Latest news...

I've seen it all now. My hoomans have just been having a good laugh at a website showing a swimming pool for DOGS!! It has lots of programs including puppy swim lessons (when did dogs lose the ability to swim without learning?) doggy fitness (because apparently making contact with the ground is bad for our legs) Since when? Why do we have legs then? The water is 85 degrees and from the look of the videos, the dogs shown didn't look exactly happy to be in such a hot, wet situation. Some even wore life vests...again I ask you, when did dogs lose the ability to swim or float? If God wanted us to float, we would inflate at the touch or our tail or something wouldn't we? Heavens above! What kind of culture is this I ask you? Have we lost our marbles? Do you know that half the world lives on less than a dollar a day and there are places where children don't have clean drinking water or food, clothes, or hot pools to swim in, yet here in North America, we dogs have heated pools, baths, food, fresh water fountains, clothes (again...when did we dogs lose the ability to keep warm or waterproof?) and a lot of other nonsense, when half the world is starving and dying for lack of what we have. Even I know that, and I'm just a dog. Yep...did you get that? I'm JUST A DOG..a mutt, a canine, an animal...one that doesn't need namby pamby clothes or drinking fountains, strollers, hot water swim pools or anything else! We dogs have dignity...let us keep it!

And did you know you can buy doggy Star Wars costumes? I ask you...a dog with Yoda ears..whatever next?

Oh, and I ate my new halti collar today...I have only worn it once...it's a smart little device that stops me pulling. Thing is, you hoomans didn't think I was that smart did you...so you wasted your $20 on that didn't you...cos I ate it (and threw up twice today too!) It was great!

WEEKLY NEWS!

What a week I've had! I lost my first two teeth this week! I was a bit disappointed that the Dog Fairy didn't come in the night and leave me a treat in exchange for my teeth though.
Then, That Cat tried to attack me for no reason, and the Kimberley pup rushed in to save me and got a scratched, bloody hand as a result of that Evil Cat. Poor Kimberley Pup. I licked and kissed her hand clean several times. Her sacrifice means a lot to me.
Yesterday I got neutered. All these weeks when I heard the hoomans talking about it, I thought it was something fun and exciting. I was wrong. Certain bits of me are sore and swollen, or even missing! And I came back from the vet with an ear infection, so now they have to squeeze drops right down into my ears twice a day. Not fun. The vet tried to put a cone on me to protect my 'missing' bits, but I destroyed it in minutes. So at least I don't have to wear that thing. It would ruin my "street cred"
My Mum is taking me for a run now (or maybe a walk as I'm not sure my missing parts should run) !

BACK FROM VET

I'm back from the vet and my legs are just sprained or bruised. So I am OK. Phew! I get to keep my dog doo bags, stinky bed and treats after all! I am limping a bit but it will get better. They also booked me in to be neutered next Friday. I might be limping again after that for different reasons....

OOPS!

I have just done a silly thing, and now my leg hurts :(

After going out in the rain and the mud this morning, I was put on the deck for a little while until my feet were dry and clean (then I get to come in). Well, today, that Evil Cat was tormenting me near the deck, so I climbed up to get a better view, and then decided to JUMP over the deck to get to that cat. Oops. I landed on the lower steps far below, but I hurt myself, and now I am limping. They are taking me to the vet this afternoon....

Now I'm scared. If this is my last post, I want you to know that I love you all and I'm leaving my dog doo bags to Fergus across the street. I'm leaving my squeaky balls to the Cat just to annoy her; my stinky bed to anyone who wants it; my big bowl to the hoomans to make pie in, and my fold up fabric travel bowl to Teddy down the road, who seems to be a thirsty dog. I'm leaving my bacon and cheese treats to Jonathan because he likes bacon and cheese; my pupperoni treats to Stuart because he likes pepperoni; my milk bones to Kim because she likes milk, and my stuffy dog with one eye to my mum, to remind her of me....

PS. I have a confession too. I ate the cat's catnip.

Note from Editor: It's really not that bad, and I think he's just sprained his leg. I'm sure Timmy will be back to normal in no time!!!

Posh poop!

My good friends Andy and Anna have given me some designer dog poop bags! They are my FAVOURITE thing! They are called "doo n go" and are environmentally friendly! It's a tiny pouch with a roll of cute green bags that you pull out of the bottom, and the whole thing attaches to my lead! How cool is that? Pooping is a pleasure now, and I think we have the best waste management in town. Thank you Andy and Anna! (If you want to try your gift, you can pick up my poop at any time....you may have to join the line up though because I'm sure everyone will want to use those cute bags.....)

TRANSGRESSIONS!! I have been doing a few naughty things lately! I think they are called transgreshuns or something. (I learned that from TV) The other day, I escaped from my lead on the driveway, and even though my mum asked me to stop, I bolted like a bullet and went for a run all by myself! There is so much world out there to discover....I couldn't help it! I ran down Darwin St in o.01 seconds, dodging cars and having a WONDERFUL time until a car stopped and someone jumped out and caught me! My mum came puffing down the street as red as a beetroot. She said she was embarrassed, and that I had disobeyed. She took me home and said she will have to keep me on a firm lead, or tied up if I am going to do that. I do love my mum and family, but I am so interested in exploring the world!

Then, the other night I somehow dislodged the power source for the alarm system, so that it was on back up power all night, and it went off at 5am (on a Saturday) You should have seen my people...running bleary eyed in their pyjamas trying to figure out what was going on....it was quite funny, and quite accidental!

I think I am in the dog house.....

PHOTO SHARE ALBUM

I went tobogganing yesterday (for real...it was my favourite thing!) The hoomans took pictures and have them on something called Shaw Photo Share. Follow this link to see them. The password is "dog" (what else?)
