My fault?

2008-09-09T17:12:00.001-07:00

Why is it my fault when Momma leaves the bathroom door open and I get into her pills? She is the one who left the door open and the pill box on the counter - is it my fault that I want to see what she takes everyday?
At least she should be happy that I didn't EAT any of those stinky pills!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

2008-09-07T17:33:00.000-07:00

Well, we've been very busy lately! Mamma and Daddy have take me to 3 doggie parks lately! Bubba Dog only got to go to one! Ha! Ha!
But, the bestest one was yesterday - we went to a piknik near Chicagoe - with about 150 other Golden Doggies just like me!!!!! Mamma tolded me it was a "As Good As Gold" meeting - she is helping other Golden Doggies like me that no one wants and matches them up with families that do want a Golden Doggie! I met a few that were dopted and they tolded me it was the bestest thing that could ever happen to them!
Here is a pikture of me meeting a part Golden Doggie!
She was really nice and tolded me that she loves going to the "As Good As Gold" meetings with her Mommy and Daddy. She had a really bad life before her new Mommy and Daddy dopted her.

And here is a pikture of me with an Old Golden Doggie. He tole me about his hard life until he came to live wif his new daddy. His new Daddy has promised him a wonderful life until he goes to the Bridge - how nice is that?

It wasn't ALL just meeting other Golden Doggies - we had some fun and games too! Mamma and I did the peanut butter contest - but I wasn't hungry right then, there was way too much to look at around me - so we didn't win... Mamma thought we might have a chance, since I LOVE peanut butter and I have a LONG tongue - but I just wanted to meet more Golden Doggies!The very bestest part was a Doggie Cake -made just for us special Golden Doggies! A lot of us tried to sneak in extra pieces, but I only gotted two - one from Daddy, and then Mamma gave me one without knowing Daddy had already done that!!! And Mamma is planning on making me a Doggie Cake for my Birfday! I hope it's as good as this one at the piknik was! I was so tired, I slept all the way home in the moving box! I woked up enough to tell Bubba Dog all about my day, but he wasn't happy because he was lefted at home, so I took another nap!

She won't PLAY!!!

2008-08-08T20:11:00.000-07:00

Mamma won't play wif me. She keeps telling me no when I bring her the ball to throw for me. She says she is busy watching the big picture screen. I think she could at least throw the ball, but she says she wants to watch this thing with lots and lots of people and flags and outfits. She says this lasts 2 weeks! What am I going to do without PLAYING? I NEED the ball to be throwed. At least she assured me that this thing only happens every four years. Maybe I can get Daddy to throw the ball for me...

Daddy brought me a playmate!

2008-07-29T18:08:00.001-07:00

Daddy lefted last Friday, and it was just me, Bubba, the Girls and Momma all weekend. Momma went away on Saturday to see a friend in some city she said was Windy. But, we had all day Sunday with just Momma! She throwed the ball for me for a long time!
Then Daddy came home yesterday with the Boy - their son. He was here for a little while right after I came here to live, but then he left a year ago for some place called College and then to live with another Momma. But, then he called Daddy and asked to come home, and Daddy went down to some place called Georgia and gotted him and broughted him back!
Now I have someone to play with! The Boy has a lot of energy and likes to play! I love to Play! Playing is something I could do forever!
So, now he lives in the lower rooms and comes up to play a little! Daddy and Momma seem happy to have him home! I know I am!

Darn Bubba!

2008-07-22T17:42:00.001-07:00

He blogged about me losing my privates. It's not funny. I am no longer a full Golden Boy. It was horrible. Momma and Daddy tooked me to the Pokey Place because I had a sore on my ear. The Pokey Person said it was a hot spot. Whatever. I just know Momma said it felt very hot to her when she tried to clean it. It itched me.
I do not know what I did rong then. Momma and Daddy just lefted me there at the Pokey Place. Just left me. And the Pokey People did not feed me, or gif me water all nite. And then they Pokeyed me the next morning and I fell asleep. When I woked up, my hot spot was feeling better, but my privates hurt.
At least Momma came later and rescued me from the Pokey Place, but then I found out I had to wear a big lamp thing on my head. Momma and Daddy both laughed, and Bubba said he knew it was going to happen, and the Girls sat on the frigerator and laughed and laughed at me. The worst part was it was very hard to PLAY wif it on. And, according to Daddy, my "job description" (whatever that is) as the Puppy is to PLAY (and sleep and eat and poop... among other things!)
Momma tooked her flashy thing, and I tried to give her the Golden Smile, and here's what I looked like with the lamp thing on my head.

