Letting Off Some Winter Steam - At The Park

Where do I even start???

Last night I jumped up on Devin's bed. We hung out there together for a bit, then Devin evicted me to my bed (beside the big bed).  I didn't complain much at all.  Since Devin gave me the memory foam for my "old bones" to lay on, i've been in heaven.  I still prefer my "nest bed", but i'm coming around.

 I'm a lot like Devin, I end up in every other position while sleeping.  MONKEY!!!!

Today:

1) We went for a walk this morning - ALONG OUR SUMMER ROUTE!
It felt good to stretch my legs.  On our way back home we met up with Bonnie and "Henry".
Henry stayed on the other side of the street, as Bonnie said he needs to learn his manners.  He's a rescue too :)
A black lab - FULL OF ENERGY!  

Maybe when Henry calms down we can be friends??

On our way back home we stopped in to see Nana and Rye-Lee.  It was a quick visit; long enough to sneak in a quick nap and treat.

Once back home Devin got ready to go into town.  I didn't really care much for this. In fact I did some pacing and panting.  Devin told me I'd be alright and that I'd be getting a few KONGS soon.  I didn't care, I didn't want to be alone. :(

Devin gave me 4 KONGS, I quickly forgot what I was bent out of shape over.

Nom nom, leaving? huh? er..nom nom see ya!!

 

Devin had to go to town to pick up a headlight bulb.  Once home it wasn't the right one :(

Lucky for me though that meant I was going on a roadtrip!!!

We went to wal-mart, Benson's then over to see Melissa with the light bulb. Always heaps of lovin' when I see Melissa.  She will forever be the one who showed me how comfy a bed is. heehee*

Road trip

Checkin' things out...

This got old quick....

If you could read my mind?

Hmmmm...Where are we going now Devin??

I was told that we'd be going to the park. Even though it was against Devin's better judgment.....

I'll just curl up now. Wake me up when we get there....

 As we rolled up I came to life in the backseat. I ALWAYS know when we're getting to the park!
My tail was wagging  a mile(o) minute. Devin couldn't get those winter boots on fast enough for my liking!

It looked pretty icy when we walked up to the park. Once inside it wasn't bad at all.  The "ice" was actually slushy stuff.  I poked around for a bit, then "Pheobe" came.  I just met her today :)   Her daddy was one of the people involved with getting this park up and running for us all.  We thanked her Dad :)

Checking things out

Where's Milo?

Trala lalalalala

Devin decided it was a bit chilly with the wind for me to be without a jacket. On it came *meh*
The pink football came out too. YAY! (against Devin's better judgment).....

Pheobe trailing behind me. She tried to chase after the ball but her little legs couldn't keep up with my grasshopper legs!

Me n' Pheobe

Takin' a break!

Devin saw that cut up on my rear back foot and one of my front feet.  there was a bit of blood, nothing major, but still a cut for me.

ouchie....

The fun came to an end.  Back home we had to come.

 Once home Devin decided that I was due for a bath.  I didn't think I needed one and slinked the whole way into the bathroom.  I had a bubble bath soak for my feet, and Devin washed me down. 

Once out, Devin told me "We're cleaning those ears of yours".  my tail dipped between my legs and my head...well I could have tripped over it i was hanging it so low.  I DO NOT LIKE EAR CLEANING TIME.

mini protest to ear cleaning. found what "corner" i could in that bathroom of Devin's and curled up. 

Today I was a bit dramatic with the ear cleaning, i let out a little cry here and there when Devin hadn't even put the solution in my ears.  NOTE TO SELF* wait for drops to enter inside ears before whining*

Ahhhh Clean from my bath..

 When Devin finished with my ears, the bathroom door was opened and I made a run for my "nest".  Safety amongst friends/"stuffies".

Devin did give me a cookie for being such a good boy.   

Now just about all my bedding along with my car hammock and blanket are in the wash. 
Things will soon smell nice by human standard...I'll work at getting my own smell (cedar chip smell) back on things.

Just For The Record..

Nana pointed out that I made an typo yesterday in my blog post.

FOR THE RECORD

"Back home we came, supper was served, gobbled that up long with my pillow that was "hidden" in the pumpkin.  More pumpkin than pill. Makes things tolerable".



SHOULD HAVE READ

"Back home we came, supper was served, gobbled that up long with my "PILL" that was "hidden" in the pumpkin.  More pumpkin than pill. Makes things tolerable".


:)

Adjusting?

I worried Devin some this morning.  We did our usual morning ritual before "work", only today I went trotting to the door with a look of concern on my face. I was pacing and panting while Devin was getting ready.

I finally calmed down some when Devin went over to the couch and sat down for a bit.  I wandered on into my "nest". Devin waited a few moments then got up and went to leave for work. I ran right back to the door.
Devin told me that Nana would be here later and that we'd see each other later. I wasn't convinced....

Devin closed the door while I gave my perfected "sad look".    I didn't fuss, Devin made it down the hall, and up the stairs.  No peep. Then the heavy door closed :(

Ah well, I have the next couple of days to hang out with The Devin.

When Devin came home from work I was curled up on the bed pressing against the pillows.  I found my new favorite spot.  It didn't take me long to connect Devin + home = DINNER!!!!! I rolled back and forth on the bed, then jumped to my feet and bolted off the bed. I ran right to my dish waiting for Devin to "feeeeeed my beeelllllyyy".   We went outside for a quick walk first though.  Not too far, but far enough to get things done.  Back home we came, supper was served, gobbled that up long with my pillow that was "hidden" in the pumpkin.  More pumpkin than pill. Makes things tolerable.

