Howl-o-ween Tagged

I was Howl-oween tagged by my friends, Sophie and Cash.

Here are the rules:
Each player needs to tell seven random facts about themselves. Tagged dogs must post the rules in their diary and their 7 facts. Then choose 7 pups to tag and list their names. Let them know by pawmail or rosette that they have been tagged and to read your diary for the instructions on how to play.

1. I am most definately the naughtiest pup in my gang of 5!

2. I once locked mom out of her car at the gas station!

3. I got lost on a camping trip with dad, it took 3 1/2 hours to find me!

4. I HATE getting my toenails trimmed!

5. I'm the biggest doggie in the GM Gang.

6. I like to play in the snow, but hate rain!

7. I don't like wearing clothes, not even my Howl-o-ween costume, it makes me HOWL!

The 7 pals I am tagging in return are:
Buddy
Reign
Lyle
Cowboy
Mandy
Mackey D
Stewie Smalls

Tagged~~Again!

My good friend Ruby from the Dog House has Love Tagged me. It's a new Dogster tag game -- "You are Loved"!

You pick three Dogsters that you think are fantastic and tell a little about why! Don't forget to let them know how much they are loved with a p-mail, star or a rosette.

I am have so many pals, its very hard to choose!
Here are my choices:

Nadyia aka "NaNa" She has been my pal almost since I arrived in Dogster land. She is a very sweet and caring friend to all. I love her because she is beautiful AND she invited me to the Naughty Pup Club where she is an inspiration to all of us naughty pups!

Hope I love Hope because she is my game playing and joke telling pal! We are both members of the NPC and the K-9 Comedy Club. I can always depend on Hope to brighten my day with a joke or a game!

Lyle I love my pal Lyle from the Dog House and the RT Lover's groups because he is such a nice little pup. He had an accident and lost one of his legs and he recently had radiation treatment for a tumor yet he is always upbeat and just happy to be here. I love him because he loves to go fishing just like I do!

I love all of my pals, so if I get tagged again I'll have more to choose from!

Danny's Camping Adventure (Part 2)

Well, I got to go camping with Dad again! "Just Me and Dad!"
This will most likely be my last trip alone with Dad! :(

Here's my story~~Dad actually took Minnie first but she's a GIRL and wasn't having any fun! In fact, she was so depressed about camping she wouldn't eat.
Mom took TJ, Maisy and me camping for the weekend and since Minnie wanted to come home with her, I stayed!

Everything was going great and I was having so much fun~~fishing and making friends with the other dogs at the lake! On Thursday it was a lot cooler and a little overcast and windy. Dad said the weather was just right for fishing!
Well, the overcast skies and wind soon turned to a major storm! The water got really choppy and started splashing over the top of the boat.....Dad headed to the dock as fast as he could, but I was totally "freaking out"!

When we got almost to the dock, I'd had enough and decided to bail out! I tried to make it to the dock but missed and landed in the lake. I swam to the boat ramp and ran as fast as I could to get away from the boat and the lake! Dad was "freaking out" because he was in the boat and I was long gone before he could get the boat tied up to come look for me. He called and called for me but I couldn't hear him! He had to get the boat out of the water before he could do a full search, by then I was "Gone With the Wind" and it was pouring down rain and hail.

As soon as the storm let up Dad formed a search party (he and a neighbor camper) and went looking for me. I was just no where to be found and so many places to look! Dad finally called Mom (at work) after I had been missing for about three hours. Guess what~~Mom "freaked out"! There are rattle snakes and coyotes all over those hills around that lake! (I already had an incident with a rattle snake~~as posted previously in my diary). Mom left work and was about to drive the two and a half hours to assist in the search.

After calling Mom and getting her all upset Dad headed back to the camper~~defeated! When he got back to the camper, there I was sitting by the steps, patiently waiting for my Master to return and let me in! I was one soaking wet and muddy little doggy but other than that, I was fine and happy to be home (my camp home)!

I'm not telling anyone where I was or what I was doing for three and a half hours~~just in case I have to make another escape at Lake Pueblo! Mom says that's not ever happening!! Dad's grounded from taking dogs camping alone~~he is just not responsible enough!

Tag You're it!

Hey puppers! My pals Hope and Sophie tagged me and now I'm it. I get to choose 7 of my pals to tag.

I Really Did it This Time!!!

OH MY DOG!!! I really did it this time! I'm in deep doggy doo doo! I may never get out of my puppy prison this time!

Here is the background story for my latest naughty~~To make a long story short, our human daddy had surgery for Bladder and Prostate Cancer a few months ago. The surgeries were both successful and he is cancer free! There is only one tiny problem, he can't perform some desired functions. Being quite young still (only 51), the doctor prescribed some medication! Yes, we are talking about the little blue miracle drug! Mom went to Costco to get the prescription filled today and had to pay $207.54 for 20 tablets of this wonder drug! The prescription plan doesn't cover this particular drug, maybe because it's a "recreational drug"???

