And now... Howard Stern? Stern has confirmed reports he has been approached to replace Simon Cowell when he quits American Idol.

Stern is currently in discussions with TV bosses to take on Cowell's spot on the show's panel when the Simon's contract expires in May.

And he insists he would love to take part in the series - if executives at TV network Fox can pay him enough money.

Speaking on his Sirius Xm Radio show, Stern says, "There's not a better job on the planet than judging that f**ing karaoke contest. It might be possible, we'll see. They'd have to pay me a ton of dough because I already make a ton of dough."

And Stern promises he will be even more frank with the wannabe pop stars than Cowell: "I'd say, 'Go work out!' I'm going to be frank with these people and say, 'You're fat! How many fat pop stars do you see?' I'm gonna wear a badge on my chest and say there's a whole new sheriff in town."

Stern's multi-million dollar contract with Sirius expires next January.

... that we're gonna sue your pants off for saying otherwise!!! Brangelina have issued a legal statement asserting that they are not about to split. The couple's lawyer announced that the pair had commenced proceedings against Britain's News of the World for making "false allegations about their relationship" – and said that the reports are not true.

The News of the World had reported that Jolie, 34, and Pitt, 46, had met with a divorce lawyer and were headed for a split.

On Sunday, Pitt and Jolie publicly showed their affection for each other by kissing and cuddling when they took son Maddox to the Super Bowl. Awwww! They're cute and all (when they act like regular human beings).

Jennifer Aniston has further fuelled rumours she is dating Scottish hunk Gerard Butler - after she invited him to join her early 41st birthday celebrations in Mexico.

Aniston jetted off to the sun-soaked resort of Los Cabos last week, along with pals Courteney Cox and Sheryl Crow, to have a week of fun leading up to her birthday on Wednesday.

Bah... I think this is all just to stir up buzz for her upcoming movie The Bounty Hunter in which she co-stars with Butler. Then once promotion for the movie is done, they'll go their separate ways. Gerard is too much of a manwhore to settle down with one lady for now. ;o)

John Mayer has reportedly revealed that he had a brief romance with Taylor Swift. Ick ick ick!!!

According to In Touch Weekly, Mayer has allegedly admitted to a friend that he "hooked up" with the 20-year-old country singer while they were both in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 24.

The source said: "She was sitting on John’s lap, her arms were around him, and she was talking in his ear. They were acting like teenagers."

The source claimed that the couple dined at the Cabana restaurant and were joined by their friends. After their dinner reservation, they were spotted leaving the restaurant alone and heading to the Hermitage Hotel.

"Taylor spent the night and enjoyed mid-morning room service before leaving his suite the next day", the source added.

Both Mayer's and Swift's spokespeople have denied the reports.

Miley Cyrus' 9-year-old sister, Noah Cyrus, already has a video on YouTube singing and gyrating to Akon's song "Smack That" and Ke$ha's song "Tik Tok" (about brushing your teeth with a bottle of Jack).

As if that wasn't bad enough... this little 9-year-old is going to create "versatile styles that can be worn with sweet ballerina slippers, casual sneakers or paired with lace stockings and boots for more of a rock and roll look."

Brittany Murphy's widower Simon Monjack is celebrating the late actress' legacy with a charity benefit in her honor to raise money for arts education.

Murphy who married Monjack in 2007, died at their Hollywood home in December after suffering a cardiac arrest.

The screen writer donated $1 million (probably not Murphy's money) to start the Brittany Murphy Foundation with his mother-in-law, Sharon Murphy, which benefits arts education for children.

And now Monjack is urging Hollywood to celebrate the late actress' legacy with a launch party at the Beverly Hills Saban Theatre on Thursday.

According to Usmagazine.com, Monjack is suggesting an entry fee of $1,000 (£625) per individual and $10,000 (£6,250) from corporations to attend the event.

Murphy's cause of death has been deferred pending toxicology results.

Uh... how much of those donations do you think are gonna end up in his own pocket? You know... citing administrative costs and what-not for running this charity. Ick. He gives me the creeps!

Madonna and Jesus split

Madonna has reportedly split from boytoy Jesus Luz.

Luz allegedly ended his relationship with the 51-year-old singer because of their age difference and busy schedules.

Really? I guess he finally go old enough do math beyond counting on his digits (he ran out of fingers and toes eventually). So the age difference of 138 years finally clued him in on why they were going to be togethah 4evah?

Anyway... The Chicago Sun-Times reports: "It not only was totally amicable, but it was Luz who initiated the split," a source said

According to the report, the 23-year-old Brazilian realised that their lack of mutual interests did not suit a long-term relationship.

Madonna and Luz met at a photoshoot for W magazine in December 2008. They began dating shorty after her divorce from director Guy Ritchie was finalised.

The actor... not the movie (although it's one of our fave flicks).

Matthew Broderick is making the transition to the small screen - the Hollywood actor has landed his own TV sitcom.

He is set to play a celebrity author who is hired to revive a flagging small-town newspaper in new comedy Beach Lane, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

A pilot episode was approved for production by NBC network executives on Monday.

Broderick is said to have been approached for the role last year but only agreed to star in the program after reading the final script.

Have you seen what he looks like lately? I mean, he's still cute and all... for an old guy. ;o) Hee hee! Just kidding! He's aged pretty well, doncha think? He still has his boyish features. :o)

Ooooooooh! I hope this happens... rumors abound that Ricky Gervias, who played the original boss in UK version of The Office, is considering a guest appearance on the US version! When this was brought up in the past, he had shot down the possibility, but it appears he may be open to it now... :o)

He tells U.K. TV show This Morning, "Well, all I said was that now they've found their own feet, they're are out of the shadow of the original, they are on 110 episodes, and me and (co-creator) Stephen (Merchant) thought we could write and direct one and thought it'd be nice if we could pop up. That's all that's happened. It might happen, and I'm going to put it to them. But it's not definite."

"I quite like the idea that Michael Scott bumps into this guy and takes him back to the office as the best bloke ever and the office goes, 'Oh my God, there's two of them.' It would be devastating for the people in the office."

"But that's a real success story, the American Office, and I love it. I think they've done an amazing job."

James Earl Jones has been voted the most trustworthy celebrity in a new poll - seeing off competition from Tom Hanks and Michael J. Fox.

Jones, who voiced Darth Vader in the original Star Wars series, was top of the survey by American magazine Forbes, which rated stars on trustworthiness, awareness and appeal.

The 79 year old topped the poll ahead of Hanks in second and Fox in third.

Forbes writer Lacey Rose says, "The stars on our list tend to be endearing characters on and off screen."

Charlize Theron reportedly single

Charlize Theron has reportedly ended things with her long time beau of nine years Stuart Townsend.

The Oscar winning actress has told close friends that she decided to split from the Irish actor following a Christmas trip to Mexico and has since stopped wearing the antique ‘commitment ring’ that Townsend gave her as a symbol of their relationship.

A friend of the actress said last night: ‘Stuart is gutted but Charlize said that she realized during the Mexican holiday that the relationship was over.

‘They had become more like brother and sister than lovers. It was she who ended it.’

‘Charlize has remained in their main home in the Hollywood Hills, which is in her name, and he’s moved all his stuff into their Malibu beach home that they own together,’ the source said.

‘They are sorting out their finances at the moment, as they have been together for so long that many of their financial affairs are intertwined.

Charlize and Townsend met in 2001 when they co-starred in the (straight to video?) thriller Trapped. Her career subsequently took off, thanks to films such as Hancock and Monster, for which she won the Best Actress Oscar.

Last night a spokeswoman for Ms Theron said: ‘I never comment on her personal life,’ while Townsend’s spokesman did not respond to calls for comment.

"They really have so much in common. He’s aware of Jen’s reputation for being unlucky at love, but he feels he has a lot to bring into her life. More importantly, he is sure they could make each other happy.

“Jake even describes her as being hot, intelligent and spiritual - the perfect package!"

These two pups came from Chicago's PAWS, a no-kill shelter where she also met Sadie, a blonde cocker spaniel she adopted last year. She asked the shelter for help finding the springer spaniels. Oprah said that the two puppies would have been euthanized if they weren't adopted.

Time to lay off the bean burritos, Jess! Jessica Simpson has reportedly farted loudly during an important business meeting.

The singer allegedly embarrassed her mother Tina by letting rip in front of top executives working on her new denim clothing line.

"While one of the executives was speaking in a room full of five people, Jessica let out a very loud fart," a source told Us Weekly.

"Her mother Tina Simpson was there, and it prompted her to turn around and yell, 'Jessica!' The tension was extreme. No-one knew what to say."

Simpson famously farted during an episode of her TV series Newlyweds, where she turned to then-husband Nick Lachey and said: "You love my stinky ass."

I wonder if her momma knows the trick of using a dollop of pumpkin or yogurt with Jess' meals with help with the pooterins? ;o)

So for those of you who watch the show, who do y'all think Betty will end up with? I hope it's not Daniel, cos that'd be kinda icky - like dating your brother kinda icky.

and claimed that *he* was the father of Rielle Hunter's baby.

The article on the Gawker detailing the finding of the purported sex tape:

Part of Young's disillusionment with the 2004 vice presidential candidate and 2008 candidate came one day as he went through a stack of DVDs at Rielle Hunter's house. It was this betrayal that prompted Young to write his tell-all book, The Politician, out February 2.

Rumors are a-flutter than Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have signed off on a legal document to divide their assets in the case of a split. They are not married, but do have six children together (three adopted, three not). The News of the World (not exactly the most reliable source), is claiming that the pair met with a divorce attorney in Los Angeles recently.

A source told the News of the World newspaper: "The document was signed in early January. Both Brad and Angelina had signed it. The contract was like a tailor-made version of a pre-nuptial agreement except for an unmarried couple's split.

"It seemed clear they want the world to know they'll both play a part in the upbringing of the children. But Angelina will actually be the one who lives with them full-time."

The source added: "There's no date for when the contract would come into effect. But the paperwork is already organised for a break- up - and for it to be as un-messy for them as possible. It is clear it's a case of when they break up rather than if."

OOoOoOo! I wonder if it's true! Of course if this does happen, Brad Pitt will come out smelling like a rose... like he did when he split with Jennifer Aniston. The focus was never on his philandering ways... rather, it was turned into Team Aniston and Team Jolie. Bah! Who wants to be on Team Goat Beard??? Hang tight, pups... the split might not happen right away, but all the pieces are in place.

He says, "With me, she won't go bigger. Another doctor may do it, but I won't."

Tobey Maguire has reportedly agreed to take the lead role in 'The Hobbit'. The 34-year-old actor - who is said to have signed up to play Bilbo Baggins in the movie adaptation of JRR Tolkien's classic book - had been pursued by producer Peter Jackson and director Guillermo del Toro for some time because they knew he'd be perfect for the part.

A movie source told The Sun newspaper: "We're thrilled. Tobey's one of Hollywood's most recognizable and best actors."

The Brothers actor - who pulled out from the fourth Spider-Man movie last week - had previously been unable to commit to the project due to scheduling restraints.

Rumours that Tobey could play the character of Bilbo first surfaced last month, but he dispelled them at the time - though he admitted he would be interested if he were approached.

He said: "I have not met or spoken to the director Guillermo del Toro or the producer Peter Jackson or anybody. Nobody has given me a script or approached me about it.

"I love Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson and I certainly wouldn't take myself out of the conversation."

Filming for 'The Hobbit' begins this summer, and it will be split into two movies, set for release in 2011 and 2012.

Austin Green and Fox are reportedly planning to move into a new home in Los Angeles.

The twitter account that posted these messages has since been deleted... so many are claiming that the tweets are fake and that these two are actually not engaged.

The soccer star was given the British Bulldog puppy by his former Spice Girl wife Victoria as the couple and their three sons celebrated Christmas at their UK home.

But as the family now reside in Beverly Hills - where David plays soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy - they needed to make sure the pooch got back safely, so the couple splashed out £2,000 on making sure he flew back in luxury.

A source said: "It's one lucky animal, but David only wants the best."

They handed over the cash to the UK's exclusive pet transportation company, PetAir, where their 'Gold Standard' service includes an airline ticket, custom-made wooden travel container with bedding and water, a pre-travel health examination and one night in the care of a vet.

Before being flown back to the US, the dog had spent time with David and Victoria's friends, TV chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana, where he was treated to meals including Aberdeen Angus mincemeat with Lincolnshire sausage.

The source added to the News of the World newspaper: "In its very short life, David's dog has already seen the kind of luxury it will enjoy. It's been fed by the UK's leading star chef, and has now been flown in total comfort to Los Angeles."

The dog had stayed with the Ramsays after the festive break because Victoria and the three boys flew back to America while David flew to Milan, where he is currently on loan with soccer giants AC Milan.

Ailing actor Dennis Hopper has filed for divorce from his wife of 13 years.

Court records reveal the Easy Rider star, who is battling prostate cancer, has begun proceedings to end the union, citing irreconcilable differences.

Hopper, 73, is preparing spousal support for Victoria, the mother of his six-year-old daughter Galen.

Last year, Hopper revealed he had been quietly battling cancer since 2002. Recent tabloid reports suggest his condition has deteriorated and that he was "facing his final days".

Victoria (she kinda looks like Uma Thurman) is wife number five, but this marriage has far outlasted the previous four, which included the 8-day marriage to Michelle Phillips. He and Victoria have been together for 18 years. So what happened?

A long time friend of the couple said, "It's truly a tragedy, and sadly its all about the money and who inherits what. This is about getting Victoria out of the will, nothing more, nothing less."

"You should have seen me shopping for this thing today. I walked into a store and said, 'I'm shopping for a big gal...' and the lady said, 'How big?' and I said, 'Well... kinda my size. Do you mind if I try it on?' I got a little nervous."

Angelina Jolie is really a blonde, and has been dying her hair dark since she was four years old.

And the 34 year old has been reaching for the dye ever since.

Jolie tells German magazine Das Neue, "My natural colour is dark blonde. But when I was four or five, my mother dyed my hair dark brown, and she decided to keep it that way. And I stuck with that." »

As TMZ first reported, after the Olympics, Jay Leno will get his 11:30 PM time period back. We're told network execs have told Conan they will let him decide if he wants the midnight to 1:00 AM time slot. If he does, Leno's show will only be a half hour. If Conan walks, Leno will get a full hour, informed sources tell TMZ.

Sources say that Conan is pissed because he was given no advanced warning this was coming. We're told if Conan gets another offer, even though NBC could block the move, they will let him go and give Leno the full hour.

Leno's show currently at 10:00 is kinda meh. Conan was great at his original spot on late night. Jimmy Fallon is meh is his current spot now. So... NBC is finally realizing the error of its ways? Whatever they decide to do, I hope they don't break up the pawesome combination of Andy and Conan... I love them together! :o)

The pair -- who met on the set of the romantic comedy Valentine's Day -- first sparked rumors of a romance when she hugged him at her October 9 concert in Rosemont, Illinois. They have since been spotted on several wholesome dates -- like their frozen yogurt date at Menchie's alongside Swift's mom earlier this month -- and have each coyly alluded to their relationship on separate Saturday Night Live hosting gigs. However, the relationship officially fizzled when Lautner, 17, flew to Nashville for Swift's birthday party on Dec. 13, a friend of the singer reveals. "He liked her more than she liked him," the source tells Us. "He went everywhere he could to see her, but she didn't travel much to see him."

The actress was spotted relaxing in a bikini with Law and his three children on one of the Caribbean island's white sand beaches on Sunday. They were also photographed giggling with delight during a dinghy ride.

Miller is said to have spent Christmas Day in Barbados, while the actor and his sons Rafferty, 12, and Rudy, seven, and daughter Iris, nine, flew in on the 26 December after spending time with their actress mother Sadie Frost in London.

The couple has reportedly checked into a beachfront villa, where they will celebrate Miller's 28th birthday on Monday and Law's 37th on Tuesday.

It is the first time the Alfie co-stars have been photographed together since they split in 2006 after Law's fling with his children's nanny was exposed in the press.

Despite almost four years apart, both stars have struggled to find lasting love - Miller ended her on/off relationship with actor Rhys Ifans, and endured a romance with married actor Balthazar Getty earlier this year, while single Law became a dad for the fourth time in September following a brief fling with American model Samantha Burke.

The National Enquirer is claiming that Ryan Phillippe is “back to his horndog ways” and screwing around big time on live-in girlfriend Abbie Cornish. Phillippe left his wife, Reese Witherspoon, for Cornish in 2006.

“Ryan and Abbie are on the rocks because he’s back to his horndog ways,” an insider told The Enquirer. “He’s been hitting the clubs regularly and desperately trying to hook up with almost every young woman he meets. His womanizing has gotten so out of hand it’s like Abbie never existed.”

Abbie is out and about, promoting her film Bright Star (directed by Jane Campion). It’s a true story based on the romance between the poet John Keats (played by Ben Whishaw) and Keats’ neighbor Fanny Brawne (played by Cornish). Ahhhhh... a period romance!!! Can't wait to see it.

She’s being treated as one of the serious young actresses, to be given good parts and awards. It may be that Philippe decided to cheat and get out before he found himself the partner of another blonde who outshines him. Shouldn’t he be focusing on his barely existent acting career instead of horndoggin'??

Jon Gosselin's new digs on the upper West Side were ransacked Saturday, leaving his clothes and furniture slashed, sources said.

Somebody wielding a butcher knife tore through the entire apartment and "speared" a note - signed by "Hailey Glassman," his gal pal - to Gosselin's dresser with the blade, according to TMZ.

The assailant sliced through Gosselin's shoes, shirts, curtains and other furnishings with the knife, sources said.

A television, CD player and a Nintendo Wii game were also found smashed to pieces inside the flat of the former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star, sources said.

A Ming vase, possibly "over 100 years old," was also destroyed, Gosselin's lawyer told TMZ.

Investigators photographed and fingerprinted the apartment for clues, and although Glassman's name was written on the note left by the vandal, it doesn't necessarily mean she is responsible, sources said.

Gosselin has been living in the high-rise apartment since leaving his wife, Kate. Their divorce was finalized recently.

Raise your paw if you think this was an inside job so this douche can get some sort of insurance money for all his crap that was destroyed or stolen? I mean, the dood can't do any public appearances to make money after he lost the lawsuit with TLC, so he has to make money somehow, right?!

Simon Cowell's brother says the next season of "American Idol" will be the judge's last.

Tony Cowell said in his weekly podcast, "The Cowell Factor," that a statement was being prepared that would certify that the acerbic British judge was leaving the popular Fox signing competition at the end of 2010.

Simon Cowell will concentrate on bringing his popular U.K. talent show "The X Factor" to the U.S. next year, his brother said on the Saturday podcast, which has since been removed.

"Meanwhile, Simon prepares for a new season of 'Idol,' or should I say, his last season of 'Idol,'" Cowell's older brother said. "A press statement is being prepared which will confirm what everybody expected: Simon will leave 'Idol' at the end of 2010 to concentrate on bringing the American version of 'X Factor' to U.S. TV in 2011."

The 50-year-old Cowell has been with "American Idol" since the series debuted in 2002. His contract ends after the upcoming ninth season, which begins Jan. 12. The judging panel was shaken up last year with the arrival of songwriter Kara DioGuardi and departure of pop star Paula Abdul, who is being replaced next season by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

We're told when paramedics arrived, they quickly determined Murphy was in full cardiac arrest and immediately administered CPR. They continued CPR in route to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center -- several miles away -- and Murphy was unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The LA County Coroner's is picking up Murphy's body from Cedars later today and will launch an investigation.

When Letterman asked him how many kids he has, Law responded, “Three.”

Law does have three children with his former wife, Sadie Frost, but he forgot to mention the newest addition from his loins: baby Sophia, who was born September 22 to Law’s one-time fling, model Samantha Burke.

Radar Online reports that Tiger Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, who has already been spotted in public sans wedding ring, has begun seeking legal representation to represent her in a forthcoming divorce, according to various Web reports Wednesday. The 29-year-old mother-of-two reportedly has meetings slated for next week with top legal professionals to blueprint a split that could cost the golfer as much as half of his billion dollar fortune. One name that had been mentioned, though remains unconfirmed, is lawyer Sorrell Trope, who has handled proceedings for stars including Nicole Kidman, Nicolas Cage and Britney Spears.

A source told ABCnews, "She's not rushing to divorce, however. She's going to take her sweet time. She wants all the dirty laundry to be out on the table before she signs anything."

Oh, and Eldrick is Tiger's first name. Eldrick Tont Woods.

Tom Brady already has a 2-year-old son, Jack, but that doesn't mean caring for a newborn gets any easier the second time around.

When asked Wednesday how week one with his new, as yet unnamed baby boy with wife Gisele Bündchen had gone, Brady said, "It's good. It's good. I'm glad it's over!"

"I'm trying to get back to my normal sleep schedule, which I'm sure, for all of us parents, is a little tough early," added the Patriots quarterback, who had his first son with ex, Bridget Moynahan.

Rumours of a Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal split refuse to go away - a new U.S. report is adamant the pair has ended its relationship.

Last month, rumours began circulating suggesting the Hollywood stars had called off their two-year romance.

Their representatives were quick to comment on the reports, insisting they were "not true" - but GossipCop.com is claiming their relationship is definitely over.

A source tells the website that Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal "are no longer together" but the split was "amicable and mutual."

You know, why did the couple's reps even bother denying that they had split up two week's ago. This just goes to show you that no matter what a publicist denies, you really can't ever believe them!

Sarah Jessica Parker fears she made a "terrible mistake" removing a prominent mole on her chin last year - because she's permanently lost her trademark beauty spot.

The Sex and the City star admits she was never fond of the famous marking, and finally asked her brother-in-law, a plastic surgeon, to get rid of the mole after she turned 43.

But now the actress regrets not consulting her family and fans before the procedure, because they "miss" the blemish so much.

She says, "I've been in therapy since it happened... Honestly, I didn't think a thing about it and apparently it turned into molegate. A woman came on to the beach really upset and she said, 'I don't know why you did that, your mole was your signature!' I was like, 'My mole is my signature?' And then for the next 15 minutes I couldn't hear anything people said to me. All I could think was, 'I've made a terrible mistake - Can I put it back on?' My son tells me every now and then he misses it... I feel like I should've talked to more people."

Errr... I thought her big schnozz was her signature?

Tom Arnold was shocked to discover a tattoo he had etched on his leg in Chinese is really a proclamation of 'man love'

The film funnyman asked to be inked with the words "love of mankind" after witnessing the Tiananmen Square massacre on TV back in 1989.

Twenty years on, Arnold travelled to China this month on his honeymoon, after marrying new bride Ashley Groussman over the Thanksgiving weekend.

The actor also scheduled a TV appearance in the country during his trip with his new bride and had to be briefed before sitting down for the cameras. And that's when he discovered his tattoo means something very different.

Arnold explains, "I have a tattoo that I thought said Love of Mankind, which I got after the Tiananmen square thing.

"They said, don't mention that on Chinese TV. They also told me it actually says 'Man Love'."

Kate Hudson has split from baseball star Alex Rodriguez, according to U.S. reports.

Hudson has been dating the New York Yankees player since the beginning of the year, but she has been fiercely protective about the union, refusing to talk about the romance.

Rodriguez sparked speculation he and Hudson had parted ways earlier this month, when he was spotted partying alone in Miami, Florida, and now a source close to the pair has confirmed the couple has split, telling website GossipCop.com, "It's true."

A spokesperson for Hudson had not commented on the allegations as WENN went to press.

Kevin Bacon's wife Kyra Sedgewick is unhappy with the placement of the power couple's stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - because they're in a "shady" part of Los Angeles.

Sedgwick unveiled her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6356 Hollywood Boulevard in June (09), inches away from her husband's pavement honour outside a busy nightclub.

But Sedgewick admits she was less than thrilled with organisers' efforts not to split the couple - because now her accolade will only be seen by stumbling drunks.

She explains, "They put us right next to each other in this shady area. It's right outside of this nightclub... Isn't it wonderful when people stumble out at three in the morning they're going to throw up on both of our stars?"

