Then I had to wait a long time to go in to the conformation ring, so I taked a liddle nap.

I still hate baths...

Percy t Basset loves agility!!

I had so much fun this morning at agility class!  it might be my second favorite thing to do with mudder...right behind hunting!  giddyup!

snoody tuesday

I has never had to wear a snood to keep my ears clean before so mudder sed we bedder start gitting used to wearing one  Asa wunted to join in, so mudder dressed him in his bling bling snood and he ruvved it!  I laughed at him.

thin it wuzzed my turn too, so mudder picked a great color for me!  but mine did not have bling and sparkles on it and I wuzzed jelous.  Asa lukked bedder than me for sure.,

So mudder sed, come here jelous boy, you can try out Asas bling bling snood, but you canz not have it.  so we traded snoods and places!

i tried to luk as sophisticated as grounchy pants Asa, but it jest dent work out that way..

and I has to admit--grouchy pants Asa truly luks so dapper!!!!

what a pest

Kitty cat gits away with making so much trubble.  today she hauled out all kinds of Mudders tings frum under her bed.  I heard Mudder go in her room and say "whut in the world has you done, Bronwyn?"  I tink it is time for some obedience training for her.  or maybe a paddling...

she is admiring her work.

a blustery day

April time in Colorado is always so windy.  My lips and ears are flapping.  Mudder sez "it is a gud ting you are so low to the ground and heavy Percy."  "otherwise you might blow away today!"

kitty cat escape artist

Me and grouchy pants Asa and Mudder were enjoying a nice springtime day on the porch when suddenly this happened...  Bronwyn helped herself to our doggie door!!!

she is not supposed to come outside, but she did inyway!

she is NOT a doggie to go thru the door...as soon as I saw this, I chased her right back inside.  Mudder sed "gud boy Percy, kitty cat is not supposed to be outside".  "Now go back to sunning yourself now".  So I did.  Whut wud life be like around here without me helping everybuddy out?

I love saving the day.

a puzzle

I worked hard figuring out how to git this big stick through my doggie door so I cud chew it indoors.  It wuz worth the work, and rilly worth the look on mudders face when she realized that I worked out the puzzle and made it in!

my day at the spa

Mudder is gitting me ready for a special doggie show coming up next week, so today I went to my spa and had all kinds of things done while I taked a nice long nap.  During my comfy slumber I had my teeth cleaned, a pedicure, and I also gotted checked for heart worm.  this is a before and after of my chompers.  and also my sweet face when mudder dropped me off.

I wuzzed still so tired when I gotted back home that I had a liddle dinner and thin mudder tucked me in for a nap.

 I hope the judges appreciate all of my treatments I has today.  nite nite

eye in the sky

whut do you tink that eyeball belongs to that is watching me?  I dent evin know I wuzzed being looked at.  I wonder whut it wunted?  It dent utter a peep.  

I told mudder I tinked it might has been a zombie and she laughed and sed "no Percy, it wuz not a zombie. It wuz not evin an eyeball you d

silly boy.  It is the neighbors TV screen inside there house"!  

boy whut a relief!

spring time day

today wuzzed such a nice weather day.  me and mudder taked a walk down a sidewalk path and across a bridge over a river.

there is still a bit of snow frum winter time.  I wuzzed glad it wuzzed there becuz I was thirtsy.  I ate some.

                                                                             nummy

i have a question

   Do you read what that sign behind me says?  it tells hoomans to not enter when flooded.
I think I shud ask the giant tree of life why a sign like that evin has to be posted.  don't hoomans know you shud not go in to a flood?

Easter

mudder asked me if I wud rather go on an Easter egg hunt....or an Easter Bunny hunt.  I think you know which one I choosed!

grouchy pants Asa

Since Max has been gone Grouchy Pants Asa has become nicer.  Today he told me in secret that he really ruvs me and that he is happy to be my friend.He whispered it to me in my ear.

Percy ruvs you too Asa!

