Christmas TAG

I've been Christmas tagged by my pal, Biscotte!

Here are the rules:

Because it's Christmas time there are changes to the rules. Each players need to write a short note to Santa Paws and list five things on their Christmas list this year. Tagged dogs must post the rules and their letter with five requests. Then choose five pups to tag and list their names. Let them know by pawmail or rosette that they have been tagged and to read your diary entry for the instructions on how to play. And...since it's Christmas time give them 5 bones or treats.

Here is my letter to Santa Paws ,

Dear Santa Paws,
I am writing this letter to ask you to send peace and harmony to the world. You see, I take my guarding duties very seriously and my Mom worries about me. Guess what, I worry about her too.
I would like to see every bad person receive a good heart. Also, please think of those poor pups and kitties who are in the pound. I lived there once myself and it was not fun.
Thanks Santa!
Love, Vail


Now for my wish list:

1. A trip to Vail, CO. (city I was named for)
2. Lots and lots of plush toys. I love them to bits....literally. ;-)
3. A new leather chair.
4. A 50 inch plasma tv. I am so hooked on tv!
5. Extra toys for Dondee & Moxie so they don't steal mine.

I'll post again to say who I am tagging.

Tag YOU are It!

OK, hope I'm doing this right. I'm ready to tag some pups.

I was tagged by Bailey, and I'm tagging:

1. Boomer Sooner, because he's handsome and looks like my cousin Drake
2. Girlie, because she looks just like my sister Moxie
3. Blue, he looks like a cool dog with a nice family
4. Hoss, because Bonanza is awesome!
5. Gunner, because German Shepherds are awesome!
6. Daisy, because she has a spot on her tongue like me
7. Duchess, because I've never met a Saint Bernard in real life

Write 7 facts about yourself. Then pick 7 fur friends that you would like to tag.
HAVE FUN!

I've Been Tagged!

Bailey tagged me and gave me a cute rosette!
Mom, my sisters and I have missed Dogster. Life has been busy but it is slowing down a bit now.

Here are my 7 Facts:

1. I am a big couch potato when allowed to be.
2. As a pup, I was almost all black.
3. I lived at the pound before my Mom saved me.
4. I captured my Mom's and her brother's heart with the same head move. That head cock to the right got em' both!
5. After Mom got me home from the shelter, 4 days later Parvo took over and I spent almost 2 weeks at the vet. Mom thinks that I probably would have been bigger had a not been so sick as a pup.
6. I howl like a banshee whenever a fire truck is near.
7. I MUST always touch my Mom when we are in the same room. I will either be sitting or standing on her feet or my head will be on her lap or under her fingers.

Now.....who will I tag????
We'll have to keep you posted!

Somethings Up

I sense something is changing. Mom is rushing around putting stuff up and cleaning. She tells me not to worry because we will all be alot happier soon. I trust her but I'll be on lookout just in case.

Mom tells me that I'm the prettiest shepherd ever. I have to agree with her! Ever since we switched to Canidae, I haven't had any skin trouble or tummy trouble for that matter! We are all fat and shiny!

Hot Fun in the Summertime

It is SO hot here in the South! Mommy freaks out and moves my outside water all around dodging the sun. I'm not outside much anyway so it really doesn't matter to me. Our inside water bowls are always nice and cool.

My leather chair feels so good after the AC has been chilling it for me all night. It's way better than laying on the tile floor in the kitchen. Plus Mom leaves the TV on for us during the day and my chair has the best viewpoint.

I Should Go Too!

The school year has begun. Why would Mommy think it is safe for her to be gone ALL day without me!? Doesn't she know that I should be with her always. How can I know if she is safe if I'm not with her?

Maybe I should work. Then Mommy could stay home. Yeah that's the answer! I'll be a police dog! I can work and keep Mom safe all at the same time! I am such a smart dog.

Dondee really hates when Mom leaves. She pouts. Moxie looked confused but happy to get so many cookies. I think that Mommy was trying to bribe us into being in a good mood about her leaving. Dondee and I could care less about cookies when Mom is LEAVING!

That pup Moxie sure loves to eat though.

Baths are GREAT!

After all the times I have gotten in the bathtub lately Mom finally took the hint and bathed me! I LOVE baths. The water is great and Mom scrubs me. What could be better?

Home Again

Mom and my little sisters and I are back at home. I made sure that we all got here safely. I did my perimeter checks of the yard and house as soon as I got home. Mommy told me that I was a good girl but that I didn't have to be so serious all the time.

Later on I took her advice! Moxie and I love to play and we had the best time tussling on the floor. Mommy called me a silly shepherd! I just love to play with that little Moxie. She thinks she is beating me up and it's so funny. I roll over and let her jump all over me. My Mom giggles and that makes me happy!

Mommy says that we have to find somewhere else to live. It's so sad that our city is not so very dog-friendly. Mommy says that maybe it's just harder because our city has grown alot after Hurricane Katrina.

Mommy is trying to be positive but I know when she is worried. Mom says that I'm too sensitive and that everything will be ok. If Mommy believes it then I will too.

Slobber Dog

I'm still hanging out at my grandparents house. Cousin Drake is here too. Drake and I stay in the fence together. Drake is pretty fun but he slobbers. He gets the water all yucky. Mom has to change the water at least twice a day.

Today Mom hooked up the sprinkler for us to play in. It is so much fun! It's a good way to cool off.

To Grandmother's House We Go

There are bags in MY chair. This was rather annoying until I realized that one of them was my bag and we are going to Grandma's!!!!!!!!! I LOVE my Grandma. She's really my great-grandma cause she's my Mom's grandma too.

My Grandma built a fence just for when I come visit. She brings me ice to put in my water bowl and she pets me for long periods of time. Don't tell Mom but she sneaks me special yummy food too!

YaY! Grandma's!!!
