ice practise

today my mudder sed "come on Percy, it is a sunnty day and it is time you learnt how to walk safely on ice so you canz come fishing with us soon".  I sed "ok mudder let us go togedder.
I ruv it whin my mudder teaches me new tings.  she sez I am a fast learner.

however, as soon as we arrived mudder sed "Oh dear Percy, we have a bit of a problem"  the lake wuzzed not all freezed up-do you see the open water?  I had to stay on my leash very near the shore.

I wuzzed all safe and I learnt how to not slide , I also learnt something else...

that ,melting lake water tasted rilly yummy!

as always I had a liddle photo shoot.  did is me looking like a sentry to keep everyone safe!

I tended I wuzzed a life guard on the ice!!  nobody at all falled thru today!

icicles and frozen wadderfall

me and mudder went on a hike today to see if our wadderfall wuz frozed up yet.

it wuz a icy walk and I pulled and pulled and almost slid down a cliff and taked mudder with me.  I wuz so lucky that mudder keeped a good hold on my leash!  

it wuz like a ice castle!  these icicles were as big as me!

and sure enuff, our wadderfall wuzzed frozed solid.  I kept lukking at it to see if it wud melt and turn to wadder but it never did.  

I lukked up at all of the icicles and pretended I wuz a pirate in a cave.  ayyyeee matie.

it wuz a fun hike, except for the almost sliding overboard part.  I had a black neck after this walk for sure!!  mudder calls me pulling Percy.  I keep her shoulder frum ever heeling up...

I tried to luk sorry for pulling so much, gud thing the sun wuzzed in my eyes-it gives me a gud sorry face.  

peeky boo

Phil spended all day today making repairs on our fence to keep those bad rocks frum coming underneath into our yard.  Mudder spent hours on knee pads looking at every square inch of yard to make sure all rocks are for sure picked up.  I wuzzed curious to see the neighbors back yard, so I taked a quick peek.

it wuz so great it made me smile!

I sed to grouchy pants ASA, "hey, come here and have a lookit the neighbors backyard".

Grouchy pants telled me to mind my own bizness and quit being a peeping tom...  why did he call me tom?  has he gone crazier than normal?  whut a funny grouchy pants.  doh

I am back in the hospital bucuzzed I ate anudder one.  Mudder is scaret becuz the dr. vets say that this time I have to have my tummy cut open so they can git it out.   

I has to have an IV and git hooked up to medicines.  I em towing up and having mucus diarrhea.  Mudder taked me out one more time before my operation.  Thin the dr. vet sed he wud check one last  pitcher of my insides to make sure the rock is still stuck....

GUESS WHUT?????  The rock wuzzed gone!!!!  mudder dent evin know it but win I goed outside that last time I pooped it right out!  it wuzzed dark and mudder cud not see it.  So they taked a flashlight outside and sure enuf-THERE WUZZED THAT BAD ROCK!!!!

everybuddy hooped and hollered and mudder and Phil nearly cried tears of happiness!  I em so happy too, becuz now I git to come home!  

It sure wuzzed a long and stressfull day, but I em home and snuggled up with my cattypiller.  ahhh.

Christmas tree dumping

Today on my wok with my mudder we finded a pile of used Christmas trees.  I cud not believe it, who wud jest dump their trees in the park?  I went to investigate.

I taked a gud look in the middle of the heap and win I came out mudder was laughing and laughing and laughing!  She taked a pitcher of whut all her laffing was regarding!  I em preddy funny indeed.

I tangled up in sum old decorations frum inside the heap of trees--and I came out decorated!!

I comed inside and wallerd on the Christmas tree skirt and then tracked my mud prints all over the place.

She taked me right back in for annuder.  And she was saying a lot of bad words.  Good ting Santy Paws already commed with my gift!

Sickly me

I steel did not eat and I am having diarrhea today, and I keep throwing up too.  Mommy sed "Percy, we are going to the vet".  I sed, "oh no".  Thin she sed-you bedder not have eaten anudder rock.  Thin she sed-maybe it wuz that raw meat you ate.  I wunted to tell her that raw meat is gud for wolves, but she wasn't in a joking mood, so she loaded me up and off we went.

This is a pitcher of my insides...  I dent evin has to smile while it wuz taken.

and sure enough- the vet sed yes, I did eat anuddeer rock... and it is maybe stuck inside my ntestine.  I has to stay in the hospital to make sure it will come out and I wont need a operation.. I'm not feeling gud at all and Mommy jest gived me a liddle kiss and sed she wud see me later.  I had to have sum fur shaved and an IV in my leg.  And I has to stay in this cold and lonely kennel.  I'm crying up.

My tummy is sick

I throwed up today.  And I dent want to eat my meals or evin my cranberry pills.  Mommy sed, well, Percy, I bet your tummy IS sick-you eated a whole raw steak last night.

I jest rested all day.  

thief

Tonight while Mommy wuzzed making dinner, I jumped up to the counter (in my very annoying way), and while she wuz not looking, I taked a piece of meat.  A whole chunk of raw steak.  I tended I wuzzed a wolf and I prowled out my own dinner in the wild.  I started to swallow it and Mommy shrieked "PERCIVAL , what did you do?  Where is the udder piece of meat?"  "#)**&^*!#_%#$#^"
I gulped it down and sed I not doing a single ting Mommy, I jest sitting here watching you cook dinner.  Thin she noticed and I tended like evryting wuz normal.  I tried to tell Mommy that Asa or Max did it, but she knew bedder.  She sed she shud give me a paddling, but she dent.  She callt me a bad boy,  That hurt worse than a paddling.  I try to be good boy all the time.

This is whut the recipe callt for...

and this is whut wuzzed left after I helped muself

Now I has a big ball of rawness in my tum tum.  If Wolfs can eat it, so canz Percy!
