N' somma da otha pawds
Deys dweebs and ankle bite-ahs
But life down heeya
It's totally primo
If ya know what I'm sayin....

Open Doors

I heard a whispered knocking
Calling in the morning
It drew me from my covers
It led me to a door
So patiently I waited
Upon a cold hard floor.
I felt alluring warmth
Rising sun beyond the glass
It reminded me of summers
It made me yearn for more
As my patience slowly ebbed
Like water from the shore.
I caught a muffled pattering
My master's unclad feet
They lumbered through the hallway
It thrilled me at my core
Alas, a patient curs reward
This opening of door.

Chloe reporting in with my side-kick Raleigh. Yeah, we hang out sometimes.

So the old folks took us on a journey this week. Did a lot of car riding and waiting before we got to the W A L K ....yip yippee!

My Christmas Blog

Well the house is a mess but outside is looking pretty good.
G'ma's been busy outside while G'pa makes a mess inside. Beats going out in the dark at night.

Raleigh and I are hanging in there 'cause I'm told it's that time of year when Sandy Claws comes. I'm trying to be good. I don't know about Raleigh, but we both had to put up with picture taking by G'ma and it was hard to keep sitting still. "Dang, it's cccooooold out here, wwwwwoooman!" Stupid Raleigh just sits there - "Pozzzer"
Anyway, I hope you all out there are bein' good, 'cause Sandy Claws is coming sometime....I think....pretty sure....unless this is a mean hoax.....naaaah.....
.....maybe he'll bring me BACON.....yeah yeah BACON!

Catch up time...

Just wanted to catch you humans upon my dog's life. I know how you like to keep an eye on us pampered pets. So, I've been catching up on my reading with G'pa. He turns the pages a little fast and it ticks me off when I'm really getting into the story. Oh well, I'm only into books with pictures anyway.
As you can see from this photo, I'm in the midst of house renovation - Again. What's up with this family? They always seem to be tearing up a floor somewhere and moving stuff around. Just when I get comfy, something else moves.
Well, just as long as my food bowl doesn't disappear, we'll be ok.
Later Gator

OWOOOoooo-rrf...

Got my workout the other night. Weird creatures kept showing up at the door. Grandma or Grandpa Miller would get up, toss them treats and close the door. Note: No matter how much I howled, there were NO treats being tossed my way. How Rude! To make things worse, Grandma insisted on putting that stupid green outfit on with the annoying part that they keep trying to pull my ears through - AUGH! The only redeeming part of this ritual was watching Raleigh get strapped with my pumpkin outfit; not as constraining as mine, but at least I'm not alone in my torment. I feel I've been keeping up my duty as "Howler In Chief", so I'm not sure why I must endure these embarrassments. At any rate, I will give Grandma kudos for remembering bedtime treats at the end of the evening.
"Until next time, Keep your nose to the ground and tail in the air."
Signing off ...
How-OW-lerrrrr in Chief,
Chloe Miller

Do you smell something????

I don't think Grandma is very happy with me. I'm not sure why. She's been pretty grumpy, locked me in the bathroom and gave me a cold water hose bath.
It all started after I went out for a little outside time. I found my sunny spot (the sun finally came out today) and was minding my own business when this wonderful odor wafted into my nostrils. It lured me over and the last thing I remember was this wonderful ecstacy of rolling and rubbing. Then Grandma called me inside.

I don't think Grandma is very happy with me.

I feel like such a criminal...

....taking mug shots.

When I got to the deck, Grandma started yelling at me and grabbed me up, taking me straight to the bathroom.

"CHLOOOEEE!!!!!"

She locked me in with Raleigh for a looong time.
When she finally released us, she grabbed me up, put me on the leash and took me outside, where she proceeded to shoot cold water at me and rub me down with some foamy stuff. She turned me on my head, rolled me around and continued to pour the freezing cold water all over me. How Rude!
I will admit the towel rubbing felt pretty good and things are going pretty good right now. I really don't know what that was all about, but Grandma is pretty scary sometimes.
