Hey all you dogs!
Ayla here with a quick note to say “hi” to everyone since it’s been forever since I was last here. It seems a lot of my blogging puppy friends are also on hiatus these days – guess with the holiday season being upon us everyone is out having fun instead of sitting in front of their computers – as they should be! 🙂
Anyway, not much has been happening since we got back from our awesome trip to Holland. My humans are back to walking me an hour a day instead of the 2 or more we were taking in Holland but I’ve made sure to harass them more during the day now so they know I really miss those days.
And speaking of making my humans nuts, they think I’m having another growth spurt because I’ve been really yappy to Mom every time she’s sitting on the couch in the evening. I keep trying to share the couch with her, which really would be better for just me since it’s only a love seat, but I get so excited that I start chewing on her and trying to dominate her and then I get ejected from the game. What’s a dog to do? 🙂
In other news, my humans put up something really cool for me to play with last weekend…Christmas lights! They bought some interesting light blue colored balls with lights in them (from IKEA, Mom says, and they were brand new!!) and strung those through the rose bushes in my courtyard. I thought they were a bit too long on one side so I “trimmed” them down a bit. The humans had a LOT of fun trying to get the balls from me afterwards but I wasn’t going to let the game end there. A few days later I pulled down the rest of the lights too, even though they were about 7 feet off the ground. Man was that fun! That strand of lights really lost to me that time!
But I wasn’t ready to stop there. The humans have another light chain along the edge of the house which I can’t reach…but the did have the extension cord in my courtyard! So I unplugged the lights for them (we need to cut back on our electricity usage, people) and then thought it might be fun to chew on the end of the extension cord a bit. But watch out fellow dogs – those things bite HARD! I let out a yelp and the humans came to investigate. The gracefully took the evil cord away from me and locked it away in the trash can. That’s one cord that will never mess with me again! (Mom’s note: We hope this will prevent her from getting any more stupid ideas about chewing on cables…God help us!)
Anywho, the weather here is awesome tonight. It’s raining and the wind is blowing stuff all over my courtyard. It’s almost like we’re back in Holland. I can’t wait for our walk later! Hopefully we’ll also get some of this snow stuff soon too. My humans keep talking about how cool it will be since we barely had any last year…only time will tell I guess.
I hope you’ve all had a fun weekend and done something to get yourselves spoiled rotten. I’ve got an important meeting with my food bowl now so I’ve got to run…
Big Newfie kisses!!
Ayla
