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.

Woof.  Hi, Sugar the Weather Dog again.  Jack is sleeping in this morning, so I thought, what the hey, I'll get in a short blog on Christmas day.  I am not certain what Christmas day actually is, but I think it has something to do with food.  Just a guess, but Mary seemed intent on having her kitchen ready for today, so I am just guessing that it has something to do with my favorite activity. I do know that it has to do with a tree, dogs like trees, some extra mail from Dave, and a sense that the world is ready for new things in some way.

Yesterday, we went for a couple of walks, and that was good by me.  Have I mentioned that I mostly like walking?  Except when the wind is blowing too hard, and then it isn't as much fun.  I got to smell new things and places, leave a few messages, and in general enjoy GH in all its glory.  Mary and Jack stopped off at the local deli, that's a place where they make sandwiches and things, and they picked up something.  I thought it must be for me, because Mary put it into her pocket, where all my treats seem to go.  But no, she had to tell me several times that it wasn't for me.  I wonder what it is.  I guess I'll look extra cute today, and that may convince Jack to give me some.  He is a soft touch when it comes to me.  Have I mentioned that before?  I just have this dog sense that it is going to be a good day.  I hope that I am right.

One thing is for sure, I'll get in more walking, more eating, and more napping.  How can it get any better than that?  I have a special wish for all the members of my posse.  I hope that you all get good homes this year.  I got mine a few years ago, and I protect my humans as best I can.  Like I think I said before, I don't know how they got anywhere before I found them.  So, until I have more to bark about, Woof.

Woof. Hi, Sugar the Weather Dog here.  Jack was reading the paper, but then he had to go upstairs to help Mary with the printer.  So, opportunistic dog that I am, I decided I could get to his keyboard and add to my blog.  He thinks I'm still sleeping, but I'm really adding to my blog.  In my job as assistant weather forecaster, when I look out the Weather Window, I see gray.  Currently, the temperature outside is 34°.

My humans weren't listening this morning, and so I got sick on the rug next to the bed.  But, Jack wasn't mad, he just cleaned it up.  After that, I felt fine, and I was ready to eat.  Like most dogs, I'm usually ready-to-eat.  So they had banana bread for breakfast, and I had a banana, yogurt, and bread myself.  After that, we all walked to the library, and dropped off some books.  Then we went to Washington Street, where we bought a newspaper, and finally headed home.  A good morning.  I think.  Then, it was time for the humans to have lunch.  They had left overs, and Mary nicely spilled some on the floor just for me.  From a dog's point of view, it doesn't get any better than that, unless it's a chance to nap some more.  But, before I could get down to the business of napping, Jack and I walked to the bookstore and got the local paper.   Soon, it will be time for dinner, I hope.

Well, that's about all for now.  So until next time, I'll just say, Woof.

Woof.  Jack woke me when he came to bed, so I decided that turnabout was fair play, and so here I am at his keyboard.  He hasn't caught on yet, so I'll just keep up this blogging thing.  I had a great morning.  Jack took me for a long walk downtown, while Mary did something else.  I like Mary, but I really like walking with my pawferrred human, Jack.  We explored places I had not been recently, and the aromas were intoxicating.  We didn't go in anywhere today, but that was okay.  For breakfast, I got the leftover eggs from the French toast and some bread too.  That is one of Mary's great traits, sharing the eggs with me.  Jack topped it off with some yogurt, so it was all good.  There was the usual delay caused by that Chris guy, but I have come to accept that.  It sure was a lot nicer out this morning.  Very little wind, and so walking was great fun.  What more could a dog ask?  I didn't get a second walk today, but since I didn't go out until after 10:00 AM, it wasn't necessary.  But, I hope this doesn't become the norm.  I'll wait and see.  This afternoon, Jack and Mary went out somewhere, but that gave me more time for my second favorite thing.  So, before I get caught, I'll sign off and say woof.
