Well this sucks....

I guess I need to learn to read directions better. I recently wrote a post (see below) that honored my little (but bigger) bro Louie Louie, but I accidentally saved it to my account rather than published it. So without further adieu, a very belated Birthday Wish for Lou Who....

************************************************* **********************************************

Hey, y'all! Long time no woof. Today is my bigger little bro's birthday! He's the big 0-4 today and even though I wasn't too thrilled when he showed up on our doorstep lo those many years ago, I sure am happy he's my bro now. Lou, you're fun (when you're not biting me or stealing my stuff/food/bed) and I love playing with you anytime, anywhere. We make a good duo, right? Here's to many more years of fun brotherly love, kiddo. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Love,
Your Big Little Bro, Jack

Tagged....by Brutus!

Well, Louie and I tried to duck and dodge, but Brutus tagged us! (Oh Brutus, you sure can run fast!)

So, tag, we're it!

Whats your name?

Hmmm..."Jack." I think. It might also be "Uh oh."

Any Nicknames?

Snack. Jackie Jack. Hairball. Eyes. Muppet face.

Whats your favorite toy?

Without a doubt, my orange Rogz bone. They don't make 'em anymore, so my mom stocked up on several dozen. But guess what? I don't want any of 'em. Just my one, grody old half chewed up orange bone.

Your favorite treat?

That's a toughie. Anything that resembles chicken. I'm also partial to rice. And occasionally my mommy gives me plain pasta or a small piece of egg or cheese. I had a cracker today. That was good. Basically, I take after my dad and if there's a green veggie in my bowl I don't really want to have anything to do with it.


Were you from a rescue, breeder, etc?

I'm not sure where I was from ORIGINALLY but somehow I wound up on the streets and ended up in a shelter at the ripe old age of 2 months. That was kinda scary. But it all worked out well......


Do you love Dogster?

Let me think....YES!!!!!


AROOOOOOO!!!!!!

All right buddies, I'm gonna be tagging you, start runnin'......

I HAVE NEWS.

Well, I have an announcement. Yesterday was a big, big day for me. It started off as a regular day. Breakfast was uneventful, then I had my morning walk and poop...everything seemed to be in order.

I arrived at My Doggie Daycare Place (aka Jackland) at approximately 8:30 a.m. My father dropped me off. Everything seemed exactly as I left it.

But little did I know something would happen approximately 3.5 hours later that would be SO EPIC it would change my life forever.

Something that in a bazillion years I'd never considered. EVER.

That's right, people. I went in the pool.

Now, I'm not going to lie. I didn't exactly jump in of my own free will. My auntie Jamie was working that day and she vowed to get me in the pool this summer. I had not heard this, obviously, as I would have NEVER let her get within a 20 yards of me ever again.....but she caught me unawares.

She dunked me in and pretty soon I was flying! Well, sort of. I was swimming. SWIMMING, PEOPLE. SWIMMING. ME!!!!!

Apparently, I am an excellent swimmer. I just sort of went with the flow and all the girls who work there were, like, totally impressed with my doggie paddle prowess. Also impressed were the girls of our species, who I *think* thought I was a stud muffin for going in and being all brave and stuff. And they liked my style. My freestyle.

My only concern, and I did talk to mom about this, is that next time I would like some trunks. Maybe board shorts would be good for me. Because, see, when I got out of the water, I was all wet and my fur separated all over and dripped and the girls, they could see EVERYTHING. Which was very embarrassing for me. I ran under a deck chair.

But aside from THAT whole thing....

I SWAM. LIKE A FISHIE. IN DA WATER.

How ya like me now????
