I have a new Foster Sister

My Mom and Dad volunteered to foster another Keeshond who was badly neglected. We call her Shadow because she likes to stay in the bathroom where it is cool and dark. They told us she is afraid of fire works and thunder and doesn't like going outside in the dark. She walks with us in the mornings but she will not go with us at night. Mom tries to talk her into going with us but she will run out the front door, squat, does wee wee, and runs back inside. So right now she is only taking one walk a day while Sandee and I take 2 walks a day. Anyway if you know anyone that would love to give Shadow a forever home please contact us via email. She needs a study and loving environment so she can feel l0ved and wanted.

Boom Booms

Wednesday night there was some loud noises that my sister and I didn't like hearing. They went boom and pop pop so we just kept on barking to get them to stop. Mom kept telling us that if we didn't stop running in and out of the doggy door and barking she would "tranc" us. Well talking to us didn't do the trick so Mom gave us a piece of hot dog with a little white tablet in it. Well an hour later we got really sleepy and tired and when the boom booms went off we didn't care anymore! Anyway I think that was the best nights sleep I've had in a long time.

Mom I don't smell???

Well here we go again having to take that nasty shower with all that water and soap. I have to say this is not my favorite thing to do. Mom said I smelled a bit "doggy" so off goes my collar and I'm marched into the bathroom. I tell you this bathing thing is just wrong. Anyway I decided I was out voted once Mom got me into the bathroom and shut the door. Mom stood in the shower stall and called me and I stepped into the shower all by myself. Thats when she said to me "Good Girl Abby, Good Girl. It worked out as a hot day anyway and it did feel nice and cool to be a bit damp part of the day.

Visiting My Aunt and Uncle

Mom took me over to my Aunt and Uncle's house to visit. I like visiting because there is all kinds of new smells to find. They let me play in their yard while they were outside looking at the fruit trees. When it was time to go home I did my happy circles while Mom put my leash on. Then back into the car (I love riding in the car) and back home. I took a long nap until we got a block from my house. I then smelled my house and woke up. Anyway it was great to visit but at the same time it is great to be home again.

I didn't know it wasn't for me???

Well I once again got in trouble this weekend. When Mom and Dad got home they found that the cat had knocked down Mom's fanny pack onto the floor. When he pushed it on the floor I figured it was mine to play with. I proceeded to chew the straps off of it and drag it outside onto the grass so when the sprinklers came on it got wet. Oh well it was no longer in condition for Mom to use anyway!!! The next day Mom had gone shopping and bought a wonderful smelling loaf of freshly baked french bread. When she and Dad went out to do something I surfed the counter for that great aroma. Yes and you guessed it! I reached and grabbed the bread proceeding to take that outside and eat some of it and then drag the remaining half through the planters. When Mom and Dad got home they found an empty bread package on the floor and a half eaten loaf of bread in the middle of the lawn. Mom was afraid I would get dough belly and lots of gas for a few hours after that. But I didn't have too much discomfort or problems with any indigestion.

My Foster Sister-Sunny

I had a foster sister by the name of Sunny who also was a full bred Keeshond. She lived with Sandee and I for 7 months. She was much older then me and didn't like to play. One day some nice lady and man came to see her and they wanted to give her a forever home. They also sent her to Doggy College for basic training. She just graduated on May 5th. I put a picture of her on my family page.

Another Day at the Doggy Park

I went to the doggy park today and met a new friend. He was what you call a dobie. He liked to play alot because is only 7 months old. Also he had funny looking ears . His Dad said they had clipped his ears and set them up with sticks and tape???? Anyway I'm glad my parents didn't have that silly thing done to me. I have great ears and they can hear lots of stuff Mom and Dad can't really hear. I also saw my friends, Macky, Ashley, Mulan, Geebee and Petey. Anyway I played alot and got kind of tired so Mom and Dad took me home so I could take my nap.

Flowers in the Yard

A couple days ago my Mom planted some orange and yellow flowers. She called them Marigolds. She looked at me when she was finished planting and said "Abby this is a NO NO". So I guess I'm not to eat, dig, or pull them out??? Geez that no fun at all. They are so preatty and I would love to bring them in the house to show the cats. Anyway we will see how long I can contain myself from playing with those preatty flowers.

Doggy Park on Sunday

Mom took me over to the doggy park again today. I met a new friend who was a Sheba Inu. He was lots of fun because he would let me chase him around. I also met 2 other new friends, 2 brothers that were Beagles. Anyway I played for a good 30 minutes and then I got a bit tired. Dad had walked me and Sandee earlier in the morning so I was already a bit spent. I walked over to Mom and we sat and watched the other dogs play and then it was time to go home. When I got home Sandee was excited to see me because she stayed home with Dad.

At the park

I went to the doggy park today with Dad and Sandee. I was so glad to see my park friends because I hadn't seen them for a few weeks. I was standing in the park trying to figure out who to play with next when this big old wienminer (sp?) came over to me and slimed me. It was yukky and I just decided I wasn't going to play with him. Anyway while I was socializing with my pals Dad visited with all the pet parents. Sandee doesn't really like to play and run like I do so she just stood next to Dad. Sandee is my older sister and she gets tired easily because she is now 10 years old and will be 11 in September. Anyway I had fun and I hope Mom and Dad take me back tomorrow so I can play with my friends again.
