New Bed!

Ma brought home a new bed fur me yesfurday! She moved my old bed out to the garage a coupla days ago. She's been meanin' to wash the cover fur those coupla days, but other washin' always seems to get in front. Anywoofs, I been layin' on that old bed when I's out with Dad supervisin' his garage tinkerin'. So once that old bed gets washed it's gonna stay out in the garage as my outside bed.

The new bed is in the house in my 'lookin' out the window' spot! It smells good although humans' opinion of good not doggies'. It has a smoother texture, too, so think not as much stuff is gonna get stuck in it like to old one. I like it!

Pooches in the Night

Last night sure was excitin'! I gotta meet a coupla dogs I has never met befure!

The ma was bringin' My Boy home from his Boy Scout meetin'. Along the way a coupla dogs came out into the road. One was a boxer and the other a black lab. Luckily it was the road up to our neighborhood and there was no other traffic at the time. It was about 9 o' the clock.

When Ma stopped the car furst to not hit these dogs, but then to check out the situation, both dogs looked in as if they wanted and needed sum help. Ma and My Boy got them into the car and up to the house they came.

Luckily both had tags fur the same phone number. Unfurtunately, no one answered the phone. Ma left a message at both of the numbers listed on the tags.

By 10 o' the clock the folks were wonderin' how they was gonna house these pups fur the night if it came to that. I'll just bark there was sum disagreement on this matter and it wasn't too pretty.

Anywoof, a little after 10 o' the clock there was a phone call. It was the pups' peoples and they were comin' to get them! Hurray!

Splash Dogs Nationals

The Splash Dogs Nationals are takin' place in Rancho Cucamonga this weekend. This marks the official end to the 2011 dock divin' season.

I am not takin' part cause once again the humans won't drive me down to Southern Califurnia. Maybe I should get my own driver license or a bus pass or sumptin!

Anywoofs, I'd watch on the tv but the only sports on is the stoopidy ole football! So I guess I'll just wish all those lucky jumpin' dogs a good time and big splashes!

Caught!

Now on Moonydays the ma does not go to works. But I forgots that an when she and My Boy drove off I thoughts I was on my own fur the day. Ma always tells me to watch the house when I'm home alone. Watch the house fur what?!

Anywoofs, seems the ma was checkin' up on my guard dog work and came home right after droppin' off My Boy at his school! Fur the very furst time ever I was NOT right at the door when she came in. She even took a few steps into the house and still no Pepper! Where was I? Sleepin' on the bed in the ma and dadder's bedroom! "What kind of a guard dog is this?!" I got caught sleepin' on the job!

Hollister-area woman, dog take 4th at World Championships

Wellwoof, normally my Rainbow Bridge sisfur, Jamaica, is sniffin' thru the newspapers to share stories with our pals. She doesn't have ongoin' earthly stories about herself so that's her thing. But this story is about a doggy sport and the doggy and person are from the town I usta do a lotta dock divin' in, Howllister. So the editor, Ma, thought this might fit better in my diary.

Anyhowlz, who woulda thought the little town o' Howllister would turn out a world class agility team?! Conwagulations, Tantrum and Dr. Janet!

Hollister-area resident Janet Dunn and her Papillon "Tantrum" won fourth place in "Small Dog Team Jumping" at the recent 2011 FCI Agility World Championships in Lieven, France.

According to a statement from the American Kennel Club/USA Team, the organization sent 11 competitors including small-, medium- and large-dog teams. The competition over two days involved two team runs and two individual runs, according to the announcement.

Dunn, 59, and her black-and-white Papillon advanced earlier this year to the competition, which took place Oct. 7 to Oct. 9. The longtime veterinarian in the Redwood City area lives on a 5-acre property in Hollister.

Dunn and her dog take part in the American Kennel Club agility events across the state and country. Dunn and Tantrum in the past have enrolled in one event a month from Dixon to Prunedale, she has said.

Agility events are "designed to demonstrate a dog's willingness to work with its handler in a variety of situations. It is an athletic event that requires conditioning, concentration, training and teamwork. Dog and handlers negotiate an obstacle course racing against the clock," according to the AKC group.

Tantrum, a 4-year-old, has been involved in agility competitions since she was just 15 months old.

