Yes, furiends, I am a dog with certain sensitivities, with compassion, and empathy.  Mom & I sat on the couch curled up next to Human Mom while she watched The Help for the 3rd time.  And yes I watched too.  I can certainly appreciate the good and the bad when it comes to women's issues, or those of race, family, and the struggles of a society that continues to contend with gender bias and other awful discrimination.  So many problems, no simple solutions.
Join me in wishing my human brother a speedy recovery, his heart is struggling to overcome a loss of sorts. Luv u J, think peace!

Dogs Are Smart

Hello!  

Dogs are smart!

We have a little snow here, and I LOVE running around, then when I get cold,

I run right up to the door.  Tonight, even though it was dark, I still ran & ran, 'cause I love it!

Then I played a trick on Mom (Beanie & human mom!).

I ran up to them & poked Human Mom on her knee, then real quiet & stealth-like,

I ran!

I ran to a dark corner of the yard.

I heard mom ask, "Where's Duncan?"

I heard her ask a few times!

Then I felt bad she couldn't see me, & I ran right up to her! Ha! She figured out it was

me that poked her.  I was playing tag!  And she was it!

We laughed & laughed at how silly I was!

I won that round BOL!

Getting Ready for Christmas

The tree is ready, the gifts are wrapped (almost!), the time is near...wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a healthy new year to you and yours!

Westie Yoga

Mom always starts her day on a healthy note!  She goes through her favorite yoga positions and then she is ready to face the day. She is so flexible!  Yay Beanie!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends, near and far!  This year, I am thankful my mom came to live with us.  She has shown me that being together as a family is more important than treats and playing in the leaves. She fits right in and everyone here loves her! And they love me too ;-)!!

Do you have any favorite recipes you are making this year?  Mom was thinking of making macaroons, but now that plan was scrapped.  She may make a quiche for breakfast (yum, eggs & cheese, can't go wrong!)

What's on the menu this year?

Haha, mom wanted me to show you that I too ring a bell to go out!  The first part of this short video is WAY boring, but I do listen & ring the bells.  You can see the scratches on the door, as I ring the bells every day.  Several times a day...

Hello, furiends!  I managed to hoard a bag of treats the other day, mom saw me drag it across the floor, hide it under the desk, and plop down in front of it so no one could even see it. I'd grumble just to make sure no one got too close. Of course, mom doesn't eat dog treats (mom Beanie does!), so she wasn't too concerned.  Then I fell asleep in my bed (2 feet away). Human mom said, "Hmmm, what were you hoarding, Duncan?" And she found them! And she laughed at me!  And gave us both a treat just for me being a smart-**s. BOL!
