Block The Television!!!

I have many admirers. People are constantly calling my name and wanting to pet me. I do love all the attention. I love it so much that when others are petting my brother, I rush over to get in on the petting!!! :) He shares with me easily . . . He is a good brother.

After we left the park today, Miss Megan and Miss Linda came over for a visit. Trucker, Sierra, Spencer and I listened to the humans chatter and laugh at some show they were watching on the television. After the Dog Is Love event, Mr. Jamie brought over this huge television that takes up one wall of the condo. He has never returned for it, so I guess it is ours.

It sounds like we will be having more visits because of the television. Humans are easily entertained . . . Although, I have to admit I find myself watching from time to time . . . especially if there are furs and other animals on.

Tonight mom wached a show titled Dog Genius. If your humans have not seen it, BLOCK the television . . . They reveal just how smart we are. The nerve giving all our secrets away . . . I could see the wheels turning in mom's head as she watched . . . All I could think was, what is she going to have us doing next . . . Oy VEH!!

Every once in awhile I revert back to my Prima Donna image where I feel like I am above it all. Then, I quickly remember how unhappy I was in the dog ring. Our condo may not be as nice and fancy as my other home, but there is a lot of love here.

Plus, I have to admit I like being the only little girl. With my mom#1, there was my fur mom, the champion, and my sister Annie, who is quickly working her way up to being a champion. Here, I am mom's champion black rose. She says I am beautiful like a rose. The thorns are my rough edges and stubbornness. Mom working with me to overcome my insecurities and to take some of the edge off. She likes me being spunky!!! :)

Not to mention, my Hershey likes me just as I am . . . Tee Hee, blush blush . . .

Proud of IT!! III, Me Me Me, :)

Spencer and I did our thing this morning with the tracking. Mom increased the steps, so we are at a greater distance. I look to mom for direction at times. Spencer pulls right along, head down, tail wagging, and mom trailing behind trying to keep up. . . :)

This tracking stuff really makes one think and remain focused on the task at hand. I like that we have more control . . . Ha! We have the noses!!! Mis Sally said mom can't say no to us . . . only positives allowed. There is no obedience in tracking!!! I am liking it more and more!!! :)

Once we got to the dog park I tracked my way off the bench back to the pic nic table. I smelled liver treats. A lady came in with them in her pocket in a zip lock bag. I jumped up on the table and politely placed my snout in her poket. She had forgotten she had the treats. I reminded her nicely they were there "a-n-d" that I'd like a few . . . She asked mom if it was okay laughing about the situation . . . Mom said yes and thanked her for asking prior to sharing my find with me. :)

Once the bag was opened she was surrounded with furs!!! I got mine first :) It is all about me and I am not ashamed to say so . . . I am a selfish, pushy fur and proud of it!!!!

Curelty At It's Worst!!!

I was sleek, quiet, and bold. Everyone was watching the basketball game . . . Humans are intense when soprts are on . . . Needless to say, I knew it was time for me to make my move. In my possesion, I had a huge beef rib bone that I watched Aunt Val place into the trash can.

Just as I attempted to find a place to hide to devour my prize . . . I heard . . . "She has a bone!!!" I attempted to make my way past Aunt Val and Uncle Robert . . . I dodged and tried to out move them . . . I am sad to say I lost that battle . . . It was taken away from me . . .

Earlier, I JUST could not help myself!!! I jumped into Aunt Val's lap as she rudely ate a HUGE JUCY rib right in front of my nose. . . How dare she slowly savor the taste of that wonderful barbecued meat. Teasing me and taunting me like that, what gives??? That was Curelty at it's worst!!! I thoroughly surprised her when I almost snatched the "Beautiful" meaty rib out of her hands. After I did not succeed, at that very moment I began to plot and plan my move to get that bone . . .

Next Time . . . It's mine . . .

Darn Humans

Mom must be out of her ever living mind!!! After we tracked this morning, played at the dog park, and walked the natural trails . . . She had the audacity to take us on a long drawn out walk in the neighborhood!!!!

Spencer and I knew we were headed toward our home and we were ready to get there fast!!! NOooo, we turned around and headed back to the DOG PARK!!!!! We protested and came to a complete HALT . . .

We both thought, there are two of us and one of her. Vigi and her mom were with us. Vigi was protesting too!!! She is what they call a giant Airedale. She looks like this, but bigger! Naturally, I figured the three of us against the two humans would win out . . . Especially with Vigi on our side!!!! Darn humans won out and we continued back toward the park . . .

