it"s been a while

hi all! i know it has been a while since i have been on here, but just so you know, mommy, renny, and i are doing well!! mommy has been sooo busy lately - she has been doing fund raising for the shelter i came from, TLC in homer glen, il. she planned a girls night out shopping event and raffle and raised over $600! now she is selling raffle tickets for their big raffle and also planning the 2nd annual "shelter wishlist drive" for over the holidays!
renny & i still love to go for walks with mommy & we love to play and wrestle & fight - then we cuddle up and go to sleep! we still dont listen very well, we only come when we are called when we feel like it! mommy loves us anyway!!
mommy is switching our dog food. she gives us purina one, but they changed the formula and it now has these neon yellow pieces and thats all that stinker renny will eat! so, mommy is gonna try out several brands like canadae, call of the wild, etc that she got from our favorite store, Tuckers Doggie Delights here in New Lenox. hopefully the switch wont upset our tummies too much!
well, thats all for now! hope everyone is doing well!

my new sister

ok guys guess what!!! i have a new sister, her name is Renny. we just got her a few days ago, saturday actually we weren't lookin to have anyone else come live with us. it's just that since i joined the family everyone thinks i am so cool, such a unique mix of dachshund and pit bull. mom decided to go back on petfinder.com & check out what other kind of interesting dachshund mix dogs were around. she wasn't lookin for another one at all. then the picture of "jill", renny's old name, popped up and mom & dad were in love. me & mom and her friend went to the vet clinic that was hosting "jill" to check her out and before you knew it we were all playin together and then "jill became renny and came home with us. i sure am glad, cuz although she can be a bit of a pain to me, it's neat having a baby sister!! even tho she is only four months old, she was scheduled to be sent to doggie heaven at a shelter in kentucky, probably cuz like me, she is also part pit bull. how stupid!! just means i am really strong for my size and have lots of energy!! renny got rescued by the plainfield illinois humane society and the rest is history. now everyone thinks renny is MY baby instead of just my sister, cuz we look almost like twins mom says. hope everyone wants to be renny's friend and treats her as cool as they treated me when i joined!!

While I do not expect everyone out there to love dogs, I take exception to people who are intentionally cruel for no reason. One of my humans is a truck driver and I love to ride along wherever he goes. Today my human and I were pulled over by State Police in Indiana. While I won't bother getting into what a creep he was toward my human, I will say he was even worse about me. I am not a very big dog, only 26 pounds. I have barked a total of two times in the month I have had my humans - and then it was one single bark each time. They say I am happy and friendly and very sweet - and I just like to sniff things out. When the trooper opened the passenger door, I just stood there sniffing and wagging my tail. ( I am used to new humans coming up to the truck and petting me ALL the time, everyday - I LOVE IT!!) The creep told my human he had exactly 3 seconds to leash and restrain me before he shot me!!!!!!!!! Now, I can understand asking for him to leash me - some people are afraid of dogs, even ones that aren't acting in an aggressive manner. BUT TO SAY THAT HE WOULD SHOOT ME????????? Incredible! My female human was so angry she was almost in tears when we t0ld her!! My human managed commendable restraint by only telling the trooper if he did that they were going to have a problem. I am not so sure what my female human might have done!! The worst part is, it's not like you can even complain to the higher ups - they wouldn't believe it - probably think we were making it up since after my human said that the trooper started writing tickets - one for doing less than 10 miles over, one for something else trivial. He looked as hard as he could for something else to write a ticket for, just couldn't find anything. Normally, I LIKE police - my female humans best human friend IS a police man. This trooper just gave humans and police a bad name!!