Umm... how about you just be appreciative that you even got a star? What the heck has this woman been in anyway?? :P

The suspects were busted Wednesday at an airport in Princeton, Michigan where they met an undercover FBI agent posing as a Stamos' representative to drop off the extortion money in exchange for the photos. When the couple showed up, they were arrested.

A search of the the couple's house in Marquette, Michigan, turned up three photos of Stamos, paperwork containing the actor's name and cell phone number, and the phone numbers of three tabloid magazines.

Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon was left red-faced after making a speech in front of British politicians - when U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown mistook her for Renee Zellweger.

The Legally Blonde star stood up in front of Members of Parliament (MPs) at London's House of Commons on Wednesday to talk about domestic violence issues as part of her role as honorary chairwoman of the Avon Foundation.

After her speech, the British leader addressed the house to thank Chinny Witherspoon for her efforts - but he got her mixed up with Squinty Zellweger.

Brown told the house, "I'm very grateful that Renee Witherspoon is leading this campaign. She spoke movingly at the funeral of Anthony Minghella and I welcome her to the house today."

"Four Seasons did a great job -- turkey for each table, all the fixings, soufflés for dessert, pretty impressive considering a full house!"

Stewart ended her Thanksgiving with a screening of the "Twilight" film "New Moon," which she called "really excellent," though she found the wolves to be "mangy."

"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves," he said in a statement on his official Web site.

Woods did not admit to an affair and offered no details about the "transgressions" in his statement.

What do y'all think about Tiger Wood's

was his wife breaking him out?
or chasing after him with the golf clubs?

Were the cuts on his face
due to the accident???
But since there was no blood
on the steering wheel
did his wife scratch his face up
right before the accident???

The rumored blow up between the two
may have been kick-started by
a National Enquirer story
about an alleged 'other woman'

If it's true, then he needs to man up
and take responsibility for it
but if all of this happened
because of a false story

Adoption Rumors

[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ]

There have been rumors recently
of Angelina Jolie's plans for world domination
by adopting another baby - this one from Syria

Currently, the Jolie has seven children:
~ two little boys adopted from Asia - Maddox and Pax
~ one daughter, Zahara, adopted from Africa
~ three biological kids Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne

If we were to presume that St. Angie
were to adopt a child from every country
she would have to adopt 191 more kids
to fulfill that mission.

Possibility of that happening?
Not likely

We could broaden the scope
so St. Angie could aspire
to adopt a child from every continent.
She's already got three continents knocked out
so she'd just hafta hit Australia, Antarctica,
Europe, and South America

But really... that's only three more kids
and she'd only be able to adopt a penguin in Antarctica...
so this option is probably out as well.

If she's looking to focus on countries within
her current continents of choice,
with the assumption of one child per country
she'd only have to adopt:
52 more kids out of Africa
and 45 more kids out of Asia.

OR... she could just adopt some doggies? :o)

Former Golden Girls star Rue McClanahan is recovering after undergoing an emergency heart bypass, just days after her doctor spotted a problem during a routine medical examination.

The 75-year-old actress was hospitalised earlier this month after a physician noticed a problem with her heart while undergoing tests for a planned knee operation.

McClanahan, best known for her role as Blanche Devereaux on the hit series, apologised to fans for having to pull out of Golden: A Gala Tribute to Rue McClanahan at San Francisco's Castro Theatre on 14 November.

But despite insisting she just needed some "maintenance on the old ticker", the star was rushed into the operating room on Wednesday to undergo serious heart bypass surgery.

However, her pal Del Shores reveals the op went "very, very well," adding, "She's going to be great and up and entertaining us all very shortly."

The shocking confession appears in his new autobiography, Open, in which Agassi also admits he was hooked on addictive drug crystal methamphetamine at the height of his career.

Agassi is convinced he could have won more matches if he hadn't gone prematurely bald - because he was so worried his toupee would fall off on the court. BOL!

Hilary Swank's adopted dog Karoo was literally rotting from the inside out when the actress found her on the streets of South Africa - and saved her life.

The Boys Don't Cry star was shooting in The Karoo, South Africa when she took a shine to a local stray who followed her around the set - and she decided to make sure she was Ok before she left the country.

Convinced someone was looking after the dog - because she looked well fed, Swank was stunned when she learned the mutt was actually close to death.

She says, "I took her to the vet and the vet said..., 'She's actually fat because she's full of worms'.

"She had so many fleas on her they said that they should have sucked all her blood out; they couldn't believe it... She had seven ticks in one ear and six in the other.

"They said, 'If you don't take this dog, she will certainly not make it.'"

Swank took the dog home with her and added another rescued pet, Roomie, last year.

She adds, "They bring a lot of joy to my life."

was the hard six pack abs
and the tight leather battle-shorts
Yum.

Anyway, it's been reported
that Gerard Butler's pug Lolita (off leash)
was bit twice by a greyhound (on leash)
while he was filming in New York

After leashing up his dog
Gerry walked away
but not fast enough
and to prevent a third bite
he reportedly 'nudged'
the greyhound and the pug apart

The owners version say
that Gerry ''slammed'
their dog's head against a fence
and made it yelp

Anyhoo... Gerry took Lolita to the vet
and she is going to be fine.

A British version of Gossip Girl
or a reality show featuring Paris Hilton...
which would you prefer?

TV bosses in the UK decided to go with
"Paris Hilton's British Best Friend"
instead of the Gossip Girl-esque drama
entitled "Trinity"

The dood who stars in the show,
Charles Dance, is hoppin' mad!

Read what he says:

"We're putting too much energy into junk and reality television. This show was going to be shown in January or February. But they shelved it until September to put you know what in its place? Paris Hilton's British Best Friend, which is possibly the most execrable piece of television I've ever seen in my life. God knows what the ratings were. It's a piece of television for airheads, starring an airhead."

Get

Do
...your duty. Scoop your poop - no one wants to look at that mess, no matter how artistic your swirl is. Reduce your carbon pawprint, walk to the park instead of driving there - unless of course you live more than two blocks away, then have the limo driver drop you off.

for those eight Gosselin kids
now that Jon and Kate are splitsville

So, what's next on the reality show / baby boom horizon?

Octomom, Nadya Suleman's reality show has begun production - no network has signed on to air the show yet. Do you plan to watch her show when it airs? No judgement passed if you do - I know the feeling, you don't want to stare, but you just can't look away.

In other crazy baby news, a UK woman who has given birth to 13 children is pregnant again. Okay, so she didn't give birth to all 13 at once, but did I mention that all 13 children, one by one, were taken away from her due to severe neglect?

When a doting person gets down on all fours and plays with the dog's rubber mouse, it only confuses the puppy and gives him a sense of insecurity. He gets the impression that the world is unstable and wonders whether he is supposed to walk on his hind legs and smoke cigars.

Men cannot think like dogs.... [There exists] a sharp difference in the mental capacity of humans and canines. For example, a human who is given an intricate problem will spend all day trying to solve it, but a canine will have the sense to give up and do something else instead.

I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better.

To Flush, My Dog

~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Loving friend, the gift of one
Who her own true faith has run
Through thy lower nature,
Be my benediction said
With my hand upon thy head,
Gentle fellow-creature!

Like a lady's ringlets brown,
Flow thy silken ears adown
Either side demurely
Of thy silver-suited breast
Shining out from all the rest
Of thy body purely.

Darkly brown thy body is,
Till the sunshine striking this
Alchemise its dullness,
When the sleek curls manifold
Flash all over into gold
With a burnished fulness.

Underneath my stroking hand,
Startled eyes of hazel bland
Kindling, growing larger,
Up thou leapest with a spring,
Full of prank and curveting,
Leaping like a charger.

Leap! thy broad tail waves a light,
Leap! thy slender feet are bright,
Canopied in fringes;
Leap! those tasselled ears of thine
Flicker strangely, fair and fine
Down their golden inches

Yet, my pretty, sportive friend,
Little is't to such an end
That I praise thy rareness;
Other dogs may be thy peers
Haply in these drooping ears
And this glossy fairness.

But of thee it shall be said,
This dog watched beside a bed
Day and night unweary,
Watched within a curtained room
Where no sunbeam brake the gloom
Round the sick and dreary.

Roses, gathered for a vase,
In that chamber died apace,
Beam and breeze resigning;
This dog only, waited on,
Knowing that when light is gone
Love remains for shining.

Other dogs in thymy dew
Tracked the hares and followed through
Sunny moor or meadow;
This dog only, crept and crept
Next a languid cheek that slept,
Sharing in the shadow.

Other dogs of loyal cheer
Bounded at the whistle clear,
Up the woodside hieing;
This dog only, watched in reach
Of a faintly uttered speech
Or a louder sighing.

And if one or two quick tears
Dropped upon his glossy ears
Or a sigh came double,
Up he sprang in eager haste,
Fawning, fondling, breathing fast,
In a tender trouble.

And this dog was satisfied
If a pale thin hand would glide
Down his dewlaps sloping, --
Which he pushed his nose within,
After, -- platforming his chin
On the palm left open.

This dog, if a friendly voice
Call him now to blither choice
Than such chamber-keeping,
"Come out!" praying from the door, --
Presseth backward as before,
Up against me leaping.

Therefore to this dog will I,
Tenderly not scornfully,
Render praise and favor:
With my hand upon his head,
Is my benediction said
Therefore and for ever.

And because he loves me so,
Better than his kind will do
Often man or woman,
Give I back more love again
Than dogs often take of men,
Leaning from my Human.

Blessings on thee, dog of mine,
Pretty collars make thee fine,
Sugared milk make fat thee!
Pleasures wag on in thy tail,
Hands of gentle motion fail
Nevermore, to pat thee

Downy pillow take thy head,
Silken coverlid bestead,
Sunshine help thy sleeping!
No fly's buzzing wake thee up,
No man break thy purple cup
Set for drinking deep in.

Whiskered cats arointed flee,
Sturdy stoppers keep from thee
Cologne distillations;
Nuts lie in thy path for stones,
And thy feast-day macaroons
Turn to daily rations!

Mock I thee, in wishing weal? --
Tears are in my eyes to feel
Thou art made so straitly,
Blessing needs must straiten too, --
Little canst thou joy or do,
Thou who lovest greatly.

Yet be blessed to the height
Of all good and all delight
Pervious to thy nature;
Only loved beyond that line,
With a love that answers thine,
Loving fellow-creature!

Thank youses

Dear Peeps and Pups... thank you so much for all the words of support and love you've given us this week. We are so blessed with your friendship. We are so honored with the love you share. Daisy was a very special girl, and we are so happy to have shared her life with all of you on Dogster. :o)

Today marks the anniversary of Daisy's passing. Hardly a day goes by that we don't talk about her or think about her. My heart squeezes just a little bit every time I think of her. Sometimes there are tears that spring into my eyes... but mostly it's the memories of what a wonderful, smart, and beautiful doggie she was... and that makes me smile through the tears. She was such a good girl. My only sadness is because of the short time we had with her. She gave us so much joy and love. We are a little blue today because we miss her, but Ella says she will make herself available for huggin-on's throughout the day.

Lassie looked brilliant, in part because the farm family she lived with was made up of idiots. Remember? One of them was always getting pinned under the tractor, and Lassie was always rushing back to the farmhouse to alert the other ones. She'd whimper and tug at their sleeves, and they'd always waste precious minutes saying things: "Do you think something's wrong? Do you think she wants us to follow her? What is it, girl?" as if this had never happened before, instead of every week.

Looking Down From Above

Email via Angel Express


June 17th 2008 5:49 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Daisy,

I am emailing you in reference to Ela's diary posting entitled, "Cheatin'!".

Do you think you and Ela would have gotten along together? I mean, you liked your personal space and let's face it... Ella essentially has none and doesn't know what it means. We love that about her, since it is innate in her sungglebunny-ness... but I don't know if you two would have gotten along very well.

I'm sure you would put up with each other, but as far as really getting along and being BFF... Well, I'm not so sure.

What do you think?

Daddy

--

Dear Daddy,

I most certainly would NOT have gotten along with Schmella. (I call her Schmella for dog's sake!) Hee! ;o)

I would've been at least four years old if Ela had come into our lives, and I most definitely would NOT have wanted to snuggle, play, share, live, or sleep with her.

BUT, that doesn't mean another schmellicious doggie may very well want to snuggle, play, share, live, or sleep with her.

I'm just me... too cool for public displays of affection. And anything that might chip my manicure. Or muss up my hairdo.

Daisy

~ The clumsy galoot knocks into things. Many, many things... mainly with her big head

~ The Poopsmith lays fresh dog biscuits willy nilly all over the yard - pick a spot in the woods *away* from the house, for dogs sake!

~ She burps like a big, burly trucker (sorry, no offense to truckers out there)

~ Her farts are heinous and can clear a room. Her rump rippers come in two flavors: SBD (silent but deadly) and the more prominent SBV (silent but violent)

~ She humps boy dogs... (*sigh*)

ELVIS: What's all the hoopla aboot?

Daisy: Haha! I love your Canadian accent! Aboot! ;o) The hoopla is because of you

ELVIS: Me? I don't understand.

Daisy: Yes, YOU! All of us angels have been watching over you the whole time you've been sick down on earth. We saw how hard your momma fought for you, we saw how Winston's family helped you find a new vet, and we saw how Dogsters united to pray and support you and your family. We were wishing and praying right along with them... hoping you would be able to stay with your family.

ELVIS: Uh huh! I tried. I fought so hard. It was a good battle.

Daisy: Yep. You did the best you could. Your peeps did the best they could. And the good vet did the best she could. You got the best because you deserved the best.

ELVIS: But I had to leave my mom, dad, li'l patrick, and my sis behind...

Daisy: I know, but we'll get to see all of them again one day. But for now, you're free from pain and hurt and all the nasties that our physical bodies couldn't deal with. Your momma was smart enough, unselfish enough, and brave enough to let you go because it was time. She loved you so much. Everyone on Dogster fell in love with you too.

ELVIS: So what do we do up here?

Daisy: Well, first we have to pawty cos you're here now. Then we have to wrap our angel wings around those that we had to leave behind. It helps 'em, y'know? They can't see us, but they can feel us... they know we're safe and happy and whole once again. And we can let them know that it's okay to cry and to miss us.

ELVIS: Okay, I may need some help with these wings... I'm not sure I've got a hang of them yet.

Daisy: Sure thang. Oh, and uh... if TONKA says anything about certain head-chompin's he may or may not have gotten, I wouldn't pay too much attention to him. I think he's just had way too much catnip at the kitty free-fur-all buffet and it's, uh... making him say the strangest things. Yeah. Uh huh. That's it.

Up here at the bridge... I am free from sweaters, bandannas, and other ridiculous costumes I was forced to wear by my momma.

Not that I *really* minded wearing them or posing for the camera. Besides which, momma was relentless and there was usually peanut butter involved.

I kinda miss my sweaters. They made me feel so pretty. :o)

All these lovely clothing items have been passed down to my successor Ella. Have I mentioned just how uncivilized she is? She is quite the brute. She thinks sweaters are for eating. What a savage!

Her Dogster page is pretty sparse at this point, but we'll be working on it.

She is a brute! No manners!

Like I was saying, she is very different from me. But, if you want to learn more about her, my peeps have started a blog to track Ella's progress. They weren't sure about starting a Dogster page for her yet (since it's only for a trial period), but if / when things become definite... you know she's going to rock this place. :o)

. . . because she's one big hulkish beast.

Secret, covert doggie ops tell me that a dog is coming to stay at MY house with MY peeps.

*eyes narrow*

It's a good thing I peed AND puked in several places in the house so *she* knows I was there. I know the peeps delude themselves into thinking they can get rid of the stains and scents with Nature's Miracle... I know THEY can't smell it, but I bet doggie can. :o)

Holy Mackinoly! My peeps are pooped. They visited the county animal shelter on Saturday and it was just one big blur. Dogs, dogs, dogs... everywhere! Big ones, small ones, black ones, white ones... OMG! Momma wanted to take them *all* home. From the ones that the can remember: there was a spazzy little boy puppy, a shy little girl puppy, an awesome blonde doggie who loved to play fetch, and a cool looking boy doggie with the sweetest face. They spent about three hours at the animal shelter visiting and walking the doggies.

My peeps also have some applications in to some rescue groups in NC... one of the doggies came by for a home visit last Wednesday. FUN! She is a cute little pitbull mix and is ALL puppy. The girl could not settle down - that is, until we gave her belly rubs. Then she would not get up at all. :o) Oh, and treats. She LOVED treats and ate them in a really cute lip smackin', gator chompin' kinda way. Hee!

Will post more pupdates as I find out more...

Dear Doggies,

In approximately 15 days my peeps are going to scour the shelters to bring home a doggie. My momma is bouncin' off the walls. And every once in a while, she lets out a little squeal. Eeee! Then my daddy goes and reminds her that they're going to bring home a doggie soon, she squeals some more. Eeeeeeeee!! And then she starts chanting: doggie! doggie! doggie! doggie! doggie!

Uh huh. They're excited.

Will the new doggie have awesome ears like Izzie or Elvis? Or perhaps some long, elegant sticks like Tavar? A great smile like Izzy or Maggie May? Oh, the possibilities!!!

It's a good thing my peeps are on vacation - otherwise all they'd be doing all this bouncing and squealing at work (daddy says: he doesn't bounce or squeal).

Will keep y'all updated. :o)
Eeeeeee!

Love,
Daisy

Ask A Crappy Question...

... and you get crappy answers! :o) Within 2 hours of posting my question about poo, pupmail came flying through the webernets at an alarming speed and landed in my inbox with a loud splat. All were keen to share their poo-size wisdom with me. Thank you! I'm sending pumpkin rosettes (because it causes lots of poo to appear - firm or otherwise) for all that raced to enlighten me with their experiences. Hee!!

From what I've gathered 85% of you say that the size of the dog DOES indeed matter. In combination with the size of the dog, many of you mentioned that the quality of food also plays an important role as to whether or not your poos are Hello Kitty-sized (cute, small, and smells like strawberries) vs Klingon-sized (um, big and hairy?? and kinda scary?).

Y'all are just the best pup pals evah! Thanks for answering my poo questions... only dog lovers wouldn't think I'm crazy. I sure loves me some Dogster.

Daisy

Dear Doggies,

My peeps are looking at rescuing another doggie. They don't have much criteria in mind other than it being sweet and lovable (which are ALL doggies!!!).

Me? I was both sweet and lovable. I was only 24 lbs at my heaviest... thus being a smaller dog, I had somewhat small dainty poops (with the exception of some donkey dumps resulting from competitive eating sessions).

My peeps are not deterred by the size of the poop to scoop... however, they're curious as to whether bigger dogs have bigger downloads? And smaller dogs bust smaller grumpies? It'd be kinda scary to see a chihuahua bust out a 2x4-sized log. Just curious. :o)

I think it's only fair that your peeps put up embarrassing photos of you in your reindeer ears, santa hats, and other howliday paraphernalia as well.

Thanks to every pup that gave such an pawesome Dogster welcome to my pal Nelly. :o)

Did ya know that Scout and Tully have flown da coop and are now in Hawaii?? FUN! I meant to ask them if Santa wears a tank top and hula skirt over there... cos I think it'd get mighty hot in his furry suit, ya know? Pop on over and say Aloha to those two cutie patooties. :o)

My peeps are so sad. I promise to keep Pongo safe and sound up here at the bridge. We plan on eating lots of dead cow and drinking lots of dogaritas. Pongo appears to be very happy and free of pain. He told me that he was so very loved as he drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face... a well deserved nap on the lush, green grass in the bright, warm sunshine. I hear Seva's throwing him a welcome party... better go and start my beautification process.

Secondly, wow... the gifts that are available at the Dogster Gift Shop are pretty cool. May I suggest that a steak and a squeakie toy be added to the growing inventory of goodies?

Thirdly, I will need more zealies. (that means you, Daddy)

I am EXTREMELY saddened to hear that sweet Pongo's been diagnosed with the evil "C". :o( My momma is sniffling and trying not to cry at work. I think her heart is breaking all over again.

Please please PLEASE visit Pongo's page and show him some love. We wish we could send Pongo some big big hugs... but the webernet is not yet that advanced, so you'll have to settle for some virtual head and rump scritchies instead.

Dear Doggies,

My peeps are doing better... thank you all for thinking of them. :o)

My momma is obsessed. She looks on Petfinder weekly, if not daily and squeals when she sees all the sweet doggies. Of course then she shows my daddy, who then says... no dogs until the new year.

I do feel bad for my successor though... she / he will be inheriting all my lovely photo shoot outfits. I would feel extra bad if it were a "he"... I don't think pink flowers could make any manly dog look good. But, it would make for interesting photos. Actually, that would probably be considered animal cruelty.

I know my peeps can't wait to get another doggie, but it's gonna have big shoes to fill cos I was the best. doggie. evah. It is important that they not compare the new doggie to me... cos I would so totally win. Everytime. ;o)

Dear Doggies,

During my stint on earth, I was made to endure many costume changes. I tolerated them pretty well, if I do say so myself. The only thing I wouldn't put up with (for very long) was having "stuff" on my head. Don't worry though... the stuff I was made to wear was mainly for photo ops. Dog knows, I would never walk out of the house fully costumed. I shudder at the thought.

Which brings me to my most recent observation. My peeps don't have a dog right now. They probably won't name my successor until early next year. Yet... my momma is still buying dog stuff. Who does she think she's going to arfin' outfit??? Yes, I *know* Target has cheap $1 items for doggies, but it doesn't mean my momma needs to be buying this stuff.

My pal Flecken and the Weiner Dog Gang are also walking on Sunday the 9th - except they're flyin' all the way to CANADA to be part of the 19th Annual IAMS Wiggle Waggle Walkathon. They have totally beat their goal - wiggle that money-maker, Fleckie!

But! That doesn't mean it's not too late to lend a paw and support their fundraising efforts. You can still help 'em out if you want to. :o)

Thank you Elvis for my apple rosette!!! Yummers! :o)

I liked apples. It was really the only type of fruit I would eat. I'd start out with gusto - chomping away at the apple bits that were fed to me. Eventually, though, I'd start nibbling only on the juicy flesh and leaving the apple skins all over the place. That's when apple-feeding time was over.

I'm allowed to leave apple skins all over the place up here at the bridge. Uh huh. Yep. It's true!

Good Dog til the End


August 5th 2007 6:56 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Just some random thoughts:

* Throughout this whole cancer ordeal, Daisy never once veered from her path of "good dog". She never once pee'd or poo'd inside the house or the office - even though her belly was swollen with fluids, she would wait until she could go outside.

* Daisy was the office morale booster. When things got hectic or stressful, people would come back and get their Daisy fix. Even though her time with me at work was short, everyone got to know her, and she brought a little ray of sunshine into everyone's work day.

* Dr. Jeffreys, the oncologist, said that Daisy carved a place out of everyone's heart at the ER vet. She was a special dog. Dr. Jeffreys and her staff sent us a card with such sweet, caring words.

* Dr. Kreeger, our family vet, called Daisy a trooper. She fought as much as her little body could. Even the receptionist came out and gave her a kiss and neck scratchies. Dr. Kreeger and his staff sent us a rose in memory of Daisy.

* Jason's parents brought over some daisies so we could plant a memorial garden for Daisy... that brought tears to our eyes.

* Daisy's diary entries? Aside from the celebutante bashing - they were all her. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. Daisy was just bursting with personality.

* Daisy wasn't a spoiled dog. She never got fed table scraps or ate any human food (that is, until she got cancer... then everything was fair game). If anything, *she* spoiled *us* by being such a good dog.

* Daisy totally has me programmed. I hear keys jingling at the office and my head whips around looking for her, thinking it's the tags jangling on her collar.

* I can't go into a pet store or go down any pet aisle in a store... it's just brings about a big emptiness in my heart right now.

Just some random thoughts.

