Success!! Aroowooh

OK, these last few days have been pawtastic. Yesterday we spent the day hiking and swimming again. This time I did not get sore... AND... I got my very own hot dog and lots of cheese curds! BOL Cheese curds are so good! Today I went to the vet for my yearly physical. A year ago I weighed 74 pounds and was over weight. Today 64 pounds and in great shape! So now Mom has to figure out how to maintain my weight! BOL I love going to the vet till they try touching me. BOL I don't like being touched. I am a very shy pup. But all my tests (heartworm and the poop exam), came back fine. I got my shots and went on our way. Oh yeah and Mom asked the vet what they thought about RAW diet and she was not against it. She just suggested we be careful. One of the vet techs feeds raw so mom might call her for pointers. In the mean time, tomorrow we start the switch from canidae to TOTW. I love the taste of that food! Tomorrow, the humans are going swimming without me! :( How dare they! BOL

Fun, Fun, Fun ..... then pain :(

Oh my dog! Summer is ruff! The humans love it outside, but I am a husky ... over 40 degrees I think it is hot! Anyway, 2 days ago, we went swimming and hiking in the woods. I really did have alot of fun, but I discovered that I only like swimming if it is my idea to go in and I like the muddiest dirty spots.. but I don't like getting my feet dirty. So I have to run real fast to get thru the mud to get to the dirty water. And I only like swimming if my feet still touch bottom. BOL It kinda freaks me out when my belly gets wet. We saw 2 deer kinda close to us while we were walking but mom spoiled the fun... she held on real tight so I couldn't go play with them. I was getting hungry ... I wanted venison! I was so tired on the way home, I slept all the way home in the car. When we got home though, I was stiff and sore. I could barely walk! The Mom thought it was kinda funny at first. By the next morning, she didn't think it was funny at all. I would take 3 steps and lay down cuz I really hurt. Now she was worried. She called the vet as soon as they opened. They think I just over did it A whole day of rest and asprin and I seem to be coming around. It still hurts, but not like yesterday. Mom is hoping this is a good sign. I am hoping I don't see a rabbit before I can chase them. I don't need no silly rabbit laughing at me. Mom says yesterday I walked like a 90 year old... today I have the energy and speed of a 70 year old. I will show them all ... tomorrow I will be dragging them around by the leash again! (I hope! BOL)

Anyway, the moral of the story is ... have fun this summer ... but do it in moderation and if you are husky ... make your humans go out in the winter too ... payback for their summer fun!

Poor Tigger :(

My little brother is not feeling well. He has arthritis, a pulled muscle in his neck, and blood in his urine. We are not sure why the blood is there but with the pulled muscle, he can't play with me. And he is getting a lot of attention. I wanna cuddle him but mom won't let me. I hope he gets better. Mom is very worried about him. I guess I will just keep my paws crossed and keep my eye on him.

Feeling Blue!

Feeling BLUE

A friend of mine is missing. His name is Blue - officially Yukonwind's Doobie Blues.

I still believe that he is alive and I still believe that he will be found. I have to believe... what would I do if I were missing? Would my humans look for me... would they still look for me after 2 months? after 6? Would other people help them or would they be all alone too? Would someone find me and try to make me theirs? Would I wonder searching for food and shelter? I'd be scared... this I know

Blue is alive, I feel it, but he's scared. He wants to come home and he wonders if anyone cares... if anyone is looking for him.

My humans live many miles away. They have never met Blue or Blue's humans but they are trying in any way to help... help spread the word, help find blue.

So... why help strangers, why help find a dog you don't know?
For many reasons, but mostly because they know that this could just as easily be me. How helpless would any of us pups, kitties or humans feel? Who else could we turn to who would truly understand? We do this because we put ourselves in the shoes of Blue and Blue's humans and because we've come to know that even as strangers, we'd be there for each other...

We do it for our own pack. We do it for the friends we've made here - we do it because we know if any one of us is in need, we will be there for each other.

We do it because Blue needs us... and we all have something to offer, we can all help and add to a sum that is so much bigger than just one.

Please help us - please post this in your diary. Please click here to go to WhereIsBlue.com and help us get Blue home!! and share it with your friends, ask your humans to share it with there friends. Please pay this forward - we would do the same for you.

Blue, a black and white Siberian Husky (4 year old male, brown eyes, microchipped) has been missing since May 8, 2007 from Brighton, MI.

BEING LOST -- FROM A DOG'S PERSPECTIVE

The gate was left open
one bright sunny day
So I thought I would go,
explore, run, and play.


Seeing new things,
this is such fun!
But where do I go,
now that I’m done?

Was it back this way,
or maybe that
Where is my home?
I want to go back.

I have on my collar,
it’s red, white and blue
But, I don’t have my tags
to give someone a clue.

A man comes and gets me,
puts me in his truck
He’s taking me home,
Oh, what luck!

Wait a minute,
this isn’t my home
I’m stuck in a cage,
scared and alone.

People come see me,
so I wag my tail
I love the attention
I get in this jail.

The food is okay,
and the bed is too
But I really miss home,
yet what can I do?

I miss my yard,
my bed, and my ball
But, I miss my master
the most of all.

Where is my master?
It must have been weeks
I know he will come.
He really loves me.

Then someone takes me
down a long hall
I’m confused and uncertain,
I stare at the wall.

I feel a prick,
things start to go dark
I think of my master
and me in the park.

I’m going to sleep now
with him on my mind
Little do I know,
my fate has been signed.

I pray when I wake,
he will be there
Holding me close,
stroking my hair.

I’m sorry I strayed,
who knew the cost?
But it doesn’t have to happen
when dogs get lost.

Lisa Williams

Feeling Blue

This is for a very special missing husky. Please everyone Bring Blue Home!



Okay pups! Time to get those paws moving, this is a project with many purposes! The main goal is to get even more pups & people aware of BLUE's plight outside our immediate circles, it is also with hopefully the strength in numbers a way to show the ever watching dogster crew our efforts and determination. (we have more reasons and ideas rolling that need dogster's support and partnership) It involves diaries and a game of tag! BUT unique!

What we need everypup to do:

First write a entry in your diary titled "Feeling BLUE" (If you don't have a diary now is as good a reason to start if any!)
Then write a message expressing how it feels to miss BLUE or friend or how you would feel if you were lost/separated from your family.

Include this basic info (you can copy and paste) :
