022
What fresh Hell is this?! It was still dark this morning when Mom packed me up and away we went. Road trip!! Yipp*e! Wait! Why are we at the veterinary hospital?! Oh no, I was too naughty and I am getting shock treatments? A nice man carries me away....Mom!! Don't leave me!!
Next thing I know, I am waking up in a hospital crate with a sore mouth a 6 less teeth!!
I nap. Suddenly, there is Mom!! I am going home!! I survived a dental and now I am home laying in my crate, hiding from Joey who suddenly thinks he is Joe Biden and wants to sniff me!
Stay tuned, I need to rest!
14/12/2022
So.....our parents finally returned. They have promised not to go away for a long time. I am happy to report that I did not p*e on the suitcase. Nope, I waited until they left and p*ed on other things and pooped on the floor!! 4 times!! Brooke is not too fond of me at the moment and I don't care a lick. I am naughty when I get mad, so get over it!! !
11/12/2022
The suitcase has stuff in it!!! Oh, I am NOT a happy boy!! Mom said she and Dad have to go to Florida, wherever the heck that is, on business. I think it might be a foreign country!
Might I remind you parents that you just got back after abandoning us for a month?!!
Mom said they will be back no later than Tuesday. Does she realize Tuesday is days away?!!
What is going on?! Maybe I should p*e on the suitcase.....
08/12/2022
Our parents have returned!! Finally!! They were gone forever, so i made a rule: 5 day limit for trips!!
They seem to have had a great time though so they will do it again next year. Drats!
We helped clean and tried to entertain when possible. Joey wasn't happy at all, he whined at the door and paced so now he is getting an extra meal cause he lost weight from pacing. Brooke and Michael took good care of us, but the dreaded cats slept with us every night which was weird.
Mom informed us that Mystery Sister will be joining our family next summer. Right now, she is having a puppy around Christmas. Yep, just one. She is really stingy and only gives one puppy each litter so she will be done after this. At least our PA parents got 2 puppies from her. The twerp!! M& M had 2, and I was awesome and had 4!! (Pips helped, that traitor). Then she dumped me!
It has rained here for days, and it's been really warm. At this rate, we won't be seeing any snow any time soon. The Toddler Terrorist won't be pleased at all.
There is a rumor going around that our parents are going to Florida for 2 days next week to meet a partner. It better just be a rumor!! They are unpacked from this last trip but there is an empty suitcase that hasn't been put away. I am watching, just in case.
Well, I have to go sit on Mom's feet so she has to stay put. Later!!
30/11/2022
Mom & Dad are leaving in the morning on the dreaded trip. Joey went to Dr. Marchman to get a nail trim because something was going on with his nail. He came back with attitude since he got to go out with Mom! The nerve.
Mom brushed us, and got us new cows ears and bullies, but I am still not pleased. I did try putting white fur on her black Santa sweater, but she got the fur off, gave me the Look, and stuck it in her suitcase. Drats.
M&M doesn't seem concerned at all, she actually told me to grow a pair!! Girl, if i could do that, Pips wouldn't have dumped me for Dave & Keeper!!
I will pout, and sulk, and be naughty until Mom returns. It's what I do and I am really good at it!!
27/11/2022
Fall has returned!! Mom is quite happy!! We had a fun Thanksgiving, but no one dropped any food on the floor. Drats!
Life has been good, until tonight. THERE ARE SUITCASES IN OUR BEDROOM!! This is NOT good! Mom is gathering stuff and has a giant list she is working on. I am NOT happy because this means that the big nasty plane is taking Mom away!! With Dad!!
Mom is writing a giant book of instructions on our care for Brooke, while I sit and pout. Joey won't be happy either when he figures it out but M&M, well, she just rolls with the punches. Boring, right?
Mom says we will be fine, but how can she know that?! She will be hanging out with Santa, drinking wine and just having a dandy old time. Grrrr......
I long ago gave up trying to sabotage these trips, so I guess I will just have to be grumpy and upset for however long this dumb trip lasts, which better not be very long at all!!
I hope Mom puts our bedtime cracker on the instructions......
19/11/2022
Happy Saturday!! We have had a busy week! It's been really really cold too!
This weekend we have to get our pictures taken for the Christmas card. Mom needs to order them before the dreaded trip so she can address them while she is millions of miles from us! I don't understand why she can't do those cards right here with me sleeping on her feet!!
Today is our friend Fennec's birthday. He is 5. That means Mystery Sister is also 5 today since she showed up with Fennec. I hope they both have a great birthday!!
Mom will be baking this weekend so I will lurk in case something falls. I am hopefull!
Well, I gotta go, literally!!
05/11/2022
It's been a while since I've posted, but Mom says I can start up again.
It's Fall here in Georgia, which means no heat, humidity or bugs!
M&M, Joey and I are doing fine.
Joey had his 16th birthday in September and we don't think he understands he is 16. He still gallops around like a puppy and still stands on his hind legs when we are getting fed. We think he plans to live forever, which is okay with all of us.
Tiny Human is now a Toddler Terrorist, and we are crossing our paws that he will go live in his own house soon. Joey seems to really like him, but M&M and I can only take him in small doses. Very small doses. He is pretty cute for a terrorist and Mom seems to like him a lot. He has more toys than he needs and he is always so busy!!
We do like when he eats, cause he shares.
Remember the Mystery Sister? Well, we have confirmed that she will be arriving in 2023, either summer or winter. Mom is over the moon happy and M&M and I already know her from our PA home. I hope Joey doesn't go all googly eyed over her. More on this at a later date.
Mom and Dad have become baseball fans in a HUGE way. We are looking forward to baseball being over cause we have to stay up really late all the time and Mom yells at the TV. Rumor has it that it will end by tomorrow. Let's hope.
The dreaded trip to Mendocino is coming up and we are not happy because it's from a Wednesday to another Wednesday and that's a really long time!! Brooke, Michael and the Terrorist will take care of us. Rescue Remedy will be available, hopefully.
Well, that's all I have for now. It's nap time so see ya later!!
18/12/2021
They didn't go, they didn't go!! They stayed home with us!!! We are happy!!
15/12/2021
It's not a rumor!!!! It's not a rumor!! Our parents are going to some dumb party in South Carolina!! Mom said they will be gone 30 hours tops! I am not happy!!
13/12/2021
Our parents returned, after what seemed like forever!! I was quite upset and stayed in my snit for 2 days after they returned. I am still acting out too! Joey was very sad too, so he slept most of the time. He is just as crazy as ever now!
M&M handled the "vacation" just fine. Girls!
Mom has been baking and doing other Christmasy things while we hover under her feet.
She is busy at work too. We heard a rumor about some Christmas party in S.C. next weekend, but we arent sure. I sure hope not!
Our house looks nice but we don't have every single room decorated like our old house and the best thing is there are NO REINDEER! Apparently, the reindeer bin didn't make it out of the attic, which pleased me big time! I hate those things staring at me wherever I go!
Well, Mom is starting work now, so I have to go hover!!
