A Mean Lady Tried (and failed both times) to Assault Mom at the Dog Park

MarMar here. The mean lady tried to assault mom at Clinton Township Dog Park today. Don’t get excited. That’s a minor event in mom’s life. No damage done. She’s not even upset about it but she is pissed at the cop because he was useless.

Lots of stuff happened so I’m just gonna give you the Cliff’s Notes version, which is still very long. Mom was there for at least 3 hours.

Mom went to the…

MarMar here. If it weren’t for the fact that you have to catch me in the act for me to get in trouble, I’d be in trouble.

This is what remains of dad’s earbuds. I did this because mom is busy working on a dad project so she’s not paying a lot of attention to me.

She plays with me about an hour a day but I have no new toys. Mom was very clear with dad that even though he’s tired from…

Mud and Fun in the Dog Park

MarMar here. Mom and dad took me to the dog park today. Played rough, as usual. It was really fun.

I, of course, had to misbehave. A couple times I grabbed the skin on another dog’s neck and wouldn’t let go. The first time mom told me to sit and I obeyed immediately. She was impressed. So was I. The next few times she had to physically pull me off. THEN I decided it would be fun to grab the…

I’m Finally Allowed to Play Rough with Dad

MarMar here.

Today dad and me played rough, wrestling on the floor.

Mom still hasn’t figured out how to set the shutter speed on the camera so the picture is a little blurry. I mentioned it to her and she told me unless I wanted to pay a professional photographer I’d better shut the hell up. She’s rude like that. I tolerate it because she gives me treats.

Did you notice anything…

That Was a Turn Off

Marmar here. Today I got scared of the vacuum so I barked at it and bit it. Then I remembered I’d finished reading “The Art of War” last night so I took a page from that book and turn the vacuum off. Battle won.

Then I hid upstairs. Sun Tzu was a genius.

Wonder how that book would work as a marriage guide?

Marmar ici. Aujourd’hui, j’ai eu peur du vide, j’ai donc aboyé et mordu. Puis…

I Have My Limits and Mom is Pushing Them

MarMar here. She’s going way too far with this vacuum crap. As you can see, I’m not liking this. This time I had a few words to say about it.

Marmar ici. Elle va trop loin avec cette merde sous vide. Je n’aime pas ça. Cette fois, j’ai eu quelques mots à dire à ce sujet.

Pulling the cord out.

Tirant le cordon.

She turned it on with the pole and floor brush attached. That was mean.

Still Working on the Vacuum

MarMar here. Dad is complaining that mom is using too many treats to teach me to be comfortable with the vacuum. Naturally, we ignore him.

Mom here. MarMar doesn’t know it yet, but I’m turning the vacuum on for a second before I put it away. It’s not going to go well but we’ll work on it.

Marmar ici. Papa se plaint que maman utilise trop de gâteries pour m’apprendre à être à l’aise…

Mom here.

Still working on creating indestructible toys. Gingerbread Man Prototype #2 is stronger than Prototype #1 and is expected to last much longer. Please check the pics for details.

Game on!

BRING IT MARMAR!

Maman ici.

Travaille toujours à la création de jouets indestructibles. Le prototype 2 de l’homme en pain d’épice est plus résistant que le prototype n 1 et devrait…

MarMar here. Lately I’ve been focusing on getting adequate rest. I need good, quality sleep in order to remain healthy and active.

Mom knows this is important to me. I’ve told her numerous times and she knows I bought a fitness tracker to monitor and log my sleep.

Last night she woke me up in the middle of my REM stage because she wanted the spot I was sleeping in. It’s a king size bed. She…

I’m Scared of the Monster in the Closet

MarMar here. Mom and dad are conspiring against me. Dad is trying to feed me to a monster. I’m afraid. It’s red and black and gray and loud and it’s trying to suck me up. I don’t know what will happen to me if it suceeds. It’s mouth is very small and I’m sure I won’t fit. I’m afraid it’s gonna hurt and I don’t know what will happen to me after I get eaten.

Dad operates the evil monster and I…

I Was a Bad Girl

MarMar here. Mom said I was a bad girl today. She and dad took me to the park. There were lots of dogs and we were all having fun. Dogs were coming and going and all was well.

About an hour after I arrived a lady brought in a big Rottweiler. He was a very gentle dog and I decided to pick on him. I didn’t listen when mom called me so she grabbed my collar and pulled me away.

The Rottweiler…
