We went to our summertime running trail by the lake - oh pals, we missed that place We had so much fun there, exploring all the new and unusual smells, running all ovfur the place! It was the best to run with one of our peeps. So, anyfur, I guess mom felt sad that she couldn't go with us yesterday and she took us back there today!

What the Fur, I thought. Then, even weirder, she sprayed the cooking spray on our feets! I was afraid she had finally lost her mind, that she was gonna try and saute' us (except there was no oven and no pan...curious) Ok, so she sprayed all our feets with Pam hooked us onto the leash and we hopped out and went running The path was icy in some parts, but it was not a super cold day today (not like 8 degrees of yesterday) It was pretty warm today at 23 degrees, so it's hard to tell how well that stuff worked for protecting my delicate pads, but I hafta say, I barely noticed it. None of us did. We let mom spray our feet and didn't give it a second thought. We are interested in finding out if Pam helps out on those very cold days.

She couldn't see me in the dark... Dad ran outside just as I was coming up the deck stairs and he said SKUNK! She got skunked! After that, it's kind of a blur...I was quarantined outside, soaked with water, then soaked with peroxide/baking soda/dish soap and forced to stand outside for 4 mintues...then I was standing under the shower in the bathtub...there was a lot of hubub and the shower curtain fell on me at one point... Finally, I got out of the tub and the good part: A toweling off!! I love that!! I guess the peeps are glad I don't smell like skunk anymore. After all of that craziness, I would advise all my pals to avoid the skunk. The stink is pawsome, but the peeps really go out of their way to get rid of it.

That's how momma feels about ... enough When the 'powers that be' a.k.a. the dreaded MIL called Dad to see if we were coming to her big birthday bash this weekend cuz all the other 'family members' are driving in from out of town, momma's stomach dropped 10 feet. Gah. or Gag. If she never saw any of those people again it would be too soon. Going to these "family" (and I use the term loosely) events is a good time to play a game we like to call how many flavors of dysfunction can you find It's not a challenging game, anyone can play. Ugh, and the roodness...you never saw such rood hoomans. Acting so horribly to my momma and even Dad. The last event the momma had to attend was at her dreaded SIL's house. SIL just had some sort of remodel, add-on to the house. The peeps went over there for an evening and saw that new remodel had one 3 foot x 5 foot gated off section for the SIL's two pups. Who were gated off the entire night. They sat behind those gates watching all the hoomans milling around in the same room. My momma was so disgusted by this. Those are good dogs, crated off like common criminals because their hoomans won't take the time to exercise them properly. She doesn't understand these hoomans. And doesn't want any part in their sad, unhappy lives. But the Dad says he wants to attend one of the events this weekend. Why, is a mystery to momma. Momma loves Dad...so she's trying really hard to buck up for the event. She's praying really hard for the strength to get through time with these people who've been and continue to be horrible to her; with grace. BOL Clearly this is a challenge for her.

Some type of labby mix charging full gun through the water - he came to us and Max (the police) stopped him in his tracks (in the water) I was getting my frisbee, so I didn't notice him right away When I did finally spot the interloper, I charged over to him - Shouting, of course (it's what I do) All the while, this pup is waggin waggin waggin, he's so happy to see other pups at the beach He grabbed Max's tennis ball and hopped (or tried to) over to Mom (who was only too happy to say hello) Max wasn't having any of this, He stands between any pup and Mom (sad for mom - she can hardly ever pet other pups with Max around) Anyway, this is all totally unacceptable to me and I'm shouting at the top of my lungs the whole time, Max is herding and grrr-ing at this happy pup and I thought I heard Mom saying something to us...but I can't be sure (I wasn't paying attention to her). Finally, this interloper's mom comes and grabs the guy, sez 'sorry' to Mom and they go back home. then what happens? we get in trouble! can you believe it, pals? Mom sez our listening skills and behavior was atrocious she made us SIT, FETCH, COME, SIT the rest of the time She claims the beach does not belong to us We like making mom happy and all, but when interlopers or skwerls are around, All bets are off.]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/684723 Mon, 2 Aug 2010 17:24:33 PDT Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/684723 we got frontlined 2 days ago that means no swimming at the lake for 3 days. frontline days are sad ... http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/683128 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:21:58 PDT Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/683128 We have two cars at my house normally, mom takes us places in the BIG truck we like to stretch out ... her camera fell into the water. GASP 'bad word' Now the good news is that the camera is covered by some extra insurance policy mom bought for the camera. the bad news is that we had to leave the beach so early we were just hitting our stride! And we wanted to share some friday beach time sunshiney fun with all our pals today but we have to wait and see if the water and sand erased all our pics from the memory card.

