Bee Sting Pics

The top three pics are of Truck's eye as it swelled. It ended up swelling completely shut but I was too worried about him to bother taking a picture (sorry!) The last picture is the best and only pic we could get of his swollen lip. It's blurry but it is about 5 times bigger than it should be. That darn dog and his obsession with bees!!

BEES!!!

Mommy and Daddy are a little frustrated with me right now. See, I really like to chase the bees in our yard. Which normally wouldn't be a problem except they usually end up biting me. When I get bit, I swell up like a balloon!!! I got bit right above the eye on Thursday and my eye swelled shut. Then on Friday I got bit on the lip and it swelled up three times it's normal size! I'm not allergic but I do have quite a reaction to the stings. Benadryl clears it up in a few hours. I just can't remember when I'm outside, not to play with the bees!! Mommy got a picture of my eye right after it happened but I wouldn't sit still for a good pic of my lip. (She will post the eye pic tomorrow.) So now I have Mommy and Daddy all worried and they watch me like a hawk when I'm outside. Yeesh! Mommy said all the people who work at the vet hospital know her name by now cause she calls them about me all the time! I'm just a big ball of trouble hee hee!

I just can't help it!
I like to keep Mommy and Daddy on their toes! :)

Growing up

So I was thinking yesterday that since I just turned 5 months old maybe its time for me to start acting my age, you know... more like the teenager that I am. So I decided I was going to sleep on my own bed last night instead of Mom and Dads bed. Of course I did ask them if I could put my bed beside their bed in their room... Baby steps ya know ;-) So, I decided it was time for bed, so I walked into the bedroom and laid down... Dad went and got me my favorite pillow that I like and a few of my toys and my special blanket. I got comfy and fell asleep... Well, I guess I didnt realize how difficult this was actually going to be. I was laying there on my bed and I woke up and it was totally dark and quiet! The longer I laid there I couldnt take it! I HAD to get in bed with Mom and Dad. So I got up and put my from paws on the bed, Dad woke up when he felt me and he grabbed me under my bum, picked me up and gave me a big hug and kiss and put me between him and Mom. It was SO COMFY and safe I fell asleep in about 10 seconds. I guess I'm not totally ready to be independent yet.

Wednesday Wisdom

"Dogs are miracles with paws."

"He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need him. And I expect I will - as I always have. He is just my dog." - Gene Hill

Another funny frisbee pic...

Motorcycles and Frisbees

So lately when I go for a ride in the Jeep with Mommy and Daddy I've been noticing these strange things. I see a person, but they are not in a car and they usually have a big round thing on their head. Dad says these people are riding "motorcycles" Hmph. Whatev Dad. He says it's ok when they are behind us while we are driving but I don't think so. I get real close to Mom and Dad and give my scariest, loudest bark just to let them know that I mean business! They better stay away from me and my people! I don't care what Dad says, there is something fishy about those "motorcycles"!

I got a new frisbee to play with and when I pick it up and carry it around people always giggle and tell me how funny I am! I don't know why....

Mondays are so poopy :(

I really don't like Mondays. It means Mommy and Daddy have to go back to work. I hate it when they go to work. I miss them SO much!

I'm sleepy today so this will be a quick post.

I am 65lbs now! Growing bigger everyday! And I am learning new things all the time! I can now sit, lay down, get up, and give paw all by just watching hand signals! I don't need to hear the words anymore! Mommy and Daddy said that I am SO smart! I just really like to get the treats when I do things right...hee hee!!

Well, I'm gonna go catch up on my beauty rest now. I gotta stay cute forever, ya know! ;-)

Later,
Truck
