Where's The Treat ?!?

Dear Diary... Where's the treat ?!?...Seriously... I did everything that was asked of me and then some...No treat...I even smiled my best smile...No treat...I saw what was happening...a new human treat was brought into the house...they were all enjoying it...some kind of "chip"...I overheard that it was supposed to be good for them and more nutritious...Okay...Getting a sample from Larry is a piece of "cake"...( something else that is seriously lacking in this house )...Larry will share with me as long as he thinks no one is watching him...I'm telling you  human treats are wwwaaaayyyy better than any so called treats for dogs...not fair !!!...These things are real tasty ...so I decided to see if just maybe Ashley would break the rules and share with me...(Deb...no chance...she's a tough one...)...I gave Ashley the best puppy look I could muster and she reached for the chip bag...she asked me to "sit"...I did...she asked me to "shake"...I did..".beg"..yep..."lay down"...got it...I even "smiled" when I did the tricks...so...where's the treat ???... Oh...there it is...one lousy chip ...all that for one chip...and a broken one at that...I'm not stupid...I know a whole chip from a piece of one... and guess what ???...that's all I got too...Debbie was standing right there...I couldn't help but notice that everyone...but me...had to have one more before the bag was mysterious whisked away...Where's the justice in all this ???   WonderDogs have rights too...I did as I was told...I really feel it was a good enough performance to be awarded the remainder of the bag...But sadly...no...I could appeal to a higher court...Thinking it over...Love...Lucey the WonderDog...P S ... I'm fairly certain the the judge in the case will be Maggie... so I lose...I've heard many times that "Tuna Breath" runs the house...

WonderDogs Have Bucket Lists Too...

Dear Diary...WonderDogs have buckets lists too...You wouldn't think that a dog would have dreams of adventure and thrills...especially one like me who just has ...well... EVERYTHING...but I do... I dream of chasing bicycles and squirrels...or being allowed to empty every trashcan in a four block radius...a big dream is being able to jump in the bathtub and eat all of Her Royal Highness Maggie's food...or being allowed to sleep on the humans fluffy bed with all the pillows and blankets...Yep... we dream...we really do...but yesterday I got to mark one of those dreams of mine off the list...it happened so quick too...so fast Larry didn't have a chance to stop it...I got to meet one of those delivery guys who dare step on my porch...this one drives a big truck and brings packages that always  make the humans in this house happy...I honestly thought that maybe he was Santa Claus...but no... Debbie calls him the UPS man ... He brought one of those packages yesterday and as Larry opened the door to get it I ran out !!!... Gosh he's a real nice guy !!!...I went all the way out to his truck with him while Larry yelled at me to come back...Good grief...I heard ya...Gimme a break ... I figured I might as well get a look at the truck while I could...Let me tell you it would be the ultimate in a "shotgun ride"...but...I  was a good WonderDog and came back to Larry and into the house... the UPS man just smiled at me ...got back in his truck and drove on... Debbie asked right away if I was good to the man and Larry said that I didn't growl or anything... I kinda like this guy...Now that doesn't mean that I won't bark at him again...I will...but that bark won't be because he's on my porch it will be so I can get the chance to cross another adventure off my list...A RIDE IN THE BIG BROWN TRUCK !!!...Until next time...Love ...Lucey the WonderDog...P S ... I wonder if the brown truck delivers dog treats and toys ... Hint...Hint...

Larry's Home !!!

Dear Diary...It's my favorite time of day...the best time...Larry's home !!!...I'm always happy to see anyone who comes to my house but my human family is the greatest...I love when Debbie comes home because she calls me "her dog" and tells me how "good" I am even when I haven't been ...(she's been known to take care of whatever mischief I've been into and never tell on me) ...and Ashley and Remy are fun too...Remy plays with me and is always willing to take me for a walk no matter what the time of day or night...and Ashley ...well...she doesn't fool me a bit ...she always acts like she doesn't really care but I know she does...most of the time she's my "defender"...but Larry...THAT'S THE BEST !!!... I run to find just the right toy to give him ...sometimes it takes three or four attempts  to get  the perfect one... then I get my blanket to offer to him too...I even go to the stairs to announce to HRH Maggie that Larry is here...I have yet to get a reaction from that cat...she just gives me "the stare" and walks away... (I honestly don't see what Debbie sees in that fur ball but there's little I can do about it...).. .Larry feeds me when he gets here...Debbie has told me that this is so I leave him alone while HE'S eating but I'd like to think it's because he loves me...I used to be able to get two suppers around here until they figured out that both of them were feeding me...now Deb waits until Larry gets here...I  can see that maybe you think that it's the food factor that I love Larry for but that's not it...I've loved him from the first day I saw him...He's the one who got me for Debbie ...he drove all the way to a place called Toledo just to get me...( I know that it's a long trip because there was talk that I might be Michigan dog because they drove so far away ...but thankfully they found me before they crossed the state line)...and he had all sorts of toys and treats for me BEFORE he ever saw me...he took me for a walk on that trip too and let me ride in the front seat of the truck on the way home...My first shotgun ride in a truck !!!...I've never forgotten that ...so ...every night I run to tell Maggie and get my blanket and a toy because I love him right back !!!...Always feeling thankful...Love...Lucey the WonderDog

He Says I Was Distracted...

Dear Diary...He says I was distracted...Larry said it...Distracted ???...I think not...I'll start at the beginning...Larry is the one who takes me out for my first morning stroll...A couple of days ago he took me outside as usual and just as I was about to do ...well...what I do out there...a rabbit had the nerve to come into MY yard and check out the property ...MY YARD !!!...well being the great WonderDog that I am I had to make sure that that bunny knew who was in charge around here...can I help it if I lost my train of thought and had to be told why Larry brought me out there ???...not my fault...and then just as I was about to resume my activity a cat decided to join the party...I'm fairly certain that it was one of Maggie's buddies that partys here when the humans are gone... I've tried to talk to HRH  Maggie about these "drifters" but she won't  listen to me... Again I had to be reminded what my mission outside was... When we got back in the house Larry said that he wasn't sure just what I had done out there because of the "distractions"... that only leads to Debbie waking me up later to go back outside before she leaves for the day...stupid rabbit...darn cat...troublemakers ... again...distracted ???...NO...my fault ???...NO... I've lived in this neighborhood for many years now and I've made it clear from the first day that this is WonderDog Country... My property...My rules... Jeepers...whats so difficult about that ??? That's not "distraction"...that's protecting my space... Feeling the need to go outside just from thinking about it ...Love...Lucey the WonderDog  P S  ... Don't get me wrong ...I love humans...I just have a problem with other furry creatures...especially the ones that I see Debbie paying attention to ... and speaking of that...I've seen an unusually high amount of cat hair on Deb lately...my competition is up to no good...