On ... July 17 in 2001, I met my peeps I remember it like it was yesterday! It was a busy day at the shelter... I was laying on the cement floor in my run close to the door (for maximum tummy rubs of course) making puppy dog eyes at passersby I spotted Mom while a young boy was submitting to my will (rubbing my tummy) I gave her the look and she couldn't take her eyes off me. But the boy wanted to take me home. So the peeps wandered off. They looked at other dogs there that day even took more than a few out to meet and greet but none were their perfect match. Feeling disheartened, they made a last stroll around the shelter dog runs before they were to go home - pupless. They walked by my run and saw me there. I made sure to make eye contact with the peeps to let them know I had chosen them! The peeps happily learned that I was not going home with any other family Mom can still remember how her heart leapt at this news! Dad knew at that moment I would be coming home with them. Just as a formality, the peeps took me outside and I played a little ceremonial fetch with mom. Dad told the lady at the shelter: write up the papers, she's coming home with us. And thus began my journey with the peeps...9 years ago. Boy, time sure flies when you're living your life with gusto like I do! I'm expecting a trip to the beach and Bacon cake for my big gotcha day pawty tomorrow! Wish all you pups could celebrate with me :)]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/681425 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:20:51 PDT Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/681425 If you know us, you know we swim every day in the summer Kodi has had some trouble drying out he ... http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/673600 Tue, 25 May 2010 15:39:16 PDT Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/673600 I just love this new dogster setup! in fact, I even think the pics on my page are bigger, very e ... http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/668950 Wed, 28 Apr 2010 08:51:24 PDT Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/668950 I think I would like to do yoga.

The Frisbee Kid because, clearly I cannot get enough Frisbee playing action! My very most favorite is playing frisbee at the lake we've lost several frisbees in the lake because they don't really float, so by the time I get out there to the frisbee (I'm a good swimmer, so the peeps throw it FAR!) sometimes it sinks. Then I swim around looking for the thing forever. Many of my frisbees are at the bottom of our lake. That was the story of years past This year Mom made a pawsome find! The Chuck-It Frisbee! It's super light, orange and blue, and best of all... It FLOATS!!! We took it to the lake today for a trial I give it two paws up!!!

Our campsite faced a pawsome lake which we raced down into first thing evfurry morning The peeps brought us tents to sleep in and a boat to play in ~ I'm also a boating dawg, known as Captain Larry Well, the whole week was one great pawty, I tell you what! The red squirrels were barking at us the whole trip the chipmunks were taunting us, the fish were swimming right under our paws and noses Of course the mosquitos and flies taunted us too... drove Kodi nuts and he hid in the screen tent whenever he could. Here's a great story, pals, There was one rascally chipmunk loitering in the woods at the edge of our campsite just waiting for the opportunity to jump in and grab our food Max and I waged and endless war against this little buggar chasing him away constantly! At our campsite, the peeps hung a big black bag on a tree and used it for garbage at one point, Max and I lost sight of the chipmunk then, we heard alot of commotion... we looked here we looked there up, down, we did not see him...but we could hear him IN THE GARBAGE BAG! BOL! Chipmunk in a bag! Oooooh, we realized he was in there, the same time the peeps did We were so busy high fiving each other over our capture that we failed to notice Dad walk over and dump the bag That Chipmunk flew outta there so fast all we saw was a blur OH! Foiled again! He got away, but we continued our efforts at securing the campsite and also hoping for another shot at having this wonderful delicacy: Chipmunk in a bag: Shake and Bake, baby!!

I told her in no uncertain terms that I was not falling for her cuteness and she should go back where she came from. To her own momma!

As my peeps once tho ... Sunny’s pawrents are attempting to restore their carpets to original glory. As my peeps once thought they could do, attempting to remove all evidence of our existence. We put our paws down! We will not be hidden! We work hard to bring the outdoors in. Here’s the story: My brilliant pawrents bought a lovely shade of cream Berber carpeting with flecks of color in it (to camouflage the dirt we pups bring in) As they owned their own carpet steam cleaner and Little Green Machine, they figured they could keep the carpets looking like new with fairly little effort. Try as they might, there was no way they could keep up – I mean really, it’s 12 paws against 2 peeps. Despite their best efforts, the pretty cream carpet quickly turned a lovely shade of brownish gray. The peeps persevered with their battle to save the carpet. They cleaned, slaving from mud season to summer through mud season. They rested their weary cleaning bones during winter. Then it was back to the grind of another mud season. The cycle continued for 3 years or so. Pals, you know how we use the carpet for personal reasons? The peeps call it striping or some such? We used this skill to our advantage in the war on carpet. One day, the peeps came home to find one giant ”X” striped onto the carpet. Each leg of the “X” was made by a different pup. The peeps said that was the last straw. The carpet cleaner had long since died from overuse. The Little Green Machine was rammed into a closet somewhere never to be used again. BOL! The war was over. Pups won. Carpet was removed and replaced with wood and tile flooring. And now when guests come to our house, they know doggies rule this joint! The peeps say, if you don’t like dirt and doggies, you better not come to our house! That’s what we like to hear. BOL!]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/573363 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:57:06 PDT Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/573363 since I got my haircut, I've been one busy pup! wrasslin with Maxwell constantly (the kid won't lea ...