I have never been so happy to see our car!!!

Barely Worth MY Time . . .

We dropped the chocolate boy off . . . Yes!!! Mom and I had some quality time together this morning after the park. I love having mom to myself!!! Soon, a lady arrived and she had all sorts of fun stuff in her car. The best thing was FOOD!!!! I will go anywhere and do anything for food!!!!!

We walked back and forth in the park. . . Each time I got to the glove I got L-O-T-S of treats!!! The lady, Miss Sally, was talking about wearing our harnesses during scent work only; about how to lay scents; the wind; the trees; the soil; the weather . . . OY VEH!!! Talk, Talk, Talk . . .

ALL I cared about was finding the scarf and especially the glove!!! The scarf I have to say,was stingy with it's treats . . . BUT the Glove . . . The lovely glove, was Extremely generous with treats. It was barely worth my time finding the scarf . . . Although, I have never been known to pass up a treat. . . So I decided to give it minimal attention . . . Then I was off tracking the glove. Oh yes!!! The glove with glorious treats and lots of praise!!!

Some one really needs to talk to the scarf about giving more treats . . .

God Gave Humans Hands . . .

I lounged a-l-l day furs. Well, except when I was dinning, going out for a break and getting some fresh air. Isn't it glorious having humans for companions.

I have decided, God gave Hunans Hands to 1) feed us; 2) pet us; 3) play with us and 4) clean up after us. Furs, I would not have it any other way!!! Aren't humans lucky to have the honor of caring for us. I bet you four paws, they wouldn't have it any other way either. It's a great life for a Dogster fur!!!

Speaking of Dogster, we are hoping to attend the Meet and Greet in San Francisco, April 2010. It sounds like great fun!!! I love a party!!! My brother is hoping they will have some straight line lure coursing. Mom will not let him do the turns because so many dogs get injured doing turns. Spencer also wants to meet Sassy NPC and her mom!!!

I am hoping we go, so I get to meet "my" Hershey!!!! :) Spencer wants to meet him too but I am only mentioning my wanting to meet him!!! You did not read anything about Spencer and Hershey . . . :)

Hello!!!

Do the words "Beauty Sleep" mean anything to humans moving furniture in the middle of the night???!!! I can't believe a huge UHAUL was parked outside my home . . . They were there a long time. We stayed up and watched television until they left. It was extremely difficult not to bark. I wanted to give them a piece of my mind. If they return tonight . . . It will be extremely difficult for me to hold back . . . Vocals are warmed up and the four paws are ready for action!!

We stayed home today . . . Mom was too tired to drive. Hopefully, we will get back to our routine tomorrow.

I Vow . . .

Even though mom is working again, she finds time to incorporate our training sessions into the days. I'll never tell her, but I actually like working with her and training with Spencer. I can tell from her facial expressions she is content and pleased when we move in unison!!!

The atmosphere in our home has changed dramatically! We all seem to be in much better moods. Furs, I know you catch my drift when I say "I feel so much better and lighter" after going potty. :) Mom says, "a dark cloud has been lifted and she can see clearly!!!" I feel safe and secure. I belong and do not have to compete for mom's attentions. This is my furever home!!! :)

I want you all to know something. Even though I am mean to Spencer from time to time, I do like him! I have to tell you, he has been a bit odd lately. . . He has been smelling my backside the past few days. He {never} gets that close to me . . . Although, I have to admit, I smell him "all the time" but that is my "prerogative!" I have it like that. I waltz right up and push my head between his legs and sniff whenever mom has him on the floor brushing him!!! He" tries" to give me
cocker-tude, but I think I have him afraid of me. :) I know!!!! I know!!! I am in the wrong . . . He has never tried to fight with me . . . Nor fight back . . .

I vow this night, Monday, May 18, 2009 to be nicer to Spencer and learn to play with him!

Scents, so human . . .

Mom was busy this morning grabbing this and that. She removed the bedding from our kennels. I noticed she took her bedding too!! When she left the house she had big bags with her. She returned later with Aunt Val. :) I noticed her putting my bedding back in my kennel . . . I went over and mhhh, it smells so, so human!!! She even washed the oval beds Spencer and I sleep on from time to time and the fur pads on the back seats of our car!!! I wonder why she washed our things??!!!!

Now it will take us forever to get our scents mixed in with the scent of the laundry detergent. Oy Veh!!!! She makes more work for us!!!!