Dear Dogsters,

It'd be so easy for me to hide away and let the grief take over, but gosh darn it... y'all make it difficult to be sad when your sweet words of love and support make us smile, make us cry happy tears, and help us realize that Daisy was loved not only by us, but by all of you as well. It's like an unrelenting wave of brute force love! :o) The power of your words is helping us heal.

Thank you.

Those two words... simply not enough to describe just how AMAZING the Dogster community has been in helping us through the loss of our Daisy. This inadequacy does not stop us from trying though... so, again: thank you!

I started this Dogster page for Daisy to record every moment of her life... knowing one day I'd have something to look back on. I never expected her life to end so soon. I never realized the number of lives she touched. We are overwhelmed.

Simply amazing.

Keep writing, keep posting pics, and keep the love going around. We love to read about your doggies. Give them lots of hugs. Let them know they're loved each and every day. If I could reach through the webernet and love on your doggies, I would! :o)

And I gave it right back.
Even kissed momma right on the nose.

After I went to sleep, my peeps cried a lot and held me tight.
And I know they will miss me a lot. I will miss them too.

Seizure


July 31st 2007 6:41 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Dogsters,

It was not a good day... we weren't ready to take our Daisy in to see Dr. Kreeger... we thought we had weeks. Not days. Not today.

Daisy lost the strength in her legs today... her legs buckled under her while walking from the parking lot to the administration building. I carried her in my arms, sobbing all the way.

And it was an afternoon of horror... we believe that Daisy experienced some sort of seizure this afternoon.

My poor girl was gnashing her teeth, frantically thrashing her sticks, and drooling excessively. I felt so lost... I didn't know what to do for her. So I grabbed her and held her... my biggest fear that I would lose her right there in my arms. I wasn't ready for her to go, especially not like this.

She came out of it after 45-50 seconds, but she lay there... conscious, but unblinking. Her pupils were constricted into tiny dots.

I was one weepy mess. Jason was called and he was on his way to get us.

After about an hour, Daisy started responding normally again. She was cognizant of us and her surroundings. Our Daisy was back... for a bit. With a heavy heart, we decided that it was time to let Daisy go while she still remained mentally and physically "our Daisy".

So we set our Daisy free. We know we'll see her again one day.

Dear Dogsters,

Daisy has had more than her share of vet visits for her short lifetime...
We brought Daisy in to see Dr. Jeffreys today.
Her belly was swollen - filled with fluid.

They ran blood work - her counts are up, but her chemistry showed other abnormalities... the main issue being protein loss.

They also did an ultrasound. They took a sample of the fluid on which to run pathology.

We met with Dr. Jeffreys and she told us they could give her care for the short term, but in the long run there wasn't anything else they could do for her.

She gave us the option of keeping her at the ER for a couple of days, letting them drain the fluid, knowing it would invariably come back again - or - taking Daisy home with us and spending as much time as we could with her.

We took Daisy home.
She's resting comfortably and doesn't seem to be in any pain.
Her poor little paws are so cold and she's wrapped up under a fleece blanket.

Our hearts are breaking and tears are running down my face as I write this.
But I wanted you all to know how much your love and support has helped us through these last few weeks. We may not be on Dogster the next couple of days, but we wanted to let you know what was going on.

Grab your dog and give 'em a big, big hug and don't ever let go. And then give 'em another hug from us. Let them know they are loved.

Love,
Nancy & Jason

But... momma tells me that everyone's been asking about me!
They're coming by the cubicle to get their Daisy fix.
And momma has to turn them away... so sad.

No worries though... after a relaxing weekend, I shall be back to the office on Monday!

Chemo #2 Cancelled

Dear Doggies

Counts are up, but not great. :o( It's slow going. My white blood cell counts are up to 400 now... but not enough for me to start on my second dose of chemotherapy. Dr. Jeffreys thinks it may be delayed a week.

I'm going to see her again in two weeks to do another count to make sure my immune system is back up before she will resume my chemo. Gah.

I hate waiting.

Dear Puppy,

As long as my temperature is within the normal range, I only get checked twice a day. If my temperature rises (as it had on the weekend), then I am poked an excessive amount of times. *sigh*

Lemme tell ya... it's motivation to get better.

I'm headed to the vet again today to get my blood work done - we're hoping for lots and lots of white blood cell counts. Keep your paws crossed! :o)

Dear Doggies,

I'm sprung!!! My peeps came and got me outta the doggie ER this afternoon. Don't worry, it was with Dr. Jeffreys' full cooperation. :o)

She called this morning and told my peeps that I could go home around 4:00 pm. However, later on that morning, around 12:30 pm - Dr. Jeffreys called again and said that if my peeps wanted to pick me up earlier they could.

Evidently I convinced them that I was more than ready and healthy enough to go home since I chewed through and destroyed not one, not two, but THREE of the IV lines.

Tee hee! Just being bratty to get my way.
Well, it worked. My peeps came and got me at 2:00 pm. :o)

My white blood cell counts (the neutrophils) are still very low, but they are moving on up and Dr. Jeffreys thinks they will continue to improve. My platelets, however, are lower - but she said that is common and that the platelets take longer to get hit by the chemotherapy.

My peeps have been charged with two jobs:

1) Continue to give me oral antibiotics for the next 10 days.
2) Take my temperature twice a day... yes, in the bum.

I protest to #2!!! But hey, if it gets me outta the ER and back home where I can sleep contentedly and eat hamburger, peanut butter, and cheese - I guess the pros outweigh the cons.

I'm scheduled to go see Dr. Jeffreys again next Wednesday for some more blood work. I am aiming for big leaping white blood cell counts by then. :o)

But wow, what's with the recent tweaks and upgrades around here??? I hardly recognize this place anymore... and I've only been gone to the ER for three days. ;o)

The Dogster Dog got his own page, started giving out watermelon slices and BLUE stars. How cool is that?

And not only is the pawmail and online pup pal notifier on the home page, now the "stalk your pals' pages" feature is up front, as well as a listing of recent rosettes and stars. WOwiee!!

OMG, and one more cool thing... you can now directly re-gift (not in the bad way) your pal directly from your rosette. That probably doesn't describe it every well, but I love that feature anyway. :o)

Thanks, HQ! Make sure you get some play time in between all your hard work.

Dear Doggies,

And I'm cranky.
I'm tired too!
I'm allowed to throw a tantrum, aren't I?

~*lays down on the ground*~
~*kicks legs up*~
~*starts giving off a gawd-awful howl*~

Okay, so I didn't really do that.
But I am feeling a wee bit cranky.

Tonight, my peeps visited me at the ER and brought me a whole whopper! All mine! I didn't have to share it with the kitteh! Every delicious flame-broiled inch of meatses... mine.

BUT...
... the schnibble couldn't be too big
... it had to be the perfect size to fit inside my dainty mouth
... daddy held it too high, I wouldn't it eat
... momma held it just right
... many times I shunned daddy's meat offerings for momma's
... momma held the meats in her palm
... I didn't want to eat it out of daddy's palm
... he had to hold it between the tips of his fingers

That's right, minions!
Feed the princess.

After this whole ordeal, the whopper was finally in my bellay.
And then I belched... a couple of times. And then some.

I am feeling better. Temperature is back to normal. Blood tests tomorrow.
I wanna go home.
NOW.

Please?

Dear Norm,

ArrRrrRooOooo!!! I wanna go home!!! :o(

Just call me Miss-Behavin'... the tech said that I was tipping the food bowl over, up-ending the contents, and then burying the bowl.

My peeps were quite surprised to hear that since I am a *perfect* angel at home. I am a dainty girl. I've never tossed a bowl of food in my life! Seriously. I could chip my manicure. The tech must be imagining things.

I'm stuck in ICU at the moment, got two types of broad spectrum antibiotic IVs going through me right now. This will hopefully fight off the infection I have and cut down the fever.

These next few days are critical for me to fight off this infection and to bring up my immunity.

They'll retest my blood on Friday once the antibiotics have had a couple of days to get around in my system and do their job.

When my peeps came to see me this evening, my fever was down from 105.2 to 103.5 - this is still high considering that a normal, healthy dog's temperature is supposed to be 100 to 102.5.

They brought me treats of all kinds, laid them out for me to choose, but I shunned the treats. I wanted to go home instead. :o(

Tomorrow, I overheard them saying that they're going to bring me a charbroiled hamburger... they know me, holding out for the good stuff.

Keep your paws crossed for me, pals!!! I will do my best to fight through this setback.

Daisy's @ the Emergency Vet


July 18th 2007 10:31 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Dogsters,

We called the vet this morning, and her assistant, Rose, suggested we bring Daisy into the Winston office to get her blood-work done.

After they did the blood-work, they took her vitals and noted that she had a fever of this morning and they suggested that she be put on two types of IV antibiotics.

We took her to the Greensboro emergency vet since this is where our oncologist is located.

Her white blood cell count was so low, it wouldn't even register on the the Winston office's machine, so they did another run at the Greensboro office. The final tally: 500, the normal range being 5000.

We think they will keep her overnight, but the oncologist will call and let us know. Other than being lethargic and having a fever, she seems to be okay... her tail's wagging.

We'll keep you updated.

Love,
Daisy's Peeps

Dear Dogsters,

Thank you for all your continued prayers and words of encouragement and support... we are so blessed that Daisy has so many pals to help her through this. :o)

Daisy started chemo last Wednesday (it seems like forever and an age ago), she was feeling pretty lackluster up until Sunday. By Monday and Tuesday, she was perking up and wanted to tug my arm off to run and chase the birds and the squirrels. It was a good day for her.

But I guess there are good days and bad days. Today was a bad one.

Three pills for three weeks.

The vet warned us that the side-effects could take up to a week to manifest itself. After seeing how she was feeling better the last couple of days, it broke my heart to see her shaking and scared again... as if unsure of what's going on inside her own body.

I have been blessed with a super boss (Joy) & big boss (Mike - the AVP) who are letting me bring Daisy into work with me every day. It's times like these that I am relieved to have her right beside me.

Please send pawsitive thoughts and energies Daisy's way... I know she will get through this.

I'm up to 19.4 lbs!!! WahoO! That's a lot for just two weeks of straight burger-cheese-peanut butter feedings. I did get almost a whole ice cream cone to myself, but I totally puked it up cos my peeps forgot that anything cold upsets my stomach. Still... it was good going down.

My fur is growing back - I've got some pale yellow patches where they had shaved me for testing. My peeps have been giving me extra scritches there cos it's been itchies. Ahhhh... scritchies for the itchies feels good.

My breathing is still labored, but it doesn't diminish my need to play... I just don't play for extended periods of time like I used to.

Thank you to all my pup pals and their peeps. In addition to what the meds have done for me, all your love and support has supplied the rest of the healing... for both me and my peeps.

She was pretty much super-glued to her daddy's side all night. We felt horrible giving her the chemo since she had *just* started feeling better.

BUT, good news! This morning, she was pretty much back to herself again. :o) She's a remarkable girl. For all your prayers and words of support, encouragement, and kindness... we thank you. She's feeling better because of all the pawsitive thoughts you're sending her way.

My peeps hope the prednisone kicks in soon - it's supposed to stimulate my appetite - and lord knows I need all the help I can get in order to get some meats on my bones.

Tomorrow is another work day for me, so early to bed I go... I must try and get all the rest possible in order to perform the office duties assigned to me. :o)

Oncology Update


July 10th 2007 6:54 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Dogsters,

After a long day, our baby girl is home with us. The oncologist was super nice and answered all our questions patiently and explained everything to us in plain ol' english.

They kept Daisy at the pet hospital during the day to draw some more blood work for a CBC (complete blood count), do an ultrasound on her abdomen, and checked out her pee. They are using this as a baseline to compare against in nine weeks.

The oncologist, Dr. Jeffreys, recommended a combination of chemotherapy (lomustine) and prednisone. We are starting her on this protocol tomorrow. Then we'll have another chemo appointment in three weeks. After the second treatment, they will redo the ultrasound and xrays again to see if there is any improvement. We'll also do another CBC in the next 10 days.

Dr. Jeffreys said that the side-effects of the chemo are rare... but may include vomiting or diarrhea. The main risk of this chemo, however, is a lowered resistance to infection. Her immune system will be all out of whack, which may cause her to catch an infectious disease. Daisy may become the first dog in a bubble. :o)

A quarter-pound hamburger patty, a 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of peanut butter later, our girl is laying in her bed, belly protruding from her lip-smackin'licous dinner, and resting as comfortably as possible.

Thank you all so much for your pawsitive thoughts and prayers! Coming on Dogster and reading all your wonderful comments is the bright spot in our otherwise gray day. We always make sure to pass the messages on to Daisy. :o)

Dear Dogsters,

God. Even the name sounds evil and deadly.

We got the test results at the end of the day... it's definitely cancer. Histiocytic sarcoma is a highly aggressive form of cancer and tends not to respond well to chemotherapy.

We are meeting with the oncologist tomorrow for treatment options. At least we know now. We can move ahead and make her better as best we can.

Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes. It means the world to us that so many of you care so much for our little Daisy. :o)

Thanks a bunch! Every pup pal on Dogster has been *super* encouraging and supportive during this time. I don't know what we would've done without your caring words.

We're praying for good news too... or at least *some* news so we can move forward with the treatment - whatever it may be.

My poops are getting more solid. By 'more solid', I mean, 'not liquidy'. And by 'not liquidy', I mean 'smooshy'. Ick. Momma had to wipe my bum with not two, not three, not four... but FIVE baby wipes to get my butt clean. Oh, the humiliation.

I slept a lot this weekend, cuddled with my peeps (you know I'm sick when I cuddle with my peeps cos I'm usually a pretty independent doggie), and ate lots of beef and peanut butter. Mmmm...! Good stuff. *slurp*

The fur on my sticks are starting to grow back - I've got a little bit of yellow fuzz showing. Oh! And did I mention - on my trip to the vet on Friday, they shaved a bit of fur off of my side. *sigh* I didn't have much fur to begin with, and now I'm nekkid in spots. How embarrassing!

I will keep all y'all updated as soon as we hear anything.

Dear Norm,

I went into work with my momma! :o) My daddy helped re-arrange some stuff in my momma's work space and made me an area of my very own.

I got ready for work just like momma. I got to put on my new red bandanna - it's got a nifty gold star. We drove to the university and before we got into the administration building where my momma works, I smeared a little bit of Daisy on their pristine and finely manicured lawn. Yeah. My tummy's been a bit pookie lately and uh, my poops a little runny.

Luckily we went in earlier than normal so not a lot of people were around. My momma scooped up as much as she could with the doggie doody bag, but still... how much can ya scoop when it's liquefied like that? Ick. Poor momma.

I am happy to report that the day passed without further squishy, wet poopy incidents. :o) We took two pee breaks and walks around the Quad during the day.

So I spent the day greeting my adoring public - got lots of pets, gave lots of licks, all in all a very busy day. I can tell why momma is tuckered out when she comes home from work. Work is draining! Now I know what it feels like firsthand.

I slept as much as I could, but my poor puppy dog eyes can barely stay open... I need *at least* 14 hours of unadulterated, non-interrupted sleep.

Time to eatses, then it's time to sleepses. Tomorrow is another big day. I'm headed to Greensboro with my daddy to see the other internal specialist for more testing. Keep your paws crossed for me, doggies!!

Dear Harry,

Well, first of all, my daddy stayed home with me today!

Then we went to momma's workplace and met her co-workers, her boss, and her big boss - the AVP! Momma's boss got me a get well gift bag... well, actually, it was from her dogs Martha and Murphy - I got a big ol' bag of chicken jerky treats, a squeakie frog, and a rope tug!

Momma's boss is super cool - totally a dog person. So is the big boss! They said that if momma needs to take care of me, I can come in to work with her any time! Or she can work from home. Whatever it takes for me to get better. They are super duper nice. I think they just guaranteed lifetime employee loyalty from my momma. :o)

We had lunch together, and I got to partake in the meastses from momma's sub - turkey and ham... yummers! I was hoping for a bite of daddy's meatball sub, but all I got were bits of Doritos. Hrmph!

I headed home with daddy and settled in for a big nap. I'm really good at napping... a champion napper, if you will. We got a call from Dr. Bassett (as in hound - seriously, that's his name) around 6:00 telling us that he got the results in from my bone marrow test showed no abnormalities. WOO HOO!!!!!!!! This does not rule out lymphoma entirely, but it puts way down on the list. YEAH!

We are still waiting on the lymph node aspirate results to rule out lymphoma completely. The results should be back by Monday. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. :o)

We will be doing a lot more types of OTHER testing to find out what's wrong. My next appointment is on Friday - I'm going to travel all the way to Greensboro (45 minutes). Dr. Bassett is out of the office the rest of this week, but he recommended we see Dr. Parnell.

Hope every pup has a safe and happy 4th of July! :o)

Dear Puppy,

I am feeling pretty darn good. :o) I am a little bruised up from where they stuck me with the IV and sore from where they sucked up some of my bone marrow, but other than that, I am my usual chipper self. I am just so happy to be home with my peeps.

Lemme tell ya, my peeps are spoiling me - fresh cooked chicken breast hand fed to me morning, noon, and night... picked up to go up and down the stairs... picked up to go up and down on the bed... picked up to go up and down on the sofa (you get the picture). It's pretty pawesome.

I want to thank all my pup pals for their thoughtful and encouraging words. I will do my best to live up to your expectations and bully my way through this disease!

Dear Dogsters,

You are all just the sweetest, most caring bunch evah! Your words have given us comfort and hope during these last couple of days.

Daisy is home now and resting. She had a bone marrow test which will take a couple of days to determine the type and level of severity her cancer.

Poor girl got shaved again - this time on the front of her chest for the bone marrow test. At least all the fur on her hindquarters is intact.

Our bank account is a little smaller, but our hearts are brimming over with joy now that our baby's home with us. She's got one of daddy's old t-shirts covering her while she's dozing on her pillow.

We will keep you all updated as we find out the results from her tests. Thank you all so much for your support and concern. It means the world to us!

Dear Dogsters,

Thank you all for your encouraging words and rosettes... :o) Your thoughts and prayers mean so much to us.

We went to visit Daisy today at the emergency vet - she had a big ol' blue lampshade on her head to keep her from picking at her IV drip. We were so happy to see her and she was so happy to see us... she peed on the floor. Twice.

We took her out and she peed the longest pee ever. And then she did it again. And then again! Must've been all the IV fluids going through her system.

After the huge flush, she was ready to nosh on some chicken jerky. In fact, she almost ate the whole bag. :o)

There were two areas on both her front legs that were shaven clean - one had the IV in it. As well, there was a shaven area by the left side of her jaw so they could draw a sample from her lymph node.

We met with the attending vet briefly - he confirmed that the blood tests came back as positive for lymphoma. We'll get more information and our next course of action tomorrow when we meet with the specialist.

We miss our baby girl so much! It's surreal not having her flopped out beside us or nudging us with a squeaky toy. The emergency vet was hopeful that she would be home with us by Monday night. We'll keep you all updated.

Dear Dogsters,

After spending the day in an absolute daze, it is with a heavy heart that I write this diary entry. The vet says that Daisy may have cancer, but more blood work and xrays will need to be done.

We brought Daisy in to see the vet today - she hadn't been eating well, and just last night and this morning, her breathing was fast and noticeably labored. The absolute tell-all sign that she wasn't feeling well was her lack of interest in playing.

Her xrays weren't clear - the vet said that usually fat is needed to provide contrast to see whatever it is that they're looking for, and evidently she doesn't have enough fat, so the pictures were a little fuzzy. Her red and white blood cell counts were low, and the vet is sending the samples to an off-site lab for a more complete blood count.

They are keeping her overnight to monitor her and to give her IVs. The vet is taking a fine needle aspirate from her lymph nodes and sending that information off to a lab as well. We will hopefully know something by tonight or Sunday.

A biopsy on her bone marrow will also be performed on Monday and that's when we'll meet with the internal specialist who will review the results and provide further direction on what our next steps are.

Please keep sweet Daisy in your thoughts and prayers... we will update you as soon as we know more.

Dear Daisy,

How's the competitive eating coming along? Have you gained any weight? Has the cat gotten chomp'd?

Sincerely,
Stinky Pete

--

Dear Pete,

The forced feedings continue... and the cat got another healthy dose of attempted head-fittings. I don't think I've gained any weight though. In fact, I'm looking rather gaunt in these pics my peeps took. Don't worry, it's just a trick of the camera - the picture upside down, up behind the back of the car seat... but, holy shnozzles, Batman! Look at my snout! It sure is pointy.

But at least I am eating more than I would normally (which is a handful of kibble here and there). Don't tell my peeps, but I am really holding out for the good stuff... chicken jerky. I could snarf a whole bag of that stuff down. Daddy's been giving me treats in the morning, and if I eat a satisfactory amount of dinner, then I get treats afterwards too. Anything to fatten me up...

What's new with that cat of yours? Have you given him any head chompin's lately?

Sincerely,

Dear Pete,

No head chompings, but he almost got some butt chompin's... momma was doing the "roll the kibble across the kitchen floor" thing to get me interested in eating. Every once in a while, a kibble would land near the kitty cat and I'd chomp down on it (the kibble, not the cat) hard and fast. Kitty got pissed that he never got very much kibble, so he scurried off.

Later on that evening... (and I am ashamed to admit this) he gave me a tongue bath. ME. Tongued. By. A. Cat. Ewwwwwwwww!

I guess it's better than a regular bath.

But still.
Damn cat.

The rabbit.

My momma let me out of the car, and I gave chase! I ruuuffffffff'd and barrrrrrrrk'd at it as I ran after it. Oh my dog... that was FUN! Then I came back around and sniffed all over the ground.

Now I know when the bunnies are prowling about. I will be sure to request a bathroom break at this time. :o)

Dear Meaty,

I *do* eat. Just not a lot.

I am Kate Moss of the doggie world. Except I am way hotter and don't do drugs.

Okay, so I'm just not interested in food. There are simply more interesting things like playing with squeakie toys, chasing squirrels and birds, and sleeping.

But my daddy has found my weakness...
the presence of that... *spitooey* CAT!

Daddy places the cat near my food and I chomp away.

One time, daddy put the cat right beside my food dish. The cat was *this* close to a head-fitting.

Does this constitute animal abuse? Forced feedings and forced head-fittings? I think we should call PETA on daddy.

Damn that daddy-man for making me eat.

Dear Pete,

I got plenty of sleep, lemme tell ya! :o) It was pretty nice cos I was left home alone while my peeps went to see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Ocean's 13.

So my peeps tell me that it's a good thing Jessica Alba is hawt... cos she sure can't act worth a damn. As corny as the dialogue was though, the acting on everyone else's part - working with what they were given - did a decent job. Oh and Morpheus (from the Matrix)? He voices the Silver Surfer. I didn't know that! Cool.

My peeps enjoyed Ocean's 13 more than Ocean's 12... they only did the annoying shaky cam thing twice throughout the movie. Oooh, and Matt Damon with that nose... all kinds of hotness. Hee hee!

And now for a nap... mmmm... Matt Damon. Zzzz... *drool*

Redneck Rampage

Dear Daisy,

Ut oh... I smell redneck on you. What happened??

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

Dear Norm,

It was an invasion of redneck proportions... little redneck, big redneck, and mama redneck... it was a sight to behold.

In actuality, it was dreaded family get-together... a combination of Father's Day and other family birthdays that happen to occur in June. Luckily this only happens two other times out of the year - Thanksgiving and Christmas (but we're not normally here for Christmas).

And just to be clear... my momma and I married into this. Ahhh, the things we do for love. Daddy... you owe us big time.

So I got mauled by little redneck, fed table scraps by big redneck, and got made fun of by mama redneck - she said I was too skinny. I think she was too fat, but did I actually voice that comment? No, I kept my opinions to myself. Had she offered to share the porkchop she was graspin' in her hands, I may have forgiven her... but alas, she did not offer a bite. Not even a nibble.

Then on top of all that... I got a bath. Gaaaarrr!!! At least it got all the redneck stench offa me. Now I smell like mangoes. Thanks... again, daddy.