Now for the rest of the story~~
Mom came home from Costco, came in and put down her purse (containing the wonder drug) then went back outside to unload the car of the rest of today's shopping spree. Dad actually went out to help (I'm thinking maybe he wants to be able to use his miracle drug??) After the car was unloaded, mom started putting away all the bargains of the day. When the task was nearly complete, I came trotting into the kitchen with my prize of the day~~one very chewed up medicine bottle minus the medicine it contained. To put it mildly, mom completely freaked out! I can't even describe Dad's reaction (freaked out does not even come close!) Mom couldn't even imagine what 20 tablets of Viagra would do to a dog and Dad was just pissed! After a quick search of the house, 16, intact, tablets were recovered! Mom made a quick call to the Emergency Vet~~after the vet quit laughing and after she said she had never had this particular problem arise, she suggested that we induce vomiting. Well now, since there are 4 dogs that live in this house and we can't be 100% sure which dog or dogs may have eaten the miracle drug, 4 dogs had to be induced to vomit! Luckily (or not) mom had a bottle of Syrup of Ipecac in the 1st Aid Kit. Another OMD, it works really well! We were confined to the bathroom, so at least the mess was in one place but WHAT a nasty mess and not one blue pill in any of the piles!
Maybe the other 4 pills will eventually show up, maybe not, but for now everyone seems fine, no ill effects, nothing else COMING UP and the girls seem to be safe from the boys!
Mom learned a valuable lesson today~~~Heed those warnings that say KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS!

Oops I Did it Again!

In the past, I have been known to take off with some ingredients for mom's meals. Most times not really a big deal, she has been able to replace or substitute. Tonight, however, I took off with the whole meal! Oh boy, I'm in the Dog House now!
Here's the rest of the story~~~

Dad came home from work hungry as a Dog! He had a craving for Ruben Sandwiches so mom, being the good wife and wanting to please her man, took off for the nearest Deli to purchase the ingredients. She bought a pound of Corned Beef ($8.99 for about 10 slices), Deli Baby Swiss Cheese ($4.99) and Dark Rye Bread ($2.89)! All these items fit neatly in one bag. When she got home she foolishly set the bag down on the table and went to talk to dad. She talked just a little too long! When she came back to the kitchen the whole bag was gone!! What she found was one shredded plastic bag that had just contained a pound of Corned Beef, another shredded plastic bag that still held a tiny bit of mangled Baby Swiss Cheese and yet another bag torn open with it's Dark Rye Bread spilling out all over the place. Mom said some very bad words when she found this mess! I think she's really mad this time!

Mom found out later that I did have at least one accomplice--Minnie threw up big chunks of corned beef all over her bed! More bad words from mom!
I guess the whole gang is in the DOG HOUSE! We'd better be extra sweet or we could get traded in for the cute little babies!

Later. . .

Camping Fun!

I got to go on a camping trip with Dad from Sept 4th until the 16th so Mom has been totally unaware of my naughties until today. When she got home from the Bronco's sorry game, Dad had plenty to report!

He took me fishing every day and faithfully put my life jacket on everyday and I was very good in the boat. Two days before we came home Dad decided that because I had been so good, I could leave the life jacket off! He even took pictures of me being good without the life jacket! Five minutes after he took the last picture, I jumped ship~~yes siree, I jumped right into the lake without my life jacket! Dad found out I could swim and how much easier it is to retrieve a doggie in a life jacket than one without. That was just the start of my very "bad day"! When we got back to the camp site Dad chained me up so he could unload the boat. I started barking (like the mailman was there) and pulling on the chain so Dad came to investigate. What he found was a 4 foot Rattlesnake all coiled up and shaking it's little rattle at me about 3 feet away. He hurried and got me out of there and put me in the camper (unattended) while he called the park rangers to come remove the snake! Of course he had to stay outside and make sure the snake was removed and then had to visit with the park rangers for awhile. The entire time I was inside having the time of my life! I found a whole bag of fish fry mix on the table and scattered that every where and ate a little of it too. I chewed the nozzle off a can of "Easy Cheese" trying to get some for the stack of Ritz crackers that I ate and made a mess with. I also knocked the stinking ashtray off the table and put all those nasty butts all over the place. Mom's so glad she didn't have to clean up all that mess!

So I didn't make it through September with out a naughty after all!
I'm not sure when I will get to go on another camping trip but Dad said something about a "cold day in Hell"???

P.S. There is a picture of my snake on my page!

Barney Award

WooHoo! Yippy! Hooray!

