Hidden Video Cameras…

Mom has decided to put up cameras to watch what we do during the day when she and dad are gone. Funny she calls them “hidden” video cameras because we are watching her check the angle of the camera and hit the “record” button before she leaves for work.

Turns out, I seem to be the only one to notice mommy setting up said camera. I say this because every time mom leaves Braun immediately runs to the kitchen and “counter surfs”, Nugget starts tearing toys up as if they have offended her in some way, Austin starts a lengthy howling routine which makes me think maybe she thinks the camera is for American Idol…Dog Edition and Ginger will climb up on the back of the loveseat forcing the curtains out of her way with her claws to watch the front of the house all day.

I on the other hand sit there like a really, really good girl. I cuddle with myself and the blankets on the couch, occasionally giving an “I’m so adorable” glance toward the camera…careful not to look directly into the camera otherwise THEY would know I know! BOL!

So far this “hidden’ video camera is working quite well fur me. Mom and dad come home, watch the video and tell me what a good little girl I am. Teheheheehee! I know, I know…I am a little rotten!!

Christmas is here already!

Man! I can't believe Christmas is here already! It seems like it just snuck up on us this year. Typically we know it is coming months in advance because mommy starts her “shopping frenzy” which typically involves lots of online ordering for us pups! Then, she takes the entire living room floor up with bags & wraps and tissue paper, etc. to get everything “hidden” before the big day.

Every year we get new dog beds and this is how I figured out Christmas snuck up on us! Mom and dad came home Saturday and had all new dog beds in our room. WHAT? I absolutely can't believe Christmas is here already. Hey, where are all the other millions of awesome things we get every year? And, what happened to our special “Doggy Christmas Day” which is specifically set for just us pups and Grandpaw always comes over to celebrate and brings us even more fabulous stuff??? Pawlease don’t tell me you got rid of our special day!!! OMD! I CAN'T HANDLE IT! Where oh where did the love go???

BREAKING NEWS: this just in via Austin, apparently Christmas is not here yet. Mom and dad got new beds early because when Nugget first moved in back in she chewed holes in all of them.

Panic attack is over. Whew! Sorry for the interruption!!

Is it October yet?

We send prezzies to all our pup pals saying "Happy October" and wonder just how many will notice and reply! BOL! We do however wish everyone a Happy Every Month of the Year!!! LOVE TO ALL OF YOU! p.s. If this is found not to be funny by anyone, I blame Mommy! BOL!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Today is my birthday and I have everything I need...mommy, daddy, Ginger, Austin, Nugget, Braun, Human-sis Morgan, Human-bro Michael, furever home, furever family. Life is good. Now, let's eat:-)

Thanksgiving with Family

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their family. For all those out there that didn’t have a forever family; we thought of you and prayed for you. We know that many, many of us are still out there in a cage with concrete floors, warm/hot water, bars as a door, pee on our floor and a person passing by on occasion to make sure we are still breathing. We know that your Thanksgiving was not one of celebration, thanks and love. We know you cried yourself to sleep the night prior and the night of. Our wish on our Thanksgiving was for YOU! Not US! YOU! We want everyone to realize that while they had the warm surroundings of comfort, family, friends and great food…you were in hell. A cold, careless H E L L! Bless all of your sweet souls for holding on to hope and understand we are doing EVERYTHING WE CAN to get you and yours out of the hell you are in. WE LOVE YOU AND WILL NEVER FORGET EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU! There will be no peace until there is PEACE FOR ALL!

All my hopes and dreams...

I would curl up all alone in a small cage all day and all night. I am a delicate little girl so the loud sounds of others barking and howling all around me in thier cages made me scared, constantly scared. We were all loaded in a van once or twice a week and taken to stores where we, once again, sat in our cages all day while people came by and looked at us in the cold, heat, rain, etc. In the beginning there was hope but I lost it after many trips to the stores then return trips to the rescue service. Was my family really out there? Are they looking for me? Don't they know I am scared and alone in this room full of pups that need a home?

Another trip to the local store, all of our cages packed in the van one on top the other and side by side until stuffed. I had stopped looking people in the eyes. I just hid in the back of my cage hoping it would all just go away. Suddenly I heard a man tell his wife "look at this one honey". To my surprise they were looking at me. The wife said "oh my God she is sooo skinny and sad". Yep! They were definately talking about me. Next thing I know they are letting me out to visit with the couple. I immediately jumped in the man's lap and began to do a little whiney sound that made the woman get closer and love on me. She actually looked deep into my eyes as if to tell me something but I didn't understand. And then, like before, I was put back in my cage and off they went. Oh dear, how many times can a heart break before it actually falls completely apart??