The tree of life

today on our walk me and mudder found the biggest tree I has ever seen.  she sed maybe it wuz the tree of life and that she should take my pitcher sitting under it.  look how small I look!

I contemplated some life things while I did my sit stay.  I asked the tree whut exactly IS the meaning of life.  but that big ole thing did not even answer.  it just sat there being a tree.  So I peepeed on it.

a HA

I finally learnt who made that big pile of scat in my frunt yard---jest lookit what I saw out of the window tonight!  I wunted to go out and bark at them and tell them to pick up after themselves.

but mudder sed if I approached them, they might kick me..  So I dent approach.

weaving day

I got to play with the weave poles at agility this morning.  I think I'm preddy grate at weaving.

then lookit whut we saw when we came out of the barn!  across the street were sum deer.

what a cool place I go to for agility.

beauty class

Tonight we went to conformation class to get ready for sumpting callt a specialty.  it wuz so boring.  all it is about is standing and trotting.  I watched sum of the other doggies and they seemed to be having fun.  but I tink it is yawn fest.  

so I layed down and pretended to be a harbor seal.

that was the funnest thing about the whole class!  its not like agility or hunting.  its a lot of waiting for your turn.  and then you have to stay on your leash and hold real still.  that's hard for me, Percy..

goodnight friend

I had to say goodbye to old man Max tonight.  Sleep easy and I will see you agin at the Rainbow Bride.

we love you Max.

                                                               

pesty Percy

Like evry morning I wanted all of mudders attention,but mudder had sumpting in her lap and was paying her mind to it and not me.  I jumped up to take a look.

I sed helooo mudder, is it time for a walk?  Mudder sed "not right now Percy, cant you see I'm busy?"  I gitted my feelings hurt so I laid down down next to her chair and pouted.

in 2 seconds later, I tried agin, frum the other side.  this time I gave her a very sad face too.

I asked mudder if we could play the kitchen towel chase game.  Mudder sed "Percy, I am busy right now, maybe later".  

I laid down agin and stared at her.  I started to whine cry.  

 I gave her my most disappointed face.  mudder sed "poor baby Percy, but I am doing something right now and I need all of my attention on it.  so please quit whining and go find something else to do by yourself so I can concentrate."  Well, that rilly hurted my feelings.  the only thing I cud think to do by myself was creep mudder frum a distance...

the extra sad face worked-mudder sed "come on Percy we better go on a walk and cheer you all up, you look so pitiful"  

I don't know whut pitiful is but I need to look it more often!

somebody lost their green hand

I has a new favrit toy!  somebodys hand!  

I could not evin believe it when I finded it.  then mudder telled me to go play with it!  evin more surprising!  

it wuzzed so much fun.

mudder evin played chase with me.

I'm sorry for whoever lost their own hand, but I am happy to have finded it!

mudders drawing

this months bark box came with a liddle pitcher frame that had a spot where mudder cud draw a drawing of me and thin next to it put a photograph of me.  I am so proud of mudders art work-it luks exactly like me, don't you think so too??

my brudder Alan

Mudder got to see a pitcher of one of my brudders today.  His name is Alan and he looks a lot like me.  it seems  he evin likes to do the same tings I like.  Here he is at a lake with his Mike.

You might be fooled in to thinking it is me, but it is not.  I wish I could visit him.

I miss you big brudder and I like your harness!  now go for a swim!!!!

cool cat

I am beginning to tink Bronwyn is axilly preddy cool.  She can climb places that I cant and she is super gud at balancing.  she is also very gud at ignoring.  Mudder tells her to git down sumptimes and Bronwyn jest gives her the stink eye and stays where she is.  oooooh, Percy wud have been in so much trubble for sitting on the back of the couch with breakables around.  but not Bronwyn.  she dent evin git in trubble for giving mudder that face.

in fact, she went over and climbed in mudders lap while she worked.  and she got to stay there.

how does she get to do all of these great tings?  later on she was evin sleeping on mudders pillow!

it must be that heart shape she has on her back.  I might somehow put a heart mark on me so I can do all these great tings too .