Home fur the Howlloweenie Day!

Wellwoof, fur it bein' such an occupyin' October it sure ended as a low key Howlloween fur me! Not one ghost or goblin came by my place! Guess mosta the kiddies of the neighborhood is all growed up just like My Boy. We was hopin' our little neighbor boy might come by but guess he spent the Howlloween with his ma. (His Dad is our next door neighbor and mom recently moved out taking their 5 year old son with her. Sad.)

So the scariest thing that happened is our Moe Dim guy might be givin' up the ghost. Moe Dim is not doin' very well keepin' the confusers connected to the infurnet. Seems he might be a bit sickly and we might need to replace him with a new Moe Dim guy. At furst I was scared it was the confuser itself and I might not getsta check on my Dogster pals fur a gazillion years or sumptin! Eeek! But the dadders figured out it was the router or the Moe Dim. And that was my scary, spooky Howlloween!

October almost over?!

Wellwoof, this has been one busy month fur this Pepper pup! I has been busy every weekend in October except this weekend!

The furst weekend I had my dock divin' to do out in Stockton. The next weekend I walked in a pretty park fur the K9 Cancer Walk. The next weekend the ma fur sat my pal Milo and all his fur sibs and I gotta help with that. Then last weekend I went out to Apple Hill with my folks and my uncle's fambily.

I coulda maybe gone dock divin' this weekend too, but the ma said the place was a tad too far and she kinda wanted to stay home this weekend. So we just stayed around the house and I did lotsa fetchin' and had fun in the sun!

Fairgrounds

Had a great time at the Apple Hill place! But mostly really enjoyed where the dadders managed to park the motyhome, the El Dorado County Fairgrounds! He looked around online fur places to stay and learned that when the fairgrounds has room they let motyhomes stay there. Wellwoof, this weekend we was the only ones!

There was a big grassy area that I hads mostly to myself most of the weekend! Plus with the uncle, aunt and cousin I had more ball throwers at my disposal. Talk about fetchin' heaven!

The peoples did enjoy drivin' to all the apple farms and I gotta come along. But mostly me and the ma walked around the apple orchards while the other peoples looked around in the barns and other buildings. Not many apples nor apple treats came my way. But that's ok, I'll take great fetchin' over apples any ole time!

Apple Hill

Woof-howlz! Glad ta see all the comments goin' strong again! I missed barkin' and gettin' barks back!

Anywoof, I is goin' outta town this weekend. So guess the barkin' is a bit short lived fur me. The typist tends to leave the lappy top behind when we goes away. Hope mosta the Dogster fleas are gone by the time we gets back.

Me and the folks are goin' to Apple Hill! Apple Hill is where a buncha apple farms all open up to the public and have a buncha fun things goin' on at each one.

We'll be meetin' my Uncle from Reno out there. He and his fambily makes it to Apple Hill every year. This is my furst time goin' but my fambily has been there before. They usta go every years too, but couldn't make it out fur the last couple.

My Boy decided to stay home this year. He thinks Apple Hill is corny, little kid stuff now. Hey, there's no corn, there's apples! Plus, he's got stuff goin' on with his pals he doesn't wantsta miss. This will be his furst time home alone, even with out me! Hope he is not too lonely! I'll be back on Sunnyday with lotsa licks fur him!

Pills all gone and fur sittin'

Wellwoof, seems the typist got all distracted with the dogster fleas. But I gots stuff goin' on that I wantsta bark about! Life doesn't just stop cause the Dogster's not workin' so good!

Furst, I am all done with my anti-bionicle pills. They has helped my owie go mostly away. And that's good, cause then we don't gotsta have the vet man check fur sumptin' worse than a beenine twomore. I still has an ointment that gets smeared on there fur anofur week, tho.

Next, over the weekend we gotta pet sit Milo and his fur sibs. He has a bunny and 4 kitty cat siblings! We went over to their house everyday and just made sure everyfur is ok with food, water and kitty litters.

Milo sure likes to go fur a walk in the mornings! But when we came by again in the afternoon he just stayed where he was and let us know "no thanks, I walked enuf today". He didn't wants to go fur anofur walk! Ma was a little worried about him. But then when we came by the next mornin' he was all ready and excited to go again! So guess he's just a mornin dog!