At night, I have all but taken over the bed! I chose to sleep on the floor before my haircut, because I would get so hot. Mom was forever trying to keep me on the bed. Now, it's chilly with my short hair and I need to be in the middle to stay warm - you'd think she'd be happy, right? No, now Max and the peeps complain about the lack of space they have I say, there are perfectly good couches elsewhere in the house! I'll take the nice warm bed with the down comforter, thanyouverymuch :)]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/571078 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:37:14 PDT Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/571078 Have you heard the news?

Now, if I get a bath after the walk/run I could warm up and dry off in bed with the peeps! I love to cuddle when I am wet!! But, the peeps don’t like to cuddle with me when I’m soaking The Compromise: Lunchtime bath for me! Plenty of drying time before walks and before bed. I hate the bath, but I LOVE to be clean! After bathtime, I race around the house I told mom that I was not going to get hypothermia and was able to get her to let me go outside I ran right over to the biggest pile of snow and dove in face first! Then rolled all around, thoroughly covering myself in snow It wasVery Invigorating!!

Sunny Lee Shared her pal’s diary entry…it’s about the day that Hannah rescued her momma I can’t help but see the similarities in this story and the day I rescued my momma... It was just another day for me at the shelter. A busy Saturday, getting belly rubs by many peeps (cuz I’m just so cute!) Well, momma and Dad walked by my kennel At that time, a little boy was busy giving me a tummy rub and that family was gonna take me home but When momma looked into my eyes, I knew I was going home with her. I knew that she needed me more than the other family I met that day. She didn’t know it, though. When the peeps finally realized I wasn’t going home with some other peeps, They opened my kennel and we went outside to play a little ball No one could mistake the happiness in our eyes and the smiles on our faces. It was clear, Momma and I were meant to be. So often, we hear people tell stories of how they met their pups…saying, ‘I can’t believe someone would give her back to the shelter’ Or ‘Who could ever abandon a dog like this? I just don’t understand.’ It sure seems like God puts us just where we need to be exactly when we need to be there, doesn’t it? Cuz my momma knows I am surely a gift from heaven.]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/528846 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:33:12 PST Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/528846 Let it be known that Sunday nights After Church The following activities (and only the following a ... only the following activities) are to transpire: Making us dinner Cooking peeps’ dinner (with allotted sharing of said dinner) Milling around the house with us Lounging with us Notice how this list does not include: Running on the treadmill at the health club for an hour without us Which is what the peeps did last night.

Bodhi…awhile ago…I know, I know, but mom tells me she’s been busy working…no time for dogster. What? I tell her, get yer priorities in order, mom!!! But I digress, Following (and it’s about time, I might add) are 7 fun facts (with an extra fact thrown in for more fun!) about moi (Francois!) 1. I love to have my hair cut short. This allows me to run fast and as well as cuddle up with the people: this makes it much easier to invade their personal space. 2. If I am within range of your mouth when you open it, I will try to stick my tongue in there. 3. I’m loyal to my pack…um, unless you have treats…or any type of food really…then, well, I’m all yours, baby! 4. I am the Frisbee Kid. I was the ball dog too until Maxwell arrived at our house. It turns out he’s a ball dog and he’s faster than me. The game’s not that fun when you always lose. 5. I charge up to and bark at every dog I see – but if anypup confronts me, stands up to me or looks at me wrong, I am instantly on my back wailing like an injured animal. 6. Anything you are eating, I should be eating. Please share. 7. Any morsel of food dropped on the floor is in play and calls for a face-off. 8. Although I am a very girrly girl, I do have a mustache. Hence the nickname: Francois. Hug your peeps and have a grr-eat weekend efurrypup!]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/521860 Fri, 31 Oct 2008 07:12:59 PDT Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/521860 Happy Howl-o-Ween efurrypup!

