Humans are insane. Why do they do stuff like this?

On a related note, doesn't this look like Snuffleupagus the morning after a sweet night out on the Jersey Shore?

The Tosca Update, part 1!

Oh, hello.

Oh my goodness, what a month! I have finished my teaching assistant duties (licking the homie's feet while she grades; making her take me on walks instead of grading; etc.) for the semester, and I've spent the last week hanging out with my cousin the homie-pup.

Another fun thing that happened is that the homes' family had a coming-home party for her brother (he just got out of active duty for the army)/first birthday party for the homie-pup. Even with 40-50 new people to meet, I pretty much slept a good bit of the time. Do you know why? Hmm?

BECAUSE MY SICK SADISTIC OWNER WALKED/JOGGED ME FOR 4 MILES THE MORNING OF THE PARTY. I'm surprised I didn't just spontaneously combust, but at least I got extra praise and some treatage (roast pig and rice!) by the homie for just calmly lying down and watching the party.

So it's official: the homie and I are moving at the end of the month! I hope this whole moving thing doesn't interrupt my beauty sleep too much, and naturally I won't be doing any heavy lifting. Even though I'll be sad to leave my friends and fans here in Indiana, I'm excited since we'll be moving in with the grandhomies for a bit, which means that I'll have a new fan club AND we'll be 2 minutes from a dogpark! (Though I think my homie is more excited by the fact that we're 2 minutes from the free double-lined mutt mitts at the dogpark...)

We might end up in the big city or stay in the suburbs—but between you and me, I think I'm more of a suburban or country dog.

I smell change in the air! Or is it chicken wings? Either way, it's buttery.

Homie death watch

My homie apparently caught the flu from the human baby-monster and is now at death's door! I thought I'd welcome the day, but it turns out it's a bit of a drag considering that she's my walk- and food-ticket. Hmph. Anyways, at least the homes has taken this sick day to retrieve some pictures from last week for your viewing pleasure.

I got to visit my homie's best friend and her best canine friend, Giada, in Chicago! Sadly Giada is a bit suspicious of me and tried to take my head off a few times. But I still like her and hope that one day our play dates won't look like an episode of Jerry Springer.

This is about as close as we can get without hostilities. :(
Chicago, you are my oyster! Speaking of which, there's a good chance the homie and I will be moving to the city or at least nearby. What a crazy time I've had with this crazy homunculus!

My new friend!

Catching up

Happy Easter, doggies!

I have so much catching up to do. First of all, my birthday was a few weeks ago (March 20), and my homes was kind enough to buy me TREATS (for once!) to make up for the fact that she was at a conference and had to board me during my birthday.

I've also gotten a trim of my head. Here's the gloriously furry before picture:

And the gloriously furry but less so after picture:

And finally, it is in fact blogworthy news to tell you that I have found a new favorite nap spot under the homie's side table.

Neglect!

Now you all know how I feel about the homie (suspicious, generally disdainful, judgmental of her girth and laziness, etc.), but I'm... sad (?) that I have to spend the week at the vet's for boarding (where I go for daycare) since the homes will be going to a conference.

The folks there are so nice, and I get to converse with other dogs at high decibel levels all day, but I just don't get the same feeling of empowerment that I have when I'm with the homie. Oh well, I'll just have to get used to bossing them around instead.

The homes took this series of pictures entitled "Sleepytime with Baby-Monster" to tide her over while she's away. Can't blame her; I'd miss me too.





BTW, I know I have complete sway over the homie because she found a way to work me (and a picture of me!) into one of her lectures/powerpoint for her class. Now that is devotion. If only her devotion would translate into giving me tablescraps. Yeesh.

Asleep on the job!

It's been more than a month since I last posted?! Such a crime to deprive you of my doings.

Oh wait, no. It would have been a crime to post since I did absolutely nothing in the last month. Well, I guess I got to visit the grandhomies a couple times (and they bought me tons of gear from the Philippines) but other than that, the weather has not be conducive to fun. So instead, I've been napping, assisting research, and napping while assisting research.


But now that it appears mother nature has given up her grudge against this little town, I can nap in the sun!


And finally go on long walks! (Yeesh, I need a trim.)


Aaaand, my homie has heard of a new dogpark that just opened up near(ish)by. Let the fun begin!
