... but they call me "Nugget" for short. And sometimes, I feel like I'm just not getting quite enough attention - especially if mom is watching one of her favorite shows. Typically, I will keep bringing the same toy over and set it on her lap. Sometimes she tosses it for me and sometimes she hides it. When that stops working, I dig deep in the toy basket for the one with the loudest, most annoying squeaker... and then I squeak and squeak and squeak and squeak and squeak. And squeak and squeak and squeak and squeak... Somehow lately a lot of the squeaky toys have been disappearing. I can't find them anywhere!!
Well I've been at Dorian's this weekend because Mom went out of town for a few days. I have so much fun here! Dorian has a big fenced-in yard so I just play all day! There's even a fountain back there... but Mom always yells at me when I get too close. This time, no one was watching and I couldn't contain the urge... so I went for it! Splish-splash in the fountain! It was so much fun!! Then I wasn't allowed back in the house because I was green from the algae and wet and "stinky" apparently - whatever that means. So I kept playing in the fountain - all weekend. Mom is gonna be soooooo mad. I am sure I'm getting a bath tomorrow night when she picks me up. But I still can't wait to see her!
Yesterday afternoon, Mom packed us up in the car and we headed to Mawmaw's house in Kentucky for the weekend! I was sooo excited! I love bye-bye trips - and even more, I LOVE Mawmaw's house. I get lots of love, plus Aunt Hailey and Aunt Buttercup are there, too! Sometimes, they don't really want to play... and Buttercup shows me her grill. But I love them anyway.
On Saturday, Mom surprised me with a Frosty Paws party! Axle and Tonka came over, too! We all went out on the deck and enjoyed our yummy treats and a huge bucket of ice cubes! I wasn't sure what to make of the frozen treat at first, but Mom helped me out with it. It sure was yummy! Mawmaw bought me some great presents! I got a new bone and a rope toy and a teddy bear to snuggle with. Mom says I only get the teddy bear to go night-night with because I'm rough with my babies - whatever that means.
After the Frosty Paws, we played fetched for a little bit... and then I got in trouble for eating mulch so the party was over. I hope every birthday is this great!
I don't know why Mom keeps bathing me... I swear I'm not dirty!
Mom and I have been house-sitting at Dorian's this week. Oliver and I couldn't understand how Daisy got to sleep in the bed every night but we were left out. So while Mom was getting ready for bed, we staked out our spots and got nice and cozy. We were too cute for her to make us move!
