Early Openings of Pressies

You'll never believe dis, butt Mom let me open a couple of my pressies early.

It's about dog-gone time!
Des packages have been sitting, unopened, on da table for like 87 days.

Da 1st one is huge and is from my Blogville Holiday Gift Exchange buddy Jack.

OMD.... dis is just what I wanted.

He sent me a huge cookie and TWO (yes I said TWO) brand new Stuffies.

One is a yellow Giraffe and da other is a Gingerbread Man.    I can't believe dat I have my very own Gingerbread Man.   Oh, oh, oh and dey both have squeakers in dem.   Mom loves da Giraffe as she can easily grab it when I have it in my mouth.

Just look at my haul!

If dat wasn't enough excitement, I also got to open up a wee little package from my girlfriend Daisy.    You know what dey say, good things come in small packages.

I wonder what's in dis one.

Lov ya Daisy & I love my pressies.

She sent me another squeaky toy, a scottie hotpad (for Mom), a cookie, and some Golden Nuggets (Yeti Dog Chews).  I've never eaten Gold before.  I'm gonna feel like a KING eat'in dem.

My Daisy sure know how to pack a ton of great stuff in a little box.

Thank you Jack and Daisy for my pawsome holiday pressies!
Des new stuffies are more fun dan dat old plastic pill case.

I can't wait to see what Santa Paws brings me.   I hope dat he doesn't know about my recent mischief mak'in (eating nerf bullet top and chewing up Sunday's topper).

Pees.....  Mom says dat I'm going to have a very special surprise houseguest to play wiff on Christmas.   I can't wait.

Ranger: 41 cards + 10 e-cards
Mom:  17 cards + 2 e-card

Oh.... I think dat Mom is cheat'in.   Ya see, her Birthday is Christmas Day, so she is getting Birthday cards too and count'in dem as Christmas Cards.
I decide to let her cheat since she will NEVER catch me and since she let me open up 2 pressies early.   Good of me huh?  I hope dat Santa Paws is paying attention.

Brain Games

Some of y'all have some really cool game toys so Mom decided to go out and get one for me.

She put cheerios or some of my kibble in the game and I get to Search and Devour.   Hey.... I am a Deputy Top Cop and teach junior officer in searching and detecting so dis should be EASY.

Dis game is Fun and Tasty!

Nom, nom, nom....

Yummmmmm..... best game ever!

Mom:  Why did you take all your toys out of your toy basket?
Ranger:  I couldn't find it.

Mom:  What were you looking for?
Ranger:  My favorite toy.  It's the one dat I got for Christmas from Benny & Lily.

Mom:  Aweeeeeeeee.

It was hiding at the bottom of my toy basket, but I gots it now.
I just love this toy and couldn't start my Monday without it.

Happy Monday!

I Got Mail !!!!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooo!

Wow…. this is a BIG Yellow Envelop.
I wonder who sent it.

Yippy!
It's from my friend Sammy.

Ooooooooooooh….. what's in here?

I see Bones and somethin else.

Look at all the stuff I got.
2 Bones, a monkey stuffie, and a note card from Sammy, with my photo on it.   Sweeeeeeeet !!!!

It's my surprise present for winning Sammy's PJ contest at his Blogaversary Pawty.
Sammy is the best!

I just L-O-V-E my New sock monkey 'George'.

'George' is just purrrrrrfect for playing tug-a-wag.

'George' and I will have lots of good times together.

Thank you Sammy for the surprise present and big licks to all of you who voted for me.  I am one lucky pup.

Flashback Fridays

My New Green Friend

All is forgiven after my Bad Day.  

Thanks to all my furfriends, I used some of your tips and look what I got.       

                     Arrrrrroooooooo!    

A New Toy !!

All that lov'n mom, lick'n her toes, and just look'n real cute…  really works!   I see I can learn a lot for y'all.

I'm not really sure what my new green friend is, but its head pulls out which makes it really good for play tug-a-war.   If you pull its tail… his head shrinks back into his neck.

He also has squeakers in each of his paws.   Don't you just love squeakers?

I just love my new Toy.

I wonder what I should call him/she.   Any ideas?

Chow for now.   I have to go and be good.

Toy Box Diving

It was a rainy day today so I only got to go outside between rain showers.   To amuse myself this afternoon…. I decided to take a closer look at the Toy Box that Mom set out for me.

I really like my Tigger toy.  It is really soft.

