June 7th

I upset my cats today. This afternoon my two neighbor dogs came over to play. They are real nice dogs , and they never come into my house so I really do not know why the cats are so mad. Both dogs came over and we played chase for awhile, but it was hot so we took a rest in the sad, and watched the other dog (Dakota) play frisbee. She is really good, as she can jump in the air and catch the frisbee without missing. Shadow (the other dog), and I are not into frisbee we prefer to chase. Shadow does the chasing and I do the running away from her it was fun. I think they come over again next Saturday. I am sure we will have a lot of fun again.
Tomorrow I start my weight loss contest. I know I will win as I love to play, run, and walk which you need to do to lose weight. The only thing I am not good at is giving up my snacks. I not looking foward to that. Tomorrow I have a dog beach party to go to. It is supose to be a lot of fun. I am looking foward to the party, however we do not live near a beach so we will have to pretend.

Friday June 6th

Well it is official I am in some type of weight loss contest. If I get closest to my goal then I win 50 dollars. I know it seems strange for a dog to be in a contest, but my family thinks I need to lose weight. My vet agrees, he says it will be good for my back. I am to excited to do this, but I will work hard. However, no way will I give up my hot dogs I get for rally Obedience. I love hot dogs, they are so good. I have to cut down on the snacks I eat, and excercise more. I write about how this is all going.

June 5th

Hi
Well, I had a pretty good day today. I went running with my human sister, and it was fun. My collar came off 3 times, but I was such a good dog I stayed right with her. I did not run into the street or run away. I am a good dog. Then after we came home, she went away. It was just me and mom. When a man came to our house to check the air conditioner and furnes. Thankfully they are running well. It is getting hot, and I will need the air conditioner. Any way a man came and was on the roof. I barked at him, and kept him from stealing anything. By two human sisters, my fur cat sister, and I are on diets to see who can lose get closet to their weight loss goal in 6 weeks. The winner gets to spend 50.00. I know I will win, because I am one determined dog. Go Abbey

June 5th windy windy day

Hi
Boy today the weather is windy. Despite it being windy it is warm. I really do not like the hot weather. Some humans think it would be a good thing for me to get a hair cut. However, my humans thing it would not be good. I had short hair once, andI still thought it was hot. I think I am just one of those dogs that hate the heat.
Last night I went to rally-obedience school. I had a really good time. I am learning a lot. My teacher wants me to join mixed breed group then I can compete. I am being to get more comfortable with the more advance class.

What a great day today is. First I had a suprise as I went to the dog park this morning. I was not suppose to go to day, but I got to go see my friends. Then I got home only to find out that Obama had gotten enough delegets to clinch the nomination for president. I was so happy I just can not contain myself. My tail was wagging all over the place. Go Obama.

June 2nd It is getting hot

Hi
The weather here is heating up. I went to the park for a early morning walk. My friends were there and we walked for a long time. It was nice, but you could tell it was going to be hot. As the day has gone on it was gotten hotter. Fortunatly, it will soon cool off, and I will have one day of fun, before it gets hot again.
I got to Rally Obedience class tomorrow, and I hope it does not get to hot there. I hate it when it is so hot. I like to go and sit in the shade, but the other dogs can handle the heat so we do not get many breaks.

June 1st

Hi all
Whoo I had a good day to day. First of all I went to the dog park, and what did my eyes see, but my old friend Nicki I had not seen her and her bother Floyed for a couple of years. It was so nice to see her. We got a chance to play with each other, and I even ran with her brother.
I hope I see her again soon.
This afternoon I had my neighbor dogs over for a couple of hours to play. One of the human kids had a birthday party so the dogs came over to play. They stayed about 3 hours. We had fun running and playing together.
On a sad note I found out yesterday night I lost two friends in the neighborhood. Buddy is moving as his mom died of cancer. He is living with his aunt. Another friend Wicket died of old age. Good bye old friends and thank you for being my friend and the memories.

May 31 chasing squirrels at doggy dash

Hello
Today I went to my favorite event the doggy dash. It is a 5k run and dog activities for all and demos. They had so many vendors, and I got some wonderful doggy cookies (yeah). Everyone was so nice. I had a good time. There were so many nice furs. We all enjoyed meeting each other.
However, the race was not to fun for me as I got in trouble with my human sister. During one of the water stops we had a problem. We were minding our own business and all of the sudden a squirrel appeared. I could not just stand by and not doing anything about the squirrel. So I pulled my leash with human attached to chase the squirrel. Unfortunatly for her she feel into water bowls skinning her knees, and getting some buises. I got free and chased the squirrel. Soon some fun race volunteers joined in the chase. They were not much help, and soon the squirrel was gone. They took my leash back to my human sister. She was mad at me, cause she fell and got hurt. I think she was upset because I was chasing squirrels, and she was not. She could have joined me if she was not so clumsey. Oh well I finished the race, and had fun at the event.
What a wonderful day I had.

May 23 oh no

Hello folks
I have not felt to good for the past few days. My back foot really hurt, and I hide it from my family for a few days. They thought my back problems was acting up again, but I knew better. They were worried. However, when they were not around I would lick my back of foot. A couple of days ago they saw me licking the back of the foot, but could not find anything wrong with it. I have to admit I was good at hiding where it hurt. It was between the toes on top of back paw. Well, today I was found out. My human sister saw the me licking front of paw, and took a good look. It was red, and swollen. It really hurt, so I was kind of glad they found out. My family took me to the vet, and yes I had a foxtail in my paw. He had to do minor surgery to get the foxtail out. It was not to bad, but I hated having a bandage on paw which had to stay for a few hours. Now I am foxtail, and bandage free. I am ready to play and go for a walk. I am so happy. Advice to you dogs tell your people where your paw really hurts, do not try to hide it. Going to vet is no fun, but they can help you.
