Sweets' Photo Gallery  .  Just after a treat and I'm licking my lips.  I'm not allowed to have Beggin' Strips anymore because there is hardly any meat in them.  But, weiners are good! Here's me checking out the treats that I got for Christmas! They were from Grandma and Grandpa's friends.  Wasn't it nice of them to think of me at Christmas? It was unusually warm this January (2007).  So much so that there isn't even any snow on the ground yet.  Notice I am not wearing a sweater?  That is how warm it was. I so much hate this leash.  Look at the way I am looking at Mom.  She is paranoid that I am going to get run over by a car because I tend to run right into the road without looking. Here's me trying me best to run out of the shot before Mom can take the picture.  Darnit, I was caught! Yes, can I help you?  Mom had just called my name when she took this photo.  I was right in the middle of turning around. Mom thinks that I look really cute in this photo.  She got right down on the ground to get this shot.  I look busy, like I am right in the middle of doing something.  Which I was.  I was sniffin'! Here is one of my three jacks.  I have a blue jack, a pink jack and a yellow jack, this one.  This toy was new when this picture was taken.  I used to play with them all the time. That is until I discovered 'stuffies'. Here is one of the stuffies that I was talking about.  I have four of them. This purple one and a blue one that looks just like it.  I also have a blue hippo and a pinkish/purplish hippo too. Just checkin' out the squeak.  Afterall, a stuffie isn't a stuffie if it doesn't squeak. I am at Grandma and Grandpa's house in this picture.  When I first got here, I marked/tagged this couch that you can see in the background. I don't think they were very amused, but they didn't get mad at me. Mom said that I shouldn't do that.  I don't do it anymore.  I am totally trained in doing my business outside.  I don't make mistakes anymore. I don't even tag anything in the house.  I'm such a good little boy! Do you like my blue shirt? Notice the snow.  It started to get cold outside.  Then it got really, really cold. The snow built up all winter and got to be really deep.  I would sink into it all the way up to my chest. This is Mom's favourite photo.  She thinks I look really cute in it.  It is my favourite shirt, too.  The wind is blowing through my hair/fur in a really cute way. So she says. Mom, gimme my stuffie!  It's a miracle that I haven't torn it to shreds by now.  I have been doing really good with my stuffies.  I kill the squeak, yes, but, I don't tear the stuffing out like I used to.  I am more refined now. Look at me!  I am soooo cute.  I am the cutest little doggie in the whole world. I had fleas when this photo was taken.  Hence, the flea collar. I got fleas from the outside grass because I was living in the country and I picked them up out in the bushes. Mom loves taking pictures of me when I am in the middle of tagging something.  In this case, the snow.  It looks like it is tall so, I must tag it to let other doggies know that I have been here. Look at how tall the snow is?  It is soooo high!  I am in snow up to my knees. It was really cold on this day.  I can't even keep all of my paws on the ground at one time. "Hurry up, Mom and take the picture so when can go inside where it is nice and warm!" This is Ben's bone.  To this day, nobody knows where this bone is.  Grandma thought I had it and hid it.  But, we know that it must've been Ben.  I would never do anything like that.  Mom went to the store and bought me a bone just like this one except that it is purple and a little bit smaller. Another cold, cold day in late January, 2007.  This is me wearing my warmest sweater.  It is velour.  So, it is thicker than my other sweaters.  I love it.  It is so snuggly. What?  What are ya lookin' at?  Get that stupid flashy thing outta my face.  Do you have to take my picture so much? This is obviously an action shot.  My back legs are in the middle of trotting along and they aren't even touching the ground.  I am practically doing a handstand. Mom called my name and I was in the middle of turning around to see what she wanted. Extreme close-up.  Too close if you ask me.  You can see right up my nose. Just relaxing in the sunshine.  It is sooo cold outside that it is nice to relax in the sunshine.  It is so warm in the sun. Oh great!  Another taggin' photo.  Yes, I'm tagging snow. But, that will let all other doggies know that I have been here and that I am the toughest doggie on the block! Look how much snow there is now!  