Blog From A Dog

Why do I have to get brushed? My Momma has tried to brush me over the years and I let her do it for a few minutes, then run off. As I am getting older, I am more tolerant of her cleaning my ears, wiping me down but I still fight or run away when it comes to a bath or getting brushed. I still hate baths but just recently I became a fan of  "The Brush." Oh my Dog, what a wonderful thing the brush is. It goes through the fur and down to the skin, getting into every scritch and itch I have. Man, I could sit there for hours. Momma has to limit the time she does it for me because her hands begin to go numb after a while. We have worked out a schedule. When we get back from our morning walk and run at the park, while Momma is boiling her water to make her tea for the day, it is time for brushing! I jump up onto my couch and assume the position. My paws hang over the end of the couch and I watch out the window while Momma begins. Oooooh, it feels so good!!!! She brushes me...

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 ...
