Christmas and New Year and Shots

Merry Belated Christmas everyone!

I had a great Christmas with my family. They got presents for me and put them under the tree, and I knew which ones were mine right away. I was going to open them by myself on Christmas Eve, but my humans put my presents up on the table so I couldn't reach them.

On Christmas my humans opened a lot of presents, and then they finally let me open mine. I got two squeaky toys and a bunch of treats! Just what I wanted.

My humans keep telling me that today is the first day of "2011." I don't know what they mean. 2011 is just a number. They stayed up until midnight last night just to shout "Happy new year!" Sometimes humans really confuse me.

I had to go to the vet a couple days ago. I don't like the vet very much. He seems to really enjoy poking me and prying my mouth open and doing all these other really uncomfortable things. He stuck a couple of needles into me this time that made me really sore. Yesterday I couldn't jump off the bed and it was really hard to lie down and stand up. I feel better today, though. I just hope the vet gets arrested for being insane.

Sorry about Squirt

Sorry about Squirt's last post. I just changed my password, so you won't have to put up with him any longer. Sometimes that ferret really gets on my nerves.

Anyway, I haven't posted in a while because I haven't gotten a chance to get on the computer without my humans noticing. But I think I'll be able to post more over the next couple of months. Bye for now!!

Hello

Hi people. This is Squirt. Me George's ferret friend. Well I don't know if George thinks I his friend, but I like him anyway. I found George's password to blog. I noticed George has not posted for while, so me post for him. I wish that I could see George more often. He make funny sounds. But humans say George dangerous for me. I don't see why. I invincible. Humans always telling me not to jump off bed cause it dangerous and not to chew on wires cause it dangerous. But nothing can hurt me. They do not understand me. Humans fun to play with, though, when they not annoying you.

Uh, oh, George coming and he look mad. Goodbye.  

Halloween

Tonight we went on a really strange walk in the dark. The kids kept telling me that we were going "trick-or-treating." I thought they were going to give me a treat, but they didn't. The kids dressed up in strange costumes and put me in my jacket for the walk. And every time we came to a house, they knocked on the door, said something, and then got candy! When we got home they spread out their huge piles of candy on the floor. My mommy gave me some dog safe chocolate, but the kids got WAY more than me. One of the kids held a lollipop at her side for a minute and I got a few licks, but then I tried to take it out of her hand and she took it back. But she has so much candy already! I think I might sue the kids. It's not fair they got so much.

My tortilla and corn

I managed to grab a tortilla and an old cob of corn out of the trash. I hid the corn in the kids' closet and the tortilla behind the couch. Unfortunately, my humans found them both and put them right back where I found them. I need some better hiding places... 

Squirt

The ferret (my humans are calling it "Squirt") is still living in the cage. I can't understand why my humans would want to keep a ferret. Why don't they just eat it already? And here's something that's even weirder: when I growl at Squirt, my humans get all mad at me! What am I supposed to do? Just ignore it? But it's a FERRET!

It's all very confusing. If I didn't know any better I would think that my humans actually like Squirt.

The "Ferret"

Something wierd is going on... just what I'm not sure. My humans brought home some kind of animal and put it in the cage that they got a few months ago. I still can't figure out exactly what it is, but my humans call it a "ferret" and they seem to absolutely adore it. The cage is up on a table so I haven't gotten a really good look at it, but it smells funny....

Well, I'll let you know what happens!

Costumes

The kids are forever dressing me up in wierd looking, uncomfortable costumes. Don't ask me WHY they do it, but I suppose it's a human thing.

Here's some pictures they took of me in my costumes:

The Trash Can

There is one thing in life that puzzles me more than anything else: THE TRASH CAN!!

Every day, my humans put a ton of food, wrappers, and other yummy stuff in the trash can. And then the next day it mysteriously dissapears. But WHY would they put perfectly good food in the trash can? Maybe some of it's moldy or old, but does that really matter? I would gladly eat it for them if they don't want it.

Whenever I try to eat something from the trash can, my humans get all mad at me. I just don't understand it. They're obviously not planning to eat it.

Well, I suppose that's just another one of the mysterious habits of humans.    

Vacation

I found out what my humans do while I get babysat!! Here's what happened:

My humans brought out the suitcases a couple of nights ago. I knew that could only mean one thing. I was going to get babysat again ... or so I thought. Turns out I was completely wrong.

The next morning my humans did the usual vacation stuff-- they brought their suitcases to the car, turned off all of the lights in the house and closed the doors. And then came the dreaded moment. They opened the door, walked through it and... "Come on, George!!" I was completely stunned. I couldn't believe it. I was going to go with them! They led me to the car, and I hopped in. Then we drove for a VERY long time. We stopped every once in a while to get out and stretch, but we were still in the car for long stretches of time. My humans found out that I have a fear of driving over bridges. They just make me so nervous!!

I don't know exactly how long we drove, but we finally reached our destination-- some little town. We went into a big building and climbed some stairs. Then my humans led me down a long hall with lots of doors. They stopped at one door, unlocked it, opened it, and I found myself in a little room with two beds, a bathroom, a desk, chairs... it was like a whole house squished into one room! We met some nice people (the kids say that they were their uncle and aunt), and then we slept in the room.