Poor Patches

2008-07-16T16:54:00.000-07:00

Oh man!!! Daddy was just telling Momma about our neighbor puppy (Momma calls him a weener dog???). Patches was with his Momma and Daddy and they went to a house, and when Patches' Daddy was taking her out to pee (I love to pee!!! So does Bubba!) - a Rotten Wiler and another doggy ATTAKED her!!! It tooked five hoomans to rescue Poor Patches! Thank goodness she's ok, but I bet she was skared. I know I would be. It skares me enuff when Bubba bites my nose!

Water!

2008-07-15T17:37:00.000-07:00

Ok, I was tolded that Goldens, like myself, love water. So, when Daddy went up the ladder and got in the big huge waterbowl, I followed. Well, I followed up the ladder to the top. Daddy tried to get me in the big waterbowl, but I was not sure if it would be fun.
Momma tooked piktures of me - so I'll share a couple with you!!!
Yes, I gotted scared and ran away! Later, I DID get in the big waterbowl, when Momma gotted in there and was floating on a bed. She did not get a pikture, since she said she will not let her precious baby get wet (I think she was talking about the flashy box). I went in without using the ladder - and I quickly jumped out! It wasn't fun at all. I gotted very wet and had to roll and roll and roll to try and dry off. Momma and Daddy didn't seem happy with me rolling and rolling, but I had to get dry.
They are talking about a baby waterbowl for me and Bubba, so we shall see what happens.

Da PARK!!!!!

2008-05-26T08:58:00.000-07:00

Oh Boy! Daddy and Mama tooked me to a place they called the Park! It was so cool! I gotted to walk all over the grass, and even stopped and checked out the News. Bubba told me about checking out the News - and today I got to check out a LOT of News!

This is me checking out the News at the first stop we made! Another doggy said it was a nice Park, and another said they met a big Animal with hard feet and someone on top of it!

Daddy tooked me all over, we walked while Mama tooked her flashy box and pointed it at me wherever we went!

Daddy and Mama say they are going to take me to Park more! They said I need xersize - and they said they needed xersize too!

I was tired when we were done, and they took me in the wheely thing to a place that smelled like doggy heaven - Mama called it burreetoes that they brought into the wheely thing! But I didn't get any of the doggy heaven, but I was happy to get my own water!!!! Mama says I have a tongue that is too big for my head! I used it to get lots of water!

Visitors!

2008-04-11T17:15:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited! Momma's Momma and Daddy are here visiting wif us! Gramma will actually PLAY tug wif me and my rope! Grampa does not seem to like me and Bubba much, but that is ok - Gramma will play wif me!
She will not play ball wif me, she saz it is becauz I slobber all over the ball! Maybe that is why the Girls call Bubba and me the Slobbery Hound Things...
I will haf to think about it! But first - it is time to EAT!!!!!

My BirthyDay!!!

2008-03-12T18:48:00.000-07:00

Mama has been down with the flu, so she did not let me blog until tonight.

My 1st Birthy Day was last Friday - March 7th! It was so fun! Daddy and Mama boughted me a cake and icey cream. I had to share with Bubba but that is ok. It was nummy!!! And then Mama gave me a new STUFFIE!!!! Another duckie - like my other one that gotted throwned away. I was so happy to get one - and I carried it around everywhere.

Except when Mama and Daddy gaved me a BONE! Bubba gotted one too but he did not finish his and I snuck it away from him and finished it.

Then later I gotted a PIGGY EAR! Bubba finished his - so I did not get more - but it was really nummy!

