Tag!!!

I was "tagged" by good pal Deshi … He says I have to list 7 things about myself and post it in my diary and then tag 7 more pals to do the same.

The object of this game of tag is to learn some more things about your friends. You are supposed to list 7 things about yourself and post it in your diary. Then pick 7 friends to pass it on to and have them do the same thing.

Here are my 7 things.....

1. I have my own bed, right next to my master's. It's soft, fluffy and oversized.

2. I have an older Shepherd mix brother, Ben.

3. I go out for an AM walk and a PM walk; but I especially love it when Mom takes me for hikes on the weekend!

4. My favorite treats are bully sticks.

5. My frenchy cousins: Doc and Portia frequently come over for sleep over parties. I love that!

6. I love saying hello to little kids. They are so cute!

7. I still get carsick.

I am tagging the following 7 pups...

1. Keeks

2. Tia

3. Tsuki

4. Suki

5. Dakota

6. Haun

7. Tikka

2. Kid Patrol - When I see young kids playing, screaming or just being - I'll be sure to make their presence known by going over and kissing them with a Yoda-like smile on my face.

3. Trail inspector - I make sure that our hiking trails don't have any lizards to freak out our party, by chasing them under rocks!

Meeting Wile E.

Last night, I was outside with my pet human, chasing around that nasty laser. I was just starting to get tired, but was panting pretty hard when I saw a weird looking dog in the street.

I think it wanted to play with me! My human kept saying "shoo! shoo!" and was yelling at the weird looking dog. She said it was a "coyote"! It was a bit bigger than I was (but not as large as my brother), but I sure did want it to come close so that I could play. Mom is such a meanie... she scared him away.

Once he ran away, I was so excited that I started to zoom around the yard!

Yummy stinky food

Mom came home today with the smelliest, yummiest food ever. I think it might even be better than cat poop!

Today was her day to go and volunteer at the raw food distribution site. She left early in the morning and didn't even take me for a walk!!! But, she came back before noon with the best thing I've ever eaten in my whole (albeit short) life! She kept mumbling that it smelled like cow manure, but OHHHH BOY, was it ever yummy!!!!

Hurray for green tripe! May it be in my food bowl for the next few weeks...

On this joyous day....

I have 2 words~ DOG BEACH!!!!!!

Woooo hooo!

Laser Tag

OOOOO boy.... I got a new toy, and it's a blast to play with! It's a laser toy that darts around in the night, in the front yard and it's FAAAST! One of these days, I'm gonna catch it! I chase it around for at least a half hour and then I'm amped up looking for it in the house, in the backyard, in the front yard, everywhere...

It's my favorite toy, the bestest toy, the fastest toy and did I tell you I loved it? (My pet human says it was also one of the cheapest toys ~ whatever that means!)

Okay... gotta go... It's getting dark and the laser will be shining brightly tonight.

Kick-kick-kick

For the past two days, I try to kick grass on my poop. Pooping is a private thing for me, and I have to find the perfect spot. On my morning walk and evening walk, we will walk up and down several streets before I decide on a spot. It has to be the perfect spot, near the edge of the grass and sidewalk. The grass can't be too long, and it can't be wet. And, to be sure that it's the perfect spot, I turn around and around and around and around and around. And then, I decide it isn't perfect. So we walk a bit more until I find another perfect spot. (And sometimes, I start to get desperate and just poop while walking and circling!)

Once I've completed the poop ritual, and since it's a perfect spot, and since it took me so long to find it, and because it's a private experience - I've been trying to cover up the poo with grass. So, I'll kick with my right hindleg, and my left hindleg, and my right hindleg, over and over again. My pet human wondered why I didn't do that sooner. (I guess all of my great Shiba aunties and uncles used to do that.) Perhaps it was an instinctive thing, or all of a sudden, I felt compelled to do it? But now, I kick and kick and kick after searching and searching for the perfect poop place. I'm turning into a picky Shiba afterall...

Bonding with my cousins

Yesterday, mom decided to take me to my cousins' home while she and her sister went to a football game. It was a little weird at first, because I wasn't sure why they were leaving us behind. But I had so much fun with my cousins, Portia and Doc. They are much smaller and stockier than I am, with not much fur. They are from France (French bulldogs) and are so different from me. They snore when they nap and hop around like little crickets. When I met them for the first time, only Portia was nice to me. Doc wasn't so nice, but now, we are all good friends and play, play, play!

Since Portia is much smaller than me now, I just lay down and wrestle her. She's my best friend! Doc is a bit older than us, so he just watches and snorts at us. We had a great time yesterday and I'm so tired from all the fun.
