California here we come

Well...yes indeed, I will have another airplane trip. I do wish we could just instantly relocate...Cindy would be spared the packing and stress, Ellie and I would forego the long day in kennels and on the airplane. But we do what we must to keep the pack together!

Another plane ride in my future?

Cindy's been talking about going back to the mainland...hmmm...well...I liked California, and truth be told I'm happy anywhere Cindy and Ellie are with me. But the plane ride's kinda hard, I have to be in the varikennel for a long time, and it's noisy...

But she said there's no quarantine...actually, long ago, when me n Ellie finished quarantine here in Hawaii, she promised us we'd never have to do anything like that again.

So maybe this time once we get off the airplane we'll all just be really comfy and can hang out together.

Four years together!

This month, April, will be four years since Cindy and Ellie brought me into the pack...wow, time really does fly because it doesn't seem like such a long time.

I want to eat Cindy's laptop....

She has these technical certification things she does for her job...I know they're important and all...but, to be honest...

I HATE THEM

She gets into this "study mode" thing and we feel like she isn't even living with us any more...she's on the computer all the time studying, or reading. We still get our walks and we get a little play time, but not like I want of course. But more than anything else, she gets stressed and tired.

I really want to just eat the darned laptop but I don't think that would work out so well.

21 Bark Salute!!!

To all the military working dogs on Veterans Day 2011! You rock like no other hounds! It's all about service and devotion and no one does it better than you dogs!

Closing in on 3000 views!

C'mon paw pals and Dogster buddies...I gotta catch up with my pack sis Ellie...

I alreaady got more paw pals than she does but I'm trailing in views!

No costume contest this year!!!

Oh yay oh yay, all paws raised in praise...

Cindy entered a golf tournament...not realizing it was gonna be same time as Petco's Halloween costume contest this year.

WE CAN'T GO!!! OH HURRAY!!!!!!

Kittens in the garage!!! On purpose!!!

Oh my paw...now what? About three weeks ago, Cindy came home with one of her cat-traps with kittens in it. Boy was she upset, too...she goes out trapping kitties every couple of weeks as part of a Trap/Neuter/Release program on Oahu, so she can get them spayed or neutered...but this time...kittens. Maybe four weeks old. She put them in MY varikennel, which is fine, I'm not using it or anything, out in the garage and then she started pacing...and thinking...

Turns out, these guys are way too little for surgery. She said if she was to just let them go, they'd go back into the colony and get big and have kittens of their own, and maybe never ever go in a trap again once it had happened to them. So she's keeping them...she said temporarily...til they get big, and also til they get healthier. These guys must've had it rough man...fleas, worms, ear mites...ringworm...ICK.

Well, fine...they live out in the garage in the cat cave Cindy made, we never ever cross paths, and there's been no change in the routine for me n' Ellie at all. Just hard to believe cats are living just the other side of the wall, you know?

I guess I'm just not sure they'll really want to go back to being feral after all this...I know they miss their momma and the other kittens, but they sure look better now...

Mongoose on the loose!

How DARE they invade our neighborhood? Those fuzzy vermin run right across the street next to our house and lurk around in the high grass and brush...oooooooooooooooh sseing those weasel looking critters just makes my terrier blood BOIL I tell you!

I know I could get one if Cindy would just give me a chance, but no, she puts a death grip on the leash as soon as we see one...sigh...

By the way, what's a cobra??? Cindy says mongoose can kill those...should I worry?

Mililani Dog Park

Sigh...Mama Cindy took me and Ellie to this dog park again yesterday. I wish there were some way that she would understand how much I HATE dog parks...I think she actually knows that, it's pretty clear from my demeanor while we're there. I guess she thinks that if we keep going maybe it will be easier or better for me. Not a chance though...too many bad memories of big doggies running over the top of me and "rolling" me while we were at the shelter. As soon as we arrive at the dog park, there's all these big dogs lurking at the gate and I can just seem them stampeding...of course, Cindy doesn't let that happen, we always get through it and she finds a nice quiet corner of the park where she and I can sit and chill while Diva Dog Ellie cavorts, plays, socializes...it is my curse to live with a dog sister who thrives at a dog park...so I guess I have to endure this a bit more. At least I get to sit on a bench with Cindy and get tummy rubs.

I wish we'd go sometime when no one else was there, that would be nice.
