some pictures from christmas

even though it was off to a rough (but clean) start...


it got better - this is what i did most of the time:


i got some good stuff too... but don't tell massah. hee hee. i also played a LOT with petra. this is a dangerous game, but all turned out well :-)


she got a pacifier that i liked. and subsequently stole.


i had to lay down the law with her, because she seemed to think that just because she OPENED it, she OWNED it. silly puppy; so confused. i set her straight.


we spent a lot of time being nice to each other too, which made motch VERY happy (she gets nervous when we play "boston" games).






i'm one lucky dog, and i'm counting my blessings this new year.

still tired

I will fill everyone in on my Christmas, but I'm still catching up....

i am not merry!

my christmas eve is NOT starting out well....



i better get LOTS of extra presents for this.

christmas - bah

this is motch. and this is what i have to put up with at christmas time. it's entirely too much christmas cheer (and there's not even any alcohol involved).



at least i can go home to my own house at night... petra is the one who has to live with her, the poor thing.

Oh the trials and tribulations of Christmas Card pictures....

But at least Massah can't get mad at me this year. I just copied her exact expressions, see....

(faces that made us look like we had some sort of disability)

(faces that are completely oblivious to the concept of looking at the camera)


Good times, good times....

THRAWN

Rest in peace, handsome man.

May you find Dakota quickly and catch up on all the licking and playing you've missed out on in the past few months....

Have fun while you wait for all of us.

i have very important things to say

and no one listens to me.



this neglect sickens me.

there is one thing...

i do admit, there is one thing about petra that kinda annoys me. she steals my favorite sleeping spots...

the holiday madness has begun

ok, ok...

ok, i need to clarify the growling in the video of me and petra playing in the last post... i like to pretend that i'm an awesomely bad dog and growl really horrifically when we're playing. (petra has not figured out how to do this yet.) here -- i'll show you:

did you hear me? it was a growl-snarl-gargle-noise! acting mean is FUN! and i make even WORSE noises when i play with the hoomans!

i'm also teaching petra the fine art of bitey face. she's catching on pretty well, but this causes motch great concern for the safety of us bostons. please. does this look like a couple of dogs who'd hurt each other?


i guess i'm not really as big and bad and tough as i try to look like...


there, now we can forget i ever admitted to having a soft side. maybe for the next post i can put up a video of me looking out the window and growling angrily at the world. i like to do that all day long.

bostons have more fun

I LOVE PETRA!!!!!
i'll show you why:


that's so much more fun than watching IT sleep in odd positions all night...

don't you agree?!

ps: i made this girl help me with my blog today... who knows when massah will be back to my daily blogging... sigh.

finally, an update!

good grief - i've been trying to post and blogger just keep eating it up hand over fist. i don't know what that means, but my grammy says that. but there's good news - it turns out that petra is pretty cool! we've been playing lots and LOTS!

and i even like sleeping next to her!

do you think motch will trade IT for petra?!?! maybe that's what i'll put on my christmas list....

she FINALLY has a name

it's petra! i'm trying very hard to teach her things, but she's not catching on very quickly. granted, i've only seen her for a total of about 20 minutes, but she's not catching on to the tug-of-war game that i'm dilligently attempting to teach her. she just stares at me like i'm crazy and then runs the other way. massah keeps saying stuff about "don't smack her in the face with it!!!" but i'm just trying to show her the way.

and another thing - she has a bunch of toys that i can't have! what's up with THAT?! look at this monkey! i'd LOVE that! but can i have it?! NOOOOOOOOO. it's petra's toy. blah. i need to teach her to share. but only when no one is looking.

my protege

here she is:

she doesn't have a name yet, but i've started training her. here she is, listening to my rant about the annoyingness of IT. look how attentive she is! but she's a boston... of course she's a quick learner (unlike someone i know).

We are being neglected over here. I'd ask someone to call the ASPCA, but since we just moved they probably wouldn't be able to find us. *le sigh*

Things are going fairly well, though. I get to sleep in Massah-in-law's bed if I feel the urge; that's not half bad. BUT. I heard that Motch might be bringing home a puppy.... *GASP* And it might even be a BOSTON PUPPY!!!

If that news turns out to be true, I'll have to get on here pretty quick and update you all....

i'm not impressed

The Boy went to a wedding and I got was this stupid garter.

WHERE'S THE CAKE?!?!?!?!?!

where the good stuff comes from

GUESS WHO THIS IS?!?!?!?!?!?

Give up?! Huh?! Do ya?!

IT'S ROWDY!!!!! HE'S MY DAD!!!!!!!!!! It's amazing what these internets can do these days... Motch was looking up some stuff and just FOUND HIM!!!!! I'm thinking of finding that Grayhound that takes people places and going to visit him! With a name like "ROWDY" I'm sure he's a ton of fun! I bet he doesn't have a naked little Chinese man badgering him all day long, either....

Speaking of IT, he's getting a bath right now. Wahahahahahahaha. He's trying to get all nice-looking for his first day on the job. Ridiculous. Like IT could ever be nice-looking.

a birthday

Happy birthday to Massah! A birthday only comes around once a year - this is how excited I was!!!

This is how I helped her celebrate her special day:

I also looked very beautiful for her (IT is entirely to blame for those gray hairs!)

Speaking of IT, I also taunted him... gross little booger had to stay inside while I got to run and play - HA!

I gave Massah kisses...

And I allowed her to hold me while I feel asleep.

What more could anyone ask for on their birthday?!

I'm tired

Doesn't it look like a nice, relaxing evening?

Well it's NOT. Look.

IT never leaves me alone for a second.

At least IT isn't touching me. At the moment....

glory be!

Well. I have good news and bad news. Bad news first:

Massah is making me (and IT unfortunately) move OUT of Motch's house in LESS THAN A MONTH, can you believe it?! She needs to give me more time to prepare myself! Jeesh! But...

Guess who we're moving in with?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? The wonderful woman who gives me THIS:

THAT'S RIGHT - we get to live with Massah-in-Law!!!!! I can't WAIT!!!!!

This is what my life is going to be like, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!!!!!

Ruby is a gem!

I need to talk about PRESENTS! I'll start with Ruby, the equally beautiful Boston Terror Girl who sent me a BOX! (please notice how exceptionally svelte I look in this shot, MASSAH....)

Mmmm... Ruby smells GOOD!

Look at this cool little shoe!

Every girl needs a shoe!

I LIKED it!

Notice I said "liked"... as in past tense. It is now waiting for me in stuffie heaven. But look what else she sent - a bandana!

Please excuse my odd facial/jowl expression... I thought IT was going to jump up on the couch next to me and I DON'T like that. Anyway, I ALSO got a frisbee! Lookie!

Watch me in action!

Blah blah blah look at us sitting nicely next to each other blah blah blah. I HATE sitting nicely next to IT.

I'll leave you with this video.

Oh my goodness - DID YOU HEAR THAT?! Massah-in-Law said I'm "not as nice as Tadpole, but that's okay." CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?! And I have it on TAPE!!!!! She's gonna have to give me a LOT of peanut butter filled kongs to make up for THAT!
