Ahhh... The Dog Days of Spring.

Hey everypup ~Scooter here~

Do you know as I have this barktated to you all that we are sitting outside in the wonderful sunshine and vitamin D and then breeze is blowing up from the bottom of the hill. We can't see it, but if you sniff really deep on a good bluster of wind you can smell Lake Washington. Better yet, you get the cooling effects of the lake breeze during the day. Can you smell it? Go ahead, sniff deep and get a good snootful. Nice huh.

The lawn got mowed so our feets won't be so wet to our ankles for the next couple days in the morning privacy please time. This makes Mom happy since we wont' be trotting water over the carpet waiting for SNACKS to be doled out.

My favorite spot this time of the day is out on the grass where Mom is sitting right now. Except when she wants to aim the camera at me. Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Gotta go - just saw EVIL NEMESIS CROWS fly by.

DDP today. Honored Fur Sure.

Hey everypup ~Scooter here~

DDP today. I know, it was a week old entry (not a weak entry BOL), but what the heck. A Champion Ribbon for the wall will never be sneezed at. I might snuggle in and sleep on it, but no sneezing - BOL.

Thank you for the DDP Dogster.

That is called an Echo.

Hey everypup ~Scooter here~

This morning I was outside enjoying the spring weather. Oh the sniffs to be had, the rolling in the moss the MOST EVIL CROWS have flung about, the peeing on all things vertical, oh the things to do.

So yeah, I was out there for a while which Mom endorses at every chance. I'm more of what you'd call a "best weather" dog. It had better be the best or I ain't hanging for long.

Mom was inside doing that stuff in her "privacy please" room getting ready for "work". Looking real close at the mirror and torturing her eyes and telling us all not to jump on her or she'll put an eye out. Spritzing stuff on hair and body until a dog just has to sneeze. Golly being a human takes effort. Not a "Wake and Shake, Ready to Roll" type being.

Mom poked her head out the window a couple times and told me to stop barking. I just looked at her and barked again. Did you hear that? Did you?

It's an echo.

I bark, and a bark comes back. I bark again and a bark comes back.

Oh yes, I did this for a good bit. Bark and listen to my awesome bark come back to me. Bark and listen. Bark and listen.

Mom came out and told me to stop barking because I was making the other dog bark.

Don't you hate having to explain to your humans that they are wrong?

I explained that I was barking up the hill and the "echo" coming back was amplified, (Mom that means louder) was because the hill was so impressed by my bark it was echoing back louder.

It's called an echo, not antagonizing the neighbor dog. Now should't you be getting ready for that thing called "work" and leave me alone for my nap? BOL

Yawn, Stretch, Belch.

Hey everypup ~Scooter here~

Oh, Hi. Is it spring again? *Yawn*

Is that EVIL CROW out there in the yard? *Stretch* Let me the he!!ck out of this house.

Never mind, I knew they would fly off after I sent out Cutter and Pepper. BOL. Smartz™ I gotz lotz.

Still full from Ham Day 2012, putting a waddle to my wiggle. Or a wiggle to my waddle? Either way I still need Mom to lift me up onto the bed. *Belch* BOL.

Protein overload zzzzzzz

Can We Talk EVIL?

Hey everypup ~Scooter here~

EVIL has been swooping through the air and destroying our backyard. Yes, EVIL in the form of crows. Do you know when they flock together they turn into a MURDER of crows? Does that not tell you all you need to know about their EVILNESS?

Spring is here in the Pacific Northwest and that brings a lot of birds back to the area. True, the crows and seagulls (the EVIL seafaring version) are here all year long, but the crows are active this last month.

A certain foursome of crows flies by multiple times daily to torment us dogs and destroy our backyard. 4 makes a pack at least in dogdom so I think for 4 crows that makes EVIL.

We go out in the morning and they are out there sitting way up in the trees cawing at us. They do low by swooping and land on the roof of OUR house. All of us bark and then Mom comes out and yells for us to ignore them and just get "hurry up" (that is code for do #1 & #2 ASAP). Those of us with proper training and manners make sure to take care of that.

I still make sure to keep my eyes on those crows and have a few good barks to leave them with when I go back into the house.

Then I bark at them from inside too. I will not give up my guard duty honors!

Then we have to watch them when Mom isn't home, or when she is on the weekends, swoop down on our lawn and rip out moss and grass. Ripping and tearing, ripping and tearing. Mom thought they were taking the moss to build nests, but they are not taking the moss. They are just ripping moss. She thought they'd be eating grubs or worms because this time of the year those guys are floating near the surface from the Seattle spring ground. Except they aren't eating anything.

They are just doing the juvenile equivalent of 4 X 4 broides in the yard we think.

They have even started ripping apart the mailboxes out front. They just rip the moss off and toss it down on the ground in front of the box. It is a horrible mess.

What is a pup to do?

Scooter's Rulez™

Hey everypup ~Scooter here~

Since it's such a gross rainy day outside today, all I've been able to do is watch stuff drip. I decided to put some thought into life and came up with some of the basic Scooter Rulez™.

~Always sleep on a pillow. The more you take up the better. 3 is a starting platform, but if you can get a couple feather pillows curled around...

~Always sit in the front seat. Assume the driver's position if a human butt isn't plopped there already. Still try, sometimes you can get away with it.

~Always make sure you eat all you want. Well at least try.

~Always make sure you have your own chair and insist it be turned if needed to view, well, stuff.

~Always ignore Misty's growls. Just walk on by, walk on by.

~Always make sure you are the most comfortable when you need to sleep.

~Always blink when a picture is being taken.

~Always make sure you can see out the window no matter what chair you have chosen.

~Always guard your SNACK even if you don't want to eat it right away.

~Always bark first and find out if there was a reason to later.

~Always make sure the first SNACK of the day is served in bed.

~Always run back to the food dish after making room for it outside. Same with the water dish.

~Always bark at the noises on TV even if you are watching it and know what is going on.

~Always show Mom how much you love her. Snuggle right on in and make sure her neck gets really out of whack every so often. "Scooter Neck" is not a reason to not go to work it seems.

~Always be the last to go to bed. That way Mom has to lift you in.

Hey eveypup ~Scooter here~

Can you believe the nerve of that..that...that...

EVIL NEMESIS SQUIRREL sticking a peanut in the window box right in front of my face! There was just a window between us or that thing would be peanut flavored roasted EVIL NEMESIS SQUIRREL.

I'm still annoyed and will be for a while.
