MICKEY BARKS BACK

HAPPY HOWL O WEEN....

Well , Im going as a Bichon frise for Howl O Ween, last year I went as a BIG OLE GREAT DANE ...he he he !

I bet folks will think I'm a GSD under my Bichon costume .... :)

No human candy for me .... I'm gettin NUTRADENT in my Trick or treat bag !! maybe a nice Harmony farms health bar too !

I have to say some folks are silly to give there dogs chocolate ..cause it can kill some dogs dead. But Mom does not think its good for me sooooo I don't get Chocolate period.

Hope there is a full moon for HOWL O WEEN this year cause we Wolf boys and girls in the neighborhood... and its gonna be a HOWL ... if theres a Full Moon.

I don't care for Howl o ween that much since all those little monsters keep ringing our bell and I bark like ahhhhh.....HECK

I didn't use the cuss word that sounds like BELL... cause I'm a cultured doggie ...he he he .

HAPPY and SAFE HOWL O WEEN all you GREAT DANES in CHI WAH WAH ... costumes TOO!

Falling leaves and fun !!

Hi all!

Its pretty close to my Commin' Home month ... Mom and Dad brought me home Sept. 24th 2007... From the Ct SPCA in Monroe CT.

Last year at this time I was not half as happy as I am today .. 'cause last year Mom bought FRONT LINE PLUS from an Online place and it DID NOT WORK ! This year we got it from the vet and added Brewers yeast and garlic tabs I started taking in May. No Scratching myslef raw from Nasty fleas ..... this year NOPE not me !

This year for my COMMIN' Home day, Mom says theres gonna be a suprise ... WOUNDER WHAT Its gonna be ???

Mom says we are not quite sure exactly how old I am this year ....
I could be as young as 2 and a half , or as old as 4 . But I don't care I have good food and toys and lots of Love . And I hope I have them for a long time .

Dr. Vickey gave me a clean bill of health this year ..and She says she is really sure I'm gonna live a Long happy life. ( Hope she's right !)

Mom still feeds me Hamony Farms Chicken and Brown rice dry dog food . No Corn , Wheat or Soy.... YEAH and its real good too!! It costs about twice as much as the "CHEAP STUFF" but its better for me ...she says! Money is tight this year but I'm not getting the cheap stuff.... 'cause I'm allergic to Corn ... we think,Wheat ... maybe Soy too... not sure but most Commercial dog foods have Corn glutin and Wheat and Soy so the only way to be sure is to get a better dog food without all three.

I'm not a food Gobbler... I eat as much as I like of the food Mom puts out and leave the rest till later when I get hungry again ... Mom makes sure I get only what I need per day by only putting out that much so I can nibble when I like.

Mom says Better dog food is actually less expencive then the cheap stuff in the long run.... I have to eat less of it to give me the same energy as the cheap stuff and the Lack of allergys makes me to the Vet less often too!

Boy I'm glad she knows all that Fancy stuff about dog foods! All I have to do is eat it.... YUM !

Mom can buy Harmony Farms at STOP AND SHOP when she does the grocery shopping for the rest of the Family ... no extra trip to the Pet food store either ...Sooooooo that saves money too !
( I still love going to Petco though . So Mom takes me with her when we go out sometimes anyway... but WE don't need to go for food.)

Have a great Fall ALL.... love MICKEY FINN !

Bichons, not just for FOO FOO dog lovers anymore!!

Mom says she is so glad she started grooming me herself..

My grooming costs her next to NUTTIN' Honey and I'm a far happyer pup! ( Three years old...and Mom still calls me a pup ?) lol

Mom is not one of those ... FANCY SMANCY Bichon owners( SORRY , BUT there are a few.... ) you know the kind that has to have a 15 carrot dimond collar , and a new wordrobe for her Bichon every week?

Nope she keeps me cut in a PUPPY ( lamb ) cut and WE NOW both love my grooming sessions ... No fuss no a'bother .. once every other day comb out a bath every so often ...( about once every 8 weeks) but We do confess to going as long as 3 months from time to time without a bath... YEAH ! But Mom says its not good for me .. OH POSH!

I have learned not to mind the grooming shears... and now actually seem to enjoy the warm water showers ... (bath time for us is on a shower seat with a rubber mat on it NON SLIP SURFACE for me and alot less kneeling for Mom. Kneeling is not comfortable for her )..and I hate being in that big old bath tub anyhow.

I still hate the electric clipper ( Hay give a dog a break... if you get SHAVED every 2 months and those MONSTER clippers get to close ... FORGET enjoying a grooming session. OUCH. A few " PRO groomers" even left me with open bleeding cuts... NO THANKS..
Mom has had to stop bringing me to some of them for my own safety.
( Not all groomers are Bad, but I like Moms grooming shop better.)

Mom has learned how to use the shears ... pretty good now. and its much easyer to keep me cut in Lamb cut that way.

I have a nice Purple collar (no dimonds please Im a MANNLY doggie)

and a nice purple harness to match when we go out for walkies or to pick up Pop from work ... Boy, I love going for rides !!

If you don't think Purple is a Mannly color please take it up with all the KINGS OF EUROPE , THEY SEEM TO THINK IT IS ...lol

Thank goodness the color purple no longer has to be gotten from Conch shells deep in the ocean... ( got mine in Stop and Shop!) not hardly for a KINGS randsom .... ( Quick sale table actually !)
$1.39 each got two, a royal blue one to match my other Harness, and the Purple one .
Mom tells me my Breed name means "Curly little lap dog" sooooooo,
I hardly need Gems on my royal PURPLE collar ...He he he !

Like I care whats on my collar anyhow ? Now to all you folks who have a PARIS HILLTON complex.... More power to ya , however ,
I'm a happy camper ... and I love my life just as much as their pups do ! WELL maybe even more ! Who knows Mom does not HOB NOB with PARIS HILTON types ... Just School teacher , Nurses , Artists, and Regular folks like that ...and I only talk to their pups... LOL

Nope no fancy smacy stuff for me... Im a Mannly doggie .. he he he !

Oh don't think i live a depived life , I have an egg crate foam crate pad, and TWO corderoy and fleese doggie throws ( One for the wash and One for when I get washed .... ) I'm plenty pammpered ... POOR ME !

Well so long for now..this is ( king ) MICKEY in my Royal Purple collar sighing off for now... You need now BOW... unless it has a WOW after it...
