Yoday was quite action pawcked

As you all know, from my previous diary entry, today I went on this SUPER long walk, what a tiring day it was! But that's not all, I feel like Billy Mays now (R.I.P.). Tonight my Mommy hosted this really big BBQ the guests threw the ball for me & fed my cookies, I got lots of pets & pats & I only jumped twice on this one male guest. But in my defence we ALWAYS rough house when he comes around, I thought it was alright, but mommy didn't think so :/ Anywhoo , I still had LOTS of fun :) & Mommy said that I was really well-behaved A- she says :] Well I'm kinda sleepy & I really wanna chew this new mylabone I just got, so adios amigos, see you all soon!
WOOF WOOF ♥

One GRRReat Day !

WOOT WOOT ! Today I had absolutely positively the most fun ever :) My mommy first took mt to this HUGE school field, she let me off leash & used the chuck-it to throw my ball around as we walked. After that she leashed me up & we walked down this long twisting, winding trail until we came to this GIANORMOUS beach ! But the catch is that on this beach it's divided into 3 little beaches, cool huh? Anywhoo, I went on the 3rd beach with my Mommy, she threw my ball into the water & I went & fetched it out. I got nice & refreshed, it was VERy hot out today! I like to call days like this "Dog days" & those types of days are most definitely my favourite :)
WOOF WOOF - Leila ♥

My Mommy is so proud!

WOOT WOOT ! In half an hour it'll be only ONE day until my BIrthday, & it's especially exciting becasue it's my FIRST birthday ever! That's right, you heard me, I'm turning one year old! I'm SUPER excited i've heard talk that I'm going to the canada day parade & I'm having a HUGE birthday, with all my family + activities & games !!!!! : ) i'm SO excited, like barkin' mad excited! Well enough about this, tonight around 8ish I went on this really nice walk into the Steveston village. I went to this enclosed baseball diamond & i went off-leash for the very FIRST time! It was so much fun! I ran & sniffed everything :) Although no one else was there with there dog's I still had a blast playing fetch ! Well I guess that's enough talk & bark for one night, I sure had some tail-waggin' fun! Well have a grrrrrrrr-eat nite, & don't let the bed bugs bite, or in my case fleas :D
Love, Leila-Bean ♥

ADOPT 09 CONTEST

This Is The Life...

Howling, Barking, Crying, & More,

This Is All You Here Going From Door To Door.

Slowly But Surely They Turn From Green To Red,

Seeing Their Eye's Is Just A Dread.

Finding A Home Is out of Sight,

This Is Reality In The Shelter Life.

Passing Glances Give Them Hope,

But Frightened Eye's Make Them Mope.

Another Life Other Than This,

"If Only You'd Been Given A Chance, You'd Finally Have Bliss".

As the Needle Enters & My Eye's Begin To Shut,

I Think Of The Possibilities, Then I Start To Thrust.

My Legs Quiver As The Liquid Pours In

My Blood Has Been Poisoned, I'm now Dead From Within.

They Hold Me down, As If I'm a Wild Beast

But All I Really Wanted Was Some Love & Peace.

Everyday The Death Rate Goes Up

All Becasue People Want Little Dog's That Haven't Been Touched.

Fresh From The Hands Of Irresposible Owners,

They Think We're Tainted, Like A Fishy Odour.

Mangy, & Dangerous Is What They Assume

But Really We're Sweethearts, That Only Want To Be With You.

People Are Uneasy & Ready To Leave,

But If They Open Their Eye's They'll Truly See

The Good Inside May Be Deep Within

But If You Give Me A Glance, Then Offer Me a Chance

I'll Be Sure To Please. Becasue Of You I Am Not Deceased.

Thank-You For The Opportunity, I Am Now Well On My Way.

I Live With My Mommy & Daddy Right To This Day.

Because Someone Took There Time & Was Quite Benign

I Am Living My Life Because I Am Unbelievably Still Alive.

I Only Wish My Life Had Played Out Like This.

Full Of Love & Compassion, That Any Human Would Give.

I Still Keep On Wondering Why They Prefer Pet Shop Pups,

When Dogs At The Shelter Are Willing To Give Just As Much.

Right Now I sit Above You, Watching You Make A Horid Decision,

Choosing Three Thousand Dollar Dogs,

Instead Of A Dog With A Mission.

We're Here To Find Furever Homes, That Seem So Distant.

Others, Like Me, Will Try To Be Just As Persistant.

Waiting So Patiently For Someone To Come.

But Knowing Deep Down, That They're Dying Alone.

My Friends Down Below Are Still Their Waiting.

Their Fate Is In Your Hands To Keep On Living.

It's Up To You, Whether They Stay Alive,

Becasue That One Passing Glance Will Determine Their New Lives.

A Beloved Pet That Is Well & Loved,

Or A Mere Memory Of A Dog That Was Pushed And Shoved.

So Next Time You Think Of Getting A Dog,

Remember This Poem, & All That It Belonged.

For Dog's Everywhere In The World Are Just Like Me,

Pleading To Tell Their Story So Others Can Be Free.

SNOW!!!

I don't know if you've noticed but it's snowing down here in Canada! Where I live we have sooo much, probably around 20-25 cm. Sure it's not as much as Alberta or Toronto but it's my first ever Christmas and when the people on our street shovel the snow the piles grow so high that my 4 legs can't touch the ground. I feel so free but on my short leash it's sorta hard to run. I was so excited I pulled my 12 year old buddy down into the snow, it was all in good fun though. This whole snowy experiece has taken my mind off of my spaying tha happened about a week ago. I was so sore and tired and my tummy hurt lots, but now I'm "A"-okay! I'm back to normal thankfully, I thought I'd never get back to being myself. Well Diary I really have to get some rest now jumping around in all that snow has made me quite tired, Goodnight and Happy Holidays!
Love, Leila♥

YAHOO!!!

I'm so happy! Today I went on my 1st walk! I was smelling all these new scents and searching the grass for hidden treasures. My Mommy says I looked like Dora the Explorer! Caan't wait for another walk, YIPEEE Ruff Ruff!!