Wait, what is this? They are coming back! OMD! THEY ARE COMING BACK! I heard them tell one of the employees they "were back from the bank"!! I was so happy at this point that I was no longer cowered in the back of my cage. I perked my ears up and my little brown eyes veered through the bars of my cage and I just listened. It didn't take long before I heard my new Dad ask if he could please go ahead and take me out of my cage while my new Mommy filled out all of the paperwork. YAY!!!!! Free!! I was FREE!!! My new Daddy and Mommy took me to the pet store to pick out my new bed, food bowl, collar, leash, and new dog toys; all for me.

Before I knew it I was whisked off to a big beautiful home with three other dogs and a MASSIVE back yard (we have since adopted another one so, five dogs). I haven't been back in a cage since that grand day. I haven't been scared since that grand day (except for those stupid vet visits). I do have to put up with some obnoxious barking and howling on occasion but it is not the same as the kind at the rescue...it is usually my siblings pitching a fit when Mom and Dad go somewhere.

All my Hopes and Dreams came true. I hope they did for you too!

SOMEBODY send me number to the ASPCA!!!

I am not a happy girl! Nugget had to have surgery last Thursday and it has been "all about Nugget" since then. I tried to jump between Nugget and Mommy when they were cuddling (like I always do) and mommy got mad & told me no. She actually told me "NO"!! I am in shock at they way they are treating me. They wouldn't let me get any special playtime in with Nugget either! I mean, what is going on here. I am not familiar with abuse but am pretty sure this is it. Seriously! SOMEBODY send me the number to ASPCA so I can file a complaint. If you do not have that number I would like the one to DFDS (Department of Family and Dog Services)!!! Geez!

I Gots Lots of Love!

Mom and Dad have been very, very tired over the last week because my sisfurs, Ginger and Nugget have been having a really hard time with all the evening storms we have had this week. Seems we have a horrible storm every night since Monday and Mom’s greatest fear is the big Oak tree in front of our house landing on us. She doesn’t know I can read minds but, I can. She has the most horrible fear that that tree will crash on our house one day, during a bad storm. She has had an estimate to have said tree removed but, we don’t have that kind of money right now. The bad thing is the BIG tree is sooo close to the house and right next to our master bedroom.

I decided I must make her not worry too much. I started loving on her lots. Every time she woke up in the morning, every time she left for work, every time she got home, every time she lay in bed…I loved on her. She liked it!

Tonight, Mom and Dad lay in bed and watched TV for a little bit. Storms started, again. Mom had to deal with Ginger and Nugget as they were freaking out and she did the most amazing job of petting both of them at one time, making them feel like “life was ok”. They loved it.

Once Ginger and Nugget were calmed down they went to one of our many dog beds in the master bedroom. I now feel like I should let Mom and Dad know how much we love them for taking care of us. As such, Dad leaned over for a “good-night kiss” from Mom and I felt like I should get in on that. As Mom and Dad kissed, I jumped in there and gave a little kiss myself. Dad called it a threesome…not sure what that means but, we LOVED each other! BOL!!

Birthday

Today is my birthday so I expect lots of hugs & kisses from Mommy when she gets home from work this afternoon! Mom says we will have to celebrate my Birthday (officially) this weekend because Daddy is working nights and both of them need to be there for my celebration. I am ok with this because I am Daddy’s girl and there is no celebration without my Daddy! BOL! Love to all my Pup Pals!!

My Birthday was amazing!

Mommy, Daddy and I loaded up in the car and headed to Top Dogs Pet Boutique in Kennesaw, Georgia so I could pick out my own toys and birthday cake/treats. I went a little crazy and made mommy spend $85 but, she didn’t care. She just loved watching me and Daddy walk all around the store sniffing, licking, rubbing, everything in sight (I was doing that…not daddy! BOL!) and when I was done, I did it again! I made sure to get enough treats to share with my brofur and sisfurs and they really appreciated it. Especially Braun because he gets pretty upset when one of us goes for a car ride without him! BOL! Anway, thank you so very much for all of the pawesome messages & prezzies for my special day last week. Mommy is going to add a couple of pics to show you how much fun we had. LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!
