Sorry

Hello Fans! Sorry I have not updated my blog in so loang - Scooby has been keeping me busy with his chasing and just asking for a beating from me... So busy! Our owners got engaged about a month ago so I guess that means we will all be a legal family soon. I hear they plan to go to Hawaii, I am so excited to run free on the beach and play with Scooby. We will love Hawaii...

What? We're not going? Scooby just informed me we have to go to our special place while they are gone - man that so sucks!! Why can't we go? I don't mind riding under the plane. I need to have a talk with the owners, that's ridiculous that we can't be there to celebrate in the love of our owners not to mention go to Hawaii and play on the beach. I am not very happy about this at all. I will keep you all updated.

Other than that not much is going on at home. It's been rainy so we don't get to go out as much. The owners are not fans of our muddy foot prints. I can't imagine why, it's not like it's hard to clean up, geesh. I need more green grass and fresh air people!! Plus it's so much fun throwing Scooby to the grown and getting him all muddy - makes me laugh!

Well, it's time to go out for a potty break so I will leave you all for now. Wish me luck on Hawaii!!

Nothing new...

Nothing new has been going on for me and Scooby. We got a bath this last weekend which was just horrid if you ask me. Owner got our leashes out and we got psyched because we thought we were going for a walk but low and behold we were being tied to the back deck so she could hose us down and soap us up... Evil trick!! Other owner slept all day so he had no part of it... It was a pretty lazy day for the most part. Owner has been working alot still so we only see one owner at night but we have fun with her. She gives us treats when we go do our business outside or look at the cupboard long enough.

Oh! I have to go, I think I see a squirrel out the window... I need to go get Scooby excited so he'll bark at it!!

When the folks are away... we will play

The owners are gone right now so Scooby and I are running through the house like crazy. Damn new trash can... I can't get it open!! I smell all kinds of wonderful things in there calling my name... I wish I could just..lift...the...lid...a...tiny...bit... ughhh, not gonna happen.

We have a visitor staying at the house and has for over a week. Owner is ready for him to leave as she wants the house back... Visitors are nice but having a whole house to yourself is nicer!

The owners got new furniture for the living room which looks really nice. We are NOT allowed on it and we have basically stayed off of it. See, we can be good!

Anyways, I better go so I can pounce on Scooby, he isn't paying attention right now... hehe...

Back to work...

Well, owner started back to work yesterday. He was a little bummed to not have all the free time in the world but also a little anxious to start this new chapter in his life. Seems he will be gone alot when other owner is home... Well atleast Scooby and I won't be alone often. I just can't help but dig in the trash and it always gets me in troubloe, this way I will be safe from temptation.

I hear we have a new sofa coming that Scooby and I are not allowed to be near. Yeah, we'll see about that! What do they plan to do, put it away when they leave the house? I don't think so!! They did get us a new bed and it sure smells wonderful, I think it's cedar but all I can think of are hampsters.

Life is pretty dull right now. We haven't really been out other than for walks. I have missed my friends at the dog park and it's so nice out I would love to go for a swim. I hope the owners shape up some and take us somewhere fun, we deserve it!! I'll try and be good in hopes that happens....

Posting... finally

Ok, sorry fans.. I have been very busy with all the guests we have had in town.

So let me catch you up... Scooby got out about a month ago when the owners had a friend come check on us while they were away for a night... Some woman up the road found him and returned him... I swear, he isn't very bright sometimes. The owners are so good to us so if he wants to leave that is fine by me, just means more kibble and treats for me!! I watched him run out of the gate but did I leave.. noooo way, I know better. I stayed and waited, it definitelly looked good for me. Some people even thought I did it. People, I can't open the gate. I am brilliant and all but by no means am I strong enough to push that gate open with my head. Thats just crazy.. Also, I have no ill will toward my pal Scooby so I didn't plan it out either... geesh...

Owners brother got married this last weekend so it was hectic at our house with people from all over coming to stay. It was nice to have some new friends to smell and play with. The trash can even seemed tastier with all the extra trash. I got caught one day... boy did I get yelled at...

I've been pretty pissy lately with the owners b/c I don;t feel I get out enough for walks so I decided to show them by tearing a hole in some sheets and eating a pillow. It worked, owner took me for a walk that night. Now I know how to get my way... just destroy something. ;) Although other owner wasn't happy and he was wanting to drop me off in the woods forever, thank goodness he was kidding. I may be big but I am a huge baby plus what would I eat out there... :( I will try and be better!!

