Seattle and Adventures in Doggy Daycare

May 30, 2007

Today I made my first trip to Seattle. It's a really big place. I saw it when my mom brought me home that first day but I had never been there. We spent a lot of time down at the piers and there were lots of people who thought I was so cute.

Then we went to the Downtown Dog Lounge. One of my favorite shows on TV is "Adventures in Doggy Daycare" and that is filmed at the Downtown Dog Lounge in Seattle. It's a cool show and I watched it a lot. My mom promised me she would take her there on my first trip to Seattle. So we went yesterday. It is the coolest place ever. There is dog stuff everywhere, and dogs everywhere, and the walls have big black and white spots all over them. It looks just like on the TV show! As soon as we walked in the door, this really nice girl named Morgan grabbed me and started carrying me around. She took me in the back to show me to everyone back there and I got passed around so everyone could hold me. I had a blast.

My mom said next time we go to Seattle, she may leave me there while she goes looking for crab boats (she really is into that, I don't get it at all) and goes to the Ballard Locks. It would be fun to get a manipedicure and a beauty treatment at the Dog Lounge, but I do enjoy going to the locks too.

My new friend Lhatie

May 25, 2007

I met a new friend today. Her name is Lhatie and she belongs to my mom's friend Sheri. She is really really little. I tried to make friends with her and she was scared of me. I guess I look big to her because she is about as big as a mouse (not that I have ever seen a mouse but I hear they are small). But then everybody in the park kept telling her how cute she was and I guess she felt better because then she wanted to play with me and she scared me! Boy, she is pushy. My mom says that is because she is a terrier. I thought she was a puppy like me. She is crazy!

The ray

May 17, 2007

We went to the beach again today. It was really great except that it was so windy and cold. I ran through the waves (my mom said they weren't waves, but I thought they were – they were at least an inch high and got my feet wet!). It was so much fun. I tried to eat some dead crabs but my mom would not let me. And we saw a strange thing that my mom called a ray but she said its tail was gone. It looked good enough to eat but of course my mom would not let me. She is no fun at all. I would have tried a bite even if I had to throw up afterward.

My mom's work

April 30, 2007

Tonight my mom took me to where she works. It's a hospital and we went in the back door to get to her office. I had a lot of fun. I played with her friends Sheri, Peggy, and Janiel. They said they wished I could come to work every day and I wish i could too! They cuddled me a lot and gave me treats. I wore my new pink collar that we sell on our website (http://www.doggypanache.com/). Someday I will be great model, I know it.

The vet again

April 19, 2007

I went to the vet and got another shot today. My mom gave me some of that stuff before I went and it didn't hurt this time and I didn't have any trouble breathing. I think she is proud of me.

The beach

April 16, 2007

My mom took me somewhere called "the beach" today. I was kind of freaked out because it is so big but at the same time there isn't really anything there. There is a bunch of water she called the Pacific Ocean. It kept moving; I chased it and it ran away but then it kept turning around and trying to get me. I haven't figured it out yet at all.

There were a lot of people there though, and some really loud birds my mom called seagulls. There were other things that I thought were birds too but she said they were kites. These kites had people attached to them by strings and the kites kept dragging the people around. I think it would be fun to be dragged by a kite. I chewed on some tasty wood that my mom called driftwood, delicious, nice and salty.

We saw a big scary-looking thing that my mom said was a dead seal. She seemed sad. It was all covered up in eels. My mom said those were not eels, they were seaweed, but they sure looked like eels to me. I watch the Discovery Channel and I know about these things.

By the time we left I smelled kind of fishy and had all this stuff on me that I thought was cat litter but my mom said it was sand. I guess that's little parts of the beach. By the time we got home (I slept all the way), all the beach had fallen off into my carrier. My mom seemed happy about that.

President and CEO is - ME

April 4, 2007

We went back to that place call PetSmart but my mom said we can't come anymore after today. I guess she is too busy with this thing on the computer called "the website". She said it is for me though and that I am the president of the company (me the president!). It's called http://blog.myspace.com/www.doggypanache.com and we are going to be selling really fancy dog dresses and stuff. It makes me think that I could be a model. I think I was born to be a model. My mom said I will have to wait till I am big to get a lot of clothes because I keep growing. Darn.

I liked today a lot

March 28, 2007

We went somewhere called Olympia to an awesome place called PetSmart. It was really fun. Then I was in a big circle with 2 other puppies, a big one and a medium one. And we did some fun stuff and my mom got me some good dog treats. I liked today a lot.

I did not like today at all!

March 27, 2007

I had to go back to that vet guy and this time he stuck something in me that really hurt! That was not nice. Then when I got home I had a really hard time breathing. My mom gave me some nasty stuff and that helped a lot. I did not like today at all.

My friend Rose Lee

March 21, 2007

My mom got me a present today, a little mirror to hang on the wall by my food bowl so I can play with that other Shih Tzu (Rosa Lee) I see upstairs. I just can't figure out why she acts so playful but never will play. And she always does exactly what I do. She's kind of strange… My mom has been trying to find me a good bowl too cause I can't eat out of a real dog bowl cause my nose is so tiny. I feel like I will suffocate. So she got me a cute little lavender plate (she said it was a flowerpot saucer, whatever that it). I hate to tell her that it's not any better than a bowl because it's a pretty color and she is trying so hard. I guess she will figure it out when I don't eat out of it. She needs to just put my food on my placemat (and mom, how about getting me a cool placement instead of this ugly blue thing!).
