Christmas Card Pictures...

My mommy and I took some pictures today for our Christmas cards to send to our friends and family. Here is a couple of the ones that didn't make the card this year. Mom says I am not allowed to post the picture that made the cut because she wants it to be a surprise. I am wearing my cute vest from Lilibell's Couture, you might not be able to see it because the pictures are black and white, but mom promises to show you how handsome I look in it in a post later this week.



Pee Ess: Mom apologizes for the blurriness of the pictures. My Mawmaw was being a doofus with the camera..BOL!!

I'm Thankful For...

I just wanted to take a moment on Thanksgiving to tell all my furfriends what I am thankful for...

**For my mom who takes care of me and loves me unconditionally and gives me everything that a dog could ask for and more**

**For my Mawmaw who loves me just as much as my mom does and is a superb cuddler (That pic above is of me and my Mawmaw..just in case you were wondering...BOL)

**For the fact that even though my mom is unemployed, that financially we are okay and that we have a roof over our heads and a place to call home and that we know everything will work out for the best**

I hope that everybody has a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Be sure to spend lots of time with your families and remember not to take the little things forgranted..

Much Love,
Avery

So Long...

It has been furever since my assistant could be bothered to help me post on my blog. I bet all you furfriends forgot all about me because mom has been so lazy..

Lots of things have happened since I posted last. My mom got laid off from her job and now we spend tons of time together. She needs to get out more, she's been getting on my nerves. I do like the get to sleep in and cuddle thing though. She has been looking for a job and gets unemployment benefits, so I can still eat and everything. BOL!

I am getting ready to go in a couple of weeks and get my christmas picture taken at the Happy Dog. My mom ordered a special outfit for me from Chewy and Lilibell's mom. You can buy a super cute outfit too from Lilibell's Couture. They have boys and girls dog clothes.

We have received the christmas card exchange list and we are very busy preparing to send out christmas cards to all my furfriends. I can't wait to receive cards from all my furfriends and for all my friends to get my cards. This is very exciting!!

My mom assures me that she will try her best to try to help me post more on my blog. We shall see. I miss all you guys!!

Do You Remember Me?...

Hi everyone. It's been quite some time since I have posted. This is in part because my mom was suffering from a never ending migraine. It lasted for almost 3 weeks. Also, I got my rabies and DHPP shot. After all that worrying my mom did. NOTHING HAPPENED!! Well I did get a little knot that popped up where the rabies shot was, but other than that nothing out of the ordinary happened. We did take your advice and had the shots split up so that I could deal with only one at a time. My mom thinks that this is what helped me tremendously!!

My mom had to go pick up some allergy drops for my eyes as my allergies are really bothering them. They are really runny and red. Hopefully this in combination with benadryl will clear them nasty allergy eyes.

Nothing really new around here other than on this Sunday my mom is taking me to her church to be blessed by Father Frank for the "Blessing of the Animals" in celebration of St. Francis of Assissi's feast day. I didn't get to go last year because my mom was really sick then.

Next weekend, I have to go back to the vet to get my allergy shot. But that's something that is normal for me. So everything should go okay there.

I have missed you my furfriends. I have been keeping up with your blogs, but I haven't been able to comment much because of my assistant's persistent migraines. We soon hope to catch back up and get into the swing of things. I leave you with a video of my Aunt Lauren and I playing. Enjoy!

Me So Sleepy...

My mom got me a snuggle sack back in April for my birfday and I haven't been in it much because I am terrified of it it's been too hot. However the other night I went in it and my mom of course had to capture it on camera..


In other news I had to go to the House of Satan vet yesterday for my allergy shot. Everything went great. I was such a good boy. I didn't even cry or flinch or anything. Mommy is so proud of me! However, this morning my mom woke up and noticed that there was red bumps under my skin on my belly, but they weren't raised or anything. She called the vet and they said that I had to come back in. So I had to get tortured go to the vet twice in two days. It was horrible let me tell you. The vet looked at my stomach and said (in real serious vet voice) "Mmmmhhhhmmmm..looks like Avery scraped his belly and it is just a bruise." Let's just say that my mom wasn't too thrilled about spending $34 on a BRUISE, but she thought that I was having some freak allergy reaction from the shot.