My stay at home dad, AKA Mr. Mom

It has been so nice having owner back - he is home with us all day and we get to lay around and go outside and play with him. I hope he never goes back to work. I did hear the owners talking about a job interview he went on. Seems they went to eat at the restaurant last night and loved it. So, he may have a new job soon which I am very sad about... Scooby and I like having him around. It gives us something to do rather than just playing tub of war with each other... that really does get old after awhile.

The owners have their 3 year anniversary coming up soon, I think they are going on some mystery dinner train. I wonder what that means... I assume it means no dogs... :( I was leaning more towards camping b/c then they would take us but it seems the point is not to have us around... Why would they not want us around, we are friendly and always want to be petted, constantly around them and ALWAYS right by their side... Oh wait, I may have just answered my own question... Could we be too needy by chance? Nah!!!

So, our weekend was good. It rained a bit but not enough where we couldn't get outside and tear up the yard some. Scooby has been following around owner all the time, she thinks it cute but other owner calls him momma's boy... He doesn't care, he likes it.

Well, Scooby is waiting for me to come play with big mean kitty so I better go, I have to steal it away from him...

Save my owners dot com

I saw a website today that is a known hoax but it made me think it was a great idea for me to make some money so I can get out and travel more - the dog park and the back yard just aren't much of a trip for me lately, I need more car rides and new parks... It's always the same old same old... Anyways, I saw this site www.savetoby.com which is about a guy trying to raise $50,000.00 - he wants people to send him $ or else he will eat his cute pet bunny Toby. I could have a site, savemyowners.com and I could threaten to eat my owners unless people send me money not to.. They are decent people, I am sure folks out there wouldn't want to see them get eaten by my ferocious jaws. I can be mean... really I can... What do you think?
Anyways, life has been different lately with one owner away but it has been ok. Scooby and I are getting along better yet I do love to steal is toys and make sure he gets to watch me chew on them in front of him... See, I can be mean!! I could eat Scooby... savescooby.com... I wonder if that would be better than the owners... Hmmmm.....
Our weekend was good. Owner was out with her friend shopping for tuxes for her friends upcoming wedding. They were gone most of the day, I was very happy when she came back. Scooby and I were ready for some quality owner time. We all went out and ran around the yard.... Yeah, I love that!! Owner didn't leave till lunch today b/c a handyman had to come fix a hole in the wall... he was there forever... owner wasn't real happy she had to be late to work but it seems to have worked out ok... Well, Scooby is waiting for me to play tug on the big mean kitty... Bye for now!

Oh owner, wherefore art thou?

Well, it seems one of our owners is missing... He was at the house yesterday morning and he was gone last night. He said something to me as he walked out with some bags but I am not really sure what he said.. Other owner mentioned something about a trip but I just don't get why he would take off without us. Scooby and I have spent every day with him since he was laid off and now he has just left us, alone... Scooby and I stared out the window, stared at the front door from the couch and barked at any sound we heard last night... Surely he will be back soon... Other owner is fun and all and we love her but she isn't home with us all day - we miss that.
Anyways, in other house related news... Owner finally patched the holes in the bush with a fence so Scooby could not try and run away. I feel that is he wants to run away we should let him. Then I would be all alone again, the toys would be mine and noone would be in my way to snuggle with the owners... Man that Scooby bugs me now that I think of it.. He is in my way... He and I played with my best friend Big Mean Kitty and now it seems kitty only has 3 legs. I think that Scooby is responisble for the missing limb - he must be punished.
Owner has been trying to teach herself how to sew. She has been making pouches like crazy and they seem to be getting better, or so she seems to think. Otherthan that not much else is going on... I'll keep you informed. :)

Scooby

It seems I have a new "brother" - he is 2 years older than me and part lab, hound and dalmation... His name is Scooby and I have been enjoying harassing him. I must admit I am terribly uneasy with having to share my house and owners with him. Who does he think he is? He just walks in and lays on my things, chews on bones that I want and even thinks he has the right to have a bowl of food that I can't eat... It's my house!!!
I have enjoyed having someone to play with but I don't know if I can get used to this...
The other day he decided to run away... owner freaked out and took off after him leaving the fence to the yard I was in open... Now I could have easily ran out and run the opposite direction but being the loving dog that I am I went to find my owner. I love her and knew she was unahppy, I figured I could help. I caught up to her and she seemed realived to see me... I just ran along side of her while we chased Scooby. A random pedestrian ended up catching him for us but that meant we had to take him home... To bad he couldn't run faster - then I would be able to have my owners and house back.... Owner was really unhappy he tried to run away, I wonder if they will keep him... I think that is a question that's being decided upon. I have a feeling they will, but I know it also depends on how I feel towards him. Maybe I'll give him a shot - he better stay out of my way though and play when I say play... I am the boss after all!!
Here is a picture of the new dog in the house.... Oh yeah, owner now has pink hair... I wonder if it tastes like cotton candy - I should go find out. She comes home tonight from house/dog sitting for a friend....

