Hide and Seek

Here's how it works around here, I hide under the couch all the time. Then along comes the Reilly man and he sniffs...that's the corner of the couch I used to pee on, I wonder if he can smell it, nah, I think he smells me under the couch.



Then he pokes his head under the couch, and

GROWOLLLLLLLL, out I stick my head with teeth showing, giving my mean old growl, and then I give him a few face bites, while he cowers and barks in total and complete fear of me. (k here: umm I see no fear, in fact Reilly usually barks and growls right back and gets in a few face bites himself!)

Game over!
We play this game a couple of times a day, it never gets boring.

What about me?

First of all, to those that want to try the great panty raid, GO FOR IT! It's really fun, but here is some advice, don't grab the bra, take it from me, your feet will get caught up in the straps, part of it will bounce up and whack you in the face, no good for running! So good luck to all that decide to try it!

Now listen, I mighta complained a little about all the flashies and snappies of the camera in my face, but lady, STOP taking pictures of the Reilly man, I'm starting to get mad here, in fact let me show you what I think of it....
I refuse to look at the camera while you are taking pictures of that stupid camera hogging puppy!

Yeah, yeah, you're cute you little SH*&! But me, I'm

HANDSOME! Oh my, not to brag or anything, but I am one good lookin' dog.

Oh and check out the newest cake my lady decorated. I tried to eat some, but I got stopped before I could lick. Bummer, maybe next week.

Almost there, maybe she won't stop me.....but she did.

Bring Back Those Panties!

Those are four of the funniest words EVER! Whenever the lady does laundry, no matter how careful she is, I always, ALWAYS! get a pair of her panties...then I run out to the back yard and run around and flip them in the air, and i let her get just close enough, then I run away with them again. The neighbors get to hear her yell, "BRING BACK MY PANTIES!" WOOF WOOF, it is so funny.

She never takes a picture when I am running around with her panties, I wonder why?! I love laundry day.

Barkorama

The Reilly man can't get up on the couch, so that is where I hide all my toys from him, see my toys, MINE!



So what he does is stand on his hind legs and look at me.

Look at his sad face with one of his stupid ears bent back. You can't get up here, you can't get up here! And yes, I taunt him.

Then he does this, barks and howls to be let up on the couch with the toys. Grow some legs buddy and learn to jump, until then you are out of luck.

Who Really Cares!

Okay, I really don't care what my lady does, unless it involves me...but one thing she started doing does kind of involve me...She started taking a cake decorating class. She had to leave for three hours on Monday night and I DIDN"T GET TO GO! At first I was kind of pissed off about it, grumbling, ignoring her, thinking about peeing on the couch kind of mad. But then she showed me the cake she made for Reilly and ME. She wrote Woof and M and R for her two dog dudes. Cools. Not so cools, we didn't get to eat any, WTF! And I wanted to know why she didn't write out our full names, what's with the initials only crap?! She gave me some stupid excuse about our full names not fitting, then I heard her confess to her friend that she has really crappy handwriting, so she decided on initials. SHHHH, Don't tell her I told you that!


Anyway, some other time I'll tell you about the other thing she does, buzz campaigning for new authors, she thinks it's cool, I think it sucks cause she reads instead of playing with the Reilly man and me. Two more cakes to follow, I hope I get to eat some of those.......

Finally Back!

The lady went on a work trip....and we had to go to doggie camp. I love doggie camp, I get to play all day. I showed the Reilly Man the ropes, but there was one thing he hated, being separated FROM ME! On the last day the lady always gets me a bath, she likes me to be sweet smelling when I get home. So the bath peeps came and got me and left Reilly man in his crate, waiting for his turn in the bath. Oh BOY, big mistake...he started screamin' and I do mean screamin' when he couldn't see me. It was so loud and horrible that people in the lobby rushed back to see how badly the screamin' dog was hurt! Finally they had to bring him back to where he could see me getting my bath, then he was all calm. I guess the little guy really likes me!

Anyway, when we got home I showed him how to show the lady how mad we were that she left town. I took him to my hiding spot. Under here she can't find us! Whenever I am mad I go here, and now the Reilly man can go with me! Such a good hiding spot.
After I showed my lady how mad we were, she felt really bad, so she came and got us for some couch cuddle time.

