Birdy's Adventures

I am the DOG OF THE WEEK!!!!!! WHOA!!!!!

Holy mole holes batman!!!!!

This is so cool I am the DOG OF THE WEEK!!!!

A whole week of being THE dog!!!!!

Wait till I tell my buddies at the park they are going to be so totally jealous of me! I mean, not only am I super cool, but now I have like a title or something which is totally cool!!!!!

And the next lizard I eat will be honored and stuff and maybe he won't make me chase him to much and just let me eat him!

YEAH!!!!

Mommy always says I am destined for stardom!

But of course I wouldn't be here without the loving support of all my good friends.

I'd like to thank:

Hawt Dog

Hawt Diggity it's hot! My tongue is hanging out and I'm all pooped out but I had fun at the doggy park! Mommy gave me ice cubes, I like to break them up and leave little ice cube surprises around the house for Mommy and Daddy to step on later! BOL! Happy Summer!

Ice Cream Dreams!

Maizy tagged me for Ice Cream Tag...I'm supposed to say what ice cream I am.

I guess I'd have to be Mint Chocolate Chip because I'm light colored and have dark dots all over me.....and when I roll in freshly cut grass (which is oftern...I turn green too!)

Evil Hath Cometh

All right I just want to state for the record that vacuums are evil. Mommy can leave it out and coat it with treats all day long, and I am NEVER going to bond with the vacuum cleaner. I don't care, Mommy, if you flippin' rub steaks all over the dumb thing it is not going to make me react any less frightened in the same room as that hideous sucking beast.

DIE VACUUM DIE!!!!! Thank you, I needed to release that.

Water From The Sky FUN!!!!!

Oh Happy Day!!!! This morning the great water from the sky came down.

Since the doggy police like to bust Mommy's in my neighborhood if we go off leash at the park up the street, usually Mommy will not let me off the leash. Well she did this morning in the great water from the sky event of '09! Oh Happy Day! My second favorite Weimaraner boyfriend Zeus was there and we ran and ran and ran and then when we were done we ran some more. And we even ran in the sandbox and dug some holes!!!! It was totally awesome. AND I got a treat for coming to Mommy every time she called me, with my little spotted ears flapped back in the wind and a big ol grin on my face! It was good times.

Death of a Wubba

Oh dread. My beloved Wubba Kong, the love of my life, beside of course my Mommy, was murdered by my evil boyfriend, Mason the Weimerener.

There we were, at the park having fun and I dared share my Wubba Kong with Mason, and what did that lug do???? HE ATE IT!!!! Chewed it right up in less than 30 seconds.

Oh dear little purple Wubba love, I miss you already...wait, what's that Momma? You got me a new one? Oh..... phewwww, all right go back to what you were doing all is well.

Happy New Year

Wishing all a wonderful, prosperous and fruitful New Year!

I've Been Tagged Again OMD I am soooOOooo Cool

Those of you I have tagged must give us all 7 things we never knew about the spotted or unspotted adorable YOU!

1. I am from Mexico, I was actually adopted once prior to my NOW perfect MOMMY by a woman who had absolutely NO clue whatsoever of how to deal with a wild untrained 6 month old street raised Dalmatian.
2. If I could become ONE with my Mommy I would, I will not let her go EVER.
3. I am a toy stealer who seems to have finally learned my lesson to not steal toys from grumpy dogs... only took 16 stitches and a few work overs to get that point.
4. At every street corner I sit promptly at Mommy's side and then look both ways. People have stopped their cars to comment on my little "trick". Funny thing is Mommy never taught me to look both ways, she did so I did. Mommy thinks I am Einstein.
5. I am an avid TV watcher. I do NOT just react to sounds or animals. I like news and Project runway just as much as the Animal Planet. And I will watch and concentrate on all. Oh and I LOVE the Chargers!!!
6. I moan, groan and purr..even "say" things that can mistaken for words all day long. People think I am a talking dog.
7. Even if Mommy walks me 7 miles.. I must run...when after aa few days of not having RUNS I get let off leash I do what Mommy calls "psycho circles" where I just run so fast and so crazy that you'd think I needed the little men in the white coats to come and give me something.

I tag: Fancy, Fatsolio, Lady Bug, Squirter, Puss, Sam and Shiner!

A Very Birdy Poem

Birdy

Polka dotted dog.
Black and white, with a little pink belly.
A cold wet nose and she never gets smelly.

