Life is an adventure!

Hello everyone,

I have missed all my friends:) I hope everyone is doing well. Mom is going to order me some turtles to play with, my friend Camper told her were to get them a while ago and she finally had time to find them. I am excited. Thanks Camper, your the best.

So everyday has been a new adventure. I love soccer, football and running like crazy. (Mom says I have destroyed 11 soccerballs and footballs in a short time) I don't care if they are flat and ripped thay still are fun to play with:) I am digging huge holes still, ripping stuffed toys like crazy and can kill a tennis ball in 3 minutes flat. I am impressed with this time since it take Sundar a week.

We have walked at the park, went to the dog park, met new puppies and gotten to go on car rides. I found out what a funeral was, how to love humans that are very sad, learned new commands, discovered this thing called Easter and had my first birthday.

My 1 year birthday was March 25th. I got a new soccer ball, frosty paws, a long walk and a new crate. (I love my crate it has sooo much room) Sundar says I am 1 year wiser and he has decided that I am doing well. He is very wise and is much more tolerant of me licking his face constantly. He is also running around with me now which makes me excited.

As for Easter, we got cookies, a new toy and colored eggs. (Mom says we will never get eggs again, it gives us bad gas) I also got to meet a Easter bunny named George. Although he says he was not the Easter bunny he is just a bunny. I kept checking his butt for colored eggs, he got very annoyed with me. Mom said he was just a bunny that we were watching for a friend and he went home now. I was sad to see him go.

Mom and Dad said we might also get a new house. I have never lived anywhere but here and am a little nervous about going someplace else. Sundar says not to worry, he has moved 6 times in 9 years because mom and dad had to move every year when they were in college. He explained that this house would beours and not something mom and dad rent. Mom sasy it will have a big yard and ton more room for me to run. I have never had a big yard, so that makes me excited. A place to RUN!!!! Yah!! That is ssooo much fun. Sundar says we have never had a big yard so he is excited too. Mom asked that we only dig in one spot, that os course will be hard. This means we might move in May, if a termite inspetion goes well.

I have no idea what a termite is and Sundar can only say they are a bug. I do not know why we have to worry about bugs, I love to chase and eat them, so I can take care of these things called termites. Dad says they are not the same and I can not take care of them. I was just trying to help.

The bad things I still do is putting my paws on the counter, jumping up on people and barking at other dogs when I am on a leash. Mom says these are bad manners and I need to learn not to do them. She says the counter is off limits. She just does not understand the smells are sooo tempting. I also get soooo excited when new people come to visit, I just want to give them kiss. Mom says everyone does not want my kisses. The barking scares people at the park. I look like a crazy attack dog. The bad part is it only happens when I am on a leash. At the dog park I am everyone's friend. People think I will hurt their dog and never give me a chance to say hello. So mom does not know how to stop me from doing this. (If anyone has advice please help) I ust want to be everyones friend.

I hope all my friends are enjoying spring, flowers are neat. Stay healthy and happy.

Lots of kisses and barks hello, Mishka

Holes! Holes! Holes!

The snow is gone and I have discover that within 2 point 2 seconds I can dig a huge hole. YES!! I love the dirt. Mom fills them in and I dig them bigger and better than before. We have four huge craters in the middle of the yard. Mom has filled them in and I tried to tell her not to worry about it becuase I will just dig them again.

Mom is pondering why when she fills the holes in they are never completely full. It seems that some of the dirt disappears into thin air. Hee hee. She just does not know that is because I kick it so hard it sprinkles all over the yard and some always has to stick to my paws, face and belly. What fun! She really hates when she is ready for work and I give her a kiss goodbye. Yes muddy paws all down her clean work clothes. I think it is a fashion statement, she does not. I hear MISHKA OFF!! CRAZY Dog you know better. Then I feel bad because she is right I do know better. Tala says if I keep doing this mom will put me on a leash and not let me run in the yard un supervised. I think Tala just wants to scare me, well I hope she is trying to scare me. I like running around the yard free to play soccer and football.

I just can not help that I just love life,dirt, water, snow, rain and sun. It all makes me sooo happy. I am trying to teach mom and dad to live in the moment and enjoy each and everyday.

So to all my friend, enjoy every moment, live life to the fullest, beg for people food and get tons of kisses.

Sending everyone a wish for a wondeful week, Mishka

New and exciting things

Everything has been a new adventure.

Tala kept telling me about this stuff called snow. I finally have gotten to see it and enjoy it. I did not understand that when I caught this white stuff in my mouth it would disappear. I must have tried a dozen times to make it just stay in my mouth when I caught it. (I thought it would be like these white bugs that I catch and eat). I like eating, chasing and smashing bugs. I was just in complete shock that this stuff called snow did not taste like a bug.

So, then I ran around the yard scooping up big mouthfuls of this white stuff-it disappeared too. Mom and dad laughed at me and I would just look at them with my white beard and frozen whiskers. Since they laughed so hard, I kept playing this game for about a half an hour. Then I discovered my soccer ball was hidden under the snow. I dug it out and begged mom and dad to throw it.
(Mom has to take it away or I forget to go potty because all I can focus on is my soccer ball). Soccer is fun in the snow, the ball just slides across the ground for long distances.

Tala says I have a husky heart because I would spend hours with her playing in the snow. We even went to the dog park and played in the snow. Mom says that is why she got sick. (I made her promise to put the pictures on my web page soon).

