New Toys

Ran off-leash and played
fetch at Marty Robbins
park with my hooman.

She then drove me to
Petsmart where I had
the honor of picking out
two new toys!

I was well-behaved too!
I calmly walked in with a
smile on my face. I didn't
pull on the leash, nor did
I bark at the entrance.
BFF was very proud
of me. ♥ ♥ ♥

We strolled through the
dog food aisles so I could
treat myself. BOL. Then,
we went to the toy aisle
where I chose two Kong
items; a squeaky wubba
and a red bouncy ball.
So there we were
just browsin' for other
toys and two hooman
ladies came up to greet
me with their male
doggies; a black Lab and
a brindle Boxer. I
lowered my ears and
did my submissive
crouch. After a good
whiff of each other,
we parted ways. They
were very handsome
fellas!

During check out, I
peaked over the counter
with my two front paws,
then got 'off' by myself,
and walked over to greet
the check out hooman
lady.

I LOVE my new
ball. ♥ ♥ ♥

Bedroom Zoomies

So after I had my teefies
brushed tonight, the
case of the zoomies
took over me once again.

Oooooweeeee!

I did zoomies
(in that small doggone
bedroom) all around the
room, hopped onto the
bed, then zoomied back
down to the floor.

BFF laughed, grabbed me
in mid-zoomie,
and carried me down the stairs.
(A-paw-rently I make pitch fork
marks on the floor so I need to
be carried like a princess when
I go to and from the first level
woo-woof!)

Once we were outside, I
continued my zoomies.

« pant » « pant »
« pant » « pant »

I am very tired now. =P
Good night!

Chicken Flava

Today, my special box
arrived in the mail.

Inside, was a blankie
throw for me to sit
on during car rides
(*YAWN) and a new
tube of teefiespaste by
Doctors Foster and
Smith - in chicken
flava!

I sniffed the box.
My tail wagged.
I jumped on the box.
I pulled the taping off.

Although I needed a
little help from BFF with
opening the box, I
managed to drag the box
to the sofa by myself,
where I shredded one side
of the box's flap.

Thhhpuuuuh!

Didnt taste too good.

The teefiespaste, on the
other hand, tastes good.

MmmMmm.
Chicken Flava.

I'm Offiiiicially Known...

as the wrecking ball.
=/

BFF's mom said
I'm too big and
wiggly.

Overly exuberant
gets me into
trouble. I don't
mean to knock
things down when
I'm playing outside
in the backyard.
Hidden in the
landscaping were
these tacky-looking
fairy figurines
which I forgot were
there.

Plus, I saw the
patio umbrella for
the first time since
I was 9 weeks old.
It spooked me out.

I just need more
training.

Dog Park with Dexter

Pups and hoomans met
up around 5:45PM.

Dexter looks like a
Scottie/Norwich Terrier cross.
He's my former puppy
classmate from Petsmart
Puppy School. He's such
a cute scrappy little 8-month
old pup. He loved tugging
on my floppy ears.

I chased him.
He flopped over on his back.

His mom practiced 'come'
when called command
during play. My guardian
made sure I practiced 'easy'
with my little fur-riend
and we took frequent
breaks.

About an hour later,
I met an equally fun
high energy pup, a
7 1/2 month old
St.Bernard/Catahoula
mix named Nipper.
He was a rescue from
Louisiana. By the
time he arrived,
I was already doggone
tiiiiiired.

Also, I met a small
golden color 3-month
old Husky/Lab mix
named Morgan.
It was puppy wrestle
mania! I wrestled with
Nipper. Dexter wrestled
with Morgan.

I fell asleep on the
car ride home. I
love fun, fun,
puppy play time!

Another Dogster Daily Diary Pick

You know the sound
Chewbacca makes in
the movie Star Wars?
I'm doing that right
now. =)

Thanks again HQ for
selecting me as one
of today's diary picks.

My guardian and I
just got home from
the baseball diamond.
I had a splendid time
playing fetch this
morning. The cool,
crisp air smelled
nice and it was
refreshing.

The semi-moist
spring grass felt
marvelous in
between my
paws. It tickled.
Later today, we may
stop by Album park
to meet up with Dexter
my former puppy
classmate and greet
new pups and peeps.

Off to take a nap.
ZzzzzZzzzz.

Dog Park with Chiplé, Dexter and Mia

Just arrived a couple
of hours ago from a
20-25 minute
adventure at the one
and only El Paso dog
park.

