It was BEA-U-TI-FUL outside today, and I had so much fun soaking up the sun!  I do miss eating me some snow, but I’m so happy to have all these warm days.  I hate being a cold doggy, and I feel bad for all the homeless doggies and kitties when the really cold weather hits.  I’m afraid they’ll all freeze to death because they don’t have a warm house like mine.  When it’s really cold I curl up in front of the wood stove, but Mommy didn’t have to build a fire today.

Mommy, Lil Sister, and I spent most of the day outside so lil sister could play in the sun.  She’s got a skin disease right now that the sun helps, and even though it’s only February it was warm enough for her to run around without a shirt on for 30 minutes like the doctor said to do.

Alley, well he doesn’t get outside much.  He always tries to run away and chase the girl cats or get in a fight with the boy cat across the street.  Mommy is afraid he’ll get ran over by a big car, so she left him inside playing Cat Fishing. Now he’s wanting his own Atrix 4G so he can play his games on the way to the vet’s office. Silly cat. Mom would never buy him a phone. He’d gack all over it and ruin it!

Mommy was right.  I’m not going to die.  I know because the vet said so.  I scratched my ear, but it’s not infected or anything.  I didn’t even get any antibiotics this time.  Mommy did give me some treats when I got home for being such a good boy at the vet’s office.

I don’t get doggy treats too often because Mommy has to be careful what she feeds me because of my skin problems.  Sometimes I’ll get free treats in the mail because Mommy orders free samples of the all natural ones when she finds them.  If you want free treats and stuff you should check out Mommy’s freebie and samples blog.  She posts stuff like red envelope coupons, discount codes, and free product samples she’s finds on the internetz. Sometimes she finds some really cool free stuff or helps you save lots of money!  My Mommy is cool like that.

I don’t feel too good.  Mommy says she made me an appointment to see the vet on Thursday because that’s the soonest she could get me in.  I hope I don’t get even more sick by then.  My ear was bleeding this morning.  Mommy says I just nicked it with my nail when I scratched it, but she wants it checked out to make sure I don’t have an infection.

Me…I think I’m dying. I think I’m bleeding from my brain, and I’m going to leave this world way too soon. Now that I think about it I think I see blurry spots in my eyes, and I’m hearing strange noises. I hope I’m not turning into one of those hypochondriacs!

Maybe the vet will make it all better. He’ll probably stick the welch allyn otoscope in my ear, and then he’ll send me home with a prescription for antibiotics. I like it when I get antibiotics because I get extra treats to help me take them!  If it’s something worse and I die I’m sure you’ll hear about it.  We know Alley can’t keep his mouth shut when he has juicy gossip about me!

You know what I love more than Christmas presents? After Christmas sales! Mommy went shopping last night, and she got me another present because it was so cheap, and I absolutely love it! She got me a 4″ memory foam doggy bed with a microfoam cover. I admit it’s not as warm as the heated mattress pad on Mommy and Daddy’s bed, but it’ll definitely do!

I’m thinking about snuggling up on it for a nice warm afternoon nap right now. Maybe Mommy will let me drag it a little closer to the wood stove for extra warmth. Then again maybe that isn’t such a good idea. I don’t want to burn my new bed and the house down in the process! I’ll just get Mommy to cover me up with my doggy blanket instead.

Did you have a good Christmas?  I sure did!  I got 2 new toys and a new collar and leash from Mommy and Daddy.  I also had a lot of fun this morning helping lil sister unwrap her presents.  She let me help her tear a few open, and it was lots and lots of fun!

Then we went to Nana’s house and I got to run around in the back yard for awhile with Aunt Brittany’s pitbull, Rebel.  We had so much fun, but boy am I glad Nana got a new pool fence this summer because Rebel would’ve tried to push me in, and that would have been cold. Well, it wouldn’t have been too cold since the weather has been pretty warm here, but today was a bit chilly. Anywho, I have new toys to go play with, so it’s time for me to head out!
