Dyson (Monster)

We (or rather mom) was one of the ones selected by Dogster and Dyson to Product Test the new Dyson DC28 Airmuscle vacuum, goes on sale June 7th, 2009.
Product Testing for Dyson
We got one a few weeks ago and mom was a cleaning nut. Then she started having problems with the monster, didn't hurt our feelings at all. I would chase mom and that DC28, while the other went in hiding! I thought maybe that airmuscle monster was afraid of me and just stopped. BOL !! But no, mom, Dogster HQ and Dyson talk, next thing I know there is another one being delievered.
Well now I will tell you mom's side. You would not believe the way this machine picks up dog hair and dirt. Mom knew the old vacuum wasn't picking up the hair like it should but I had no idea how bad it was until she used this. She said the air even seems cleaner. you should hear her on the phone with family and friends. She even told my human aunt that when she goes to Texas to visit she will take it with her and vacuum her house. She said she would do the aunts houses and nana's house. Told them after they see how great this Dyson DC 28 AirMuscle is they will buy one. Even had a friend of a friend that mom doesn't even know call and mom told her about it and she is going to go buy one next week when it hits the stores. Mom was telling her things like, it has 2 filters, that you just rinse about every 3 months and let dry, it is a little heavy but not to bad. Mom said if everyone else had 5 dogs that shed you do have to empty the canister a lot and it would help if that was a little bigger but she doesn't think after using it regular she will have to empty it as much as the first few times.
Mom said now if she can get us to sit next to it with out me trying to bite it and SassyGirl being scared of it she will put a picture of the monster on our page!
Thank you Dogster and Dyson! (mom's words not mine!!)

I am the Boss!!

All the furs (even the fosters know it right from the start) in this house know, the house and the yard (mom too! even though she doesn't always go along with me) that I am the protector and ruler!
If we are all out in the backyard and someone goes by the outside of the fence, I make them get on the deck and stay until I think they are safe to get back in the yard. Well!! that little furball Rascal decided he would try to keep me off the deck! What was he thinking! that little white rascal, started barking and jumping at me like he could keep me from getting on the deck! I let him get by doing it a few times, when I decided he was serious!!! So I decided to take charge, I start to get on the deck (after the 5th time) Rascal barking his little head off and jumps at me, I growl and bark and jump back at him, BOL !! he jumps back and starts running to mom! BOL !! runs and stays under mom and starts barking at me. He must have thought mom was going to take his side. She kinda did, she told me to leave him alone but she also told Rascal to hush!
For about an hour he just laid there, didn't bother me. Well a big truck pulled up to the house so I made all of them get on the deck so I could peek through the gate and see what it was. checking back to make sure they were staying where they were suppose to. But here comes Rascal! What was he thinking!! I checked the gate to make sure it was ok for me to leave my post and went after Rascal! SassyGirl didn't like that so she joins forces with Rascal, they both start barking at me and run at me!! SO I show some teeth, they both stop, Rascal looks at SassyG like what do we do. SassyG takes a step forward, I jump at her and bark, she wised up and ran back to the deck, that just left Rascal in the yard alone with me!! he realized he was all alone and took off, straight to the door, where mom was standing! She has been telling me for a long time, that I am not the boss of the backyard. she made me and Rascal come in an lay down for a "break" while Boogie, who the whole time listened to me and did what I said and SassyG got to play.
This is all that furball Rascal's fault. If he would just do what I say we could go play too!!

Today is my 5th Birthday!

Woohoo!! Today is my birthday, been here 5 yrs. Mom said she is so happy too, cause the first few years she wasn’t sure I would make it to be 5. Not sure why, something about me eating the concrete, eating the hall wall, eating holes in the carpet. I chewed up mom’s Birkenstock shoes and dress shoes for work; I remember she wasn’t happy about that at all because she hadn’t even taken them out of the box.
Then there was the panty hose!!!! Mom said it is a good thing they game out! She doesn’t know I got them and ate them but at least I pooped them out! BOL !!!
Then there is the 2 sofa’s I’ve destroyed, I only say 2 cause the other 2 SassyGirl helped destroy them! Then there is under the bed! Did you know that there is this tasty material stuff under the bed and when you rip it off there are these silver springy things that you don’t want to get your nose caught in!
There is that noisy lawn mower that I hate so I chewed the tires on them, I have tried my best to get rid of the vacuum but those things don’t chew up to easy!
Of course there are the 1000’s of stuffed toys that have been de-stuffed, mom has stuffed them again and sewed them up just so I can take all that stuffing out again!
Think I will take a nap cause I’m sure later on mom will have me a steak and cake for my Birthday!

'Twas the night before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except wild-eyed Boxers named (me) Dallas and Sassy Girl;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
Not knowing the fawn and furry Boxer duo would soon be there;

Mom was nestled all snug in her bed,
While visions of secret treasures danced in mine and Sassy Girl's head;
Mom had no idea that me and Sassy Girl were getting ready to play,

When downstairs we heard such a clatter,
Mom sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Down the stairs we flew like a flash,
But the me and Sassy Girl had already tore open the presents and were having a bash.

We lay their proud of themselves as we chewed the fake snow
As mom looked down at the damage we'd done,
When, what to her tired eyes should appear,
But the me and Sassy Girl had decided to get up and eat our plastic reindeer,

With a hint of innocence, we were so lively and quick,
Mom thought it was a dream and gave herself a prick.
More rapid than a bear, their terror had already came,

"Now, Dallas and Sassy Girl! Mom asked us to listen, but off we went!
Around the house mom chased us until she was totally bent!
To the top of the stairs! Around the wall!
We dashed away! dashed away she was laughing at us both!

