Water makes me angry...

Arf!

"Get it off! Get it off!" That's my reaction when I come in contact with water. (Which would make you think that I might appreciate that blasted rain coat...I never said I was a sensible pup).

So anyway, my Mom gave me a bath last night to make sure I was all fluffy and clean for my visit to aunt Sydney's house today. It didn't go over well. 

Sad and wet.

After Mom took this cruel pic, I proceeded to fight with her while she tried to get the water off with a towel. Then, when she put me down, I really lost it.

Baths are not fun. Beware the wrath of of a wet puppy!

But I want them both!! The dilemma...

Arf!

Do you ever encounter the situation, when you're chasing a tennis ball, and then suddenly there is another tennis ball that you want more? But you have a tiny, itty bitty little Pomeranian mouth, and you can't manage pick up both tennis balls at the same time? Well I do!

I try to keep track of them both, but this is what happens:

Yes...I'm aware...I'm freaking adorable. Tell me something that I don't hear every five minutes (usually from my mom).

Dress-up pup

Arf!

So I've been mighty busy lately. Well actually, my mom has been really busy, and has been using the computer ALL THE TIME, so no time for me. But she has found some time to dress me up in ridiculous, but admittedly cute outfits.

First I was, HOTDOG-POM!

The office ladies couldn't get enough of me!

And the, I was a mexi-pup. This was my first sombrero...

It's actually a magnet...

But then I got a read, perfectly pom sized sombrero, and partied the night away...until I fell asleep that is. 

I know that I look sad here, but I'm really just tired.

Hanging out with my dad and his poncho.

Been busy fighting crime!

Arf!

Hey there people and doggies!

I've been gearing up for Halloween and trying out different looks. What do you think of this one? Is your spidey sense tingling?

My "Get this thing off me" sense was tingling...

Where's the kitty?

Arf!

Seriously! Where is he?

My mom asks me this all the time. Sometimes he's just chilling on the couch. Sometimes he's on the counter, taunting me. This time, he was in the bookshelf cubby. Not a particularly stealth hiding place if you ask me...

But seriously - I looove Romeo. He's my homie. He thinks that if he's in a ball on a white blanket, he is invisible. Kind of like when I think that by putting my toys in the corner, they are hidden I guess...

I'm a lover, not a fighter...

Arf!

Hey peeps! Sorry I've been away for so long. I was busy having a bunch of adventures in Windsor with my extended family. I had a great time staying with my grandparents, and now I'm back home with Romeo.

Romes is the best for cuddles!

So lately I've been really...um...lovey. I just want to "love" things all the time. I guess, since I'm almost six months old, this is a regular occurrence. But I used to run free at the dog park, doing laps and wrestling with the other pups playfully. Now I'm too overcome by the desire to love everything that I don't run around any more. Unless of course, I'm mid-love, and my lovely friend takes off, and well...things get weird.

My first love was Sarah Jessica Puppy (Affectionately called SJP). She was brought to me by my aunt Megan. She is so small and grey and cute, with her Schnauzer beard and her sassy smile. I fell in love with her the day we met, and I've been loving her ever since.

But I love Romeo too. In more of a bro-mance kind of way. We don't cuddle often, because I'm usually too busy trying to bite his ears, or catch his sneaky tail, but when we do, it's a moment for the ages.

Anyway, I keep hearing my mom say that I'll get over my loving days soon. I can't imagine why that would be. I just want to love, and then love some more.

LOVE! Ollie xoxox (hump, hump, hump)

Trampolie pup!

Arf!

Hey guys! I'm visiting my grandparents this week. I saw that my Mom just posted a blog...she misses me a lot. I hear that she keeps making my dad watch videos of me. He thinks she is crazy. Crazy for me!

Speaking of videos, I have some up on youtube now!


Here is some trampoline fun with Matti and Aunt Megan!


And some beach fun!  I'm pretty cute!!

Comic Pup

I'm missing Ollie right now because Pat and I are away on a road trip, and he's staying with his grandparents. But I thought you might all be missing the little nugget as well, so I thought I would post some of his funnier moments.

Enter...comic pup!

Pinky and the Brain never gets old.

That's all for now, other than "Hello from Texas!".

It's business time...

Arf!

So, I thought you might all be interested in what I do at work all day long. It's not just naps and hanging out with the ladies! Though it's not business time in the sense of Flight of the Concords...it's still pretty excellent.

I wear my uber professional tie and make very important decisions at the board room table. To nap, or not to nap?

