The shirt that Sweets is wearing is something I made for him about 1 1/2 years ago. The only problem is that it shrunk in a major way because I used really cheap fabric. Lesson learned! I just loved the pattern on it. If you can’t tell, it’s apples in the shape of hearts. I think it’s adorable, personally.

This is my version of the “Maria Sheripova (no idea how to spell her name…the tennis player) wall” when she did that Nikon (or was it Canon) commercial. She had a bunch of photos in frames on her wall of her dog. I thought it was so cute that I had to have one. Instead of buying a million picture frames, I came across this on a shopping excursion, and decided to use this instead. It hasn’t been updated in a while so the photos are a touch on the older side. This adorable wooden room divider was on sale for half price. How could I leave it there?
Note:- Ignore the sad, weak Ivy plant that somehow is overtaking the photo. Ugly plant! Also note that I am terrible with plants.



Louise: I don’t have ‘em, Sweets. You must have flung them somewhere when you were shaking the life out of them.
Sweets: Oh no I didn’t! You lost them. Not me!
Louise: Oh, that’s right. You’re perfect. I forgot. My bad!
Sweets: That sounds about right!


Sweets: It’s like “beauty sleep” but for a studly male dog.
Louise: Oh, so now you’re making stuff up?
Sweets: YES! Now leave me alone. I need my “studly sleep”!
Louise: Mmmm, k.
Sweets and I watched the “Purina Incredible Dog Challenge” on tv today. I actually managed to get a shot of him watching the other dogs compete.

Did you notice his ears? They are in “perked” position. That only happens when he sees or hears something extremely interesting. I love it when his ears do this. I’m actually quite impressed with this photo. I managed to capture three things at once:
1) His perky ears.
2) Him actually watching tv.
3) The dog on the tv actually showed up somewhat clearly in my camera.
The only time I really catch him watching tv is when there is any sort of animal on the screen. His fave, of course, is other dogs.
I took little Sweets out for a “walk” today. It was to the mailbox and back because it is in the minus teens (Celsius) without the windchill. He was ready to come home halfway there. Poor little thing was so cold.





Sweets and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/Holiday season. Sweets got many gifts which will undoubtedly be featured here in the near future.

A pre-Christmas treats for little Sweets





I followed Sweets as he enjoyed his pre-Christmas treat. Now he is snoozing enjoying the fruits of his labour. It’s tough being a spoiled Shih Poo.
Notice the raised paw in the final photo? That is how he “requests” a belly rub. He does this at least a million times a day. How can a resist the polite gesture? Some would say this is demanding…I think it is adorable and can never resist.
Tomorrow, Sweets and I are going to my parents place for a few days so there will be no updates until the 28th. I plan on taking many photos of the dog antics at my parents place. There will be 4 dogs there so it should be fun.
Merry Christmas, everyone. Give your doggies many treats and belly rubs, from Sweets and I.

How comfy does Sweets look here? I rudely interrupted his snooze-fest for a quick photo because I thought he looked too cute.

He is soooo sleepy in this photo that he apparently doesn’t even mind that I am sticking a big flashing box in his face. He sleeps here all the time. When I start the webcam portion of this website, this is where I plan on pointing it because he is generally here. How cute!
