Hey, everyone, it's me Ozzie. That darn Sophie has been stealing the lime light lately, so I thought I would give you an update on how I am getting along. She is a trial to live with, but I am coping pretty well. As you can see from the picture above (don't I look dapper?), I still have my sense of humor. I am sitting on the back of my favorite chair, where Nicole lets me lie if I promise not to drool or nibble on the leather. She keeps putting these quilts on top and I have to say they are pretty comfy. Sophie is outside chasing birds, so I have a minute to chat with you all.
Oh man. Just when I start to get really cozy, Sophie has to jump up and horn in on my space. That's her on the left, trying to nudge me right off my spot. I tell you, she is so pushy. Did any of you have a younger brother or sister who always had to being doing whatever you were doing? Well, then you know how it is for me. She follows me everywhere. I can hardly get away from her to hide my bones and toys like I like to do. I do have a few secret spots in the yard she doesn't know about though. When my hidden treasures get nasty enough, I will dig them up and won't she be jealous?
So, she got my spot on my favorite chair. That's ok. I can find something else to do, like watch Dennis get ready for work. He puts this white stuff on his face and then scrapes it off again. It makes him looks very strange. He put some of it on my nose once, and I could smell it all day long. People are so odd.
Nicole spends a heck of a lot of time sitting here looking into this thing. I wonder what she sees in it? Seems kinda boring to me. Wait, maybe if I push these buttons, something will happen.... Whoops!
All in all, things aren't too bad. I have to say that despite the pesky little sister, I do get my share of loving around here. They keep telling me there is enough love to go around so everyone gets their fair share, and I guess it's true. Love it when they rub my neck. Yawn. Time for a little shut eye. So long for now.
Awww, how cute is that? Love this post.

Nicole . . . you should write a book with this and publish it . . . something like "The Life of Ozzie" . . . it would be wonderful !!
didn't Barbara Bush publish a book written from her dog's perspective when they lived in the White House . . .
DO IT GIRL!!

Oh my goodness....look at the one photo when Sophie joins Ozzie....I thought it was her on right! See that GREEN eye! Evil...I thought I was going to read some more evil. Thank goodness....gotta love a good story from Ozzie!

Oh, Ozzie: You are just the sweetest little man. I wish you could come and play with my little Maggie. But then she'd drive you crazy, too. It's tough being the big brother. Yesterday, my youngest grandson was driving his big brother just crazy. So it's the same in humans with two legs as it is with "humans" with four paws.
Nicole: what would we do without our children with fur?

Awwwwwww...so glad to hear from Ozzie. Looks like he and Sophie are doing much better. Just tell him to be sure his secret hiding places stay secret. Little sister's have a way of sneaking up on you when your not looking. Big scratches to both Ozzie and Sophie. Thanks Nicole for a fun update. Now I'm waiting for Ozzies post from his turn at the computer to show up. Or maybe he was sending a note to President Obama concerning his choice of White House pets!!! Hmmmm....

Hey OZ! Have patients with the youngest, they tend to be a bit of a trial. . .I know I have a younger brother and even at 42 he still acts 3 on occasion! You're the cutest little guy ever, enjoy that much needed nap. Ask Nicole to give your a big smooch from me!

Oh, now isn't that just the sweetest? Ozzie, you're a real charmer.

Hi Ozzie, you need to post on your Mom's blog more often! I'm glad to hear that you are doing ok. . .I was a little concerned when Sophie was in all the pictures.
Make sure to keep your secret hiding place hidden. . .it's bad enough Sophie took over your place on the couch!
Posted by: Sherry | May 12, 2009 at 03:15 AM
Good dog, Ozzie! You're such a cutie-pie and we're all so glad you're a happy boy! I have a funny doggie who hides her "good stuff" too! She even buries doggie treats at picnic areas in nearby Yellowstone Nat'l Park!! (we always wonder if a lucky coyote happens by and finds those)! You look great, Ozzie--keep us posted!

Oh joy, an Ozzie update, finally. I sure was missing him. I was afraid that he decided to run away and you weren't telling us about it.
