Hey while I got you here for a second

I am going to tell you straight up, what I want for Christmas. I want rawhide, greenies, toys, organic treats and clothes. Oh, didn't you hear, I am a very fashionable dog.

I found this picture the other day of me as a puppy and with Tyler, and yes I am not happy.

The old snip, snip

So the other day the big ones got me out of bed and took me for a walk. I was really excited, we never walk this far in the morning, but it felt really good to stretch my legs.

We then went to the park, how lucky am I! There were a bunch of other puppies and big dogs around, it was like a large playground.

Then up pulled an RV.

Little did I know that my glorious day was going to turn so bad, so quick. It took them a little while but then it was our turn to go in.

There were a lot of kitties and dogs in big cages, they were all pretty tired and most of them were asleep. A man took me from the big one and looked me over, I DID NOT LIKE THAT. There was a little prick by my foot and then they put me in one of those boxes.

I really don't know what happened after that but now I am here with this ring on, but I think i got it figured out.

Trick or...ohh just give me a treat all ready!

Well I have no idea what is going on around here. The big ones came home tonight with chocolate on their breath and none for me. To top it off there are people all over the neighborhood, but they decided not to dress as themselves. They put on sheets and some of them put on masks, most for the better.

So I get done with all of my business and trust me I want to get inside, it is weird out there, plus it is dinner time.

After dinner I am trying to have my 5th nap of the day when the Male Big One comes over and starts trying to put all of these crazy shirts on. Everybody is laughing and cheering but trust me I am not happy. I LOOK RIDICULOUS!!!

And then to top it off, I think they are done after one. But wait, there is more. They pull out another shirt and hat for me to wear. Did I mention I was not happy with this the first time? But you know what? I will be the bigger mammal in the situation and let it go. No hair off my back, right? But they keep with the flashing box and laughing and giving me minimal, need I repeat that, minimal treats.

So now I am trying to get my blog done before I go to bed, which I still need to go out for my nightly rounds, so I can finally have some peace and quiet. Even though I have a feeling that it might not happen to be quiet tonight at all.

Oh, by the way, Yes I did get a hair cut.

Thanks for noticing!

Pumpkin Festival

The male big one and I went out the other night and he played with a wireless controller pointed at the television and was yelling and screaming about stuff to his friend "Nate."

Nate is pretty nice and he is good to the other big one, he lets him drink whatever he wants to when he goes to the fridge. He evens lets me poop on his floor without getting mad...I like that, POOP TIME.

Nate said something about a Pumpkin Festival and that we should go. "Ohh my, I thought, pumpkins and a festival, that sounds like fun... I should find out what a pumpkin is."

Well the next day came around and I put on my best shirt and the Big Ones and I took off down the street. I thought we were just headed around the street, but before you know it we were all the way on the other side of the island.

There were a lot of kids running around and big orange circles which I found out later were, in fact, pumpkins. I also found out they were heavy when the boy big one would not shut up about how heavy it was the whole way home, what a wuss.

But overall I got lots of petting, to play on the hay and listen to some pretty good music, that Nate guy sure can play!

When I got home though it was all over for me, what a long day, the only thing I can think about is the couch and how it is my best friend.

The Mystery Box

So there was a rumble at the door this evening and I let out the most ferocious bark I could muster and then the boy big one came back in the room and said something about a box coming from Kansas.

I have been to Kansas before and it was really nice, maybe the big dog from Kansas is in the box and she wants to say, "hello." Or maybe it is some leaves. I love leaves to play with!

They opened up the box and low and behold it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, a rope toy! I had this on my list of things I wanted, besides a steak every morning, hint...hint big ones. (You know you might think I am being a little unreasonable, but guess who already cooks for me every night.)


But it wasn't over just yet. There was another bag in there that they said was for me. And it tastes like chicken, I will have to wait and see exactly what this is. They took it away from me and put it with all of my other tasty food.

Well I think there is some more I have to say, but for now I am going to call it a night and get ready to bark at every shadow and noise in the middle of the night. I know that the female one loves it when I scream out in surprise at 2:30 in the morning...and who am I to disappoint?

I am so smrt, I mean smart!

OK, so I have been really busy.

Last weeks was finals week and let me tell you, I passed with flying colors. In fact, I followed in the footsteps of my mom and was top of my class.

We all went to class the same as other days, but I had no idea what the final was going to be. Not only did they spring a lot of surprises on me, they made the test two parts!

The first part is they put all of these treats and toys all over the room. Then to make it extra difficult they set a new dog at the end of the room, but it wasn't just any dog. His name was Jagermiester and he was huge, they kept saying that he was a Great Dane. The big ones both took me around in the circle.

I was not really interested in the toys, they smelled like other dogs. I acted like the treats did not effect me...but I really wanted to eat them. Last was the big dog. Ohh, he was just asking to be barked at, so I let him have it. The second time we went around we were on better terms, he let me sniff him and everything was cool.

The second part of the test was having another person giving me commands. I was more interested in what my big ones were doing so I was not listening. Then they started ignoring me, how rude. I then was all ears for Sunny's mom and was sitting and laying down and playing touch.

I was really tired but finally I got my diploma and made the very special walk.

Jack is Back!

I've been gone for a long time and I wish I could say I'd been on a big puppy adventure but alas, my days have been spent alone, in my room, with only monkey and alligator to keep me company.
You see, Mom started school about 3 weeks ago and my life since then has been very different. No more hanging out during the day. No more walks in the nice sunshine. No more eating whenever I want. Now it's me and my room. All day. And I can only eat in the morning and when Mom comes home! They left me water twice but I used it as a swimming pool for monkey and alligator. I thought it was a GREAT idea, and monkey and alligator had fun, but Mom was not amused, so now Dad doesn't fill the bowl in the morning. Hmph. No more swimming pool. If only I could figure out those knobs in that thing where they give me my bath.....
I do, however, manage to get their towels down every day, even when they hang them REALLY high. Black poodles can jump :)
Anyways, let me get to what's really bothering me before they come and lock me up again. What is up with this people school thing? I go to puppy class once a week, and from what I hear this week is the last one. I know I needed to learn how to sit and stay and leave things like chicken bones on the ground. But my Mom does all of that already, so why on earth does she go to school all day everyday? From what I see, she doesn't have any new tricks. She just comes home her same old self, only I have to spend my days in the bathroom. Unless somebody can explain this to me, I'm going to organize a boycott of people school because I want my Mom back! No more bathroom for Jack! No more prison for monkey and alligator!
