Food Please

Mommy always makes the best food. It smells so good I just have to get up really close and smell all the goodness.

The other day mom made this yummy sandwich thing that smells soooo good. It was one of the day's after we ran that she stood by the shiny thing in the kitchen and then all of the sudden I could smell all these great things. Mom called it a ham, egg and cheese biscuit...what ever it was it smelled so good.

So I crawled up behind her and asked really nicely if I could have just a bite.


Come on mom...just one bit...there's plenty there to share with me.

Look mom...your done...just give me the little tiny pieces that are laying right there on your plate...please, please, please!!

 It was sad...mom didn't share anything with me. I tried to look my cutest but it didn't work. Mom is a tough cookie to break...maybe next time.

Never a dull moment

Hi this is Mom here and I had to share a moment with Jack in my own words because to be honest I’m not sure what Jack was thinking at the time.

The other day I went grocery shopping and purchased a lot of grocery which I put in the trunk. The normal routine when I get home is I park the car in the garage, shut the garage door, pop the trunk and then let the dogs into the garage to follow me around while I unload the car. 

Well this time Jack decided to add a little flavor to the routine. 

I had grabbed three bags to take inside and Jack decided to take a running jump into the trunk! I just stood there for a second as he climbed over the rest of the groceries and settled in the back of the trunk. 

So I walked inside, put the groceries down and grabbed my camera, which is something I should have tied around my neck to catch these once in a lifetime moments. 

To my surprise he was still in the trunk sniffing around so I took this one shot and with that he immediately wiggled out of the trunk and joined me as I finished putting up the rest of the groceries.

There is never a dull moment with this guy.

Rainy Days

I don't know what all the noise was the other night but the sun was flashing on and off and someone was shooting a gun up in the air. I went running out side to see what they were shooting at and when I ran outside there was water falling from the sky. Its was awesome.

I came back in to let mom know something was going on outside and then the sun flashed again and the guy started to shoot so I ran out again to see what he was shooting at. But nothing...there were no bird falling from the sky. I didn't understand.

So I ran back in and was trying to tell mom all about it. She was still in bed, of course. But she started to love on me and tell me to be calm and that it was alright. I KNOW it was alright but I was just getting excited. She started to rub my belly so I laid there and it was so relaxing. I love when mommy rubs my belly.

Anyway she finally started to move like she was getting up so I ran outside thinking she was going to follow me. But she didn't...I don't know why she didn't follow me so I started to dig in the soft ground. It was all wet and slippery and so much fun. So I ran inside to tell mom about the soft stuff I found and when I ran inside she was sitting on the ground petting little sis.

Mom gave me a once over, her eyes got really huge so she must have known there was soft stuff outside. She grabbed my collar and headed to the bedroom door which I was gladdly leading her to. I wanted her to see what was outside.

But then she stopped, closed the bedroom door and let go of my collar. I don't understand her sometimes because she needed to go outside and play with me. Then she got a blue bucket and filled it with water and put something in the water and then she sat on the floor forever and rubbed the floor like she does my belly.

Then when she finally got off the floor she filled her bathtub up with water and looked at me again shaking her head. I tucked my tail and started to turn to run....I knew what that meant...I was going to get a bath. I made mom pick me up and put me in and then the whole time I tucked my head under her arm not wanting to be there. But to my surprise all she did was wash my feet and that's it!

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. So now mom says I'm all clean and no more digging for me. 

Now me and mom are playing ball inside because I'm not allowed outside until, as mom says...the mud dries.

_______________________________________________

Hey everyone this is mom and here is a picture of the carpet after Jack had fun digging outside. I'm glad I was on sitting on the floor loving on Ladybug because if I had stayed on the bed, Jack would have joined me and my white comforter would have looked like this along with the carpet. 

The Run

Mommy and I have started this new routine in the morning and I’ve been so excited about it. You see, every morning before the loud sound goes off I crawl up to mommies pillow and start to play with her. 

First I breath really heavy in her face….that normally gets her to stir a little bit. Once she starts to stir I start to nudge her with my head and lick her hand or face or hair. Then when she doesn’t get up and tries to hide from me I start pawing at her. I know she doesn’t like it but it gets her out of bed and once she’s out of bed it PLAY TIME!!!!!

Mommy started taking me out on runs every day this week. Just me and her without little sis. Which is fine with me because little sis would just hold us up anyway…she can’t run as fast or as long as I can.

 Mommy is the best, because she has this really long leash and I can run from one side of the street to the other smelling everything and I don’t get choked by the leash. 

Ladybugs leash is the purple one on the left and mine is the extra long green one on the right!!!

 After we run mom takes me home where I get a drink of water and then lay in front of the door while mom and little sis get back from their walk.  

MOM’s VERSION

Jack is too funny and once we get on a routine he is all for it. I started running him 1 ½ miles every morning because he needed to burn some of that energy he has. I kept reading from multiple sources…”A bored dog is a destructive dog”…and a destructive dog he was turning. So I had to do something and I decided an early morning run may help.

 So at 6am every morning I’m out of bed, with the help of Jack, before the alarm goes off. He will crawl up to my pillow and lay right across my pillow so my head is in the center of his belly. Then he will pester me until I’m out of bed. 

Jack has never learned to walk on a lead so trying to walk him on a normal 6ft lead is a very difficult task and very exhausting for me. So I went out and purchased a 30ft check cord normally used for training. I’m using it so Jack can run crazy and smell everything in the world there is to smell and I can run at a nice easy pace right down the center of the street. Win/Win for both of us.

Jack seems happier and I’ve always said I wanted a running partner….looks like I found one…LOL!

Bad Doggie

Mommy says I’ve been bad chewing up all her stuff so she has blocked me from going into the living room while she is away during the day. I just can’t help myself, I get so bored at home without her. My little sis is no fun either because all she does is nip and bark at me. She doesn’t like to play with me so I have to keep myself busy. 

Anyway the other day when mommy was way from home I decided to move some things around. I was bored so what else was I supposed to do? Anyway, the only thing that I could get my teeth around was my big fluffy bed. I decided I wanted to take it outside so I did and play with it...so I did.

When mommy come home I thought I was going to get in trouble for the bed because she looked mad at first but then she just laughed. As she was shaking off the bed she told me she didn’t know how I got that huge bed out the doggie door.

To be honest I don’t knew either but I was sure tired for the rest of the evening. Me and mom just laid around and watch TV.  It was a good day!

This is Mom.....and here is a picture of the huge fluffy bed and the doggie door. This is the one time I wish I had a nanny cam and figure out how the heck he did that without tearing up the bed. There are some things that are just never to be understood and this is one of them. 

Some Pics

OK...so Mom FINALLY got around to getting some good pictures of me. She said we needed to get some pictures of me up on the website so everyone can see what a handsome young man I am.

I had to agree....I am handsome! Mom said that before she got me someone had described me as the Brad Pitt of Brittanies. I have no idea who Brad Pitt is but if he looks anything like me he is a handsome fellow too!

How could you get mad at a face like mine...even when I do something like this......

Don't worry all that stuff on the floor behind me is from  my toy......the one I'm chewing on in the picture. Mom was just happy it wasn't one of her pillows or anything. So she let me sit there and chew on it.
