Does this coat make me look fat?

I am very sorry to say that I have been MISBEHAVING lately.  I can’t help it because it is boring boring boring.  Here’s what I like to do that gets me into trouble:

1.  Relax on the super comfy spots where the people sit.  Ever since I discovered how nice it is to sit on the super comfy spots I try to get there as much as possible when they are not home.  But, they can always tell when I have been lounging there because my fur is falling out A LOT lately.  The other day, The Bouncy One was giving me a good rub with the prickly thing and so much of my hair came out.

Me and the Giant Pile of Hair...  Do I look Slimmer?

 2.  I also like to find exciting things to eat around the house.  The other day they went out so I was investigating in the place where they make all the food that they never give me.  I found something that was not a super tasty treat, but I am always hungry these days so I ate it anyway.  I did not eat the not tasty part and left it on the floor. When The Serious One came into the house and saw the not tasty part, I got the “look” and the “angry voice” and I cowered so that they knew I was sorry. 

The not tasty part....shouldn't have left it on the floor!

Even though I am sorry I will do it again because I am sooooooooooo bored and hungry.  I am really good at the “sorry look” and so I think they think I won’t do it again ! 

My "I'm soooooo sorry, I'll never do it again" look

 

3. When they yell “Come” I don’t’ come unless they give me a treat ..  so I wait until they yell “Treat” and then I come.

But I also have been very very good lately on some things.  Here’s what I do to be good:

1.  do my business in the place out the window with the cold white stuff on the ground without going for a good walk.

2.  don’t chase the cats when they come on my side.

3.  never ever never ever make noise like that crazy dog next door.

Perhaps if the white stuff every goes away I will get more outside time and won’t have to lie around all day or sneak the people food.

The cold white stuff, Snow!, has covered all of the outside world for a very long time and more came down last night.  This is good and this is bad.  One of the things that is very good about the white stuff is that I can see everything on top of it.  Like when I go out in the back yard and The Bouncy One let’s me run around with the long rope and I get away from her.  If I am very fast I can find all kinds of exciting things on top of the Snow!   There are always the yummy morsels that the dogs with really sharp ears leave around.  There are a lot of these dogs in the back yard these days… I think they live there now that the chickens are gone.  They are super scaredy cats though, because when I go in the back yard they all run into the woods.

The other day I found a really really really good thing on top of the snow.  It was one of those big animals that fly around above the trees and make the honking sounds.  But this one was not flying and it looks like some other dog might have found it before me, because it didn’t look so good.   But I got several good bites off before The Bouncy One came by and tugged me away making all her shrieky sounds and jumpy moves.

This is a picture of Me when I come upon something in the Snow!  

YUM

 

As I have said before… I LOVE SNOW  and the things on top of it !!

It's Finally Snow Fun Around Here !!

You may remember that I am mostly Alaskan Malamute (on my mother's side)  and was born and raised in the Rocky Mountains.   So I was pleasantly surprised many days ago when the cold white stuff started falling out of the sky.  For many days I waited patiently .... and  finally today I had a really good playtime outside.  I did all the things a dog dreams of doing in the snow...

First I made snow dog angels

Sooooo much fun

My work

Then I caught flying snowballs

They're colder than you'd think

Then I spent a really long time playing with the Big Orange Ball that is very hard to carry in my mouth.

One of the things that I love love love to do is snack on deer poo, but that gets big yells from the people of "no no no!!!" in the excited loud voices.   The Bouncy One also says "that's so gross!!!" in her special shrieky voice.


The Last Thing I like to do is write my name in the Snow !

I call it "calligrapee"

I ran out of pee before I could write "Happy New Year".

The Biggest Loser

Well the first thing I have to say is that the house is still a big mess.  Everything is off schedule too.  It use to be that everything was the same...and I like routine.  But now it is all tangled up and I don't know what to expect.  Today, for instance, I was sitting all by myself in the house and it was very lonely and I haven't seen The Bouncy One in days and she never takes me for walks hardly at all.  Which is why I believe that I have new food.  I think that I have gotten FAT because my playing has not been very good during all the festivities that are happening around here and all the disappearances and the not routine routine.

 

New, but not Improved, Food

Also there is much white stuff on the ground outside which is so much fun to run around in.  Maybe someone will run around with me soon.