Here we are cuddling on her lap, so comfy!

Kisses, Man, give her KISSES! We snuck up on her and gave her face some kisses!

Wow, then it somehow turned into a fight, not really sure who started it, I know it wasn't me...but man, that little turkey attacked me right when I was kissin the lady, she started laughing, and then we really went at it!

Yeah, I know Joe and Doofus aren't fightering any more, but we can't seem to stop!

I am so glad to have the lady back.

The Money Shots

The lady calls these next two shots the money shots, whatever that means. All I can say is I am very sorry for the graphic nature of the second photog....


Reilly looking very handsome.


Yikes, ME!!


Here is me letting my lady know what I think of those type of photos, NO MORE BELLY SHOTS SHOWING MY GOODS LADY or THIS IS WHAT YOUR GONNA SEE ONE MORNING!

Thanks Everyone! Now let's nap!

Thanks to everyone for their kind words about Boo, we always have special places in our hearts for our passed on little loves! And I know Boo led me to Mr.Murphey cause he is the exact opposite of Ms. Boo!

Now on to Mr Murphs regularly scheduled post o rama!

Here is something I didn't have to teach the Riley man to do, he does just fine all on his own........

!!!!!SLEEPING!!!!!

It so much nicer to sleep with toys.

So worn out Riley can't even keep his tongue in his mouth!

Plumb tuckered out, yes I am!

Oh what a groggy face, get that freakin' camera outta my face, I'm tired.

So comfy under here........

And we even sleep in the same place sometimes!

Sleeping cheek to cheek! Butt cheek that is, hee hee!

Hey, how come Reilly gets to be on the couch and I'm down here?

Now this is the way is should always be, me on my table, and Reilly right where he belongs, below me!
Gotta go snooze now, this blogging today wore me out!

The Chasing Lesson

As all you pups out there know, I like to run, I like to be chased, I like to jump and twist and taunt other dogs with my super speedy feets. So it was time for the Reilly man to learn his number one job around here, to chase me. A good chase always starts with a taunt, so I grab the first thing that looks super tempting a super noisy water bottle. (k here: yeah, he grabbed my water bottle, he loves those things) I grabbed that bottle and then ran supper close to the Reilly man.

Come on DUDE, CHASE ME AND TRY TO GET THE WATER BOTTLE!!!!!!

Oh yeah, we're off! Look at him leaping after me, he sure can jump with those short legs!

Hey, No BITING!
Wow, you almost caught me, airborne Reilly! (Not aireborne, 'cuase we ain't Airedales!)
Wow, getting kinda close there.

Hey, whoa, don't just run around, chase me! Do you see me way in the top of the photo, towards the left? I'm watching him run AWAY from me. Doesn't he get it the game is chase, not run away!

Hey, nice form, crappy picture though!

Hey look, he can jump tall buildings with a single bound! Or at least jump up onto a deck 12 inches off the ground, GREAT JOB REILLY. Keep practicing and you'll be able to jump up on the couch in no time. Well, he mighta missed out on the part where he was supposed to be CHASING ME, but he sure does have good running form.

Relaxing with the Lady

Hey, thanks to everyone for their suggestions about giving Reilly the toys I don't want and then hiding the ones I want, then begging for MORE TOYS. It just might work, for now though I am looking oh so sad when Reilly takes a toy from me, then my lady gives me some lovin' and a treat, telling me "Good Murph". Thanks Joe for that suggestion, I get called Good Murphey, which didn't used to happen so much in the past....

One thing the lady and I used to do was have cuddle time every night on the couch. She laid down, I'd jump up and curl up and get some belly rubbin' time. Last night we decided to try it with the Reilly dog.

See how cute we are sitting on the lady's lap, happy, happy cuddle time-----

Hey, where you going little guy, lay down and relax!

Forget relaxin', it's FIGHT TIME! See the black and white, that's my ladies lap we are fightin' on. Cuddle time lasted about three seconds.
We got tired of fightin' each other so it was time to attack the lady's nose, HERE WE COME LADY!


Funny, after the attempt on my lady's nose cuddle time ended with us getting put off the couch, I don't get it!
