Katie has informed me that because of my leaky bladder issues (Im incontinent...didnt know if you knew that one or not) I will be recieving a diaper on Friday. GGGGGRRRRREEEEAAAATTTT. I am not happy! I will most likely, while Katie is gone, eat them one by one....because I am way too cool for diapers! HMMMMMPH

Well thats really all the news for now....I'll let you know on Friday how the diaper situation goes!!

HI EVERYONE!!

I have been such a busy girl behaving this week! Katie has started giving me a peanut butter filled Goughnut every morning and I am no longer eating things, such as her CD's and books! I think she likes me a little more now when I am not doing that!! I have also been very good while we are walking. I am learning (and quickly I might add) to stop and sit at crosswalks! When I do I get treats!! I love treats!
Well I just wanted to catch you guys up on whats been going on in our household...I was told we may be getting a bird soon, I dont know how excited I am about that, but we shall see!

Have a GREAT day!!

BARTLES!!!

This is Bart. Being a dog!

GURNEE!!

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:23:00 +0000

So on Monday, we got to go to the park again. Just Katie, Pickles, Bart and me! We stayed for about an hour and I had sooooo much fun!! I ran and ran and Pickles and I got to wrestle all over the place! Bart played some in the water and then realized it was water and freaked out! But we all slept like logs the entire ride home!

I hope we get to go back again really soon!!

I hope all is well with everyone!

GOOD NIGHT

WOW its been FOREVER!

I have been so busy tearing up Katies new door and a book that I completely have not had time to update this blog! Im so sorry! Well to catch you up on the things you have missed, we moved. Very very confused about that. One day I was at my old place, then at Paul and Kevins, and then at this new place? It was such a strange week! I did really great the first week in my new place, but then I realized that I was in a new strange place and decided to start ripping the paint off Katie's brand new pretty door, she loved this. One day I even got one of her books! YUMMY!

She then started to bring me to the store, where I had to sit in a kennel, under the counter. I didnt like this at all. No fun!

However now I have my walkers back and I am back to my normal sleeping all day while Katie is gone. There are so many new smells up here that I am exhausted after all our walks!

I promise I will keep this more updated, now that I am not tearing apart the door, I have a lot more time!!

GOOD NIGHT

Im back!

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 04:32:00 +0000

Wow Its been a long time since I posted here! I've been very very busy! People have been trying to get in my home for about month, I have been told they are okay and there are just looking at it but I still dont like them. That has been keeping me extremely busy because I have to spend all day trying to hide all of my treats! I have gotten to stay with Paul and Kevin a couple of times, which is fun for a little bit, but boy am I ready to be home when Katie comes back!

Well I hope all of you are doing well. And Happy Easter!

Good Night!!

I have been having a really great week!! I LOVE the snow sooo much and Katie lets me play and play in it all the time. I also got a new shirt, I love it too! I wear all the time. I even wore it a couple days ago when I went to the store to see Paul!! It was sooo exciting, I love seeing Paul! Attached is a picture of me in my new shirt....I look sooo good!

Have a great day!

Today was such an AMAZING day!! Katie left really super early and I was distraught because she left my rawhide up in my bin.....so I barked and barked and barked and barked and barked. :) BUT THEN in the middle of the day someone came to walk me!! And we walked and walked and I was sooooo good and happy!! ANd right before she left she gave me my rawhide...I was sooo happy! Then Katie came home and I have her lots and lots of kisses, and then we went for another walk! Thats right three walks today! I was sooo happy and such a good girl. Plus I LOVE the snow!

GOOD NIGHT!

RATS!

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 03:18:00 +0000

Today was an exciting day!!! Well more tonight was exciting...when we went down the alley for our walk...a rat thats right a RAT ran under the gate. So of course I ran under the gate to get it, and got caught...and realized that it was much easier to get out once the gate was open! Then I tried to get the rat the entire walk! They were everywhere. I swear. I love rats.

I am exhausted now and am going to sleep for the rest of the night!

GOOD NIGHT!

Merry Christmas!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 05:52:00 +0000

Today was quite the day! Katie has been home for two days now, yesterday was Christmas and we went over to Paul and Kevin's, I was a little annoyed because of all the dogs, but it was an okay day! THEN today, she moved around the entire apartment, through out our tree, and used this new vacuum that moves on its own and chases me everywhere. I hated that! I also didn't enjoy the moving stuff around because I had no where to be, but she did bring me a new rug which I am extremely excited about!
Luckily tomorrow she is going back to work and I can go back to sleeping all day long. Without all these annoying disruptions!

