It's been a long time since I've had time to write. You might remember that my people got a stupid puppy. That little thing won't let me have a moment of peace! I've wanted to write for a while, but she whines every time I get near a computer. I finally made a pact with the cat (I hate to admit) that if she kept the puppy busy while I write this, I'll give the cat one free week without chasing her. That's how much the puppy bugs me. 

So....limited time. I must hurry. 

I overheard my people booking the puppy and I for the "resort."  Do they think I don't know what that means???? They are leaving me!!! With the stupid puppy!! While they go off to explore. Dang those people!!

The puppy is so stupid, she's all excited about it. She buys into this whole "resort" thing. I can already see that I'll have to be the one to pick up the shattered pieces of her broken heart when she realizes the "resort" is just a kennel with a bunch of other rejected dogs to play with while our people explore the world. 

Uh oh. Must go. Puppy pinned down Cat in a corner. This is going to cost me...bye for now!

That stupid little puppy ruined my safe place!!!  Remember how I told you that I had a whole plan to hide under the bed and pretend I was a stuffed animal in the event of a home invasion?  Well, that little puppy ruined my plan!  Bit by bit, she has dragged every single toy out from under the bed and put them in a pile in the corner.  There is nothing left!!! How will I ever be safe now???  Stupid puppy.  She has no idea what she has done.  My whole existence is threatened now!

To make matters worse, my people took me in to a "spa" for a new look.  Now when I say "spa," you people probably think I mean a nice relaxing pampering place.  That's what my dude says.  How wrong he is!!  The "spa" is where I get tortured for 4 straight hours...starting with a bath, getting my nails trimmed, and then cutting off all my hair that defines me as a quirky, smart little pound puppy.  I came out of that place looking like a little rat!  My dude says I look all "prim and proper," but I miss my crazy curly unruly hair and now I smell like baby powder.  That's not a good smell.

I'm doing my best to get myself all dirty again.  And it must have been working a little too good, because last night I had to have another bath!  My people said I rolled in something smelly.  Of course I did!  I had to get that baby powder smell off of me.  My people just don't understand.

Ok...off I go to rebuild my fortress.  I'm going to try to convince that stupid puppy to work with me, not against me.  I'll let you know how that goes.

I wasn't sure about my new puppy, but she is starting to grow on me. We have a mutual hate for my cat, so that's kinda cool. 

The other day, I got in a bit of trouble. My people tell me that "cats are friends, not food," but I disagree and so does Kate. Kate saw that stupid cat walking around and started chasing her. Well, immediately I had to choose sides. My life depended on it. 

So...I chose Kate. And I ran after that stupid cat and barked her down! It was glorious! We put that stupid cat in her place! 

Just when I was about to finish her off, my people came to her rescue and I got blamed for the whole scheme. 

I'm still not sure about that Kate. She's trouble. But yesterday, she slept next to me and kept me warm. I think I'll let her live a bit longer. 

Now if only we could get rid of that cat!!

Dogs rule! Cats Drool!!

My people hate me! The other day they brought home a new puppy. I thought I was enough for them, but I guess not! They call her "Miss Kate Piddleton" or "Kate" for short. They seem to think it goes with my name "Pippa" and keep making references to how this new puppy is the "royal" one.

If by "royal" they mean "annoying, pain in my butt, full of energy crazy dog," then I agree! This little puppy will not give me a moment of peace. This morning at approximately 6:39 am, I was abruptly awoken when she body slammed me! And then had the audacity of wanting to play! I am NOT a morning dog.

The only bright side is that she does NOT like my cat. In fact, she has no fear of the cat. It has given me a little extra courage to finally stand up to that cat! The other day, Kate barked at my cat while I chased her around the house. It was glorious! Until I got in trouble. My people don't like me chasing the cat.

Well, the puppy is sleeping, so I better run so I can get my nap in. I'm sure I have another body slam coming my way shortly...ugh!!!

I posted a picture of that little puppy because you people seem to like puppy pictures. Bye for now.

Merry Christmas to all my fans and readers :-)

I had a wonderful Christmas week! You may be thinking that Christmas is only a day, but for me - it started last week. Let me explain.

Last week, my people had some visitors arrive to stay with us. It was my girl person's parents (not sure what that means exactly, but I digress).

Anyhoo...they came to stay with us and every single day when my people went to work, the parent people took me out for a walk! Not just once a day, but sometimes we went on two or three walks! It was awesome! I would like to take this opportunity to officially thank them for walking me so much!

Then, yesterday, my people FINALLY put some clothes on me. They called me "Santa Paws" and paraded me around that Christmas tree like a pageant princess! I felt so beautiful and important. Everyone said I was so good because I didn't even try to get the food on the table. By the way, if my nose was as big as my ears, I might have actually SMELLED the food on the table and tried to get it. Sounds like I missed out on some good stuff. I would also like to note that my boy people's parent allowed me into her home for the celebration and I think it was solely for the fact that I looked so darn cute :-) Thank you for letting me in.

So, that sums up my Christmas week. I hope that all of you had a glorious holiday and actually did get some food off that table. Maybe I will next year. But for this year, I am thankful for a week of walks and for being allowed into the celebration.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good fight! (or is it night? I can't remember...) :-)