After my feast I tired to my "nest".  Devin gave me an after dinner snack (small milkbone!!!).

Bed time again....  beauty rest - it's how i maintain my ridiculously good looks :) hehe

Not so sneaky ways....

I found my way into the bedroom in the weeeee hours of the morning. I decided it was also time to clean my feet/legs, you know, body maintenance stuff.  Devin had to tell me several times to "milo", "stop", "please stop", "milo, enough".  I didn't listen though, it was about me and my self bathing routine. 

When Devin woke up in the morning I was found laying like this (below photos):

hanging almost half off my bed.  Memory Foam beds are the bestestest!!!!

Cheap head rush. ...

Devin tried to get me to "Let's go outside"

Nope. Can't make me....

Up, stretch, and.....

back down I went.....

Not helping Devin any...

This evening I was right at the door when Devin turned the key.  I was ready for supper!!!  Devin couldn't serve it up fast enough.   I'd like to also make note that I'm on to Devin (again). This slipping of a pill inside a spoon full of pumpkin. *ack*

After supper I found my way back on my bed. I found my way back on my bed. 

Back on my bed...

Long "sad" face

Evidence - I found my way up on Devin's bed.  hehehe  Sprawled out on the pillows earlier; Not so great at making the bed after i've been in it.

Er uhm, busted. Proof.

Nana came over this afternoon to take me outside. Nana only had to drop down a few cranberries, called me twice and i came out from Devin's room.  I'm learning. "Wanna go outside", "Let's go outside" isn't such a bad thing.
 Also I met a new friend.  Cross between a bichon frise and a shih tzu.    :)

Early morning again tomorrow.  Off to bed!

PS When Devin left for work this morning I came out to see the departure.  My ears weren't the usual "HIGH ALERT" Where are you going without me stance????
They were flopped over to one side like windshield wiper blades.  :)   Again, learning....

Ch ch ch changes....

Devin's new bed came home tonight, before it was set up though I had one last cuddle on the old mattress.  Melissa and Sherry R came over to help set things up and take out the old. 

All the extra people and movement around the apartment had me a little stressed. I wasn't sure what was coming or who was going.  Was I going to be next ????

Sneaky persistent Melissa managed to convince me to come lay down with her.

Hanging out with Melissa on the "old" bed.

My "improved" bed.  Me likes the memory foam.  Have I died and gone to heaven???

Looking at Sherry R while she takes my photo.  I feel like someone on that TMZ show! *flash flash flash, click click click*

I haven't jumped up on the new bed just yet.  I think I'll wait for Devin to go to work, then i'll make myself comfy. I was already warned not to fall off the bed, it's a long way down.

Time for bed!

Old Habits Die Hard...

This afternoon Devin and Nana went to town for a little bit. Before leaving I was panting and pacing up a storm while Devin got dressed. 
I was given my KONGS (only 3 of them this time) and Devin flipped on the Country music station for me.

I gobbled up my KONGS while Devin was gone, upon the return Devin had to carefully open the door. I had plopped myself down against the door.  I was really happy to see Devin!  I had been on the carpet for sometime, (Devin felt the rug, it was quite warm).

Devin is modifying my bed in "our" bedroom. In the process of trying to unzip my bed cover Devin broke the zipper :(  
For the now Devin's memory foam has been folded up and put on to of my bed, covered up with a fuzzy blanket.

My new setup.  Devin's on the ground with me (new bed coming)

Just another manic ...Thursday  :)

If you could read my mind.........

 I found a comfy spot on Devin's bed :)

Winter Blahs

I like it when there is fresh snow on the ground.  I get an evil case of the zoomies! hehe  Last night I tried to take Nana for a run a few times. Good thing she had me close by when I decided to try and launch myself forward.

Devin worked nights these past few days.  I've done really well on my own.  Each night I've been given a cup of food, then just before Devin heads out the door  I'm given the balance of my supper in my KONGS. 

No crying, upset no nothing.  Shannon from Shannoncourt was right!

Since Devin relocated my first bed into my "nest", i haven't slept much in the bedroom. I'll go in there for a little bit, but for the most part i can be found out in my "nest".  The current bed beside the "big bed" isn't as comfy.  Devin tried to jack it up with blankets n' stuff, but it's just not the same. Meh*

Here's a rare glimpse of me sleeping on my bed in the bedroom.

Put your right foot in, take your right foot out... *la la* shake it all about......

Body pillow has been keeping me from getting under the bed. foiled!

Decided to join the land of the living  - well kinda

 While Nana dropped by today we did some "target training".  I was tuckered out  after my session.

I'm really doing well with the "COME MILO" command.  Well only during the training sessions, but it will come. :)


After supper Devin managed to round me up and put me in my jacket.  Apparently it was time to go outside. *ugh*  I had already been out this morning at 6am.  Isn't that enough????

Protesting "out".  When Devin closes my "nest" door, I first try and hide in my usual spot (between my "nest" and couch) as of late I've tried to go between the kitchen table and my "nest". I try and slink around the table, but Devin always catches me and redirects me towards the door.

Also in SAD NEWS****
Nan is moving at the end of April :(  Her and her family are moving back to town.  I've gone from 2 greyt friends to having no greyt friends (soon).  First Lucy, now Nan.  Maybe come spring I can make some more at the park??  Just not the same....