She brings smiles to faces of those who walk by,
she does somersaults in the park;
catches balls on the fly.

Her caramel eyes will melt the coldest of hearts,
and it's hard to stay mad when she eats sofa parts.

When not watching TV or practicing tricks,
she will cuddle in your lap and give you a kiss.

Dear dotted dog.
White and black, with a smile that glows.
Together we'll walk down life's winding roads.

-Birdy's Mommy

My Big Bro Diggz @ The Bridge

2 years ago today my big bro Diggz went to the Bridge. Mommy misses him a lot. She got all weepy earlier looking at his picture, the one with his tongue stuck out at the camera. He looks like a goof ball to me. I never met him but Mommy is always telling me what a paragon of perfection he was.

Mommy tells me that we'd have been really good buddies. I wish I'd met him. I'd have even shared my Wubba Kong with him.

A thousand licks and a million booty sniffs for my big bro Diggz.

The Morning After

Well I got my purple Wubba Kong and it is so super cool. I have slept with it, chased it, chewed it, loved it, hugged it and even shared my breakfast with it. My chi hath been aligned.

This Is It!!!

OMD OMD OMD!!! This is it, the big guy is coming to town TODAY! I am so excited I almost exploded at the grass area on the hill this morning. I ran and ran and ran...just looking for the big guy.

I have been an exceptionally good girl this year, didn't chew anything up, was nice to everyone at the mall yesterday and have been getting up and leaving the room to fart for the last few weeks.

Merry Christmas everyone, may Santy Paws bring you a thousand steaks.

OMD Santa Paws is Coming To Town

I am soooOOOoooOOOooo excited. Today we go to Granma and Granpaws house where I will be spoiled and hugged and kissed and loved all day long by tons of people, and Mommy accidentally dropped my stocking on the way to the car and guess what!!!! Inside was a KONG the wubba ones with the fabric on it all purple and glorious. I think there was tons of other stuff in there as well. OMD I am so excited.

Right now I am pressed like a magnet to my Mommy's side to make sure she doesn't forget to "pack" me in the car. Can't let her get more than 6 inches away, lest she forget me here. I mean one could easily over look a 61 pound spotted spaz.

Granma and Granpaws house has a school where I can run off leash and they have a heater too. So I will be warm without 3 big blankies piled up on me. But I do like the cold because Mommy and Daddy cuddle me up right between them at night and hug me and kiss my snout.

I heard Mommy say something about turkey as well oh boy oh boy!!!

I am really liking this Santy Paws guy.

Merry Christmas to all my Dogster pals. Hope you get all your favorite toys and enjoy the love and warmth of the season.

-Birdy the Wonder Dog

Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful

All right this is out of control. First we have all the water from the sky. And the wind.

Now there is crispy white stuff on the grass at the park. I mean COME ON!!! I am a Baja dog, we don't have no stinkin crispy white stuff. It's supposed to be 73 and balmy with a light onshore breeze.

Mommy called the crispy white stuff "frost", all I know is that it made my delicate paws all cold and made weird noises.

Bah Humbug.

Wet Dog

The water from the sky is falling again today and while I have not minded it so much in the past this water from the sky is cold. I do not like it.

Mommy keeps walking and walking and walking like some kind of crazed or possibly rabid animal. I mean look lady I'll poop when I darn well feel like it and right now I'm not into it OK!!!! Do you hear me??? NO POOP NOW!!! See if you like pooping in the freezing cold rain. Crazy lady.

My Stocking and Morning Adventures

Mommy hung my stocking from the ceiling with care, in hope that my snout stays miles from there.

We wented to the Petsmart this morning and I gots treats but the evil vacuum cleaner of death was right by the door, boy did that rain on my parade. How dare the evil vacuum cleaner of death be in MY STORE!!!!

We also met two really nice homeless men. They were Vets. My Mommy said it wasn't the bad kind of vet that pokes you, but rather the good kind that served his country. It made Momma sad that they were homeless, so she let them pet me and talk to me for a while. They really liked that and Mommy let them give me a couple of my special treats from her pocket. One of them was really excited, he said he hadn't pet a doggy in a real long time and I thought that was super sad. Mommy promised to bring me back soon.

It was a fun walkies this morning, I'd have liked to walked further but Mommy's akillfleas tendon thingy is all ouchy.

