Blog From A Dog

Yep,, we dogs think you people are crazy. You work all day and don't take time to play. We guard the house but it is part fun as well. If your work is not fun, then why do it? Momma tells me it is to put a roof over our heads and food in our bellies. I guess that makes sense, but it doesn't seem fair that we don't get to spend as much time together. Speaking of crazy, why is it that people tells us we can't go to the bathroom in the house? They trains us from puppyhood that we have to go outside. Well, once we get older, we realize that it is better to go outside as we get to explore the neighborhood and see what has been happening. We get to leave pee mail and go to parks to run off leash. Our bathroom experience is a lot more fun. So if we have to go outside, why do they get to go inside? I mean really?!! They stink up the house, which they would be mad if we did that, they pee inside a little bowl which would be a lot more fun outside peeing in the grass and if w...

It has been a while since Momma let me on the computer. She has been using it a lot and I had to sneak in this morning before she gets on it. Man, what a run I have had the last two days! The workers at the park have been playing with me.  They come in to clean up the dog park and we get to say hi. Then the fun begins!! Yard cart chasing! I get to run after them while in the park. These two new friends are so nice that they will take a few extra minutes after cleaning up to run the carts along the fence and around the park so I can run after them. They even turn around and do it again. This morning they came back a third time after emptying the trash around the lake. So much fun! There is nothing like running. I get into the zone and forget everything but the cart. Momma says that is because I am part greyhound. My lab side gets involved, too, I think! I love people who love me. I love all people, well, all except one. He is not nice. He used to tease me and my friend when ...

I had a lot of fun with my friend, Millie, on Sunday. Momma let us play for a loooongg time in the bark park. I didn't know it but it was the last time we would get to play. Momma said they were moving. Very sad. I loved playing with Millie as she enjoyed running as much as I did. There have been a lot of my friends that I used to play with and have moved away. Many human and dog friends seem to play with me for a while and then move away. I get really sad because I love them soooo much and love playing with them. These days I crave lots of attention from both humans and dog friends. Heck, I even wish I had some more cat friends. I miss my cat friend,, Murphy. I am afraid my Momma gonna nove away and leave me behind, too. There are some days I don't eat all my cookies treats until she comes home at night, even though Momma will come home at lunch time to visit. I give her really sad eyes and put my head down on my paws, but it doesn't stop her from going  to work. I d...

Bones, glorious bones. I love to chew them. Rice bones, milk bones, beef bones, knee caps ... they are all good. Last week I was so into my bone that first thing in the morning I started chewing on one as Momma was getting ready to go walking with me in the morning. It was cold so it took Momma  a little longer to get ready and I got her up early on her day off. She hates when I do that, but I go to bed early and wake up earlier than her. Momma finally gets ready to go and I don't want to anymore. I mean, I am chewing on my bone and getting into it but she wants me to go. Momma got a little impatient. She went into the livingroom and got the leash, hooked me up and expected me to go. I just kept chewing. She took my bone away and I figured, okay, I guess I can go. When she turned her back to leave, I grabbed my bone and followed. Momma kept trying to get me to leave my bone behind but, nope, I wasn't gonna do it. So I went walking with my bone. We walked the whole apartment...

Next to smells, noises can be the best thing. I have exceptional hearing and know when a truck or golf cart is coming and I am ready to have fun barking and chasing it. But some noises are bad. Like those from a thunderstorm or fireworks. Those scare me. Last night I went out with my Mom to take out the trash and the booms started early - 6:30!! I pulled Mom all the way back home because I was so scared. She kept telling me that it was just noise but I didn't like it one bit. She sat on the floor with me for an hour, cuddling and petting me. I may have played it up a bit to get the lovings for that long, but hey, I deserved it after that scare. Then they did it again this morning at 6:30. We were taking our usual morning walk and someone kept making those loud booms. I barely went to the bathroom and pulled Momma all the way back home from the front of the complex. I didn't even take my time in the park. I want to go out today but don't know about the noises. I have a...

This is KK's Mom. I just had to tell you how cute KK can be at times. She wouldn't like me telling you but you will enjoy this. Yesterday was a fun day for us. We had a special Christmas present - old friends of ours and walking buddies came back to visit after almost 3 years. We met up at the park and it was like we hadn't been apart. The dogs were excited to see each other. They had a nice walk and a little time to play in the park afterward, though at that point they were all going their own ways. Last night I was sitting in the living room and KK had gone to bed early, tired from all the fun and excitement of the day. In her sleep, KK started to bark softly and I could hear her tail thump on the bed. She was reliving her morning of happiness. She relives her really good days in her dreams and I can hear her. One night I heard her singing (howling) softly. She loves to sing .... STOP IT MOMMA! Oh my gosh, how embarrassing. Please don't listen to my Momma. Don...
