Life is a Movie Starring ME!

Naked is as naked does


November 7th 2007 10:20 am   [link to this entry]

So there's some buzz around this Naked Pit Bull Calendar that Bad Rap did to raise money for all the dogs.

I don't see what the big deal is. I'm naked all the time. In the calendar I'm wearing my favorite collar, though...

Gunther is also in the calendar, but I'm the star of the shot. My mom is in the picture too - and she's not wearing any clothes or a collar of any kind. I didn't really notice until the people started noticing, but I was having too much fun playing Frisbee in the waves to care much about people staring at us. I just figured they recognized me from Dogster!

Anyway, please buy a calendar and help support all my dog pals in the Bad Rap program that don't have homes yet.

Gunther is also in a Kids & Pit Bulls calendar that will be out soon - and he's on the cover! I wasn't even asked to be in that one; I guess Mom doesn't want me getting overexposed.

So I suppose I'll be happy for Gunther. But I'm making sure that he remembers who the real star in this family is; we can't possibly have two superstars. I am Matt Dillon and Mark Wahlberg and Julia Roberts and Ben Affleck, people! Gunther can be Kevin and Donny and Eric and Casey. (Well, Casey Affleck is actually cuter and arguably more talented than Ben Affleck - so let's scratch that one.)

Tag! I'm it.

Mom is woefully inept at keeping up with my Dogster profile. She just noticed this tag game and hasn't been very good at accepting friend requests, either. Sheesh!

If I had opposable thumbs I'd do this myself, but alas. It's so hard to find good help these days...

Anyway, I guess there's a game of tag going along, and my pal Frodo tagged me. This is from Frodo's diary on the rules:

"Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged need to post the rules of the game and 7 pawsome facts about themselves in their diary. Then once you are tagged, you choose 7 dogs to tag, listing their names in your diary. Don’t forget to bark your friends pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary for the rules -- or better yet, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been tagged!"

OK, so 7 random factoids about me, Pandora, WCD 2007 and ever-s0-much-more deserving of attention than dear, dim Gunther:

1) I figured out as a puppy that the morning potty break was followed by Mom leaving the house, and went through a phase of hemming and hawing and overall stalling and/or refusing to honor my morning constitutional in order to delay her leaving me and going off to boring work.
2) I figured out how to climb an X-pen at 10 weeks old, the first day we had it.
3) I'm not supposed to do the daredevil leaps like I used to, because it's bad for my joints and sometimes I limp afterwards if I play too hard (boo).
4) My favorite lay-spot (other than Mom's bed) is an old decorative orange pillow that used to be on The Human Bed. Since I love it so much, Mom turned it into a dog bed for me.
5) I like chasing squirrels with Gunther, but I've never caught one.
6) I hate the rain. Hate. The. Rain. A. Lot.
7) I have a Labrador-like coat and shed constantly, driving Mom Up The Wall and necessitating a Roomba purchase. (Note: 7a - the Roomba doesn't really bother me unless it's coming straight at me, in which case I move away from the strange, moving robotic disc vacuum.)

Dunno who I'm tagging yet. I'll post after I do, I'm not terribly proficient at HTML and figuring out how to link to people is kinda hard for me.

OK, here's who I tagged:

Hooter
P.F. Chesterfield
Kato
Betty
Trixie
Kozmo
Chibi

Rave: Paco collars


January 26th 2007 2:36 pm   [link to this entry]

Mom just got me a new collar. I like it.

Thing is, I may like my old collar better, because it's named after me. Who else has a custom dog collar named after them?

(Well, OK - Gunther does too.)

Gunther also got a new collar, but mine is better. It has heart-shaped decorations with pink bling and flowers in them, and it's a reddish-brown leather. Gunth's has horseshoes with blue on black leather.

Mine is ever-so-much more girlish.

Anyway, what I love even more than my new and old collar is Ana, who runs Paco collars. Auntie Ana lets me come over and cruise around the studio while all her minions work away to make handmade dog collars for lots of happy pooches.

Ana also donates a lot of collars to the pit bull rescue that saved me, so that the foster dogs and the dogs at Pit Bull Hall can all look fancy.

They of course don't look quite as fancy as I do, and they don't have collars named after them or anything, but they're still looking pretty good in nice thick leather collars, which is better than old stinky nylon any day.

Anyway, that's my rave of the day. I love Paco collars, my new collar, and Ana. I even like Paco a lot, but don't tell him I told you so or he'll get a swelled head.

