Mom LOL-ed Tom! She still trying to decide on a pic for me.

New Discovery: Fur-less Puppies

Something very strange came to visit Saturday night. Two humans came over and dropped off these two miniature things and then LEFT THEM AT MY HOUSE ALL EVENING. No one consulted me about this!

Mom and Dad fussed over these things ALL EVENING. They completely ignored Tom and I. I was put in my crate because I was being bad. Tom didn't seem to care at all. He sniffed each one and then took a nap under the table.

I still have not figured out what these two things were. They smelled so weird and made all these different noises that freaked me out! One slept most of the time but would wake up and make this awful loud noise. I would flip out and run around trying to make that terrible noise stop! Maybe they were puppies? But they didn't have any fur. Fur-less puppies?? If they were puppies, then how come I wasn't allowed to play with them?

I got in BIG TROUBLE because I scratched one on its leg. Dad was holding one in the kitchen so I jumped up to sniff it and then I got yelled at because the "puppy" started to do that screaming thing again because I scratched it when I jumped up. I didn't mean to.

Later those two humans came back and took those weird "puppies" away. Then everyithing went back to normal and Mom and Dad gave me lots of attention.

I'll tell you what: I love puppies. But I DO NOT love those fur-less puppies. I hope they stay away.

Mom LOVES this blog -- Cute Overload! She loves it even more now that Tom has been featured on it! Hooray!

His window sunbathing shenanigans got him into a sort of "Hokey Pokey Challenge".

Mom saw this post of a cat doing the hokey pokey with one arm and immediately thought of little Tom's silliness.

Who knew Tom was doing the hokey pokey all along? We just thought he was doing sun salutations!

Funny Trailer

Our dad just showed us the funniest movie trailer! It's about an old hotel that some kids use to shelter homeless dogs. Our favorite part is when the bulldog gets a shoe from a vending machine. How awesome is that? We asked Mom to search for one on Craigslist (yeah right, Huck!) because we really want one!

Isn't that terrier cute? He looks like Huck!

My Trip to the Vet (another gross post)

I just went to the vet because of my GROSS itchy problem. Remember? Hint: it rhymes with "shmaymul hands". Sure enough, my ummm glands just need to be expressed. They're not infected or anything. The poor vet tech who expressed them simply said, "Yep. They were full." Mom would rather pay the vet to deal with my full glands than do it herself! Ha. The vet did teach Mom how to express them at home so I won't have to go to the vet just to get my butt pinched. We'll see how that transpires...

This is the second time I have had my glands expressed because for some reason, it's not happening when I poop. (Gross alert!) I have nice big hard poops so Mom doesn't know why I have this chronic problem of full glands. If anyone has tips or has this problem too, please post some comments! It's not fun to have an itchy bottom.

Moving on: Unlike Tom, I am not a fan of the vet. I have a bunch of terrier energy and get more anxious in new places. Especially places where they take me away from Mom and poke my bottom in some back room! Tom is a laid back shihpoo, and I am not. Mom appreciates it when people try to tactfully make this assertion after meeting mellow Tom and then crazy me.

Like the nice girl at Pawtropolis who clipped my nails. Usually clipping nails is a one person job for a professional like her. Mom kinda chuckled when she heard her politely say, "Uh, I have a wiggler here!" And then she had to get another girl to help her keep me still. She could have said, "Your terrier is a terror! Why won't he hold still??" She must be very experienced because she just called me a wiggler! It's like a nice word for hyper-psycho dog.

Usually Mom takes me to the dog run before going somewhere like the vet so I get all my hyper-ness out. Unfortunately it has been 90+ degrees everyday so in choosing between overheating at the dog run or handling hyper terrier at the vet, Mom chose the latter.

Tom Goes to the Vet

I don't like the vet. But my mini bro loves it! He's so funny. He was pulling on the leash to get in the door! When we were waiting for the vet to call us, Tom would greet everyone who came in the door with a big HELLO bark. Every human that came in was so surprised by Tom's welcoming them, they would all say, "Well, hello to you too!" right back and then pet him. He is such a charmer.

Tom had to get his ears checked and get a booster shot. He has had stinky, gooey ears. Gross. They have improved since his last visit two weeks ago. They aren't so itchy and gooey anymore because Mom puts ointment in them. They still stink though. He's a stinky boy.

I have a vet appointment soon because Mom's worried about my anal glands. Mom says it's embarrassing but I don't care. I scoot my boot all over the carpet after I go out to do my business. I lick it a lot too. (VERY GROSS, Huck!) Hopefully they're not infected or anything.

Tom seems a little under the weather from his shot. It was so funny because the vet was explaining all the potential complications and side effects Tom might get from the shot and right after she said "vomiting" guess what Tom did? He puked right there! What a good listener. He's sleeping now. We usually play and wrestle a lot but he hasn't felt like doing that. Mom has told me NO several times when I have tried to wrestle him. She says he just wants to rest.

Mom had to wash the big bed comforter because someone (Huck!) puked on it. Now we're not allowed on the big bed anymore. After she washed it, she draped it over all the dining room chairs to dry. Tom thinks this is the coolest thing ever. He likes to hide in this "blanket fort"and chew bones or nap. Here are 2 pics of him recuperating after his vet visit. He doesn't want to be bothered. Trust me.






















coming soon: MY trip to the vet
