A Big New Toy!

Me and mommie went to a place called the airport and picked up my best toy yet. My Dad. We have played and played and played. I really am looking forward to the "sleepy time" tonight. I have never played so much. He bought me some new toys and something called a raw hide. I can chew and chew and not get into trouble. Where was this thing when I had the urge to chew and chewed the coffee table. I really got into trouble for that.

With my dad and I doing some playtime, my mommie said that this is her first bath in peace since I got here. I don't understand. I don't like my baths and I am just protecting her from that horrible fate.

Tomorrow is something called Turkey Day. I am told there is this wonderful meal I get to eat on Turkey days. I just can't wait. If it is anything like this "raw hide" then lets go to the airport and pick up my daddy every day.

Two and a wake up until Black Friday.

Well Friday is fast approaching and I am looking forward to seeing my new home. I hear Miss Saffron is a bit apprehensive to see me since I am bigger than her. Well I am sure once she meets me I will be nothing but a chew toy for her. I have grown a bit since my last post so I will include a picture in this entry. Hopefully my new sister will take a look as see that I am not that big.

My new Mom and Dad are traveling a long way to get me and they are worried about the weather. Well I was born in the lake effect snow region of Pennsylvania and we are well suited for it. I even hear my dad has reserved hotels up and down the route just in case the weather gets bad. We shall see what old man winter dishes out.

I will send out a note and let everyone know how my big car ride and hotel stay went and most importantly tell you about my new sister. I can't wait.

A New Brother

A NEW BROTHER??? I am not sure how I will like that. I am enjoying all the attention my mom is giving me now, and I think that will change when Nigell arrives.
Today my mom is taking me to something called a Vet. Not sure what that is, but mom tells me it will make my rash go away. I think I am allergic to the grass. Grass is not much of a problem here in Canada because we only see grass for about 2 months out of the year.
I had lots of fun at the park yesterday. Everyone thought I was so cute with my pink sweater and little coat on. I was so tired last night that I slept for 8 hours straight. Mom tells me we are doing that again today so tonight she can catch up on some much needed rest.
Time for my nap now.

No more Team Estrogen!

Hi, I am Nigella. Me and my dad are here to even out the sexes in this family with two of each. I am such a big boy at 12 weeks old today. Soon I will have this potty training thing down.

I was born close to Phil the famous Groundhog. I hear my Mom and Dad have went to see Phil a few times in the past. I am not old enough to see the world famous prognosticator. Maybe when I get older.

I am still with my bio parents because my new Mom and Dad come and get me on Black Friday!!! Very fitting for a Black Shar-Pei.

I looked at the BLOG and saw my new friend Saffron. She looks like I will never get a moments rest. From what I hear she is already ruling the house. When I get there I will have to be extra good and show her how its done. I also have to talk to my folks and get the name changed on the Blog. Nigella? Sounds like they were expecting a girl. I will just have to silence the a on the end.

Well I wanted to just introduce myself and post as soon as I could so Miss Saffron did not think this Blog was all hers.

My New Home

I am very happy in my new house in Canada. So many things for me to smell and chew. My mom calls me a Piranha Puppy. Not sure what that means.
Tomorrow my mom said we are going to a park and I will meet lots of new friends. I hope this park thing has lots of toys for me to chew on. I hope it is close to my house because I can only stay awake for about an hour, and then I like to sleep on my mom's bed on her pillow, or on her feet.
I guess I am keeping mom busy because she is always running after me. I like to do laps around the house so I can burn off some excess energy, but she won't let me go up and down the stairs by myself. I am 7 weeks old and I think I can do stairs by myself.
I was very busy today. I took all my toys out of my bed and put them around the house so no matter where I am, I will have a toy to play with. Mom won't let me have any toys on our big bed because she told me that is for sleeping only.
I am very tired now and need to take a nap. I will write more after I know what a park is.

Three more states and Canada.

I came to Virginia earlier than expected. I had the chance to see my new Mom and Dad earlier so I took it. A nice flight attendant named Rose accompanied me on my first plane ride yesterday. Wow, that was something. It was long and noisy. I was glad to see my Dad waiting for me at the gate.

We did some bonding before he took me to see this Dr. Jones fellow. I don't know what to make of him and his white coat. He stuck me with things. I am not sure but I get the feeling I may be seeing him again.

Today I had to get up REAL early. I was just getting used to the Arizona time and now my Dad made me get up at 4:00am. He said we were going to meet my Mom and we had to drive a long way. I said fine as long as I can sleep along the way.

On the long trip I got to see Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York. In Pennsylvania while on a chow break my dad took me to this pile of stuff that was white and cold. He called it Snow. I am pretty sure we don't have this stuff in San Diego and Phoenix. He told me I had better get used to it. I don't know what he meant by that.

The biggest news today is I got to met my MOM! She is the coolest! I wagged my tail so much I thought it would fall off. She even took me shopping at PETCO. I like that place. We picked out sweaters and things which my Mom said would keep me warm from that white stuff my Dad showed me.

I also got to ride in the front seat of my Mom's truck. She took me across this big thing over the water then we were in a new place called Canada. We drove some more then got out at a house that is different than last nights place. My Mom said this was my new home for a while. As long as she is there I don't care what she calls it.

All-in-all this day started out early but I got to meet my new Mom. She also acted like this was a special day for her also.

Saffron and Nigella's Blog

I better get my mug on here before Nigella is born. This is the only time I will have anything to myself. Once she is here I will never get top billing.

I know I am cute. Why do you think I was able to scoop up such a good Mom and Dad. They are already out buying me things before I even get there.

My Dad picks me up from my Phoenix flight on the 10th. I will not even be 8 weeks old when I have had my first plane ride and traveled to three states. I am thinking with three states already under my paws that I might as well try for all fifty. I might even try for a country of two.

Well it is time for some more kibbles and a nap. A girl has to have her beauty sleep.