Now I all tucked in under my squishy yellow blankie in what Mommy and Daddy call the Dalmatian Burrito. It is cold, all the way in the 50's. Burrrrr.....Mommy wonders how I managed on the streets of Tijuana Winter '06. I do NOT like being cold, and prefer massive cuddling and warm blankies.

Toodle Ooooooo!

Thanksgiving 2008!

Whoooo Hoooo!!! This was my second Thanksgiving and it was a doozy! I gots me some turkey, some gravy and Mommy found this Nutro pumpkin pie for me too!

I pretended to be all cute and innocent while my pawrents and granpawrents ate dinner, but I was plotting the whole time. Cuter I was the more they slipped me some meat under the table. I rock!

Hope everyone had an awesome Turkey Day

My Kitty Friend

Mommy has been lucky to introduce me to 3 cats who are very dog friendly, so I don't want to eat the little kitties I meet.

I do however really want to play with them, and this sometimes leads to me running hell bent for leather after them. Makes Mommy mad when I rip her arm out of the socket.

Anyway, yesterday we were walking back to the house after visiting my friend Bhodi in his new home and this bold orange and white fluffball sauntered (and I mean SAUNTERED) right up to me.

I looked at Mommy like,"Yo what is this cat thinking?" But Mommy just said little dog, little dog (her code for play gentle) so I let this fluffball come up to me and gave it a sniff. It meowed right in my ear and that made me jump a little, because I know cats aren't little dogs, but I am not really sure what category they fall into.

Anyway the kitty wound its way through my legs gave my feet a bath then proceeded to rub his cheek on mine, rubbing and licking me too. Mommy was muttering loudly that she really wished she' brought her camera. Because she said as we walked on home that it was probably the cutest darn thing she ever saw in her life.

Duh, I already know I am the cutest thing in the word. Duh Mommy.

Birdy is my world. She lights up everyone's day. The way she curls into a tight little ball with her snout on her butt. She talks and my parents swear she speaks English. With her uh huh's and chatty cathy ways.

When I lost Diggz the day after Christmas 2006, I never thought I'd want another dog as long as I lived....especially one with spots, the pain was so bad. But when my friend e-mailed me Birdy's pic from Petfinder.com, my heart did a little bump bump. So I called them and they brought her to me to do a home check, when I saw her sitting in the passenger seat like the little princess she is, I knew she was mine.

We are extremely close. She is like my shadow. The only time she is naughty is when we are at the park and she ignores me because she gets so focused on playing. Pisses me off but then that only lasts like 3 seconds when she turns her full wattage on. She bats her little white eyelashes with those caramel colored eyes at me and I AM toast!

There is nothing in the world like being owned by a Dalmatian. They are the most special dogs in the world.

Well my Mommy finally took me back to the beach. The first time, I was scared of the water. But this time I decided to party like a rock star and just dive in!

Well I sure did, the waves were pretty scary, but I soldiered on and found that you can get free food from them!

Yup, free food comes right out of all that water! Mommy was chatting away, and didn't see me haul in the food, but she sure got excited when I came over to show her the nice big fat fresh fish I'd caught in the waves.

I'm pretty sure her was screaming and chasing me around out of pure joy at my catch. But frankly, Mommy has been a bit stingy with my meals and treats lately because she said I was "porking up". So you know what???? I didn't share a single bite with Mommy!

WALK FOR THE ANIMALS

I smell a RAT!

Mommy and me, we like to go walkies every morning and yesterday was no exception. We were pounding the pavement having a glorious time, sniffing the air, scanning for potential four legged playmates, when all of a sudden I saw something that I knew I MUST HAVE and share with my mommy!

Mommy was really busy singing Christmas carols (I know it's weird she sings them even in October) and not paying attention to me, but I saw it and scooped it right up and promptly brought it to mommy for sharing. I am such a good girl, I know, I get told that all the time between bouts of sofa chewing and bed destruction.

Mommy smiled at me,and I was so pleased to offer her this gift. But WHOA!!! When mommy saw what I had in my mouth, did she go crazy or WHAT!!! I was sure I had heard mommy go nutso before, but she screamed DROP IT and LEAVE IT so loud, I am sure my brothers and sisters still in Mexico could hear her. Well of course I spit it out, it was for her! Ptooooey!

I just don't know what her problem was, it was a spiffy, slightly petrified and I must add, still chewy, dead rat. Boy, my mommy needs to chill.
