What's a dog to do?

So, it's about time I got some pictures up here of my fence. I first learned that I could jump over it when I was about 7 months old. Sienna went for a walk with Rome; but, she forgot me! I ran around the backyard frantic for about 5 minutes, then I just decided to go for it. What do you know? I went right over it!! I thought this was so cool! Sienna asked Todd to go out back and see if there was a hole, or a missing picket in the fence; so, I showed him what I learned. I looked at him, ran over to it, jumped up on top of it, then back down. He thought it was pretty cool the first time; then, for some reason, he actually got a little upset! It's not like I stood there and cried until he lifted me over. All I need is my own two back legs! He's got this crazy Idea to build a Kennel out there so I can't do it anymore. I don't always jump over it now that I know it makes them mad; but, sometimes they just forget that I'm all alone back here. All of my friends are out front, and I'm out back. I have no choice! It seems like everytime that I find something I'm really good at, they take it away. What's a dog to do?

What's his is mine!!

Todd and Sienna tell me all the time to watch out for Rome and I'm way careful! I've never hurt him even when I get really excited to see my friends come over. But who ever said that I can't steal his toys? (...beside them?) I'm pretty good for the most part, but this one was just too irresistible. Look! It has my name all over it.

Oh and I over heard Sienna telling Todd on Sunday, that she had put Rome and his binky down on his blanket in the living room but when she went to pick him up, the binky was nowhere to be found. She swore to him she thought she thought it was me. (Dang, she's on to me!) He defended me and said it wasn't. (ha ha! Tricked him!!) But she found it today out on the grass and was pretty mad! (should've buried it in my tunnel!) Needless to say, what's his is mine. Even if they don't agree. I'm just learning to be sneakier!!

I'm considering taking this up as a career!

So... Todd has definately set his mind against me. I've tried 3 times to get this tunnel project of mine going in the yard. Well, he buried it all up again! He brought in 3 wheel barrows full of dirt the first time. He didn't even get the soft sand that I originally dug up; he got topsoil. So I had to tunnel through that. He only let me get one day's worth of digging in before he was out there filling it up again. He even covered it with sod. Well, that was in the way; so, I dug through it. I thought maybe he just didn't like the direction I was heading in; so, I went the other way. Nope, he filled it up again! Can you believe this guy?! This time, he got some grass seed and spread that out over my tunnel. At least he kept it nice and wet for me so It was easy to dig up again. Do you know anyone who's looking for a great excavating dog? I'm considering taking this up as a career!

Oh yeah! Here's my other tunnel in the window sill. I don't think they can even see how deep this one is; so they don't know how much dirt to bring in this time. This one's in a better location, it's under the steps on the patio. I'm the only one that can get in to it; so, I've gotten some good work in. Let's see how far I can get before they stop me! Who wants chinese food?!

I'm getting pretty good at this.

Well... Last time was okay; but, this time I think I've got it. So, for father's day, I thought I'd re-do the Home Theater Sytem wiring again for Todd. He didn't appreciate it; but, It was so much better this time around. I got the wiring for both of the rear satellite speakers and chewed out the extra wire. I've been told that they'll sound better with shorter distances; so, I still don't understand what he's so upset about. One day he'll appreciate it, after all, I'm getting pretty good at this!
