Another Shelby Blog.... it's been too long!

[Christine & Shelby]

Hi Doods.... Shelby here! It has been so long since I blogged, that I finally convinced my mom to leave the laptop booted up so I could update you all on what I have been up to! This past weekend was AWESOME! On Saturday morning we went to the dog park (our normal routine) and we stayed for 3 hours. I got to play with my friends Knox, Malu, Tucker, Cosmo, Captain and Guinness! It was a great time. I got hosed down before getting in the SUV - by the way, I now can jump in the tailgate on my own - mom doesn't have to lift me any more! After mom and I had a bite to eat... we went to an event called Weinerfest. There were lots of dogs - lot's of weinerdogs. They are cute.... but so short and long! They raced to see who was the fastest weiner dog. Mom and I watched, I met lots of dogs and we got to shop too! I had a good time, but boy was I tired when I got home. Then Sunday.... mom suprised me and we went to the dog park AGAIN! I could barely contain myself... I was so excited.... and Tucker was there too!

The past two months I have been going to play care twice a week and it is so much fun! I love going to play care.... I have met so many new dogs! I mentioned my friend Tucker earlier... he is a miniature labradoodle who we met at the dog park. After our humans talked a bit - we found he was new to our town and we live only 5 houses apart - how cool is that.... there is another doodle on my block. We have had playdates and everything!

After my last post about Doodle decorating going too far, I have taken a break from decorating around the house. Not only did my mom not like what I did with the bathroom rug, she got rid of the rug all together! I don't really sleep in the bathroom any more, now I sleep on the dog bed right by my mom's bed. This way - I can keep my eye on her if she gets up! She is really nice and gives me a treat every night when we go to bed! Since I haven't been decorating.... I've taken up a bit of counter surfing! Mom doesn't seem happy with that.... so now I am just trying to keep myself entertained by stealing/shredding toilet paper. One night I got it and shredded the whole roll without my mom waking up - she keeps referring to it as the "toilet paper massacre" - what ever that means. She now keeps in even further out of reach - I haven't figured out how to get it, but I will.... I had a dream about it the other night and may have to try out a new plan that came to me in my dream real soon!

Well doods, I am pooped - I went to day care today and it is getting close to mom's bedtime, so we have to play and snuggle a bit first! Hope you liked my blog.... sorry it has been so long!

Shelby, I am a big boy and I still love toilet paper. I trained my mom and dad to keep the bathroom doors closed, but my human brother and his friends forget. teehee.

Shelby, Allie here. I like toilet paper too. One day I surprised Daddy with TP all over the house. Mommy said it was a good thing he did not leave it for her to "see" because he does that sometimes. He thinks she will want to see it but I know he just wants her to pick it all up. Crazy daddy. Anyway it was sure a good thing he did not do it that day because mommy had had a really long day at the office. See you later and keep up the "good" work you have become somewhat of an idol to me.
