Tag!

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their diary the rules and their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose some dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!

1. I like to chase bugs.
2. My full name is Hurricane Howie.
3. I don't like being outside.
4. I like to wrestle with mom and pull scrunchies out of her hair.
5. I have a tendancy to swallow things I can't digest.
6. I don't understand why all the little dogs I know don't like to play with me.
7. I could look out the front window all day.

I'm tagging....SAMANTHA AND TYSON!

Silly mutt!

Can I say something really random?

We made a funny observation about my brother Zeus. What's funny about him is that he's half boxer and half golden retriever (we think). So when he kidney beans like boxers do and wags his golden retriever tail he slaps himself in the face! It's so silly!

Good news...

Zeus is feeling better. He has been playing with me all weekend. We've been wrestling and playing tug and all the things I always wanted to do with him. It's been such a long time since he has felt well enough to play with me. I'm so glad he's feeling better. I like it when my brother feels good.

Poor brother...

My little brother Zeus is sick. Mom took him to the vet last week and he had lost 10 pounds...that's a lot when you only weighed 45 pounds to begin with. He lost his appetite and had the runs and was real itchy. It's a good thing he got to see Dr. Austin. She gave him some new food and lots of medicine, so now he's getting better. He still has a long way to go, but he's getting his appetite back and wagging his tail again, so that's good.

On a lighter note, the weather is SUPER good. It's been warm and sunny all weekend. I love it. I'm so glad winter is over.

YeeHaw!

Hey everybody! It's me Howie. It's been I while, I know. I wasn't sure if you'd remember me. I thought I should touch base with you pups and let you know what's been going on.

On Saturday I went to a new vet. Her name is Dr. Austin and she's really nice. I was really nervous, but she sat down on the floor and played with me and rubbed my ears and scratched my neck. I hardly even noticed that the vet tech was sticking the thermometer in a very personal place. Then she turned me over and rubbed my belly and all my legs and my back and my head. I kinda liked it. Then they turned me around and Ashley (that's the vet tech's name...I read it on her shirt) rubbed my ears and scratched my neck and I hardly even noticed that Dr. Austin was giving me shots. Then they gave me some yummy meaty treats. Oh, and how can I forget that nasty stuff she squirted up my nose? I didn't like that at all. But mom said she was real proud of me, cause I stood there and took it like a big boy. I really like the new vet. She's much nicer than the old one.

I got lots of treats that day. The vet gave me a few treats. Then mom took me to the Big Wag Bakery (the happiest place on earth), but they weren't open yet. So we went to Petco and mom got me a bucket full of chicken jerky chips and my own little beef roll. Then we went through the drive through at Chik-fil-a and they gave me a cookie. Then later we went back to the bakery and mom got me a whole big bag of cookies. Of course I had to sample everything.

This weekend we're going to Texas! Yee Haw! (That was just a joke--that Yee Haw. I've been to Texas about a million times and never actually seen any cowboys.) Mom's little sister is turning the big 1-0, so we're going to go have some cake and presents. I hope I get lots of presents. Last time it was my birthday, and I got all kinds of cool stuff. Is that how birthdays work? Somebody has a birthday, and I get presents? I think that's how it works.

Mom said they're going to some place called "Incredible Pizza." I just hope they allow dogs, cause pizza really is incredible. I like mine with extra meat and extra cheese. I'm pretty sure I could eat a whole one by myself if they would let me.

Well that's it for now. I seem to have written quite a bit today. I'll try not to wait so long before the next entry. See you all next time!

Bye bye Mr. Giraffe

Well it took a month, but we finally killed that giraffe. When mom and dad went out to eat last night me and Zeus ripped his face off. Scattered stuffing all over the living room. It was good times. And if that wasn't enough fun, we knocked everything off of the coffee table and chewed up a whole roll of scotch tape. I wonder why they don't let us loose in the house more often.

Why is it so cold?

Howie here. Has anybody else noticed it's getting cold outside? What's going on here? I remember it was like this last year when I was just a puppy, but I thought that was over with. I can't take it. You can just forget about me going outside. I'll just pee in the house, thank you very much. At least until this little temerature problem gets fixed.

Now I'm 1...

Hi. It's me. Howie. Friday was my birthday. I'm 1 now. I'm a big dog. Mom still calls me a puppy, but she's wrong. I'm an adult. She says I still act like a puppy, but that doesn't matter. I'm 1.

Birthday's are fun. How come nobody ever told me about birthdays? I got a cupcake from the doggy bakery. And I got a new collar. Then mom and dad took me and Zeus to the dog park to play. And then on our way home we stopped at Petco and I got to pick out a toy. Really they picked it out for me, because I couldn't decide. I was too distracted by all the weird sounds and smells at Petco. There's lots of strange things at Petco.

Anyway, I got a stuffed girraffe. Me and Zeus have almost killed it already. He's still squeaking for now, but not much longer. I just have to wait till mom's not looking, cause she doesn't like it when I tear up my toys. But I can do whatever I want. I'm 1.