Our eyes full of joy-- how they twinkled! how merry!
Our cheeks puffed out from the mouth full of paper, mom so mad she turned red like a cherry!
The drool from our mouths dropped down in a steady flow,
And our chins white with toy stuffing looked like snow;

The ornaments we held tight in our teeth,
Was just a preview of the damage as we tore down the wreath;
Glancing into the kitchen mom saw the eaten Santa doll with the little round belly,
We even ate our Christmas grape jelly.

It was just so much to take in, a right jolly night itself,
And she laughed when she saw us, in spite of herself;
With a wink of our eyes and a twist of the head,
Soon let mom to know she had a lot more to dread;

We barked not a sound, but went straight to work,
Ripped down all the stockings; with one jerk,
And laying their paws aside their noses,
And giving a nod, up the Tree they rose;

We tore down the tree, making a sound almost like a whistle,
And down it came, breaking our crystal.
Then mom heard them exclaim, ere they ran out of sight,
"WOOF, WOOF, WOOF AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!"

Let's play a game!

My friend Maebe tagged me in this round of Tag. I have also been tagged by Giz (Gizmo) & Tiny & Bryan

I get to tell you all 7 things about myself and then I get to choose 7 pals who will tell you 7 things about themselves. I'll send them a rosette so they know they are It. When they each tag their 7 friends they can send them a pmail or a rosette to let them know the game is on! It's a fun way to learn more about your pals. So here goes!


1. I am 90 lbs of pure muscle lap dog! Have to sit in mom’s lap every night!
2. I have a special ability, I always let mom know when one of the other furs is sick. I let her know before SassyGirl and Brandy have seizures, when any of the others have an ear infection
3. I’m a big protector of my mom and other furs here at our home! Don’t you (dog, cat or human) come near them if I don’t know you!!
4. I will eat anything and everything (just ask about the concert floor and the hall wall) BOL !!
5. I make sure SassyGirl, Rascal, Boogie and the foster at the time, know and remember I am the boss. If someone walks by our yard, I make all of the get on deck until I check it out!
6. I can tell you if mom, pops or the mailman’s vehicle is within 2 blocks of my house
7. I am the one that gets along best with the foster furkids

So now I'll tag some friends and I hope you all have fun!

What have I done now!

I was pestering SassyGirl (that's what mom calls it), trying to get her to chase me. I finally won, YEAH!! but it wasn't a good thing for me! SassyGirl isn't near as fast as me. I was running and SassyGirl was was cheating like usual and cut across the deck trying to catch, so I jumped the (use to be) flower garden that I had dug up, I made it all the way across the holes and the corner of the deck and landed on the ground but it was muddy, I go sliding across the yard. Go to get up, my right front leg was hurting bad. being the tuff guy I am, I decided to keep on trying to run but that leg wasn't working at all. course mom gets all wigged out and runs to me, makes me lay down, filling all over my leg, as if she can tell if something is wrong. I know something is wrong I can't walk and run like I was on that front leg. Thats what wrong!!

Well, you know what is next, off I go to see Dr Greg! Iam laying there he starts touching my leg, of course I don't like that at all, so I gave him a warning with a growl and curled my lip up, then kinda did a little snap, just to get him to back away. Of course mom gets on to me. Well he tells mom she is going to have to hold my mouth and head away from him. (guess some other dog didn't like him examining him last week and took part of Dr Greg's thumb off) Everyone knows I will not growl or snap at mom.

He finishes examining my leg, says its swollen, and is just a sprang. What a relief, we were afraid it was going to be worse.
Then he goes, he can't run or jump for 7 days!!! Has he lost it??? Just what am I suppose to do for 7 days, without running and jumping and playing fetch. I will drive mom nuts! He gave me some pains meds.
It has only been a few hours and I am already doing pretty good at driving mom nuts. Every noise I hear I have to run investigate, or I use to, No!!, every word out of mom's mouth is Dallas No, Dallas Sit, Dallas Lay down. She did throw in a few SassyGirl leave him alone.

I think this is going to be a very LONG 7 days for all of us.

Sniff Sniff

Did you know our nose is its strongest weapon. In fact, it works up to a million times better than a human's. We use our nose not only to sniff out dead birds in the backyard, squirrels and burgers on the BBQ, but also to better understand each other. A sniff of the rear tells me all all sorts of things, including what you like to eat, your general health, and if your a female pooch if your pregnant.
Us dogs also use these talents to understand humans. With one whiff, "we can tell where you have been and what you have been doing, what you have eaten, and even whether you are not feeling well." I sniff mom everyday when she is getting dressed, it lets me know if she will be staying home to work or going to the office. When we sniff each other, we learn whether or not you are safe to play with or if we should retreat. Basically, it's just a way of getting to know each other.
To bad there is not a way to sniff over the Internet, because just like on all other places on the Internet, Dogster has its share of liars, cheats and thieves, just down right nasty hateful people on it. Of course, we all know if these people were acting more like their dog instead of acting like themselves it wouldn't be so bad. Cause us dog don't care about getting patted on the back, we do things for others because we want to not because we want to get the attention, we like to please our humans, where I have noticed alot of the humans on here want the praise or they start talking about others, start spreading rumors, start private groups to go in and talk about about others, then go in the public group they are in with the dog they have been bad mouthing in private and be all nice and helpful, only to go right back to the little followers they have believing that they are so great, just to talk bad about them. Have you ever thought that, this isn't the first time they have done this and as soon as you do something these people don't like, it will be you they turn on. We have sat back and watched certain one do this, they are all nice in certain groups to certain dogs and cats but then they go to private groups they talk bad about those dogs and cats. UNTIL!! they know they have been discovered and they turn on the ones in the private group. They wait a month or so, then they have their new private pack and start all over, then they are discovered who they really are and they turn on that group. It just keeps going and going. You know there are the ones too that make a mistake and instead of owning up to the mistake, they just dig deeper. Why not go to the dog you made a mistake about confess and move on instead of trying to cover it up. Kinda like when one of us dogs pee in the house, if the parents aren't home, they might not see when they get home, but after a little while guess what starts to surface, a nas ty smell and you are busted. Same with these people that try to cover up the things they do only to have it surface and the real them is discovered.
really wish 1 could sniff on here, I have a very good sniffer and I could really sniff out the fakes and the bad ones

Prayer for my friend Kokoa Girl

Please everyone keep Kokoa Girl in your prayers
She has reinjured her rear leg and now she hasn't been able to use her leg at all. She has been on pain medication since sunday, her mom has been putting the heating pad on every 2 hours for about 10 minutes at a time.
This is the leg she had surgery on before and there is a chance that it is unrepairable.

can't believe it!