I got an Honorable mention in the 1st monthly "Barney Award" contest!
This fabulous award is bestowed upon Naughty Pup Club members for going above and beyond in the field of naughtiness!
It is named in honor of Barney, the guard dog, who went berzerk and destroyed a valuable teddy bear collection at a children's museum in London.
He is truly an inspiration to Naughty Pups everywhere!

Here is my entry for August~~

On Thanksgiving Day Mom was in a big hurry to get to sister's house and help cook the feast! She showered then put her make up on and curled her hair so she would look nice in case someone took pictures. The last thing she had to do was put her contact lenses in so she could see how to drive over there. They were no where to be found! She thought she had left them on the edge of the sink safely put away in their case~~not there! She spent half an hour of her valuable time searching for them before she gave up and put in an old spare pair! She had worn contacts 30 + years and had never misplaced them or had them STOLEN, but still, she did not suspect me.
Dad arrived at dinner a couple of hours later with the announcement that he had found Mom's contact lenses. She was so exited and said "Where did I leave them?" He said "in Danny's mouth!" and then dropped one very chewed up contact lens case and one half of one pair of those very expensive gas-permeable bi-focal contact lenses into her hand!
With new eye exam and new contacts, total replacement cost $562.00!
This was my very first real naughty at age 4 months!

This fabulous award was the wonderful idea of NPC member Kennitt! Thank you Kennitt for all the fun we have had with this award!
The lovely Sophie was the August winner with Nadiya, Flash, Hope, Dalton, Jackie Poo and me as Honorable mentions.

On the Blog Again!

I just checked out the Dog Lover's Blog and there I am again! How about that!
I posted very important instructions for PPP's ( Potential Puppy Parents) they are called "How to Prepare For a Puppy".
If you missed them on the blog, here they are- - -

How To Prepare For A Puppy

Pour cold apple juice on the carpet in several places and walk around barefoot in the dark.

Wear a sock to work that has had the toes shredded by a blender.

Immediately upon waking, stand outside in the rain and dark saying, “Be a good puppy, go potty now - hurry up - come on, lets go!”

Cover all your best suits with dog hair. Dark suits must use white hair, and light suits must use dark hair.

Float some hair in your first cup of coffee in the morning.

Play “catch” with a wet tennis ball.

Run out in the snow in your bare feet to close the gate.

Tip over a basket of clean laundry, scatter clothing all over the floor.

Leave your underwear on the living room floor, because that’s where the dog will drag it anyway, especially when you have company.

Jump out of your chair shortly before the end of your favorite TV program and run to the door shouting, “No no! Do that OUTSIDE!” Miss the end of the program.

Put chocolate pudding on the carpet in the morning, and don’t try to clean it up until you return from work that evening.

Gouge the leg of the dinning room table several times with a screwdriver -it’s going to get chewed on anyway.

Take a warm and cuddly blanket out of the dryer and immediately wrap it around yourself. This is the feeling you will get when your puppy falls asleep on your lap.

Mom will be handing these out to all PPP's of my new little brothers and sisters!

I'm a Big Brother!

Hey everybody! I'm the BIG Brother!

Mama Minnie and Daddy TJ have a brand new litter of teeny, tiny little babies!
There are 6 of them, 3 boys and 3 girls! They are so darn cute and do you think Mama Minnie will let me near them? NO WAY! She's one mean mama when it comes to her babies! All I want to do is sniff their teeny, tiny little butts! Is that wrong? Maybe when they are a teeny, tiny bit bigger she won't be so protective! Until then, I'll have to be content to just look from afar!

Oh and by the way mom wants to add something to my diary!


I was just reading in the forums (somewhere I should avoid) about all the bad stuff people are saying about breeders. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm not one of those Backyard Breeders.
My two breeding dogs TJ and Minnie have been OFA tested for elbows, knees and hips. They are cardiac tested and CERF tested!
Each puppy leaves my home with UKC and UKCI registration papers. I send them home with a birth certificate, a development page with photos I have taken weekly, as much information as anyone would need to raise a puppy, a toy that has been in the puppy pen so it smells like the litter mates and enough of the food they are eating to last a week. All the puppies are parasite free and have had their 1st series of puppy shots. I have a questionaire that potential puppy parents must fill out and a contract. In my contract I have specified that all puppies must be spayed or neutered unless purchased for showing (I've only sent one previous puppy to a show home) and I guarantee that in that dog's LIFETIME if he/she is no longer wanted I will take him/her back.

It's a shame that breeders or anyone who buys a dog from a breeder must face the wrath of some of those on Dogster who rescue dogs. Please don't get me wrong, I admire people who rescue and foster. I have two rescued cats and have had several rescued dogs in the past.

I didn't mean to write a book in Danny's diary, but it's important to me that everyone here knows that I'm all about improving this wonderful breed.