What a way to end the weekend. At least I've got five months to prepare myself before the next redneck gathering. I am *so* not looking forward to it.

How about when I barked at the man in brown delivering boxes to our door?
Do I make you proud of the way I protect the house while you're gone?
How about the way I prance when we're taking our morning walk?
Do you like the time we spend together?

I was supposed to get a bath tonight (cos I'm due for Frontline is this weekend), but my peeps went out for dinner and forgot all about my bath. They are getting old and forgetful, I guess.

It's unusual for them to go out mid-week for dinner, but it was a celebratory dinner for my daddy - he got a new job (same company). Not sure how much he's gonna make, but I think it converts into a LOT of doggie biscuits. :o)

Then they played (more than) three rounds of Wii Tennis - the obscenities they shouted and screamed at the CPU Miis kept me up and I had to actually go into the next room to get some peace and quiet.

Dear Harry,

I've come to a realization that my momma is a "Kevin".

Who is this "Kevin" I speak of? Well, my momma's best friend, Wendy, used to date this guy Kevin. Kevin was smitten with Wendy. In fact, he was so smitten... he would just stare at her all the time. Stare in awe of her awesomeness. Uh huh. Yeah. She dumped him eventually (but that's another story).

My momma has become that guy, the person who stares at their loved ones.

I know I'm cute and all that... but seriously. It's kinda creepy. In a sweet way. But still.

Dear Pete,

None of the above, I'm afraid... I'm actually amused / appalled for all you Internet Explorer users. You see, I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. I have adblock and flashblock installed, so I don't normally see any of the the, uh, 'colorful' ads Dogster has on their site. But in checking to see the format of my page, I opened up Internet Explorer and was shocked... SHOCKED by the 'Ads by Glam' that Dogster allows on the site.

But, hey... but I totally understand - it costs money to run a site like this, and ads are a necessary part of it. So it's cool. But what I don't understand is that the ads don't much relate to dogs, Dogster, or pets in any way (with the exception of Beneful, but ... I won't go there).

But, ranting aside, one particular ad caught my eye. The ability to make your own ManQuarium. Yes, doggies. It's true. I could not make it up if I tried. Check out the detailed screenshots here.

So thank you, Dogster HQ, for now I have a ManQuarium of my very own. ;o)

Thank dog for Firefox.

P.S. Can I dispose of him in the same manner as a goldfish?

Dear Norm,

I'm used to my five day "weekends"... dear dog... what does a girl have to do around here to get some decent, uninterrupted sleep???

I've been so tired I haven't even wanted to play with my squeakie toys. I know. Crazy tired, right???

More About Me


June 1st 2007 12:12 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dearest Dogsterers,

Since I've been tagged again, here are a few more facts about me:

1. I have a food gauge built right into my body... once I've eaten enough, my middle swells up and it's time to stop the chompings.

2. I love to have the sides of my hind legs rubbed... it makes me stretch my sticks out alllllllll the way until they can't go any further. Ahhhhh!

3. I've been called a Dingo before. Yeah. Don't ask.

4. I love to lay in the sun. Even if there is just a little strip of sunlight peeking in through the blinds, I will try and squeeze myself into that spot of light.

5. I'm a very dainty girl. I don't like food touching my paws or holding onto bones when I'm chomping the meat offa them.

6. I'm toy motivated, not treat motivated. If you're going to train me... better have a squeakie in hand.

7. The smellier the treat, the more I love it. Right now we've got some lamb jerky treats that make my daddy gag. Yum!

Dear Daisy,

Every time I see you, it seems like your sticks have grown an inch taller! Are you on some miracle growth hormone???

Dear Puppy,

Herb says my sticks look longer every time he sees me too! I don't think my sticks have grown... if they have, at this rate, I'll be 10 feet tall pretty soon!!! That would be pretty cool.

I have been eating better - whenever the cat is around, I am in competitive eating mode. Takeru Kobayashi has nuttin' on me! Strangely though - no matter how much I eat, I can't seem to gain any weight.

Now if I could only bottle this magic, I am sure I would be rich! :o)

Dear Daisy,

How do you determine your poopy spot? I like an area of freshly mowed grass... oohh, that's good poopy.

Sincerely,
Stinky Pete

--

Dear Pete,

I am very particular about pooping. I don't like pooping in open areas. I usually like to do my doody near the edge of the property or hidden behind a tree (don't look at me - I'm pooping!). Even when I was up at the cabin - I wouldn't poop right in the middle of the open space... rather, I would mosey on over down to the edge of the property and execute my download there. Ruby, on the other hand, was not so discriminating and would poop willy-nilly all over the yard. Makes for awesome doggie landmines. Go, Ruby!

Dear Harry,

I wish this weekend was over, but it just keeps going! My peeps took an extra day off so my attention is required at all times to make sure the peeps are behaving. The peeps finally broke down and communed with the internet (hence the barrage of diary entries). We're still roughing it though - cos the computer is on a DIAL-UP connection *gasp* and it runs LINUX *faint*... but all of this could not stop us from connecting to the webernets and catching up on the outside world.

But we still had a lawn to mow and laundry to wash at home, so we packed up, cleaned up, and headed back around noon.

Thank dog this "weekend" is almost over... as soon as I step my paw into the house, I'm crashing out. Snooze at ya later.

Daisy

My details for Monday:

Things between Ruby and I are back to normal... we ran and played in the forest. I came back to the cabin with a dead spider cling-on hangin' off my butt. My peeps figured I must've rolled in something good. Heck, ya!

After another great breakfast cooked by Herb, Fran ditched us this morning. Frannie needed to get to work at 1:00 PM, so she packed up Ruby and left. Bye bye, Ruby! Sniff ya later. Now I gots the remaining peeps to myself. But not for long... Herb left after lunch. I was so sad to see him go. Later, we just hung out and made a list of supplies we wanted to get as the peeps headed into town.

I was left on my own in the cabin when a fierce thunder / hail storm came down. I hid under *something* and braved it out while the elements pounded on the tin roof of the cabin. My peeps came home shortly thereafter and the pack took a nap. :o)

For dinner, we roasted weenies over an open fire... mmmm! Yum! Even if I did feel a tad guilty for noshin' on my distant cousins the hot dogs, I still chomped down heartily.

No pukies today! I think the excitement from being at the cabin has finally worn off. Everything I ate stayed in my bellay.

Dear dog, is the weekend over yet??? I am so beat! When are y'all going back to work so I can get some decent beauty sleep?

Daisy

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!


May 27th 2007 11:10 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]

Here's what happened on Sunday:

Herb cooked us breakfast and afterwards, we had a game of badminton. I tried to play, but no one gave me a racket. Ruby and I just cheered them on... but secretly we were plotting on ways of either tripping them or stealing the birdies - neither of which came to fruition.

Afterwards, we took a drive out on the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at some scenic overlooks. At one of them, I puked up some of my breakfast. Blech. Momma would've puked too, but she took some dramamine. Smart girl.

At another scenic overlook, we stopped to have a picnic lunch and then headed back to the cabin. It was nap time for the ladies while the men chopped wood.

Daddy and Herb chopped up the apple tree that had fallen down over at the other cabin... we had a ton of wood for our fire tonight. We made foil packs with chicken marinated in teriyaki sauce and threw in all sorts of veggies. Daddy was the designated cook since he was manning the fire pit. We also had some fresh roasted corn too. Mmmmm... *burp* Dog, it was good.

Ruby and I got into a little scrap at the end of the evening... she was hogging it up on the couch with her loofa dog, when I jumped up beside her and all hell broke loose. There was growling and there was snapping, but no one got hurt. Daddy broke it up and held us down while we chilled out. Ruby's got some aggression issues. Me? I just tried to lay down on the couch! Sheesh!

Sincerely,

Dear Norm,

I am having a blast up here! I'm having a great time getting my stank on. WOo hoO!

Here's the low-down of our happenings on Saturday:

We got up to Fran & Herb's cabin around noon-ish. The weather was gorgeous! Ruby ran up to greet me - we sniffed each others bums and then ran off to play.

I spent the afternoon with Ruby at the cabin while the peeps went off to get supplies in nearby Galax, VA.

Frannie came by the cabin around 3:00 and shortly therafter, my peeps and Herb came back from their jaunt to Walmart.

Everyone except momma took a walk down to the creek - and they came back with some poison ivy! Eeee! It's a good thing momma didn't go. She would've been in tears and freakin' out. She's too much of a city girl for the big, scary woods.

We drove into Mount Airy for a drive-in movie and between the four of them - they ate six hotdogs, two fries, two drinks, and two large popcorns. *burp* Piggies. The whole lot of 'em. We saw Shrek 3 (and Spiderman 3 - but not really, cos we left after Shrek).

Everyone crashed out when we got back to the cabin and no one made a peep until morning.

Zzzzz...

[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Daisy,

Do your Peeps ever ask you stupid, obvious questions? For example, tonight my Momma was eating pizza and NOT sharing, I might add, and she looked at me and said, "Maggs, are you begging?" To which I replied, "are you blind?" No, not really, but duh, of COURSE I was begging. If you want me to stop begging, SHARE, WOMAN! BOL! She also asks me "what are you doing?" all the time. This is usually Momma code for "I know what you're doing and I want you to stop, so I'll ask you this really ridiculous question."

Tell me I don't have the only blind Momma on the planet!

Maggs

--

Dear Maggs,

OMG... All. The. Time. Who do they think they're dealing with? Sheesh! Don't waste our time and ask a question y'all already know the answer to.

~ When I shake a squeakie toy at them, they ask me, "Do you wanna play?" Heck ya!

~ When they ask me, "Do you want a treat?" Uh, hello? Of course I want an arfin' treat!

~ When I lay my head up on the bed or the couch, they'll ask me, "Do you want up?" Uh, yeah. No scheiße, Sherlock!

Sounds like my peeps are pretty oblivious too. *sigh* Humans... they're so hard to train.

Love,
Momma

Dear Momma,

Do I wake you up by squeaking the toy on / by / in your face? No... I'm just trying to be polite. At your earliest convenience (such as, when you wake up fron your nap), you are to play with me.

Dear Doggies,

Gah! I got smacked with four IT rosettes - from Rajah Q., Finlay, Summer, and Scout!

What's all this craziness going around? Well, check out the rules (copy and paste so you don't have to re-type 'em):

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged need to post in their Diary the rules & their SEVEN (7) pawsome facts. Then choose SEVEN (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!

Seven Not-So-Secret Facts about Moi:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. I was named after a Hobbit.
2. I like people more than dogs. I like my peeps best, but I'm standoff-ish and independent sometimes.
3. I've got sticks for legs. They've been known to double as nunchucks.
4. I get smelly two days after a bath - after a week, stink lines start coming off of me.
5. Neck scritches are best from momma. Kisses on the lips are best delivered to daddy.
6. I love, love, love to fetch. Throw anything and I'll run and retrieve it. Toss a midget. Go on! Try it! Don't worry, I'll bring him back!
7. Going somewhere? I am *so* there... I love car rides!

Here are some haikus for you:

When I poop, you scoop.
Soft and fresh. You need two hands.
My bum is itchy.

Sniffing fresh cut grass,
I find a furbulous spot,
For which to poop on.

~

Squating on the lawn.
Poo does not want to appear.
Grass tickles my bum.

Dear Daisy,

I heard you almost got into a fight yesterday! What happened?

Warm regards,

--

Dear Harry,

Me? Fight? I'm a lover, not a fighter... besides which, she started it.

She being a mini dachshund by the name of Cinnamon Stick. Ha! 'Stick', my ass. :P More like a cinnamon sausage roll.

My peeps and I were walking in the ritzy part of the neighborhood when we came upon an older couple carrying their dachshund. They were chatty and fawned all over me - them giving me pets, me giving them kisses.

I guess the little runt got jealous cos she was growling the whole time. After a while, I deigned to acknowledge her presence so I trotted over for a sniff. The man held her down for a nose-to-nose greeting and the li'l bugger snapped at me! Jealousy is such an ugly thing.

I yelped, hid behind my daddy, and put on my sad, wounded face. Oh man, I milked it for as long as I could. And the suckas... they totally fell for it and gave me even more attention. Ha!

We eventually walked our way through the development and on the way back, as a gesture of defiance, I did a soft, squishy poop on Cinnamon Stick's lawn. Hee! A little something to remember me by. My daddy picked up as much as he could, but most of it ended up being smeared on their lawn.

She who poops last... wins!

Ran around outside like a wild woman, drank a bunch of water, then puked up bits of bully stick for my daddy to clean up. Wheeeeeeee!

Then, I got a bath. *sigh*

My peeps? They went to see a movie. WITHOUT me. The nerve! They did a two-fer: "Shrek 3" and "Disturbia". "Shrek" was funny - better than the second one. "Disturbia" would've been a good date movie... if you were 15 years old. But still, decent acting by Shia LaBeouf. A few creepy / suspensful moments had my momma peeping through fingers. Did I mention she was peeping through my daddy's fingers? Yeah.

Available in 4 great styles: Lil Pup, Massa Pee, Run D.O.G. and Sniff Dog.
Each toy is approximately 8 inches high and each has his own rap tune to keep your pooch entertained for hours.


Seriously... 'cooler than Fonzi'? Not hard to do in this day and age. "Who's cool, and has two thumbs? This guy! Aaaaay!"

Then I like to go for the face. It taunts me. So I have to remove it.

Once that is done, the best part remains... a shell of its former latex self. It's great for "death shakes" and for tug-o-war with the peeps! And I must admit... there are times when I simply let go during tuggies, so that the squeakie toy slaps back into their faces. Hee! Love it!

I consider myself a connoisseur of all foods of the humankind. :o) Carrots, apples, celery... yeah, I'll eat it, but I know the good stuff when I taste it.

Take Cook-Out burgers, for example. Juicy. Meaty. Charbroiled. Mmmm! Then there's rotisserie chicken breast. Tastee! I've had ribs too. Yum. Cheese - only the best will do... smoked gouda? It's not bad-a!

Uh, but did I get any left overs from the dinner they had at Texas Land and Cattle Steakhouse on Friday? No...! Did I get to taste any of the hickory smoked sirloin? No! Did I get a schnibble of the garlic sirloin either? No! A nibblet of the grilled salmon? No! No! No!

How do they expect me to expand upon my highly developed epicurean palate if they don't allow me to sample the goodies? Hrmph.

We were playing the usual game of chase-the-kibble. I, of course, being so lithe and agile, was scoring most of the kibble that came our way. I guess the cat got pissed that he only got three measly bits, so when a kibble landed equidistance between us, I went for it... only to be hissed at! Okay, so I let him have that one. Whatta baby. :P

Well, after that incident, it pretty much ended the game of chase-the-kibble for the evening. The cat was banished downstairs to his dungeon for the night. And the kibble? Not so interesting now that there was no competition involved. :o(

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

--

Dear Puppy,

The toy situation is currently at a standstill. No new toys coming in (that my daddy knows of) and no old toys going out.

Although, there was talk of giving my toys away:

"Daisy has too many toys, she doesn't need new ones."
   -"That's cos you don't throw away the bits of feet and ears that remains of her squeakie toys."

"But those are the parts she likes the best."
   -"She'll never get new toys at this rate."

"Well, she *does* have a lot of toys she doesn't play with - take that dental kong thing over there in the basket, for example... she never touches it."
   -"We could always give them away to the shelter, like Maggie May's doing."

Well... enough was enough! I promptly went over to my toy basket, started digging out all the toys I haven't played with just to prove them wrong. I pulled out at least two balls, three squeakies, and other nibblies.

Daddy just shook his head and resigned himself to having a smart doggie that likes to prove him wrong. Yeah, beeotches! ;o) Doggies rule, daddies drool!

Dear Pete,

In addition to barks (and moans, groans, whines, and whimpers), dogs also communicate through body language. :o)

Here are how some barks sound in other languages:

Cantonese Chinese: "Wo! Wo!"
Czech: "Haf! Haf!"
Dutch: "Kef! Kef!" or "Waf Waf!" or "Woef Woef!" (depending on the size of the dog)
Estonian: "Auh! Auh!"
Finnish: "Hau! Hau!" or "Vuh! Vuh!"
French: "Wouaff! Wouaff!" or "Ouah! Ouah!"
German: "Wau! Wau!" or "Wuff! Wuff!"
Japanese: "Wan! Wan!"
Mandarin (Han) Chinese: "Wang! Wang!"
Korean: "Mong! Mong!"
Lebanese: "Haw! Haw!"
Norwegian: "Voff! Voff!"
Polish: "How! How!"
Portuguese: "Au! Au!"
Russian: "Gav! Gav!"
Spanish: "Gau! Gau!"
Swedish: "Vov! Vov!"
Tamil: "Bou! Bou!"
Thai: "Hong! Hong!"

Do I bark with a southern accent, y'all?

If ya poop, ya scoop. No one wants to step in foreign poopage. And there most certainly *is* poopy etiquette in the doggie world. One would never squat right next to an already squatting doggie. Yes, we may sniff the present(s) they left, but never would we squat right beside them and do our doody at the same time. That is utterly reprehensible.

Strangely though, why do *some* people... when three bathroom stalls are available, and only the farthest to the right is currently occupied, deem it necessary to take the *middle* stall and execute a class one download? No one wants to hear that mess! Hello?? Can't you see there's a perfectly good, *empty* stall further to the left? Ick. It should be common courtesy to leave a buffer of an empty stall betwixt the occupants if one is available.

Doggies are obviously the superior life form. Just take it from Jerry Seinfeld: "Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them's making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge?" I wholly agree, Jerry. :o)

Dear Daisy,

As you know, my Momma says we are moving. Moving means that Momma is putting all my toys and bandanas and things into boxes. I learned today that I mustn't unpack these boxes or she gets mad. *sigh* So far, moving is not very fun.

Have you ever moved before? Was it scary?

How's your tummy feeling?

Maggs

--

Dear Maggs,

The only place I've moved was from my foster momma's farm to my current furever home. I was just a wee pup then, with nothing but a collar to call my own, so I don't think I was too traumatized by the whole situation

But! I think moves can definitely be traumatic. Especially since all the toys have to be put away! Boo! :o(

We will definitely move sometime in the next few years. There are a butt-load of kids in our neighborhood, and my momma is somewhat of the neighborhood nazi... she can't stand the kids loitering in our cul-de-sac. If she had her own kids, she probably wouldn't even be able to stand 'em either. Good thing she's got me instead, huh? ;o)

So we'll probably be moving into a more "adults only" type of neighborhood. Wow... that sounds dirty, like XXX! I meant to say, a neighborhood where every family doesn't have five bebe's kids running amok in other people's yards.

Daisy

P.S. Oh! And my tummy is feeling better. :o) Thanks!!!!

Ya! Apparently Paris can't believe it herself. She and her wonky eye are sentenced to the slammer for 45 days. I doubt she'll set one size 16 foot in a jail cell though... I am guessing she'll get off with community service and a longer probation period. I mean, c'mon... she's a Hilton.

Wha'chu think of the new tree rosettes? I think they're furbulous! But much like the bones, I wish they were real trees... for me to pee on (trees, not bones - blech).

Warm regards,
Shaggy

--

Dear Shaggy,

The tree rosettes are pretty cool. :o) I wonder if they're trying to balance the rosettes out so they're less grrrlie-fied. I mean, they've had the butterflies and the flowers, which are seriously girlie. And the trees, well... they are a lot less girlie, don'cha think?

This should bode well for doggies like Dexter and Fred who seem to eschew the pink or red rosettes, as well as the flowers or the butterfly rosettes. Rather, it seems they like to kick it old-school and stick with the blue rosettes.

Yay for manly tree rosettes! :o)

Dear Norm,

Hee! Evidently the PayPal email address I used had to be the same as the Dogster email address. Some poor schmuck at Dogster HQ had to go hunting down to match up the information for me cos if the email addresses are different, then Pay Pal doesn't know what to do with the account information. Sorry I confoozled y'all!

So... that still doesn't explain the plethora of rosette deposits from before, but hey, that's okay! Oh, and I must mention, once they Plus'd me again today... I got *another* 25 rosettes. BUT, my renewal date, which was the 10th of May, is now the 1st of June. And that's quite all right with me. Just glad this PayPal fiasco is all behind me so I can enjoy another year of Plus. :o)

[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Dogster HQ,

Ya gotta believe me... it wasn't my intention. Seriously.

My DogsterPlus account expires tomorrow, supposedly, but today I couldn't give away the beautified rosettes - only blue - which is okay, but I like the other ones much more. :o)

I had been de-Plus'd. Not sure how it happened... just did. Somewhere between today and my renewal date of tomorrow, I got dumped from Plus. Actually, it was surprising cos my page looked basically the same (except for the additional photos).

So I checked my PayPal account, cancelled the pending subscription, and renewed again. So, that totally helped to get me back on Plus and the ability to give out the pretty non-blue rosettes.

And uh, it also gave me another 25 rosettes. This, on top of the other 25 rosettes when I renewed last time. So this month... I've had 75 rosettes to give away. Not that I'm complaining, mind you... I'll take this kinda glitch any day. :o)

I got some pretty kickin' ninja powers today though - got my nails clipped and as I was practicing my ninja prowess, I slashed a big red scratch on my momma's thigh. I made her bleed her own blood.

Hmmm... I guess that's why they all wear pants at the vet's office.

Dear Larry,

My momma has discovered that cold food makes me toss my biscuits. I've got a sensitive tummy, I guess. Food fresh outta the can at room temperature is good. Leftover food that has been refrigerated needs to be warmed up to prevent it from coming back up.

Also, not taking my meds makes me pukey too. See, I've got a weak flap somewhere between my stomach and my intestines, and my gastric juices get all confused and don't know which way is up or down. Usually, it likes to come up and results in pukage.

Dear Doggies,

The word "renovaré" means "to renew" in Latin.

Recently, I received a notice from Dogster HQ saying that my Dogster Plus account was going to expire soon... so being the good, loyal doggie that I am, I dug the credit card out of my momma's wallet and signed onto her paypal account in order to renew my Dogster Plus account.

Well imagine my surprise when I renewed... I got 25 rosettes!!! And it wasn't anywhere near my next deposit date. Dunno if it's a glitch or not, but I'm keepin' 'em... or rather, keeping them to give away. But nonetheless, they're mine to do with as I desire. :o)

Oh, and my daddy? He bought me some more zealies too. Seriously. He bought 'em for me!!! :o) Not the me-using-his-credit-card method. Thanks for hookin' me up, daddy! Smoochies to you!

Dear Harry,

We got some take-out and had lunch on the patio overlooking the Magnolia Quad at WFU. My daddy offered me a schnibble of his charbroiled burger. Mmmm! Then my momma offered me a piece of her "chicken" nugget. BLeh. I wouldn't even look at it. Gimme some *real* meats instead of this processed corn pretending to be meats.

Later... I walked. I sniffed. I pooed.

Then, we headed to Reynolda Gardens and went on the nature trail. HooOOOoo boy! I loved sniffing all the lovely little messages other doggies had left me.

I met a cute little rat terrier named Lizzie... we sniffed and wanted to scamper off to play, but our respective peeps held us back. There were plenty of other doggies to see and sniff too.

By the end of it all, I was pooped, like you... and my peeps didn't hear another peep out of me all night.

- You catch him gnawing on your car's brake line.
- Whenever you're in the bath, he decides to fetch the radio.
- 'Accidentally' leaves slippery chew toy at top of basement stairs.
- He is slipping recalled dog and cat food into your homemade hamburger patties.
- You see him whittling a knife out of a Snausage.

Dear Harry,

Well, I sleep with my peeps in the bed. Momma gets in bed first. Then me. Then daddy. At this point, I get rolled, tossed, and squished ("kneaded"). A Daisy sammich, if you will.

So the other evening, while we are all laying in bed, the conversation goes like this:

"Daisy doesn't like to be sammiched."
  - "No, she doesn't like being the meats. She'd rather be the bread."

"What kinda of bread do you think Daisy would be?"
  - "A croissant."

