Arrival Story:
I answered an ad in the paper for a free collie. They had 3 to choose from but only 1 boy. He was apparently a show dog and his owner had to give them up due to a medical condition. they wanted only pet homes for the retirees. See my gallery at Zazzle

Bio:
about 2 weeks prior to the ad, I had a dream, I was yelling for "my" dog "Tennyson" (a collie). I woke up and it was so real for such a short dream but I didnt have a collie named Tennyson..... I do now! ( he was actually Striker in his previous life - but he didnt really answer to that.)

My brush with the law


That darned puppy

When is that darned puppy leaving? He comes in takes over my best friend.
Gets more attention than me. And so many cookies. Tesla plays with him all the time now. (almost never has time for me) and she wont let me play with him she gets mad at me. And if I get mad at him for being the pest that he is, she comes to his defense ....talk about spoiling him and creating a monster...
how come he gets away with everythng and I still get yelled at for barking?
If there's anyone with any advice.. I sure wish they would right to me and let me know how to get my best friend back... Tennyson

 

My BRUSH with the law

November 2nd 2005 12:49 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Well, It all started very early on Tuesday. Someone didn't latch the back door properly. My mommy was at work, and me and my sister were minding our own business when either the wind or the cat opened the back door. Now what dog can resist an open door to the wonderful world of backyard smells?
So we decided to take a stroll. Now my sister is a little more worldly than I (and she has done this before) so when our noses took us in different directions, she didnt think to keep an eye on me.
My mommy's roommate discovered we were missing at 4:30 am. and looked
around outside and called us, but by 5am she decided to call mommy at work and tell her.
Now momma says I gave her the scare of a lifetime, but honestly I didn't mean to... It just was too exciting to pass up.
Mommy got out of work early to rush home and try to find us. (or me...They found Tesla at 6am...apparently she has a better sense of direction than I do and didn't get lost. She was found walking down the street heading home).
Mommy tells me she drove all over the city in ever widening circles for 4 1/2 hours! Oops did I do that?!
Well I was having the time of my life running thru empty lots and down streets. Until some lady found me and called the dog warden, but she couldnt wait around for him cause she had to go to work.... so she asked the nice men at the gas station to hang on to me until he showed up. They said they knew I was somebody's dog cause I was so pretty. Well, kind of... you see all those empty lots I had a great time running thru had these mean ol' nasty burr bushes and I had them stuck all over my legs and belly and even on the back of my head (that must have been from smelling something really interesting under the bush).
Well, mommy had left a zillion messages with the dog warden but they didnt check them until after they picked me up or they could have brought me right home(I was only 2 blocks away) But, they didn't. They finally called back at 11am and said I was at the gas station. But when mommy got there the other warden had already picked me up. They told her I was on the way to the pound! Mommy started driving down there (what's another 1/2 hour she said), when she got a call on her cell, the Dog warden who I was hanging out with wasn't at the pound yet.... In fact, he was in the opposite direction. But he told mommy to meet him at the park in town and we could be reunited....
When I saw mommy, I was so happy(and tired) but she had this look of shock on her face. Apparently, had I looked in a mirror (they dont have any in the Pound van) I would have had the same look on my face.
After we got home I was SO tired I didn't even care that mommy was brushing me (I usually hate it) I even fell asleep while she cut off all the feathers on my legs and the fur on my belly. She says I will probably get stares from some of the other animals for a while, but she's just glad I'm home. And, you know what ....I am too. So happy in fact I slept the whole day away. I need my beauty sleep you know? So,That was my day, how was yours? Signed A Pooped Pooch.
