Monday Mischief: Post-Holiday Recap

Hi There!

All this Christmas-ing has worn us out!

So, my apologies for not writing much this past week.  The holidays turned out to be a super busy week, with tons of visitors from out of town.  The good news, however, is that they all came over to visit!  We had people come to visit for 7 days in a row.  Wow!

Isn't Hunter cute?

Hunter and I have been pretty good at holding down the fort (I guess I have to give the kitties some credit, too....I guess).  Not only do we hold down the fort, but we also entertain those who are in the fort!  What a combo.

Flannel sheets and napping go together like....Hunter and I do!....

Hunter, Thor, Allie, and I got some pretty sweet loot for Christmas, too!  Hunter got a football (of which I popped and shredded in 20 minutes...oops), we both got a large Nerf squeaky toy (of which Hunter stores in his mouth), I got a lump of coal dog toy (is this a passive aggressive warning?), and the entire family was treated with a Kurgo backseat car seat protector!  Oh, and Thor/Allie got this cool battery-operated "Twitch" cat toy so they're entertained.  It was wonderful!

Checking out the loot...

"Mom, can I open these yet?  I'm dying to see what's inside!!!"

What did you get for Christmas?  Better yet, what have you been up to while I've been entertaining the flocks of living things around here?

Hunter likes to nap with me.

"Are you done with that camera, yet, Boss?"

Chow!

Monday Mischief: The Big Reveal

Good Morning, Friends! Sorry we didn't have a post yesterday- it was a very busy day around here.

Big Boss was on a business trip outside of the country, so we went to pick him up at the airport.  I missed him SOOOO much.  I was the one who picked him, if you read how I got adopted!  So, I am VERY glad his lap and hands are back to give me tons of attention.  Yay!  Here I am, waiting for him to get out of customs and baggage claim:

After we picked him up, we played a ton, inside and outside.  Of course, little Kaiser doesn't have the stamina that I have, so we had to let him take a quick puppy nap.  Because....yesterday was his big day.  He had a potential family come to our place to meet him!  People who have applied and are interested in meeting him come to our house (one family at a time) to see if the dog would be a good fit for their family.

The people who came to meet him were GRRRReat!  There were very friendly big humans, and there were two small mailmen that accompanied them!  They loved the two of us pups.  Of course, they were interested in Kaiser, but I made sure to butt my face into this shindig to get as much attention as I could get. ;-)

They couldn't resist him- they said Kaiser reminded them of their first dog.  That's usually a good sign, methinks!  They couldn't put him down- they gave him T-R-E-A-T-S, held him, let him run around and play with toys, let him play with me, watched him try to take a nap.....they fell in love with him!  We all could tell that it was a successful match.

The adoption policy is that a potential adopter waits a day (or "sleeps on it") concerning whether they would like to adopt the dog or not.  We think this is a good idea around here, so that the people don't make an impulse decision, take the dog home, and realize that maybe they made a hasty choice.  So.....24 hours will be up at noon today here in the lovely state of Minnesota!

What do you think?  Deal, or no deal? Maybe we can make a breaking news insert this afternoon!  We're hoping it's a deal, so that we can spread our mischief-makers everywhere! :)

Chow!

Wordless Wednesday: Wee Little Pup

Well, Friends and Bosses alike,

I have really gotten into this blog hop business.  Thank you to those who have been helping me and, not to mention humoring me, while I've been wiggling my way around the world wide web.  I promise, I'm a quick learner! As long as I keep getting fed tasty treats, I'll keep doing work! So hang in there, everyone!

So, if you want the TL:DR (too long, didn't read), Welcome to my first Wordless Wednesday, throwback edition. Enjoy!

Monday Mischief: The First #mondaymischief

Hey There, Readers!

I am back from my Southern Minnesota camping adventure, and boy, am I tired!  But just perky enough to write my first Monday Mischief blog hop post.  How exciting is that?!

Well, the Bosses just love when I get into mischief- well, the innocent and non-destructive kind.  Let's be honest- and don't tell Bosses this- but I think they get into plenty of mischief themselves.  But shhh, you didn't hear that from me.

Licking my chops before my mischief.

Moving on.  My latest mischief "mishap" has been the carpeted-stairs (or lack of) in the house.  I got a little lonely and bored a few weeks ago, and went to town on Bosses' staircase.  And by go to town, I mean I ripped up (and shredded) two stairs worth of the carpet and the padding.  Bosses are not thrilled.  But I think they're devising a plan to fix this lack of comfy sitting/walking spaces.  Can I be completely honest?  I don't mean to point fingers here, but I'm pretty sure that Thor and Allie started the whole "demolition" process.  They like to scratch their claws all over the edges of the stairs, and while they may not physically take the carpet off the stairs, the areas that they touch do look super fuzzy and different.  So, I took their "artwork" and made it into a "masterpiece".

This meanie framed me!!!  I'm in trouble, and he's taking a nap!

Voila!

My latest "mischief". Red handed.

...Bosses didn't like my artwork, either.  Drat.

Well, I'm back to my post-crazy-weekend nap.  Tune in tomorrow for my first Adventure Dog post about last weekend's camping trip!  This one is a doozy!

Chow!

Thoughtful Tuesday: Rant and Rave

Well, fans, I'm still pooped.

This weekend was a doozy!  Bosses said I was out like a light.  No peeps.  All was quiet at the ranch.  I decided to give them a break.

My favorite carpet spot: the hallway upstairs by the kitchen.

I thought I would extend a huge thank you to everyone who has read my blog so far- I'm still pretty young, and Bosses have only taken me to one grade of Obedience School, so give me a break if my "etiquette" isn't up to sniff...oh, I meant snuff.  You know what I mean.  I'll try to reel you in for the long haul- I've got MANY years left, brace yourselves!

See?  I learned how to sit!  My grandpa's dog, JJ, can't do that!

I also want to thank all the wonderful folks at RAGOM for everything they have done for me- whether it was letting me hang my head at their home, bathing me when I was a wee little pup, entertaining me at events (like Meet & Greets, Goldzilla, etc), and giving me the life I've always wanted!  Thank you, everyone!

Did someone say, "wee little pup"?!  Here I am!

I've got so much to look forward to in the coming months.  I'll be going camping with the Bosses and their friends and adjoining pups this weekend in Southern Minnesota- I'm more than stoked for that.  That means LOTS of puppy playtime and hiking!  Count me in!  I will also be turning 1 YEAR OLD in a few weeks!!! Can you believe it?!?!? Bosses say it felt like yesterday that they brought tiny little me home to live with them.  Boy, what a ride it has been!  I think Bosses are crafting up something wonderful for my birthday- I overheard them possibly saying that a group birthday party with all my siblings might be in the works, but maybe my ears are a bit fuzzy!  Well, I guess they are literally fuzzy, but you get the point!  Bosses are doing their best to make an awesome Birthday Week for me!
Well, good treat-givers, I'm afraid I have been away from my favorite carpet spot way too long...it's time to hit the hay.

Didn't make it to the carpet spot- patio will have to do!

Chow!  Hope to bark at you all again at full force tomorrow!
