New Dog Walker

I told you before that mom is expecting a baby and even though she enjoys walking me a lot, Master told her she had  to stop walking me.

Is not that she can't walk me, but with the Polar Vortex here in Chicago, it is just too icy and dangerous for her to be out there.

Walking with master.

I mean, there was this one night when she fell, but fortunately she landed on her knees. From that night on, my new dog walker is my master.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my walks with master - especially during the summer -  but mom has me on a schedule and I always go out on the dot. With master, I have to wait until he wants to go out, and sometimes that's not as early or on time as my walks with mom.

Mom says she tries not to remind master what I need to go out, but she is always pointing it out to him.

Here I am waiting on master to take me out.

As soon as there is no snow I will venture outside with mom again, I hope her big belly is not slowing her down. I like to run on my walks and to go far, and if mom can't keep up with me that will be a bummer.

I Don't Like Bubbles

Who would have thought that this tough guy is scared of Bubbles? Well, even though I portray this mean, menacing dog, a lot of things scare me.

Hiding from the bubbles.

Mom thought that bubbles would be something I would want to explore, so she started blowing bubbles in the living room. As soon as I saw those mysterious orbits I took cover under a chair.

You never know how those see-through, soapy things can react. What if they attack you?

I mean, they got on top of all my toys and blanket and then they just vanished. How do I know they won't pop up again when I least expect them?

Here I am trying not to be scared, but I really was.

I told mom to stop inviting those bubbles in the living room. I just don't trust them.

Ready for the Polar Vortex 2014

Not sure if you have been following the news, but Chicago has been hit with an awful polar vortex that has us all locked inside our homes.

School and airports have been closed - not that this affect me - but trying to walk and do my business in -30 weather is just impossible.

Here I am with my new winter coat and martingale collar. Don't I look better in this coat? The color totally matches my Jedi counter part and I no longer look like a stuffed sausage.

The coat might be protecting me from the cold Chicago winter, but I still refuse to go outside. I think I can hold my pee until Spring comes.

I've been looking online for tropical climate cities and I'm going to force mom into moving somewhere else. Maybe if I wait for the baby to come I will have an extra vote on my side and we will relocate to Hawaii, Cartagena or why not Jamaica.

Anyway, I wanted to show off my new martingale collar as well, so here is a better picture of me modeling it.

You can't really see it, but rest assured it is beautiful and super comfortable.

New Winter Coat

Today we went to Cody & Carl's Blvd. to go shopping. This dog boutique is amazing. They have lots of wonderful merchandise, treats, food, collars,leashes...I was in heaven and so was mom.

At first I was too sure about the store since they put this cotton strap over my manly parts to prevent me from wanting to mark inside the store, but after I got used to the strap I was ready to explore and start shopping.

In the picture you can see me with mom right outside the shop.

I got yummy treats and the lady behind the counter was super helpful and nice to me. She even took a picture for their Facebok page.

I bought a new winter coat, a new collar, some treats, and an ointment to protect my paws from this brutal Chicago winter.

I can't wait to wear my new coat. I didn't wear it right away because mom said she wanted to wash it first. Stay tune for a picture of my new jacket.

Baby Gear Scares Me!

Mom got this light baby stroller she wants to use with me and the baby once the kid is a few months old, but I don't think I'll be going out if mom is pushing on that contraption.

She tested it inside the house but I didn't want to be near it, plus I don't appreciate Dognny being strapped to that apparatus without my permission.

Master and mom kept giving me treats for sitting and half sniffing the stroller, but all I wanted to do is free Dognny and stay away from those wheels.

I don't think strolls in the park will be in our future. Not if that thing is coming with us

My Upcoming New Guest Is Revealed!

It is official. My family of three (two humans and me the dog) is expanding. We will be four in May 2014.

I hear the new guest that mom has been prepping the house for is this tiny bundle of joy that will smell similar to mom.

People say he will bring lots of joy and happiness. Oh! Did I mention it will be a boy? Yes, it is a boy.

I think I like girls better, I LOVE mom, and nana and abuelita. I also love master, and baba and abuelito, but it really really love girls more.

Mom says she really wanted a boy, so I'm happy for her, but how is this bundle of joy going to work for me? Is he bringing me treats? Does he know I come first? Does he know that I'm the only one allowed on the furniture and on mom's bed? As long as he doesn't eat my food, take my toys or kick me, we will be good. Oh, and mom is all mine!

Once the little baby learns the house rules we will be good.

I'll tell you more once he gets here, but he can take as long as he wants to get home. I don't mind being the only child.

Can You Hear Me Now?

I don't like it when mom is on the phone. Her hands should always be on me not on anything else, unless she is fixing me food, then she is free to be away from me.

Well, here she is chatting away while I wait under my cozy Christmas gift blanket for her to be free and rub my belly.

Is it cold in your area? Chicago has been super cold lately and I don't know how much longer I can stay under blankets. Don't get me wrong, I love blankets, but I kind of miss spring a nice summer days. I want to go on super long walks and smell the grass.

Mom, are you talking to Spring or Summer? Can they hear me? When are they coming back?
