I is for Ice cubes, A to Z Challenge

Ever since I was a little puppy, momma has been putting ice cubes in my water bowl. She also puts them in my crate sometimes, or even on the floor. It is pretty fun to push them with my nose. I also like to eat them sometimes, but I spit them out pretty fast. They make my tongue really cold.

Ice is also nice to play with when it is really hot out. It helps to cool me down really fast. The toddler likes to play with ice too and we have a fun time together. She squeals and throws it around the room and I chase it. Good times.

H is for Hot, A to Z Challenge

It is going to be pretty warm out this week, momma says so anyway. It is not so fun in the summer time for me because I have such a thick coat. I will shed a bunch of it, all over momma’s floor, but I still keep a lot of fur on me.

I was derfurminated at the doggie store 2 weeks ago. All this means is for one day I don’t shed a lot but I pick right back up again. The hotter it gets the more I shed, but I am still hot. When I come in from making my pee pees I have a funk. I get sweaty and stinky out there.. so says momma anyway.

I won’t get to play outside as much once it gets too hot, which will be in a few days. It kind of makes me sad because I can’t chase the bunnies as much, but it is also nice because I get more time to play with the toddler. I guess summer is ok after all…

G is for Good Dog, A to Z Challenge

You all know my name is Alia, but my momma and the toddler like to call me Good Dog sometimes too. 

Actually quite a bit. 

I am a good dog as it turns out.

Sometimes I am good when I play super careful with the toddler. I know she is still smaller than me and I don’t want to hurt her. I do sometimes knock her down when we are running, but it is my accident, and she always pops back up. 

We have a good time running in the living room. The best part though, is when we are both done running, and we lay on the floor together. The toddler pets me then, and momma says Good Dog a lot. 

Then the toddler says it too.

I am a very Good Dog.

F is for fur A to Z Challenge day 6

Fur. I am covered in fur. I have more fur than 4 cats in the middle of a summer day when the air conditioner is broken.

My mom cleans the floor often, but I make it a very specific goal to shed handfuls every day to replenish the supply. I want to make sure momma doesn't get bored.

She loves to clean my fur.

She gave up on using the vacuum cleaner because it fills up in seconds, no matter how often I shed.

I am glad she stopped with that noisy thing. It hurts my ears, even when she sends me outside when she uses it.

The toddler doesn't like it either.

The toddler DOES like my fur balls though. She picks them up and carries them around. Momma doesn't like that though. Especially when the toddler tries to eat the hair. EWWWWWW!

E is for Exciting

E is for excited today.

Here is a brief list of things that are exciting to me:

1. Toddlers, love them

2. Toddler's food, mmmm

3. Toddler's toys, mmmmm

4. Dad - I love my momma, but MAN I am happy to see Daddah when he gets home from work. I practically wag my bottom off. He smells great.

5. Grilling- sometimes Daddah drops food and I eat it

6. The car- I love going places in the car. Sometimes if it is a long trip I get sick and need benadryl. One time I even went on a long trip with momma and got so sick I pooped in her office. She gave me bendaryl ever since that trip and now I don't poop except where I should.

7. Other dogs- they smell great. OMG. Especially their butts.

8. Paper. I like to eat it.

9. Bunnies- in the yard. I chase them. I go nuts when I see them. I have never caught one. (momma says PHEW...)

10. Schnuggles. I get really excited when I get schnuggles. I may step on you. I may push my head all up on you. I may lick you, but only if you smell like I should. I am not much of a licker really.