GOOD NIGHT

Hmmph

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 04:52:00 +0000

So yesterday, on Katie's day off, we went to the store. I was so excited at first because I got to see Paul. I LOVE seeing Paul!!! But I thought that was all we were doing, but boy was I wrong! She made me get in a tub and then did my nails. I hate that! After my bath though I decided to break open a Kangaroo Tail treat that just happened to be at my height, so she had to give it to me. THEN she made me spend the entire day at the store, even though I was trying to get customers all day long.

Since eating that yummy treat I have had a tummy ache and have been sleeping non stop, especially after the mess I made for Katie when she got home tonight :)

Hopefully I will feel better and wont have to go back to the store for while!

Attached is a picture of me and my sad face!

GOOD NIGHT!

NEW!

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 07:19:00 +0000

Here's a photo of me before the snow showing off my great new coat!

SNOW!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 07:16:00 +0000

I got my new coat today and was very excited because I got to wear it in the snow! I love snow. I was burying my face in it to get to smells, and then had to shake it off because I would be covered!! Then I got to play with this Puggle and we were sliding all over the sidewalk and wrestling! It was soo much fun! Now I am exhausted and going to go to bed. Attached it a picture of my in my new pretty coat and the snow!!!!

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!

So this past week has been a very busy one! I had to go to the store on Friday with Katie, because she was home all day AGAIN. And she made me get a bath and did my nails. I was not happy at all! Although I did get to see Kevin and Bart. But after our bath she made me sit in the store forever. I was not happy! Yesterday it snowed and the sidewalks were ice! I was sliding all over and eating snow the entire walk!! It was very exciting. Other then that this has been a normal week, hopefully it will stay that way and Katie will go back to leaving all day!

GOOD NIGHT!

So Katie has been home with me the last two days ALL day, and I am starting to get annoyed, yesterday she moved around the house and then re-moved it back again, and cleaned everywhere! And if that wasn't enough today she brought a tree into the house. I don't get the tree and I am kind of annoyed she put it in here, but that's OK because I have been sleeping 24/7 these last couple days! Attached is a picture of the spot I have been in and haven't moved from!!!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

The Vet.

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 02:10:00 +0000

Today I was extremely excited when I woke up because I got to get in the car! We were driving for quite some time until we finally parked. I got to walk in a new neighborhood which was very exciting! AND THEN I SAW PAUL!! I was soooooooooooo excited to see him, and we went into the vets office with him! It was very exciting! I then saw Dr. Rovner! He was feeding me lots of treats, and I love treats! However, after the treats was when it all went downhill, another person came into the room and put me up on the table...weird. And then they stuck a needly in my arm...OOOOWWW. And if that wasnt bad enough, they put me on my side and held me down, even with three people holding me down though I still won and got up! HA! Which is when they decided that it was enough and I could go. While we were walking out I saw a kitty...! And said goodbye to Paul. We then drove all the way home where I fell asleep for the rest of the day. That was not what I wanted to do this morning! And I was worn out!

Lets hope I dont have to do that again for a while!
GOOD NIGHT!

5 dogs

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 07:54:00 +0000

I have still been pretty good. I had to go to the store yesterday to get a bath, and I was not very happy. I was trying to attack every dog that came in and I was attached to the tub!! Katie brushed me for about an hour and I was soooo annoyed but very patient! When we were done with the bath she put me in the car which was when I decided to rub myself all over the place to get my smell back! We then went for a nice long walk and then I came home and slept alll night long! Today was a pretty boring day, I sat at home all day while Katie was at work! Hopefully my good attitude will come back soon and it was just because I was in the store!

Wish me luck!
GOOD NIGHT!

SORRY..Its been soo long since my last post. But Katie and I have been super busy. We had to stay at Paul and Kevins with the other dogs...which I was not too happy about but still had fun playing all day! I also got to hang out in the store with Katie a couple of the nights, which I was excited about for about 5 minutes and then I was ready to go home! I was although very excited because I got to go to the airport TWICE, which I have never done before! The first time we dropped Paul and Kevin off which I was very upset and confused about, but then we went back and picked them up!! I was sooooo happy!

I have been a really good girl the last couple of weeks, so last week Katie and I went on a LOOOONG drive up north. I was extremely annoyed that she made me sit in the car that long, but when we finally stopped we were at a park where I could run and run with other dogs. It was soooo much fun and I was exhasuted.