"No... she's not big enough in the middle to be a croissant."
  - "She can be when she eats too much"

"I think she'd be a kaiser roll."
  -"What about the sticks?"

Seriously.

This is what my peeps discuss.

Well, I may start out as a kaiser roll, but if I'm sammiched tight enough between my peeps, I become a breadstick. And if that breadstick has room to expand, I'd be a breadstick... with sticks.

Every day, upon first meeting, I stick my nose up his butt. You know, to make sure it's the same cat and he hasn't swapped out with another one of his cat pals. They all look the same, but their butts are all distinctly unique... kinda like fingerprints.

After he passes the butt sniffing test, I boss him around with my snout. I have a very bossy snout. If he tries to get close to my peeps, I herd him off.

And when it comes to food, I will charge at him with my snout. He knows better than to come close to my food. But there are no rules when it comes to his food. His food is fair game.

Daddy came home yesterday and sniffed me. As he reeled back in shock, he asked momma if she realized just how stinky I was. Imagine the look of horror on momma's face when daddy told her that I was man-certified stinky. That's a whole lotta stinky.

On the outside, I looked woefully penitent... but on the inside, I was killing myself laughing.

Dear Pete,

I had some chicken for dinner. "Had" being the operative word. It didn't taste as good coming up as it did going down. Bleh.

I got too excited and woofed it down too fast, when all of a sudden it decided to make a reappearance... thankfully on the tile (momma adds).

But, um, that's not the ew. part.

So... don't read any further if you don't want to be horrifically grossed out.

Seriously.

Okay, I've warned you.

See... my momma's all doped up on Nyquil cos she got sick today, so unbeknownst to her, when I blew my chunks o' chicken, the cat was waiting... to, uh... eat it.

But since it was chicken, I didn't want the cat to have it... but I didn't want it either. Hey, I've got *some* standards... eating my own puke is simply crossing the line.

So I just stood there. Guarding my chunks. The cat lickin' his chops. We were at a stalemate.

Momma wondered why it got so quiet all of a sudden, when she finally looked over in her Nyquil haze to see our stand-off.

Our temporary impasse was resolved once momma scooped up the chunks with a paper towel and Windex'd the area.

Hey... as long as they cat doesn't get it, I'm down with that.

Dear Norm,

I didn't get to sleep a wink on Sunday. I was busy supervising momma. She decided to give the house a bath this weekend - I'm just glad it wasn't me gettin' the bath. *shudder*

Daddy's jetted off to Hartford for the week, so it was a good time to get in some spring cleaning. We got the sewing room cleaned out (we can see the carpet again!) and the bedroom tidied up. We also put fresh sheets on the bed. Momma loves fresh sheets, but me... I like the stanky ones best.

Then it was time for the vacuum monster to come out of the closet. I had to keep a trained eye on it to make sure it didn't try and attack my momma.

Ahh... but now it's Monday, and I can finally catch up on my beauty sleep. :o) Momma's at work, the vacuum beast is back in the closet, and I'm on the bed... make way for stinky.

Wall o' Toys

Dear Daisy,

I love to play ALL the time. My humans just can't keep up with me. What do you do when your peeps refuse to play with you? How do you get them to throw that ball?

Sincerely,
Meatball

--

Dear Meaty,

I have several techniques you can try out:

1. Drop the squeakie toy or ball on their foot - repeatedly. This works best if the item is of a heavier nature.

2. Take squeakie toy or ball in mouth and rub on the human's arm, leg, or face - whichever is closest. Works best if item is wet and slimey.

3. If human is asleep (especially on the couch), take squeakie toy or ball, and silently line them up, one at a time, right by their face. Do this until a wall of squeakie toys welcomes them once they wake up, refreshed, and ready to play with you.

4. Be cute. Nudge the squeakie toy or ball with your nose... and then pounce on it. They'll be, like, 'Awwwwww!!! How cute!!!' - and then they'll throw it for you. Suckas.

Dear Daisy,

Soooooo...the other day, I fell off Mom's bed. Mom got REALLY upset (she still is kind of upset) but really, all that got hurt was my pride. Luckily, Mom's housekeeping skills are really inept so a pile of dirty laundry broke my fall. Have you ever had any embarrassing accidents? You know your faithful would never tell! ;)

Love,
Maggs

P.S. Tell your peeps NOT to check out the SuperTarget dollar section of you don't want any humiliating headgear this Easter!

Dear Maggs,

We're so glad to hear you are uninjured! ;o) As for embarrassing accidents...? My peeps really racked their brains trying to think of embarrassing accidents, but couldn't recall any! Other than my episodes of projectile vomiting and busting an extra-large grumpy to bake right smack dab in the middle of the hot asphalt parking lot at Burger King two summers ago, I haven't been too accident prone. :o)

Not necessarily cos my momma's home (yay!) and she's $5 richer. Yeah, not much of a gambler, this one. We picked her up at 2:00 AM last night and good gawd, she smelled of airplane stank. It was fabulous! I couldn't quite detect all the scents on her, but I spent a great amount of time sniffing her head.

Today, I am one poopered pup. After staying up all night last night, then pretty much all day today since the peeps took the day off, my ears are hanging low and I can barely keep my eyes open.

Doggie Boot Camp


March 22nd 2007 1:21 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dearest Daisy,

Enquiring minds, with over-sized craniums, would like you to expand on Doggie Boot Camp. When Mom is not around here everything just falls apart. How does your Mom prevent that?

Mulli of the MidWest

--

Dear Mulli,

Doggie Boot Camp is eight hours of mental and physical training. Expect it to be rigorous and demanding. It's hard work. Then again, anything worth something usually is. From Doggie Boot Camp, you will emerge as a Doggie Lover in top mental and physical condition astounded by what you've accomplished so far and ready for the biggest reward of your life: taking care of ME!

Let's take a closer look.

1. Processing - once enrolled, you will be taught the right way to feed, play with, and maintain the doggie.

2. This is a confidence-building hour. As such, you'll be going through the confidence course - a course designed to simulate doggie situations that you could encounter in an emergency. Be sharp because your life and the life of your doggie depend on it.

3. Reality check: This hour, everything will be hands-on. You'll learn everything from playtime techniques to grooming procedures. All the real-world lessons you'll need to survive in the world of doggies.

4. Hazardous Waste disposal: heads up! If you've never scooped poop before -- you'll get your hands in a plastic bag *and* a pooper scooper. When you've proven you know how to properly use both, you'll graduate to the live-fire range. This is where it gets really interesting.

5. This hour is all about you. Where you want to go, what you want to do, and how fast you intend to get there. So you find the shortest distance between where you are and where you want to be. If you're feeling a sense of accomplishment for making it this far - good for you. That means that 180-degree-life-change your Recruiter told you would come - has come.

6. Household damage control and odor / stain fighting. Two of the most vital skills you'll need in the house. You'll learn to vacuum up the dog hairs, wash off doggie nose prints, clean up doggie vomit, and other necessary tasks. You know it now: You have what it takes. You are doggie material.

7. Battle Stations. Boot Camp's ultimate test. Here's an exercise of 12 different scenarios incorporating what you have learned during the previous hours. You will be graded on your ability to execute the required tasks. Successful completion nets you the ultimate reward - a doggie lovers ball cap. The cap that tells the world you're no longer a Recruit, but a full-fledged Doggie Lover.

8. Graduation in your dress uniform. Pass the mirror. Stop and stare. Recognize that person? You should. Stand tall. Walk proud. You are Doggie Lover. After today, your family and friends will envy you. Strangers on the street will thank you. Your Doggie family will always have your back. Savor this moment. Not everybody makes it; not everybody should.

Dear Daisy,

I hear you're quite the racing hound. I get tired just watching you from the window! Can you tell us a little bit about what makes your zoomies zoom?

Meatball

--

Dear Meatball,

Aw, I'll do a couple of laps around the house just for you! I do lots of different kinds of zoomies. Most of my zoomies are peep sanction and approved, but occasionally, a non-sanctioned zoomie sneaks out. Sorry peeps! Anyhow, here are the major types of zoomies...

1) School's Out Zoomies - This zoomie mainly occurs when Mommy or Daddy gets home. It generally goes like this: The door opens, and after a brief attempt to nard daddy / generally assault mommy, go pee pee, and then *ZoOOooOooMmmmm*!! I'm off to the back yard to run laps or romp around in the woods behind our house. When the peeps finally make it to the backyard, we play stick together!

2) Jungle Fever - I stand at the door making monkey noises, usually because there is something or someone who requires a thorough chasing. Once the door is half-open I become a yellow blur and dart outside.

2) Butt Zoomie - OK this one is reserved for *really* special occasions! Normally I only do this zoomie when I haven't seen my buddies Fran and Herb for a while, or maybe my Grandma and Grandpa. So basically while my front paws at a normal height from the ground, my back paws are in low ridah' mode! I tear around the house for at least a couple of minutes, running everywhere like a banshee, all the while my butt is mere inches away from the floor.

Ok, there are more zoomies, but Daddy said something about sharing some peanut butter pie with me... *sLuRp* So... I think we're done here for tonight!

Dear Daisy,

I've done something *really* bad. I think I'm falling in love with the cat that lives in our house! That swishy tail, those piercing green eyes.... What should I do???

Katrina Keeshound

--

Dear Katrina,

*Eeeep!* When you said you did something really bad, I thought you were going to say you double dipped at a party or something!

The first thing you need to realize is, this is not your fault! Cats' hypnotic powers are infamous. Millions of humans each year are hypnotized into allowing these walking hairballs to live with them. Cats even convince many humans that they actually love those little walking hairballs. *Blech* How disgusting!

Luckily, there is a way out! It is a well known fact that cats *hate* water. Tomorrow, when your peeps leave (they're under the cat's spell, remember?) turn on all the faucets in the house. Leave all the faucets running until said cat runs away and never comes back again. To be extra sure, turn the hose on outside and chase kitty around the house! Sure, the entire house will be flooded, but that's a small price to pay to get rid of one of those green-eyed devils! I'm sure your peeps will be so overjoyed at being released from the cat's spell, they'll barely even notice... Or not.

Dear Puppy,

Daddy does his best, but being a single pack leader is rough! When Daddy gets home I make sure to go outside and look around the car thoroughly to make sure Mommy isn't there. I also get really upset when Daddy has to leave unexpectedly. I start making monkey noises galore! Doesn't he know a princess requires her servants?! ;o)

On the upside, Daddy feeds me lots of snausages, which he NEVER does when Mommy is home. Also, the cat is upstairs alot less often so I get daddy all to myself! Oooh, and I get to sleep on the bed every night, cos Daddy is missing Mommy too. Come home soon Mommy, my scruffles need scratchin'!

Dear Sam,

It seems that my Mommy went out of town and forgot to bring me and Daddy!

*Oh Nose!!*

Ok, so me and Daddy are playing bachelor all the way until Friday. Not to worry though, I won't be eating any spaghetti-o's or twinkie recipes. Daddy has to go through doggie bootcamp that Mommy holds just before she leaves. Doggie bootcamp is there so he doesn't forget all the stuff a special dog like me needs!

Daddy doesn't play with me as much as Mommy does. He just sits and stares at computers all night, talking, and every once in a while, growling at them. I wonder what they talk about that make him so interested. I think he's looking for new twinkie recipes myself, but that's just a theory I need to sniff out later. While he doesn't play with me as much as Mommy, he also doesn't dress me up. So, all in all, I guess it is a wash.

I'll be sure and let you guys know if Daddy accidentally feeds me Beanie Weanies, instead of doggie food!

Dear Norm,

I know my peeps love me cos my daddy gives me discipline, and my momma is freaky over me. Let me count the ways:

Yo' momma's so freaky, she makes a special trip to the pet store when there's a sale for items she does not need. (Nature's Miracle - buy one, get one free - hey, that's a good deal!)

Yo' momma's so freaky, a the first hint of stench, you are given a bath. Consequently you are bathed, wiped down, or sprayed with grooming spray every three days.

Yo' momma's so freaky, when you sneeze, she wants to take you to the vet.

Yo' momma's so freaky, she'll buy every arfin' type of premium dog food available to keep you eating. Ahhh... variety is the spice of life!

Yo' momma's so freaky, she has a typed instructions with hand-drawn diagrams and / or screenshots detailing your feeding, medication, playtime, and publishing instructions for the Dogster diary and Blogger blog.

Speaking of which... my diary and blog may be hijacked by my daddy for the next week or so. Momma's jetting off to Vegas for a "conference" (so she says), and I'm left at home with geek-boy as my transcriptionist.

C'mon, mom! I *know* they have wireless internet access at Manadaly Bay. :P You *could* continue to update for me if you *really* wanted to. Better yet... take me with you. Please? Please? Pretty please with a doggie biscuit on top?

Momma and I are going to make a peanut butter pie for him, and then I'm going to get to lick the spoons! Yum!

We wanted to take him out for dinner somewhere nice, but he insists on going to Cook-Out (which is like a hamburger joint that you drive thru and does not even have any seating!!!). *sigh* I guess it is an upgrade from last year's birthday request... Burger King.

Don't worry daddy... momma will more than make up for your lack of taste on *her* birthday. I think we'll be going to the Twin City Chop House. ;o)

Dear Puppy,

You probably meant International Pi Day. How clever (and terribly geeky) of them to designate 3/14 as International Pi Day.

So to celebrate International Pi Day... I will list off some of the things I can do in 3.14 minutes:

- chase 9.7 sticks
- power nap and wake up ready to play
- buffalo the cat out of the way and eat all of the cat's food
- sniff out the perfect spot to bust a grumpy
- fetch and return 12.9 squeaky toys
- sit still for neck scratchies & ear scratchies
- eat a whole pie*

*Not that I've ever had the opportunity to eat a whole pie, but if I did, I bet I could do it in 3.14 minutes. Especially if it was apple pie. I imagine it would be delectable.

My momma got a new toy. It's a stink-finder. It finds invisible stank and stains. Mostly left by me.

Okay.

*ALL* of which have been left by me.

So this stink-finder is pretty cool... momma turned off all the lights and we went from room to room waving the blacklight across the carpeted areas.

With the stink-finder in one hand, and a bottle of Nature's Miracle in the other, we found a couple of big spots in the sunroom and a couple of small spots by the front door.

I felt like I was on CSI!

I think I should leave more spots for momma to find... you know, just so she feels like she got her money's worth on this stink-finder. ;o)

Here are some reasons:

- Can't stick their heads out of Windows XP
- Too difficult to "mark" every website they visit
- Nose and tongue prints mess up the monitor / laptop screen
- Can't help attacking the screen when they hear "You've Got Mail"
- Carpaw Tunnel Syndrome
- Static from the monitor causes their fur to completely cover the screen
- Scratch-n-Sniff hardware / software not available
- Drooling on the keyboard could cause serious electrical problems
- They prefer to play with a squirrel rather than a mouse

The Morning Ritual

[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Daisy,

Tell us about your morning routine! Mine is as follows:

First, the clock starts singing and Mom gets up and hits it. Then she comes back to the big bed and lays back down. We repeat this about 9 times. Then Mom finally gets up and looks at me and says, "okay, Sis, time to get up and go potty." My response is usually to streeeeeeeeeeetchhhhhhhh out on the bed and just stare at her. So she goes into the human potty and takes care of her own business. When she comes out she always says, "seriously, Maggs. Time to get up." This time, I yawn. And just look at her. So she gets dressed. Then she goes to the kitchen and gets her lunch from the fridge. And still, I lay stretched on the big bed. Finally, she comes back and says, "it is going to be a LONG day for you if you do not get up and go outside and potty RIGHT NOW." Then, and only then, do I finally get up, jump off the bed, and go to the door. Then I potty, then she leaves. I am DEFINITELY not a morning girl. But I'm cute. BOL!

2:00 AM - Poke momma with my snout. Gotta go pee

5:30 AM - Poke daddy. Time to wake up. Gotta go for walkies

5:35 AM - Alarm goes off. Snooze button. Poke daddy.

5:45 AM - Alarm goes off. Snooze button. Poke daddy.

6:05 AM - Alarm goes off. Daddy *finally* wakes up.

6:10 AM - Walkies. Pee, Poo, & Chase Cats (optional)

6:20 AM - Get back into bed.

7:50 AM - Last call. Pee or ceremonial squat.

8:00 AM - Momma leaves for work.

Finger Lickin' Good

Dear Daisy,

Mmmm... I love to lick my mommy and daddy (especially when they're stinky). What is the best height for lickins?

Sincerely,
Meatball

--

Dear Meaty,

The best height is when your peeps are lounging on the sofa. If they are laying supine on the sofa, this is the perfect height for face kisses.

If they are sitting up, you may prefer to lick their hands.

Don't follow my bad example in trying to give face kisses... the jumping, which leads to narding, which leads to... *ow*.

The skin of my peeps is the most fascinating, enticing flavor I can imagine, and I take every opportunity to savor it. So should you (with your own peeps, of course)!

Dear Daisy,

My parents are mad at me.... evidently I ate something I wasn't supposed to. What's the fuss all about??? They don't even know what it was (and I'm not tellin').

Sincerely,
Pupperoni

--

Dear Pupperoni,

I don't understand why they're so upset, especially since they didn't know what it was.

So you ate it. Big deal.

I bet it wasn't that good anyway (Or was it? You can tell me, I promise not to tell).

And it's not as if they were going to eat it.

As far as I'm concerned, if *they* aren't going to eat it, it's yours. :o)

Dear Daisy,

Squeaky toys scare me!!! When it squeaks, I want to run and hide. I think it wants to eat me! How do I make these squeaky monsters stop squeaking???

Warm regards,
Pugsqueek

--

Dear Pugsly,

You have to eat it. If you don't, the squeaking will never stop. If you eat it, it will never squeak again.

Bite it. Tear it. Chomp it. Destroy it.

Your peeps expect this of you... it actually makes them happy to keep buying them for you. At least, that's what I think. It would break their heart if you *don't* destroy it.

So, squeak on!

I love saying that... zazzle zazzle zazzle... it just tickles my tongue!

OMG, if you haven't ordered from Zazzle yet, now's a great time! They're selling their customized sheet of 20 stamps for $9.99.

I had considered purchasing some stamps from them when Dogster first partnered with them, but hey... I'm an unemployed doggie, where the heck was I gonna get that kinda money??

I don't get an allowance, and I'm sure they don't take payment in bones. But for 1/2 price... I can hock a few squeakie toys and eat cheap dog food for a couple of months. ;o)

They're having this great stamp sale until tomorrow - Friday, March 2nd!!! So be sure to order before midnight. :o)

Dear Norm,

I am at 99%!!! That's after all the get well wishes from my pup pals (especially Maggs' most excellent video!), three days of boiled chicken and rice, no pukings, and no excitement.

I'm back to being hard-headed and narding my daddy.

Oh! And did I mention my momma clipped my nails on me while I was sick?! Of all the nerve... of course I couldn't fight back, but that is *so* unfair taking advantage of my incapacitated state!

That's okay though - I got her back with all the dog vomit I spewed throughout the house. HA! Take that, momma!

Daisy

P.S. The only good thing that has come as a result of being sick is that I've gone four weeks with out a bath. WOooO! The stink exuding from my body is so bad, you can see the wavy stink lines emanating from me. The bad news is... I think it's bath time this weekend.

Dear Daddy,

No... I'm still working on it. It's slow going, you know? I've been sick and all. *cough* *cough*

Dear Daisy,

I heard you got a scolding yesterday... what'd you do??? Did you puke up on the carpet again?

Sincerely,
Stinky Pete

--

Dear Pete,

Noo... I don't get scolded for pee / poo / puke accidents cos they're never intentional.

I was caught red-pawed sleeping on the big bed. I was all curled up, cozy and warm, when I got rudely evicted!

I'm not allowed on there unless I'm invited (shyeah, right! You know I am *so* on the bed even as my momma's putting her shoes on to go to work).

The bed is a safe place. The bed calls softly to me. "Sleep on me," says the bed. The bed makes me feel as if I am with my peeps even when my peeps are gone. It smells like them. I like that smell. So I listen. I submit. There I will sleep the deepest sleep I can sleep.

Daisy

Dog Vomit


February 26th 2007 9:05 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Doggies,

In celebration of soiling the kitchen and hallway floors this morning by way of my out-of-stomach experience, I bring you the four types of dog vomit. It’s an oldie but a goodie. I don’t know the original source of this but it’s pretty well-known to dog lovers.

YELLOW URKA-GURKA
Dog runs around the house and hides under furniture while making a prolonged ‘uuuuurka-guuuuurka, uuurka-guurka’ noise. (This noise is the only thing guaranteed to wake up a true dog lover who is hung over from a post dog-show celebration at 3:30 a.m.) After mad scrambling to capture the dog and drag him outside, the episode ends with an inaudible ten yard slimy yellow froth from the living room rug to the back door.

BLAP DISEASE
Dog exercises hard and (a) eats large mouthfuls of snow (Winter Blap Disease) or (b) drinks a bucket of water (Summer Blap Disease). Within two minutes of returning inside, the dog spews out large amounts of clear slimy liquid while making a distinctive ‘blap’ sound and a sharp percussive noise as it hits the linoleum.

GARKS
Dog suddenly clears his throat with loud and dramatic ‘gggaark, gggark’ noises generally followed by prolonged ‘iiiksss’ and then loud satisfied smacking noises. There is nothing on the rug. Don’t investigate, you don’t want to know.

RALFS
Apropos of nothing, the dog strolls into the dining room and waits till the innocent dinner guests are all watching him. Then, with a single deep gut wrenching ‘raaaalff’ dislodges the entire weeks’ contents of his stomach on the dining room rug.

Variation: Then he eats it.

:o)

Dear Norm,

Ahhhh, there's nothing like a chilly Saturday morning and being snuggled up with my peeps on da bed. :o)

I had my daddy's arm wrapped around me and my momma giving me neck scitches... I was so happy I grunted.

My momma had never heard that noise come outta me before.

Groans, monkey noises, sighs, and yowls... but not grunties.

I'd twist my head this a-way and that a-way to make sure she scratched every single inch.

The more she scratched, the more I grunted. :o) Ahhhh... that's the spot.

Dear Daisy,

Wha'chu like best about your daddy? I loooooove the way my daddy tastes when I lick his face... all stinky and stuff. Yum.

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

Dear Norm,

I love the way my daddy tastes too! He's the funky tasting one out of the bunch. But what I like best about my daddy? He lets me give him kisses... RIGHT IN DA FACE!! Everything is fair game except the lips - those are reserved for momma.

My momma never lets me kiss her face... she always squeals and runs away. But daddy... oh daddy... I get to lick off every inch of funkitude on his face. I'm really good at it too.

Another really cool like I like about my daddy is that he's super geeky. Yow. I wrote a song about it. Here it goes (to the tune of Rick James' Super Freak):

That guy is pretty smart now
The boy's a super geek
The kind of boy you read about
In PC Magazine
That dood is pretty nerdy
The boy's a super geek
I really love to nard him
Every time we meet
He's all right, he's all right
That boy's all right with me, yeah
He's a super geek, super geek
He's super geeky, yow.

Thank you, daddy, for your super geeky ways... Top 10 babeeee!

Dear Doggies,

Just wanted to give a shout out to all my schweet pals (Maggie Mae, Cooper, Maggie May, Pongo, Rajah Q.) who sent me get well wishes... y'all are just AWESOME cos I am feeling better. What kinda voodoo did y'all put on me?? ;o) I'm not at 100% yet, but definitely an improvement over yesterday. :0)

My momma was so worried about me cos she's never ever seen me sick before in our entire three years together! She couldn't tell much from the symptoms aside from peeing inside the house (which is highly unusual for me) and sleeping a ton (more than normal).

I've created a Doggie Pain Scale indicator to help y'all tell your peeps when you're sick or in pain. :o)

Dear Daisy,

I heard you had some excitement yesterday! What happened???

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

Dear Norm,

I got to taste... er, I mean chase a cat! Oh, and I *may* have gotten a nibble in too.

