I'm sweet (potato) on you

Today was a fun day, it started off at grandma's house where I harassed her household until dad picked me up. Once dad and I got home, he thought he'd try something new. See dad wants to work on the front yard (see yesterday's blog for more details), and decided he was going to attempt to tie me down to the front yard. I would be supervised at all times of course, however I don't think dad thought this all through. The theory is that I would behave and just sit there while he made the lawn pretty. Oh silly daddy, I have the attention span of a flea, this plan was doomed to fail. How can I be expected to be still when the neighborhood was buzzing with energy...and oh man when the mailman goes by...well I just loooove him!! I think he should carry me in his bag, we'd have great fun. So needless to say, dad didn't get to work on the lawn today. One point to the pug...my overgrown lawn lives another day.
Once mom came home from work I was super happy. She brought me home a treat! She opened this can from Trader Joe's (she goes there like all the time) and gave me this yummy spoon full of orangey stuff. At first I thought it was going to be pumpkin, which as a young pup I liked but I have lost the taste for, but it wasn't. This was sweet and yummy and a little messy on my muzzle. I was excited to try it, and I didn't want it to end. Mom what is this new delicacy I asked...sweet potato puree and I get pretty much as much as I want. So I was excited to hear that my KONG will now contain some and when mom thinks I need a little treat. She said we'll freeze some in the summer so I get sweet potato cubes. Finally, something to curb my sweet tooth.
