Ever since I was a baby, my mom has said that my name should be "will work for food." And you know what? She's right. I will do anything to get a piece of chicken.
Sometimes the smell of the amazing chicken overwhelms me, impeding my ability to concentrate on anything OTHER than the chicken.
Mmmm . . . chicken . . .
But, I promise that I'm really smart. Once I get started, I do my tricks as quickly as possible so that I can get my treat.
While my parents were out of town, I bunked with my mom Kayla, aunt Hannah, and brother Seamus at Melissa and Jason's house in PA. I had a lot of fun wrestling, cuddling, and playing with the Chuck-it flying squirrel at the park. However, I kept wondering what my parents were doing. I still can't believe that they left me behind!!!
Although they were originally supposed to visit some friends in Boston before going to a wedding in New York, they opted for a quick trip to Southern New Jersey instead.
While staying at a B&B in Cape May, they decided to take a side-trip to "The Point" in Stone Harbor to take a walk on the beach and see the wildlife. (Meanies! They know I love the beach!) Since it is a wildlife refuge area, the beach is usually completely empty. There are lots of tidal pools for little "fishies" to live in, and it is a sanctuary where birds and other living things can nest on the beach without being disturbed. This looks like my dream vacation!
Those sand dunes look like they would be really fun to run on. Plus, I love birds!
I can't believe that my parents didn't take me!?! Maybe I can go with my mom and dad next time. Wait?? What?!?!?! You've got to be kidding me. Unfair!!!! Can you say "canine discrimination?"
I can't believe that they would be so bold as to blatantly . . . Whoa! Mom, what is THAT!!!! Oh my gosh, ewww! Mom, what are those creepy things!?!?!
Aieeee! That shell has eyeballs and fingers! Don't wait for the shell to come to life: Run away!!!
My mom said that it is just a hermit crab, but I think she's crazy. It's a monster!
And just when I thought the worst was over, along came a . . .
SHARK!!!!!
That's not a dream vacation, it's a nightmare!!!! I'm just glad my parents survived!
Ok, I change my mind. I'm very, very glad that I wasn't with my parents on their trip.
Two weeks ago, my mom and dad decided to go on a weekend getaway. When I found out that they would not be taking me with them, I let them know exactly how I felt.
"Mom, if you don't want to take me, you can have this slimy present to remind you of how much I love you."
While my Dad was in the faraway land of "Hong Kong," I was very sad and missed him a lot. I got to see him on the computer screen every day, but it just wasn't the same. My mom promised that he would come home soon, but it seemed like forever. When he finally came home, I was so excited that I didn't know what to do.
Give him a hug? Grab a toy? A chewie? Which toy, which toy?My Dad is Home! Toy? Dad! Chewie? Dad! Mom? Did you see!?!?It's my Dad!*Squeal*Dad, dad, dad!!!!! Oh my dog, Dad!!
I was so excited that I accidentally piddled on the floor, but I couldn't help it.
My dad brought home a lot of cool gifts from his trip to Hong Kong, including this light saber thing that makes red bugs race on the walls.
I tried to catch the bugs for my dad, but they were super-quick and disappeared whenever I got close. My dad said something about this being a good way to let me get some exercise when it is rainy and muddy outside, but I don't know what he means by that. I don't like rain, but I don't know why he thinks it is a good idea to let a red bug loose in the house! What would they have done if I hadn't chased it away? I mean, what if it ate my mom! My parents are very lucky that I was there to protect them.
Nags Head in Outer Banks lets puppies like me hang out on the beach all day long as long as we stay on a ten-foot leash, so my parents let me come to the beach with them. It was hot, so we didn't stay more than an hour, but I had a super-fun time!

Trying to dig my frisbee out of the sand. Gosh!!! You'd think my dad would help me!!
