I hate posing

On the road again, just can't wait to get on the again. Has a good ring to it doesn't it? Maybe I should make it into a song. ::Lilo, Willie Nelson already did, and you probably just violated some copyright:: What's a copyright? ::nevermind. Proceed.:: Thank you I will. I'm blogging on the road currently, I haven't updated my blog because SOMEBODY (Arf, Alpha, arf) ::I HEARD THAT!!:: has been taking a tail-load of pictures in the park. (HERE's the link to his site. Wait, did I just plug his site?? I'm succumbing to the corporate monstrosity!! Aacch!) All I hear is sit there, look here, stop that, don't do this, come back here, leave the biker alone, don't eat that flower. Blah blah BLAH. Can't we just RUN?! Or chase birds?! And roll in stinky mud?! Like a blind dog, without a home, I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone. Hey that's got a good ring to it too. ::That's Bon Jovi, I'm not leaving the radio on for you any more::

Alpha took me to see his friend Mason's pack Saturday. That guy had big bumps on his chest, stomach, and arms. Weird. I wasn't allowed to play with his pack (Tyson, TJ, Tec, and Female) because they would have eaten me.
Then Sunday we went to see Ben's new pack member Nala (from the Lion King!). She was scared of me, can you believe it?! Scared of me!! ::you did chase her around and bark at the cat:: IT WAS A CAT!! A vile feline!
Sef wanted me to give him a shoutout, but he ate Alpha's Dairy Queen Blizzard so I may poo in his shoe instead.
Time for me to go, but Elton John 'taught me that friends never say, never say goodbye' ::SERIOUSLY!? You're bustin out Elton John? I'm taking your iPod:: oh yeah??!! You can't touch this, duuuun dunna da, da da, da da .

Swimming Lessons

Another action packed weekend for me, hoomans! I'm still lethargic today. I need a catnap. ::GASP:: NO! I didn't mean it! Cats are vile creatures! I need a dognap! Ok sorry.

Ok so Alpha met up with Ben, Aaron, another doggie who's name escapes me, (I think it was really a fish...) and Lizard ::Lilo, her name is Liz:: But you called her::Nevermind what I called her! Her name is Liz!!:: FINE. Ben, Aaron, doggie, and LIIIIIIIZ (:P at Alpha) ::put that tongue back in your mouth, missy::
SOOO Alpha met up with them to kaak at a lake. The other dog just wanted to swim (a FISH I tell you!) so the only way I could play was to brave the waterstuff. I decided to hitch a ride on Alpha's kaak, and then when we were a fair distance away he said it was time for me to learn and PUSHED me in! Being the super brilliant learner that I am i figured out how to stay afloat ::I think you still need some work on technique, you looked like a cat trying to swim :) ha:: YOU TAKE THAT BACK!! I AM NOT A CAT!

Here I am learning:

 

Note the pure concentration on my face. Here's one of me doing the Shakity Shake Dance:

Before long I'll be a sailor! Alpha says I get my own PFD when I get bigger. I don't know what that is but it's supposed to make me "legit" when we go paddle!
As my friend Dori says, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."

Dog Holiday!!

As I'm sure you all know, tomorrow (March 3rd) is What If Dogs and Cats Had Opposable Thumbs Day (check out the link on the right for a list of more doggie days). I wish they'd take the cats out of it, the vile creatures. I digress. I thought it would be fun to imagine a full day if I had thumbs. So, here we go.
My first action would be to let myself out of that den I'm in all day. It seems pretty simple, just grab the lever, lift, slide, and I'm FREEEEEEEEEE. Unfortunately, I can't reach the doorknobs, so I'll have to entertain myself indoors. That is, UNTIL I realize I'm able to open the window.. Hmm this could be fun!! But, woe is me. The window only leads to small roof/overhang type deal. But no matter, I'll sunbathe for a bit. Ok enough of that, I want to PLAY. Now which one of these drawers hides the socks? FOUND IT!! All the socks I could ever want to chew on!! Yippee!! Oh boy, now I found the container of Yellows! Off with your lid! Yellows for everyone!!
Uhoh, I hear Alpha's transport vehicle, back to my den and close the door! Ha, I'm so sneaky. What's that? You want to put my leash on? I don't think so! Unclip that bugger once we're outside and it's OFF TO THE RACES!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Ok now I'm hungry, the foods in the pantry (another doorknob I can't reach), back to Alpha for some kibbles. Ahhh full tummy, back in the den, Alpha leaves and it's out the window to sunbathe for a nap!! Now, about that Screaming Banshee of Death. Screw driver? Check. Hammer? Check! That thing is getting turned into scrap today!! Muahahaha! My day is complete.
My last act of the my day with opposable thumbs will be to stick my thumbs in my ears, point all my fingers straight up, and stick my tongue out at you!!
Good night!!

Weekends?

Good morning HOOMAANS!

I do not understand these weekend things. It is light outside now, which means it is time to PLAAAAY. Alpha keeps putting his bed on his head and making grouchy noises but I want to PLAY.
My prey escapes me every night, it sneaks just outside of my bed so I have to alert Master so he will catch it and put it back in. ::It's a chew stick, and YOU knock it out of your crate, stop being noisy::
Alpha says his litter mates have friends for me to meet. The one he calls Danel just adopted a new pack member, he says she is less highper than me. I do not know what highper means.
He says his other litter mate has toys for me to chase!! I do not know what a Cat is but it sounds fun to chasearoundandaroundandaround. I cannot wait!!
He has one more litter mate called Mer but she is cranky and mean and pretends to be big and bad. Alpha says she encourages my highperness and troublemaking. Maybe I will go tinkle on her carpet to teach her a lesson for Alpha.
Here is what Master calls my evil alter ego. Whatever it is, it looks like fun for me to PLAAAY.
