Walter's World blog is not "dead!!" I promise!!!My mama's been super duper busy and hasn't been keeping up with my blog very well.

However, I turned 3 years old on May 17th!!! Isn't that exciting?! Mama didn't throw me a birthday party this year, so I was a teeny tiny bit sad. But she promises she will get me a new toy and some cool treats, so it's all good up in the 'hood.

It means I'm 21 in dog years...Raleigh betta watch out! This puppy man is on the loose and reppin' the 919. For realz! I didn't get TOO inebriated on my birthday....::ahem:: Actually, I didn't drink at all you silly folks! I'm a dog!!! Mama would NEVER let me have alcohol. She's waaaaaay too cautious about my food/water intake. Oh well. She just loves me. ;)

Santa Paws!

My grandma thought it would be funny to get me a little Santa hat/beard last Christmas (2008), but this year, my mama took it to the limit. She actually bought me a Santa Suit!!! Aaaack!!!!

Take a look for yourself...I, for one, think the outfit is rather warm...but....er, well, I'm still a little shy in it!

Oh my! Mama hasn't updated this blog in quite some time...and she has a few things to share about me! She said she is working on a longer post, but in the mean-time she figured she'd remind her readers that they can check out the CUTEST puppy pictures ever on Flickr! My sister, Daisy and I are both featured in the photo set, but be sure to click on each picture if you'd like to see a larger view.

Toodles for now! ::waves paws:: =)

Two Year Anniversary: My Mama & Me =)

2009-08-09T18:51:00.003-04:00

August 2nd, 2009 marks the 2-year anniversary of my Mama and I being united! I used to live out in the country--Greenville, North Carolina to be exact--with my parents and brother and sister. Many of us dachshunds lived out there. We got to run around in HUGE field, chase each other, and eat puppy food. I heard some of the other doxies barking one afternoon, and everyone was moving around all frantically. Then, I saw my soon-to-be mama and grandma arrive. I didn't know she was going to be my mama, but she played with all of us and held us all for quite some time. She kept coming over to me, and to be honest, I kept running near her so she could see me. She picked me up and looked in my eyes, and from that moment on, I knew we were soulmates. Sounds cheesy, but it is true. She likes to say we "fell in love at first sight," and I agree! Mama looked at her Mama said, "I'll take him! He's going to be my Walter!"

Walter. Had a nice ring to it. My grandma later said that my full name would be Sir Walter Raleigh because their whole family is from Raleigh, and Mama always wanted to name her male black & tan doxie Walter.

Before heading to my new home, Mama stopped in this big store that had clothes, toys, and food for pups like me! It was so much fun (I think she said the name of it was PetSmart). Immediately, one of the store employees took a liking to me. But later, when we went to another store (Walmart I think?) to get a crate for me, this mean lady said no dogs were allowed in the store. Mama tried to explain the situation, that she was merely looking to see what size crate I needed, the mean woman still refused. So, I went to my new home afterwards and cuddled my mama all night long. I love sleeping in her bed! :)

My 2nd Birthday: Awesome-ness Galore

2009-05-21T10:49:00.005-04:00

My mama sure knows how to throw me an fabulous puppy birthday party! She surprised me with a cake that had pink sprinkles on it. She knows I'm quite boyish, but she couldn't help herself with the pink thrown in there...plus, I'm used to her lavender sheets/quilt, wall color, chairs, ya get the idea! :) Plus, Daisy enjoyed a lot of cake as well, but I ate more than half of it!

Mama kept wanting to pose for pictures before the cake was eaten, but I could hardly wait! I just wanted to get the Kodak moments over with and chow down! Anyways, I'm so glad Mama celebrated with me. She is the best ever! Her parents were there too and they love me 'cuz I'm their only grandson. :)

2nd Birthday coming up this Sunday (5/17)!

2009-05-12T20:54:00.003-04:00

Can you believe it? I will be all of 2 YEARS OLD!!! I will officially be 14 years old in dog years, meaning, I am still a mischievous, teen-aged pup. ;) Mama has been acting a little "secretive" around me, so I assume she must be hiding "birthday stuff" from me. She did buy me a new "baby" (my Ty "Weenie" doll that squeaks and crinkles) this Sunday when she took me to get my nails trimmed (I absolutely hate that...grrr...). Anyways, I'll keep you posted on birthday activities!

Love,

Mama's Birthday & Lovin' her bed.

2009-04-30T20:27:00.004-04:00

Mama just had her 25th birthday! Boy was I a happy camper though...several of her gifts were either for me, me and her, or just plain ABOUT me. Hehe. The girl can't help it--she loves me!

My delicious dog cookie! I shared it with Daisy :)

Kisses from mama. Her shirt says, "I kiss my dog on the lips." How true!

Mama's Gettin' a New Bed!

2009-04-20T14:03:00.004-04:00

I'm really super happy. This past weekend mama came home really excited and she said that she was getting a brand new bed! This is just somewhere new for us to cuddle =) The picture above illustrates just how much I love her bed!

Petsmart again!

2009-04-11T14:11:00.002-04:00

My mama took me to Petsmart earlier this afternoon and I got my nails clipped. We also got some awesome-tasting organic dog-food, for free!! Mama was really happy about that and I just loved the taste. Who cares about all this stuff I hear everyone talking about--money?!?

Update on my life

2009-04-10T14:19:00.004-04:00

So, I haven't posted on here in a really long time, but I decided that I absolutely MUST let you all know that I have a new best friend! Her name is Daisy and she is a 2-year-old Beagle that we adopted from the Wake County SPCA. Loving, sweet, playful, mischievous, and loving attention, this dog never has to worry about being homeless every again. Her family (my grandparents and my mama) give her all the love in the world. We play around, pretty rough at times!, but we know our limits. We give each other doggie kisses and love to sleep in my mama's (Laura) bed. She loves us and gives us lots of kisses...even on the lips!!! She brushes my teeth and gets me super cool bandannas (like my NCSU one) and gives me baths, all the while calling me her "Sugar Plum."

What more could I POSSIBLY ask for?
