Hello Spring?

Sorry for the complete lack of posts for all of April.
My camera is kind of busted and I can't really take pictures.
Mama is going to buy me a DSLR as soon as she's done school.

Well, the end of April leads to many things:
1. Taxes deadline in Canada
2. Cinco de Mayo in Mexico
3. Golden Week in Japan
4. Mother's Day is May 11
5. April showers bring May flowers
except with this chilly weather your flowers might die.

On a different note, I've been happily dragging Mama
around the neighbourhood in search of new smells now that
the sun is out again. It is a bit chilly these past few days
but it's not snowing, so I won't complain.
I've met some new neighbourhood dogs,
some I like, others not so much.
I met this boy bulldog over the weekend,
his head was twice as big as mine
and his face looked like a cabbage!
He was so out of proportion!
His big cabbage head was on top
of his tall skinny body. What a freak show.

Spring Saturday Surprise

Mama brought me to meet a couple of new friends,
people friends and dog friends:
The bully in the picture is named Norm, he's pretty cool,
his Mom is Miss JMo and she hosted a fabulous lunch and
organized the dog get-together. I also met Miss Michelle
who has a dog but didn't bring him. And I met

Auntie CET again, and her dog Chili.

I know Mama was hoping that I would
behave myself around the new dogs.
But truth is, I like being a bitch. I don't know why.
I got into a few arguments with Norm, and we tussled.
I'm sorry Norm, I'll try to be a nice girl next time.
But no promises.

Chili is a Westie, and he loves to sniff bums.
I think he was trying hard to get me to play with him,
but you know me, I'm a little too into myself to want to play
with other dogs. He did get a bit bitey when I went over
to see if I could get a piece of the biscuit he was waiting for.

Mama said I was embarrassing her the whole time,
because I don't know how to act like a normal dog.
I can't help it if I'm totally selfish with anger management issues.
I think I'm very much like supermodel Naomi Campbell.

Thank you Miss JMo and Mr M for hosting what
should have been a lovelier afternoon of a dog party
if I had behaved like a good girl and not like my usual self.
Mama apologizes for the crappy turnout of the photos,
juggling me and a camera that doesn't work is not easy.

That Sure Didn't Take Long...

It's happened, I reluctantly went into the crate to fetch Bear.
Mama: 1 / Aiko: 0.
But then she put in a nice comfy blanky for me,
and I immediately barfed on it when I went back into the crate.
Mama: 1 / Aiko: 1.

Yata!

UPDATE: I got my peanut butter filled Kong
Mama tried to use to entice me into the new crate!
(Btw, I have no idea why this is all underlined)

Yup that's my head in the crate savouring the Kong.

I didn't actually have to go inside to get it!
I grabbed my blanky with my teeth and pulled it out
of the crate, and at the same time,
out came the Kong!!

I don't even need to be inside the crate to enjoy it!

Haha Mama, I fooled you!
I'm much more clever than you think I am!

This Again...

Something big came for me again in the mail,
maybe Auntie Angela and Uncle Andy are in there...
maybe they even brought Kunou!

Ok there is a Live Animals sticker...
I know they can't be referring to me.

Oh it's a crate. And it smells like plastic.
I don't like where this is going.

Mama tried to make it all friendly and a lot
less scary for me with my blanky and some toys.
There's even a Kong with peanut butter in there.

This must be an April Fool's joke, because
she's got to be crazy thinking I'm actually going to get in there.
