Pet's Point of View

My companion is an activist for
the Humane Society in our city.
She shares events & enourages ppl
by networking (in our area) on
Facebook to adopt instead of
buying pup-pups, & more
importantly, to donate.

Anywoof, today we were sniffing
on the HSEP's website & wanted
to share this in our diary. Awh!

The 10 Commandments From a Pet's Point of View
by Stan Rawlinson

1. My life is likely to last 10 - 15 years;
any separation from you will be painful for me.
Remember that before you adopt me.

2. Give me time to understand what you want
from me; don't be impatient, short-tempered,
or irritable.

3. Place your trust in me and I will always
trust you back. Respect is earned, not given
as an inalienable right.

4. Don't be angry with me for long
and don't lock me up as punishment; I
am not capable of understanding why. I
only know I have been rejected. You
have your work, entertainment, and friends,
but I only have you.

5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't
understand your words, I do understand
your voice and tone. You only have to
look at my tail.

6. Be aware that however you treat me,
I'll never forget it, and if it is cruel,
it may affect me forever.

7. Please don't hit me. I can't hit
back, but I can bite and scratch, and
I really don't ever want to do that.

8. Before you scold me for being
uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy,
ask yourself if something might be
bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting
the right foods or I've been out in the
sun too long, or my heart is getting
old and weak. It may be I am just
dog-tired.

9. Take care of me when I get old.
You too will grow old and may also
need love, care, comfort, and attention.

10. Go with me on difficult journeys.
Never say, "I can't bear to watch" or "Let
it happen in my absence." Everything is
easier for me if you are there. Remember,
regardless of what you do, I will always love you.

REM is Bizarre

Not the American rock
band BOL, but my
non-rapid eye
movement & rapid
eye movement is bizarre.
Evidently when BFF is
watching me sleep & both
my eyelids are half-way
closed (w/ the third eyelids
kinda showing) it's bizarr-o.

I twitch a lot b/c I
am dreaming of
hopping through tall
green grassy fields &
chasing ♥ tennis balls.

You know what's bizarre?
When some hooman is watching
me sleep!

Studies have shown that
puppies & old dogs tend
to dream more than middle
aged & adult dogs.

Hmmmph. Is this true for
you my fur-riends? I have
to disagree. I'm an adult
dog. I dream all the time.
So does Stella.

Green Dots

*sigh* fleas! I thought
they were gone?! We've
tried using Chrome & also
IE on our compooter;
however, we're seeing
green dots for some recent
diaries posted by our
fur-riends,
in addition, some photos
w/ a white box + a red x
in the middle. Phooey!

I can't see Izzy's photo.
What's the cute factor?
Can anyone tell me?

Dogster, pawlease fix
the fleas...

w/ LOVE,
Halo

Poor Stuffie

Hello fur-riends. :) Not much
has happened this week
except for Monday when
Stella left her personalized
chocolates on the carpet!
In myyyy room! Ick.
As soon as BFF opened
the door, I bolted
out of the room 'cus
the smell was atrocious.
BOL!

I don't understand why
Stella holds it when we're
outside for saaaay twenty
minutes prior to going
back inside the house.
She just goes at her
convenience (sometimes).
How can something so
small drop sooo many
packages of chocolates
in one delivery?

Your guess is as good as
mine.

Anywoof, my furavorite
leopard stuffie lost his
head yesterday. All I
remember was one second
I was playing tug w/ him
& the next minute his head
disconnected from his body.
Poor stuffie.

Stuffie to the Bum

Hi Pals! TGIF. :P
I likes playing tug-tug
w/ my leopard stuffie.
BFF says that particular
play style makes no sense!
Especially when I'm not
using a rope toy & try
to tug w/ my tennis ball.
What's the difference?

Sometimes,
BFF turns her back to me
when I have my stuffie in
my mouth. So, I'll
immediately walk up & shove
the stuffie in her bum.
BOL BOL I have to get her
attention somehow, right?
Have any of you PALS
done this before?
To my toy-size pals w/
less vertical advantage,
what do you do to get
your Mums to play w/ you?

Paws crossed that there
are no more diary glitches.
I wanna be able to read
efurryones pupdates in my
Pal Activity w/out seeing
green dots.

Have a fun weekend
& stay cool,
Halo

Dogster Celebrates...

APBTs today, yay! :)


I can take the day off
today to lounge around,
practice my cute derp
faces in the mirror, nap,
chew my feet...

I wish my hooman could
take the day off w/ me
too. At least we got to
play an extreme game of
fetch earlier. Pups,
I am eggggshausted.

Awooo-wooo, I hope
this diary entry posts.

xo,
Halo

AG's

Last night before lights out,
I was chewing my leopard
stuffie on the bed busily

destuffing
the stuffie, hah!

BFF was laying next to me &
took the stuffie. I chased the
stuffie everywhere as she kept
trying to hide it. I turned
around to lick my bottom.
Is that TMI? Anywoof, the
AG's sorta let out some goo.
A li'l scent.

Ah-ahhhhem!
Ya know?

(whispering voice)
The anal glands.

BOL Do your Mums get
grossed out too? BFF
said "pee-yew all over
my covers!?!?" as I kinda
saturated the lime green bed
cover w/ my 'scent.' BOL BOL!
Ya know what I did next? I
walked up to her as she was
laying on her pillow & gave
her a kiss BOL BOL!

Hide & Go, Treat!

So PUPS, I enjoyed a fun nose
game today. Prior to hide &
go treat I watched BFF
vacuum. I surrrre likes
watching the vacuum in
motion. Usually I try to
go after the vacuum.

To bark at it.
& to wrassle w/ it too.

'ShOOing' me away almost
nevaah works. BOL However,
treats work. I'm sure
treats work for you pups too!
So the hooman hid a few
Blue Wilderness Duck recipe
square treats in her room for
me to find. I found those
goodies fast. I also left
some crumbs & slobber in
those hiding spots. The
more mess I make, the more
BFF needs to clean. More
cleaning = more games.

I'm always one step ahead!
Cheeeaa ;)

Waste?

Hey Pals! I'm thrilled not
only because it's Friday
(more play time & less
crate time for me on
the weekends), but b/c
BFF came home this mornin'
& brought me two new
iSqueak tennis balls from
Petsmart. Just for me.

Well, she got tiny ones as
well for Stella & Cleo
to play w/. She said that
I go through appawoximately
300 hundred iSqueaks a year.
Hmmmph. $1.99 x 300. That's
almost $600, if not more.
Furthermore, she said it's
a waste of money.
Why? 'Cus of all the li'l
tennis balls destroyed at
my paws BOL? She wishes I
played more w/ my Chuck-it
Balls. Well I get bored
ppl! Sheesh. ;) Since I
LOVE the tennis balls
she will continue to buy
them JUST b/c they make
ME happy.

Awh! ♥

Double Post & Tag

BFF is a li'l peeved at
the moment. She doesn't
know whether it's her keying
(BOL it is her sloppy keying),
the computer, IE, Google
Chrome, or Dogster that has
fleas.

When posting a comment, sometimes
the site will generate an error code.
That doesn't show the post.
Often times, she has been Double
Posting comments.
Delete them if you must.
Also, we apologize in advance
for DP's. =/
