I guess I didn't think this job would be as tough as it is. I have to get up in the morning, she opens the door to my room and I leap out for a stretch and wait while she gets on her coat. I don't really need her to watch me pee, but it gets her out of the house at least once. I'll be glad when the green stuff is back, cause then we can go for walks. The white stuff makes everything too cold and my hair is very short and doesn't really keep me warm. So then she gives me treats, neat deal, pee and get a treat. Works for me.
She eats her breakfast, the same dang thing everyday. Cup of tea and a Toaster Strudle, raspberry flavor. They are all right but I like her supper food better. Meat, shrimp, pasta and my favorite, lasagna. She then goes into the office, never changes, every day eat, go to office. At least I get to see some different things in this room. I can get right up on her desk. She even put a pillow up there so I won't get cold on the glass top. It's great, I get to see who is going out and who is walking their dogs. Lucky dogs but they all have long hair. They probably hate the green time as they are too hot. Besides cold is better for cuddling.
Gotta tell ya. Mom, gets some beauty stuff from the daughter of the lady who lives across the street and the lady always gives Mom a special favor. Well, this time when she came over and left a stick that Mom puts up to her lips. Well, she always wears some goop on her lips and I don't usually pay attention, but this one smells like chocolate. And it tastes good too. I love to kiss her, especially when she wears the chocolate.

Widget's Tail
Things are winding down in my duties to Bill. Though she still mourns Bill and I am sure she will never cease, she and I have to get down to the business of living. This winter is long and confining. I was just getting her to go out every day when this dang white stuff came along. It's cold and wet and not fun to walk in. She prefers the season as she likes to sit and write and sometimes in the evening, rather than turn on the picture box, she just reads. Which is fine by me, she lets me sit in her lap as long as I don't try to kiss her neck.
She has this green thing that looks like a book, but it isn't like her other ones. They must have lots and lots of stories in that thing, cause it's like her favorite. I don't know why it is so special, but whatever makes her happy is fine by me.
When I have to go out, I have to touch that white stuff and I hate it. But I am a big boy now and don't go in the house. She's so proud. Anyway, sometimes the guys at the back fence bark at me and I try to go way back there, but man is that stuff hard to run in. It creeps up around your legs and almost holds you in place. I'll be glad when they bring back the green stuff. It's warmer and much more fun to run in. Besides, it is better for my favorite thing, digging. I can't wait till I can dig up some of the bones I buried, if I can remember where I put them.
That groundhog thingy says six more weeks of winter, hope he's right cause more than that I don't want to do.

I'm helping her, really
This weather is as poopy as I used to be. Before the snow was deep and Mom would shovel a path for me, but now it's a little warmer and the snow has melted a bit. When you walk where she shoveled its all mud and when I jump on the glass door it leaves muddy paw prints. I think it's kind of a nice design, but she is forever taking the prints off.
I got a new place to sit when she is writing. She cleaned off a whole side of her desk and put a pillow up there for me. It's neat I can sleep on the pillow or just look out the window. The stuff that goes on at this side of the house is much different that the back side of the house. Here you see people and sometimes other dogs and cars. The man across the street drives his up and down the street all day.
I don't think I would want a car. The only place they take me is to Kenny's house or the doctor. I like Kenny's house cause that is where Scar lives, but I don't like the doctor's so much. Sometimes they poke me with a needle and that's not too bad but I hate it when they grab my paws and snip off the nails. Cripes sake I bit most of them down, but I have to keep some of them long so I can open the door to the bathroom. She can't go in there alone. It's dark and small and I don't think she should be alone. She needs me to protect her. Bill would want it that way.

Another Year!
Wow, I can't believe another year has gone by. It was only yesterday I was still a pup. It was kind of a tough year for Mom, but she's doing okay. The most significant thing for me was the white stuff. I don't mind it as much as I did when I first saw it, but that stuff is nasty. It's cold and if you are as short as I am walking through it is not fun. However it tastes okay and I like how it bunches up on my snout when I walk through it. But most of the time it is way too deep. Mom shovels a path for me to potty, so I guess I can put up with it. I'll be glad when it is gone for awhile cause I like going through leaves much more than snow. Leaves make crackling sounds and snow is way too silent. I love noise especially if I am making it.
I just figured out how to get on Mom's desk. Not just my paws all of me. I can see out the window the lady across the street is using some machine to move snow. Geeze, she's all bundled up like she was at the North Pole. Maybe it's real cold out there, I only stay out long enough to empty. Mom doesn't like outdoors too much and when the white stuff is here I agree with her.
As I am getting older I find some of the things I liked to do as a pup are just not as much fun as they used to be, but I still love teasing Mom. She gets hyper when I take pens or paper. Pens crunch when you bite them and depending on the kind of paper it makes neat sounds when you tear it. and she runs after me and never can catch me. She has to trick me to catch me. She'll give me a treat to make me drop the pen or paper. She is so easy to fool. I don't care about the pen or the paper, but I do love treats. And she thinks I'm the one that's trained. LOL

