Sleepy laps

You know you really get along with someone when you can cuddle up right there in their lap after only knowing each other a few hours. This is my turkey day nap.

frisbee woes

Do you ever get frustrated when a frisbee is flipped over and you can't flip it back no matter how hard you claw at it?


wasn't sure if that happened to everyone or just me.

Holy Peanut!

One of my owners got pulled over by a cop this morning for running a red light. Now me, I run around my backyard freely and rarely ever get a warning let alone a ticket so not sure what her deal was.

In the case that I was pulled over I doubt I would sit quietly if an officer tried to approach me. You should have seen what I did to a fireman who stopped by collecting change for charity. Nearly barked his head off! Something about a guy in uniform that gets me extra barky.

Budget

We're thinking about moving, which means we'll all be on a really tight budget for the next few months. Yes, even me. I saw some post-it notes and that's what I'm allotted.

If I' m a bit more grumpy than usual you'll know why. $$$$$

Plus there is talk I won't be allowed to come to the condo unless I lose weight, learn how not to bark or shed my dogness and can pass as a toddler. This is not looking good for me.

So I didn't get the turkey...

no turkey, no stuffing, no deviled egg. I was robbed.

That said, I did sneak a piece of salami yesterday, a bit o egg this morning and even some crusty old bread left over from a late night sandwich.

I guess the lesson I learned was every day is Thanksgiving day for me and to be thankful for my abundances even if they don't include a drumstick.

Pics from the holiday weekend coming soon! Hope your bellies are doing well.

Giving Thanks

Most the time I'm growly, itchy and licky, but tomorrow is one day I'll be thankfully. And since I hope to spend most of my time begging for turkey and snatching up crumbs of stuffing I thought I should give my thanks now.

I'm thankful for...

Jeremy, he's a wonerful owner

belly scratches

My friends Laura, Sara, Bobby, Aaron, Adam, Cindy, Terry, CP and CP's owners

lamb and rice

scraps on the floor

days it doesn't rain

my couch

walks and truck rides

my bucket of toys

and....most of all....easy access to my backyard

paw lickin good

I ate chicken off the bone for breakfast this morning.

I was in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun Fact: Colonel Sanders didn't start KFC until he was in his mid-sixties. That means there is still hope for all of us middle aged pups out there with big ideas and even bigger bellies.

Pampered Pooch

I was doing my daily reading (which usually includes US Weekly, Life & Style and Dog Fancy). Anyhow, came across a new line of beauty products from Juicy Couture for the pampered pooch. nailpolish, perfume (achoo!) and more.

I kinda want this stuff but I think it would only accentuate the fact that I'm not too dainty. Any thoughts?

????

I may be a little rough around the edges when it comes to bathroom etiquette (been known to drink from the toliet, been known to sniff out other doggies' doo doo, you get the picture), but even I wouldn't design such an unusual toy. Introducing the plush poo & pee dolls.

Modeling...is there a future?

Word on the street is my paw pal CP (aka coco puff) is thinking about modeling. He's starting off with a doggie calendar shoot held at his local park in Chicago and I'm certain, will be moving on to bigger and better things in no time.

My questions is could I also be a good candidate? Is there a need for plus-sized dog models?

Me vs. CP

Me - 7 years old. Big belly. Underbite / Overbite. Doesn't play well with others. Graying.

CP - In his prime (2 - 3 years old). Skinny as a rail. Beautiful shiny fur. White teeth. Real friendly.

not my hero

Guitar Hero has invaded our house. Suddenly everyone is a heavy metal headbanger and I am left utterly confused. The electronic keyboard I could handle. Sure it wasn't the coolest but at least I could play a few notes with my paw. This guitar is far too difficult.

Just when you think the wii can not get any worse. It does. I mean it wiiiilly wiiilly does.

Teeth Issues

I'm not the only one with an underbite...or is it overbite? Come back soon D!

The best weekend

I had house guests in this weekend it was really one of the best weekends ever! They played with me for hours on end, they petted me, they took me for walks AND they fed me cheetos. So all and all pretty good weekend.

Sure they commented on my obesity but then again who doesn't?

Pics to come soon!

Happy Home

He's Home. She's Home. My puppy heart is finally at piece.

Things I do when I am happy:

- Eat all my food

- Don't mess on the kitchen floor

- Play with giraffe head and all other toys

- Lick lots of faces and wag my small nub tail til it almost falls off!

Lapping up Luxury

When the water bowl just won't do...I need this.

Woof Water,

Whenever the collapse of Western civilization comes up, it’s always blamed on hedonism or TV or R-rated movies. But what’s also to blame is our approach to pet ownership. Not only do we insist on clothing these animals, which are usually covered in fur already, but we spoil them with designer products. For example, Avery’s Beverages is coming out with a new bottled water for dogs called “Woof Water.” What the target market here doesn’t know is that there already is a water for dogs. It’s called water. Look it up on Wikipedia. On the plus side, “a portion of proceeds from Woof Water sales will go to the Our Companions Domestic Animal Sanctuary,” which is committed to ending the euthanasia of healthy animals. I support this wholeheartedly. Save that precious bye-bye juice for people who buy Woof Water.

Perfecto

In a perfect world ...

I'd have a doggie door and could go in and out as I pleased.

I'd have a chauffeur to take me for rides around the block.

I could reach the high shelf where the snacks are stashed.

halloween night

You think you had a scary halloween night? I was locked out in the backyard with the ghost of Cinammon and a full moon.

Sure they gave me a twizzler and a few nerds when i got back inside...trust me. it wasn't worth it.

Fame is a b*tch, and so am i (it's okay.technically I am)

I've gone international!
