Haircut!

Oh my...where did all my hair go? Mommy and daddy decided I needed to get a haircut. They said something along the lines of not being able to keep up with the matting. I guess with the winter coming, my undercoat is growing in and matting up like crazy...so out came the scissors and the clippers and off with my hair!

I do have to say, I did rather enjoy having the haircut, and felt so free and ran around like crazy afterwards. Mom will have to get a good picture of me without me being surrounded by my hair. I did not enjoy the bath after the haircut though. I just wanted out to run and play.

Oh..and my haircut caused mom to go into a terrible allergy attack...my poor mom. All the inhaled hair I guess would cause that problem!

At least I won't have snowballs stuck to all my hair this winter and....I'm sure I will be able to get some new outfits out of this!!!

Floating down the Yellow Breeches Creek

On Sunday mommy and daddy and two of their friends all went to the Yellow Breeches creek and floating down the creek on tubes! I stayed on mommy's for most of the time. I have to say that I wasn't too happy with mommy at first. She made me swim! The water was cold...but...I was hot. Anyways, the trip took us almost 5 hours and we got to see lots of nature. It was fun. We also got to see lots of canoers and kayakers and other people on tubes going down the creek. I got lots of "awes" and everybody said hello to me. Daddy found a pretty find flower at the beginning of the tubing trip and put it in my hair...we just wish we would have brought the camera!

Then again...it's good we didn't bring the camera. Mommy and daddy's cell phone and their friend's cell phone got destroyed in the water. They couldn't revive them at all. Oooopsies!

I told mommy and daddy that next time we go we need to bring the camera AND plastic ziploc baggies so nothing gets ruined. I demand my picture be taken floating down the river so everybody can see how much fun I was having!!

2007 Doggie Drag Show

Yesterday I got to complete in the 4th Annual Doggie Drag Show up in Harrisburg. Mommy put me in jeans and a shirt that said "Stray Dog". The jeans had black suspenders and the whole outfit was "punkish" as mommy put it. So, she decided to give me a mohawk. Well..the mohawk stuff she put in my hair didn't work really well, so the mohawk fell down really easy..but that was okay.

There was so many doggies there! I got lots of lovin' by all the people. They also kept saying how soft my fur was. It was fuN!

There were 4 different categories and I was put into "Butch Babe" which is where the girl doggies dress up like boys. I actually won 3rd place too and got a little bag with a few goodies in it!

Bad Girl

Daddy told mommy this morning that I was a bad girl. I don't know why! Mommy got up for work and since daddy has off work she was letting him and all the other doggies sleep in (you see I get up and follow mom everywhere...so when she is awake I'm awake).

So, I decided that I needed to wake up daddy and all the other doggies cuz I wanted to get my day started. So...I jumped up on the big bed walked up to daddy's face and kissed him (one big sloppy wet one), then, I walked over and licked Lizzie, then I walked over and licked Princey, and then...I walked over and gave Kody a big smoochy and he growled and then everybody was awake!

Now that is no reason for daddy to call me a bad girl, is it?

Can I Play??

Last night Kody, Princey, and Lizzie were barking and making lots of noise outside, so mom and I went to the back door to tell them to get their butts inside. After mommy yelled and said for them to come in, she heard the kids (they were behind our fence which is what they were all barking at) say "Can the little white doggy come out and play?"

Mommy pretended she didn't hear them because dinner was on the table, but mommy told me she'd bring me outside to play with them when we were done eating. Well, mommy did as she promised, but the kids weren't out there anymore!!

So...maybe another time I can go play with the kids. I'll be sure to tell them my name so I'm not know as "the little white doggy".

Spring Fashion Show 2007 at Petco

I did get to go to the Spring Fashion Show 07 at Petco!

It took me forever to figure out what to wear. I ended up deciding on what I was most comfortable in...my jean dress with the floral skirt trim. Mommy did my hair in the french braids and brushed me all out (I loved getting pampered and ready to show off my good looks BOL)

So, off mom, dad, and me went and guess what? Both mom and dad forgot to bring the camera and/or camcorder. Boy did they wish they did. They had a little "catwalk" set up that looked really nice. I got to walk up and down the catwalk showing off my outfit while they announced all about my outfit, my name, and how I love to play with my squeaky toys. I was lovin' the attention. But, I got more attention with my french braids than my outfit! Everybody couldn't believe I would let my mommy french braid my hair (by the way...mommy got a close up of them on my page along with me in the outfit I went in).

There were no prizes, but we got a treat, coupons, a poleroid picture, and a certificate of participation. I had so much fun!