We are finally back to normal, well as normal as it gets around here, and I am as happy as can be!

I will try to update this more often!

GOOD NIGHT!!!

So I have still been really good on our walks, however Katie has come home twice now to something chewed up! Two nights ago it was a pen...luckily I didnt get to the ink! and tonight it was half of one of her notebooks. I get really bored during the day when she is gone and apparently decided I wanted to eat her things! Although tonight when she saw the notebook I gave her my best sad face and everything was ok, although she still told me "no". I know its wrong but I get so lonely! Hopefully this is just a phase because Katie doesnt like me chewing things up...I dont know why.

Attached is a picture of the pretty blue scarf that Paul got me from the show...I love it :)

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 05:25:00 +0000

I have been doing really good lately. I seem to be over the bikers and joggers, because I haven't tried to attack a single one. I ignore them completely and keep walking on my way. Which means we get to walk farther then normal because I am being so good!! I do still get really excited when I see other dogs, but for the most part I sniff them and then move on, I am kind of rude that way! But they'll get over it! We are still a little nervous about my vet visit on Thursday but hopefully it will turn out alright and I can back to be normal again!!! We shall see! I haven't wet the bed in two nights, which is great!

I have also started to be incredibly adorable in the morning. Katie and I wrestle every morning! I like to throw myself on top of her and roll around! Its soooo much fun! I don't know what happened or what changed but I am doing excellent and everything is great over here!!!

Attached is a picture of me rolling around all over the bed....aren't I cute!

noreply@blogger.com (Shirley) — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 00:58:00 +0000

So its been a good week for me, attitude wise. However I have started to wet the bed while I am sleeping, which Katie does not like. I get to go to the vet on Thursday and hopefully he will tell us that everything is perfectly fine! Yesterday we took a two hour walk along the lake which I thoroughly enjoyed. I slept for the rest of the afternoon and night because I was so exhausted. We have been going on longer walks lately and I am enjoying every minute of it! I get to "chase" lots of quirrels and bunnies and cats! Thats my favorite thing to do!!! Well attached is picture of my at the lake. And I will try to update this more, especially after we go see the doctor!

GOOD NIGHT!!!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post but its been a busy week. Last Sunday night I got to stay with Kevin and the dogs for the night and then Monday during the day because Katie left me. It was okay but I was incredibly excited when she came home! Then, yesterday I got to go to the beach and roll around and get really dirty and gross. It was so much fun. But then Katie made me go to the store and take a bath...ew. I hate baths. Although when I was done I got to see Paul and Kevin and then I went home with them AGAIN!!! I was super excited to go play with Chuckie some more, although he wasn't too excited to see me. I stayed with them for the night and came back to the store today to go home with Katie. And let me tell you I am exhausted!! I am going to sleep through everything tonight, and probably wont even wake up tomorrow! Oh and by the way I am still doing extremely well on my walks and being outside. Katie is incredibly proud of me.

Have a good night!

Olive has officially found a new and GREAT home. She is moving at to the suburbs with a retired couple and a backyard. They are the parents of one of the employees. She is going to have a great life and we will be getting updates.
Meanwhile I am as happy as can be!!! Today we went to the small dog beach and I wrestled with a boxer and a pit bull mix in the water. I had a BLAST!!! And I was such a good girl! I am now exhausted because it was such a long and tiring walk, but I just wanted to share the fact that I again am the only dog in this house and absolutely loving it!! YEAH ME!

I had the best adventure ever yesterday!!!! So after Katie left for work, with Olive, I went to work at the back door, that Katie had forgotten to lock. :) After lots of work I got the back door open and took off. I was found on Halstead by a guy on a bike and eventually ended up in the back seat of some womans car!!! I thought she might take me to the store to see Katie but no instead Paul and Kevin came and picked me up!!! It was sooooo exciting, they took me to there house where I got to play with Chuckie for the rest of the afternoon until Katie came to get me. I was sooo proud of myself for escaping. We left Olive with Paul last night and I finally had my house back for at least one night. It was the best night of my life!
Then she came back..... :(
Lets hope I never do that again, because I think Katie was a little worried about me, but I sure did have a GREAT day!!!

A side note from Katie:
Olive is currently looking for a new more permanent home. If any of you reading this are interested please let us know. She's a great girl, Shirley is just a one dog family kind of girl.

THANKS!
