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.

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!

How does your owner describe you? I'll let her talk now.
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.

My friends that I'm choosing are....Buttons, Maizy and Fancy-Kehleyr.
The Rules: Start out by listing 7 pawsome facts about yourself, then choose some dogs to tag and list their names.
Pmail them to let them know they've been tagged or send them a fun rosette announcing they're tagged. Ask these dogs to check your diary entry.
1. I can curl into such a small ball I disappear on the sofa.
2. I am a toy stealer. I like to steal toys and have all the doggies chase me.
3. My Mommy wanted a Dalmatian since she was about 3. Only took 31 years. She tells me I am everything she ever wanted.
4. I use pillows just like a human and will cover myself with a blankie.
5. I am a master manipulator, I will tilt my head down and bat my eyes and talk and moan and groan until my humans give into me.
6. I am scared of people in hats.
7. I am a UPS/FED-EX/MAILMAN chaser. I will actually chase them down (to get treats.)
It's your turn now !!!

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.

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

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!
