Time for some dog dancing!!!

Cindy came to quarantine today all excited, and she said she was looking at that calendar thing of hers that's kinda got her fixated these days....she said "6 weeks to go!" Well, not sure what that means, but she said we were 2/3 done with quarantine...that's okay...wish it was just DONE though...sigh...

But then she finally said something I could understand...she was playing with my paws and my toes, and she said that there was like a paw and a half of weeks left, and when we started there were more weeks than I had toes...wow...

I'm still gonna learn that song "We shall Overcome" though...gonna teach it to all the doggies on my kennel row and we're gonna sing it when Uncle Dwayne, our attendant comes and when Cindy leaves after visits!

We shall overcome....

7 weeks left, according to Cindy. We had a great grooming day again, complete with lots of kisses by me on her face...she said it's hard to groom me when she's laughing but she can't fool me, she loves it.

She brought us some of those yummy liver treats this morning that she was giving us right before our big trip! Wow, whatever it is that prompts her to bring those I don't care, they're way yummy. She says there's something called chamomile in it, and that she drinks that same stuff in her tea.

She also said there's gonna be those big noises tonight that the humans do every summer, but she didn't think it would be too bad up at quarantine. Just that some of the doggies gonna be way sound sensitive and she said me n' Barney should try to set a good example and be calm.

Ha. My paw. This place is gonna go nuts when those fireworks start.

Still seems like a very long time...

Cindy said we're more than halfway through this quarantine gig...

Well, any news about almost being out of here is good news...but this is kinda getting old and it's wearing on me now. And it's literally wearing on Barney. The little guy's always sat kinda lopsided, on his left hip...and being on concrete all the time...now it's worn kinda bald over there.

Cindy had the quarantine vet check him and she said he looks okay, no skin problem...but still...

I'm so tired of concrete and steel...and so thankful for moments of grass and dirt and not looking at stuff through a wire fence...

Does the second half of something go faster than the first???

Best Grooming Day EVER!!!

So today, Cindy arrives at quarantine early, like almost always on grooming day. We had new doggies move into the kennel section next to us, so Cindy didn't take me through there on the way to the grooming station cuz she didn't want to raise a ruckus and disturb the new neighbors...they just got here and they're in "quarantine quandry..."

So at first, I thought the grooming day visit might not be as good as usual...not as much time out of my jail cell...but I ran to the grooming table and put my paws up on it to let Cindy know I was ready and raring to go.

I love grooming day...Cindy hugs me a lot, I give her kisses, I look nice after...although sometimes there is that bath thing at the end...

But today, I watched Cindy keep looking and looking and looking through her big bag of dog stuff...dare I hope??? YES! YES!!! Thank the Maker YES!!! She forgot the shampoo!!!!!

You know, maybe having a lot on her mind at work is okay...

Worrying about Cindy

Wow...she has looked so tired when she comes visiting these days...
I mean, she's not missing any visits, and she is always so happy to see us and to be with us...but I can tell watching her walking in that she walks like she's carrying something really heavy...but then I go stick my nose in all of her bags and I can't find anything extra heavy...

So the weight is just on her mind. Humangoneitall...I wish I was home with her, she needs me more right now. Stupid quarantine....

Thank you Dogster!!! For liking my diary!!

Oh dog oh dog oh dog...I made Doggie Diary of the Day?

What an honor!!! And the day before my birthday too!!! You gave me something to really prance and bark about today Dogster!!! Many howls of thanks...

Hey...Barney? Barney...where are you? I can't see you over there in the next kennel...Barney????

I am Hawaiian royalty!!!

I was born on the same day as King Kamehameha I...June 11!!! At least that is the day Hawaii celebrates Kamehameha day. So if my birthday is a state holiday, shouldn't that qualify me for an exemption from quarantine? Huh? Huh?

Pondering a hair cut

Wow...it's sure been hot and muggy. Had a good rain this afternoon but even that didn't really cool stuff down. Cindy's shaved my legs and my belly to help keep me cool, but she's been talking about shaving my whole coat. Wow that would be one big job...and I can't imagine how odd I'd look. Maybe just being here in quarantine it won't matter much. I really wish I had a pool to splash in, that is like my favorite thing to do.

Jailbreak!!!

Yesterday, when Cindy came to jail for visiting hours, she was moving Barney from my kennel back to his own - we get family time now, we can all be in one kennel - I managed to dash out and get a fast lap in. Cindy didn't chase me or get excited...she just stood and called me and of course I came back...no one from the quarantine station even saw me, I was so fast....

Just needed to stretch my legs a little and feel the wind through my fur.

We are 1/4 of the way done with our jail sentence. Still hoping for a hacksaw in the mail from Miss Eve.

Can I get a good interior decorator?

This place is just so blah. Concrete and steel fencing...gray, gray,gray.

I need color I tell you. I gotta send Cindy after some decorations.

I get out of my pen at least once a week now on what Cindy calls "grooming day." It is so wonderful to feel real grass and dirt under my paws, and I even get to dig a little. And then while I'm up on the grooming table I am at the perfect height to give Cindy kisses.

I wish every day was grooming day.