We ated cake and icey cream and bones and piggy ears all weekend! Mama says I was a piggy myself but I only ated what they gave me!

My duckie was so great I ated his insides - so Daddy throwed him away. I was sad but Mama played ball wif we for a long time and I gotted over it.

I hope all my Birthy Days are this great! Now if we can just figure out when Bubbas Birthy Day is. He is a dog with no papers - whatever that means - and he was dopted from a cagey place - so no one is sure when his Birthy Day is. Mama says we might just have him a Birthy Day in June - near Daddys Birthy Day. Since my Birthy Day is just tree days before Mamas - then we all can have cake and icey cream again with Daddy!!!!!

Cold white stuff!!!

2008-02-03T14:31:00.001-08:00

Oh wow! I love the cold white stuff that is coming out of the sky! I like to run and play and and jump in the white stuff!
Bubba Dog doesn't like to play in it as much as I do. He just goes out and marks a spot and then runs back to go inside. I want him to run and play with me!
Today Mama cheered at me. She said I lifted my leg way high for the first time. She says I'm growing up! I'm not a puppy anymore. She doesn't know it, but I've been lifting my leg for a while - I watched Bubba Dog and wanna be like him! He lifts his leg, and so I learned to too. He wasn't very happy that I did it where he just did it, but it just seemed like the right thing to do!
And I mean to be a puppy for a long time. I have a lot of things to destroy yet. I have more remotes to destroy and more clothes to eat and more cords to chew threw.

Changes

2008-01-21T19:36:00.000-08:00

Wow, it has been a very enteresting time since Santa Paws came.

First, the Boy tolded Mamma and Daddy that he was moving some place called Gee-Or-Gee-Ah. I guess it is far away from El-i-noy, and Mamma and Daddy had a lot of water coming out of their eyes for quite a while. He tolded them one night and left the next morning. Dizzy was not happy about him leaving her, but I try to make her feel better by PLAYING - but she just runs away. I keep telling her that PLAYING will make everything better but she says I am just a baby slobbery hound thing and I am stupid. Mamma says I am smart and Bubba says a cat noes nothing.

And now our house is really different. We have new colors on all the walls, and today some men came and put down really soft ground in the big room. Then Daddy broughted new sitting places in - but he and Mamma will not let me or Bubba sit on it. They said we scratched up the old sitting places and so we can not get on the new ones. I just no me and Bubba wanna lay on them, and we keep getting swatted off. At least the new ground is soft.

I also gotted to play in the cold white stuff outside! I like the cold white stuff! Mamma tooked this pikture of me while I was playing in it and trying to get her to play too!

Then I gotted tired and came inside and tooked a nap. This was when we were allowed to get on the sitting places. Daddy even had a big square stuffie that I could curl up with.

I am now 10 monts old. Momma and I have close birthy-days, and she is talking about having a party for me! She wants to show off her new-like house and she said March would be a good time to do it with it being my very first birthy-day and her forty-first birthy-day (she said I was not supposed to tell how many birthy-days she is - but I am just a puppy - so I did it anyway!) I hope we do have a party - I like having people over to PLAY with!

Santa Paws came!!!

2007-12-25T11:50:00.000-08:00

Wow, Mamma kept telling me that I was being a bad puppy and that Santa Paws wasn't going to get me anything...
But she was RONG!
He brung me a basted bone - nummy! And Bubba and I had to share a stocking filled with treats! Mamma says the stocking helped puppies at shelters - so it was a double treat. I guess Santa Paws makes special things that help other puppies and kitties that don't have homes at Christmas time. I feel really bad when I think of any puppies and kitties that don't have homes. At least I know my Doggie Mamma and Doggie Daddy and all my brothers and sisters have good homes!
And I have the bested - I get to eat treats and PLAY and PLAY and PLAY!
I hope all of you were visited by Santa Paws this year! Don't forget the poor kitties and puppies that don't have homes...

I'm green!