Based upon the format of the Japanese cult sensation, Iron Chef Minnesota carries on the legend of Kitchen Stadium and the famed "secret ingredient." Every evening, world-class chefs battle the legendary Iron Chef: Roxy. One Iron Chef. – Roxy (that's me!) One challenger – my Dad…or whoever’s in the kitchen cooking. One surprise ingredient – it’s what’s on the menu. Mix together in Kitchen Stadium (well, not really a stadium, just kitchen and grill on the deck) and watch the battle of skills and creativity that ensues. Be amazed as the reigning Iron Chef attempts to distract the challenger into dropping food. Even going so far as to blatantly trip the challenger, as the Iron Chef defends her title. A guest panel (Mom and any other guests who will be present for the meal) judges the dishes to determine who is victorious and who is vanquished. Armed with pots and pans, sauces and spices, furry paws and spatulas, the two go head-to-head to see who really sizzles on Iron Chef Minnesota!]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/495725 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:22:46 PDT Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/495725 This is no fish tale, my friends.

Apparently, they we ... Dig In! So, we did. It was a crazy feast if ever there was one. We left no garbage untouched - Kodi ate all the paper towels (he’s trying to go green by recycling…doing his part) - I ate all of the ‘leftover’ food; it was hard to sift around the used coffee grounds, which is why it was necessary to spread the garbage all over the house. - Maxwell carried the paper products to the couch and bean bag. I was busy, so I can’t really tell you what he ate. It can’t have been much, because I was there (If there’s people food around, it’s a face-off!) and also, he did not have any resulting digestive distress. The pawrents came home and let us outside. Mom wanted to know why I was barking SO much more than usual and shaking! Dad walked in the house, went upstairs and realized why. I did not want to go inside. You see, I really can’t control myself around the sweet temptation of garbage (or anything gross for that matter…lately there’s a fox that uses the backyard for a bathroom – pawsome stuff to roll in; if you ever get the chance, I highly recommend it!), but when it’s time for consequences…oh boy… When Mom saw the mess, she laffed! She said the floors needed to be cleaned anyway. She sez this was one of our most productive garbage raids. It was a masterpiece if I do say so myself.

The Vet thought maybe I caught some bacterial something or other from the pond. Grr, this puts the kibosh on my swimming for awhile due to Mom’s fear of gross infections. Whatever. Anyway, this gel she put in my eyes, yeah, both eyes, goops up my vision. I couldn’t frickin’ see a thing through that gunk. Thank Dog that’s done with.

Mom tells me that although her office comrades enjoy a story or two about our hilarious antics; it is slightly possible that they might not enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and overall chaotic atmosphere that we bring to the table (so to speak). Despite the fact that our cuteness overrides any negatives that could be perceived…well, in Mom’s eyes anyway. In that light, mom says she’ll bring in an extra big and extra cute picture of us to add to the display in her cubicle. Ok, that’s a fair compromise, I guess.

Max and Max need to rest, fuel and hydrate properly if they’re going to keep on top of their game this year!). Finally, the 5 O’clock whistle blew and it was time for our trip to the park! It was a banner trip indeed! We got to go swimming in the pond (a.k.a. the swamp) and that means Spring is here. Mom opened the gate and we busted in full gun and splashed into that murky, slimy, smelly water with as much noise and vigor as always! I dunked myself all the way under several times, Kodi sifted mouthfuls of water through his teeth and inhaled some of it which made him hack up water, Loudly, as usual, and Max raced in and stopped when the water level reached his belly. I swam and swam (almost lost the Frisbee in the water ~ I don’t know what all the drama was about, sheesh, mom could have just gone in and got it), I drank and drank, I ran and ran! Kodi chased the geese and snacked on mud (and a little goose poop) from the shoreline. Max chased the ball a bit and ate some grass, but he was more focused on clammin’ (digging in the mud)…I wonder what he’s looking for? Anyway, after a time, we ‘appeared’ to be tired, so mom decided we were ready to go….PSYCH – we were not tired at all! We were invigorated! So, we did another lap around the park, with more running, Frisbee, ball playing and socializing for all. It was puptastic! …I must also mention that after this pawesome time, mom had to go and ruin our hard earned musty, wet dog, swamp smells by giving us all baths. Well, it was bad news for me and Max, but spa time is icing on the cake for Kodi!]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/451929 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 11:37:18 PDT Roxy ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/486602/diary/Loudmouth_larry/451929 The Boston Marathon and Womenâ��s Marathon Olympic Trials were Sunday and Monday.
