My lake adventures

I am such a lucky boy, I get to spend lots of time with Maggie at the lake this July.  Here I am in my momma's car.  Can you just see how excited I am, we only have 2 more miles to get to grandma's house prior to me seeing Maggie.  Litterlly to get to Grandma's house you have to go over a river and  through the woods to grandma's house we go.....

Here I am on the pontoon.  I love being on the pontoon.  This is where I get to see loons, hawks, cranes, fishies and people.  Some nights I am so lucky that grandpa takes me out for a ride.  It is so fun to go slightly fast and have the breeze of fresh air coming into my little snout. 

On one of thouse really hot humid days, momma and grandma took me out on the pontoon.  They went in the lake to cool off and I did too.  I sat with my momma in her floaty chair.  You really can't touch the bottom of this lake, it is way too deep.  It is a fun an magical place to go in the summer for a vacation.

The Albino Schnauzer

My momma had me get a hair cut at daycare.  Renee always cuts my hair, and she asks momma this, "Do you want the standard Westie cut?"  And what does momma say,? "yes"  Well I get to go into Renee's house and I get bathed, massaged, clipped toenails and this time I got shaved down.  My ears, my face my back.  I was practically naked.  I bet I lost a pound in hair.  But to others, the less hair you have, the bigger the ears you have.  I was afraid people might start calling me dumbo or the Easter bunny or a white bat.  My ears never looked so big.  All momma could think was that I looked like an albino schanuzer.  I guess next time I get my hair cut, I will have to bring a picture of the Westie in the Caesar dog food commericals.  As payback to my momma, I have decided I must spoon with her (directly cuddle with her) at night.  If she tries to get away from me at night, I just follow her, for I am a cold puppy.   Here is a picture of my hair cut.  Please don't call me names or laugh, but really I do look like an Albino Schnauzer.

My New Career!

My momma has come to realize my new career in life.  At first she was hoping it was just a phase, a very expensive phase for her, but I so love using the creative side of my brain that I am turing this into a career.  Thus, my momma better get smart or get a raise to support my new career/habit.  I have decided I want to be in alterations.  Most specifically, I am an underwear alterations kind of dog.  It doesn't matter if they are expensive underwear, cheap underwear.   I really prefer Victoria Secret kind of underwear, but Hanes and Jockey will do as well.   It doesn't matter if it is cotton, spandex lycra, lace or polyester.  I can alter anything I put my mind too.  My most favorite alteration designs include crotchless underwear.  At times I get carried away and the hole turns into a cut in the crotch or big missing sections.  I have also started branching my abilities to create peep holes in the front and fart holes in the back.  If you'd like I can even do combinations of all three.  Needless to say, momma isn't too happy.  She has even started to fill a basket with my creations to fix with her sewing machine.  Momma also wouldn't let me post any creations, so you will just have to use your imagination!   If anyone wants to support my career, you can send clean donations in the mail to momma.

Little White Barkley

I didn't know quite why my momma always laughed at me when I would go outside, so I asked her.  When she was growing up, she remembers this antique book which a lion ran and ran around a tree to make butter for pancakes.  I guess I remind her of  the lion when I go outside.  I love my tree in the backyard.  You can see me.  Do you think it is funny?  I just want to tell the world that this is my tree!