2007-12-19T16:24:00.000-08:00

It's been quite a while since I was allowed to play on the computer. I have been grounded and have had to study spelling all this time. I gotted grounded because Daddy's sister keeps coming over and putting colored stuff on the walls. She says she is decorating and painting, whatever that is.

But, I keep trying to eat the colored wet stuff and when I can't eat it, I try to lick it off the wall. And the other day, I rested against the wall, cuz I was tired, and Mama said I turned green! So, they grounded me from the computer.

But, I've been better, and so I'm back!

I lost my Stuffie - I had a hedgehog that I loved, but Bubba got a hold of it and chewed a hole in it - so I had to pull all the innards out! So Daddy threw it away! I was sad, but then Mama went to the door and opened it up - and now I have a new Stuffie! It's a teddy bear, and I love to have Mama and Daddy throw it and I get to chase it! I think I need to PLAY now! Bubba is chasing me, and I need to get the tug o rope and see if he will play with me!

More coming - unless I get grounded - there is more color coming!

Spelling Better

2007-09-30T13:52:00.000-07:00

Well Momma was sick for all the past month so she spent a lot of time teaching me better spelling. She says I am the smartest puppy ever borned - but to not tell Bubba that becauz he might get jealous.
Momma had something called brawn-kie-tis and it wented into new-moan-yah and now she has a skin yeast infektion all over her body. She smells good cauz she is using this powdery stuff called gold something but she will not let me lick at it.
At least she is feeling better and will play with me. She and Daddy are now both playing chase the ball with me a lot.
Bubba keeps steeling my ball and hiding it behind the couch but Daddy will rescue it for me!

Spesial Water!

2007-08-21T16:30:00.000-07:00

Oh Wow! I feel so spesial! Mama came home a few dayz ago an brout home a big box. Daddy opened it an started laffing! I waz rite at hiz side an could not see what waz so funny. All I saw waz a small potty bowl. Just like the big one in the room wher Mama and Daddy go pee-pee. I like that water.
Then they put the little potty bowl on the floor an put water in it!
Even better water than in the big potty! I can drink an drink an drink!
An then Mama putted one in the sleeping room! Now I can drink outta a potty bowl all day an all nite!
Mama thought I waz so cute, she even got out the flashie box an tooked my pikture!

Lost Toof!

2007-08-10T19:51:00.000-07:00

I waz playin wif Mama an she got paniky an saw blood on her hands! She grabbed me an looked me over an saw I had a bloody mouth. She and Daddy wer talkin bout maybe goin to the pokey place an then she saw a toof on the carpet! I had losted my toof when we played tug a tire! Mama waz really happy an grabbed the toof an put it in a baggie an tooked it downstairs to her room where she plays wif paper and piktures an she said she waz gonna put my toof on a page in her book!
Then I losted anuther toof when Daddy played tug a tire wif me too! It popped out an landed on his lap! He would not play wif me after that. It waz not my fault that my toof came out! Why am I being punished for loosing a toof? I felt bad an tryed to get Daddy to play wif me, but he kept sayin no.
Then Mama said that a Toof Fairey mite vizit me! An she would bring me treats!
An when I woked up the next day, there was a treat under my pillow! I missed the Toof Fairey, but I liked what she brung me!
Mama saz I am growin too fast! But, I keep tellin her I am still a baby an I like to be spoiled!

Vakation!

2007-08-01T10:58:00.000-07:00

Mama and Daddy took me and Bubba for a ride in the kar! It waz fun! Bubba did not want to share his area in the bak seet but I still had a lot of room to lay down in.
Daddy did not want me in the front seet with him - he an Mama pushed me back. I finally put my head on Daddys shoulder an Mama said "awwww" an that is where I got to stay for most of the ride!
Bubba and I were takin to a place that Bubba calls "Jail" but I thought it was fun! I got to bark at other doggies an one day they tooked me and Bubba out to PLAY! I got to go in the pool an chase a ball and jump around. Bubba just satted and pouted.
After years Daddy came an rescude us! We went for anuther ride an ended up at home. I waz happy to be wif my toys an Daddy an Mama! I got to wake up Mama! I jumped on her an kissed her an told her I waz home!
She loved on me an told me they waz sorry to make us go away but her unkle went to the Bridge an they had to go an say goodbye. I forgave her - but I am not sure if Bubba will soon!

