Gone to the Squirrels

Today began out so lovely.  Mummy couldn't sleep this morning so at 4:30am before the rest of the world woke, we went for a tiny hike.  The birds began to sing and the wind whispered through the trees as the sky turned to pastels.

After a nappy, me, Mummy, Diddy, and Sissy went to the park for a swim-swimmy-swim. The water felt so good on me belly, I stuck my head underwater and blew bubbles, chased sticks and swam forever.
I could feel someone watching us. Looking around, on the far bank of the stream a large squirrel stood watching us intently.  My ears pearked up as he squeaked at me as if to say "hey you, yeah I'm talking to you".  It continued to yell at us, and threw acorn tops.  I looked at me Diddy for approval and laughingly he said "don't do it" but..... it had to be done,  I flew out of the water and chased that little bugger all over the place, almost out of range of Diddy's voice...almost.

"MAGGIE" his voice thundered through the park like a greek god and he caught up to me dragging me back to the car.  How humiliating.  I swear I could hear the other doggies snickering, even me own sissy.  

Rotten Squirrel

The park visit being quickly over, all due that rotten squirrel, we were on our way home.  Mummy put the windows down so I could stick me head out and catch some fresh air.   Almost out of the park, minding my own business, I turned to see sissy's side of the view, when there he was, that wretched squirrel.  I dove at him right over sissy and out the moving vehicle, tumbling a little.  Up on my feet quick as could be, The chase was on again.  I almost had him again when a group of runners got in my way, I dodged through their fast tall legs knocking some of them down.  I heard some yelling, as I closed in on that little nut-head when he went up a tree, but... I had his tail!!!  And... then Diddy had mine.  I didn't care that I was in trouble. I had caught that little bugger.  I wagged my tail proudly all the way to the car the runners yelling at Diddy and Diddy saying something back.

I was on my runner for the rest of the day with no treaties, watching everyone else have fun, but that was ok, I had a souvenir. A fluffy grey tail... teehee.  Who's laughing now squirrel?  I am.  {:o-)

Ell'o Everyone

Ell'o Everyone,

Mummy & Diddy's House

This is me Sissy

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Maggie, short for Duchess Maggie-Mo.  I'm not really a duchess, but everyone in my family has a royal title (King Diddy, Queen Mummy and Princess Kiya).  Most likely by seeing my profile picture you think this is a blog about a dog, but let me set you straight, this is a blog by a dog.  A golden retriever to be more precise, we are quite smart you know.  I live with me Mummy and me Diddy (that's daddy to the rest of you) in a small nice house with a lovely back yard.

Most days I spend playing with me older Sissy Princess Kiya.  She acts very nice to others, but she has them all fooled, acting sweet and loving, when really she is quite tricksy.  She tells me to do certain things that she's knows will get me in trouble.  No one else seems to notice, but I am on to her.  BUT.. To be completely truthful, I have my own special way of getting myself into a bit of a jam. You see, it's just that I am really very curious.

I really am a good tyke.... truly I am!!

I am writing this Blog to share with you my daily adventures and misadventures, so you can decide for yourself if I really am a mischievous girl or just really really really curious (like curious george, only way cuter!).  See you next time {:o-)

Ni'nights for now!

Near Escape

This morning has already been full of excitement and I dread saying it, something very unpleasant.

As usual, my next door neighbor Luca's family forgot him outside last night, he barked, and howled, begging them to let him in until about 4:AM.  (Diddy was less than thrilled and all Mummy could say was "Poor Luca") This gave me a brilliant idea.  I met Luca at the fence and we devised the perfect plan,
I would help him escape!!  We Dug from both sides of the fence as sissy overlooked the project.   When he was finally free, he jumped up and down with delight and for about an hour or so we horsed around.  When me Mummy called us in for brekky, the three of us trotted in happy as could be, muddy paws, noses and all.  Mummy yelled something about the floors just being mopped and kicked us outside for our nibbles (Luca included, Mummy's good like that), then we continued to play, everything going swimmingly, until Diddy saw we had just dug under our new fence.  I've never heard such words before, I don't know what any of them meant, but his tone meant trouble! I thought I had done the right thing, hadn't I?  It was obvious that the humans didn't think so,  I was immediately put on my runner and found it curious that it was about this time when Luca's family noticed he was missing.  Of course he was dragged back to his yard, tail tucked in.

For the rest of the morning Luca stuck his nose under the fence whining, but to no avail, i was chained up, and sissy was not going to help this time, she just pretended to not notice (as if to say, "no way, I'm not getting into trouble!"), and went about liking her paws.

Covered in caked on mud, I laid there for a while, taking a nap, when Mummy and Diddy came out.  "Maggie" said me Mummy all cheery like (tricksy little git), "would you like a bath?"  if it got me off this runner I was in!  Little did I know the unpleasantness that would take place.  Diddy sprayed cold cold water all over me and then rubbed some foamy stuff that smelled like flowers, spraying me again with the chilly stuff and continued with the process all over again TWICE!!! It was very very miserable and when he was done, I was something I hadn't been for at least a few months, I was........ c-l-e-a-n :(

Luca

Clean miserable me

All in all, this day turned out rotten, Luca's back in his yard, alone, hole blocked mostly by concrete blocks, I'm on my runner and I smell like lilacs!!!  Bleckkkkkk!!!!  Tomorrow will be rosier!!  I guess I'll take a nap..... what is that? that little buggy just crawled into the ground, does he need help?  Perhaps I'll dig in and see....
