The Santana Chronicles

Hey guys! Don’t worry! I’m still a pup! It has been a crazy holiday time for me!

Look at all the things I’ve been in to:

I know…it’s exciting! I’m working hard on my New Year’s resolution for “More Sleep!”, so I’m off to get back to that.  Coming up: a recap of my most recent stay at PetSmart!

Guys guys guys!! Guess what!! I’m Santana! And I’m a puppy! AND I’m a member of the Dog Time Network!!  I’m a Dog Time Blog Star!!! Could this day get any more exciting??

The Dog Time Network is a great network of bloggers who love dogs, bloggers who know dogs, bloggers who ARE dogs (ME!).  This is AWESOME!  I’m really excited to be a part of this network and can’t wait to connect to other puppies around the internet and enjoy the dog fun!

To celebrate my new Dog Time status, I decided I needed a new Summer dress! It was a gorgeous weekend and we went to the dog park (where I successfully avoided all other dogs and got to spend some time all by myself in the park) and then we walked around Green lake.  The path around the lake is about 3 miles long, but when you zig and zag back and forth the entire time, I estimate that you walk at least twice that distance! How fun to be a puppy like me!!

The wonderful weather really made me want a dress, and we searched high and low in all the fancy boutiques around town.  The one we decided upon was actually at Target!! Hooray for Target finally updating their puppy clothing selection! Look how pretty I am!!

In other excitement, at the beginning of May, Mallory’s parents are coming to visit!! I used to live with them sometimes and I rode with Mallory’s dad across the country to come to Seattle!!

THEN at the beginning of August, one of Mallory’s best friends from KY is coming to visit for two weeks!! This is super exciting because this friend is the one who bought me and gave me to Mallory for a graduation present three years ago!! And she hasn’t seen me since I was a tiny tiny tiny baby puppy, like this:

She will be stunned to see how big I, Santana, have grown!! Get ready for fun!  She is almost done with Vet school right now, so she knows all about how to take care of puppies like me! I will show HER how to run in big circles and it will be glorious!

Last excitement! Dori is giving away a doormat! A doormat! Guys these are hilarious! About DOGS!!!!!

Mallory was initially against puppies all dressed up, but I’m a big fan of bandanas (after a bath!) and there are some days when a girl just needs a new shirt….

"I’m So Happy I Could Pee"

Hey, I think I found something…let me just dig it out…

Look!! A rock!!

All in all, a great day for a pink shirt!

Here is Freckles’s reaction to the whole thing…

not so amused….

she chose to sit this one out in her house…

(and she looks a little drunk, huh?)

Crazy old lady, but I love her!
