My Blonde Moment

So yesterday I decided to jump the fence (like I am not suppose to do) and I cut my tummy open. Well, Mom freaked out. I got pumped full of antibiotics and cleaned up and a cone put on me. Well I was ok with that but then she called the vet. I hopped in the car willingly cause I thought we were going to the dog park. When we got there, Mom made me stand on the scale. I weigh 36 pounds now. I did lose a few pounds. I was chunky for a while. Well, they took me to the back and told Mom to come and pick me up in a couple of hours. They knocked me out, put a drain in me and stiched me back up. I was happy to see the 2 greyhounds when they walked past me. I wagged my tail but could not get up to say hi. Mom finally came and got me after what seemed like forever. I still have to wear the cone though. I really hate it. Now I have to take medicine too. They said I have to come back in a couple of days to get the drain taken out. I am not excited about that. I am in pain but I don't want to be a baby. I am taking it like the Pittie that I am. Next time I will just have to jump higher.

I Went To The Beach!

Last week my mommy was on vacation. She decided to take a couple of us dogs to the dog beach. Of course I was going to be one of them. I was not going to take no for an answer anyways. It was a very long car ride. We got to the beach and I had no clue where I was. My pulled out my tennis ball. I got very excited. She through it into the water and I didn't think twice about it. I dove right in and got it. We played fetch in the water for hours. I would not give up. I did take in quite a bit of salt water though and got sick from it later. But it was worth it. I had the best time ever. Mommy didn't know that I like to go swimming. She told me she will try to take me swimming more often. The only problem is that there is no place around here to go swimming. But I will keep my hopes up and go again. The car ride was well worth it. I had the best time ever.

Marshall Swamp Trail!!

Today I got to go for a very long walk. It was great. We had never been on this trail before and we wanted to try something new. We went off the beaten path and walked the dirt paths. It was so awesome. I almost stepped on a little black snake. Mom didn't see it at first but when she did she almost had a heart attack. Our walk took a little less than 3 hours. I love to walk so it was great for me. Mom said something about me having to be tired tonight. The trail was 3 miles long, but that was one way. We had to turn around and go back too. So all in all we walked 6 miles today. Mom was exhausted but I kept pulling her forward. I wasn't that tired. I can't wait to go back. I had a great time.

Soccer Balls Are Fun!!

I went to the doggy park again today. This time mom did not bring the Chuck-It like she normallly does. I was a little disappointed at first. She showed me this really big ball she called a soccer ball. It didn't look as fun but I figured I would give it a try. Boy, was I wrong. It was so great. Mom would kick it and I would go chasing after it. I could kick it myself and make it go really far. I would keep kicking it down the hill and chase after it. I did pop a hole in it though so that I could pick it up. Of course I also took it in the pool with me so that no one else could get it. It floated to which I thought was really neat. I liked that ball much better than the tennis ball. Nobody tried to steal that from me. They always try to take my tennis balls. I think I found a new favorite toy. When we were leaving, mom hosed me down with the soccer ball in my mouth. She made sure to clean it off to since I did get it a little dirty. I love my new toy.

Yeah!! The Doggie Park!!!

Today I went to the doggie park for the first time. I went with my mommy, her roommate and 5 of my doggy housemates. I played fetch forever. I really liked the swimming pool that was there. Whenever I got hot, I would just take my ball and go lay in the pool. This Shar-Pei wanted to be friends with me in the pool. I didn't want to be bothered so I would get my ball, stand up and point my butt at her and lay down in the water again. She still wouldn't leave me alone, so I hopped into the other pool. Ren and I got to play fetch with the Chuck-It! toy. That is a really great toy because the ball goes really far. Mommy likes it to because she does not have to touch the ball after I have slobbered on it. I did not like the dog that kept biting me in the butt when I was trying to bring the ball back to mommy. I did growl at her so she went and tried to bite someone else in the butt. I had a lot of fun. Now the dog park is open on wednesdays when mommy is usually off, so I can go more often. Plus it is open later now on saturday and sundays, so I may be able to go 3 days a week. Mommy would like to take me there as much as possible because our backyard is not all that big, but big enough. I can't wait to go back.

Bad Crate!!

Today my mommy had to take Ruby back to the santuary to get something done to her. Well mommy wanted to let the cats run around the house so she left her bedroom door open instead of shutting me inside. She thought she was going to put me in a crate. Well she did put me in a crate but while mommy was gone I broke it and got out. Mommy is not exactly sure how I did it since the door was still closed and I was out. Well, she left again later and put me in one of the plastic crates this time thinking that I would not get out. Well she was gone no more than 2 minutes before I got really mad and ripped the door right of and got out of the crate. She will not try to put me in a crate because I will always get out. I do not like the crate even though mommy gave me toys and hoofies to chew on. Those other dogs like their crates, but not I. That is what she gets for sticking me in there.

Good-Bye Hector!

My mommies roommate fosters dogs for a rescue group. Well, she was fostering this dog named Hector. Hector is a cool dog. He was not housebroken when he came here and he didn't understand toys or know what a leash was when he came to visit. Well a couple of days ago the santuary called and let everyone know that someone was interested in adopting Hector. He didn't understand what that meant. I told him that since I was adopted that meant that you get to have your very own family for the rest of your life. He was kind of happy but sad all the same. You see, he really liked it here with trips to the big field, walks on the greenway, and trips to the dog park. So off to the santuary he went the other day and found his new family. We were all a little upset but happy that he found his new home. Well don't worry, I have a new foster buddy. Her name is Ruby. She came with Hector to the santuary from the same kill shelter. I kind of like this fostering thing. I get to help take them from "no-no bad dog"s to "very good puppy".