I was all excited mom is home we were outside, still not sure what I did or how I did it but some how I sliced the top layer of my paw pad and it was just hanging. mom rushed me to see Dr Greg and he had to cut the hanging part off. now my paw is really really tender and I can't hardly walk. I still try to run and protect the back yard but mom is always telling me to stop running and she won't let me dig, infact she won't even let me go outside unless I need to do my business, then when I come in she washes my paw (which I don't like). I did get some pain pills but Dr Greg doesn't want mom to give them to me unless she absolutely thinks I have to have them. cause he thinks it will be even harder to keep me from running and jumping if I have no pain. mom said he is probably right!

The new girl in the house, Kiki

Well it has been a week now since Kiki came to stay with us. Kiki is our foster sister! She had a very terrible horrible life before getting rescued by Tulsa Boxer Rescue. So now we have another princess in the house. As all of you know my sister Sassy Girl is a major Princess Diva, well I think once Kiki gets the hang of living in a house and being loved on, she will Sassy Girl as run for the crown.
I have been really nice to her, I can tell she hasn’t had the best 5 years of her life, all she has ever known is having puppies. We found out this week that Kiki and 2 other of the girls that were rescued (Baby & Lovey) are littermates, they were born at the breeders, since they were old enough they have been having babies. They had to live outside, in the cold and the heat in small kennels, some were concrete and some were just dirt, they had small shelter. But the owner peeps told the rescuers that they were not pets they were livestock, they didn’t even call her by a name they called her #11. How sad is that! Her registered name is Mugsie, but she doesn’t look like a gangster, Kiki is a pretty girl.
Well she got “fixed” this week so she will not have to have any more babies. Kiki is really enjoying living in a house and getting to eat food out of a bowl. She was use to eating off the ground, took her a couple of days to figure out eating out of the bowl but she has it down now.
It will be a couple of weeks and Kiki will be ready to go to her forever home and someone is going to be so lucky to have her. She gives lots of kisses. Me and mom have been working with her to walk on a leash. Of course mom picked me to help teach her cause I am the Big D around here.
Please stop by Kiki’s page and check her out and see what a pretty girl she is.

Summer Beginning....Squirrels, Frogs and Birds

Wow what a hectic first half of 2008.

Can’t believe the year is just a month away from beginning half over. Where did it go? With mom being so busy at work of course I don't think she is spending nearly enough time with me. But then I do want to watch over her 24/7/365. You know I have assigned myself as her body guard!! Actually I am the whole houses body guard but especially mom and Sassy Girl. Then with Sassy Girl having the seizures I was waking mom up right before Sassy Girl would have one just to make sure mom was there to hold her.
I have been giving Boogie some training, I do have to admit he didn't need much though. He is a good squirrel, bird and frog chaser. In fact the little guy has caught 2 birds, one right out of the air. Mr Squirrel was in for a shock this year; usually he only had me to chase him up and down the fence. He did have Joker for a few short months and Joker showed him a thing or to when he climbed the tree and came after him. I am going to have to keep my eye on Boogie cause I think he just might try to climb one of those trees after Mr Squirrel one of these day. I think Joker just might be sending him ideas from the bridge. Then we have the frogs, one Boogie had corners the other night was just about as big as Boogie so I had to step in and back Boogie off and tell him I would handle this one. Then of course mom came over and spoiled the fun. I told Boogie it would not be a good idea to pick one up and go put it in mom's lap. I had already tried that one, let me tell you mom can scream.
Rascal, well he thinks he is as big as me and he as been testing me. mom said I am doing good cause so far I haven't bite his head off when he comes at me. one thing Rascal isn't afraid of me at all, you know what that little furball did, he decided he wanted to eat out of my food bowl with me. Stuck his head right in my bowl while I was eating and started eating my food. Then the other day we decided we would have a barking contest, well duh Rascal I am like 7 times bigger than you are and my bark is much louder. But he was giving his all, apparently Sassy Girl (who thinks she is ms mom of the furs) stepped in right between us and pushed Rascal back, of course Mr. who thinks he is so big didn’t like that at all and bites at Sassy Girl’s leg. Well Rascal gets in trouble for biting at Sassy Girl and our barking contest is over, so decide to try and get Sassy Girl to chase me, well that last about 2 seconds cause I really think Sassy Girl has ADD she gets distracted and stops chasing me to eat grass. How can eating grass be better than chasing me, so I try to get her attention by pulling on her little stub of a tail, then I get in trouble for pulling the little princesses tail the whole time Boogie is sitting at the fence watching for Mr. squirrel. So I go and try to help him and that silly squirrel starts his yapping, now for a little thing he is loud. Wish I could learn to talk squirrel and figure out what he is yapping at cause he is loud. You just watch out Mr. squirrel we are going to get you before the summer is over!!

