Promises Kept

Woofs everypup! As ya'lls knows by nows, Ceel & me's is back from our staycation. EVERYONE can't stop talkings 'bout how good I behaved! So I reminded Mommy bout her promise to buy me my favorite treats. At first she said I had too many but I pouted & threw a hissy-fit & she caved in! She went to some magical store called SAMS where she found an Ebby-size bag of 'chiggen jerky at a great price! 'Course she said the bag is for both Ceel & me. Boo! But I's 'spose there's 'nuff!

Abandoned to fend for ourselves!

As the Great Master (and Rinky) as me witness...Ebony Ursula Gonzalez Alpha Dog will not go hungry! I will survive Mommy's cruelty!

Remembering Rinky

We's coming up to the 1 year anniversary of Rinky's passing. Mommy been feeling sad cause she misses Wrinkles so much. This time last year, was the beginning of Rinky's last days here on earth. She started getting sicker & sicker & it was torture on Mommy & me's. I's likes to remember better things, like how every morning we'd wakes up & I go over & wash Rinky's face. I would slowly lick her entire face with my little tongue. I would wash her ears too. Since she was taller than me, she would lower her head so's I could reach. I think she found this very relaxing. You's still my heart Rinky.

My new theme song

Hi everyones! I's sure you's all been awaitin' for a new song on my dogpage! BOL! Well after 'mush sniffin 'round I's finally dug 'sumfin up! Hope you's like it! BOL, BOL, BOL!!!!!

Lazy Goose!

As you can see from some of my 'pitchers, Paw-Paw's dog Jasper (aka Goose) has been forced off the couch & into the workforce!

Goose is very, very lazy. He likes to sleep all day on the couch & only gets up to ride in the truck. He does not like to go for walks much. Paw-paw has gone as far as driving him out to a pasture & leaving him there so Goose is forced to run back to the house! Sometimes it's the only way to get him to exercise!

Well Paw-paw has had enough! He put a tie on Goose & told him he had to find a job!

Hooray for Mommy's Day!

Well another Mothers Day has come & gone. I loves Mommy's Day! It like Kissmas all over again! Mommy opened a new bag of 'quackers' for us (duck jerky) this morning. Then she cooked us a pot of 'chiggen & brown rice! Yummy! We'll be having 'chiggen & rice for breakfast for week! Yea! Then Mommy played tug with me & gave Ceel a belly rub. All in all Ceel & me made out like bandits this Mother's Day! Isn't Mother's Day grand?! It are a special day when all Mom's can spoil they's kids rotten! BOL!

No Fun Being Scareds

Last night when we's sleepin', there was a loud crash on the roofs. It wokes me ups & I's so scared. I goes overs to Mommy's bed. I knows I's not 'llowed on the bed but I's so scareds I start shaking & pantings. I stands on my hind legs by the bed trying to get Mommy's 'tentions. I's so scared! Mommy wakes up & she feels for me in the dark. I nestle my little head in her hands. "Ebby your trembling," she said, "Sweetie it's just the cats on the roof." Mommy says our outside kittys like to climb trees & then drop to the roof. She said that's what the loud noise was. Well I doesn't unnerstands & I's still scared. Mommy reaches down & picks me up & lets me sleep on the bed with her. After a while I stops trembling. I feels safe next to my Mommy.

How I Saved My Mommy

OMD, OMD, you's pups will NEVER believes what I does todays! It all beguns this 'afernoon when I hears Mommy scream, "OH MY GOSH!" I's in the living room when I hears this. My ears perks up & I runs to the room to see what's goings on.

Imagine my 'sprize when I sees a snake!!! A 4-Ceeley length snake!!! I jumps into 'ashion! "I save you Mommy!" I 'tack the snake from it's tail, then I's make my tough dog grunting sounds & I grabs it from behind it's neck & I shake, shake, shake it till it's dead!!!

And that is how I's saved my Mommy today! She called me her hero & gave me a jerky treat!

Another Pooch Parade Under My Paw

That's right pups, Ebony Ursula Gonzalez has another parade unner her paw! It was sumtin, I's tell you! There's more pups this year than last years. At first I's nervous cause there's so many pups & humans. I stayed close to Mommy's feet. Ceel's Mom, Auntie Letty was there & Ceel marched with her. Once the march beguns, I calmed down. The march beguns at 9am. Thank dogness it was a cool morning, not like last years.

Unlike last year, Mommy didn't make me walk to entire 3 miles. She carried me some of the way but I's did walk mos' of the route. I think she felt sorry for me last year cause I was sore for 2 days. 'Corse, I was more...uhm...'bundantly healthy' then. I's no greyhound by any means, but I is slimmer.

I didn't see Ceel until the last stretch of the march. You see Ceel is real athletic though you'd never know it from her looks! She's heavier than I's is & is definately no greyhound either, but dog oh dog is she a fast walker! Anywho, Mommy knew that I was like the tortoise & Ceel was like the hare, so we got a head start while Ceel & Auntie were behind.

I huffed & puffed my way thru the parade route. At one point I's stops & pulls Mommy to the side of the street where there's a lady feeding her pug. I sniff the air & 'mediately drag Mommy toward the pug & his Mom. I flash the lady my famous smile, I lick my chops & wiggle my tush! "Ebby! Have you no shame! That is not yours, it's the little pug's food!" said Mommy. "But I wants some!" I smile bigger & wag harder! The lady laughs & Mommy is embarrassed! I shamelessly tell the lady, "I wants some!" As Mommy is 'bout to pick me up the lady says, "It's okay, it's just turkey & I'll give some if it's okay with you."
The nice lady gives me a bite and it was DELISH! I was gonna beg for more but the little pug gave me a little growl (how rude!) & Mommy said I'd had enough. She thanked the lady & we continued on our march.

We met up with Ceel & Auntie towards the last leg of the march. Somehow she'd passed me up! I tell you, she's fast! And she walked the entire route!

I tell you one thing, Ceel & me's slept like logs last night!

2011 Pooch Parade

That's right pups, it are Fiesta time again in San Antonio! It's a week long celebration with a variety of parades & other events held through out the city. The mos' important of all (and the only one I's cares 'bout) is the Pooch Parade. I's been a 'pawticipant in the parade since it's begunnings. Wrinkles, may she rest in peace, used to pawticipate too till she got too old. Ceel also has been pawticipating for a few years as well. Last years, there were over 700 pooches!

It are lotta funs. There are contests, booths, free give-aways and even the media shows up! The parade is a 3 mile walk thru one of San Antonio's most affluent communities. The parade will be held this Saturday starting in Olmos Park. Ceel & me's will be marching our butts off!
