Pizza Nights

Freddy, the wiener dog, likes pizza.  Friday nights are Pizza Night.  Freddy actually barked at Jeff for pizza.  Freddy Baby is a Sausage Baby and doesn’t get pizza.  Freddy is unhappy that he didn’t get pizza.  However, we have to reduce his weight to 11 lbs. before his next vet visit in December.  No pizza.  Besides, cheese gives Freddy horrible gas.

Hey, that’s my seat!

Just made Steven switch seats!
Freddy, the wiener dog, spends a lot of time with his two-legged brother Steven.  Steven sits in a gaming chair to play xBox 360(R).  Freddy likes when Steven warms a chair up for him.  Freddy will come along and stand in front of Steven when he wants the chair Steven is sitting in.  Without looking up from his game, Steven will move over to the next gaming chair and Freddy hops into his chair.  Clever dog.

Learning New Tricks

Freddy, the wiener dog, taught me a new trick.  When it's time for lunch, actually when he's ready for lunch, he finds me and starts to whine...although not too much because he knows I hate that sound.  When I look down at Freddy, he snorts and dances his front paws back and forth.  I say, "Are you ready for lunch?"  Then, he gives me a big snort, jumps up, and we go into the kitchen and fix a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  You can teach an old mom new tricks.  Hey, wait a minute.......

Oh, no, not again!

Freddy, the wiener dog, went for this morning walk.  Once again he saw The Trash Monster.  The worst part of that big beast is the air-brakes.  That wooooshing sound made Freddy afraid.  We walked past it, but I knew we would see it again.  Our street is U-shaped, so the truck must pass us twice.  We beat it to the second half of the street, but eventually it made its way around the corner.  Freddy wasn't happy to see it.  Oh, no, not again!  This time instead of being afraid of the air-brakes, he trotted past it as quickly as possible.  Good boy, Freddy Baby!  When we arrived home, Freddy came inside all puffed up, proud of himself.  He went strolling through the house with his woobie looking to tell everybody that he made it past The Trash Monster, but everybody's still asleep.  Mommy knows you were brave, Freddy.  Mommy knows.

Nana’s visit.

Nana keeping Freddy safe.
Freddy, the wiener dog, loves when his Nana comes to visit.  Freddy may be The Baby to us, but he’s The Grandbaby to Nana.  He follows Nana around the house because he never knows when he’s going to get an oatmeal cookie or sit in her lap for book-time.  Whenever she picks him up to sit on the couch with her, she makes sure that he has his special pillow.  Nana also doesn’t want the living room fan on because she doesn’t want him to get cold.  We had a bad thunder and lightning storm.  Freddy was sitting next to me, but when he saw a big flash of lightning he threw himself into Nana’s lap.  Nana, of course, kept Grandbaby Freddy comfy and safe.
