My New Cousin

I's have a new cousin! My Aunt Laney finally realized how much love I bring my momma, how much love my cousin Rowan brings Aunt Abby and Uncle Scott, and Aunt Laney decided she was a little low on love. Hence the arrival of Jacques-Imo!



Jacques-Imo is a special wittle guy cuz he truly got a second chance at life. He was at a kill shelter and was about to be euthanized before being transported to Second Chance SPCA in Plano, TX. Second Chance is a no-kill shelter and they took great care of cousin Jacques-Imo until Aunt Laney found him. I think he is a little shy and scared right now but I know he will warm right up to Aunt Laney. I can't wait to romp around with him! I hope I get to meet him soon!

LEARNING TO WALK

I'm sorry I have been away from the blog world for so long. I have been way too busy to blog. I have furniture to chew on, paper to shred, and squirrels to chase. But today was such a big day for me...at least that is what momma says. Somethin' about today I went little potty differently than I usually do. I'm not quite sure what the bid deal is; I just lifted my leg a little. But momma is making such a big deal about it, saying its like I learned to walk or something. She keeps telling me I'm not a puppy anymore b/c I lifted my leg. She's crazy!

Kissin' Cousins

I's so excited! Last night I finally got to meet my cousin Rowan! Momma and I went to stay out at Uncle Scott and Aunt Abby's house so Rowan and I could play, play, play. We had so much fun. She chased me all around the house, grabbed my shirt, and tried to pounce on me a few times. Then I chased Rowan and pounced on her. We jumped on and off of the furniture, ran from room to room, made lots of noise while Momma, Aunt Abby and Uncle Scott just laughed and laughed at us. They were so surprised at how fast we are and how much energy we have. Duh, we are puppies! I bet Rowan slept as good as I did! I can't wait to play with her again.

LET IT SNEAUX!

Most cajun pups don't get to see sneaux, but I's special! Yesterday it snowed in New Orleans. Yes, you heard me right. Momma couldn't believe it. She was so excited to take me out to see my first snow. I wasn't quite sure what to think of it but I ate it anyway.

This was our first trip outside. I didn't like it much and wanted to go back inside.

What is that cold white stuff on the bush I like to sniff?

Hmmm...I can EAT this?!?!

Okay Momma, I'm done with this. My paws are cold.

Momma made me go out in this???

DONE!

Momma is done with her stupid exams and I couldn't be happier. I have been so bored the past few weeks. Momma quit crating me for a while and she thought that I was being so good in her room for hours at a time all by myself. She didn't even notice until the other day that I had chewed up her dresser drawer handles. Duh momma. Thats what you get for leaving me alone for so long. What is a pup to do?

Momma was such a grouch and so boring during exams but I tried to get her to play anyway. My favorite game was 'Catch Me If You Can'! I would grab momma's pen, highlighter or whatever she was working with when she wasn't looking and run off with it. Then Momma would chase me around the house and around and around and around the coffee table. Once I got Momma's glasses and ran around with those for a while. Then, a few days later, I got a hold of them and chewed them to pieces. Momma can't wear them anymore. Here are a few pics of our fun game!

Me with Momma's glasses. Don't I look studious!


I loooove Momma's markers!

Tis the Season...Exam season that is

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Momma has been keeping me couped up and won't let me on the computer much these days. She seems real busy and in a bad mood. Something about a bunch of tests that she has and she says she doesn't know anything...although I don't know why. She should since she is never home anymore and always at the dumb library. Anyway, she feels real guilty so she quit putting me in my crate when she leaves and now I have full roam of her bedroom. I've been real good though. I haven't gotten into anything that I am not supposed to. But maybe that is b/c momma pics everything up before she leaves. My favorite thing to do while she is gone, besides howl at the top of my lungs, is to get all of my toys out of my toy basket and spread them around the room. Then momma comes home and picks them all up and puts them back in the basket. And then she leaves and I get to do it all over again.

Momma promises that we will have lots of fun playtime when her dumb tests are over. I can't wait. I'm getting really bored...

Bou's Boo...

I's sick. My tummy hurts and I can't stop shaking. Last night I went to bed with momma. I slept for a little while and then woke her up. I got sick four times on her bed. I was whining so she would let me down but she didn't wake up in time. Then she put me in my crate and I's got sick again. And again. And I just laid there and shook. Poor me. Momma felt so bad. Then she let me out of my crate to clean it and I's got sick on her floor. I's never been sick like this before. Momma was a little worried so she took me to the doctor. But it took so long to get there that I's got a little carsick and got sick in the car. We got to the doggie hospital and they poked and prodded me. I didn't like that so much. Why would you poke on a little doggie's tummy when you know it hurts? I was wishing they would leave me alone. I kept looking at them with my sad Bou eyes but they kept wanting to touch me. Then they took me back and put me on this funny x-ray machine. They wanted to make sure that nothing I've eaten, like acorns and such, were stuck in my tummy. Luckily there was none of that; I's just sick. So after all that prodding, they gave me a shot with a lot of fluid in it. Since they won't let me eat or drink for a while, I guess they wanted to fill me up. And they shot some stuff in me to make my tummy feel better. I's still sick today but I think the worst is over. Poor me. :(

The dog ate my homework

Y'all know that old saying. You probably tried to use it once or twice in third grade. But momma gets to use it all of the time! You wouldn't believe the fun I have ripping apart her papers. Just this morning I got into a huge stack of papers that she has been working on from her evidence class. You know, she has been spending so much time with those dumb papers and not enough time with me so I thought I'd just get rid of them. That should solve the problem! Also, since momma doesn't put her name inside of her school books, I decided to mark them for her so she would know they were hers in case she ever lost them. So all of her books have my little Bou bites on the corners. I'm such a thoughtful pooch....