I sniffed all the small
doggies inside the park.
I was the only big dog
for while until a Husky,
and GSD puppy walked
in.

My former puppy
classmate Dexter,
the small terrier mix,
was already inside. He
really likes to be chased
and liked tugging
on my ear. =)

I met an Italian
Greyhound, wearing a
neat little circles 'outfit,'
named Vixen. I
reacquainted with Buddy
the Beagle and his Chih mix
companion. I also
re-introduced myself to
my favorite play mate
Chiplé and her owner Moe.
Chiplé and I are a
perfect play match!
Our energies and play style
reflect one another. We
mouthed, bounced around,
and T-stanced. I plopped
down and rolled over on
my back (while Dexter
nibbled my ear BOL!).

It was a nice time! I'z
even went behind the tree
and left some chocolate
for BFF to pick up.

Mia arrived and I
mouthed her too. After
a few minutes, BFF
noticed Cowboy the red
nose pit and his owner
enter the gate. BFF put
my leash on. Needless to
say, some hoomans do not
like them. =( Dexter's
mom and my BFF don't
appreciate Cowboy's
ruff play. 5 minutes passed
and Cowboy and Chiplé
got into a scuffle. It was
nothing serious, but it
was not very nice. They
had to be separated.
Cowboy's owner doesn't
watch his dog and it seems
as though Cowboy is always
looking to challenge or
ruff another doggie up
at Album dog park.

After that not so nice incident,
Chiplé, Dexter and I
had our leashes put on,
furthermore, left the park
with our hoomans. It was
grrreat to see my puppy
fur-riends again. ♥

So Obsessed

(Obsessed tune by Mariah Carey)

'Why are youuu soo
obbsessed with meee?
Dog, I want to knooow?
-That's what BFF would
sing to me, but she can't
carry a tune whatsoever.

I feel the need to keep her
company while she's in the
shower. No harm in that,
is there?

Just because I jump over
and knock down the baby
gate, run up the stairs
leaving pitch-fork scratch
marks on the wood floor
on the way up to the hooman
tub room and investigating
what she's doing doesn't mean
I'm obsessed. ;)

Sometimes, BFF will crate
me with a stuffed kong just
to make sure I stay busy. I
will bark incessantly until
she lets me out. This time
she didn't crate me. While
I was napping on the sofa,
she tried to pull a fast one on
me.

I'm an excellent tub room
attendant! I want to smell
and help out while she's in
the shower; like sniff around,
knock over things on the sink,
rearrange the roll of TP
dangling from the spool,
take her dirty clothes and shred
them up and more importantly,
peak my head through the
shower curtain to make sure she
is ok. Obsessed.
Pfffffft.

Is this an odd behavior? I think
not! I have been doing this since
I was 4 months old. I'm sure
my pupper pals would agree that
their little idiosyncrasies are
just as thoughtful as mine; no
matter how obsessed (or amusing)
it may seem to some. ♥

I Decided to Grace Petsmart with My Presence

as a naughty pup today!
=P

At the door entrance,
I wiggled and waggled.
I play bowed. I barked.
I barked, barked, barked.

Hoomans!
Doggies!
The smells!
Over-stimulation!

BFF hasn't taken me
to Petsmart in a few weeks.
I'm appawled! Maybe if
we took trips everyday,
I wouldn't become overly
excited. BOL!

Also, I tried to convey to
BFF to take off my leash,
'let me go, let me go! I
want to sniff around
paw-leeeeeeze!'

What's the point of going
to Petsmart if doggies
can't run off-leash? ;)

BFF worked on
regaining my focus
with my ziploc bag
filled with canned food.

Ha!
It worked. She made
me 'sit', 'down-stay' and
'watch me' in the dog
food aisles. She picked
up several cans of my
favorite Organics chicken
and placed them in her
basket.

At the the check out, I
thought it would be real
naughty of me to quickly
put my paws up on the
counter and peak over.
Hmmmph, what were the
hoomans doing with my
canned food?!?

Ah, I am definitely a
work in progress.

Cantaloupe...

is my new favorite treat!

Sweet.
Delicious.
Sweet.

I have an idea!
If only there was a
cantaloupe flavored
teefiespaste out there.

I would enjoy having
my teefies brushed
more with a sweet
flavored teefiespaste
rather than using mint.
Mint is over-rated. =D
