Whoooodeeeehoooooo

Mom had a rough day but right after her morning jog, she took me to the dogrun where I met a yorkie named Chuck and a cute little yippy broad whose name I shall not mention. We had a blast. Mom even had water for me so that I could stay out for over an hour. She looked really tired but she hung out with Chuck's mom, a really sweet woman who lives on the east side of Mt. Morris Park.

After the dogrun, mom took me to Queens to visit with Donna. Donna is doing much better these days and she asked mom to put me on her lap. Mom complied and Donna gave me a big hug and lots of kisses. Donna's really cool...and so is her mom. I could tell that my mom was glad to spend the day with me. She felt uneasy about having to drop me off at home before visiting her grandma in the Bronx.

When mom got home she took me for a nice long walk. We made it home as the sky opened up and released a light shower on our little Harlem village.

Back at the dogrun

So this morning mom accidentally slammed the door on my head. But I'm okay, I'm okay. I do have a little bruise under my right eye though. She panicked of course, picked me up, held me, and rubbed my belly for awhile. She cooed at me, etc. I wanted to tell her to just chill and that I really needed to go to the bathroom but I held it. I can't resist a good bellyrub.

We went to the dogrun. We haven't been there in over two weeks because of my surgery and I had a lot of pent up energy that needed to be released. There was a slow movin' little black pug in the dogrun with me. I taunted him. I mounted him to show him that I was the boss and then I smacked him in the face in an attempt to get him to run after me. Nothing worked. The poor fool's belly was weighing him down. Mom thought he was cute and reached down to pet him so I snarled at her.

Eventually little Mr. Pugsly and his owner left me all alone. I barked, I ran around an played with sticks, and I talked to other dogs as they walked by the dogrun. "Come on in and play with me." But no one came. Mom took me home where I napped and napped.

Please baby baby please baby baby please

Mom and pops left town this weekend and they thought I didn't know. I watched them packin' up their suitcases enviously. I grabbed mom's bikini top and ran through the apartment with it. "Y'all can't leave without me," I shouted.

They just stared at me as though I wasn't making any sense. Then pops grabbed me and shook me upside down until I lost hold of the top. He gave me a big, hug, a squeeze, and played our throw the puppy game with me as mom quickly dragged the luggage outside. He put the dang silencing collar on me that sprays me when I try to talk and ran out of the apartment. I was livid but I couldn't say a word without getting my snout squirted. Ugh. So I danced around to some trip hop that they left on for me before I fell asleep.

The sound of keys in the door roused me from my slumber and when the door opened it was Courtney. I ran towards her with glee and wagged my little tail stump so that she knew I remembered her. She looked like she had had a rough day so I played with her knees and when she bent down, I gave her a big kiss on the cheek. She smiled and pet me and rubbed my ears before putting on my leash and taking me over to her place. Human chicks can't resist me but I'm still having a hard time with the b***hes.

I spent the weekend with Courtney and her new man friend, Ray. That Saturday, they took me to the park where I got to sniff after hotties. Although I can no longer make babies, my equipment still works. I tried to whisper that to a cute rottweiler but she kissed her teeth and cut her eyes at me.

"Where you from?" she asked.

"Upstate," I replied as Courtney started pulling me away. "Yo baby, I walk this route every day...let's meet up."

"Puh-lease, you ain't hood enough for me," The Rottie said gruffly.

My ego was more than a little bruised. I lost the pep in my step and walked with my head hung low for the rest of the afternoon. I guess my accent still reeks of upstate even though I've been living here since last summer. As if there's anything wrong with being from upstate...shoot!

Courtney and Ray could tell I was upset so they took me back home fed me, played fetch with me, and rubbed my belly for hours, which took my mind off the rejection. Here's a picture of Ray tellin' me that one day I'll meet the right woman and that everything will be okay. They're the best sitters uptown!

I've Been Nipped

And so here I am, changed...a eunuch. I don't know how to feel but I sure do dig my meds. I'm feeling a bit loopy and I've been napping a lot. Mom cried in the doctor's office when the vet showed her what had been done and how to make sure that I heal. The vet and her assistant told mom to take me home and have a drink. "I've already had three beers," mom whimpered. I propped myself up on her knee and she scooped me up and held me in her lap. I gave her kisses and we cuddled. We've gone on two walks since yesterday's big fix and I can't wait to get back into that dogrun.

Foreboding

The climate of our apartment had changed. Mom and dad began speaking in hushed tones and sometimes mom had a weepy look on her face. I knew they were talkin' about me and my behavior. I was moody all the time, I couldn't stop myself from mounting big fleshy bitches in the dogrun indiscriminantly, and sometimes I bit.

Mom's nightly routine began to change. She began bringing me up into the bed for cuddles and whispering breathily, "I love, you, I love you, I love you," like a mad woman. I knew that my parents were about to commit the ultimate act of betrayal. I tried to clean up my act for a few days and I know mom and dad noticed. I even dragged my feet a bit around the apartment and moped. But I knew deep down inside what was to come.