Laid off or laying around?

Well, owner got laid off today from the evil software empire yet he is very happy it happened. I've never seen him so happy actually!! Seems now he and I can spend tons of quality time togethere walking, running, going to the dog park, taking car rides, sleeping, catching up on our soap operas, etc... all around fun for me! He may take some time and enjoy his time off, travel, visit friends... Other owner will then be home with me, she and I will have fun too.
I may be meeting a new dog this week - Scooby is his name. He is as big as me, submissive and fixed... Just the way I like it!! :) We are supposed to meet to make sure we get along... Not sure when though.... I'll keep my captivated audience in the know.. no worries.

New friends... maybe?

Rumor has it there might be a new addition to our little family... a boy too... The owners supposedly may be getting a new dog who is currently nameless. I forget what kind of dog he is, some mix - he was found wandering the interstate. I hope he isn't smarter than me... oh wait, I've never wandered the interstate... I saw his picture, he is cute but I am cuter for sure... Plus I am bigger and older so I will have to train him the ways of the house. (It's not definite yet though)
The owners are trying to decide on names, I think Kennedy and Teddy are the ones they are choosing between - they have decided to keep the Presidents alive in the house.... What do you think, do you like either? If not, any suggestions on other ex-Presidents names?
Oh, our house guest left this morning, he's off to South America for many months.... life should be back to normal for atleast awhile.... I'll miss getting to lay around with him during the day, plus he let me out which was nice - I am so used to holding it all day, it was great to be able to get out and run and play.

Houseguests galore...

Well, grandma and her boyfriend have left and we now have a new house guest. Owner's friend is staying with us for a week before he heads to South america for a few months to travel and pick up ladies... He just got to our house last night and they pretty much sat on my couch all night watching sports.. I actually had to lay on the floor. I am not used to this kind of treatment, the couch is my domaine and I should be able to rest my tired head on a soft cushion... not a hard wood floor - gesh!! It seems tonight we have other owners jewelry friend from Nebraska coming over for dinner. Should be fun as I have not met her yet. I am sure I will enjoy jumping on her and licking her, I hear she has 2 dogs so she should be ok with all the affection I will put upon her... should be a fun evening...
Owner has been playing in her studio alot more recently, she seems to be trying to master carving wax... She appears to be frustrated and is looking for some insight from her friend tonight... I think she might also be looking into some classes at a local school around here.
Well it seems it is time for me to go play with my toys, enough of this computer stuff... I am a dog and I need to play. Bye for now!

Grandma and boyfriend are visting...

So, my owners mother is here for a week from Florida, I will just call her grandma as that's what she is to me... She brought her yacht designer boyfriend, who I really enjoy playing with. He likes to play with Big Mean Kitty and me... We tug and play alot. I rather enjoy the company. The owners have been really busy with our new house guests. They have been in and out all weekend. I didn't get to go to the dog park at all, I wasn't real happy about that. The owners also ran out of food for me yesterday but no worries I got plenty of yummy treats until the new food arrived, I rather enjoyed a whole day of junk food. :)
Tomorrow there will be a big dinner with the owners friends for my grandma and her boyfriend, I hope I don't get locked outside or in a room, I love when their friends come over, they LOVE me. Plus I assume my little buddies Scottie and Izzabelle will come play... I've got my toes crossed! I am looking forward to any food that may hit the floor tomorrow. As for the weekend I just layed around and did nothing. Sunday I got to watch "Toy Soldiers" with owner and her girl friend after they came back from lunch, they then left me to go shopping for owners birthday outfit, I'm not sure what she bought but I noticed she was wearing some new green cowboy boots, she wouldn't stop saying how much she love love loved them... She's crazy sometimes... Other owner went to watch football at some friends house and was out till 'Desperate Housewives' came on, he wasn't real happy other owner made him watch it... although he did fall asleep on the couch and missed most of it. I like the show, owner usually let me lay on the couch with them when it's on... I get used as a pillow, I don't mind though, I usually fall asleep that way anyways.
Well, my animal planet show is on, have to go watch it. Big mean kitty and Dirty rotten kitty are waiting for me on the couch!!

Sorry I've been lazy... I am a dog ya know...

