OK, I guess it takes some nasty weather for me to even think about writing another blog. Yup, it has been a few weeks again since my last blog (oh, don’t even tell me that you had not noticed no blog since March 23, or I just may hand this over to some other poor canine in the house!). But, I am sure that you figured I was planning my spring lawn repair and helping my owner get motivated…
To my complete surprise, it was brought to my attention that I was named “Pet of the Week” at Westonka Animal Hospital. I have been trying to figure out why I would get such recognition because I have not done anything extraordinary (unless you consider a dog writing a blog unusual?) lately. Sure I traipse into Westonka Animal Hospital for this or that, but I really try to remain incognito, not wanting to draw attention to the dog that…
Hello Everyone! How are you?! I must say, I am doing very well, even if I am not an Irish Setter dog today on this St. Patrick’s Day! By the way, Happy St. Patrick’s Day and weekend! It seems that you humans find all kinds of reasons to party and I am just fine with that too! My whole life is about celebration after all! The idea of a day set aside for just the Irish got me…
While us dogs don’t get annoyed by much of anything because we do live in the moment, I have to admit, that even I was getting annoyed with our muddy backyard. Of course, we try to avoid the mud, but it is almost impossible. I think my owners should put in an artificial turf like our poodle friends have. Wait, that would mean no more barking at the lawnmower in the summer, so maybe not?! See what happens…
You may not realize this, but, I actually like it when I am not the one capturing all the attention around here! You know how there seems to be those humans or even pets that think that they should be the center of attention at every event? Well, that is not me! In fact, I really like to observe, especially now that I am growing older. Just look at all the attention that Harmony is getting from Nancy…
Now, this really is not fair! Nancy has persuaded me to do a blog entry just so she can procrastinate on her tax data work on our shared computer. I thought that I was on a big winter break from my blog, but so much for my winter break, huh! I also had to visit the Animal Hospital three times this past week, so I am already worn out from all the attention. I won’t go into the…
While many of you are anticipating the Minnesota Viking NFL playoff game this Sunday, I am eagerly awaiting more predictable outcomes for myself. Such things like knowing that I will finally get my toenails ground down tomorrow after Nancy shaved my paws. She had to shave my paws so that she could actually see my toenails. Just so we are clear on this – I am not saying that is MORE important than your Minnesota Viking’s game this…
Sometimes I think you humans need a blizzard to allow your world to pause. You save those projects for a snow or rainy day, and when they do not happen, us pets have to figure out clever ways to orchestrate a standstill, a fermata of sorts in Nancy’s music world. Like just this morning, I was being brushed out by Nancy and I knew I had to just bare with it so she would just chill for an hour….
So, have you been waiting for a Christmas blog from me? What, you say that you have not missed hearing from me? Well, I have news for you, no one ever said you have to read my blogs! HA! But, if you are reading this it is probably because it is just too cold outside to do anything else except read or watch something. Do you know that it is so cold outside that I don’t even want to…
Hmmmmm…..do I really need to write a Christmas blog this year???? Do you think anyone even reads my blogs Nancy? Please don’t tell me it would be your favorite gift if I would only write a Christmas blog!
It was my birthday yesterday; but, I am not telling you this to get attention. If you have been reading my blogs all these years, you know that I try not to make it all about me anyway! To say that the day went about without any glitches would not be totally honest and in this case, my owner has forbidden me from sharing yesterday’s episode that required some patience on Nancy’s part. She was mortified by her choices of…
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers! If you don’t read my blog often, don’t worry, you did not miss much except for my assistance to help you view your human life with a bit more lightheartedness! You see, us dogs really are so thankful every day for our human companions, especially if they allow us to “just” be dogs. My human owners, as you have become aware, seem to think we should try to write once in awhile…
So, here it goes, I will try to crank out one of my blogs before my owners pick me up later. They dropped us off on October 18th, with the only instructions to behave, but have fun! Like, what is that supposed to mean anyway? We are being dropped off at a Poodle Hotel. It is not like we are going to run away or give the other poodles some funky haircuts for Halloween or something?! I…
Perhaps you are thinking, didn’t Louie just write a blog and has he ever written twice in one week?! Well, just remember that I went almost six weeks without writing, and I am quite grateful that no one nagged me then about my lack of writing. Sometimes, us dogs can be rather unpredictable like you humans. I watch these humans surrounding me and just when I think I understand them, they go off and do something totally…
It has been one of those perfect weekends. It all began when we went for an hour long walk during a leisurely misty morning. Well, when it is with Harmony instead of Serenade, it ends up to be mostly fast walking or running more than anything but a leisurely walk, but it was all good. The backyard is so wet yet that instead of playing fetch for awhile, we had to watch Nancy rake some leaves. Why am I…
It can’t be easy being a girl?! I witnessed that this morning when my two female friends, Sera and Harmony had a little spat about territory! I don’t recall that I have ever had a fight with any dog, though there have been dogs that tried to pick a fight with me. After all, I can’t help it that I am so incredibly gorgeous, but I only contemplate it when other dogs feel threatened by what none of us…
The smell of the lovely rain inspired me to write a blog. You wouldn’t expect me to write when the sun is shining when I am outside as much as possible, would you? I am a bit surprised that no one has nagged me about my lack of blogging this summer?! But then, I suppose if you read my blogs you already know that nagging will never get you anywhere with me! Like so many humans, us dogs…
Like one of my human housemates, sometimes I just can’t seem to get the motivation necessary to do certain tasks. Yup, you guessed it, I just have not felt like writing a blog for over a month. Today’s blog is being written solely for my owner’s dear friend’s son, Tyler and his family. Tyler had a pool accident that left him with a broken back and a spinal cord injury. Given a purpose, and this ol’ dog does gets…
Sometimes, we don’t have to say much in order to say a lot. My purpose in writing this blog is simply to bring some laughter into your daily human life. For instance, if you think about it just for one second, what really makes you humans happy? It is not money, fame or even your favorite blizzard from the Dairy Queen (no, Nancy has never allowed me to have such a treat). Gosh, it isn’t even about owning…
Whoa, and you thought that you were the only one crazy busy, so busy that you barely have time to use the bathroom? Well, you guessed it, I am extremely busy with our lovely guest, Harmony (owned by a dear friend, Jill Lurye). It is all good though, she is allowing me to train her in the ways of this household; she is an intelligent and sweet (I know, imagine that, both traits!). Take for example this very…