My daddy and I had taken my momma out for lunch at her favorite Chinese restaurant. After dropping her off at work, we headed home... bellies full and leftovers of fried rice and a spring roll in a take-home box.

It was a nice sunny day, so my daddy decided to work on the truck. He put the leftovers out in the bed of the truck and walked inside to get his tools.

He *claims* he was only inside for a couple of minutes.

When he came out, a stray C-A-T had jumped into the back of the truck and was noshin' on our leftovers.

Daddy yelled.

I chased.

The cat ran.

I chased him up the stairs onto the neighbor's back porch.

He tumbled off the side of the stairs.

Then I chased him to the edge of the street and nipped his badonkadonk.

The cat went: RAaaarrrrRRRR!!!!!! and took off down the road.

Daddy was so proud of me!

We surveyed the damage: almost all the fried rice was gobbled up and half a spring roll was left.

After momma got home, I confirmed that it all happened just the way daddy told her it did... and that he really didn't eat up all the leftovers and blame the stray cat. ;o)

You mean the "good" fresh smell that comes after a baby's bottom is wiped clean and powdered, right?

It's been about a week since my last bath, but I've already started to smell Frito-y. My daddy wiped me down with baby wipes and that seemed to do a pretty good job which lasted for a couple of days.

I'll take the less traumatic wipe downs over baths any day! :o)

Okay pups, this is for all the non-US doggies out there!

Hey y'all - it's time time again! Please pmail me your address and I'll send in a self-addressed stamped envelope for you to Dogster HQ so they can send YOU some really cool Dogster stickers!

Stuff you can do with your Dogster stickers:
- stick 'em on the dogmobile
- wear 'em on your head
- give 'em to a doggie pal
- use 'em as a temporary bandage
- < your idea here >

Either way, it spreads the Dogster love around! :o)

Dear Pupperoni,

Just this morning, my daddy forbid my momma from getting me anymore toys. He says that everytime he steps his foot down, he hears a "eeeeeeeeugghhhh!!!!" cos I have squeakie toys splayed out everywhere, along with their respective latex bits and their fluffy un-stuffings. Plus momma just got me six new tennis balls yesterday, which are all over the house.

Momma said that maybe they could train me to put my toys away. Daddy just snorted cos daddy doesn't even put his toys away when he's done playing with them.

He says she can buy all the outfits she wants for me, but absolutely NO. MORE. TOYS. Outfits?! Noooooooo outfits! Me want toys! Grrrrrr!

Daddy is so mean.

He did say though... I am allowed to get my one free toy from PetSmart, but that is IT.

Dear Daisy,

Eeeep! I hate the vacuum... every time it comes out of the closet, I run and hide in my crate. How do you deal with this hideous beast?!?!

Sincerely,
Nibbler

--

Dear Nibbler,

Whenever the vacuum cleaner comes outta the closet... it is bad news. The vacuum wants to eat me and eat my bed and eat my toys! I know my momma *thinks* she's controlling the vacuum, but I think it's trying to eat her too. It keeps trying to shake free of her grasp.

I am not afraid of the vacuum, but I have to stick around and make sure it doesn't eat my momma. So I watch... and I wait. But if it comes too close to me, I have to retreat to a safe distance... but I'm still watching and waiting, you know... for my momma's sake.

The vacuum gives up after a while though. If it hasn't found anything to eat, it goes back into the closet and waits for another day to attack. I'll be ready.

Dear Maggie Mae,

Do I only get to pick one? Hmmm... that's gonna be tough!

My main squeeze is Finlay. Younger guys are so much easier to train. Plus he's so cute and fuzzy... in a long-legged, gangly sorta way.

I am also one of Dexter's lady friends - my name is on his heart! Does that make me an honorary floozy? W00T!

Then there's Nicholas, whose rockin' butt and bi-colored tongue are *so* hawt! When he reads his Canine Manifesto to me, I just swoon.

I, of course, have no chance at all with Quinn The Jackal (he's way too hawt for me), but a girl can always dream, can't she?

I've got a crush on Rajah Q. (who is like, da bomb, fo' shizzle), Cooper (who is the savior of jellyfish), and Elvis (who is anything *but* a hound dog - those ears just make my heart go a-flutter). I don't know if any of these hawt guys are taken, so I apologize in advance to their chicky-poos if I've got a crush on your boyfriend.

What do all my menz have in common? They've got brains in addition to their handsome good looks! :o) Don't believe me? Check out their diaries!

Dear Harry,

We all got worken up by Lucy... my next door neighbor.

Lucy barks like this: BaroOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoroorooroo!!!

Lucy *thinks* she's a sighthound, but she's more of a sniffhound.

Lucy doesn't like cats.

After 10 minutes of baroorooroo'ing, momma and I got up from our warm, snugglie bed and went to the front door to investigate. We thought that a cat must've been prowling the neighborhood (and if so, I *so* wanted to get in on the action too!).

We didn't see any cat. We didn't see anything remotely animal-like. We all scratched our heads (well, momma scratched mine for me... it felt sooooo good).

We looked in the direction where Lucy was baroo'ing at.

Wait...

Is that a...

...plastic grocery bag? Blowing in the wind? Caught in the fence? Behind the bush... ah HA!

Silly Lucy. I barked at her, trying to convey the fact that she was losing her voice barkin' at the big bad ol' plastic grocery bag, but it fell on deaf ears.

Whatev.

We're all going back to bed now. *sigh*

Dear Daisy,

How can I get the ball away from Zoe? She hates to share. Is there a constructive approach I can use?

Nicholas

--

Dear Nicholas,

You must offer something Zoe would value highly in exchange for the ball... can you by any chance secure a Bamboo Lemur to trade off with her? I bet she would love one for her collection!

If not, then go the King Solomon route... threaten to cut the ball in half. Hopefully she'll choke and beg you not to and allow you to keep the ball. And well... if she says to chop it up... at least you get half of the ball? :o)

The Elusive Poo

Dear Daisy,

Gawwwwd it's cold out here. I hate having to go outside in the bitter cold to pee... but what's a doggie to do??

Sincerely,
Pupperoni

--

Dear Pupperoni,

I'm with you! The cold pinches and pains my dainty princess paws! *whine* And although the air is fresh, crisp, and clean... I can't sniff out any good spots to dump on.

So I prance.

And I sniff.

But my poo doesn't wanna make its appearance into the cold, cold world.

It reminds me of a poem recited by Sir Percy from The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy:

They seek him here
They seek him there
They seek the poopy everywhere...

Is it in heaven?
Or is it in hell?

That demmed elusive Pooper-nel.

The Zen of Poopy

Filling in today is guest auteur... daddy!

--

Dear Daisy,

Word on the street is that you've been seen grazing like a cow. What gives?

Warmest Regards,
Poopy

--

Dear Poopy,

It is true that while I find myself grazing lately, it isn't to chow down on mother nature's all-you-can-eat salad bar like some common cow. No, I have recently become a poopy perfectionist. While my nose is on the ground and my tail in the air, I am in fact, in search of the perfect poopy spot. Like a surfer always on the lookout for the perfect wave, I too seek the zen of the perfect poop.

It drives my peeps crazy, as I search for the elusive perfect poopy spot.

*snif* *snif* I look at mommy.
"That one has a big stick nearby. That's no good."

I wander around a bit... *snif* *snif*
"That one is too grassy. It would tickle my bum."

I search onward... *snif* *snif*
"That one doesn't have enough grass. There isn't enough greenery to properly set off my poop art."

My nose returns earthward... *snif* snif*
"That one is too wet. I might be bum splashed when my download finished!"

Mommy and Daddy begin to look impatient...

Do not rush the artist, my poopies are not to be dispatched prematurely or wantonly.

*snif* snif*
"That spot is too dry... Some dust or bits might fly up and stick to my bum!"

I prowl around like a wolf on the hunt... *snif* *snif*
"What's this?? Could it be? Nooo... the moss is growing on the wrong side of the tree next to me. That's not right."

Mommy and Daddy are freezing like pupscicles! Sorry peeps, perfection takes time! We all must make sacrifices for our art.

*snif* *snif*
"I think a bird was here recently. I don't want people thinking that I associate with those things. They're not even allowed to land in the yard." *humpf*

Mommy and Daddy are not amused. They seem to be tapping their feet

*Soooorry* Mommy and Daddy!!!

The search continues for a fitting location for my newest performance art piece.

*snif* *snif*
"Wait a minute! Could it be? The color and contrast is good... Just the right amount of clover!"

I turn around in the spot a couple of times to test for proper soil consistency and firmness.

"Yes, yes, so far so good. My paws sink in just enough for a comfy fit."

I look up, the clouds part and a ray of sunshine hits the spot I've been eyeing. Is that a choir of angels I hear? Now is my chance!

I perform the curly-q spirograph poopy, while a shaft of light shines where my proud new grumpy now gleams.

I look up at Mommy and Daddy.

"See Mommy and Daddy, wasn't that spiritual moment worth all the wait???"

Their teeth chatter in reply...

Some people just don't appreciate art in its truest form.

Warmest Regards,
Daisy

Cheese vs. Fromage


February 4th 2007 11:17 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Daisy,

I will eat any type of cheese and it all tastes good to me... is there really that much of a difference between all cheeses? It all goes in one hole and out the other.

Warm regards,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

Well, there is cheese. And there is cheese, a la fromage. The latter being the ultra smelly, overdramatic, excessively emotional or clichéd acting of Jean Claude Van Damme in Bloodsport.

Yes, doggies. I was forced to watch this cheesefest of roundhouse kicks, puppy-faced emoting, and our hero wearing a big, shoulder-padded, yellow blazer. Oh, and he did his "signature" splits a total of seven times. We counted.

So you see, not all cheese is the same. Most cheese is great and should be shared with all. Fromage, such as this, is better savored in small doses in the privacy of your own home.

Dear Puppy,

No need to be snarky. :P

If you must know, I've been in training. The cat's been helping me train for competitive eating.

Yesterday, I ate two whole cups of food... in one sitting.

Today, I went back for seconds... then thirds. Then the cat came near my food, and I had to chow down some more.

I've still got my ultra-long supermodel legs, but I'm starting to lose my gaunt, ethiopian hound look. I'm actually lookin' pretty good cos I'm finally gettin' some meats on my bones! :o)

I'm gonna hit 25 lbs... or bust! (And bust I will... I sure hope my sticks can support the weight).

Dear Turd,

I had a fabulous birthday! My peeps stayed home with me all day, I got to eat cheese, I got a bone-shaped cake (made out of meats, iced with yogurt!), I slept and snuggled up under the fleecy blankets and leaned right up against my peeps. It was heavenly.

Thank you so much for all the pups (Izzy, Maggie Mae, Quinn & Brandy & Hobo, Mingus, Rajah Q, Kayla, Snowy, Cooper, Lyle, Sugar Danielle, Chester, Kelpie, Sailor, Spot, and Elvis) who sent me stars, rosettes, and birthday pmail wishes!!! :o) Y'all are the schweetest for helping me celebrate my peep-designated birthday.

I also got a singing chicken-gram! He squaked his way through the Happy Birthday song... I had never heard a chicken sing before. It was quite an event. I promptly chomped his beak off to celebrate.

Ahhh... and now to rest up for the weekend. :o)

Dear Norm,

Yay me! I had made some birthday wishes a few weeks ago, and Mother Nature sure came through in the form of snow and ice... thus giving my peeps a whole day to spend with ME! On my birthday! WOoOooT!

I know, it's only one day... but I'm doing a snow dance for tomorrow as well, which would give us super duper long weekend! :o)

Daisy

P.S. Since my peeps don't know *exactly* when my birthday is, February 1st is the designated day of celebration... but since exact date is unknown, I say the whole month of February is up for celebration!!!

Warm regards,

Dear Harry,

I would invite Albert Einstein over for dinner. I hope he likes cheese and canned dog food... he doesn't look like he's a picky eater.

Why Albert Einstein? Well... I think he would find me a dazzling dinner companion. And plus I think he would welcome doggie kisses (and he looks like he would taste nice and funky).

Dear Daisy,

You've mentioned that you have a cat several times but I don't see the cat listed as part of your family! No Catster page?

My cat has her own page. She fussed about it till she got one. You know, furballs and such.

Please advise!

Dear Maggie Mae,

Heavens no... no page for that... that... cat. *putooey* Who wants to keep up with his daily kills and gift-vomits he leaves for all to step on?

No... the cat, shall remain silent cos I hear enough of his yowls on a daily basis. But, I will ask daddy if he wants the cat to have his own Catster page (cos momma sure ain't gonna do it), but I fear all you would hear would be crickets chirping and then, you'd see an occasional tumbleweed blow by... ;o)

Dear Daisy,

Do your Peeps ever share their food with you? I'm allowed to eat veggies and fruits that are on the dog-approved list, sometimes meats, and every once in a great while,...Cheetohs. :D How about you?

Maggs

P.S. Dog, that car wash thing sounds AWFUL. Mom says she's gonna have to try it. MEAN!

--

Dear Maggs,

OMG... do not let your momma take you through a car wash. That would be totally not cool.

My peeps give me apples every once in a while... I love apples! They share cheeses and yogurts with me too... well, that's not entirely true. I have my own stash of cheese and yogurt that is labelled for Daisy consumption (sometimes I have to even share it with the cat - oh, the nerve!!).

What they don't share, I sneak by way of hoovering around their eating area. I've gotten schnibbles of popcorn, Doritos, and other snacky delicacies.

Oh, and I absolutely *love* taco night... cos my daddy always drops cheese and meat bits when he eats tacos. And me? I am *so* there... right by his side. :o)

Dear Dogster HQ,

It's almost Valentine's Day... will new rosettes be revealed soon? If so, how many? And when? And what will they look like? :o) Curious doggies wanna know. Hee hee!

Hmm, so what would make really great valentines rosettes?

Hearts?

Kissy lips?

Cupid?

Chocolates?

Kissy lips would have to be changed to a kissy tongue since us doggies love to slobber over our loved ones. And chocolates are toxic to doggies, so I guess those are out... unless they're made of carob?

How 'bout a carob flavored pupcake with cream cheese icing on top? Hmmm, how 'bout making me one of these for my woofday, momma?? :o)

Dear Norm,

I gots me some pancakes. Buttermilk pancakes. Homemade, from scratch, buttermilk pancakes. They were goooooooood. *drool*

Now I gotta tell ya, they haven't always tasted this good. Why... just last week, my momma botched the recipe and we ended up with super-gooey pancakes. Although not suitable for human consumption... they were entirely edible for doggies.

Who's a doggie? Who wants a pancake? Me! Me! Ooh, let it be me? :o)

So I got me a soggy pancake - a whole one, all to myself! Yum!

This week's batch of pancakes tasted much better. But since they weren't gooey, I only got a nibble.

Momma, please screw up some more recipes so that I may reap the fruits of your failures? :o)

Dear Daisy,

Whacha doing up so early on a Saturday morning? I heard you got to go on a car ride today... where'd ya go?

Sincerely,
Leaping Larry

--

Dear Larry,

OMG, we went on a car ride... yes. But, it was... to... the... V-E-T!! *groan*

Don't get me wrong, I love going to my vet's office cos everyone pays me LOTS of attention and says what a pretty doggie I am, and how sweet I am, and how cute I am (and it's all true, you know, cos the people who work at my vet's office are so very awesome).

We arrived in the parking lot a little before 9:00 AM, I got on the leash and I pranced into the lobby of the vet's office. Ta DA! I'm HEEEEEERE! It's me! Daisy! Pet me! Love me!

The nice lady at the reception area gushed at my cuteness. She has some greyhounds too and invited me over to run with them! Then she came out and pet me! Oooh... I gave her kisses too.

Then our nice vet tech came out and I got weighed on the scale. I was 23.7 lbs! WOo hoO! That's a 1.5 lbs since last year! I got to give her some kisses before we went into the examining room.

Once inside the examining room, she checked my heart, breathing, and temperature (the nice way). I was thinking to myself, hey... this isn't too bad, I can handle... what the #$&^#*@!?

I got poked...

...in the badonkadonk. My rumpus. My hiney. My tushie. My poopshoot! Oh the indignity.

By the time I looked around, it was over.

Oh, but it wasn't over.

They brought in the big guns this time. My vet! He came in and checked me over - eyes, ears, nose, etc. I got poked a couple of times with needles, and I didn't like that, but I was a good girl and didn't snarl anyone, even though I really wanted to.

Oh, other than getting poked in the hinder, they got the other end too! They sprayed some concoction up up my noser too. Double barrel'd! *sigh*

My poopy report came back negative for wormies. And my bloodwork came back negative for heartworm. My vet gave me an A+! He gave me some treats. All was forgiven.

We went back out to the reception area and there were some people out there *and* a CAT! Oooh, I made monkey noises galore, but my peeps wouldn't let me go sniff it out. I got some more lovins from another vet tech *and* the cat lady. Hee hee! I was lappin' it all up.

Then a couple more doggies came in, and I was dying to go meet and greet, but my peeps kept me in my sit/stay position. *sigh*

We finally left the vet's office, my daddy's wallet a little lighter, but hey... I'm totally worth it, right? Yeah. My peeps think so. :o)

We went to the park afterwards, and I got to run around and sniff geese poopies! My daddy and I played stick a bunch and basically I ran around like a wild woman.

*yawn* And now it's nappy time. That's way too much excitement for one doggie on an early Saturday morning. Luckily it's just once a year.

Dear Pete,

My peeps took me through a car wash last night. At first, I thought *I* was going to be washed through the car wash, but that was just extreme paranoia on my part.

I was okay with the foamies being sprayed on the car. The foamies were nice and quiet as they splattered against the glass and metal.

But then the high powered water pressure sprayer came around to rinse... OMG! *hide* That monster encircled the car THREE times! I had to dodge around on the backseat of the car everytime it came close to me. There was no place to hide!

Finally, it was over... the car was clean, I didn't soil the backseat, and my daddy got his $5 worth of entertainment out of the whole ordeal... he even shush'd my momma when she tried asking him a question cos he was too enraptured with the lazer wash and didn't want to be disturbed. :P He said she was 'talking through the show'. Uh huh. You're a dork, daddy. ;o)

Dear Daisy,

I know you love sleepin' with your peeps... but when you're not allowed on the big bed, where is your second favorite place to sleep?

Warm regards,
Pupperoni

--

Dear Pupperoni,

I love my doggie beds... they're all over the place, so wherever the peeps are, I follow them into the same room and lay on my doggie bed there.

BUT!

There are certain conditions that must be in place for me to sleep on my doggie bed.

Firstly, it must be flat.

I hate it when it gets all plumped up and cushy. I've worked hard to get it flattened down and engraved with my ass groove.

Secondly, it must be smellies.

And not the good smellies that my momma likes either. NOo... I don't want my linens freshly laundered smelling like a tropical ray of sunshine or a snuggle bear. I like my stench. Let me wallow in it.

And thirdly, it must be free of blankets, toys, or other foreign objects.

I'm like the princess and the pea. Except the pea is a squeakie toy. Or bone. And well... yes, I put it there myself, but momma... you're the one with opposable thumbs - please move it out of the way for me. :o)

But yes, I do love my doggie beds. They haven't had a laundering in a while, so they're good and smellies. Just the way I likes 'em!

I love me some neck scratchies, especially around and under my collar. It's hard for me to scratch this area myself... but when my momma scratches this area, I am in heaven! I often stretch my neck up or tilt it to one side to give her better access.

Petting, massaging or stroking doggies has been proven to have a beneficial effect on the blood pressure of humans. So as well as being pleasurable for us doggies, it's good for your peeps too! So toss out the Diovan and adopt a doggie to pet and love-on today! :o)

Dear Harry,

Hrmm... I think I got this cut on my head from chasing that rabbit the other night. I was minding my own business, out for a midnight pee... when all of a sudden I saw a flash of movement out of the corner of my eye. The chase was on!!! There was a wascally wabbit in our yard and it had to be eliminated!

My daddy didn't know what got into me... just that I took off running, but then he figured it out when he saw the rabbit scampering full force across the neighbor's lawn in his attempt to escape my jaws.

Momma only saw my boo-boo the other night and freaked out! Sheeeesh, mom!! It's just a small cut. She was giving me head scritchies when she felt a scab on my head... upon closer examination, she saw that it was bleeding. OMG. She almost fainted. Whatta wimp! Momma's freaky that way. I'm a doggie, mom! I'm prone to get into smellies and ouchies. :o) Chill!

And then I gnawed some more.

The raw meats brought out the wild hound in me... I went absolutely crazeeeee playing with my squeakies. Everytime a squeakie was thrown, I would pounce on it and give it a ferocious death-shake before it had to be torn from my jaws.

Dear Norm,

My daddy brought home this really smelly (in a good way, I think) food the other night. The moment he walked in the door, I jumped up to try and give him his usual kiss on the lips, but the bag in his hand distracted me with its strange smell. He called it "tie food" - whaaaa..?!?! Oh... OH! *Thai* food. Hee hee! Thanks for clearing that up, momma. :o)

Then he started bringing out all these take-out boxes from the bag and ohhhhhh babee! It smelled good! There was some masaman curry, some pad thai, some sticky rice... yummers!! I was a-droolin' and a-smackin' my lips. I could even hear the cat downstairs yowlin' for a bite.

But did I get any of this wonderfully smelly food???? NOoo! I got my *regular* food in my *regular* bowl in my *regular* spot.

I tried to get a good lick or two in on daddy's face when he reached down to pet me, but all I got was a good whiff of the smellies they were eating.

Daddy spoils momma with yummy Thai food and all I get is kibble?? SO unfair! *pout* Hrmph! You know I'll give anything smelly a go... I'm not picky. If it's smelly, I should get my fair share, don't you think?

Lucy, my next door doggie pal, got a new doggie sister. We think Oreo is her name, but we can't be sure since we never see her much outside... she is a JRT mix. She's pretty cute, but a dang li'l barky thang though.

One time, she had the gall to bark at me in her little yippy bark... and she wasn't even outside. Boy-oh-boy!! It made me mad, it made me mean mad... until I was one big ball of mean mad meaness! My hacklies went up in full effect. I barked my big doggie bark. Then I strutted up and down the grassy area by the fence that separates our two properties. I was doing *serious* patrolling and securing of the perimeter.

RIP Mario Ball

Dear Gail,

Thank you so much for the Mario Ball from your Happy Meal. I re-discovered it, wholly intact, beneath the dresser back in December while Jason was moving the furniture around in order to paint the walls.

Mario Ball has provided many days, nay... weeks of utter chewing pleasure. I am happy to report that Mario Ball spent most of the holiday season as the sole object of my affection.

At first, I chewed his nose off. Then, it was the rest of his face, until he was half a shell of the ball he used to be.

Eventually, his end came as itty bitty red vinyl scraps were found splayed throughout the bedroom, hallway, kitchen, and sunroom floors.

Alas, his demise is a sad and painful one, but he was thoroughly enjoyed in life. Mario Ball will be missed. May his many bits rest in peace.

Dear Daisy,

Being two weeks into the new year, I have already broken 3 out of 5 new year resolutions. Did you make any new year resolutions? Did ya keep 'em so far?

Warm regards,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

My resolutions for the new year include:

- Eat more
- Annoy the cat less
- Nard less doods

I got weighed last week, and I have reached 23 lbs! Now just to keep it on...

The cat thing? Well, it doesn't *seem* like he minds when I sniff his butt...

The jumping and narding and the *ouch* bend over thing? I haven't narded anyone yet this year... but it's only January. :o)

Dear Daisy,

Awwww, sorry to hear you're headed for the tub... how did it go? Did you throw a tantrum? Did you kick up a fit? I definitely would have!

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

Dear Norm,

Gah! Well, all I can say is that I'm glad it's over.

I got scubbed from head to tail to each of my little toes.

Rinsed with the new shower-cleaning-attachment-apparatus-thingy.

Dried with my big ol' towel.

I smell like flowers.

But...

I got treats...

and treats...

and more treats!

