I've Been "Love Tagged" by Sasha Bunny Valentine

Sasha Bunny Valentine (a gorgeous friend of mine - and my brother's girlfriend) "loved tagged" me. I'm excited.

These are the rules. You need to post 7 pawsome facts about yourself in a diary entry. Then choose 7 doggy friends, who will then post up in their diary who has been love tagged them and post 7 of their friends names. Then send them a pawmail or a rosette saying they have been tagged and to see the rules on the diary page.

Pawsome Facts About Me:
1. I have the best friends
2. I love playing my favorite game "the sky is falling"
3. I love steamed cauliflower
4. My coat is 4 different colors - I used to be a tri color, but now I'm getting
gray, so that makes me quad color
5. My family is the most important thing in my life
6. I love to be petted, massaged, rubbed - I crave attention, touch me 24/7
7. I am Mom's shadow

These are the friends I have "love tagged"

I Have a Slide Show

I am so excited. Mom made me a cool slide show with music and everything. on my page. Raffles doesn't even have music on his. He is going to be so jealous. I told Mom she needs to take more photos of all of us. She needs to make Chewie and Maleka's page special too.

Mom is learning how to do these things by looking at all the other pup pages. She's having a lot of fun.

I am so tired tonight, because whenever Mom is home I have to be her little shadow. She's a busy lady, always doing something so I'm up and about a lot. Makes me a tired little girl by the end of the night.

She's spending the whole day with us tomorrow after her bike ride. I can't wait.

I Survived Being Mauled by the Horse

You may already know from Raffles and Chewtoy that Maleka and I had an altercation this week. Mom gave us some rice krispies on the porch and Maleka wasn't watching where she was putting her mouth and tried to eat my pieces. I'm sure it wasn't my fault, hey I'm a 12 year old grandma type dog why would I take on a big horse like her. Well I ended up on my back with her big old slobbering mouth on my ear. Mom got her off of me (I'm glad Mom didn't get bit) and I was pretty scared for a bit but Mom was there to protect me. I limped just for awhile and Mom thought we had both come through unscathed, but then Dad saw some blood by Maleka's eye. I must have lashed out at her when she had me on my back. I guess she'll think twice about tackling me again. Dad found some of my hair on the porch, so Mom checked me out again and I had a scratch on the outside by the top of my ear where the hair was pulled out. Then she looked in my ear and saw some bite marks. Maleka plays dirty. So I ended up with about 5 owies on my ear. Mom has been playing nurse and making my ear feel better. I'll be keeping an eye on Maleka, she won't sneak up on me again.

That Raffles is quite the character. After all the times I've stuck up for him and made sure he is safe, what does he do. He eats all the rice krispies while we're having our skirmish. I guess that's why Dad calls him porkchop. He did come up and give me kisses to make me feel better, but that was after he gobbled up all of the rice krispies.

Next week should be a quieter week. Dad is going on a golf trip and it's just us and Mom. Dad says she spoils us. We're worth it.

We Are Family

Mom and I met over 12 years ago. I was at a pet store that was having an adoption day through Homeward Bound. Mom had her eye on a very mellow dog that was walking around without a leash but thought she might be a little big. But then she saw me. I had just been placed in a very small pen with 3 huge dogs, who wouldn't leave me alone. Mom got me out of there and we hung out for awhile. She was torn between me and this other dog. Well it turns out that this other dog was actually my dog Mom. Isn't that weird. She didn't look anything like me. But I won over my Mom's heart. I was already 8 months old and I had been adopted by several other families but for some reason or another they gave me up. I was beginning to think I'd never have a family who would love me and want me to be with them forever. Well I found my family that day. It was tough at first as I was so afraid that I would be sent back again. I had separation anxiety for a long time. But here we are 12 years later and Mom still adores me.
