Tales (and tails) of The Flufinator

A guy who should write more!

My BFF, Coco Rose, asked me was there only 2 entries in My Diary....and I got so ashamed! Yup, I'm a guy who should write more, but you know guys,
we are more action, less contemplation.It's been a good year for me...heading into my 3rd year with my beloved Mom and adopted sister Pookie. My allergies have stabilized, I've trimmed down, weight wise (attention to all you big dawgs out there, that does NOT mean I can't whup ya still!!!). Unless I'm in a new place or situation, I'm pretty friendly with the people around where we live....I don't want Miss Hog-the-Spotlight Pookie to get all the affection and compliments, after all.
Mom says I am improving my "garbage surfing" ways....that means she watches me like a hawk when I am out so I don't dig up stuff and wolf it down.
Darn, a guy can't even have fun sometimes! Mom means well....she doesn't like seeing me get sick after a garbage run, lol!
After a pre-Valentines day bummer of having another pretty girl Tzu kinda dump me for someone else, I have a wonderful BFF, Coco Rose. This girl knows how to give, how to care, and I betcha she is loyal as the day is long.
Her Mom is a wonderful lady, like my Mom is. I sure feel blessed to have Coco Rose in my life!
Just got a major hair cut change a few days ago....check out my video to see...Mom says it's a bit drastic but should take a while to grow out and perhaps I will be less difficult to groom when my hair grows in. Yeah, right Mom. Sure. And pigs can fly, too! I mean, all this fancy hair do stuff is really for the ladies, ya know? I like my new lean and mean look.
It's just fine that Pookie has to spend all this time being brushed and de matted and fussed over....leaves me time for more interesting pursuits....like doing security detail in the parking lot, checking out everyone to make sure they meet my standards and that they're gonna be nice to mom, or at least neutral.
So that's my life, fellow Dogsters. Oh---forgot to tell ya how I give Mom the guilt when she comes home from working or just being out a while. I leap and cry, so she ends up giving both of us some Dentabone as a treat. I get more treats than Pookie, cuz I've learned to go into the kitchen when Mom's cutting up veggies....I do get lots of them!
Well, ya'll Happy Tails to you. The Flufinator signing out here.

Only cuz she's my mother!!

Geesh! Ya wouldn't believe what happened to me the other night!
It's sure tough being a kinda little guy.....especially when your mom is a
big lady!
Here I was, put up on the grooming table (NOT my favorite place to hang
out, you understand........) and OK, I know I gotta let her brush me and
get the mats out, yadda, yadda, yadda. But....then she wants to trim my
paws, my nails. Geez, a guy can't get any peace!
So, maybe I start squirming a bit....wiggle worming a bit.....then all of a
sudden, mom is leaning over me and holding me still....she's talking
all nice, but hey, a guy can't even move here! Then out comes the nail
trimmers and zap go the nails, and then the scissors, off goes the hair that
has covered my back paws.....
Then she's giving me treats and talking all nice to me.
Well, I never!!
I showed her what I thought of that! I didn't wag my tail when she talked
to me all night long. Let her sweat it.....I figure maybe she's cool it with
her high handed (or low bodied!) tactics, yeah?
But, don't tell her......I do feel better now that I can get some traction with
my paws all free of hair....the back of me doesn't slip while the front slides....
and I can't scratch up my poor skin so much with my nails shorter.
Only cuz she's my mother do I put up with these shennanigans!
It sure is tough being a little guy!

It's About Time!!! 12/22/06

Yo, guys and gals out there in Dogsterville! The Flufinator has arrived!
This cool dude in a red suit and funny hat...Santa....gave my Mom a Dogster
Plus membership and FINALLY I get to come front and center here.
It gets a little old with my fancy sister and all her long beautiful hair and that face and those eyes, yadda yadda yadda...
Now I, the Flufinator, have a fancy page with Dogster bling, and lots of photos and a voice too!
Thank you Santa!
Forgive me if I sound a bit rough around the edges....that's just posturing.
A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do.
Behind the tough facade, Mom says I am the sweetest little guy. She says I
have the heart of a lion, and lots of courage too. I have battled wicked allergies and lost a lot of my handsome coat...we've done Prednisone,
Atopica, antibiotics, supplements out the ying yang, food trials (and are
those a trial!!!!) and shampoos and on and on and on. It just gets old.
My mom cries a lot because I itch and feel miserable, and she can't "fix"
me. I hate when she cries, cuz I love that lady.
She rescued me from the streets, gave me a good home, good food, good
toys, good brother and sister (don't let them know I said that) and she is
a great mom.....but these allergies are something else.
I try to let her know that even with all the itching, boy, is my life a step
up since I met her. I let my fancy pants sister think she's the Alpha of the
pack, but I have Mom's heart, so let her have all the photographs, lol!
I have a really good bunch of friends here on Dogster....Bud, Lucky, Kolchak,
Jesse....Bud and I talk on the IM when mom is asleep and we can get on the
computer. Bud's the Man!
Well, guys & gals, just popping in to say I blew into town! Be cool and
have an awesome holiday!
Your buddy, Fluffy Lee, aka The Flufinator
