A diary pick of the day~ Sept. 9, '07

Cool huh? Thanks, Pups, for reading my lil 'ol diary! And thanks to all of you who left a rosette for me! Super cool!
And to the pup who left an any on o mous rosette, we haven't figured you out yet! Mommy got a headache trying! She's not much of a detective. "sigh"
Thanks again, Dogsters!

Cheepings and peepings

A mystery is afoot in my house. There are cheepings and peepings in our food pantry. I can't see what is making those noises! It is making me crazy.
Mommy makes yummy cookies for us dogs. And she did make us toys once, except we chewed holes in them real fast. She said she wouldn't ever make us toys again.
But I think somehow that is what is happening. The cheeping and peeping must be toys for us. I think Mommy is somehow making the toys. The toys are in a q bator or something like that.
I hear the cheeping. Then when we are outside, she carries a small box away. Drover says he can see Mommy going into our barn carrying the little box. He spys her as much as he can.
It gets quiet for awhile then the cheeping starts back up. I guess another toy is ready then. Pretty soon, we have to go outside, then Mommy carries that little box away again.
She must be hiding the toys in the barn until it's time to give them to me. That must be it! Maybe my birthday or Christmas! It's hard for a pup to wait! I wish a could just catch a glimpse of what the toys are like.

I Saw Notme!

I am not making this up! I saw Notme in my house!
My family had to leave for awhile yesterday. Drover and Me were put into our kennels in the closet/storage area. Cindy is a "good dog" and doesn't have to be in her kennel. Well, she goes into her kennel when the family leaves, but she doesn't have a door so she can lay around the house. She used to have a door on her kennel but she was a naughty dog, once. She tore up a cover that was in there when the door was closed. That was a long time ago when she first moved here. So anywho, she doesn't have to be shut up in her kennel. She is "trustworthy". She hasn't even tried to get to the kitty food or chew on a box of Christmas decorations for a long time.
So back to my story. I have a good view of the trash can from my kennel window. It's right next door, so to speak.
I saw Notme getting into the trash.
Yes, in broad daylight, that Notme found the meat wrapper and licked it to bits. Notme even ate the pork chop bones! Anydog knows we are not supposed to eat pork chop bones! Notme found a little package that had had kitty treats. That must have been yummy. Notme took some of the trash into the hall where I couldn't see very well. Notme didn't seem to like the coffee grounds. That Notme made a big mess.
Now I don't know if the Notme at your house looks the same, but here at my place Notme looked just like Cindy!

Home Alone

We had a nice morning at home with Mommy. Daddy had gone to work, sister had gone to college and brother was away at work. We were helping do some yard work and napping and such. The phone rang and I knew Mommy was talking to brother. She said she would be right there to pick him up. Always before when the family is leaving, we go into our kennel boxes. Now, my Mommy is old and forgetful and she was in a hurry to pick up brother from his job.
She didn't put us in our boxes! Of course, the Mommyvelcro Drover ran around the house yelping. Cindy was sleeping. That left me to try to calm Mr. Worrywart. He was up on the bed looking out. He was running all over the house screaming. Oh my, but he was carrying on so. Hours passed. Or what seemed like hours.
Finally Mommy and brother returned. Drover melted into a puddle at Mommy's feet. It was sickening.
Then sister got home. She had shopped at Petco for some food for us. She didn't get us anything else. I don't like to wear clothes but she told me about a cute little sweater that would have been perfect for me. It said: " I used to be nice, but I got bored." Hmmm, let me think about that for awhile.

Notme Strikes Again

My brother just found 2 peppers laying in our yard! That Notme is at it again. Now the little round peppers have a cage around them, they are safe from Notme. But Mommy has another pepper plant growing. It has long peppers. I think they may be a little hot. That may be why Notme picked 2 and just left them laying in the yard. They had a couple of tooth marks in them. That Notme dog may have even broke part of the pepper plant. I don't know how else it would have gotten broken.What a terribly naughty dog is that Notme.

Early morning happenings

We get up around here pretty early because Daddy has to go to work. So this morning it was kinda cloudy and still even a bit dark.
I found something out in the grass. I was looking and kinda jumping back. I didn't know what the thing was. Mommy was afraid to come over to look to see what I had found! She thought it might be a little snake or a mouse or other creepy crawly critter! She didn't want me to get hurt or bitten so she came over and asked what I had found.
"I don't know what it is, I've never seen one before," I answered.
Mommy looked and said it was a great big dragonfly. It must have been hurt because it didn't fly away. She still didn't know if it might try to bite me so she was able to pick it up on a piece of grass. She put it way up high so I couldn't reach it. It may be out there still. It sure was big, Mommy said it was about 4 inches long! That's about 10 cm, Jelly! She said it could carry me off but I don't believe that!
Since I couldn't reach my big dragonfly Mommy started throwing our outside balls for us. We have one that is a Buddy Glow Ball that glows in the dark. Now, like I said, it was a little bit dark. Mommy throws like a girl and threw the Buddy Glow Ball right into our patch of tomatoes. It was hard to find that light green ball in all those light green tomatoes! Mommy is a little bit taller than me and she found it first. I was really looking for it though. It was a tomato jungle! BOL
I'm gonna go try a piece of tomato right now! My pal Jelly found out they tasted yucky. Hey, I like them! I had about 5 little pieces! Drover didn't like his! That's ok, I'll eat them!
Bark you later,
Zoe

Spreadin' the love!

Sending love to all my Dogster pals!
Arroooo!

Drover got more cookies than me.

Mommy made a new batch of cookies today! They are called Rover Rewards. They are yummy!
But since Mr. Drover was "sensing something" bad this morning and being Mommy's shadow, he hardly went outside to even potty. So when the cookies had cooled enough from baking he was inside, I was outside. I think he got a whole bunch of cookies by showing Mommy those big sad eyes. When I came back inside, his breath smelled like cookies. Humph! He probably got half the batch.
And then, I was inside with sister and I heard Mommy going outside. Tricky Mommy! She took Drover for a ride in the car! I didn't get to go! Yeah, they were only gone a couple of minutes, but still, I like to ride too! I was waiting at the door when they came back. He smelled like a car ride! Humph!
Cookie breath and car ride body odor!
I am more of the "family" dog. I spread the love to everyone. Drover is a Mommyshadow, Mr. Velcro Drover. Maybe I am missing out because I am not a velcro pup. Something to think about.

My own very own gazebo!

In our backyard, there's usually not much shade, especially during the day. In the mornings and evenings, we get some shade from the lilac bush and shrubs, but during the rest of the day, it can get pretty hot. Well, that's where my gazebo comes in! It's actually a trampoline, but it doubles as a gazebo. I like laying down in the grass, or chewing on a bone while I'm under there. Of course, Drover has to come invade my gazebo- he says there's plenty of room for me to share. Hmph.

Also, you remember that dog Notme I told you about? It's back! Mom has a little pepper plant growing in the backyard, and one of the peppers was turning red. Mom said she was excited 'cause this is the first one of her peppers to turn red. Well, she found that pepper off the plant, beside the sidewalk, with a toothmark in it! Notme struck again- that little stinker!

Talk to you pups later!
Arrroooo!

Forget the Tapdancing Lessons

My toenails were getting nice and long and clicky on the kitchen floor. They would have been great for tapdancing. I wanted to take lessons. I like tapdancing, it's loud! And when we watch old movies sometimes when the people tapdance they also sing! I could bark and tapdance!

But I am no longer clicky toenailed. Or fuzzy. Yep, the old dog groomer day was today! I got a mega hair shrink and the toenails are gone. Humph.
