We are still here...

Hi everyone! Sorry we haven't posted anything in a while but mom got back from vacation and took a break from helping me blog. We're trying to catch up on everyone's blog and will be leaving comments again. Mom's been busy since she has gone back to work full-time and recently got a promotion all while dealing with her muscular dystrophy.

It's also been extremely HOT here the last few weeks and we haven't been walking or staying outside much. Blizz and I throughly enjoy the air conditioning! I'm glad I didn't live back in the day when there was no such thing as air conditioning. Believe me, fans just won't cut it in this humidity.

Mom's been thinking of getting us a little plastic pool for those HOT days. But then again, she's worried that I will roll around in the dirt after taking a dip in the pool. I say get the pool! Sometimes mom will squirt us with the water hose and Blizz just loves it. She jumps in the air and tries to drink the water.

Well I hope everyone is doing great and will be catching up on your blogs soon.

Out of the office...

Hello friends. We saw mom get out her big ugly suitcase today and got worried. She confirmed our suspicions and told us she was going on vacation without us. I know I've been putting in long hours at my part-time backyard security job but I haven't been ignoring her completely! Why must she leave us? She says we can't go where she is going which is to Nags Head, NC (otherwise known to us as the beach). The house our grandparents rented doesn't allow us fine specimens. In the meantime, our uncle Eric will be taking care of us but won't be helping us on the computer so we're putting up our "Out of office" message. We'll read your posts once mom is back to help us. Here's wishing her a great but hurry back vacation.

Part-time job

I have recently gone to a top secret job interview. And I was delighted (but not surprised) that they hired me on the spot. After all, I have mad skills. It turns out, I'm the new sheriff in town. Well okay, not in town but in my yard or 'garden'. I've been working almost every night, barking at anything and everything! My mom and Blizz have started to worry that I'm not getting enough sleep. My mom has tried to bribe me with almost everything at night and I still won't come in the house and give up my security post. Now I have the badge but need a uniform....I wonder if Bella the Westie has one I can borrow? Gotta run and get back to my security post....talk to you all later!

P.S. Remember this guy? I will NOT be doing his job.

Wordless Wednesday

Reflections of the past...

Some of you may have wondered how a westie and a pit bull got to be the best of friends. Well it all started back in 2002 when Blizz was adopted by mom's sister. For two years she ruled the house until I came along in 2004. I was a college graduation gift to mom and she was so happy to have me. By that time Blizz was already two years old and we lived together for another year. She taught me how to walk on a leash, how to bark and play. In 2005, we moved out from our grandparents house with mom and her sister (Blizz's original mom) to a new house. It was tough getting adjusted to a new house and new but smaller backyard. Then the unthinkable happened, Blizz and I were separated when mom's sister moved out. For about a year we were living separately until fate stepped in again. In 2008 mom's sister had a baby and she wanted my mom to take care of Blizz permanently. Mom happily obliged and you can say we lived happily ever after. I want to say thank you to Blizz for teaching me all about life and for putting up with my puppy ways. I know I occasionally still get on her nerves but she has been the best friend one westie could ever have. Please don't think badly of all pit bulls, as Blizz is a testament to her breed. May God give us many more days together.

Wordless Wednesday---Almost!

Defending our turf!

Blizz and I were caught by mom defending our turf against a German Shepard! (Of course he was on a leash but we still showed him!)