The next day we drove to another town. My humans left me in the car for a while. After that we all went hiking at some "historic site" in the mountains. There were so many jackrabbits there! I wanted to chase them so badly, but my humans had other ideas. They really need to let me go hunting. I don't know where my humans even get their food right now, because they definately do not hunt. Anyways, after that we drove for another really long time and we reached home again!

So that's what my humans do while I get babysat. I really don't see any point in it, but humans will do what humans will do. And at least they didn't leave me home this time!

Better Breakfast Month!!

September is BETTER BREAKFAST MONTH and I am really excited!!!! I mean, it would be unjust for my humans not to give me better breakfasts during better breakfast month, wouldn't it? Of course it would! And it's not like it would be bad for me or anything. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! I'm looking forward to a whole month of sausages, waffles, pancakes, cereal, eggs-- oh, I wish it was September all year!

Busted!!!

A couple of weeks ago I stole two nachos and hid them in the closet. My humans didn't notice for a long time and I probably would have gotten away with it if I hadn't kept going back to the closet to check on them. But I was so afraid that somebody stole my nachos, I just HAD to check on them!! Okay, so they were stolen nachos in the first place, but finders keepers. And my humans had SO many nachos, I figued they wouldn't really mind if I took two of them.

So, anyways, after a while I relaxed my guard, because nobody had stolen my prize nachos. But when I went to the closet today, they were gone!!!

... and my mommy's scent was all over the place.

Another Birthday Party!!!

The kids had another birthday party and I got lots of cake! And that night they brought out the sleeping bags and I got to sleep on one!!

I hope we are going to have lots more birthday parties soon!

Babysat once again

I got babysat again. This time my humans were gone even longer than before! Thankfully that girl came over to feed me every day.  And my humans came back eventually (and they had some really interesting smells on them...)

Pictures!!

Here are some new pictures of me!

Thanks to Ducky4 for taking my picture!

Birthday Party

Yesterday one of the kids had what she called a "birthday party." The kids' friend came over and they had cake and pizza and played lots of games. It looked like they were having a lot of fun. And the best part-- I got a little bit of the cake!

The kids said that my birthday is on December 9th. I hope they make me a cake on my birthday!

Oh, and last night one of the kids let me sleep on her bed!!! It was so fluffly and cozy. I hope she lets me sleep on it tonight, too!

One Mystery Solved ... One to Go!

I found out why my humans moved everything out of the kids' room! They were just rearanging it (and changing the wall color while they were at it.) Whew! That's a relief. Sometimes humans act so... strange. They always seem to want to change things. But I'll admit that the kids' room looks pretty good.

Now, about the other mystery...

So, like I said before, the kids brought home some really weird stuff one day. It smelled like some kind of animal. And now, look what the kids put in their room!

It looks like some kind of cage. The strange thing is, there's no animal in it. But it smells like an animal, and my nose is never wrong!

Weird stuff

There seems to be no end to the strange things that have been happening lately.

It started out gradually. The kids and my mom had been spending more time in the kids' room. They seemed to be sorting through things-- putting some stuff in boxes, and bringing other stuff to different rooms. And then, one day, they started moving furniture. The huge bunk bed was taken apart so now it's two beds. The shelves were taken off the wall.

That night, the kids brought out these fluffy things they called 'sleeping bags.' Instead of sleeping in their room like they normally do, they put their sleeping bags on the floor in another room and slept in them! I even got to sleep on the sleeping bags with them! That was so fun. I hope they start sleeping in their sleeping bags every night.

And today they've been busier than ever. I don't even know what they're doing, but somehow they're turning the wall pink! Creepy...

Well, I don't know what my humans are trying to do, but it's something big, I can tell you that much.

A strange smell

Yesterday, my humans were gone for a long time. When the finally came back, they brought a bunch of... stuff.  I don't really know what most of it is. But it sure smells strange. It smells like something furry, an animal of some sort. I've smelled squirrels, birds, mice, rats, dogs, cats, deer and horses, but this smell is different than any of those. I just can't figure out exactly what it is! Well, something strange is going on, I know that.

I'll have to keep my eyes (and my nose) peeled. I'll let you know if I find out anything else!

The 4th of July

Last night was kind of... well, odd. I think there was a big war or something, because I heard all of these bombs exploding. And something really strange happened when my humans took me outside. My dad walked forward and bent down to the ground. I think he was trying to disarm a bomb before it exploded. All of the sudden he started running towards us. And then there was some kind of explosion. There were sparks flying everywhere! Then there was a really loud whistling sound. My humans, surprisingly, didn't seem nearly as worried as I was. I think they were pretending to be calm so I wouldn't get scared. They took me inside after that. I was afraid they were going to get blown up out there, but thankfully they came back safe and sound.

The really wierd part is that everything seems back to normal today. I think that was the shortest war in all of history! Either that... or it's not over yet. I'm going to have to watch out for explosions for the next few days.
