October 14 2013- Rainy Days

For the past few days there has been non stop rain. I live in Texas and judging by my master's reaction to the rain, rain is a blessing to us. I've had restless nights, I try to go to my master's bedroom upstairs for comfort and protection from the thunder, but the never ending stairs keep me from that comfort. The thunder reminds me of the evil vacuum that is always trying to eat me. The head master, mom, only likes to sleep during the day. I thought she was a vampire one time, until I found out that her job is only at night. My job is to protect our house, if I here a noise I must bark to alarm my masters. But sometimes they do not always appreciate my alarms. Like today I saw the evil cat again outside my window playing with mom's flowers, and I barked constantly to scare away the cat and save mom's flowers. But I was rewarded with a spank on my paw and a time out. My masters love to reward me with bacon treats sometimes too! Normally I have to do many meaningless tricks to get a yummy bacon treat, but it's totally worth it. Those treats taste heavenly in my mouth. My favorite master, the small one loves to put the treats on my nose and count to three. I always shake it off and eat it though. 
The rain has made me very sleepy, the small master always watches people from inside this black box all day. And somehow those people always change every 30 minutes. I'm very happy that the rain has gotten my nasty dog food all wet because then mom give me a human food meal inside! It's so delicious. I have been gaining weight, I can barely groom myself anymore. Small master always wants to take me outside for a walk, but the mean neighbor dogs are mean, they get their own master to scare my small master until we go back inside. Small master is afraid I might bite the neighbor dogs one day, well they deserve it, they are always so mean to me. 
Rainy days are the worst, I can never go outside because small master doesn't want my muddy paw prints to get on the floor again. I think the paw prints add a cute arty feeling to the room though. This rainy day is the worst also because dad master and big sister master are gone for most of the day. Small sister master stay with me though which is good. 
Around 8:00 pm dad master comes home and eats lots of human food. I wonder why mom master never gives him my dry food sometimes. He doesn't give me that much attention. Sometimes when he ignores my hunger for human food, I try to get his attention my sending him a friendly toot. He doesn't really like those toots for some reason, I like them...they smell like chicken. 

ps. Try these treats!!! 

This is the typical rainy day for me, but some rainy days small master isn't with me to play with me. She leaves very early in the morning with a large bag with yummy papers with words on them. Next time it's rainy I will ask her to take me with her.
