Happy 2009 -- What a week!

Wow! Sorry it has been so long since I updated. Happy New Year!! I can't believe I'll be 1 year old this year! Mom says maybe when I turn one I can stop being a brat. Don't tell her I said this, but I don't think I'll ever stop being a brat!

Mom and I drove home to North Carolina last Saturday. I accidentally chewed through a christmas stocking (mom was not happy). I guess it wasn't an accident, you try being in a car for fourteen hours and being well behaved! Oops. Other than that little "issue" mom and I made it here safely and it is pretty nice to be home. I couldn't dig any holes in Massachusetts. Trust me, I tried but the ground there is really COLD and HARD! I can't remember if I put any pictures of me in the snow so here's a fun one! I loved the snow but am happy that I don't have to deal with it all the time.

On Sunday mom took me to petsmart to get my nails clipped. She said I was such a good girl I could pick out any toy in the store that I wanted. After jumping on a few innocent people and pulling mom around, I picked out a cute little alligator. Mom told me it can be my car toy when I'm on my way to daycare and whenever she has me in the car. It's a sturdy alligator too. I've been trying to bite a hole in the tail but I am having a really hard time. Oh! The first picture is Nala and I on the way to get our toes done!! She's a really cool dog but her teeth are a little crooked. I think when I get bigger, we'll be good friends!

Earlier this week, I went to daycare. I love going there. Unfortunately, Bruce wasn't there this time but there were some other nice dogs there. Mom dropped me off nice and early and then I played ALL day! I was so excited to see mom at the end of the day that I accidentally pee'd on the floor. Here is a nice picture mom took of me on the way home. It is always so funny to be in the car with her because she's always taking pictures!! Don't worry dad, she waits to break out the camera at stoplights.

Here is one of mom's crazy pictures she took...look! you can see my ALLIGATOR toy!

What else what else what else..Bruce came over with Laura and Steph on Wednesday to watch the people's choice awards. We had tons of fun! It was our first real date. Sorry dad, your little puppy bear is growing up!

Tonight I'm just hanging out chewing on my rawhide toy. Mom won't let me chew on the couch anymore because it is hard to clean so she's been sitting on the floor with me a lot so that she makes sure I have plenty of attention. She promised me that tomorrow we're going to go get me a new crate. I'm a little big for this one. Maybe she'll make this crate my travel crate because I can't imagine a bigger crate in the back of her car! I can't believe how big I've gotten. I can't wait for dad to come home and see me. Mom told me they've been talking about him coming home and I am just SO excited. I can't wait for all of the fun we're going to have! I could just go run around in circles in the backyard because I am THAT excited!!

Well I am going to get to bed, I am going to go on some pretty long walks this weekend so I can burn off some energy. Mom said once it starts getting lighter out she's going to take me on walks every day after work!

Ok, I am really tired now.

Goodnight!