It is kinda hard to see down into my Toy Box.

Grrrrrrr...I wanta get that toy at the bottom but I just can't reach it.

There has got to be a better way to get at my toys.  I'll have to think on this for awhile.

     

Woof!  Woof!  I've got an idea!      I'll just climb on into my box and then I'll be able to reach all of my toys.

I'll just jump in.   

This is a bit of a tight fix.

It is not so easy getting in my Box.   That first step is tricky.

Mom took this video of me trying to get into my Toy Box.  It is not as easy as you may think when you have short legs.

See my video.

Once I got in my Toy Box, some of my toys started squeaking when I stepped on them.  That kinda startled me.  Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.  I guess I should figure out how to get out of this box.

Squeak!  Squeak!  Oh my.

Once I got out of the box, Mom set my Toy Box on it's side so I could easily check out all my toys.  What took her so long?

Arooooooo.  That is so much better.
Now I can see all my toys.

I'll bark at you soon.   I have to play with more toys now.

Hot Diggity Dog

It is really Hot today.  90+ degrees.   Whew!   I have to drink lots of water after I go for a run outside.

Aroooooooooooooooooo!   What's that on the table? 

A Hot Dog ????   It doesn't look like any of the other dogs that I have met.

Hey Mom, can I take a closer look?

It doesn't have much of a scent… but I do like the colors.

Sweeeeeeet !!  It squeaks too.

Yippy!   This is woof'n fun to play with!

I spy another dog over there (on the other side of the fence).
Hummmm.   Doesn't look at all like my Hot Dog.

He must'n be too Hot.

I'm going to keep this Hot Dog close by and see what happen when it gets Cold.  
It will be my new science project.    I'll let you know what I discover. 

Chow for now.  

On the Mend

Woohoo!    I'm back and feeling soooooooooooo much better.   I still have to get my ears cleaned every morning and in the evening, Mom put some drops in my bad ear.  I shake my head a lot to try to get the wet out of my ears.  It does feel good when Mom puts cotton in them to get out all the wet stuff.     My doctor vet called today and wanted to make sure I was doing better.  She is so nice.  Next Tuesday I get to go see her at Capeside.  She wants to check my ears out and give me my last round of major shots.   

Mom says that once I have my last round of shots, I can go for walks and visit with other dogs.   I can't wait to meet all my neighbors.

I played indoors most of the day.     

I like really like my purple ring.

Ooops… it flipped up on my nose !

 It is too HOT outside during the day, so now I run around in the evenings. 

Chow for now!

A Hoppin Good Time!

Meet Froggy, my new green friend.   Froggy is pretty cool and says he is related to a celebrity.   I'm not sure what that is, but I think his name is Kermit Kardashian?   I may have gotten that wrong.   Froggy says Kermit hangs out with a pig.   I've never seen a pig but if it is green… I may like her too.

My friend Froggy

Come on… lets get up and play.

We went outside to play in the yard.   
Froggy has a bit of trouble getting around, so I had to carry him around to show him my yard.  If I grab and pull on his long green line, he hops around as I drag him along.  

I like that he does not yell "Ouch" when I grab him. Mom and Aunty D always say "Ouch" when I grab them.

Sometimes Froggy squeaks when he is really happy. Woofing cool!

I also saw a bunny in my yard this morning.   It hops a lot better than froggy.  By the time I ran over to the bunny, it hopped out of my yard.   I thought I was fast… but the bunny was really fast.   Froggy is not fast at all, unless I drag him around.   Maybe the bunny will come back tomorrow to play with me.  I think he could be more fun than Froggy.   It is exhausting dragging Froggy around all the time.

I'm keeping a close look out for bunny tonight.

I'll bark at you again!  Chow for now.

Nips and Treats-in-a-Box

I like to chew and nibble on all things.   Mom has lots of stuff for me to chew on and play with but sometimes when I am excited and full of energy I nip at her feet or hand.   "Ouch!" she shouts.   Not sure what that means, but she always follows it with a "NO" and then I end up in time out.  

Aunty D and Mom both have little sticky things on them to cover up where I nip'd them.   I guess I shouldn't nip at them but sometimes I just can't help myself.

This morning Mom gave me a new box to play with.  

I wonder what is in here.

 She frequently puts treats in little boxes.  Yippy!!

Now all I have to do is get the treat out it out of the box.

Oops… it's stuck on my nose.