TOYZ!!!

2007-07-26T16:53:00.000-07:00

I luv toyz. Mamma and Daddy let me play wif lots of stuff. My favurite toy is the tire wif the big stringy attached. I pik it up an shake it an shake it. Mamma tells me she thinks I am gonna hurt myself, but Im just havin fun!
Then theres the squeeky ball. My furst Mamma gotted me a squeeky doll but the squeeky stopped. Then Daddy found one in the closet and it is my second favuritest toy. Daddy saz I drive him crazy wif the squeeky when I chew an chew an chew! Mamma just lafs an gits the flashy box.
She tooked one more picture of me - she saz I am adorable in it. So, she said I had to put it on here. I think I waz watchin my squeeky ball. She tooked this when I waz 4 monts old on July 7th. Mamma saz Im just begining to grow into my legz. I dont no what that meanz but she seems happy about it!

Who's Harrie Poter?

2007-07-22T18:23:00.000-07:00

Mama went an gotted a bunch of round thingys that she put in a round machine that hooks up to her ears an she is not doin anyting. Not playin wif me, not pettin me, nutting.
She told Daddy to be kwiate a lot, cus she is listenin to Harrie Poter. She was cryin an sayin someone died on the second round thingy that she has nown since she started Harrie Poter with some Stone thing.
I just want to play wif her an my tire but she saz "no, I am listenin to Harrie Poter this weekend" So I went in an played wif the fun paper on the roll in the pottie room. She was not happy but I need to play! I am still a baby - I need play! And Bubba just bites my noz. So I had to find something to play wif. I need to take a nap now an cuver the cool air hole in the floor.

I am growin!

2007-07-16T16:44:00.000-07:00

I had to go get pokeyed agin today. Daddy says I am finaly a legal dog wit the pokeys now. They gaved me another shiny thing to put on my kollar. I jangle now!
Daddy was also suprized to see I way 36 pounds now - he says I gained 7 pounds in 2 weeks! I am taller than Bubba now! I like to play wif Bubba! He growls but he is waggin his tail - so I do what Mama does - I pet him. Mama an Daddy laf when I do that - Bubba just bites me on the noze!

Mama Luvs Me!

2007-07-12T18:18:00.000-07:00

Mama did a digi scrap book page of me! She said she waz shone one by a friend an she loved it an had to do one of me!
(she did one of Bubba but I will let him show off his!)
I am now just over 4 monts old. Daddy and Mama looked at me tonite an said I was as tall as Bubba! They say I am gonna be a big boy!
Mama spent time tonite playin ball wif me! I ran an ran an ran! I am goin to take a nap now.

Sic

2007-07-05T10:11:00.000-07:00

I have not ritten in a wile - Bubba and me were both sic. Mama an Daddy were worreed about me, I had lots of axidents in the sleepin room a couple of nites, and they kept sayin how stinky an runnie they were. Mama called it die-ah-ree-ah.
When Daddy decided to take me to the nastie pokey people, he also said Bubba was throwin up.
So we all went for a ride to the nastie pokey people, and I had 2 more axidents in the cold room. But the pokey ladie did not seem to be worried about me - she came in and pokied Bubba with some bag of drink. Daddy told Mama it was a eye-vee treetment. I do not know why they call it that - since the pokey ladie didn't mess with his eyes.
The pokey ladie said we had a viruhs. I do not remember catchin a viruhs, but Bubba had one too.
So, she sent us all home with pills to stop the die-ah-ree-ah. I do not mind that, since Daddy and Mama give it to us in cheez. I really like cheez! I try to get Bubbas cheez, but Daddy and Mama make sure I can not get his.
I missed a nite of Puppy Skool becuz I was sick. Mama had a head ake so she did not mind missin Puppy Skool.
Daddy took me this week. Mama had to wurk at some thing for the 4th. I did ok, but I do not like to lay down unless I sit first. Daddy waz not happy wif me on that, but he said I did ok on all my other Puppy Skool stuff.
I am feelin better now. I think I will go play wif my tire now!