The day I chose my home

It began back on a cold day in February 2004. Mom and Pops had gone to Wal-Mart. Mom saw there was a van in the parking lot that had a sign that said free puppies. Mom can never go past puppies or kittens without having to go look at them and hug them, plus they were missing a guest they had had at the house for a few week. The airport mom works at had a stray Akita running around on the runway (they nicknamed him Runway). They were keeping him in one of the hangars and everyone was taking care of him while they put signs up to find his family. He was very well trained. The manager of the airport said Runway couldn’t stay anymore they had to take him to the pound. Mom couldn’t have that, so she took him home with her. The house mom was renting didn’t allow dogs but she was not letting Runway go to the pound. She would take him home at night and on the weekend and to work with her during the day. They got to work one day Runway jumped out of mom’s truck when she opened the door and ran off. Later they found out Runway went back home. Mom still sees him and his dad running at the tracks on her way to work sometimes.
Anyway back to me!! Mom and Pops were walking up to the van and I jumped right out of the van into pops arms. He loved on me then mom loved on me and pops put me back in the van. No way was I going to have that, so I jumped back to pops, good thing he was younger then and fast with the arms, cause he caught me. They played with me some more and looked at my brothers and sisters but keep me in their arms. They really wanted to take me home, I could tell. But remember they couldn’t have pets!!! Dumb rule!! So pops put me back in the van and I jumped right back in his arms again. They knew I had to go home with them. So they told the lady they were taking me!! I was so happy I was kissing them. Mom stayed in the car with me and pops went in and bought me all kinds of things, toys, food, toys, and brushes, a collar and leash. I think he brought everything he saw. We got home and they played and played with me. Then it was time to go to bed, they hadn’t got me a crate yet so they put me in the bathroom. Nope, I wasn’t having that and neither was mom. Mom came and got me, took me to bed with her and I have been sleeping in mom’s bed ever since. (me and Sassy Girl take up most of the bed now, BOL !!)
In the mornings me and pops would get up really early, while it was still dark and go to pops studio. It was right around the corner from our house so me and pops would walk to work. Pops would put me inside his coat, my little head peaking out. We would get to the studio and I would play all day with everyone that came in. When mom would get off work she would stop and get me and we would go to the park, out to the lake and for walks. We would go to Petsmart and walk around; of course mom would have to buy me something. I got a new toy everyday!! That night pops would come home and we would all play and work on my sit and stay.
I think I probably set a Guinness World Record on the amount of time a pup went to the vet. If I had one thing pops didn’t think looked right and off we went to the vet. The vet finally had to tell pops he appreciated him putting his son through college but I was going to be ok, he didn’t have to bring me in every time I made a different noise or something changed.
One day mom had to go out of town and pops had to go to a meeting, so I was home alone for the first time. They had got me a really nice crate but pops just couldn’t leave me locked up, so he left me in the house but Nanna (pops mom) would come by to check on me. At some point between Nanna’s last visit and pops coming home. I decided to use the sofa as my new toy!! By the time pops got home I had completely chewed up 2 cushions. I think pops was worried what mom was going to say. Not me, I knew mom would understand. Pops called mom and told her, guess what, I was right!! Mom said oh well I will get some more cushions! That was one of many times we got new cushions. We ended up having to get 3 sofas before I grew out of thinking the sofa was on big toy. BOL !! I chewed through the wall, pops fixed the wall, I ate the carpet, and they fixed the carpet. I was growing up so big Mom decided I needed a big yard. So me and mom started looking at houses to buy. (remember they weren’t suppose to have me at the house we were living in) We looked at lots of houses in the afternoons when mom would pick me up from my studio. Some days I would go to work with mom so we could look at houses close to her work. I had to approve of the house.
You know now that I think about it I think I was only left alone once the first 18 months of my life.
Then pops decided I needed a sister to play with to keep me company while at the studio. So he started looking for me a sister for a surprise to give mom for Christmas. That is when we found Sassy Girl and brought her home.

The Protector!!

I keep trying to tell my family that that is just how it is. Don't try to change me!!
I won't let Sassy Girl, Rascal or Boogie out in the yard if anyone is walking by. even though those human can't see in our yard I know they are out there.
When Sassy Girl has one of her epilepsy seizure I always let mom know before she has it. Even if I have to wake mom up.
Pops was sick the other day, mom wasn't home so it was up to me to take care of him. I keep Sassy Girl, Rascal and Boogie out of pops room. He thought he was feeling better and tried to get up but I knew better!! I just put my paw on his chest and made him lay back down. I had noticed the time before when he got up he wasn't walking very good and kinda fell into the wall. I knew it was best if he just stayed laying down for a little longer, so I keep my paw on his chest until he went back to sleep. made sure Sassy Girl, Rascal and Boogie stayed out off the bed until mom got home.
Pops is doing better but I am still keeping a eye on him!!

I'm only a little to blame

Mom and I were playing catch. Sassy Girl has to come out to get some of the attention. I don't like when she does that. When it is me and mom I don't want her doing her little wiggle and hord in on my mom time. So I dropped my ball and started chasing Sassy Girl. She was running back toward mom, mom bent over just as Sassy Girl jumped. Sassy Girl and Mom hit head to head. broke mom's nose. When Sassy G stoppped, I ran into her, which knocked mom down.
mom has been walking around with a towel on her nose and face. she's kinda got a black eye too!
We keep giving mom kisses, I think they are helping her feel some better

More rapid than a bear, their terror had already came,

"Now, Dallas and Sassy Girl! Mom asked us to listen, but off we went!
Around the house mom chased us until she was totally bent!
To the top of the stairs! Around the wall!
We dashed away! dashed away she was laughing at us both!

Our eyes full of joy-- how they twinkled! how merry!
Our cheeks puffed out from the mouth full of paper, mom so mad she turned red like a cherry!
The drool from our mouths dropped down in a steady flow,
And our chins white with toy stuffing looked like snow;

The ornament we held tight in our teeth,
Was just a preview of the damage as we tore down the wreath;
Glancing into the kitchen mom saw the eaten Santa doll with the little round belly,
We even ate our Christmas grape jelly.

