escape artist
Snuggles’ Diary
November 19 – I came home with Mom and neighbor Sally. Mom showed me my new house, but I was scared. Then she started talking to me in this squeaky voice and calling me “snuggles” (what a dumb name). I would like to have a cool name like – Blaze, or Buster, or Bingo!
Another name for me could be: The Great Escape Artist! You see, I’m really good at getting out of the crate, out of the gate, and out of the house! My most famous escape was on Thanksgiving when Mom was driving me to Aunt Sue’s house. When Mom stopped at the turnpike entrance gate, I popped up out of the crate! Then I crawled out of the crate and up onto Mom’s shoulders while she was driving on Route 83 through York. I think it made her really nervous because lots of cars were going really fast! She made me get down when she saw a white car with flashing red lights on top…
Another day, Mom was going to a place she calls “work”. But I think she really has fun there, because she stays there a long time every day. Anyway, she didn’t put the gate up very well, and I got out and spent my day sleeping on my favorite spot on the living room carpet. I was a good boy and did not mess up anything! She looked surprised when I greeted her at the front door…
Dec. 17 – Mom put up this really big green thing in the living room. It has lights all over it, and she’s putting balls on it. Why can’t I play with those balls? I really had a fit and started barking at this big round spool on the rug. When she pulled a long gold ribbon from the spool to put it on the big green thing, the spool moved, and made a funny noise! I barked and barked at it, but it wouldn’t go away!
Mom put this red velvety round rug under the green thing. I like laying on there, and I even pulled it around the room. I wonder why Mom took it away now?
Dec. 19 - I really like my new house, and I love my Mom. She loves me, too, but sometimes she gets a little cranky when I lick her face and the clock says “2:33AM”. Sorry Mom, but I had to go! She always gives me a treat when I “go” at the right spot. She says “no” when I make a mistake. I’m still learning – she has a lot of patience.
Dec. 20 - I can’t wait to meet my new brother, Jared. I heard he’s coming home from Atlanta for Christmas. I want to show him all of my tricks, like chasing toys and chewing slippers. I also want to show him how I can run like crazy in the snow! I’m going to wake him up early in the morning so we can play all day!
I have to go now – Mom is making something that smells really yummy! If I beg and make sad eyes, maybe she’ll give me some to eat!

huggy and snuggly
Snuggles has been much more snuggly lately. Don't get me wrong - he's still a bundle of energy, but it seems like he calms down when he is hugged, petted, kissed and snuggled. He eats up the attention! Let's see...what did he chew this week? the remote control to the air conditioner, the button from the top of his baseball hat, the arm of a chair, a spoon that he jumped up and pulled off the table, and his bottle toy.
He loves wearing his baseball cap. He holds his head high, and says "look at me!"

You're putting me in the water? Why? I hate this! I HATE THIS! I WANT TO GET OUT! Let me shake, let me shake., let me run and run. I just want to shake it off!
You're PUTTING ME IN THE CRATE! WHY? I LOVE THIS DAY - MOM, YOU'RE HOME! PLEASE DON'T PUT ME IN THE CRATE!!!

first day of spring?
I thought the first day of spring was supposed to be beautiful, warm, sunny quiet day. Well, not with a male puppy in the house! For whatever reason, SPRING FEVER HAS HIT SNUGGLES! This dog is wild today! Constantly whining and crying to go out! Wants to run and run and run! I gave him a bath at noon time, thinking that would calm him down a little. He continued to drive me nuts, so I put him in the crate and went to the grocery store and to do errands.
Three hours later, I came home, and he had p---- in the crate! All over himself, and his clean little body! So back in for another bath, and I put him right outside to shake it off! He went straight for the dirt and grass - digging and rolling til he was mud city!
Third bath - and I held him in a towel until he stopped shaking. He looked so cute! I let him down - no more going outside tonight unless it's to p--. He's now ripping around the house with his hedgehog toy!

Mom came home with 2 friends on Saturday night. Her face was big and puffy! Her friends made her sit down and eat soup and drink tea. Of course, I had to entertain her friends and crawl up on them! Greg liked me OK - but Kathy didn't want me to crawl up and kiss her. She's nice, but just doesn't like puppy kisses!
Greg played lots of games with me - he likes to trick me by pretending to throw the bone! But I soon caught on to his tricks! I waited til he actually THREW the bone before I ran to get it!
Mom looks funny now with a purple eye. I tried to make it better, but it's not working. So I'll be a good puppy and not trick her too much.
Love you, mom. Snugs
