New Game!!!

I have a NEW GAME!

It's SO FUN!!

It involves a ball....

Mama or Daddy bounce the ball ONCE, then I catch it! It's an indoor game! I'm REALLY good at it!! Just ask the pawrents!!

I like to catch, but their throws are so inconsistent! They are EVERYWHERE! When the ball bounces once, I can better predict the trajectory and catch it!

Mama or Daddy then have to catch it when I drop it within TWO bounces! One and I'm impressed, but as you all know, they're peeps, and NOT TOO FAST, if you know what I mean!

Yay for new games!

Pick me! Pick me!

Hi all! I'm a diary pick of the day! AND - THE pick of the day is Sara - that's kinda like my Mama's name! Isn't the world amazing???

Funny I'm a pick of the day because I'm about to embark upon a new lifestyle! Mama says she's goin' back to work, tomorrow! That means LOTSA crate time for me!

Hmmmm. I wonder how many more treatsies I can get out of this!

NOT ONLY THAT, but we've been eating raw beef ribs! Oooooh! It's a delicacy in this house! Wish Mama would help me get to the marrow!

I'll take my bone to her and she'll hold it and I'll chew. It's how we do stuff together!

Oh! I've been alerted to a squirrel out front! Gotta go talk to him!

I'd like to thank my supporters, the Dogster Gods, and most of all Ulli in the sky for helping me be a diary pick of the day!!! Woof woof!

(Treat? Treat? I'm a good dog! Good dogs get treats! I read it in an ENCYCLOPEDIA! It MUST be true!)

Nice voice!

I heard a nice voice and saw nice pictures last Sunday when Mama and Daddy were gone!

It was a nice nice lady! She wanted to know why some stuff! Why why why. That sounds like me!

I told her I LOOOOVE my pawrents! They are SOOOO nice!

I'm real scared of the dark and I'm afraid of peeps making me do something I don't wanna!!

The scared of the dark and the claustrophobia kinda go hand in hand. That's why I get scared of Buddha at night! Don't you people watch the NEWS? ANYONE could TURN! AT ANY MOMENT!

Mama says I gotta get used to knowin' I'm safe and sound!

I think I'm a little bitty dog! Because I'm so tiny, I get intimidated easily!

Mama and Daddy have stopped calling me their 'little bitty baby'. NOW they're telling me I'm a big hunk of a boy! Hm! Am I bigger than teeny tiny? Could it be?

Being ONE is GREAT!!!

Did you know that being ONE YEAR OLD is super-great?

It IS!!!

Today was my furst full day being one year old!

We got COW RIB with breakfast, and then another for a snack! We played outside ALL morning and then took a short nap in the afternoon!

To all you pups out there, life as a pup is great, but just wait until you're ONE!! It will be GRAND! Even BETTER than a pup!

(Hard to believe, I know, but true! So true! I'm a BIG BOY NOW!)

HAPPY BARKDAY TO ME!!!

Today is my BARKDAY, nah nah nah nah nah nah, NAH NAH!

I have been ALIVE for 365 days EXACTLY!

For some reason Mama says that is REAL special!

Am I a big man yet? Mama says I'll always be her little baby!

So far the day has been GRRREAT! We had yummy breakfast, have played ball and water faucet outside for HOURS, and now I think I'll take a nap on the bed!

Just so happens tonight is my night on the bed! Good timing for my barkday!

Do I look different? Older? Wiser? More distinguished? Maybe!!

There are ONE THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED FIVE dogs on Dogster with the same barkday as me! I'm gonna go share the love!

For my barkday I want everyfur to give kisses all day long! To everyone they can!!

Official Family Event!!

I got to go to a family event at Daddy's work last night! It was FUN! I got to sniff a lotta offices and stuff, and sniff people!

I liked sniffing little kids, I had a couple favorites I kept giving kisses to! They smell so... Different!

Mama gave me snacks off the snack table. I sat nicely & got pepperoni, cheese, crackers & pastries! Nom nom!

When we got home I was SOOOO TIRED!!! I ate dinner & konked out next to Daddy on the couch!

I'm proud to be the fur-kid of my pawrents! Mama says I'm the family mascot! Bol!

Mama told Joey & Buddha we were going to the vet for s BIG SHOT. I'm not sure they bought it when we got home! Oh well! Bol!!

Squirrel!!!!

Let's play SQUIRREL!!!

Today we stalked a squirrel for most of the day. I was standing on the tree and at one point he crawled down about THREE FEET from me! WOW!

I kept telling him, "HI! I'M FRANK! CAN YOU HEAR ME? DO YOU WANT TO PLAY? I'D LIKE TO SNIFF YOU! AND CHASE YOU! WANNA PLAY TAG? DO YOU? DO YOU?"

The squirrel was snickering and saying things like, "Oh! I think I'm gonna fall!" And then he wouldn't. BAH!

THEN Buddha shot up like a bolt of lightening and GOT the squirrel!!! WOWZERS!!!!

We all had to come inside then. Just as it was getting good!

So me and Joey played squirrel. Joey was the squirrel, with the flicking tail and big pretty rodent eyes and I was Buddha, ready to SNAP at a moments notice and following her every move!

SQUIRREL!!! Boy, that's FUN!!!

My Mama is a water fountain!

We went on a LOOOONG walk today!

Furst, Mama and me and Buddha walked. Then we came home and traded Buddha for Joey! THEN we walked FUREVER!!

Mama had water, but it was in a backpack with a straw. What about MEEEEE?

Mama is so good to me! She's like my mommy bird! She took a mouthful of cold, clean water and trickled it into my mouth! I love water! I was so thursty! Thanks, Mama!

Joey didn't really like it. The water kept splashing on her nose and she didn't think that was good at all!

My Mama is my Mama bird and I'm her baby birdie!

Busy times!

We have had many busy times lately!

We met Gramma and Grampa for the furst time! They stayed with us! I liked them, they fed me pork from their plates! Smart folks!!

Joey and Buddha kept getting startled by them, it was silly!

Then our uncle came and stayed with us a few more days! He was fun and played ball with me!

Our environment is changing too - walls are becoming different colors and stuff! It's a change, but we're getting used to it!

Busy busy busy doggies! We helped with yard work yesterday and today it's suddenly cold and snowy! Yay! I love the cold!

Let's play! WOOF WOOF! Doesn't my bark sound GREAT and BIG-MAN-LIKE? WOOF WOOF! Let's play!

Revenge!

I must have revenge!!

Last night I hopped in the bathtub and Mama and Daddy KEPT me there! I love water, but I HATE HATE HATE being restrained, contained, anything like that!

They scrubbed me and realized I am like a ducky! So much fur, hard to get wet, and long to rinse!

I had had about enough and told them so! They said I had to be rinsed or I'd be sorry! No one wants to be soapy! It would itch!

When it was all over I was sure, I must get revenge!!

Furst, I dug a hole in Mama and Daddy's fancy bottom sheet. SCORE! Second, I laid in Daddy's spot on the bed and got it nice and WET for when he went to bed!

THEN I started grabbing stuff and taking it into the yard! Fun!

On top of this, this morning Mama FURMINATED me. There was SO MUCH fur! I'm afraid I'll FREEZE now! I have a secret hidden sooper-dooper undercoat!!! How will I survive without it??

Oh, it's not gone. Mama said we'll work on it more and more.

Mama also says I'm more aerodynamic now that I'm clean and brushed. Really? Hmmm. Let's play ball and see!!!
