Diet Patrol...and an emergency haircut

I caught Mommy being bad on her diet! Human Grandma made Stuffed Peppers. Mommy doesn't like to eat peppers so she asked her Mom to save her just the meat and rice stuffing on the side instead of stuffing a pepper.

So, Mommy wasn't thinking when she was eating and scooped herself seconds of the meat and rice stuffing! I watch every move that Mommy makes when she eats -- so I immediately barked at her when she took seconds. Mommy quickly yelled at herself saying -- What am I doing!!!! (Mommy said it was just a force of habit to get seconds.)

Good thing I was there to bark at Mommy -- she rewarded me by giving me some of the bigger pieces of meat in the stuffing. YUM!



Did you know I am also a chef. Here is a picture of me in the kitchen telling my Human Grandma how many pieces of cubed ham to put in her scrambled eggs. I told Human Grandma she put enough pieces in, so she gave me the extra piece of ham.

I think I might have to go on a diet too! NOT!

P.S. I don't think the grape agreed with me the other day! Mommy had to give me a haircut on my bottom -- there is only so much a half a box of baby wipes can clean off! Good thing I have a lot of hair on my tail -- it hides my bottom end! I'm glad Mommy doesn't cut hair for a living! I'm also glad that Mommy decided not to take a picture of my haircut! From now on -- no more experiments with fruit for me -- I'll stick to begging for meat!

Helping Mommy Lose Weight!

I'm helping Mommy lose weight! She started a diet last week. So, I am helping her by being her trainer and coaching her when she walks on the treadmil.

Fruit Day

Today, August 6th is the Day to Bless Fruit.

Mommy explained to me that on the Feast of the Transfiguration, her church blesses fruit.

The way she understands it, fruit symbolizes rebirth -- a seed turns into a tree and the tree bears fruit. When the fruit falls from the tree, new seeds get planted and turn into new trees and bear new fruit. So, they bless fruit in church. (I'm sure it is more complex than that -- but Mommy tried to keep it simple.)

So, Mommy and I were super busy today preparing a basket of fruit.


Here I am after we finished putting together the basket of fruit.



I had to dodge a couple of grapes that fell down when Mommy was arranging the basket. I ate a grape -- I don't know if I like grapes -- I guess I will know during my next potty session if grapes like me.

Mommy saw this sign in the supermarket and showed it to me. It made me think of my friend Mango the Mastiff. I wonder how big the basket would have to be if my friend Mango the Mastiff had to sit in a basket?

Good night blog friends! That sure was a busy day!
