Tim's True Terrier Tales

Valentine Tag

Well, I got tagged by Spring, so I’ll take a minute out of my very busy schedule, and list 5 Valentine Wishes. Then, I guess I get to Valentine Tag 5 other Pups!

1. I won’t eat any of the mice I catch. It just doesn’t seem right. I will roll on them, though, repeatedly. That’s how I kill them. Sad, but true. I don’t mean to kill them, they just get kind of squashed and then they don’t move any more.

2. I hardly ever go on morning walks with Winnie and Star. I’d rather sleep in, thankyouverymuch.

3. Every night, at precisely 8:00 (unless I get screwed up by Daylight Savings Time or Standard Time changes), I do my Greenie Dance until Mom fetches me my evening Greenie.

4. I’ve recently Discovered Myself. Each evening I set aside a short period of time in which have my own private Pud Party (that’s what Mom and Dad call them) in the corner of the couch. If you don’t know what a Pud Party is, I’m not going to tell you. It’s Personal.

5. I’m afraid of darkened doorways. I think it’s a fallback to when I was lost, but there you have it. I’ll take my walks nicely lit.

“Uh, Tim?”

“Yes, Star, what is it?”

“Well, you were supposed to say something about Valentine’s Wishes, not hang out your dirty laundry for everyone.”

Oh - Valentine’s WISHES. Not interesting things to tell about me? Oh. How embarrassing. I guess I was preoccupied or something. Well, then. That puts a whole new (and less fuzzy) complexion on it. Uh, never mind that last list - especially Number 4. Wishes are easy:

1. Greenies. Lots of Greenies.

2. Grammy’s Pot Pie. Lots of Grammy’s Pot Pie.

3. More pet therapy sessions. I love the way those folks taste. Yum.

4. More time with Mom. Doing anything, going anywhere. I love my Mom.

5. More time with Dad - especially when I get to lay on top of him and take a nap while he’s “watching t.v.”

Let’s see. Who shall I tag?

Colyn
Mokey
Riley
Sadie
Dani

You’re it!

Tim.

I was Tagged by Axel and Sadie!

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. Every night at 8:00 sharp, I do my Greenie Dance in order to get Mom to fetch me my Evening Greenie. I dance around and throw my head over my shoulder and make soft little barking sounds. I know, it sounds weird, but it makes the ‘Folks laugh, and it Always gets me my Evening Greenie.

2. I insist that every Skinperson coming out of the Downstairs Bathroom pay the Puppy Biscuit Toll. Enforcement consists of standing right outside the door and refusing to move until the person gives me one of my favorite Diet Iams biscuits from the jar on the bookshelf.

3. I can’t hold my Licker. I admit it. People either love me or hate me because of it, but that’s just the way I am, and they can either take it or leave it.

4. My favorite places to ride in the Dogmobile are: (i) sitting on Mom’s right arm; (ii) laying in the passenger seat in the front; or (iii) sprawled out in the very farthest back part, next to the back door.

5. I bark to get Star in trouble. It works every single time.

6. I have a secret hiding place in the juniper bush. I’ve dug a nice hole there and sometimes I hide there when Mom comes outside wondering where I am. I always come out eventually, though. I can’t help it - I love my Mom.

7. I hate skateboards and anything that has wheels that sound like skateboards. They are all Instruments of the Devil, are Unnatural and should be Annihilated.

I’m gonna tag:

1. Jemma
2. Tilly
3. Bitsy
4. Raiko
5. Jackson
6. Bella and
7. Boomer!

Wonderful night air
We stop, I pee on Star’s head
She doesn’t notice.