I'm the World's Coolest!

Mom has finally gotten around to telling me that I'm the world's coolest dog, as voted upon by all my Dogster pals! Thanks Dogster pals!

Gunther is pretending not to be jealous. Silly boy, of course he wouldn't stand a chance in any contest against *me. Sheesh.

Anyway, I would like to thank everyone again for their votes. That picture of me is not really the most flattering pic of me (you can't even see my girlish figure), but I was very happy when it was taken. Dribbling soccer balls with my head is my favorite pasttime; it's ever so much more fun when Gunther's not around to interfere with the game and turn it into "chase," but you know how boys are. Sigh.

Mom would like everyone to note the blade of grass sticking sideways off my left eye, because apparently she finds that very funny. Whatever floats your boat, Mom.

I hear that I get a Target gift certificate, and you can be sure that Mom will be spending that in the Pets section! Otherwise I'll pout (not that you can tell, with my stylish underbite and all - I kind of pout all the time, it's my look), and I shall tattle on her via my blog.

Thanks to Dogster, all my pals, and even Gunther, for making me look so fabbo in comparison. (Sorry Gunther, but we all know who the superstar is.)

Wags and many many many licks,

Pandora, CGC, WCD (World's Coolest Dog)

Hey, I'm a finalist!

Yay! Mom tells me that I've made the finals in the World's Coolest Dog and Cat Contest!

Gunther was not so lucky. I tried to manage his expectations by letting him know that the family can only have one superstar, but he never listens. Boys...

Anyway, I'm in the Best Smile and Best Jumper categories, but of course I'm more interested in Best in Show.

Dogster doesn't aggregate the votes, so if you want to vote for me (and who doesn't?) you should vote for the "Smile" pic, which I think is really a more flattering photo of me than the "Jumper" pic anyway.

Thanks everyone for all the support! Power to the pitties and all the other mutts out there!

Vote for me!

I had to bug mom to enter me in the World's Coolest Dog contest.

I don't know what took her so long. Hellooooooo - live is a movie starring me, people!

Anyway, I'm entered in Best Smile, Best Jump and Best Friends. Though I think the Best Friends pic is entered for Gunther - whatever, if Gunther needs help with my picture, well, I suppose that's fine. We all know who the superstar in the family is...

Here's ME!

And here's Gunther, but be sure not to vote for the smile pic, since that's ME! I dunno what happened, but we have got to get that down. Seriously people, work with me.

Here's Gunther

Yes, I'm a slacker

Mom has been out of town foreeeeever and she took the computer, so I've been unable to communicate with all my Dogster pals. (She hogs that thing like crazy when she's home anyway. What does a dog have to do to get in some blog time?) Turns out Mom was busy cavorting around Germany and Amsterdam, where apparently I am not allowed due to my breed. Harumph. Who wants to live in Europe anyway? I can't bark in German or Dutch. Though I bet blondes have more fun there - especially blondes with sassy sweaters and boas to make it through the cold winters.

Rain, rain, go away


May 8th 2005 12:29 pm   [link to this entry]

It's raining, and I'm torn. I'm bored, but I hate the rain. Gunther hates the rain too. So do I beg Mom to take us out and play Frisbee - which will surely get us wet and likely result in a Horrible Hose Off at the end of it - or be content with napping and playing with my toys today?

Gunther wants to go out, because Gunther is fairly short-sighted and always forgets about the Horrible Hose Off that always results after rainy day play sessions. Good thing I'm here to remind him about these things.

Risk:reward ratios must always be weighed when it's raining.

Oh yeah, apparently we're going to be in Weekend Magazine at some point this month. My only complaint is that the staff photographer at the office seems to favor Gunther, for no reason whatsoever. Harumph! But, I think that I got my fair share of airtime this time around.

OK, I think I'm going to have a pow wow with Gunth and discuss the play situation. Maybe if we don't get too muddy we can avoid the hose...

Who needs opposable thumbs?


May 7th 2005 9:28 pm   [link to this entry]

Well, Mom didn't tell Gunther and me that we had mail and diary capabilities on Dogster these days! I knew she was holding back on us.

Anyhoo, I'd like to give a shout-out to all the other dawgs out there on Dogster, and apologize for our tardiness in answering messages. Now that I know people are clamoring for my attention (who can blame them?), I'll be happy to answer any and all inquiries, accept any pals that stroll my way, and of course accept any admiration folks want to heap on me.

I also want to lick your face. Yes, I'm talking to you! ;)
