I win yet again.

Today was the PETCO Howl-o-ween Costume Contest. I saw and played with so many cute dogs dressed up as witches, pirates, princesses, and devils. The contest was exciting especially when my Daddy showed up unexpectedly. I ran to him and jumped into his arms. That made the day the bestest plus I won first place. YEAH!!

Yeah, I won again.

Tonight was the local Petsmart Howl-o-ween Costume Contest. There were so many cute and creative dog costumes and I won. I still cannot believe that I won again with the same costume. Everyone that was there voted in the contest. 3rd place went to a cowboy dog, 2nd place went to a prisoner dog, and I won 1st place as a Chic-fil-a cow dog.] out of about 30 plus dogs. It was so exciting and fun.

I won!!!!

Today I went to the park for Dal-o-ween. There were Dalmatians with lots of spots and Dalmatians with hardly any spots. Some of the dogs were not even Dalmatians. Everybody is a Dalmatian at heart. There was one dal that kept barking. He was scary. Anyways they had a costume contest and my "Chic-fil-a Cow" costume won first place. That was awesome. The Dalmatian Rescue of Tampa Bay sponsored the event and gave me paw gold medal and a gift basket from Pampered Paw Gifts. The treats are always fantastic that Mommy gets from Pampered Paws. They are my favorite cookies. The local newspaper was there and took a lot of pictures of me. This was the best day ever.

HHHHOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!

I went to Savannah, GA and Fort Pulaski today. My parents let me run and play every place we went. I saw cannons, birds, fish, birds, squirrels, birds, Atlantic Ocean, and birds. At the fort, I got over heated and did not want to play any more outside. My parents got a cabin at the KOA so I can get my rest.

Summer Vacation

My mommy is running around getting me ready for our big trip. My parents tell me that we are going to trace the east coast visiting parks, camping in a real tent :), dog parks, and many other fun places till we end up in Canada. I had to go to the vet to get my shots and paperwork to go to Canada. This is my first time out of the country and I cannot wait. Mommy tells me that we will be staying at a cottage on a lake in Canada. We are going to go swimming ( that's why mommy & daddy bought me a doggy life vest), boating, fishing, hiking, and see animals. YEAH!!!! I love to travel and go BYE BYE. I will be in a lot of pictures and I will post them as often as I can.

Luv,
Shiner XOXOX

BEACH!!! Beach! Beach! Beach! Beach!

I went to Honeymonn Island again. We went for Easter. There were so funny dogs and dog lovers. I played in the salty water. Love and Hate it. I do not like it in my eyes. I chase little itsy bitsy fishes. Dad took lots of pictures of me. :) The beach is the best. I want to live there. The people are all friendly. Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about the nature walk we went on. I got to chase an armadillo and I saw Osprey. It was so cool. I love to chase birds. Did you know that I am a bird dog? That's why I love to chase birds. We were there for a long time so I got a little pink on my face. ALWAYS REMEMBER SUNTAN LOTION EVEN FOR YOUR DOG. Mommy forgot it in the beach bag when she grabbed my traveling bag. Oh well. I did have lots of water and fun.

Take your friends to the beach. It is fun. ;)

BEACH!!!

I went to Honeymoon Island this weekend. Yeah! I went swimming with my mommy, but I tried to tell my mommy that I HATE waves. My daddy took me for a run up and down the beach. The water was very cold but the sun was very hot. It was so cool to run and play with other dogs at the beach. I even got to chase fishies and crabs. COOOLLLL Stuff !!!!! My parents are the bestest.

Valentine's Party

I went to the Valentine's Party at Petco yesterday. IT WAS CRAZY!!! I got my picture taken with my Mommy but with too many people and family members we left. I was so scared which is unusual for me in crowds. There was a lot of people coming from different directions and not asking my Mommy to pet me. I prefer people to ask if they can pet me first because they (kids) might not be allowed by parents and it helps limit the number petting me at a time. Anyways, I did have fun at the party.

Happy New Year

I want to be a better baby this year for my family. I am going to work on my manners by paying attention and listening to commands, respect them by giving them less attitude, treat my brother,"20", nicer, eat in a less sloppy way, and take up less space on the bed when sleeping with my family.

I hope I can keep these resolutions to help make me a better Dalmatian.

Yeah! Santa Paws!

On Saturday, December 8, I got to see Santa Paws. I was not very sure of him as I waited in. Plus in line, I got to wrestle, chew on, and cuddle with so many puppies. Some were loud, while others bite way too hard. Anyways, I finally got my turn after being in line for 45 minutes and I was only #7. The first doggies in line thought they were at a fashion show and took forever. I was getting very bored and started chewing on the shoes of a lady in line. Oh, Santa Paws was very sweet looking from far away. He looked very scary when I was picked up and placed in his arms. I had a freak out and wanted to get down. My mommy told them to take the picture quickly. I love my mommy. I was so happy to go and so happy to leave.
