17/Jan/17 can't I just sleep?

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

The Big Guy decided that he would stay home another day from work.  He is trying to get better after getting this cold.  Well, he was going to go to work, but Tonya heard him coughing and told him, he really should stay home.  So he did.

He didn't go outside the house since Thursday of last week.  Even I went outside.  Not him, he stayed inside and under blankets.  But he seems determined to go to work today.

He did bake my non-furry mommy a cake though.

It is a marble cake.  Tonya said that it was very moist and since they don't eat a lot of sweets at home, she is going to be taking the rest of the cake to work.

Tonya would normally have wanted to go out for supper, but instead, they ordered in.  They ordered food from this restaurant called "The Black Spoon".  The Big Guy ordered ribs.  He said that he can do better.  Tonya ordered this Cajun Seafood item.  The Big Guy seen the mussel shells in the sink.  He knows that this is there signature item.  He ordered Seafood Chowder a few years ago, and the mussel were arranged in a circle, in the shell.  He wasn't happy about that.  He was speaking with someone else and they had also commented about the mussel not being out of the shell.

I guess he just doesn't understand food presentation.

Bye bye for now.

16/Jan/17 My non-furry mommy is 51 today

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

So this is a game I like to play.  

The Big Guy will go downstairs and he will call to me.  I will ignore him.  He will only call me a few times.  Then he gives up and walks away.  

Then I will go to the bedroom and bug Tonya.  She gets up and brings me downstairs where she will put up the baby gate so that I can't go back upstairs.

Everyone seems to be complaining about how cold it is outside.  Well we do live in Canada and it does get cold here.  Spring will soon be here and I will be shedding my winter fur.

Yesterday Tonya went around the house with the vacuum.  She picked up a LOT of my fur.  She also found my lost toys.  I have this rubber ball that I couldn't squeak before.  Well, now that I am bigger, I can certainly crush it in my mouth and it squeaks.

Then she also found my giggle ball. I chased that around the living room a few times and lost it under the couch.  She got it a few more times and then gave up.

Well, the Big Guy is going to go make something for Tonya's breakfast.  Gotta go incase he makes something for me too!

Bye bye for now.

15/Jan/17 I am KING of the castle

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

So as you can see by the picture, the humans can't have the bench close to the railing.  Otherwise, I am pretty sure that I would jump over the railing and go exploring.

I found Tonya's cell phone charger cord and decided to chew on it a bit.  So far, she can still use the charger cord.  But if I get the charger cord again...  well...  we will see who is going to win.

The Big Guy doesn't have a replacement cord for that phone.  So it is important that Tonya keep this cord away from me.

Then, this morning, I was chewing away on my bone, when Tonya come downstairs to get me and brought me upstairs.  I have chewed on some of the wood work around the house.  So she was worried that I was chewing on the coffee table.  I wasn't.  BUT I could have been chewing on it.

Now I am in the bedroom and they are both in bed.  Well, I needed to chew, so I was chewing on my blanket.  But of course, I had to rip at it a bit.  That got Tonya's attention and I was put in the kennel.

I wonder what I will find next to chew on.

Bye bye for now.

14/Jan/17 look way up, and I will call Rusty

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

I don't know who said "A dog can't look up". I am looking up.  Perhaps they meant something else.  People are weird.

So the Big Guy is still feeling sick.  He is all sniffles and snot.  Yesterday he kinds slouched on the couch, covered himself with a blanket and watches movies.  When I say he watched movies, that is a big of a lie.  He would sleep, wake up, sleep again, wake up, fall asleep again.  Why didn't he just go upstairs and go to bed?

Tonya had to go to work.  I am sure she would have liked to stay home.  But she has to get money so that she can buy my food.

It got cold again.  Yesterday it was +8 and today it is -10.  Why does the weather do that?  I heard the Big Guy say that he wishes he lived in place where it was warm all the time.  He said that the air hurts his face when he goes outside in the cold.

BUT when it is cold out, the mosquitoes are not around.  So that is a win, right?

I gotta go.  The Big Guy wants to use the computer.

Bye bye for now.
