Aussie Tagged

I have been tagged by Virgie! My very nice friend from Australia. I have to name 7 pawsome facts about myself. I have to pick 7 other doggies and tag them by sending them a pmail or rosette announcing that they have been tagged and to read my diary. So here goes:
1. I love to swim
2. I will be 2 years old in November
3. I am a spoiled, only dog
4. I like treats and human food much better than my dog food
5. Mom & Dad have 9 year old twin grandchildren who play with me
6. I have 2 cousins, Bonnie & Asta
7. I am entered in a local newspaper photo contest to be on a calendar

The 7 dogs that I am tagging are: Molly, Hedwig A Adorable, Sakari, Thumper, Yvie, Gibbon and Rowdy.

I've been summer tagged by Buttercup

This is different than the last tag because I only have to name five facts about me (instead of seven) and tag five doggies. So here goes:
1. I am not a lap dog.
2. I go to day care two days a week.
3. In the summer my fur turns a light green from the chlorine in the pool (or perhaps from rolling in the grass when wet). We are not sure.
4. I learned a new trick this week. Daddy points his finger and says BANG and I fall down, roll over and play dead. They never get tired of that one.
5. I am training my pawrents to practically never put me in the crate.
The five dogs that I am tagging are Duncan, Zoe, Tegan, Georgie and Sassy.
I am sorry.

I've Been Tagged by Duncan

Here are the rules of the game. Make a diary entry giving 7 pawsome facts about yourself! Choose 7 pals to tag and list them last! Post the rules of the game. Send your pals a pawmail or a rosette telling them they have been tagged to play the game!
My 7 facts are:
1. I love to swim!
2. I jump super high!
3. I go on 2 mile walks each morning with Mom!
4. I go to Agility Class!
5. I would do any trick for a treat!
6. I love all my toys!
7. I would love to get up close to a kitty cat, but Mom pulls me away!
This is the first time that I have played the game. So I am assuming I cannot choose Duncan since he chose me and I will try to use other dogs besides the ones that he picked.
I choose Bonnie, Asta, Muffin, Paxton, Koho, Ivy and Blizzard! Rosettes are on the way and have fun!

Dog Days of Summer

Not a lot new here. I am in my routine of doggy day care on Mondays and Tuesdays. Wednesdays I go to agility class. Thursdays I have my play date with the other dogs at Animal Outfitters. On the weekends the kids come over to swim with me. Mom entered my picture in a contest that the local newspaper is running to do a pet calendar. There are more than 300 pets entered so we shall see if I stay in the running. Bonnie is going to sleep over on Weds. night so that will be fun. Mom has been working a lot but I have Daddy to play with. Mom became friends with someone on Dogster that also has Eskies and has an Eskie website and she put my picture on it. We also became friends with someone who has a doggy bakery and they are going to send me cookies. YUM! I will share them with Bonnie. I was very hyper at the last agility class. I did things like running into the chute when Kaia was in it already and running up the A Frame before I was told to start and trying to get into everyone's treats. Mom said she is going to make sure I am more tired when I go next time. I had a lot of naps that day because it was raining. Well, I have to go do my lifeguard job. The kids are in the pool and I have to watch them.

The Great Crate Protest

My cousin Bonnie stayed here for ten days. She would not sleep in her crate. Since Bonnie would not sleep in her crate, I refused to sleep in mine, also. Mom slept upstairs in the guest room with both of us for those ten nights. When Bonnie left, Mom decided I could stay out at night and sleep in their room (but not on the bed). This morning she was going to go exercise and she got out my favorite treat that she gives me when I go in the crate. I hopped in the crate and took the treat. She closed the door on the crate and started to leave. I started barking. She left anyways. I continued barking. Daddy got up out of bed and let me out. Round One goes to Bailey! Victory is mine! BOL!

Cousins

I have two doggy cousins. One belongs to my human sister and stayed with us for the last ten days. One is new in the family (just adopted) by my human brother and his wife and I have not met her yet. They live in Chicago which is 150 miles away. This cousin joined Dogster last week and I was so excited to be able to tell other doggies about her. Everyone was friendly and made her feel real welcome. I have to work on my sister to put my other cousin, Bonnie on Dogster, also. Bonnie went home and now I have no one to fight over my toys with. I am going to miss that. Yesterday the kids came over to swim and they brought two friends with them. My day was very exciting because I have to watch these kids at all times when they are in the pool. I patrol the side of the pool and also swim with them. I was very tired when they went home. I hope they come again today since it is going to be hot. Well, got to go - time to go for my morning walk with Mom.

4th of July

Well, like I was having a perfectly good day. My cousin Bonnie is still here and we played outside. Bonnie doesn't swim, but I do so I was swimming and rolling in the dirt and swimming and digging holes and next thing I knew I was having a SHOWER! Not only a shower, but brushing (Yuck) and then getting my teeth cleaned. I thought that this was supposed to be a holiday. I thought holidays were supposed to be fun. There better be a really good treat waiting for me after all this.

Life with Bonnie

My cousin Bonnie has come to stay with us. She came Weds. night and is staying until Friday the 6th. She plays with all my toys and bones but will NOT get in the pool and swim with me. I keep telling her it is a good way to cool off but I can't convince her. Because she won't sleep in her crate, I don't have to either. BOL! Today we played a lot of tug in the yard. So far the kids have not come over to play with us and Mommy has been busy weeding. Maybe if Bonnie sees the kids and me in the pool she will come in. Mommy is looking at me and saying that my fur is turning green from the chlorine in the pool. I think that means a shower is coming up. After the shower there is all that brushing. Then she usually cleans my teeth. I hope she will be too tired from all the yard work and forget. Green is a good color anyways. Another thing I am now a Dogster Plus doggy.

Rainy Days - June 23, 2007

The last few days have been rainy. For some reason no one wants to go outside to swim. I don't understand. I like sun, rain and snow. Its all good. If I go in the pool and get wet, why can't I go in the rain? I hope the sun comes out today. This week my cousin Bonnie is coming to stay with us for a week. I better hide my bones and my good toys because Bonnie is rough with them. Mommy always has to sew them up after Bonnie gets her big teeth in them. I did not have agility class last Wednesday or play day on Thursday so I am looking forward to both this week. My Daddy had some surgery so I have been staying home and keeping him company. I am good company for him. I follow him everywhere and we nap together. I love Daddy.

Father's Day June 17, 2007

Today is Father's Day. David & Shannon came over to swim with me. When they are here I patrol the pool and watch them all the time. I never take my eyes off of them. If I am not watching them, I am swimming with them. Aunt Tracy also came over with her boyfriend and my cousin Bonnie. Her boyfriend also has a dog named Buck. They did not bring him this time. David & Shannon's Mom & Dad were there also. Everybody (except Bonnie) was in my pool today. Then they had a barbeque and Bonnie & I got some steak. I also did my usual job which is being the pre-rinse cycle of the dish washer. Mom tells me I also have a new cousin. Uncle Todd & Aunt Rachel just got a dog from the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago and named it Asta. I hope that they bring it here to meet me. Daddy got some nice presents and he was happy with all the company and cards and gifts. I gave him lots of kisses.