It's really deep. It has been sooo cold outside that there hasn't been a chance for the previous snowfalls to melt away. They just keep building on top of each other. This is the first day at my new apartment.  I like it here.  I miss Ben though. Ben is Grandma and Grandpa's doggie.  He is a Boxer and is really cute. He is such a good doggie.  I used to charge at him outside and he would run away from me.  I am sooo tough. Just chillin' in my new pad! Mom bought me this new toy.  I hate it.  It is stinky.  It stinks of rubber. I don't like the smell or the way it feels when it is in my mouth. So, I don't play with it.  It makes a really loud, funny squeaky sound that I don't like either. Here I am in the kitchen waiting for some yummy food to fall on the ground.  I am like a vacuum cleaner. If food falls on the ground, I gobble it up.  I guess all doggies are like that, though. Look at my little tongue sticking out.  I was in mid 'licking my lips'.  Mom likes it when she captures my tongue sticking out. Here is a picture of my bluish/greenish hippo.  I am thrashing it around to try to 'kill' it.  I would be ferocious if I was allowed out to roam by myself.  I could totally take care of myself.  I would have soooo much food because I am so good at 'killing' stuff.  Especially 'stuffies'. Don't ask!  I don't even know what I am doing in this picture. I think I am looking for something...like my sanity, perhaps. Nope, I am not neutered yet.  I know what you are thinking. Why hasn't your Mom got you neutered yet?  Well, to be honest, she is afraid.  She has heard horror stories of little doggies, like me, dying because of anesthetic.  Apparently, little doggies are extremely sensitive to anesthetic.  She plans to get me 'done' this summer.  But, hopefully she will chicken out.  I don't want it done, to be perfectly honest with you. Another extreme close-up.  Mom loves taking photos of me really close up.  She thinks I am really handsome.  Well, she's right. Here is Mom doing 'bunny ears' behind my head.  I new she was doing it the whole time.  I was just pretending not to notice. Another close-up.  Aren't I cute? Here is a photo of my gorgeous eye.  I do have two, but Mom thought just one would be a cute photo. Here is another one of my favourite shirts.  Mom made this one too.  She likes making me shirts.  She hasn't made me one in a long time though.  It has actually been since Christmas since she has made me one. They were Christmas themed shirts.  "They were really cute" Mom said. Here is my new toy box.  Not all of my toys are in it though, because they are all over the livingroom floor (as they are right now).  I like having them laying all over the place.  When Mom puts them in the toybox, I sit right by it and pull them out as she puts them in.  Ha ha!  Hilarious. Ever since I have moved into my new place, I tag like this.  I think it is because it is a new subdivision and there are no trees to tag, yet.  But, when they put some trees in...look out.  I will be a tagging machine. When I eat, I take pieces of my food out of my bowl and  take it over to the rug and eat them there.  I think I do this because I must not have had much chance to eat when I was a puppy and I was trying to compete with my birthdoggieMom and my birthdoggieDad.  This is the only thing that Mom can think of.  Only I know why I do this, and I'm not talking. Ah Ha!  This is pinkish/purplish hippo.  Notice bluish/greenish hippo in the background.  In this photo, I had pinkish/purplish hippo for less than 24 hours when I pulled the squeaky out of it. Mom wasn't impressed.  She took the stuffie away from me so she can sew it back up.  She was sitting on the computer and turned around and saw me with the stuffie and all the stuffing sitting all over the floor.  That'll show you for not paying attention to me. ZZZZZ!  Not!  I am not actually sleeping in this photo.  If you look closely, you can see my one eye open.  I was just trying to trick Mom. This photo should be submitted to www.sluttypuppy.com.  Very funny Website.  It is full of photos of doggies laying around just like I am in this photo. Ahhhh!  Here is the photo of what Mom saw when she turned around from looking at the computer.  Pretty funny, eh?  She wasn't expecting to see this, that's for sure.  I did this because I HAD to eliminate that squeaky thing.  Well, I did. Here's me looking longingly at a yummy piece of wiener.  Oh how I love weiner.  "Come on Mom, give it to me." Look how lucky I am.  A whole wiener and all just for me. More photos to come to come back again soon. Love and Smoochies, Sweets - little big man
