Woof everybody, Sugar the Weather Dog again.  Jack is busy doing other things, so while he is, I am going to sneak in another session at the keyboard.  I should mention in my official job as the Weather Dog for Jack's blog, the current desktop temperature is 20 degrees and according to the National Weather Service, the snow ended several hours ago.  But, the  National Weather Service is not living in this town.  Right now, the snow is coming down at a pretty good clip, and if this is light, well I'll eat my food fast tonight.  Oh yeah, I"ll do that anyway.

Mary, Jack and I went for a great walk this morning, but before we let, it took two humans to get my boots on.  I struggled some, but that is not all that unexpected.  Is it?  Later, when my paws didn't hurt, I was thankful, but the indignity of it all is almost too much.

Mary found a picture of a Pug on the web wearing the same kind of boots that I was wearing, but they were red, while mine are blue.  Jack says that the colors tell you what size they are, whatever that means.  All I know is that they look a little silly and feel weird when I walk.  But as I said, my feet were thankful.

I have included some candid pictures that I found on Jack's desktop.  They are of course, all about me.  I guess that my humans won't be going out without me tonight.  That too is as it should be, cause like I said before, I think, it is all about me.  I also included some pictures of the snow here in our town for Barb, Debbie, and Steph and Adam.  Sometimes, when you are sniffing around the desktop, you find interesting things.  I sure did.  For those of you who are interested, I think that Jack takes some good pictures, especially those that have me in them.  So, without further fanfare, here they are.  Woof.

Does the camera add extra pounds?

I like this one, but those eyes!

What is it with the eyes?

I hope the snow doesn't fall on me when I go out before dinner.

Woof.  Hi Sugar the Weather Dog again.  I just got here, cause I've been waiting for Jack to go back to bed.  Now that I am sleeping next to the bed, I have to wait for him to be sound asleep before I get up, and if you knew Jack like I do, you'd know that he rarely, if ever, sleeps soundly.  I think he thinks too much.  Wow, did I just come up with an idea?  I dunno, hopefully somebody out there does.

I bugged Mary enough this morning so that she took me out so that she and Jack could be taken for walk.  If I didn't force the issue, they'd always stay in side, at least when the weather gets cold and windy.  A dog's work is never done, or something like that.  I like walking a lot, but when it gets too cold and windy for even me, I have to suck it up and get them out.  Sometimes only Jack will go, but I do my best.

Jack and I had a nice walk, until we were nearing home.  We were coming back up that big street that goes through town and I stepped into something that burned my paw, a  lot.  Jack tried to wipe my paw, he's like that, but it didn't help.  So, fine human my pawferred human is, he picked me up and carried me for a short distance.  I hope he didn't hurt himself, but my paw was really barking.  I know that my humans got boots for me last year, and I fight them when they put them on me, but they sure do keep my paws dry and out of that stuff that that burns my paws.

Not much more this early morning.  I think Jack did something to fix the heater, cause it is warmer in here now.  I knew he'd think of something, he always does.  Did I mention that my pawferred human is one of the smartest humans I've ever known.  Plus, when he has me working as his sou chef, he is generous to a fault.  Hey, how could he resist me, his pawferred Corgle.  That's just one of my names.  I also know that I am she, her, baby, silly dog, cutest dog on the planet, etc.  The list goes on and on.  I mostly don't understand what humans are saying, but I know what I know and I am especially sensitive to emotions.  Have I mentioned that before?

Oh well, time to get back to the second most important thing in a dog's life.  Once I get that out of the way, I can get to the most important thing.  Woof.

Woof everybody.  It has been awhile since I have been to the keyboard.  I think that Mary told Jack what I was up to, so I thought it best to lay low for awhile.  I don't have much to bark about today, but a few growls from this end seem appropriate.

Mary showed Jack a column the other day in which the first dog of California was profiled. Apparently in deference to his human, the governor of California, wherever that is, that handsome kin of mine, has no "Dogma" of his own.  He does have a name, Sutter Brown, and the governor became his human when the governor's brother had to move, at least that's what I thought I heard. I have included a link to the Facebook page for the the first dog: of California.  As you can see, he and I share some very recognizable similarities.  https://www.facebook.com/SutterBrown  Gotta love that Facebook thing.

Another link to Sutter is:  http://gov.ca.gov/s_firstdog.php and also:

http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-40-most-influential-corgis-of-2012.

I totally recommend the last one.  There are just so many places to see my cousins.

Overall, I am working through some personal issues  Jack and Mary don't know what I am going through, but I do, and that's all that matters.  As long as I get fed and walked daily, everything is okay with me.

So, until I have more to bark about, I'll just say Woof to everyone.

Woof.  Hi, Sugar here.  I am just now getting to by blog, because I had to wait for Jack to get in the shower.  I think he knows about my "other life," but no sense in taking chances.  Besides, what he doesn't know, can't hurt him.

I am still not comfortable sleeping in my usual place.  I don't really know why.  Jack and Mary want to chalk it up to something abnormal, but the truth is, not even I can fully explain it, I just feel it. So, until something changes, I will continue to sleep where I please.