Then, afterwards, I went up to grandma and grandpa's house and played with Apollo for hours while mom and dad helped grandpa move furniture into two other rooms of their house that were just carpeted and finished. By the end of the day, I was fast asleep!

Well, gotta go!

Love, Karma

New Puppy?

Daddy said it this morning...."Karma needs a new puppy". I think he was serious too! Daddy said that all my brothers and sisters are too old and don't want me to play with them. I will sit there and bark and bark and bark, and they don't wanna play...so daddy said I need a puppy to play with.....who knows what will happen...but from how mommy sounded, I won't be getting a new puppy to play with anytime soon.......

Santa Paws?

Well, today mom and I went up to watch Uncle Snickers. We had to take him outside and let him go tinkle and then we all went to the DOG PARK!

Snickers had a blast, while I was acting pretty shy and staying right at mommy's feet. After about a half hour I did start to play a little more.

Anyways, while we were at the dog park mommy saw signs for Doggy Photos with Santa! Well, mommy can't resist photos, so after we played, she took me and Snickers to have our picture taken!

We each had individuals and then one of both of us with Santa. I was a good girl and so was Snickers...we wanted to make sure we'd both get toys and treats from Santa Paws for Xmas.

The pictures are cute, but need a lot of editing. They were done by Parksforpooches.org, which is our local organization that helps get dog parks in Central Pennsylvania. So, all the proceeds go to that, and since we want a doggy park in York (the one we went to today is 30 minutes away), we were more than happy to help out. We bought some treats too! They are supposed to email us the photos tonight or tomorrow, so mom will do the editing then. They were so busy they didn't crop or take out wrinkles in the backdrop, so mom is going to do that before she posts them on my page.

Anyways, Santa Paws was a really nice guy! Hope you all get to see Santa Paws really soon!!!

Painting Catastrophy

Yesterday was painting day at my house. Daddy was off to work and Mommy and the rest of us knew what we had to do....and that was to paint the bedroom white.

The project started off okay...I pointed out nails that were on the wall and told mom to take them out and fill them. She did as I said. The other pups weren't helping...they were sleeping. Anyways, so mom said it was time to go to the flea market (thank dog we didn't pick up any fleas). We didn't run across anything we needed there, so we just picked up some brocolli, red potatoes, and bananas. Then, mom drove to Big Lots, left me in the car, and ran inside to get a few things. I didn't mind waiting in the car, because I knew mommy would buy me a new doggy toy (which she did!)

Anyhow, we got back to the house and mom was ready to paint. She started painting with the roller, but realized that in order to do the ceiling she needed an extending rod. Being the smart lady she is she went to our broom and unscrewed the handle and began using that.

All was going well and she wasn't missing any spots........and then it happened....

The broom handle (it was plastic) broke and all went flying...the handle first smacked me in the back.....and then came the roller...on my side...my head, and my back leg. I was covered in white paint. And, after getting attacked what was a girl to do but RUN! I ran out of the bedroom and all I heard mom say was "karma I'm so sorry so sorry" and then she started mumbling some not so nice words...apparently, after the roller hit me, it hit the center of the carpet and the paint wasn't coming out good.

After mom was done painting, I ended up getting a nice warm bath. But..by the time I got the bath the paint had all dried and mom had a heck of a time getting it out.

Here's the lesson: Don't buy cheap brooms for a $1.00 and expect them not to break when using it to paint.

A new Friend!!

Guess what? Next door to our house they got a new little puppy!!! Her name is Lady and she's really tiny! Mom said she's about the same size as I was when they brought me home (which was only 3 lbs!).

Anyways, I haven't gotten to meet Lady yet, but mom's hoping I will soon and that maybe we'll have playdates in their yard (they have a fenced in yard).

Mommy had a free puppy food coupon, so she gave it to the neighbor lady...it was kind of like a "you have a new puppy here's a welcome gift" gift. She seemed pretty happy to get it.

Here's the sad part though about their new puppy....they had a white fluffy maybe Bichon mix doggy named Ozzy that always barked at us all (secretely I liked Ozzy...he was mysterious). Anyways, Ozzy was maybe 8-9 years old..don't think he was much younger than that...he was still lookin good! Well, apparently Ozzy got stung by a bee and had to be rushed to the vet. His organs all started shutting down. The vet found out Ozzy had diabetes and somehow with the bee sting and diabetes everything shut down, and Ozzy had to be laid to rest. Pretty sad, huh? So young for Ozzy..and the day before he was fine and barking!

So, the neighbor lady went to the SPCA and got this little puppy, Lady. Lady was found at a local park in a box. How somebody can do that with such a gorgeous puppy is beyond my mind!

Anyways, maybe over the weekend I can go and meet lady and play with her! I sure hope so!!!