Keep it comin', momma! :o)

Dear Daisy,

Brrrrrr! Winter is finally upon us... after all those great days of warmth and sunshine, the bitter cold has arrived. How do you keep warm at night??

Sincerely,
Pupperoni

--

Dear Pupperoni,

Brrrr is RIGHT! I have fleecey blankets I sleep on, and when I'm inclined to, I will allow my peeps to roll me up - doggie burrito style, with just my snout pokin' out - in the fleecey blankets.

But my favorite way to stay warm is to sleep between my peeps on da bed. When that doesn't happen, I go *under* the bed. My peeps don't like me doin' that, but what can they do? Oh right... put me *on* the bed then, peeps!!

Oh, and yes, I smell a bath coming on... tonight. *sigh*

But it's not all bad... I will definitely get to be on the bed tonight. :o)

After Christmas Sales


January 11th 2007 12:53 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Daisy,

Don't you think the period after Christmas is better than the before Christmas part?? I mean, I know the Christmas photo sessions and all are painful, but after Christmas... it's smooth sailing until February (when Valentine's Day hits).

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

--

Dear Puppy,

I'm not sure after Christmas is necessarily better than before Christmas cos of the 50% off sales. True, there are lots of treats and toys at 50% off to be had, but does my momma buy those items? Noooo! She buys sweaters. And at 50% off, that means twice the amount of sweater buying. *sigh*

I'll post pics later... for now, I am going to take those sweaters, chew 'em up, and hide under the bed.

Dear Harry,

I love it that I am able to keep a history of my day to day antics! I know I must live a pretty boring life sometimes, but momma finds it entertaining to record every little (embarrassing) thing about me. *groan* She figures that one day I'll be gone... and she'll have something to look back on to give her warm fuzzies. :o)

I love reading other doggie's diaries too! It's so cool to get a peek into other doggie's (more interesting) lives. ;o)

My diary is the story of my life.

Dear Daisy,

I went dumpster divin' last night and got caught red-pawed! *sigh* Have you ever been caught doing something you're not supposed to be doing?

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

Dear Norm,

I've been caught sleeping on the big bed when no one's home. Sleeping in the nice, big, cushy, pillow-topped bed the peeps sleep on is *way* better than sleeping on my nice, big, cushy, pillowy bed on the floor.

How'd I get caught? No, it wasn't the doggie cam that tipped 'em off. Nor was it the snitchy cat. It was almost the perfect crime, but I got sloppy.

So... Momma noticed how good I smelled last night.

It's been about a week and a half since my bath, but with the freakishly warm weather, I've been running around outside, kicking up mud, dirt, and all kinds of nasties.

Momma takes a closer sniff at me.

Hmmm... she looks puzzled.

I just give her an innocent doggie smile.

Momma takes another big whiff off the top of my head.

Ahhh HA! She notices that I smell like... like... Febreeze!

(Momma has taken to Febreezin' the bed every morning).

Drat! I've been caught!

But hey, I'll take the Febreezin' any day over a full blown bath! :o)

Dear Daisy,

I loves me some cheeeeeese! :o) Do you have a favorite kind?

Sincerely,
Blinkie

--

Dear Blinkie,

Mmmm, cheeese! *drool* I love all kinds of cheese - all the kinds I've tried so far, that is. Plain ol' cheddar is always good... and the smokey gouda makes me so crazy, I'll go through my entire repertoire of tricks without being asked to do so. Hee hee!

I hate having to eat my cheese when the cat is around though... cos he might steal my cheesey bits, so I tend to gobble them up without chewing on them. I prefer to nibble on the cheese and let the flavor explode on my tastebuds, but with that darned cat around, I cannot afford to savor my cheese. :o(

But! I do get cheese (and peanut butter) in my Kong in the mornings, so I am left to enjoy these goodies at my leisure. :o)

Dear Daisy,

I am a spunky li'l pup... and my mommie is concerned that I will never calm down. Do you have any advice for her?

Sincerely,
Meatie

--

Dear Meatie,

Tell your momma to relax... spazzy pups do indeed get calmer as they get older. Just take a look at me! ;o) My momma couldn't get me to stay calmly beside her on the couch cos I could not sit still for one second - I either had to be playing or running or chewing on something. Plus I have always been a bit of an independent pup... wanting to sleep on my own bed and have my own space.

She loves it now that the older I get, the more of a love hound I've become. I will snuggle with her for as long as she'll let me. In fact, I'm the one who gets cranky if she moves too much or gets up from the couch. ;o) Hee hee!

What I missed most??? Definitely her ability to give me the most awesomest neck scratchies evah. Daddy tried to give me neck scratchies, but the fingers on his man-hands were just too big! Momma has the ability to make me grin when she gives me neck scratchies... from the side, you can actually see the corners of my mouth actually tip up into a smile! I love your clever, clever fingers, momma! :o) Now scratch me scruffles some more, please! :o)

There were two little redneck kids loitering in our neighbors yard, so I let out my big doggie bark: WROOOOOOF!

And the hackles went up.

And the ears went up.

Dear Maggs,

Yay! Momma's back - safe and sound! My inner monkey was unleashed when I saw her walking towards the car at the airport. I made monkey noises galore! And then, I was so wrapped up in the excitement, I paused... unsure of what to do with myself... then I threw in a big ol' excited bark too!

Daddy says he's never heard monkeying of that kind before. :o)

I got to lick her a bit... the airport stench on her was tastieeee!

Gotta go... gonna lick her some more!

My last bath of 2006


December 31st 2006 12:22 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Momma & Daisy,

I bought something for you and hound today at Home Depot. I just saw it when looking for other stuff. So there is a little two way valve that sits between the shower head and the pipe that the shower head screws in to. So there is a place for the water to go to the shower head and another hookup and... it has host thingie that hooks up to it... and a little power nozzle like what you see on a sink. It is supposed to be for washing shower walls, but I thought it would be great for giving the hound a bath. She hates having the cup poured on her.

Daddy

--

Dear Daddy,

You call that a GIFT?! :P Either way, it still means bath time regardless of whether the water comes outta the shower or outta the bucket. Ugh!

So of course I got a bath before we went to get momma at the airport. Whatta way to ring in the new year! *sigh*

Dear Darren,

Daddy has been busy renovating the bathrooms - replacing vanities and mirrors... and painting. Oh my dog, all the paint fumes are making us a little loopy here, but it's all good. The bathroom walls look great, and our hallway is starting to look less old-ladyish cos daddy covered up all those nasty yellow fleur-de-lis patterns the previous owner *hand-painted* on the walls. Dude, *so* not cool.

I've been busy supervising daddy and making sure he's doing a good job. I've also had to keep an eye on Uncle Dick when he comes over to help. I have to make sure he gets enough kisses and licks when he takes his break.

I am one poopered puppy, I tell ya! I can't wait to see momma's face when she sees all the awesome work daddy's done. :o)

Dear Daisy,

Woo hoo! I heard you made a daring escape yesterday! What the heck happened?

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

Dear Norm,

Well, it wasn't *that* daring... my daddy opened the door and I ran out to the backyard to bust a grumpy. I noticed that daddy didn't follow me out, so being the smart doggie that I am, I knew I had free rein of my destiny for the next 10 minutes!

I heard my daddy whistling for me, but I paid no heed. I ran into the woods, and I was fast on the trail of something smelly... sniffing and snorting and snuffling with a vengeance.

Then, I *think* heard my daddy calling me with his stern voice, but I can't be sure cos the jingle of the tags on my collar drowned out that sound.

Still snuffling and snorting, I gallopped all throughout the woods.

Ut oh, what's that? I heard my daddy whistling for me, so I made some last minute sniffings and started to head back.

My daddy could hear faint jinglies in the forest, but he still couldn't see me. Eventually, he said that the jinglies got louder and finally he saw a small, but fast moving yellow dart rocketing through the forest.

I ran up to my daddy, plopped my butt down on the ground, my chest all puffed out, my eyes electrified, one ear floppin' down, and grinned madly at him.

The weather's been so freakin' warm, it's almost like I've got spring fever! :o)

Sincerely,

Dear Harry,

Santa left some gingerbread mailmen and gingerbread cats in my Christmas stocking as well as some carob cookies and some puppy snack mix.

I sniff a couple of sweaters in the boxes momma sent in the mail, but luckily the torturous event of being fitted will have to wait until she gets back.

Poor daddy though... he had a pretty rough Christmas. With momma being gone and all, he also didn't get very many gifts this year. :o( The redneck brother & wife, after ripping into their mountain of Christmas presents, wrote him a check for $25. Gee, thanks! I appreciate the thought and effort that went into your gift. :P

That's okay though, I heard that Santy Paws left some nastee poo-shaped coals in their stockings this year. ;o)

Dear Puppy,

Tee hee! I can't help it. Momma's not around and I don't feel like behavin'. :P

Last night, I refused to bust a grumpy when my daddy let me out. I just kinda stood out on the front porch steps, looked around, and sniffed for momma.

So back in I went.

Three revolving door attempts later and daintily picking my way through the backyard, I executed a class one download.

Daddy was frustrated with me.

Sorry, daddy! But you know, when I'm upset, my poo gets upset too and it doesn't always feel like making an appearance, I guess.

Awww, thanks for your concern! I am doing okay with just daddy around. He's really busy taking care of everything that my momma did, so he doesn't have time to play with me as much as momma, but I'm managing. I guess. *sigh*

On the bright side, daddy's sniffer's broken, so I am parading around with amazing doggie stench! :o) It's pretty awesome cos momma's not here to sniff me out with her super-sensitive olfactory nerves. Seriously. She could sniff me out even if I were two rooms away.

Dear Puppy,

Thanks for the compliment! :o) My momma finds a lot of good deals at Target's dollar bin (usually at the front of the store). Although, not all items are necessarily $1, it's not bad at $2.50 either. Definitely check out this section as holidays roll around cos there is usually dog stuff to be found. Shop early though - stuff gets picked through really quickly!

The doggie section at the back of Target is pretty good at keeping up with the seasonal trends. I've seen clothing there for Valentines, Easter, Halloween, and Christmas usually in the $10-$20 range. They also have seasonal toys too!! I have tried to convince my momma to get the toys only, but does she listen? Nooooo!

My momma is also an online shopaholic. Free shipping? OMG, this woman will buy anything as long as there's free shipping. *sigh* She'll also make do with a $5 flat rate shipping too... her obsession with purchasing all things cute+doggie is a nasty, nasty habit. Get some help, momma!

Evolution of Doggie Rules


December 16th 2006 10:19 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Daisy,

I heard you get to sleep under the covers ON the bed WITH your peeps. Is this true? If so, how do I wrangle my way into such a situation?

Warm regards,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

My peeps had these doggie rules:

1. Daisy is not allowed in the house

2. Okay, Daisy is allowed in the house, but only in certain rooms

3. Daisy is allowed in all rooms, but has to stay off the furniture

4. Daisy can get on the old furniture only

5. Fine, Daisy is allowed on all the furniture, but is not allowed to sleep with the peeps on the bed

6. Okay, Daisy is allowed on the bed, but only by invitation

7. Daisy can sleep on the bed whenever she wants, but not under the covers.

8. Daisy can sleep under the covers by invitation only

9. Daisy can sleep under the covers every night

10. Peeps must ask permission to sleep under the covers with Daisy

... other than the last rule, the rest didn't last too long. Just be persistent and sweet. Most peeps are suckas for their doggies. :o)

Dear Momma,

Please come home soon. Daddy keeps bringing that horrid Howie cat upstairs, and last night I was forced to snuggle with him in *my* fleece covered doggie bed. :o( Okay, so it was much warmer with him snuggled up beside me... and he is soft and squishy... and he does provide really good lumbar support... and he did spend the entire day outside so he had a really good stench going on... but it's *my* bed!

Dear Teenie,

I dunno. I'm just a cranky b!tch when my momma's not around. Daddy says I am being more protective of my turf - everytime another doggie barks or someone is out in the cul-de-sac talking, I go crazy barkin' at them. Grrrr!

In addition to being cranky, I've become really clingy to daddy too. Wherever he goes, I must go also... who knows if he is going to disappear like momma too??? Eep! He'd better not! WRoooF!

Dear Daisy,

I love to get up on my human's lap, although being a 80 lb lap dog doesn't necessarily work very well. Anyhoo, how do you signal to your peeps that you want up on their laps or on the couch or on the bed?

Sincerely,
Bully Jones

--

Dear Bully,

I am a very polite doggie... so I lay my head up on the edge of the couch or on the side of the bed and give them my sad doggie look. It doesn't matter how long it takes, cos I am one persistent pup! If that doesn't work, I will offset the sad puppy dog look with nose pokings. A wet snout poking them will at least get their attention. Then I will lay my head back on the edge until they let me up... and the suckas that they are, they always do my bidding. :o)

I have to settle for daddy playing squeaky toys with me, daddy learning my eating schedule, daddy remember to give me yogurt and cheese and treats and syn-flex and vitamins, daddy giving me neck scratchies and bum scratchies and leg massages, and daddy to update my Dogster page with pics and funny anecdotes.

I must say, he's doing a pretty good job though. :o) But who's gonna take care of daddy?? Poor daddy.

We drove down to Charlotte at o'dark-thirty this morning. They put the doggie seatbelt on me.... grrrr! It was on one sec, then off the next! :o) I'm pretty good at being a houndini.

When we got to the airport, I was taken for a quick walk and put back in the car while my peeps struggled to removed all these huge suitcases out of our two door hatchback.

Then momma and daddy left, but only daddy came back! :o(

Oh man! I was UPSET! I made incosolable monkey noises until we got outta the parking deck. Then my daddy took me out and I busted a mule-sized grumpy. Ahhh! I felt a little bit better, but not much cos momma was still missing. *sigh*

Baroooo! Ruuuuuuff! RUFFFFFF!! Grrrr... I hate doorbells too! The UPS delivery guy doesn't even bother ringing the doorbell anymore - he just leaves the packages at the door and runs.

My peeps are hermits, so no one is welcome to our house. Ever. We always go over to other peeps' houses! It's way more fun that way cos I totally get to misbehave: beg for food, eat out of the trash, hoover around the kitchen floor, lick the dirty dishes in the open dishwasher... it's all good!

I always wondered what happened during that year they spent on New Caprica... nice to see how happy and hopeful everyone was in the beginning. So sad to see how it all turned out later down the road.

But what I *really* wanna know is what the heck they were growing on New Caprica and where can I get some of dat?!

Adama and Roslyn were sweeeeeeet together. Did you see him checking out her cleavage?! Dood! "That's a great color on you". Boys, take note... that was smooth.

When Lee was declaring his love into the night sky, I was totally expecting Adama and Roslyn to pop up behind a bush and say: "Dood? WTF? Shut up, man! You're totally killin' our buzz!"

The aftermath was pretty funny too... anypup notice that Adama had a serious case of the munchies? Hee!

Dear Puppy,

Gaah! My momma brought me to this dogforsaken place yesterday... I wrinkled my nose and said it smelled like dog. My momma just rolled her eyes at me. Can you believe she left me there all day? Not even a backward glance! So I was on my own. *sniffle*

They (those humans in charge) said I was 'aloof'. Am I aloof!? I think not... I just didn't see the point of sullying my dainty princess paws playing ball with the likes of those doofy golden labs.

When my momma came to pick me up she expected some sort of update on how I behaved. Is that too much to ask? A report on my activities during the day? It was more like: Daisy who? The humans in charge weren't very professional... not certified, not trained, not friendly... momma was not impressed.

Thank dog we're not going back... daddy thinks we should open up our own doggie daycare. That would be my momma's dream job. That would be my dream job too... top dog at the doggie daycare! :o)

I'm gonna be a Jersey Girl! We headed up to Fortescue, New Jersey this weekend to help Uncle Dick move... we're talking 12 hours of driving. Momma almost puked... *twice*. But she made it there in one piece. I was an excellent rider all the way down... just laid my head on the nearst lap and went to sleep.

I got to walk on the beach and feel sand between my tootsies for the first time evah! It was very cool! I was afraid of the surf though.

Why is NJ considered the "armpit of america"? It really didn't smell *that* bad and I didn't see any gnarly armpit hair protruding from any place?

But! I will be getting my own thanksgiving meal of Merrick's Thanksgiving Day Dinner. Here is the professionally photographed meal vs. uh... the actual stuff that came outta the can.

Hmmm... I seem to be missing some acoutrements such as the sprig of rosemary garnish, the glass of wine, and other festive sprinklings of pumpkins and holly berries.

Momma! It's not going to taste as good if it doesn't look as good as the picture! *whine*

Anyhoo, I'm so glad to see Adama and Tigh on the road to becoming BFF again! WOoOo!

And yes, I know I posted about the need for Tigh to get a real eye patch, but a beige colored one that looks like it was made from one of Ellen's bras??! Seriously? C'mon! Black. Eye. Patch. Mmm 'kay?

Dear Daisy,

Brrrrr! You don't look like you've gotta lotta fur on you... whacha doing to keep warm on your morning walkies??

Sincerely,
Nibbler

Dear Nibbler,

I have an assortment of sweaters (all of which are found in fugly variants of beige and navy blue). Why can't I have some nice pink or purple sweaters? With flowers? And ribbons? Or lace? *sigh* Evidently, it's hard to find frilly, girly sweaters for big chested, er... I mean, deep chested doggies like me. Luckily it's dark out so no one can see my Ugly Betty outfits.

So our morning routine is as follows:

6:00 AM
Alarm goes off
Daddy hits snooze

6:05 AM
Alarm goes off
Daddy hits snooze

6:10 AM
Alarm goes off
Daddy hits snooze
I run around the bedroom noser-ing the peep closest to the edge of the bed
I let out a yowl
Peeps deploy into action

6:15 AM
Run laps around daddy while he puts on his jacket
Run laps around daddy while he puts on his shoes
Run laps around daddy while he tries to put the sweater on me
Sweater goes over my head
Hold my right paw up daintily while my daddy slips it through the armhole
Then I hold my left paw up daintily ...
And I do the hokey pokey
And I turn myself around - woo!

After that I'm out the door, walking around the neighborhood, busting grumpies and taking care of other personal matters.

Dear Norm,

Gobble Gobble! There are turkeys everywhere I look... speaking of which, I love the new turkey rosettes (Thanks HQ!).

I just got my rosette rations refilled yesterday and I've already splurged and given away 18 rosettes (turkey and otherwise).

*burp*

Or would that be *prub* since I gave them away instead of eating them?

Dryer Balls vs Chewy Balls


November 16th 2006 9:23 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Daisy,

You make us all look bad cos I know you're, like, the perfect doggie and all, but have you gotten into any trouble recently?

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

--

Dear Puppy,

Well, just last Saturday, I got scolded for taking my momma's brand new dryer balls.

Now a little background on my momma and her obsessive need for all things clean. She looooves cleaning supplies. She loves to clean (usually in the way of mass overhauls). She came home last weekend all thrilled cos she found these dryer balls (30% off!!) which are supposed to help laundry dry faster and come out fluffier in the dryer. (Yep, she's a sucker for all types of houseware-y type gadgets.)

Well. My chew toy is blue and nubby. Dryer balls are blue and nubby. My chew toy fits into my mouth. Dryer balls fit into my mouth. Both are highly chewable. You see where I'm going with this, right?

So my momma separates the laundry and squeals in excitement as she opens up her packages of dryer balls. Yes, she is a strange one. She purchased a total of four (two to a package). She places them unattended on top of the dirty laundry in the basket.

There they sit... staring at me.

Here I sit... staring back.

We eye each other.

[Five minutes later...]

My momma comes back and squeals (but not in a good way this time) when she discovers three out of four dryer balls have gone missing! So she runs from room to room to see what I've done with them. Hey, fun! So I join her as we play 'let's chase the freaky mommy!'.

She finally finds them in the sunroom, all intact thankyouverymuch! She tsks tsks and shakes her finger at me while I flash her my innocent doggie smile at her. She shakes her head and laughs at me and whisks the dryer balls away.

Whatev. I was already tired of 'em anyway.

I love going through drive-thrus with my peeps too! I just hafta flash my doggie smile and I can always charm a couple of chicken nuggets outta the drive thru ladies at Wendy's.

Battlestar Doglactica - Ep. 7


November 14th 2006 9:10 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Daisy,

Again, no Jake in this episode... I am beginning to fear the worst for poor Jake the doggie. I hope it comes back and bites them all in their collective asses! Okay, other than my ranting, what'd you think of this week's episode?

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

The following posting may contain spoilers / speculations.

Dear Norm,

I am keeping my paws crossed that Jake will appear in an episode soon. All we want is c-l-o-s-u-r-e. Just tell us that Jake is safe aboard Cloud Nine, adopted by some loving family, frolicking in the sun and doing his dumpski on the nice green lawns. Please, we just want to know that Jake is not stuck on New Caprica fending for himself.

Overall, an interesting episode... Sharon (Athena) is immune to the virus due to the cybrid baby she was carrying. And Helo, traitor or not? He asphyxiates the other cylon captives McGyver-style before the crew could execute them within download range. There was no guarantee that the virus would infect the whole cylon fleet anyway, but still... if Roslyn finds out, his ass is *so* going to be airlocked.

So the question remains, why would the cylons still want to find earth? If the virus came from earth, wouldn't they get infected once reaching earth and die anyway? Maybe this is how Baltar makes himself useful... he finds a cure for the cylons so that they are immune. Either that or Xenalon decides to keep him around so she can play electrical chair with him.

Um, and the scene that I guess warranted the viewer discretion warning... the crazy cylon torture / pleasure chamber? I won't go there.

Daisy

ETA: Oops! My daddy, the crrrzy fanboy, just reminded me that Cloud Nine blew up last season. So as long as Jake wasn't on Cloud Nine or on Pegasus (both of which are an impossibility), there's still hope for him yet!

Dear Daisy,

Oh man oh man oh man! I love it when the leaves fall and the humans pile them all up and when no one is watching, I run through them and scatter them everywhere. What do your peeps do with all the fallen leaves?

Warm regards,
Nibbler

--

Dear Nibbler,

My peeps cleared out the leaves yesterday... WOo HoO! Now I've got my lawn back! I was having trouble finding the stick during my fetch sessions. The stick would fall and if I wasn't paying attention, I would have a terrible time of finding it amongst all those darned leaves.

My daddy picked up all the leaves with the mower, and ended up cutting the lawn too since it had grown quite a bit as well. So now I am not only able to find my stick during fetch, I don't have long grass blades tickling my bum when I dookie.

Yay daddy! I love you!

Dear Chesteroo,

I do the bath and cat zoomies!! And don't forget about treat zoomies and seeing-Fran-n-Herb zoomies.

This morning, I did the fresh-crisp-winter-air zoomies! I made a couple of laps around the house, a couple of laps around the yard, chased some imaginary squirrels, barked at some falling leaves, made a couple more laps around the house, stopped at sniffed Howie (the cat), and did a couple more zoomies around the yard before I ran inside.

Then I let out a couple of big G-A-C-Ks from all the cold air I had sucked in.

And now I must nap...
for at least 12 hours.

It's a hard life. :o)

Dear Norm,

Last night while my daddy was munching on his burger, he picked out one of his pickles and gave it to my momma. Of course, I had to investigate... so I slowly inched closer and closer.

My momma seeing that I was intently following the path of the pickle, she gave me a little schnibble of it to see if I would eat it.

My daddy scoffed and said that I wouldn't like it.

I spit it out once, then picked it up again. I munched on it and my tastebuds exploded: Pew! Pew! Pew! I'd never tasted anything quite like a pickle before. It was good! So I got another little schnibble to munch on.

So from now on, all the pickles my daddy picks out of his burgers will go straight in my bell-ay! :o)

Dear Daisy,

So Britney Spears filed for divorce from KFed. I think everyone including the blind man down the street saw this coming----what's your take on the situation?

Licks!
Maggs

--

Dear Maggs,

But how could she do this? Right in the middle of his meteoric rise to rap superstardom.

Ahhh, Britney - your timing on this was impeccable. This definitely scores you some points.