It was just so much to take in, a right jolly night itself,
And she laughed when she saw us, in spite of herself;
With a wink of our eyes and a twist of the head,
Soon let mom to know she had a lot more to dread;

We barked not a sound, but went straight to work,
Ripped down all the stockings; with one jerk,
And laying their paws aside their noses,
And giving a nod, up the Tree they rose;

We tore down the tree, making a sound almost like a whistle,
And down it came, breaking our crystal.
Then mom heard them exclaim, ere they ran out of sight,
"WOOF, WOOF, WOOF AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!"

A day in the pool

Sunday the 4 of us (Critter Alley Crew) played in the pool, played chase, chewed on the water mister. it was so hot here this was the best way to cool down. when mom and I got up, we were in the front watering, (Sassy Girl was still sleeping, she needs her beauty rest, Rascal and Boogie were in the backyard) we noticed mom nearly had a flat tire so we went to get air in it, got back and Sassy Girl was up and not happy we went somewhere without her. teach her to sleep so late. BOL !!
when we got back mom mowed the back yard and decided we all needed to cool off. what better way than playing in the pool. it was Rascal and Boogie's first time. They loved it. We didn't get to have as much water cause Rascal and Boogie are so short. Next time mom will let me and Sassy Girl play with it full while Rascal and Boogie are sleeping
check out the video A day at the pool
the water always starts out clean but gets so dirty with us jumping in and out.

WOW !! I just found out I am one of the diary picks of the day! Whoo Woo !!
I have to tell mom I get more of those peanut doggie cookies she made yesterday than the other 3 cause today needs to be all about me.

tag - being loved

Here's the newest dogster tag - being loved!
Pick 3 dogsters you think are really pawriffic and paw a little about why! Let them know how much they are loved with a rosette or by paw mail! I'm guessing you can't love tag the ones that have 'tagged' you?!?!?

I was tagged by Della May Bottomline. Della is a pretty Boxer with a great guy a his owner. They are also Dallas Cowboy fans like we are. They are as sweet as they are cute!!!!

I don't know how I am ever gonna pick 3 dogsters. I have some pals & think they are all super special. This is gonna be so hard.

1, Kokoa Girl
Kokoa Girl has been a long time & much loved friend to our family. She is a caring doggie beautiful girl. I think one of the prettiest girls on Dogster. To bad she is married to Max, BOL !!, he is one lucky guy She has sent me some great gifts, one was HUGH jar of Peanut Butter what better gift could you get.

2. Tyson and his sister Molly.
They are our friends from Canada, ehe! BOL !! They are such a loving and caring family. Tyson is a funny guy and is always there to help any pup that is down. I just know if we ever meet we are going to dig our way all the way to China, we are both good diggers. We are both Boxer mixes.


3. Furio
He keeps tails wagging. there is his outstanding & wonderful Mom, no wonder Furio is such a special guy, he was raised right by his mom and dad. Even though they are our biggest rivals in College Football (Go OU Sooners!!) we have a great time during football season.

We do love all our friends and this was very hard too just pick 3.

unplugged Houdini

well I finally got unplugged. that being stopped-up is not a good thing. Dr Greg gave mom try this stuff that was suppose to taste really bad, I didn't think it was so bad, I even licked the stringe. They didn't know how mom was going to get me to take it. of course mom goes, no worries he will take it. guess since I have them thinking I am mean they think I am that way with mom. BOL !! I would never hurt my mom but I will hurt anyone that I think might hurts her. Anyway it worked a little but mom wasn't satisfied. So back to see Dr Greg, he told mom to get some Metamucil, which I have to say is very tasty. mom put it on my food for 4 days, the 5 days, I can tell you the stuff works. Sticks, moss, maybe a little seaweed, with all the rain we have had that could have got here some how. all kinds of things came out. now I am regular again. Or I would be if it would stop raining. that is a whole other story Sassy Girl will tell.

anyway, the Houdini part. I was at Dr Greg's office and the interns thought they were going to take my blood, BOL !! BOL !! one had me from the back one in front and one on each side. mom was on one side. I always have to have my muzzle on when I go see them cause I can intimidate them. Any way they had me all blocked in getting ready to stick me, next thing they knew I was out of muzzle, out of leash/collar and showing teeth in the middle of the floor. everyone but mom backed away. of course mom just goes, Dallas sit down. I sat down and she puts the muzzle and collar back on and they go get Dr Greg. he came in got my blood and we were on our way. no one can still figure out how I did it and so fast. Maybe I should be on that "You've Got Talent" show.

