Life at home

I’m sorry I haven’t blogged recently, Mommy says she’s been too busy to help me–something about needing to do a lot of work to move her class online or something like that.  I’ve noticed that Mommy and Daddy have been home a lot (yay!), but they’ve been talking to their computers instead of spending time with me (boo!).  Sigh.

If you are at home, shouldn’t you play with me and give me lots of treats instead?  Since you aren’t going out lately, I think you still owe me those treats you usually give me when you go out.  You agree with me, don’t you, loyal Mochi fans?  Woof!

Lights

Daddy bought some LED lights for my harness so everyone can see me at night.  I’m not really sure about them, though.

What do you think?  Do you think my bling is cool?  I’m hoping that it might snag me some extra treats, woof!

Exercise

Mommy and Daddy have been making me exercise more.  After talking with Aunty Debbie, they decided that I need to do some core strengthening exercises for my old man muscles so they bought me a balance disc.

I’m getting the hang of putting my front paws on my disc, but it isn’t too fun.  I’m not exactly sure how it is helping, but I get some yummy venison jerky out of it when I do my exercises, so I’m not going to complain too much…well until Daddy doesn’t give me the jerky fast enough.  Can we skip the exercises and just go to the jerky, please?  Woof!

My new princely blanket

Today, I want to tell you about my new blanket.  It is a very special blanket that Grandma made for me with cute blue puppy fleece on one side and a very soft teal velour on the other.  Look how beautiful it looks on my bed!

Sorry you can’t see the blue puppy fleece in that photo, I’ll show you some other time.  In any case, it was made with lots of love and I love to sleep on it!  Daddy says it is my princely blanket because I look like a little prince with a luxurious blanket when I am in it.

Thanks so much for my princely blanket, Grandma!  I think of you every time I cuddle with it, woof!

Eleven!

Today is my birthday, hurray!  I am eleven!  Mommy says I’m still a puppy even though I’m eleven now, just an old man puppy.  To celebrate, Daddy took me to two pet stores to buy a pupcake and a toy while Mommy was at work.  Oh boy, oh boy was the pet store fun.  I got a lot of treats!

I had to wait a long time before I could eat my pupcake.  Daddy, we didn’t really have to wait for Mommy to come home, did we?  Oh well, when it was finally time to celebrate, I was so happy!

Look how yummy that peanut butter pupcake looks!!  Unfortunately, I had to wait a long time for Mommy to take photos before I could eat it.  I was not pleased.

I put on my best begging face.

Mommy eventually relented.  I was so excited that I may have had a little accident in the house.  Thanks for cleaning up, Daddy!

Eventually it was all mine, although it seemed a lot smaller than the original pupcake, hmmm…  Mommy said something about a diet, I don’t know what she’s talking about.

In any case, I ate it really fast just to make sure my humans didn’t take it away again.  It was so good!  Can we celebrate some more tomorrow?  Woof!

 

Holidays with the family

Sorry I’ve been quiet, I had a lot of fun spending the holidays with my family.  Let me show you what I did!

I saw my best friends from puppyhood.  We are old puppies now.  I think we are still pretty cute.

I had some quality napping time in the sun.  It felt so good!

I helped Mommy and Grandma wrap gifts.  And by wrap, I mean unwrap my gift as soon as it was prepared.

I helped with the holiday baking, specifically clean up duty.  I love when we make peanut butter and jelly muffins for Christmas brunch!  Cleaning the peanut butter off the spoons is a very important job.

I was a good big cousin to my baby cousin, Perry, including posing for this photo:

I also stole some of Perry’s toys.

All in all, it was a wonderful holiday!  I can’t wait to see what 2020 brings, hopefully more treats for yours truly.  Sending Mochi kisses, woof!

Spa day

Mommy says I had a spa day today.  I don’t know what she’s talking about, it was torture!  She also says I went from being a shaggy beast to super cute.  I also don’t know what she’s talking about there because I’m always super cute.

Here’s me before my trip:

Here is me after:

I guess I’m looking pretty dapper now, though I wish we could skip the stripping and bath steps.  I get a treat now, right?  Woof!

Chaw

On days when I am lucky, Mommy gives me a chaw after dinner for me to chew on.  Mommy says they are good for my teeth to knock off plaque.  I don’t know what that means, but they are really tasty!

Daddy calls these my “cigarillos.”  I don’t know what that means either, but they have no rawhide and they are fun to eat!  I’m really hoping I get one of these today, what do you think Mommy?  I’ve been a good boy, woof!

Lazy weekend

Mommy and Daddy have been busy working, so I had a lazy weekend.  It’s good fun to cuddle with my favorite fleece blanket when it is cooler out, especially in the evenings!

Since Daddy is too busy to take me to the pet store this weekend, I’ll have to dream about it instead.  Hopefully he will have time to take me next weekend so I can beg for all the yummy treats behind the counter!  Woof!

The jerky fairy

I must have been a good boy because the Jerky Fairy has been stopping by my house lately and leaving pieces of that yummy duck jerky around the house.  I have to check every nook and corner and under my blankets just to make sure I find it all.

Mommy says something about glucosamine and how the jerky is good for my old man puppy bones.  I don’t know what she’s talking about, but this stuff sure is tasty!  Come and visit me again soon Jerky Fairy!