Oh, and asking the judge to make K-Fed pay for his own attorney is also a nice move. She's got Laura Wasser as a divorce attorney. This woman is a bulldog in the courtroom. Oooh... it's gonna be nasty fun watching all of this go down.

While K-Fed will be stuck with someone like Lionel Hutz.

I wonder how fast he'll disappear? Oh wait... wait...
Okay, already gone. K-Who?

You know somewhere Shar Jackson is probably laughing her ass off.

I do feel sorry for all the assorted offspring that have come forth from the loins of this monkey.

Sincerely,
Nibbler

Dear Nibbler,

Oy. Doggie farts can indeed be extremely nasty.

Why, just the other night, I was ensconced with both my peeps in the warmth of a fleecy blanket on the couch. I daintily stood up and jumped down. My peeps wondered where I was going since I am usually dead to the world whenever a fleecy blanket is involved.

I walked over to the doorway and released a whopper of a doggie fart (complete with soundeffects).

My peeps were so amazed at my politeness... I would've said 'excuse me', but hey, I'm just a doggie.

Battlestar Doglactica - Ep. 5 & 6


November 6th 2006 6:29 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Daisy,

Okay, I'm miffed! Where's Jake?! Other than that brief flashback in Episode 5, which indubitably saved Gaeta's ass, why no Jake the doggie?! Was he airlocked as a collaborator as well?! Could they not afford to keep him on as a regular? Not even a guest spot? Boo!

Sincerely,
Tiny Totums

--

The following posting may contain spoilers / speculations.

Dear Totums,

I was so expecting to see Jake at the end of Episode 6 when they were showing all the civillians living onboard Galactica. I mean, c'mon! Why not a brief shot of him, say... playing with Kasey? Or a shot of Jake playing tug-0-war with Tigh's bottle of ambrosia? Nah, that would've ruined the dark mood of the episode, I guess. But a quick shot of Jake would've been enough to satisfy my need to know that the poochie made it onboard Galactica in the mass exodus.

So Episode 5 - Collaborators was meh... bye bye Jammer, airlocked for your crimes against humanity. A sorta bridge episode, but more of a tying up of some loose ends and confirmation of the continuing downward spiral of bitter, hate, and crazy going on with Tigh and Kara. My favorite line of this episode - Adama to Apollo: "Keep jumping". Awww, thanks dad! :P

But, in Episode 6, Hawt!Apollo is back - dang, he looks fine (once again). I doubt jumping rope gives you hawt abs like that, but I loves me some Apollo. :o) To the writers, thank you for showing us a sweaty, shirtless Apollo. One-Eyed!Tigh is sooo broken. Bitter much? It seems like nothing wll ever be able to fill the gaping hole that is his eye socket. Helo's hair looked a little bit better - I guess they're slowly transitioning the bowl-cut out with a little 'zhoosh' to the bangs this week. And Kara? Thanks for chopping off some of that crazy along with the hair.

Okay, so we've established that Baltar is not a cylon, otherwise he would've been infected... or would he??? He was wearing one of them space suits (which importantly, Athena / Sharon was also, so that would ease my poor doggie mind about losing her to the cylon virus). Obviously the Cylons are running some sort of Microsoft product, which is extremely virus-prone so I can most certainly see it destroying entire civilizations. I just hope Bill Gates lives long enough to be tried for crimes against humanity.

Um, and the hydra... girlfriend really liked to spin up the FTL drives and jump. I mean, she really, really liked it. She was totally making her 'O' face. Well, that was a wee bit uncomfortable to watch. Anyway, totally reminded me of Minority Report and the freaky PreCog Agatha - although I totally loved Samantha Morton in 'Jane Eyre' and 'Emma'.

Baltar really needs a haircut - but at least he's not running around nekkid on the cylon basestar anymore. Nor is he confined to the disco themed room they've put him in, complete with a hot pink chaise lounge and throbbing lights. Very sneaky of him not to mention the probe he found on the dying cylon ship - but hey, always looking out for number one, right?

On the human side of things, Adama held a glare-fest and gave Tigh and Kara the smackdown for being snarky. I guess Adama and Tigh are no longer BFF, but hopefully that will change in an upcoming episode which brings them back together again.

Okay, next week? For frak's sake... someone please get Tigh an eye-patch so he doesn't have to keep wearing his little 3 x 3 inch square of gauze every episode.

Dear Nibbler,

Heavens no... I don't chew on stuff like that when I've got treats and chew toys comin' out the ying-yang. :o)

When I was a pup - the worst I ever chewed on were pens (especially Sharpies) - they were like mini sticks! I loved 'em until my peeps got wise and stopped leaving stick-like objects on the ground.

My peeps are sooooo lucky I am not more destructive cos my momma's got shoes laying everywhere - every style of every color of every brand. Most of 'em have got these nice long heels... that are kinda stick-like.

Hmmm... maybe if I nibble on a couple of them heels she won't be so apt to leave them lying all over the place, tripping my daddy in the mornings when he's fumbling around in the dark getting ready to take me out for walkies.

Just a thought.

Dear Nibbler,

We took a trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway today and headed out and stopped first at Sparta to grab some lunch before heading out to Doughton Park.

We went on a 2.5 mile trail starting at the coffeeshop and ending at Brinegar's Cabin. It was a gorgeous day - sunny but with a little chill in the air. It was really nice because it was really quiet along the trail... didn't see any people until we were headed back.

There was so much to smell and so much to chase! Squirrels were bountiful! So was the abundant variety of poo!

Part of the trail cut through a meadow which was close to the road. As we were following the trail through the meadow, we looked up and saw this older couple on a motorcycle slow down as they drove by. The husband pointed at me and was like, "Look! A deer!"... and the wife was like, "No, it's a dawwwg!" Hee!

Next, we proceeded to point up into the sky at ... well, nothing really. This minivan went by us and they were all craning their necks trying to see what we were pointing at. Which was again, nothing. Hee! Y'all should try that sometime.

It was getting towards dusk when we saw some deer in the cow pasture bounding away from us. We saw even more deer along the sides of the road on the drive home as well. Luckily we didn't hit any.

I was pretty pooped by the end of the day and my peeps didn't hear a ... peep (!) outta me for the rest of the night.

Dear Harry,

Brrrr... it's been freezing cold up here - the wind has been gusting all night and all day. We're all nice and toasty inside the cabin though. We saw some deer! And I couldn't stop yodelling for hours - I wanted to chase them sooooo badly! But then my peeps would never see me again once I got into the depths of the forest, so they didn't let me do any chasing. Boo!

This morning, I walked out with a sweater, came back all nekkid! Hee!

I am a much braver hound up in the mountains than down in the city... up here when the wind's blowing, the rain's pounding, or the cabin is creaking, it doesn't bother me at all. Back at home, I'd be shaking and under the bed before you could blink.

Will report more later... gotta go back outside and bury the sweater so my peeps can't find it.

Dear Norm,

Are you applying for the position?!? ;o)

Wait! Don't run away... I was just kidding!

I am single, footloose and fancy free. There's my grandpeeps doggie, Pal, but I'm not too interested in him... he's such a goober head. Plus he's got cooties. Besides which, he's shacked up with Dakota, a chocolate lab from the wilds of Philly.

Oh, but I do love the boys! My momma and I went to PetSmart on the weekend and they were having an adoption fair sponsored by AARF. They had a ton of kitty cats of all shapes and sizes, but my tail started wagging upon seeing the gathering of doggies ready for adoption. I zoomed right in and cuddled up next to a brindle-colored, muscle-bound, mack truck of a boxer-mix named Artie. I was on him like white on rice. I'm a shamless hussy when it comes to the menz.

My momma was wondering why I wasn't making the rounds to sniff the other butts, and as it turns out, the rest of the doggies there were chicks, so Artie got all of my undivided attention. Sadly, after my momma called my daddy to ask him if there was the teeniest, tiniest possibility we could get another doggie, he lay the smackdown and said no.

*sigh*

So I had to bid my soon-to-be-not-even-ex-boyfriend adieu. But I did get one last lick and sniff in before we left.

Warm regards,

The following posting may contain spoilers / speculations.

Dear Nibbler,

Best. Episode. Evah!!!11!!1!!!!1!oneone!shift+one!~!!! And it's only the fourth episode this season! I think I can totally get over my bitterness of last season's "Black Market" flop if this keeps up.

So what happens? Galactica does a freefall plummet into the atmosphere of New Caprica, launches some vipers, and then jumps out again... the peeps escape, Ellen Tigh bites the dust a la greek tragedy, Cylons gain control of Hera the cybrid baby, and Adama's porn'stache is no more!!! Thank goodness.

Oh, and I better see someone walking / pooping / playing with Jake in the next episode otherwise I'll be mad! Mean mad! He played such an integral part of the resistance.

If Tigh's eye does not get nonimated for an Emmy as best supporting actor, the whole system is rigged!!! His eye once again rocked the hell out of this episode.

I am so glad the baby Kasey story arc is tied up. But yeah, let's just add another layer of crazy onto Starbuck's already frakked up psyche.

Bye bye Pegasus... we hardly knew ye. But how awesomely did she go out in style??? Taking out one battlestar, and the remnants of her nameplate crashing into the other - *sniffle* - that was beautiful. So this is how Apollo loses his chubbs... the Taco Bell onboard blew up along with Pegasus. No more chalupas!

For upcoming episdes, my doggie senses are tingling and tell me that Helo gets a decent haircut (I hope), a love triangle forms between Adama, Roslin and Zarek (okay, I hope not), and we find that Tory Foster arranged for the Cylons to get ahold of Hera.

Pup-kin Rosettes!

Dear Daisy,

Wowie! Dogster has really outdone themselves this time with pumpkin rosettes! What do you think the other specially shaped rosettes should be?

Sincerely,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

I love the pumpkin rosettes!!! They are so cuuuuute! :o)

Lessee, we could have (in no particular order):

Valentine's - heart shaped rosettes!
Easter - peeps! or bunny foo foos!
St. Patrick's - four leaf clover!
Christmas - an ornament! or a tree!
Thanksgiving - a turkey drumstick!! mmmm *drool*
Halloween - candy corn would be cool too! Or a cute little ghostie!
4th of July - a flag! or fireworks!

We could also have special birthday cake rosettes! Oooh, and wouldn't it be neat if the rosettes were animated?! Blinkity blink? Or color changing?! :o)

Dear Daisy,

The howlidays are right around the corner! Do you and your peeps exchange gifts? If so, what are you going to give them this year? This year I think I am going to give Momma a big sloppy smooch and I'm going to try not to do it after sniffing poo at the dog park. Each year I get gifts from some fat guy named Santa whom I've never actually caught sneaking down the chimney, but I aim to get him someday!

Maggs

--

Dear Maggs,

A big sloppy smoochie sounds like a great gift!!! Are you sure we shouldn't do it after sniffing poopie at the park? Sounds like a nice extra little bonus to me.

I have actually *seen* this fat guy you call Santa... last year. And the year before! In fact, I have pictoral evidence that he does indeed exist - and although he didn't climb down our chimney, he did smell of malt liquor and cheese doodles.

Dear Doggies,

My Dogster Pic of the Week goes to Mr. Furley. Yes, he's furry and cute, but it's his name that captures me because Three's Company was one of my momma's favorite TV shows.

Mr. Furley's pet peeve? When Tripper and the girls don't pay their rent on time! *lol*

We've gotta send you a flashy, bold bandana so you can fully live up to your namesake. ;o)

Dear Daisy,

What did you think of last Friday's Battlestar Galactica episode?!? I was so excited to see Jake the dog in the episode again. Yay! They better take him when they leave that rock... I'd be really pissed if they left him with the cylons.

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

The following posting may contain spoilers / speculations.

Dear Puppy,

It was a pretty good episode... not as great as the previous episodes, but not bad. They totally have to take Jake the dog with them when they leave New Caprica! He's Gaeta's only alibi...

Anyhoo, it was great to see Chief's face again - beard be gone! Now all we need is Adama to shave off his 70's porn'stache and for Helo to get rid of his dreadful bowl-cut. My Tigh can keep his beard though... rugged, sexy, and all-out crazy. That's how I like 'em. ;o)

Oh oh, and my prediction for upcoming episodes? Everyone gets off the rock... EXCEPT for Baltar! They totally ditch him, so this totally pisses him off and leaves him open to join the cylons and thus turning against humanity. Again.

Dear Daisy,

I looooooooooove FALL! The weather is so brisk outside. I love to run run run and sniff sniff sniff every leaf on the ground. The only thing I don't like about the colder weather is how cold it gets *inside* the house. Brrrrr! Turn up the thermostat! Stat! How do you stay warm when you're inside with your peeps?

Warm regards,

Dear Pupperoni,

Fleecies! You've gotta have fleecy blankets. OMG. They are the best heat inducing item in the world. Cover me up in one of these lovlies and my sticks are stuck straight out when I sleep.

What's even MORE awesome is sleeping under the fleecies *with* my peeps! Between the fleece blanket, human body heat, and me... I am snug as a pup in a rug.

The only downfall... getting dutch oven'd. What is a dutch oven, you say? It's the act of trapping a person (or in my case, a doggie) under the covers and releasing a fart. Yes. I know doggies have smelly farts, but until you've been dutch oven'd by my peeps, you don't know what vile a$$ fumes can come outta these people!!

Thanks for sharing what you had for dinner last night. :P

Sticks! Definitely sticks! I loves me some fiber.

Wave a stick at me, then squeak a squeakie... I'll definitely jump for the stick! But since sticks aren't allowed in the house, I can only chew / play with them outside. I do have a designated "outside" squeakie toy, but it just isn't as fun as chasing after a stick!

Yes! Finally! A doggie on BG! I think he was an australian shepherd mix. Whatta cutie. I think his name is Jake? I wonder if the doggie is a cylon collaborator... they call the cylon-human hybrids 'skinjobs', I guess they'd call the cylon-doggie hybrids 'furjobs'?

I ~heart~ Tigh. He is playing the glorious salty sea captain character to the hilt. He's all Tigh, minus an eye, with an extra helping of Tigh on top.

Uh, Lee Adama. Boy, what have you done to yourself? Did you find a Taco Bell onboard Pegasus? I know the camera adds 10 pounds, but how many cameras were on you??? (I know it's a fat suit, but the jiggliness made it seem so real). Me wants to poke it.

How do Roslin and Zarek survive??? Me thinks the NCP turn on the toasters. That'll give Jammer some redemption.

Dogster Pic of the Week

[ Leave A Comment ]

Dear Doggies,

I am expecting Brigitta to break out into "Chamma Chamma" (a la Moulin Rouge) as my Dogster Pic of the Week.

She's got an awesome gold star (for graduating from puppy kindergarten) which reminds me of a bindi (a decoration worn on the forehead).

According to About.com, the area between the eyebrows, the sixth chakra known as the 'agna' meaning 'command', is the seat of concealed wisdom. It is the centre point wherein all experience is gathered in total concentration.

So not only is Brigitta smashingly brilliant, she's also brilliantly attired.

Love,
Daisy

Dear Chester

Hmmm... are *you* dreaming about Dogster or is your momma dreaming about Dogster? ;o)

I must confess, that I, personally, do not dream about Dogster (I dream about getting my chompers on the elusive bunny bum that's always sooooo close!!!).

Don't tell her I told you, but my momma, on the other hand, has on occasion a dream or two about pup pals, rosettes, diary postings, and the forums.

That is very scary! But, I think you're right. This is clearly an addiction.

We should definitely start a group... Dogsters Anonymous is a great idea! :o)

Is your momma going to make your costume or is she going to buy one? Target has some great doggie costumes at very reasonable prices... I know cos I've got a trunk full of 'em. *groan*

Dear Doggies,

I realize that with all the doggies out there in Dogster, I hardly ever stroll through the pages much anymore. Well, I am a social doggie who loves to meet and greet... even if it's just sniffin' bums through the laptop screen (wish they'd come out with a scratch 'n' sniff add-on soon!)

This morning I did a stroll on Ibizan Hounds and came across a great picture of Ted that made us giggle.

Once a week, I'll post a link to a doggie that I meet during my strolls through Dogsterville.

Dear Daisy,

Are you all rested up from your long weekend up at the cabin?

Sincerely,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

Phew! I am feeling MUCH more rested... I was so relaxed in fact, that when I was lovingly picked up by my daddy, I didn't even struggle too much when I was unceremoniously plopped into the bath tub.

NOoOoo! Not the hound-dog smell I worked so hard on all weekend! *sniffles* But there it went... all that pungent aroma down the drain.

I was scrubbed from head to feets, from the tip of my nose (which got stung!) to the tip of my tail. Momma even washed my bum! Gah! Oh, the indignity.

Ahhh, then it was the rinse off - my absolutely favorite part. I will stand statue-still when it's time for the rinse cycle. I love the hot water sluicing over me chasing the chill away.

Of course all baths end with treats, so I got treats galore! Then I got some play time in too with one of the squeakies. I am so hyper after a bath, I accidentally 'speared' my daddy in the ribs when I tried to take the squeakie away from him. He threw it finally, and I chased it halfway down the hall, turned, and trotted back to daddy.

My momma was like, "Awww! She's coming back to see if you're ok".

I came around and started sniffing daddy's side, under the guise of checking out his boo boo... but really, I was after the stash of leftover treats behind him and started snarfing them down before either of my peeps realized my true intent.

So now I am a clean hound, with nasty beef liver breath.

Dear Daisy,

Okay, your faithful following is dying from suspense here---how was your weekend? Why were your peeps packing? Where did they go? Did you get to go too? Did you have fun when you got there? And for DOG'S sake, WHO SHOT JR??? ;)

Maggie May

--

Dear Maggs,

I *so* got to go with my peeps!!! We hopped in the car and went over to Fran & Herb's house. From there, we all piled into their van and drove and drove... and drove some more. We eventually ended up at their cabin up in the mountains in Virginia! Wooo baby! I ran like a wild woman. AND Ruby was there too - so that was extra super happy fun time cos we played a ton in the clearing and in the woods.

The cabin was awesome cos Herb built it himself. It was so cute! Don't tell him I said that cos that's not a 'manly' description for the cabin, but it was very very cool. It had a loft upstairs, a bathroom, kitchen, and a deck with a great view. It was so very awesome.

We arrived on Saturday evening, and my peeps and I slept on the futon downstairs. When Fran & Herb found us the next morning, it was a mass tangle of legs, arms, sticks, sheets, and pillows. We evidently slept very well.

Fran made me this awesome vest in hunter's orange. It fit perfectly! I think she should market these for doggies - they would totally fly off the shelves like pupcakes! I ran around the woods in it and tried to hide in the grass from Ruby, but I guess my vest worked too well, cos she always found me and nibbled on my ears. I ran so fast, I was like a flash of orange zipping around everywhere.

After my stint of modelling my hunting vest, I was able to attend to the most important part of the trip: ROLL! I had been roll-less for two weeks now, I was thrilled I was finally allowed to let loose and be a wild woman. I rolled like there was no tomorrow (well, there was a tomorrow, and I rolled then too). There were plenty of smellies in the clearing... groundhog poop, coffee grounds, snake skins, and mole holes.

Later on that morning, we drove back across to NC and we climbed Stone Mountain and many times I almost pulled my daddy down the mountain. Sorry, daddy! You gotta hurry up cos I've got stuff to sniff. I had to stay on the leash on the whole walk - grrrrr! We climbed all the way to the top and we met a lot of doggies on the way, and a couple of doggies up at the top too. We must've walked six or seven miles that day. I was pretty poopered by the end of the night - the peeps went out to roast marshmellows at the fire pit out front while Ruby and I chilled inside the cabin.

The next day, we walked down to the creek - this time I was leash-less the ENTIRE time cos we were on Fran & Herb's private property. OH MY GAWD. It was so awesome. Even though I had to wear my radioactive vest, it was totally worth it to be off leash. Ruby and I chased each other the whole 1/2 mile down to the creek and the whole way back. We ran into the creek, jumped over bushes, and barked up a storm.

Unfortunately the weekend at the cabin had to end... not that I'm complaining, cos I am one poopered pup. I slept all the way home, and once home, I slept some more. I couldn't even work up a groan when I got woken up. I just buried my nose under my tail and shut out the world. Thank goodness the peeps are back to work tomorrow... I don't think I could put up with them keeping me from getting my beauty sleep.

So all in all, it was an awesome weekend of rolling, barking, playing, and hound-doggin'. :o) I think we'll do it again soon!

Blech. I don't do veggies. Are french fries considered a veggie? Those are pretty good. I will do apples though. Them apples are pretty tasty.

The food I'm eating now has little bits of dried potato, carrot, and peas in it. Unbeknownst to my momma, I have been eating around these little suckers and dropping them out onto the floor, so as to separate the nasties from the good stuff.

It wasn't until my unsuspecting momma was speared in the foot by a shard of dried carrot that she realized the lovely mosaic I had created on the floor consisting of greens, whites, and reds. Very artistically arranged too, I must say.

So to veggies, I say, putooey! Putooey, I say!

Dear Harry,

After the exciting evening I had on Friday, I figured I'd have a chance to recuperate on Saturday. Yesterday started out as a regular Saturday morning... thinking I'd get to sleep the day away. My momma had gone out shopping, and my daddy and I were chillin' in the sunroom. But my daddy had other plans. He popped in a DVD and started watching it. I closed my eyes and prepared for at least a two hour nap.

After about 20 minutes or so, he woke me up and started to fiddle with some sort of contraption that went over my snout, then around the back of my head. I didn't mind it and I got treats of course, so I continued being a good girl - all in the name of treats.

Then it all started to go downhill once he attached the leash to this contraption called the Gentle Leader. OMG. I * f r e a k e d * out. I tried my darndest to get it off at this point, but the dang thing was secure. Eventually we had a couple of good walking sessions, no tugging whatsoever... but I still wanted the darn thing offa me!

My momma came home around noon, and my daddy showed her how we had been practicing with the Gentle Leader. I freaked out *just* for her by laying on the ground with my paws over my snout. I would not budge. I looked so miserable. Daddy just scoffed and said I was being a drama queen and that momma was a soft-touch.

Momma, don't leave me with the evil daddy man again! Take me shopping with you next time. Please!!

Dear Norm,

Er, yeah. After 45 minutes waiting in line for the stuff, I will reek like kettle corn for weeks to come. ;o)

After dinner with Fran & Herb, and then a play session with Ruby, we went to Rock the Block afterwards. It's a free downtown event where five blocks or so are shut down and several live music venues are scattered throughout the area.

Even though we got there at around 9:30 PM, the block was still rockin'. The street was packed with people, but I only saw one other doggie at the event. Which totally worked in my favor cos everyone who saw me would coo: "Oooooh! Lookit the cute doggie!" or "Awwww! DOGGIE!".

My peeps though it was funny cos everytime someone saw me and exclaimed my cuteness, I would hold my head up high and do my horsey prance! Well DUH! I gotta look good for my public - and good posture is everything.

So we didn't actually *rock* the block, but we did walk it. I behaved perfectly walking on the streets, and even though it was crowded, Momma is relieved that no one stepped on lil ol' me.

My peeps have on the odd occasion given me human food, but it's alway given to me in my food bowl. I've had rotisserie chicken breast - yum, that was purdy darned good. Oooo! And just last night, I had the tips off the sides of the sirloin roast momma made. Where's the beef, you ask? In MAH BELL-AY! :o) *burpa*

Dear Daisy,

You seem like a pretty easygoing doggie... is there anything that annoys you or makes you angry or frustrated?

Sincerely,

Pretty much nothing phases me.

...when my peeps bother me when I'm sleeping! GAAAAARRRRR!

Last night, my momma stealthily crept over to where I was sleeping (quite soundly, thankyouverymuch) on my pillow in the sunroom and started scratching my love bump (no, not that one - the one on my head, sillies!).

I lifted my head, cracked open my eyes, and gave a LOUD, disapproving groan, turned away, tucked my snout even deeper underneath my tail, and went back
