My first-ever video!

My mom recorded a video of me with dad, yesterday. It was my first-ever video. Not as scary as a camera, so this just might work for me! Hope you like it.

I went Christmas shopping today!

Guess what I did today! I went Christmas shopping with my mom!! There's an outdoor mall nearby that allows dogs in the stores. So, I got to go shopping. While we were there, I also got to sit on Santa's lap and have my picture taken. That was lots of fun, too. The nice ladies at Hallmark gave me a doggy treat. It was a great day for me.

Count me in!

Today, we had a big party at our house. Everyone brought their Nintendo DS games. It was so much fun. I got to sit with Dad all afternoon and help him play games. My favorite game was Nintendogs. Why didn't they include the Chinese Crested breed in that game??

My Haiku

Rescue saved my life.

What screen door?

Good thing my mom and dad love me because I could have been in big trouble otherwise. Mom was getting us dogs ready for our evening walk. I was SO excited about going for a walk. I was jumping up and down and howling. That's pretty much usual for me, though.

Mom said she had to go to the backyard to get something before the walk. I thought I'd better hurry her up. So, I pushed the screen door right out onto the patio! Talk about all access!!!

I still got to go on the walk with Mom, Suzie and Muffie. Dad used a couple of tools and was able to put the patio screen door back on track. Good thing because we don't need flies in the house. I'm afraid of flies.

Fostering a starved Chinese Crested

This is sad. My mom brought home a rescue dog to foster . My mom volunteers with the Rocky Mountain Chinese Crested Rescue. This poor little dog might even be a relative of mine because this starved dog came from a breeder and the dog is in the same condition that I was when the Rescue took him in.

I hope you'll take time to look at the poor thing and read her story. Mom put the information on our dog blog. You'll find it at:

Tomorrow the sweet little girl goes in for tooth surgery. Hope all goes well. We'll keep you posted!

New neighbor is a Boston Terrier

Our new neighbor is a Boston Terrier. Her name is Casey. She is 8 yrs old. Casey came over to our backyard, last night, and visited. I was certainly impressed with her set of jaws! You should have seen her tear up my stuffed toys.

I tried to be neighborly and offer her my toys to play with but when I saw what Casey did to my fleece bone, I ran and hid. I spent the rest of the evening under the patio table and away from Casey.

Nobody said I had to be neighborly to a dog that lacks respect for fleece toys, did they??

Microchipped!

Today was a great day. I was microchipped. (Does that mean I now can be a game of nintendogs??) It didn't hurt at all to have the chip put in me. I was very brave. My mom stroked my ears while I was being chipped. All you dawgs out there, get chipped!