I look up to my co-workers. They are generally taller than me as a rule.

And OBV...I look gooood in this tie! It's hard work to be ridiculously good looking!

Dirty dog...

Last Saturday was an exciting day for all. It was Sydney's (Ollie's aunt Sydney) birthday, and aunt Megan's trampoline party. Annnd it was Mud Hero. Mud Hero is a rope-swinging, mud-crawling, ramp-running, wall-climbing, tunnel-diving, slide-slipping, net-crossing, tire-tripping, un-freakin’-believable obstacle run of its kind that’s 100% Canadian-owned.

All muddy after playing in the park.

Ollie, being a dog and all, likes to get dirty. Though he hates being wet, mud is not an issue. See below, after a romp in the park with a husky puppy friend.

So Ollie came along for the Mud Hero fun, accompanies by aunt Tami. Ollie has a lot of aunts! Megan is my sister, but all the rest of them are like sisters! Ollie really got into the mud hero theme. As you might remember, his FAVOURITE activity is digging. And digging in the mud is the best digging out there!

My own little mud hero

Ollie was quite the muddy mess before we even started the race.

Muddy mess

Then he waited patiently while Syd and I ran the race. Okaaaay...Syd ran. I walked most of the way, with intermittent attempts to run. My ragweed allergies are really bad right now, and it was hot. Don't judge. Tami captured several pics and videos of us running, and some of the patient pup.

Ollie celebrated with Sydney when she finished the race, and got quite a bit more muddy. And then he really got into it when I finished. There was mud everywhere. He looks unimpressed in this pic, but I think he was just grumpy about being left behind during the race. He often greets me enthusiastically, and then gets a bit pissy at me for leaving in the first place. We really need to work on the separation anxiety.








After we spent about a half hour de-mudding, we went to my parent's house for Megan's trampoline party. The tramp has been around for many years, so we set it up one last time, and gave it a good bounce, before sending it on its way. Ollie eve tried the tramp with Megan and her friend Mike.

Then Tami and Sydney hung out with Ollie while he slept. It was a long day and there is only so much excitement that one pup can take! Thanks everyone for the amazing day!

I'm growing up so fast!

Arf!

Hello my friends! I know I'm always going on about how big I'm getting, but it's astounding! I was thinking back to when I was very very small, and thought I would share some memories with you. 

This is me when I was only three weeks old.

Apparently I look more like a beaver than a pom!

Me at five weeks - looking more pommy!

Seven weeks - already in love with shoes.

Nine weeks! This picture is from my first weekend in the city.

I was sooo small! I'm pretty sure my legs are three times this long now.

But I'm not a lion!

Arf!

It was my Dad's birthday last weekend, and we were pretty busy on Saturday! We even saw my cousin Carter!

And for my dad's birthday, my Grandma and Grandpa got ME some presents! I like one of them...what do you think?

Dad's a big Lion's fan!

Grandma also got me some booties...we'll see how those go over when it gets cold out! Thanks guys! Love!

Ollie's new hairstyles!

Check out Ollie's new hairstyles! Thanks to the "Pimp my hair" app.

What do you think? I like the Bieber...

Ug...more wet stuff!

Dog mom Lily

Arf!

What's with all this water falling from the sky again? I really don't like it! But luckily my parent's hadn't clued into the fact that it was raining this morning, so I wasn't subjected to the dreaded raincoat. Actually, I think my dad knew that it was raining, but didn't say anything because he's fully against dressing me up like a person. Ten points dad!

So this morning I was gazing at myself in the closet mirror. Just checking out my lanky puppy self, as puppies do. And I started wondering what I will look like when I'm fully grown.

What do you think I'm going to look like when I grow up? My dog mom was really red/orange, but my dog dad was very light.

 My human Mom thinks I will look like this.

My human dad thinks I will look like this!I think he thinks I'm heading for a life as a wild, unrefined Pom...

Look at that guys hair! He's like the Fabio of dogs, with the crazy eyes of Steve Buscemi!

Sleepy puppy

Ollie and I went to the vet this morning, and so far its been a very big day for the very little guy.

After the vet, we went to the Evergreen Brickworks market, where Ollie got to meet lots people and dogs!

The little guy sees every new person/dog that he comes across as a possible new friend. He puts his full energy into greeting someone new, and shows them just how excited he is to make their acquaintance. I think we should all learn from his enthusiasm!

But now he is completely tuckered out, and will sleep for a while, so I thought it would be a good time to post some of his cutest sleepy puppy moments.
