Letters from Lilly: Things that go squeak

Ugh, Kelli has been SUCH a blog-hog lately. And I KNOW that you've all been just dying to hear from me, but goodness it's been busy. First off Christmas was great, I got to see Pepper and eat turkey and play with all sorts of people. I got a new toy for a present...a weasel ball. Now I'm not so sure about the whole ball part. I mean it was weird and moved and tried to get my paws, so I barked at it and then ignored it. But then Kelli felt bad and cut off the Weasel part and now it is SOOOOO AWESOME! I have my very own weasel! Just like the one at Bruce and Cindy's, YAY! It is the best thing ever. And just last week I got another new squeaky toy, a squirrel. But this is soo much better than the bunny (who doesn't squeak anymore...Kelli says I loved the squeaker to death, but I think she broke it when she put it in the washer.) and the ferret (who's squeaker I am trying to sneak out so I can just play with that part) because it has TWO squeakers. One in the tail and one in it's back. I can squeak in surround sound.

Also I finally got my fur cut. I mean jeeze what does it take, an act of Congress? I mean seriously, look at this...


What self-respecting Schnauzer looks like that! I was almost ready to make the appointment myself, except the receptionist at the groomer's office isn't proficient in Dogese, knowing her I'd have ended up on the schedule for a flea dip instead of a trim. But now I'm all cut and gussied up...

...and looking WAY cuter. But thinking about how cold I've been since I got my cut, maybe it was a good thing that Kelli was being so slow...if I didn't have any fur it would have been miserable during that cold snap a few weeks ago. Anyway, I'm not sure what's up with the photography, seriously this isn't glamour shots...Kelli can do better, but apparently I'm to much of a "pain" to take pictures of because I "move". Whatever.

In January Tim had a LAN party at our house, he had 8 guys with computers crammed in the office and living room. It was crazy and I of course got shafted and had to be penned in the bedroom, but I got my revenge I slobbered all over his pillow and one of the guys gave me a pizza crust (shhh don't tell!) Kelli was supposed to go to a knitting day, but her friend got sick so Kelli went shopping and then spent the night with me in the bedroom. Actually, Tim just had ANOTHER party last weekend, but this one was somewhere else so it meant pizza, cookie dough and movies on the sofa with Kelli, much more fun for everyone.

Well that's all the decent news, I don't know what Kelli writes about here...it all looks insanely boring. But whatever, I help out where I can.

Take Care,

~Lilly

Note from Kelli: Someone who shall remain nameless is not cooperative when the camera comes out, all she wants to do is sit in the exact same position. She apparently has no faith in my ability to do action shots.