Also, remember how my mom was thinking that I was due for my annual and the 3yr rabies and DHHP shots in October..nope we gots a card in the mail and it was for THIS month..My mom about had a heart attack. She is really scared that I am going to have a reaction to the rabies shot, but she talked to the vet today and he is just going to do the physical exam part and just the rabies shot and then we will have to go back again to get the rest. This makes Mommy feels tons better. So one week from today is SHOT DAY..my mawmaw is going to take the day off from work to go with us in case I have a reaction and we are going to stay at the vet's office for a little while after the shot just to make sure I don't have a reaction. Paws crossed that everythings goes okay...

Lazy Day...

Today was pretty much a lazy day. I looked out the window some..

Then I played peek-a-boo with Mommy..


And then I did this for the rest of the day...


Me wants to wish all my furfriends a happy and safe Labor Day weekend..


Pee Ess: My mom wanted me to pass along some information. I am on Royal Canin Rabbit and Potato food. She also wanted me to thank all of you for your wonderful suggestions. She says that she will discuss some of these things with the Devil Vet...also she wants to know if any of your furfriends have had any allergic reactions to the rabies vaccine. I am due for my 3 year rabies shot next month..I didn't have any allergic reactions to my first one, but my mom is super paranoid and wants to be prepared just in case (she seems to think that I might have a reaction because of all my allergies popping up since the last time the shot was done)..if you could be so kind to let her know what to expect with a rabies shot allergic reaction then we all might just be able to get some sleep around here...BOL!

Award...

My friend Miley gave me an award. Isn't it pretty?...


My mom says that I have to follow the rules (sheesh..mom..Ok)..

1. Please thank the dog who gave this to you, and link to them.
(Thanks Miley for being such a wonderful furfriend and for giving me this pawsome award!)

2. Name 10 (yes 10) things about yourself. Try to be as creative as possible.
(I have decided that because I just did this about myself not too long ago, that I will do ten things for my mommy but things that have to do with me..ok?)

*My mom is MAJOR paranoid about me. She worries all the time over every little thing. Like if I sneeze or something (maybe not that drastic), she is ready to run off to the v-e-t..(shudders)..I do have to admit though she has gotten better since she can't afford to run to the vet all the time because she works part time only now...but she still calls the vet just to give her peace of mind..

*My mom wants to write a chihuahua mystery series featuring a dog like me (DUH!)...

*My mom has problems sleeping if I am not in the bed with her (which rarely happens.) She likes to feel me up against her leg. She says it helps her sleep knowing that I am right beside her..

*My mom is a sucker for my sad puppy dog eyes..I can get away with mostly everything, if I give her sad eyes..like that time I ate her retainers and her Harry Potter book..

*My mom has a million nicknames for me..in fact she can't even remember all the ones she has used over the past 4 years..

*One time, my mom thought she lost me and she cried and cried..even though I was just hiding..she felt so happy that I wasn't gone that she gave me all her ice cream cone..numm..

*My mom once gave me a piece of chocolate...this was before she knew the dangers of chocolate and it didn't even make me sick..a little hyper and a little more crazier then normal but I was just fine..she still won't forgive herself for that...

*My mom had my name picked out before she even saw me for the first time. She was going to name whatever dog she got "Avery"..but luckily my name fits me..I looks like an "Avery"...

*My mom has a necklace with my name on that she wears all the time. She says she likes having me close to her heart all the time..(MUSHY!)

*And finally, my mom would do anything for me to make sure that I was happy. She quit smoking for me and gave up a lot for me when I was going through all that allergy stuff. She was quite poor for some time, but it didn't bother her because she wants to make sure that I get everything that I need. I loves her..


(Please ignore the horrible hairdo of mine..mom needed to take me to the groomers really bad)

So now the last thing for me to do is to give away the award to 15 of my friends and because I am really too lazy to pick anyone I want to give this award to all my furfriends and say thank you for following my blog and my adventures (cough cough)..you are the bestest furfriends in the wholes wides world!