Play time!!!

2007-06-22T09:16:00.000-07:00

Oh boy! I am so eggsited! The Other dog - Bubba - PLAYED wif me last nite! For a long time! We nipped at each other and play-growled and we wagged our tales! Mama camed home an she got out the black flashie box and made it flash at us - but I did not care - I was having FUN! I have tryed to play wif Bubba for ever, since I cam to my new house, an this time he PLAYED! Mama said it was for over a hour! I do not know what a hour is - but she said she was happy wif both of us!
Mama even gave both of us a YUMMY!!!! I love gettin YUMMYs - they taste so good!
An we played outzide to! I felt a little sorry for Bubba, cuz he was pantin hard, but he kept PLAYING wif me outzide!
I slept good last nite! I was tired wif all the PLAYING!!!
Bubba is teachin me to spel, an I am havin fun!

Puppy Skool

2007-06-20T14:46:00.000-07:00

Mama says I am the smartes one at puppy skool. I lern fast and last nite Daddy waz wif us! I waz so happy he came, I spent all my time when we waz walkin just watchin Daddy! Mama had the blak box wif her an had it up to her face a lot makin that clikin sound! She saz it is for her scrappin books, but I am not sure what that means.
We lerned to "leave it" last nite. I do not like "leave it"! Daddy held a yummy in front on my noze an told me "leave it" an closed his hand over the treat! I new there waz a treat in his hand, but he would not let me haf it! I really wanted it, since Daddy went away durin the day to some place he called a Kasino an won Mama sum money! Mama waz happy an got me some more toyz and treats! But Daddy had not fed me or Bubba (the other dog) at all - an I waz HUNGRIE! An then he does not let me haf the treat - he tellz me to "leave it"!
Mama sayz it took me a long time, but I got the treat when I sat down - so I new I needed to sit for the treat! But then it did not work - cuz Daddy then put the treat in his hand an put it in front of my noze an I sat, an went for the treat an he said "Leave it!" AGAIN!
An then Mama and Daddy both threw treats rite at the end of my leash an told me to "leave it". I do not like "leave it"! An they both said they are really goin to work on that one with me a lot.
I got them back - they asked if I wanted to pee outside, I did not - I waited until we were in the red rolly thing an I peed in the back seat! That will show them not to say "leave it"!

Alone

2007-06-14T17:48:00.000-07:00

O man, Daddy got up irly todae an tooked the other dog wit him. He left me. I waz not alowed to go wit him. I tryed to go, but he pushd me bac into the hous. I cryed, but he did not let me go wit them.
Mama came out of her pooper room an told me it waz ok. I felt beter but than she left me to!
I waz all alon. I hav never bin all alone befor.
Then Daddy came home with out the other dog! An he smeled like the place that poked me an putted a "micro chipp" in me. I axed Daddy where the other dog waz, but he didnt onderstand me. I waz afrade he mite take me away an not bring me bak.
An then he tooked me to the car an we went to that place.
I waz skared. An he tooked me into a room an a man came in an gave me another poke with a sharp thing. I waz ok tho cuz he petted me a lot.
Then Daddy had the peeple get the other dog. I waz so xcited to see him!
Daddy let us both ride in the car together. The other dog got the frunt seet, so I crawled in Daddy's lap (Mama says that is not a good idea cuz I am goin to be big soon).
When we got home Daddy went into the big water thing outside. I wanted to join him so I climed the latter to the top. Daddy put me in the water an I did the doggie padle for a little bit! The water was so deep I culd not put my paws on the ground! But Daddy held me and then called the Boy on his cill fone and the Boy helped me back on the grass. I thawt it was fun!
Daddy called Mama on the fone an she toled him to get a pikture nex time!
It haz bin a long day for me. I am still a puppy and I am goin to go sleep now.
