Squirrel Obsessed

What's a walk without stalking a squirrel or two.

Madison is of one opinion and H-mom is of another opinion completely. The squirrels? They have their own point of view, which they don't hesitate to share from a safe distance up the tree.

Prizes? This lonely pooch says YES!

H-mom entered our blog into a cool contest for dog blogs. Even though she is gone all day now, maybe her great writing and my beautiful face can win me some PRIZES to keep me busy while I am being lonesome. That would make me feel better.

So vote for the "Madison" blog right away! Here is the "magic code":

And here is the info that we got which is how H-mom found out about the contest that made Madison think that a whole PILE LOAD of prizes would make her feel just a little bit less lonesome:

VOTE for "withlovemadison" by going to the homepage www.TrainPetDog.com and entering the above voting code in the voting box and clicking on the Submit button.

We need at least 50 votes to qualify for Round 2. Boy that's a lot.

But ... Madison has lots of empathetic dog pals, who know how terrible it is to be lonesome, and who might just think that it is really cool for her to maybe win some prizes. We would even share!

This is my life ...

ahhhhhhhhhhh .... laying at the feet of H-Mom while she sits on her laptop.

Even though she is GONE all day. And we really miss her. And I follow Man-Dad around, like his shadow, making sure that HE is not going anywhere.

H-mom is so so busy

Madison has been hanging with Man-dad all day during the week. He is such a good dad. He gets up early and takes Madison to the dog park. And then he walks around outside with her. And he gets her breakfast and lets her sleep on the Stearns & Foster while he works on his computer.

H-Mom gets home at 6pm. Really, a bit later. It makes Madison all mopey during the day, but really excited when she comes home.

H-Mom is working on a cool consulting gig. In a week or so, she'll know if it is a real JOB job. Like a full-time permanent one with benefits and everything.

And H-Mom is kind of sad about not being home and doing all her creative stuff, and writing all day and hanging with Madison, and even bickering with Man-dad.

Change is good. We just have to keep on telling H-Mom that.

OMDog. It's still raining.

Artic Blast

Fort Lauderdale - all of South Florida - is in the icy grip of an arctic blast. Thank goodness Madison skipped her last appointment at the grooomer and is sporting a thick and curly Schnauzer coat. This weather is glorious for a giant black dog, at least when the sun is shining.

But today? Plummeting temperatures and rain all day. Dismal.

What to do, but lounge. Mope. Make long sad sighs.

While our dog park floods, sitting deserted and very very chilly.