Exciting weekend

Saturday night around 1030 it got real exciting around here.
Me and mom were laying on the couch watching all the weather reports, Sassy Girl was in the chair. Pops was back working on the computer, Rascal and Boogie were playing in the hall. I heard something (mom did too) and jumped up and ran to the side door, stuck my head under the mini blinds and was growling and barking, mom looked and the lights were on in pops car. She went and told pops he went out, but I knew something wasn’t right and ran to the front door (it is glass door, when I runs like he was, mom knows something is not right) I hit the door at a run, there was a man trying to open the door. Mom is surprised it didn't break. the man just stood there, then pops was at the front door, he ask the man what he was doing, he told pops he wanted in. (I’m still growling and barking, Sassy Girl, Rascal & Boogie all ran in Sassy Girl’s crate) I was not listening to mom at all, I was mad and wanted to get to that guy. Pops was still out there talking to him, asking him why he wanted in our house and the guy said he lived across the street. Mom said he doesn't. Pops and the man walked to the middle of the yard and were talking and started walking to the house across the street and the guy took off running and pops took off after him. Mom called the police. Then mom put on my leash and they went out front. Sassy Girl and Rascal moved to the front door, to watch. We could even hear them barking. Then here came pops and the guy back down the street. pops didn't have any shoes on and the guy was big, he probably out weighed pops by 75 lbs. mom and I were still in the front yard, but I listen to mom this time and stayed sitting but was growling and barking. then the guy sat down in our yard. Finally the police came then another police car showed up. some of the neighbor came out then and were talking to mom. The guy started getting something out of his pocket, the police told for him to stop, I started growling and barking again. The guy threw something at the police, we found out after they put the handcuffs on him it was a cell phone. They put him in the police car and left.
Pops said the guy was messed up on something, he was about 25 yrs old and keep telling pops he didn't know where he lived. Then he told the police the same thing.
Pops told us it was the same guy that was on the side of the house a couple months ago trying to get in our neighbors yard which pops chased off. He told pops then that he was checking to see if his dog was in there backyard. Pops told us when he came in that the guy told him and the police the others that were with him ran off. Pops told us he was way to old to be running like that in the middle of the night. I think pops should have just let me at him then he wouldn’t have had to run like that. BOL !!

my little bro Joker aka lil Dallas

My heart aches and my eyes are filled with tears...
To hear that my little pal Joker is no longer here.
It won't be the same without the little guy...
And I will think of him every time I raise my eyes to the sky.
For he has gone to a more peaceful home...
A place where he can be free to roam.
A place that knows no pain or sadness...
A place that only knows joy and happiness.
He's gone forever, but not in my heart...
He's always going to be remembered so we will never be a part.
Farewell, my pal, my buddy, my friend.
For we shall meet once again in the end.

thank you, Rex Mi AMor!

Road Trip - Maryland, Pennsylvania, Washington DC area

I am in the Maryland, Pennsylvania, Washington DC area today. took everyone on the train ride from Maryland to Pennsylvania. I have Axel , Mokey, Sadie, Carson, Karma, Daisy, Princey Boy, Kody, Lizzie, Klover
Of course we did have one small problem, we don't think it was a problem but I guess the Train people did. Axel got thrown off for howling along with the whistle, I actually thought he was pretty good.

On the Road in Massachusetts

Bailey, guessed I was in Massachusetts where with him and Willie, on the B.U. Bridge, the only place in the world a boat can go under a train that can go under a car that can go under a plane. We're enjoying Sam Adams Winter Ale and lobsters almost as big as Willie! Willie and Bailey are the best guy and they can cook up that Lobster. they have been showing me around the State of Massachusetts. did you know The Children's Museum in Boston displays a giant milk bottle on the museum's wharf. If it were real it would hold 50,000 gallons of milk and 8,620 gallons of cream.

Party in New York

well the New York trip was a night to remember of course Kokoa Girl, decide we all had to go to Hooters. Kokoa Girl, didn't realize those girls were gonna get me, Rocky, Sarge, Gibbon and King, all snockered up with the shots of tequilla. Kokoa Girls, mom still isn't happy about King having the fake ID and sure enough the little punk spewed ALL over the place when he got home. I am not real happy with the little gift Gibbon left in the car and no it wasn't a hockey puck. Of course King isn't as old as the rest of us so that's what happens when pups like that try to keep up with us "BIG DOGS"!! Last thing I remember was Kokoa Girl falling off a bar stool. Rocky being the older of us all was trying his best to keep us all in line but once Kokoa Girl and Gibbon get going there is no stopping them.

New York New York

My Friend Sydney, guessed I was in New York. I stopped and took Rocky, Sarge, Kokoa Girl, King, Gibbon out on.
What a great group of friends, there is so much to see in New York. Think of all the sports in that little state. All the places to see. But the best thing about New York is the friends.

Rock-N-Roll

my friend Bailey, is good he got the guess that I was in Ohio visiting my good friend Seamus, we made it to the Rock-N-roll hall of fame and we were the ZZ Top Dawgs! BOL!! all the ladies were wanting out autographs. BOL !!

On the Road again

this place has a little of everything, from the first professional baseball team, they had the first city lighted by electricity way back when. they claim to have the first chewing gum and the first hot dog. Football is famous there and with a little Rock-n-Roll

where am I?

Yummy Michigan!

my friend Bailey, guessed I was in Michigan. I stopped and took Sadie Boo, Stormy B, Klemy Q-Tip, Keisha, Kitty, Xeena, Adolf, and Jackson, out in a Hummer Limo we had Cherry Pie, did you know Michigan has the worlds largest Cherry Pie, mom would have loved that, Cherry Pie is her favorite

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it snow

I finally found some snow!! oh Sassy Girl I know you are wishing you were with me but I hear you are getting snow at home on Friday. Anyways, I found snow-covered forest that is warmed by the glow of lantern light. Skiers can traverse a cross-country trail, guided by more than 75 lanterns. did you guys know that every state has had an amusement park, I didn't know there were so many different ones.
note to self we will have to come here this way in the spring there is so many place to swim and daddy'o can fish.

does anyone know where I am?

On the Road in Indiana

I made to Indiana and stopped and saw my friends Hobbie,
Indy, Boscoe we went to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum

My friend Karma guessed I was in Indiana.

watch for the next clue!

where am I now?

I should have come here in December, did you know they have a town named after the jolly guy in the red suit! wow lots of water and even a beach. I though beaches were only on the east or west coast. so how much I know

The Blue Grass of Kentucky

well my friend Teddy from the bridge figured it out I was in Kentucky. While in Kentucky I took Della May, Lyle, Spring, and Autumn, for a spin in my car, while Little Bit was watching over us

going to rest a bit then hit the road to go see some more pals! will put up a new hint later

Heading On

I was barely listening to mom (as usual) and she was saying something about I had to look for blue church on a hill and a Derby. isn't Derby a hat or did she mean one of my pals Derby? I am really not wanting to go to church so I might pretend I didn't hear her say something about a churchhill. but I do what to see what she meant by the blue, cause that is strange, mom does not like the color blue at all, unless it has to do with the Dallas Cowboys, wonder if they are around here somewhere, maybe that is the blue she is talking about. So does anyone know where I am headed?

