He's back!!!

Up until recently the Kid really didn't like me much. I'm not sure why....I only went in his room and ate his Halloween candy when I got a chance. No big deal, right? Chewed up some of his shoes, hats and clothes. I didn't think he wanted them if they were on the floor! Geez...some people.

Well, I was able to charm his friends! They all LOOOVE me! Ian, Preston, Jacob, they all think I'm the "coolest dog" ever! I always come and greet them when they come over and we have a good time.
Well finally the Kid started liking me. I guess girls must like dogs, so maybe that's it. He actually told Mom one time to bring me along when I picked him up from band practice, because I'm "cool".
The Kid was gone last week, so it was just me and Mom all week. I mean that's ok, cuz she takes me on some long walks, which I love. BUT after a few days, I just couldn't eat because I was so bummed out that the Kid was gone.
Mom actually thought I was sick because I just laid there and sighed. I just couldn't eat until the Kid came back. Yesterday she even took me to McDonald's for a big burger thing!! It was great.

So last night, he came back!!! Yay! I'm so happy. Now things are back to normal.
PS.. I think I'm gonna be the Lakeshore Marching Band Mascot! heehee

I love my little friends!

Yesterday, I was napping and mom was sitting next to me, enjoying a beautiful day with the doors and windows open.
Suddenly we heard little voices outside calling "Howard! Howard, come out to play!"
So I jumped up and ran out there, it was my little friends! I have lots of little kids who like to come and hug me. They are shorter than me so I am very gentle with them.
It made me feel good. Then they went away, as they walked to their friends through our yard.
Sigh.

Fireworks!

Hey dudes.

Last night the guy across the street was making so much noise, it was making me crazy! There was a loud boom! then lots of lights and stars in the sky!

I was running around like crazy, then I thought maybe if I barked and growled they would
Finally, they did.

It is so hard keeping the neighborhood peaceful and protecting my family.
What do you do when those strange people put the lights in the sky?

Oh, and Happy Fourth of July!

Love and slobber,
Howard