Gosh I'm Smart

I is so smart. My momma just can't believe how smart I am. This morning I woke her up at 4 a.m. so she could take me outside. I just kept licking her and licking her and walking around her and licking her some more until she finally got up. We went outside and I did my business and ran back inside to get my potty treat. I always get a potty treat when I do my business. So I ran into the treat closet and Momma gave me my treat. Now I don't know if she didn't want to give me a whole treat b/c it was 4 a.m. or what, but Momma only gave me HALF of a treat. Ehem, excuse me Momma, but I think I deserve a whole treat for not going potty in the bed. So after I ate my HALF of a treat and Momma put me back in bed and turned off the lights, I jumped down and ran into the treat closet to look for the other half of my treat. Momma couldn't believe it cuz usually I'm too scared to jump down from the bed. But I really wanted that other half. So I was sniffing around the closet til Momma got up and gave me the second half. Then she put me back in bed and we both happily fell back asleep.

Someone, Please Help My Momma

I don't know what to say. Momma needs help. She is acting really funny and isn't playing with me much today. She keeps saying that she is dragging but I don't know that means. And she keeps trying to get me to take a nap with her. She wouldn't get up and play with me this morning, and we had to take TWO naps today. And we didn't even take a long walk like we usually do. Plus, Sebastian invited me over to go play while Momma went to the library to study, but she didn't even go. Which means I didn't get to go play with Sebastian. Instead, we had to take a dumb nap.

But the worse part is that momma heated up her bowl of red beans and rice for dinner and dropped it on the kitchen floor. For no reason. It made this scary loud crashing noise and beans, sausage and glass went everywhere. It scared me! I tried help Momma clean it up, but she made me go outside instead. Do you know how torturous it is for a little pooch like myself to smell all of that red beans and rice with sausage on the floor and not be able to lick it up? What a cruel joke! Momma was worried I'd eat some of the glass by accident but I didn't care. I wanted those beans and sausage! I think she felt guilty for acting so funny today cuz she heated up some more red beans and rice just for me. She didn't even eat any, but she knows how much I love it. I've had it for dinner the past three nights...so I guess she's not such a bad Momma after all!!!

Splish Splash

I is soooo domesticated. Tonight, I helped momma clean the floor. First I wet the floor by splashing all of the water out of my water dispenser (and no, this isn't like a regular water bowl; think of a bottled water dispenser for doggies). Then I helped momma mop it up by biting the end of the towel so she had to drag me and the towel to soak up the water. I like to think that I really helped her with the mopping, b/c what the towel didn't soak up, I did when she drug me across the floor. And now, she doesn't even have to give me a bath cuz I'm all wet. See, I can even bathe myself. I is such a big boy.

I is Sooo Popular Too

Let's just face it - its hard to be popular. Last night, my momma and I went out on the front porch so she could yap away on the phone and I could growl at all of the passers-by, and lo and behold, up walk Lizzie, Cooper and Sebastian. Oh, and their mommas and other humans were there too. But I didn't care about all of them - I just wanted to see my friends. So momma and I joined them for a walk. While momma was inside getting my leash, I showed off my new trick to my friends - momma had me gated in the front porch, but I showed her... she thinks I can't get out cuz I'm too scared to jump down from the porch. It is pretty scary. But I am so smart that I squeezed my little belly under the porch gate and walked right down the steps. Duh, mom.

I was worried it would be a little awkward cuz I think that my little cupcake, Lizzie, has a thing for Sebastian too. As it turned out, neither of us got to walk with Lizzie. I kept trying but I am so clumsy that I kept hog-tying myself with my leash and getting all tangled with Lizzie and Cooper. What a fun weekend with my friends!

I is Sooo Refined!

Last night, I had my big debut into the world of NOLA sophisticated elite. Instead of putzing around town to the local bars like momma and I usually do, Ms. Kim, Momma and I went to hear the New Orleans Philharmonic Orchestra at the park. What a night! I heard pretty music, drank some of my momma's wine...by accident, I swear it was by accident, and ate some of my momma's brie. I saw my friend Lucy at the park too. Lucy is about a year and a half older than me but she is fun to chase around. Momma let me off of my leash so I could chase Lucy and I was so good...until Lucy and I decided to go make friends with some nice folks who had some yummy pork tenderloin that they shared with us. We were hinting that we wanted some of their red wine too, but all we got was the pork.

After the orchestra, we loaded up and went to see my friend Mr. Choo. Choo and I watched the end of the LSU slaughter with momma and her friends. I chased Mr. Choo around the house for a little bit and then we pooped out. And I've been pooped ever since. Momma is a little worried that I have a slight hangover today....

Mr. Choo and me

BOO!

Did I scare you? Oh don't be silly, that's just my name...Bou, short for Boudreaux. Welcome to my blogspot dogspot and my very first post!
My Aunt Laney was asked to make this page for me, so that my human could keep up with all the dogtastic things I'm doing here in Nola! My human, Molly, says Aunt Laney doesn't like me too much but I don't believe it. I mean look at me!!! Things are going real swell over here lately. I'm growing pretty fast into the feisty canine that I'm supposed to be. Oh, who am I kidding? I like to bark and pretend I'm big but I'm just a wee 10 pounds. Oh, and guess what!!! My human was first worried that I was incompetent and underequipped for a male dog, but the vet says that I do actually have ONE testicle. Isn't that great news?

Well, that's all for now. I've got some cars floats to go chase.
