VET VISIT

MAY 24, 2006
.
As soon as we pulled the car up, I knew where we were. I always gets lots of attention from the doctors and nurses. I had to sit in the waiting area and actually had to "wait" to get attention. I did not like that so I started to make my "give me attention noise", which mommy says sounds like like a goat. Mommy and the nurses coudl not stop laughing, which in turn got me all the attention I wanted.
.
.
Mommy writes.........."He is just so funny, I mean making noises to get attention!!!!!! How adorable is that!!!!!!!!!!! He has the best personality. He really believes the world needs to stop what they are doing because he has arrived. Well, as his Dogster Motto says, HELLO, It's all about ME".
.

KING OF THE BED

Mommy writes...."Seriously, is he not the cutest baby you have ever seen????? Of course we let him sleep in the bed, he owns our hearts. Besides, where else would a spoiled Frenchie sleep???? "

PILLOW FIGHT
.
Sometimes I need to move my pillow around the house to find the perfect spot. There are times mommy and daddy need to help me get it past the food and water dish, othertimes I can do it all by myself. If the pillow gives me a hard time, then it needs to be punished. I need to attack and growl at that naughty pillow until it learns that I am in charge.

TRIP TO PETCO

Today we drove to PETCO to sign up for training classes. Balboa behaved wonderfully during the trip. He struggled just a little when I put the car harnass on him, but soon settled down and ate his denta-stick.




When we arrived we met Lucy (2 year old Boston Terrier) coming out of the store. Lucy and her mother were happy to chat with Balboa and I. I wanted to let Balboa down to play with Lucy, but he's still a puppy and doesn't know when to leave other dogs alone. When I petted Lucy, Balbo started to wriggle because he wasn't the center of attention (such a spoiled little Frenchie)
During the trip home, he was still wonderful.




We got back home and we played for about an hour, then as I watched Grey's Anatomy (video from Sunday night) he sat beside on the couch. Eventually he fell asleep, and I brought him to bed. Yes he sleeps in our bed, even curls up against me or uses my arm as his pillow.

CUDDLING TIME

.
.

After playing with our baby for hours, Baloa decided he just needed to cuddle. .

.
.

The other night Balboa just wanted to cuddle with his daddy. I had to get a picture, because it was the cutest thing I have ever seen.

.

.

After playing with daddy, Balboa decided to sit on the smushy pillow with his burger and watch some TV.



.
.

The following night, balboa decided to kiss mommy's face for five minutes. When daddy went to take a picture, Balboa tried to kiss the camera. He's just so cute!

TRIP TO THE VET

May 11, 2006

.

Yesterday Balboa went to the vet for his lyme shot. As soon as we walked into the waiting room, he began crying......Not because he was scared, but because he needed immediate attention from the nurse.

.

.

When the vet game him his shot, he did not cry, instead he just wanted to lick the vet's face. Afterwards we went for our usual walk, but he was a little pooped from the after effects of the shot. When we got home, we gave him some special doggy tylenol wrapped in lots of cheese - his favorite.

A NICE VISIT

My sister and her fiance came up for a visit. Balboa had so much fun. He just kept jumping on them and trying to kiss their faces.

DOG PARK COMPLAINT
.
.
I hate the local dog park. Some pet owners think they own the place. Really now, if your dog is going to snap at other dogs who want to play then do not bring them to the dog park. I can't even bring my Balboa to the dog park, because of one stupid owner and his dog.
.
Anyway, Frenchies prefer humans to dogs, at least nice humans, not stuck-up, jerky humans.
.
.
.
FIRST BATH & FUN OUTSIDE
.
.
On Sunday, we gave Balboa his first bath. He was such a good boy and now his fur is bright white again. I placed him on the heating vent, one of his favorite places to sit, while he warmed up. I should have takne a picture, but we were giving him so much love and attention that we couldn't spare a moment to get the camera.
.
.
Since I can't bring my baby to the dog park for exercise, I have been walking him around our condo complex. It is so funny, when he sees a car he stops and checks out the humans inside the car. His ears pop straight up, he is such a cute sight, that people stop the car to check him out as well.

GOING TO THE VET

April 27, 2006

Whenever Balboa goes to the vet he gets so much attention, he just loves it! Poor thing got his rabies shot and his last temperment shot. He never cries, but that rabies shot hurt. Even though it hurt, he still kissed everyone-cause he is so loving.
.
After the vet, we went home and watched some TV. He was so pooped that he slept from 6:00 pm till 5:30 in the morning-Mommy had to get up to go to work.
.
Now that he is officially vaccinated, he can go out and enjoy the weather. I can't wait till Sunday, we can watch daddy play baseball. Balboa will love that!!!!!

SUN BATHING

April 9, 2006 -

Balboa loves our skylights. He just sits under the sun and slowly moves to follow the rays. ( Balboa just turned 3 months on the April 5, 2006, he now weighs 7 lbs & 1 oz)
.
.

"Come on, everytime I close my eyes this stupid light moves. What's going on?"
.
.

"Whoa, where's mommy? Oh, man she has that camera again."
.
.

"I'll give my mommy a nice photo..........I do my little turn on the catwalk" - Thanks Alanna.

WELCOME HOME BALBOA

March 14, 2006 -
Just look at my boys!!!!!!! Balboa's first day home. Already he knows that mommy takes a lot of pictures. What a great husband, I am so lucky.

Seriously how cute is this, he is looking right in my eyes.

Only four pounds, the basket is bigger than he is. The moment he stepped onto the carpet he knew he was at home, so full of energy and life.

"Another picture mommy, well I am really cute"
