What I've been up to lately

HIIIII EVERYONE!Elle Woods the Great Dane here! Mom says that everyone loves it when I post, so I thought I'd take the opportunity on this Monday morning to let you know what I'm up to.
I hate Mondays. They make me sad. Mom goes to work and Dad (mom's roommate) is usually really sleepy on Mondays because he works at a bar so he works all weekend. So even though I have a stay at home Dad he isn't much fun on Mondays!

The past week has been a lot of fun for me though! It is springtime here in Chicago (FINALLY!) so we have spent a lot of time at the dog beach. I've been going swimming and running and jumping and having SO MUCH FUN. I asked Mom to take some pictures so you can see, but she forgot her camera (sometimes Mom is dumb and I get frustrated), so these are just crappy iphone pictures.


First here is me runnningggg and playing. I can run really fast for a Great Dane. It's because I don't like to eat too much so I am so thin and glamorous (like a supermodel!).

 This is me and my friend Sampson ( he goes by Sam for short). My mom thinks his mom is very nice, and I think he is QUITE handsome! He looks just like my blog friend Honey, but he is even bigger than Honey! He weighs about 165 pounds. I am quite petite at only 110 pounds!

Mom made Sam's mom make us sit so she could get a picture of the two of us together. Sam is obviously a better sitter than me. I just wanted to make sure I was gonna get something out of it (TREATS!) before I sat down. I don't do somethin' for nothin', people!

 So then I finally sat like a good girl. See how much bigger Sam is than me?! And if you look close you can see a baby Great Dane in the background (just behind my left ear!). He is 3.5 months old and SOOO CUTE. His name is Desmond and he is what is called "blue", which is a beautiful gray color. He had his ears cropped so they will stand up, not like me and Sam's ears. He wanted to play with us a little bit but he got a bit scared when we started running around like wild Hooligans! So he mostly just stood by his daddy. I can't wait til he gets bigger and can play with me!

Here is another one of me and Sam with Baby Desmond in the background.

 See how much bigger Sam is than me?!

 Here is a close up of just me. Pretty, aren't I?!

After we go to the beach I am just plain WORN OUT! So I like to nuzzle into my pillows and make myself a little nest. I am so glad Mom puts these pillows up on the bed so I can be comfy! And I am so grateful that I leave my bed on the floor wide open for her, in case she wants somewhere to lay down while I'm resting.

 After lots of beach fun, Mom's favorite team, the Dallas Mavericks, were playing.

Ugh... this is boring mom. I don't wanna watch anymore.

Mom made me sit down and watch it with her. She told me I had to watch because she says Dirk Nowitzki is probably going to be my daddy sometime soon so I should get used to him.

Oh... a real dad? For me! Which one? The cute one? YES!

He looks tall... I wonder if he likes to wrestle!

K mom, when do I get to meet him?!

Mom says this is playoff season so we'll be watching lots of Mavs games and cheering for Dirk a lot. I guess that's alright with me, as long as the games don't interfere with my beach time. Priorities, people.

  Hope everyone else had a good weekend!
I am exhausted from typing this, so I'm going back to sleep! 

Oh and mom asked me to share some good news with you guys - she found out on Friday that her ex's mom (I blogged about how she found out she had cancer here) had a successful surgery. They removed the cancer and found it has not spread to the lymph nodes. HOORAY! I am so so happy to hear it. She won't have to do chemo or radiation since it hadn't spread, so wonderful news there.

XOXO,
Elle Woods