Then I have learned about birthdays and this love holiday. We got ice cream and heart cookies. Mom even gave everyone a kiss and a hug to celebrate use being a part of her life. (although I think she forgot we get kisses everyday). Sundar told me he is now 1 year older and wiser than me. He says I will understand when I have my first birthday. I guess I have to agree with him because he is very smart and he always follows the rules. I often forget the rules and get myself into trouble.

I have also learned I love kitty poop. It tastes soo good. Mom is not happy. She tries to catch me when I sneak into the litter box (I am to smart for her, I hear her and lay in the sun, pretending I did not do anything wrong) She says the litter on my nose gives it away. Dad has gotten sneaky and caught me 2 times (I need to try and out smart him). Mom says she hates that I have been eating poop. She does not understand just how good it tastes.

I also have learned to check the trash, mom really hates this. I have learned not to pull anything out of the trash or mom will yell or pick it up so I can not reach it. She is no fun.

I also hate when mom gets sick. I hate not going for walks or getting to play. So hopefully mom stays healthy.

Well hope all my friends have a wonderful holiday.

Want fun

Things have been fun. I got a new soccer ball. I use to have a volleyball but I ripped it up) Mom and da thought a soccer ball would last longer. (I fooled them it only lasted an hour before I popped it) I still can not stop playing with it. Mom had to take it away to make me go potty. I just wanted her to keep kicking it and catching it in my mouth.

I also got these new dog bowls. They are on a stand. Mom says it is to keep me from having my stomach turn over inside me. (What ever that means). I just think it is neat to put water in my mouth and dribble it all over the floor. Mom says she can never keep her socks dry. I just give her a big doggy smile when she says some words and takes off her socks.

Hope everyone has a great week.

My first Christmas

Well this thing called Christmas is over. What fun!! The new toys and all the excitement. Lots of people, new friends and presents. I have already ripped up my new toys and enjoyed every minute. Grandma gave me people food even though mom and dad say it is not a good idea. I loved all the smells and mom and dad said they are proud of me for not jumping up on anyone the entire holiday. They say I am become a big girl and I might knock someone down. (It was hard to contain my excitement).

I hope all my friends had a wonderful holiday season and I hope they had warm beds to sleep in, enough food to fill their tummies and a loving family to give them a kiss on the head before going to bed at night.

Love, Mishka

Christmas and the Dog Park

Everything has been soo exciting around here. There are theses shining objects under the tree and they make wonderful noises when you rip the paper. I can not wait for this thing called Christmas. Mom gave me a small introduction after the dog show. She brought home big bones and new toys. I ripped the monkey and pulled out the stuffing within an hour of having the present. It was so fun:)

We went to the dog park after Sundar's vet appointment. I ran until I could not run anymore. It was so fun.

I just met my cousin Sam. He did not like me at first. He growled a lot and snapped at my face. We have finally become friends and have not stopped playing since he got to my house.

Merry Christmas to all my friends and be safe for the holidays.

Love Mishka

The Christmas Tree

I was so excited we have this tree in the house. At first, I thought that mom and dad brought it in for me to have as many sticks as I wanted. They got frustrated that I kept taking pieces to chew on, but it felt good on my gums.
I have continued to knock off these things that mom calls ornaments. They are just so much fun watch fall I can't resist. After about one day of getting told to stay away from the tree I finally learned that I am just suppose to look at it. Mom and dad say I am being very good and they are proud of me.

I have continued murdering toys, dad gave in and gave me a tug rope before Christmas. (I knew I could convince someone that I needed new toys to play with) I was happy to chew it into two pieces within the first twenty minutes of having it. Mom laughed and said she would need to find me some duriable toys at the dog show. I don't know what that is, but my siblings say mom will come back smelling like all kinds of new dogs and she always brings surprises for us when she comes back. Mom also said that a friend is going to let us out to play and go potty while she is gone. I hope she brings her puppy because we love to wrestle with each other.

I want to wish all my friends a happy holiday season and hope to talk soon.

My brother is back

Well Sundar came home today. I celebrated by ripping up a stuffed squirrel, stuffed pelican and another duck. I was so proud of myself. I layed in the middle of the stuffing and just smiled at my accomplishment. Mom tried to explain that I did not need to make it look like it snowed in the house and I wouldn't get any new toys until Christmas. I don't care, it was fun and Sundar seemed to enjoy it becuase he jumped on the furniture and chased me around the house when I was finished.

I have been eyeing the stuffed warthog and thing it may need surgery next.

My brother is sick

Well Sundar went to the vet today and he had to stay the night. I miss him. (Just because I like to steal his food when he isn't looking and take his tennis ball so he will chase me). All the same I love him and I am keeping his bed warm while he is gone.

Destruction

Well mom says I have a web site. As she was trying to type, I decided that needed some attention. So I ripped up my stuffed duck in the front room. (Stuffing everywhere what fun). Then I found this neat noise maker inside. It use to sound like a duck (not anymore) It is in a million pieces all over the floor. Mom was not happy that I took it apart. She explained that the small plastic pieces could hurt me. I just wanted to find out how it worked and the cracking noises it made as I took it apart where exciting. She picked up all the pieces and checked my mouth, since I love to hide things in my gums. Then she explained that we should go out side and burn some energy. So out we go.

Well hello to everyone who decided to be my friend. I will keep you updated about the latest trouble that I get myself into.
