Hard day to be a Trojan fan...

So my mom came home the other day and found my dad and me, in front of the TV, in matching USC shirts. She said, "That is the cutest thing I have ever seen...my boys!" You know moms, they are all gushy and stuff like that. Women!! Anyway, my dad and I watched the game on Thursday and we wanted to turn it off it was so bad. My dad says these shirts are bad luck so we aren't allowed to wear them ever again. That's a shame, cause I look really cute. My uncles Dewey and Cody will be here for the game this weekend. I won't be wearing my shirt...

Making up for lost time...

I have had quite an action packed week. I was pretty sad when my Uncles Dewey and Cody left me, but before I even knew it, my grandma Carol was at the door. I couldn't even believe it. She came all this way just to visit me?? We cleaned up the house as usual and I just stayed right by grandma's side the whole time. All good things come to an end, and so it is when my grandma left. But the highlight of the weekend came when I got to visit my girlfriend Chelsea. We hung out all day, chasing each other, tugging at toys, and laying around the house. It's true what they--absence makes the heart grow fonder. Being away from my Chelsea is tough, but we take advantage of every minute we have together.

Anyway, I have been so busy lately with my visitors, that I haven't been able to give my new GIANT loofa toy the attention it deserves. I am definitely making up for lost time. I'll show that loofa who's boss!! I didn't even know my mom was taping me!

Best vacation of my life...

I guess all good things come to an end, and my two week vacation to Las Vegas was a GOOD thing. My parents went out of town so I got to go to my Hal's house and my grandma Laura's house. Man, I just had the best time. Cody is my best friend. I followed him around all day and all night. I didn't want to miss one minute of the action. Dewey lets me walk all over him and occassionally growls to tell me I'm being a pest. But Cody and I can go all day!! We tugged apart seven stuffed animals. I licked his chops the majority of our time together. I feel like one of the big boys when I'm with my uncles, Dewey and Cody. My parents tell me that my Uncles are going to visit us every time USC plays football here...whatever that means. I'm jazzed.

My Uncles left almost 12 hours ago and I have been passed out ever since. I'm exhausted. I have been non-stop for 2 weeks. I even fell asleep in my mom's arms like a baby. I'll have to catch up on my zzzz's before my Uncles' next visit. Bye now...

The All-American Couple

That's What Friends Are For...

My parents let my buddy, Longfellow, stay the whole week and man, what a week it was!! We were non-stop...taking turns bitting each other's excess neck skin, racing around the house, tugging back and forth on my toys. We took some naps with my Dad and even watched my new dog movie my parents bought me. Longfellow is cool and all, but he kept peeing in my parents house. I tried to work on it with him, but a Bug can't create miracles, you know!!

My aunt Emily came to stay with me this weekend while my parents were at my aunt Amanda's wedding. So many visitors! I told you I was popular.

I hear I'll be making a trip next week to visit my Hal. My Hal tells me he bought me a loofa dog that is bigger than I am. Oh Man!!

I'm Number One

Well, my suspicions are confirmed...I am the best in my agility class. Just call me Michael Phelps!! On the eve on my dad's birthday, I ran the fastest time on my agility track at 53 seconds. Okay, okay, you got me...I was deducted 5 seconds for jumping off the teeter totter too early, but I was just so excited. That means everyone else in my class was eating my dust. My dad and I booked it!! See the below video to re-live my championship moment...

I think I will take more agility classes, seeing that I am practically a natural. And I have to say, I was the most popular competitor this season. I had several visitors: my great grandpa John, my grandma and grandpa Duke and Carol, and my dad's secretary Sandy. I really put the Bugg breed on the map, huh?

Here is a compilation of shots from this year's class, including some of my favorite fellow competitors, and of course, my trophy. The first of many I'm sure...Now if only I could convince my parents to feed me the type of breakfast that Michael Phelps eats each day.

What a week...

I don't know what I did to deserve this, but I am having the best week. My grandma is here because she is on vacation from school. We have been doing so much together. My mom calls her a merry maid, whatever that means. We mopped my new tile floors, squeegeed the patio door windows, dusted all surfaces, and cleaned up the grill. We did some serious gardening too. Of course, my grandma has cooked up a storm too. I've been right there in the kitchen to supervise the preparation, since I am well versed from all my watching of the Food Network with my grandpa Hal.

Anyway, I understand my grandma and grandpa are going to come watch me at agility class on Thursday. Meanwhile, I will continue to gouge out the eyeballs of this Lobster my parents brought me from Boston. It's practically a carcass now. Yum!

I'm nearly competition ready!

That's right...I'm getting pretty darn good at this agility thing. I am even beginning to go parts of the course on my own. I'm practically the valedictorian of my class!

Just one of the boys...

Damn, life is good as a bachelor! My uncle Randy and I hung out all week, when my parents and grandparents went on vacation in Boston. Camlo and Mikey came over too. We BBQ'd hamburgers, watched 100s of hours of baseball, gambled online, and just hung out during the day. I would have liked to gamble some more, but my parents simply don't give me a big enough allowance. I wrestled with my Uncle Mikey, too. My aunt Dutchess was the odd woman out, since she was surrounded by all us macho men. My grandpa said she is glad to be rid of me. I just don't get it though...all I want to do is play. I'm usually so irresistable!

Anyway, my mom and dad said they had a great trip. I'm glad to be back at my own pad now, since my grandma doesn't have a dog door. I like the freedom to come and go as I please. I'm a big boy now, afterall.

I hope I get to hang out with my homeboys again someday. They're coo', you know?! Gotta go...I have another agility class.

Another eventful weekend...

Once again, I had a full social calendar this weekend. We went to San Diego to see my grandma and grandpa, Uncle Randy, and of course, my aunt Dutchess. My aunt Dutchess has so many babies; I took all 8 out and spread them out all over the house. I even tore one of them to shreds. It's awfully nice of her to let me play with all her toys. Of course, she is much older now and doesn't seem too interested in them anyway. She isn't interested in me either!

But my grandma has the best garden. I could play there all day. I scale the hill and smell all her flowers. I bark at the occassional passer by. It's a good life in San Diego. My parents tell me that my uncle Randy is going to be my roommate next week, since they will be in Boston with grandma and grandpa. So, I'm guessing I'll probably spend the week gambling, watching baseball on TV and playing video games. I'm pretty pumped! Until then...