The last few days, I have gotten a lot of "Lap Time," in an effort to feel more comfortable.  I hear that I snore, but since I am asleep, I don't know and don't care.  It seems to amuse my humans, so I guess it is okay.

I was checking out Jack's blog earlier, and he mentioned something about spending time in the kitchen, one of my favorite places.  As you know, next to sleeping, I love cooking the best.  Well actually, I love eating more than cooking, but cooking leads to eating, so what's not to like.  I know that I will have to go out, and I do like that, but it looks windy out the Weather Window, so it may not be all that much fun.

So, I 'd best be on my way before Jack gets out of the shower and I get "caught."  So until next time, this is Sugar saying, Woof.

Woof.  Good afternoon GH.  Gosh, I am starting to sound like Jack.  I guess that isn't all bad.  Jack and I got back from our morning walk, and it was great being out in the snow.  Everything smells so fresh, and I do mean smells.

We walked downtown, where Jack tried to buy a newspaper, but the machine was jammed, as usual.  So, we walked over to our home street and got the newspaper there.  While we were on our way back, I stopped and did my business.  When we were out yesterday, the same car tried to run us over twice.  I guess when someone is in a hurry, they don't pay much attention to us walkers.

Right now, the outside temperature is cool, but nice as far as this weather dog is concerned.   The kids next door cleared the sidewalk in front of our house, so it was easier to walk.  Downtown, the snow melting system was working great.  The sun is shining, and the snow has stopped falling, at least for awhile.

I had a good breakfast of bread, and yogurt, and before that I got a special treat that was part of my Christmas present, I think.  If I could just remember what Christmas was all about, that would probably help, but at least I got good things then.  So now, it is time for more of my second favorite activity.  I should mention, that I am having problems staying in my bed at night, but I don't know why.  My humans tried moving my bed away from the window, like Steph suggested, and I tried sleeping in it, but I ended up back in the bathroom.  I dunno.

Otherwise, I doubt if I will be doing much before dinner.  Since my humans had a late breakfast, or an early lunch, I can't count on any fallout for this afternoon.  So, until next time, Woof.

Woof.  Jack and I just got back from our afternoon walk, and since he is outside, I think I'll take this opportunity to blog.  I just have to watch out that I don't shed all over the keyboard.  I don't know about the humans in my pack, but for me, the weather is just fine.  Not too hot, not too cold, but just like Goldilock's porridge, just right.  I am gong to sleep until dinnertime, because I am tired from having to escort Jack all over GH.

Mary made lunch today, right before Jack and I went for our afternoon walk.  She let me have some of my favorite veggies, green pepper and tomatoes.  I like them.  Go figure.  If it wasn't for me, they would create a lot more trash.  I have a duty to keep the trash level down around here, and believe me, I take that duty seriously.  We got a card from my doctor the other day.  She says I need to make an appointment for my next series of shots.   I don't much like shots, but they help me to stay healthy.  So, I know that Jack and I will be walking over to the doctor after the New Year's Day festivities, one of my favorite days, I think.  So, until I have another chance to blog, Woof.

Woof.  Hi, Sugar the Weather Dog/Sous Chef here.  Although I don't really understand why, I am having difficulty sleeping in my bed.  Maybe it has something to do with a noise that scared me.  I don't know.  But this is my chance to do my blog while Jack is still sleeping.  In my capacity as the official Weather Dog here, the view out the weather window is still dark.  Currently the temperature on the desktop, is 26°.  That always seems very important to Jack.  Me, I plan to go back to bed.  But, I had a few things to bark about.  I had a great day yesterday.  First, we all got up, went downstairs, and opened presents from under the Christmas tree.  I still don't really understand what Christmas is, but I got a really neat gift, so that's all good.  I got something that every dog wishes they did, a box with dog biscuits.  These were the kind of dog biscuits that you only at the gourmet dog store.  Boy, you talk about being a lucky dog.  I also got a broken candy cane at the same time.  Jack got the coolest John Wayne ornament for the tree.  Mary, got these really neat bowls for cooking.  She didn't use them until after they watched their morning movie, The American President, one of their favorites.  Before, the movie, Mary, chopped some veggies, which they both carried upstairs.  Of course I was there to help.  My efforts were rewarded.  I got some celery, carrot, and something else but I don't remember what it was.  Then, they watched the movie.  Then, it was time to make lunch.  I helped then too.  It doesn't get much better than that.  Mary made something called Shepherd's Pie.  I got more veggies then too.  I didn't much like the spinach.  But, I did like the sample I got when she made biscuits.  It all smelled very nice.  Then, they ate lunch, and we sat around for a while.  Finally, it was time for their next favorite movie, Love Actually.  That movie always makes Mary cry.  I don't understand it really, but I do empathize.  After all, I am a dog.  Anyway, soon it was time for my dinner.  I don't think I got as much, but I really didn't need it.  Now it's time for bed again.  So, for now, I'll say woof.