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas folks,
I hope everyone has safe and happy holidays. Remember the most important thing is the love. Without it flowers wither, countries fall and the human condition becomes unbearable. I got lots of love. I kiss her in the morning and the night and anytime in between I can catch her. I was sent to her because of the love her late husband had for her though she still misses him I do my best to keep her smiling. Sometimes I have to trick her but hey whatever works. I love to take things she thinks are just her's. But, heck I live here too. Those paper plates are not just for eating off of. I tear them apart and she starts running after me. She is sooo slooow. I can be in three different rooms before she even realizes where I am. These little legs can move.
I think I am about a year old now so maybe I will slow down a little in time, but for now it is full steam ahead.
I guess the big day is nearly upon us, but it will be quiet for us. We will spend the day watching TV and maybe she'll make some cookies. I like cookies. And cake and pie and crackers, and lettuce most everything except peas. Those little green things are pooey.
I am taking a week off so I'll see you next year

Resolutions
Mom tells me the year is almost over. She seems happy about it, but it has no real significance to me. I find the colder weather is not so much fun. Did you know that white stuff is COLD? I tell ya the first time I saw it, I though what the heck is this stuff? Then I stepped in it. It wasn't good. I picked up my paw quick, but then had to figure out how to walk without putting my paws in it. Well, that didn't work. So I did my business as fast as I could and got back into the warm house. I 'm little, kinda close to the ground, so my tranny was dragging in snow (that's what she calls it) so as fast as I could I yellowed the snow and moved back into the family room. Man is that a relief!
Every day it seems I have to learn something new. She used to let me sit in her lap at the table, but now can't do that cause I'm a big boy. No really, I'm 13.3 pounds. I guess that is too much for a lady with a little lap. But she still lets me sit in her lap on the couch. It's kinda funny, I jump up on her stomach when she is laying down and she goes oof when I land.
I still have to learn how to come when I am called but I know that already, she just thinks I don't understand. Ha ha, that's a gotcha, when she calls if I see a treat in her hand I'll come running, but if I have something she wants in my mouth, I am going, not coming. I suppose when I get older that stuff will now be so much fun, but right now it's a hoot.
I remember heaven and Jesus,( nice guy funny clothes,) and know how to celebrate his birth. Down here everyone seems to be rushing to get things done, but I remember the quiet times and thankfulness that he gave up everything, just so we (everybody on earth) could be unafraid.
Bill is looking down and checking if I am taking good care of Dee I do my best, loving is my best talent. I'll be watching to see if everyone I meet is kind and nice.

Christmas Shopping
Had to go to the vet today. Got weighed 13.3 lbs, I guess that is one pound over what they told Mom I could weigh. I knew I was kind of heavy cause she goes Offf when I jump on her. They clipped my nails, the few I don't bite. Trouble is it is hard to open the door on the bathroom without longer nails. I can't let her go alone in there.
Then we went shopping. At my favorite store, the pet store. I can go in and get in the basket and pick out what I like. It's hard for Mom to buy me things without me, cause she really doesn't know what I like. Oh, she thinks she does, but uh uh. She used to buy toys with stuffing but can't do that any more cause I tear them apart and eat it. Then I get sick. So she tries to buy me stuff that I can't rip and eat. Usually she buys boring stuff, but today I saw this toy it was hard and made a funny noise. It is red and it is now my favorite. Mom throws it for me and I chase it and take it to her. I could run all day but she gets worn out. She used to sleep whenever I did, but now she works on her stories while I sleep on her lap.
I hope you all have a wonderful time shopping, I really thought it was great fun. She says tomorrow she will make xmas cards. I have no clue what that is but I didn't get the impression she thought it was great fun.
