Likes:
All the kids on the street. Oh how she loves them. BALL!! BALL!!! Did we mention she loves her BALL!!

Pet-Peeves:
Roma and Pandora - our cats!!! When Mommy and Daddy spend too much time on the computer. When Murri Rae won't stop being a pesky little sister. Definitely hates "roll over", thinks it is way too overrated.

Favorite Toy:
BALL!! Her beloved Dollie after many "emergency surgeries" performed by Mommy, finally made its way to squeaky toy heaven. So now its all about the BALL.

Favorite Food:
Anything and everything- you know whatever Mommy's having is fine.

Favorite Walk:
Any walk. We vary the routes but she must go by all her famialiar faces: Mr Farley, Flamingo Lady, "Polly Princess", the home of Sugar, Buster and Rebel which is next to Steve and Lou for treats. Then the kids on the street if they are out playing.

Best Tricks:
sit, stay, sit pretty (beg position) she is going through doggy obedience currently

Arrival Story:
I was at a moving sale one day. The guy told me I could have her, that he knew I would give her a good home. I lied and told my husband that someone had just left her in our backyard. Several times I got away with the phrase to my hubby that "Gerdie picked us, we did not pick her." Well over a year of getting away with this lie, Gerdie escaped out the front door. Things would have been okay, but her former owner was in the neighborhood visiting some friends. Gerdie ran past him. My hubby finally caught up with her and as he was walking back home, the guy came up and asked if he could pet her explaining he had given her to us. My husband thought, who is this jerk wanting to pet her after abandoning her in our yard. As we walked away he put two and two together. All he said was "oohh you are so busted!! Busted!! Busted!!" For the next week Gerdie and I asked for forgiveness for our giant lie, he would just call her a garage sale dog and tell me he got to pick our next dog.

Bio:
I love her and she the best dog ever!!! She is literally the dog needed when it comes to the kid who just loves dogs TOO much - holding, squeezing, dressing them up, you know Elmira from cartoons. Well Gerdie is the perfect dog for them. I have never heard her growl or show her teeth in the two years we have had her, Everybody in a three block radius knows her and loves her. Kids are always knocking on our door volunteering to walk her. She has been the subject of many homework assignments and drawings at school. Seriously, I could not ask for a better dog.

My Dog Days to Life!


Mommy is slacking

So in April, Mommy started work again. As you can tell my social life via dogster has drastically come to a screeching halt. Mommy is promising me and Murri Rae that she will devote a little more time to our fans by updating our profiles a little more often.
Murri Rae has finally stopped jumping over the fence. She has started climbing trees. I don't know which is better. She also has been working on the trick "shake" for seven months and has not gotten it right once. Mommy has all but given up on her. Good thing she is pretty.


I am so lonely

Mommy has a full time job now- that I cant go with her too!! She works for the great state of TEXAS helping old people with their Medicaid- but she is always gone now! She says I can get my CGC training and go with her to the nursing homes after shes been there for a few months. I am excited about that!! I love people loving me. She still spends ther majority of her time at home with me though!!
Last weekend Mommy took us for a long walk then we went to our friends Steve and Lou's house. I thought it was strange cause Daddy was there with a big plastic bag full of mine and Murri Rae's toys. As soon as we were inside Mommy gave us both kisses and said to be good. Then she was gone!! I felt a little alone at first without my Mommy, but was easily distracted cause I could see Buster, Sugar, and Rebel just a few feet away!! Steve and Lou were great!! They gave us lots of treats and attention!!!! THEY LOVE US LOTS!! Even though we stratched them up. Mommy and Daddy clipped and filed our nails- but we were just too excited at the idea we were spending the night!! DID I MENTION THEY GIVE US LOTS OF TREATS!! I barked at every single squirrel I saw- they were baffled that I was not in the right yard. Murri Rae actually stayed inside their fence and BEHAVED!! Whatever that means. She did learn to climb trees- which I think provided some source of amusement to Aunt Lou and Uncle Steve. DID I MENTION THEY GIVE US TREATS!! We had so much fun that when Mommy and Daddy brought us home all we could do was sleep. We were too exhausted from being loved so much!! And all the treats!!


RACE FOR THE CURE

My Mommy and Aunt Melissa walked in the Race for the Cure today. Guess what though- they took me and Murri Rae. Aunt Melissa said I was an angel. I let anyone and everyone pet me- without jumping up and down on them. Murri Rae was called a heathen by her though- she poopied in the middle of the route in the middle of the race. She ran every which way and got tangled into a million things. She wouldnt walk up or down the stairs in the parking garage. Aunt Melissa took her in the elevator on the way down, and Mommy carried her up all 5 stories back up. Not me - I am a good perfect little angel.
