I’ve noticed - and I’ve informed Mom - that the only time I seem to write in my diary is when someone tags me.
As you can see, today is no exception. A little cutie by the name of Heidi tagged me! Apparently, I am to list seven things about myself that others may not know, and then I’m to tag 7 of my FurFriends. I’ll have to think about that part.
For now, here are my seven newsworthy tidbits:
1. I am not all greyhound. Nor am I a cross-bred with a deer, much to Mom’s relief and the misperception of several other Skinfolks.
2. On several recent occasions, while chasing my tail in a most undignified manner, I have actually caught it and bitten it. It hurt, so I cried. Enough said.
3. If I could, I would hide inside Mom’s clothes so she would put me on in the morning and carry me around with her all day.
4. I’m tired of doing Pet Therapy. I just go because Mom wants me to.
5. I’m always happy when Tim decides he doesn’t want to go on a walk. I prefer walking with Star and Mom. Tim stops and smells things way too much, and he always tries to tangle me up in his leash. He is a little brat.
6. When Mom is late coming home, I get nervous. Is she dead and lying in a ditch somewhere? Have gremlins kidnapped her? Did she stop for dinner somewhere and forget to bring some home for me? All of these are high on my list of dreaded possibilities.
7. When Mom does come home late, I hug her when she comes in the door. I plant my head in her legs, and wrap one of my front legs around one of her legs. That way she can’t escape until she has reassured me that she wasn’t involved in any of the dreaded possibilities listed in number 6.
I’m still thinking about 7 victims. I’ll let you know when I choose them.

Well, when I woke up this morning, I found I’d been tagged by my Bully Buddy, Ben the Bruiser!
If I read the instructions right, that means I am required to answer the following questions:
Name 4 jobs you have:
1. Beautifying the Couch
2. Beautifying the Settle
3. Correcting Star and keeping her in line
4. Giving the neighbors something to talk about.
Name 4 places where you have lived:
1. My First Family (who I hardly remember anymore)
2. The Capital Humane Society
3. My current home - Chez Winnie
4. Anywhere Mom and Dad go (they take me everywhere)
Name 4 places you have been:
1. Colorado/Wyoming
2. Kentucky
3. Idaho
4. Oregon
Name 4 places you'd rather be:
1. On Mom’s lap
2. The Settle
3. The Couch
4. My lounge chair outside in the sunshine
Now, I’m supposed to tag four other pups. Let’s see.... My victims will be:
Handsome and rugged Sergei,
Brave, outdoorsy Rupert,
Beautiful little Maebe,
and that little cutie, Milo.
Sincerely yours,
Winnie.

The Rules
(Hint: Copy and paste the rules so you don't have to type them again):
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their diary the rules and their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!
My Seven Random Facts:
1. I am expert at spitting out pills. If Mom shoves one down my gullet, I throw it back up. I can find a pill in any substance; and if someone tries to hide them in treats, I will refuse to eat treats. Mom hopes I never get truly sick, because if I do, there will be some real trouble treating me.
2. I’m not as snobby as I seem. To me, there’s nothing better than shoving the top of my head into the crotch of my loved ones, so they can fondle my ears and rub my neck. Well, okay, I may SEEM snobby, because I lay on the couch with my legs crossed, and can’t usually be enticed to play or do tricks or anything undignified, but I’m truly not as snobby as I seem.
3. I will follow my Mom anywhere. Even into that disgusting Branched Oak Reservoir. I don’t like swimming - it isn’t Dogly. I mean, swimming is for fishes, not Greyhounds! Besides, it musses my fur.
4. I don’t lay down. I fold up.
5. I love cold weather. Well, not COLD weather, but “light jacket” weather. I also love my Winter Coat. It makes me feel pretty.
6. Pointy-eared dogs scare me.
7. My final fact: don’t let Star know this, but I’ve gotten to the point where I really like her. Sometimes I play bow to her, and ask her to chase me. I love getting her in trouble, too. She seems smart, but when it comes to me duping her, she’s dumb, dumb, dumb!!
Let’s see - I think I’ll tag:
1. Smudge
2. Sergei
3. Dan
4. Boo
5. Floyd
6. Rigby and
7. Roxy!
