Look at Me!

I found some pictures Mom took of me and I thought I'd show them to you.

This is me in my back yard. It's huge with 15 trees.

This is me on my back porch. It's nice and shady.

Here's me posing for the camera. I think I saw a squirrel making faces at me.

Mom took more pictures tonight with me and my new toys. I'll post them as soon as I can.

Oh Boy! New toys!

Mom came home last night with a surprise - new toys! I got a stuffed dog and lamb and they're really soft. The dog squeaks when you bite his butt, that's so cool. The lamb doesn't make any noise, but he's really comfy to cuddle with. He's just the right size for a pillow.

It felt like Christmas! Or, maybe it was my birthday? I can't remember when my birthday is. Or, maybe it's just cuz I'm such a good dog. Yeah, that's probably it.

Now I've got Duck, Cow, Dog, Lamb and Ball. I'm the luckiest dog in the world!

Stunt Dogs

I found a great video starring the best animals in the world - DOGS!




We got some snow last night, it was fun rolling around in it too, but these dogs look like they're having more fun. How great would it be to train as a stunt dog? I could star in movies as an action hero.

New Neighbors

I had another great weekend. My aunt and cousin came to hang out this weekend. We watched movies, played with Duck and took a ride in the car. It was great. We even got pizza. I love pizza.

It's funny how mom always thinks everyone comes to visit her. I mean, it seems pretty obvious to me that they come to visit me. They talk to me when they come in the door. I get scratched behind the ears, not her. And do they throw Duck or Cow for her to chase? NO. But, I don't want to hurt her feelings, so I let her think they came to see her too because it would be lonely to think that no one comes to visit you. I mean, it's the nice thing to do, right?

In addition to all the fun we had Saturday and Sunday, I found we have new neighbors living in the back yard. They're pretty too. You get used to the squirrels and robins, but this weekend a Blue Jay, Cardinal and Grackle all moved in. They're not as much fun to chase as the squirrels, but they do look nice. I found some pictures to show you. The Grackle seems a little spooky, freaky eyes and all, but the other birds seem nice.


I heard the radio say it's the first day of spring today, but it doesn't feel like it. It's raining hard little balls of ice right now and the sun is still asleep. I hope spring does come soon, I miss the rabits and turtles. They're fun to play with. It gets boring with just the squirrels, especially when they tease so much.

Snow, snow, go away, come again another day... like eight months from now.

Canine Brothers Unite

Apparently there are people out there known as 'Cat Lovers'.
Apparently these people take offense at having their feline roommates being compared to rodent's relatives.
Apparently these people are weird.

I suppose that's kind of harsh. There might be some cats out there that are worth while. Mom's friend has a cat that's rumored to be pretty cool - although I've never met Cricket. My aunt has one called Missy, She's a psycho cat - sweet one minute and wild the next - but she's okay. I have to give her props too, because she's the only cat I know that can bark like a dog. She must be smart enough to realize that dogs have got it going on.

Mom says I shouldn't be so judgemental, that some cats are really great. She used to have one as a kid and she dressed him up in doll clothes and he never scratched her.

He sounds like a pussy to me.

I wouldn't put up with that 'dress-up' bit. I've seen a few of those unlucky few out there that still get forced to wear silly hats and sweaters. Did you know there are actually stylists for these sad pups? They put bows in their hair and paint their toenails and and make them where frilly pink things. And I'm not talking about just the girls. There are canine brothers out there suffering. I mean check out these pictures!




















Why don't they revolt? Seriously, raise a paw if you feel me here. Canine brothers unite! Put an end to this embarassing travesty. Shake off those duds and become a real dude!

I sure am glad mom outgrew that phase.

Purpose of a Cat

I finally found out what cats are for. I've never understood what good they were other than for the exercise of chasing them. They're stuck up and weird looking. In fact, I think they might be related to squirrels.

Anyway, I was surfing today and I found this ad for cat massage. Now I get it. I think I'll have to ask mom to get me one. I could stand this kind of treatment all day.

Cruisin'

Mom took me cruisin' Saturday night. Man what a night! Cool, crisp air and twinkling stars. The wind blowing through my ears. The scents of people, food and wild things. Plus, I got the whole back seat to myself, so I had TWO windows rolled down for me. We spent at least an hour in the car and she even scratched my ears when the car was stopped. Thank goodness for those red-light thingys.

When we got home, I got a belly rub and part of her dinner.

What a night!

Action Movies

Mom went to see a movie called 'Eight Below' the other day. She loved it. She's told me all about the adventure and action of the eight sled dogs that get stranded in Antarctica for over a hundred days. She made it sound so good I decided to look it up. Now that I've seen the pictures, I want to go to the movies too.

It's about time they come out with an action movie that a dog can enjoy. Usually dog movies are all about touchy - feely stuff. Like Benji or Old Yeller. They were good, but I want a little more 'pack action' - and I'm not talking about the 101 Dalmations kind. That's puppy stuff. There have been some attempts at action movies before. The Air Bud series was good, even if it was fluff. At least there was a little action.

Eight Below though, I'm telling ya Dawg. It's got it all. Emotion, drama, action, humor, suspense. It's even got a hot little silver furred girl playing the lead dog.

All I can say is she'd better buy this movie soon so we can watch it together.