Made a stop in Missouri

ok I made a stop in Missouri to see our pal Clyde . what a great guy! We had to send a special message to our friends Seamus and Furio you can see our special message from our picture. BOL !!
no one figured out where I was from my Hawg Heaven? in Kansas City they have the Harley Davidson shop and also in my picture it said wonderdog. in Missouri is Jim The Wonder Dog http://www.jimthewonderdog.com/
moving on! everyone have a great day! welcome back Willie.

Congrats Little brother Joker on diary of the day!

On The Road Again!

I rest some from my night on the town with Rio and Lexy then hit the road again. Rio was doing really good, have to keep those prayers for him for those Cysts Be Gone! What 2 really great friends.

Next hint: I am in Hawg Heaven!!

Will be stopping in on someone else later today!

1st road trip stop

ok so I decided not to rest last night (I was still to upset about my Dallas Cowboys not winning)
Anyways, Hayley got it right, she does have that advantage from being able to see from the bridge, she is one of the angels watching over me.
So I was cruising through Kansas and stopped to see my pals
Rio and Lexey, WOW those 2 are great! Since Rio has been sick he really need this time out to forget about all that has been going on and have a good time so we snuck out and went to the Wildlife park. you would not believe some of those animals. some of those BIG guys were not just real friendly. I had Rio and Lexey home before there mom even woke up.
had a great time with Rio and Lexey (note to self, Lexey is one pretty pup)

Stopped to watch the Dallas Cowboys play

well I stopped and watched the Dallas Cowboys play, they played pretty good but we lost so I had to go vent cause now we aren't going to the playoffs. So I went out and dug some holes, found a river to swim in (I know mom, I shouldn't have done it alone, sorry) then found some sticks to pick up and throw in the air to catch.
I'm back on the road and will show up at some of our friends house tomorrow.
I have seen some Oil wells, airports, I even saw a stadium.
Who will I see tomorrow?
check in tomorrow

First Check-In

ok so I promised I would check in, I haven't been gone that long and mom has called me every 10 minutes. I told her I am 3 yrs old now I am not a puppy anymore. She said something about I was still her little boy, oh please mom you have 3 more in the house Sassy Girl is still only 2 and then Rascal and Joker are both only 2 months old, let me grow up, please!
ok so I had originally told mom and dad I was taking Route 66, but talking to Sassy Girl I decided to go another route. Right now I keep seeing something that says Chisholm Trail.
WooHoo......Seamus, Furio, Duncan, all you guy should see this cute thing walking with her peeps. She was checking me out too!
ok ok back to paying attention to the road. I will let you guys know something later on other attractions I am see. I should have brought my cowboy hat, there is a lot of western stuff, this looks like cowboy area

on the road

Mom packed me some cool stuff, her GPS tracker, a bunch of treats, some stars, rosettes and bones. dad loaned him a Laptop and a super High Tech Lightning speed Satellite connector.. some treats and a coupon book for cheeseburgers.. Loaded up the car (on loan from my Vet, Dr Greg) I wanted to take the Harley but thought I might be able to pick up a few pals along the way. Sassy Girl brought me one of the cell phones so we could stay in touch.
I will check in when I can and give ya an idea where I am and where I might be headed next.

Virtual Travel

ok these 2 new pups around my house have got me wanting to get on the road. so thought I would visit different pals. Headed out on Route 66 (out of Oklahoma) we will have to see where I stop first

Dallas' Christmas Carol

.... to the tune " a Winter Wonderland".


Dog tags ring, are you listenin'?

In the lane, snow is glistenin'.

It's yellow, NOT white - I've been there tonight,

Marking up my winter wonderland.


Smell that tree? That's my fragrance.

It's a sign for wand'ring vagrants;

"Avoid where I pee, it's MY pro-per-ty!

Marked up as my winter wonderland."


In the meadow dad will build a snowman,

following the classical design,

Then I'll lift my leg and let it go Man,

So all the world will know that it is mine!


Straight from me to the fencepost,

flows my natural incense boast;

"Stay off of my TURF, this small piece of earth,

I mark it as my winter wonderland.

Give Thanks everyday!

It's the time of year when we're reminded to give thanks.
Why can't we make every day one of thanksgiving;
Us dog make each day a unique gift
We give a hug and kisses for no reason;
Say I love you, just because;
I am truly Thankful for family and friends,
I'm truly blessed to have each and every one of you in my life
And I am thankful you have allowed me
To be a part of yours.
May you and yours have a safe and memorable Thanksgiving.

My Tail of Devotion for Dallas

This is a special Tail of Devotion

See All Tails of Devotion

Mom is so mad with Petsmart

boy mom is mad! she just read on Petsmart Daycamp page that "Bully breeds" are not allowed to attend there daycare. We will never shop at Petsmart again and asking all our friends and relatives not to either. We have sent them an email asking why.

Here is what the website states:
Who may attend?

Dogs at least five months of age
Dogs who have been socialized with other dogs
Dogs who are in good health (no fleas, ticks or contagious illnesses)
Dogs who have the following vaccinations: Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper, Parainfluenza and Parvovirus (please provide written proof from a veterinarian)
Who may not attend?

Intact (unneutered) male dogs or pregnant females
Dogs who haven't been socialized with other dogs
Dogs in the "bully breed" classification (e.g. Pit Bull Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Bull Dogs or mixed breeds that have the appearance or characteristics of one of these breeds)
Wolves/wolf hybrids

Why couldn't they have just said they didn't want dogs that weigh over 35 lbs. Most "Bully Breeds" are sweet loveable dogs. Sure I have had my problems. I was just protecting my area even some little dogs would have done that.

