Awake early

Dear Daddy and Mummy,

We were really tired last night and slept like puppies. I woke up really early because I had to pee and made Uncle Mike take me out in the rain. It was still dark and raining cats and dog. I had to pee and Brutus had to poop.  All three of us were wet but came in and went back to bed. Then he made us get up at 9:00. How dare he! But at least he gave us kibble. Brutus needed to be coaxed into eating his, but I gobbled mine right down.  Then Brutus got his medicine. Why don’t I get medicine?

We’re going to Boston in a little while.  I hope we get treats there.

Wuv,

Buddy.

Field trip

Dear Mummy and Daddy,

Woof.

Buddy and me are with Uncle Mike in some place called Rhode Island. I’m not sure why they call it an island, though. We didn’t cross any bridges to get here.

The car ride was okay. Uncle Mike put those awful car harnesses on us and strapped us into the back seat. Buddy was scared and whined and cried for at least 15 minutes until Uncle Mike gave in and strapped him into the front seat.

His bed is really comfy, but I can’t jump up onto it by myself. Buddy can, though. His house is great because there are all kinds of things to sniff and smell. There is even a bunch of toys that came from our house. Did you pack those for us? He even has food and water bowls for us. We each have our own bowls, just like at home!

Tomorrow, Uncle Mike is taking us to Boston and we’re going to play in his new house. He says we might see another dog named Nemo while we’re there.

This field trip is going to be fun, but we can’t wait to come home on Sunday. We’re all really tired after an exciting day, so it’s time for the three of us to snore the night away.

Wuv,

Brutus

Petsmart

So, last night in Petsmart, I *nearly* bought Buddy or Brutus (whichever would stand still long enough) one of these:

But they are far far too butch for that, so instead I got them a fake tire.

Brutus

Today marks the one year birthday of Brutus as a member of our family. We picked up him a year ago today!

Pineapple

This morning, Buddy was woofing at a pineapple.

We weren’t chasing him with it, or playing a game, it was sitting on the counter.

I think our dog is a bit wrong in the head