Our pal Jake started a petition. Please sign and pass on if you don't agree with PetSmart's breed discrimination.

Love my MOM!

Thanks for never getting mad about the muddy paw prints, chewed up carpet,
wholes in the walls.
You just say those are just things that can be repaired and off we go to play some more.
I remember the day your house became my home.
I was so small then with tiny paws. I bounced around the
room playing. It was time for bed and I was to scared to
sleep alone and cried so you picked me up and your bed
has been my bed from then on.
As I have gotten older I felt I need to protect you and I barking at
everyone who comes near our home.
When you come home from a long day at work I am there wagging my
tail ready to play so you can relax and release the stress of the day
When you sit to watch TV all 90 lbs of me hops in your lap ready for our
nightly cuddle.
When it comes to the weekend we have you to ourselves all day for 2 days
we go everywhere with you. my mom, my best friend

Love you mom

Egg Hunt

we had oour annual egg hunt Easter morning! it was my 3rd and Sassy Girl's 2nd. we had so much fun. course Sassy is not as fast at finding them as I am. I got twice as many as she did. they were the plastic eggs with great treats in them. mom was laughing at us and of course she had that camera thing with her. snapping away! she put one picture on each of our page. I don't know how she picked the picture she put on. I don't think she picked the best one of me, she didn't get my good side. but then she is not the best picture taker. she is to busy laughing at us while trying to snap the picture. we got these hugh stuffed toys that are as big as we are but she hasn't put those picture on here yet.

oh the life of being spoiled. I do wonder many times if my brothers and sisters have as good a life as I do. haven't seen any of them since I was 6 weeks old. I hope they got as great a home as I did.

well time to go nap. hope everyone had as great a weekend as I did

Oklahoma trying to pass stupid dog laws

some people came to the house today asking mom to sign something to ban dogs like me in oklahoma. About that time I walk up to the door. I swear the one mans eye got as big as saucers, they were about to pop out of his head. of course mom started telling them what she thought of there survey. mom is so mad, here is what they want to do first
Owners of "pit bulls" (defined as American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terrier or any dogs displaying the physical characteristics of these breeds) would be required to register their dogs, keep them muzzled and leashed or in a secure enclosure, purchase additonal $100,000 liability insurance, spay or neuter the animal, and abide by a host of other care conditions. Violators will face steep penalties, including up to $10,000 in fines.
If this passes then mom thinks they will try to make her get rid of dogs like me all together.
mom was telling these people that came to the our house that dog's behavior needs to be put at the right end of the leash - with the owner. Targeting a certain breed is not the answer. Stricter penalties for negligent owners and promoting responsible dog ownership needs to be done.
Of course mom did not sign the stupid paper and she doesn't think any of our neighbors will either cause all my neighbors love me.
We are writing letter today too all our senator, govenor and anyone else we can find to write or call

Heaven's Gift

Heaven's gift has come to man.
Mortal fate rests
Within tiny hallowed hands.
Shepherds singing, a shining star,
Angels proclaiming,
Kings bearing gifts from afar.
A scene of serene glory,
The weight of a holy hush,
The meaning of heaven's story,
'Twas God's first Christmas gift to us.

Who would recall the power of that day,
At the time when He was led away,
Bearing a crown, a robe, and fateful wounds?
Was He not the gift from heaven's womb?

Shall we turn from that holy day
And walk away unchanged?
Will we allow it to envelope our souls
Only to let it slowly slip away?

Through plastic, tinsel, parties and gifts,
Shopping, planning, and Christmas lights lit,
Can the simple gift be heard or seen,
Or does it quietly fade behind holiday sheen?

Let us not forget that He loves us so.
He loves us too much to let us go.
He sent a plan with His sacrifice
To forgive and cleanse and give us life.

Embrace the greatest gift of all;
Don't let your sense of the manger wane.
The gift of heaven is yours to receive.
It was the true reason He came.

Happy Birthday Sassy Girl!

Sassy Girl had her first birthday party, mom and I worked hard getting everuthing ready. Sassy was so cute eating her cake, mom said I was a good boy I sat there and let Sassy eat her cake first. I even wore that silly hat just for mom and Sassy. Mom even gave me a new toy so I wouldn't be left out. Love you Sassy Girl

Happy Day!

Dad finally made it by to see me, I was so excited, mom said I was showing off, Sassy was acting all nutty, all she wanted to do was sit in dads lap. Mom would make her get down and go sit with her so my and dad could play, I found a really big stick that I would show dad I could run and play keep away with him. he didn't stay very long but it was so good to see him. He said he would try to come over again this week.

A new month

woooh! A new month, I sure hope this month is better than the last. So far so good but it is only day one. It rained all night and mom let us out to play in the mud and rain.
Mom said dad is coming over to see us today, it has been a long time since we've seen him. I can't wait to give him bunch of kisses and play. Sassy will be all silly, she will climb on his head, mom says I use to do that when I was little too.

a new home

December 18, 2004 Moving day! Mom brought this big truck to the house. Dad started putting all the furniture and boxes in it. I ran back and forth with him. Sassy had to stay in the house, cause she was to little and we might step on her. We went to a new house that had this big yard that mom said was mine and Sassy's. This house is bigger and now we have a backyard that we can run around all the time in and out of the house.

Sassy

In December, pop came home with a little girl today and said it was an early Christmas present. She is so little and jumped all around me. This new little girl I guess thinks she is sleeping with us. I don't like this cause I can't spread out, plus mom put all these pillows around her so I wouldn't roll over on her. Mom says I sleep kinda wild sometimes.