Well, I haven't updated in a month, sorry about that. The new year has been a good one. I got alot of great Christmas gifts from the owners. New years was pretty dull for me as the owners were out for several hours... I just listened to the fireworks and hid with my new toy, Dirty Rotten Kitty.
The owners are thinking of sending me to doggie daycare for 2 days a week. I have to go have my temperment test before I can start going though... I will try and be on my best behavior, I promise...
Owner has a new job that she really likes. Her commute is alot shorter so that definitelly make her happy. Other owner still has the same job but I tend to see them come home around the same time which I like... more time to play with me!!
Owner had his 31st birthday on Tuesday the 18th, they went our for mexican and didn't even bring me anything back. I was pretty upset about that... I did eat a whole tray of corn bread a few weeks ago so ha, I told them!!! They obviously learned not to leave stuff out which totally bums me out... Thats ok, there is always the trash can. Next Thursday is the other owners birthday, she turns 28. I imagine they will leave me home alone again. I sure hope they leave a cake or something good on the counter because I will be all over that!!
Well, enough of all of that. It's time for me to lay on the couch for a bit before the owners come home.... Bye for now!!

The holidays are coming...

Sorry, it has been a long time since I have written but I have been so busy playing with Big Mean Kitty that I had no idea how much time had passed. The house is all decorated for Christmas and the tree has a ton of gifts under it. IT seems my gifts are not under there because the owners seem to think I will get into them... why would I do that?
The owners have been pretty busy with Christmas parties and shopping, I feel as if I don't see them as much as I would like. There is talk of a new dog coming to live with us but that hasn't happened yet. I sure would like to have a friend to play with during the day now that I don't see my friend Stolli anymore. My days are pretty boring all alone.
For the holidays we will be in town except for Christmas Eve, I get to go play with my friend Salem for the night while the owners go out of town for the day, wish I could go with them.... No dogs aloud though...
Christmas day we will open presents and then they are going to see a movie before our friends come over for dinner. I can't wait for the dinner, I hope I get some good treats!! I'll keep you posted.

Owner is leaving for a week

Well, today is my play date with Stolli, seems I only have a few more and then I am done going over there. From what I hear the owners of Stolli will be doing some lanfscaping and don't like the mini holes I leave in their yard. Can I help that I have this burning desire to bury Stolli's bones from her? I'm a dog, that's what I do!!
Anyways, owner is leaving me for a week with other owner. Seems she will be house sitting for a friend and watching their dog... Why isn't she taking me? I guess I will just play with other owner while she is away. I am hoping I get to go visit her while she is there, I want to play with the other dog!
Not much has been going on. I got the opportunity to sneak a few pieces of halloween candy while noone was looking. I got in trouble for that. :(
Halloween was fun. The owners had a big party on the Friday before. I got dressed up like a pirate but my costume kept coming off. The owners finally took it off, thank goodness!! I got to sniff alot of people and lick alot of things, it was a blast for me.. except for when I was sent to sit in the bedroom for awhile. They didn't even have the curtousey to put on a good TV show.... Saturday the owners went to a party and I was stuck home alone all night. I just layed around and slept. nothing terribly exciting. Sunday we handed out candy and I scared kids. I enjoyed that alot!!
This weekend owner had a sdlumber party for her girl friends, lots of girls to jump on, sniff and lick. Owner didn't like that so she put me in the bedroom. I need to start hiding treats in that room so I have stuff to do when I get sent there.. Maybe I will hide some of my Greenies in there. I love those things!

Playing hard

Wow, what a day... I have been busy running around chasing my friend Stolli in her back yard... I thought I would take a minute to write in on my computer and say hello. It's beautiful here today and my owner dropped me off this morning to play. Boy, have I been playing... I am going to be pooped tonight. The owners are at work right now slaving away for the man while I run and play and roll in the dirt. Whose the lucky one?
The house has been busy with them getting ready for their Pre-Halloween bash on Friday. My owner is not much of a decorator but she actually bought halloween decorations to put up, the house will look scary once complete. I am sure she will give me some pictures to add after the party. Check back for those.
I was left alone for a long time last night. I swear you'd think these people think I know how to use a toilet... Come on people, I need to go outside.. I was able to hold it though, as usual, but man I was so happy when they came home from shopping.

Pumpkin carving and garbage diving

The weekend was pretty low key for me and the owners. The owners worked on the house as it still needs a little organization. Owner went for a 14 mile run saturday morning at 7am and came home really sore; she just laid around for the rest of Saturday while other owner put together our new dinning room table, great, a new place me to go when I am punished. Sunday I was sent to the doggie spa for a bath, nail trimming and to have my teeth cleaned. It was ok, I was really well behaved and the women were really nice to me. I was so happy though when owner came to get me. She had been out with a friend for a few hours and I like her friend. She is really nice to me too. The rest of Sunday was fun, we all just hung out for a bit. Owners went shopping for Halloween stuff earlier in the day so it was fun sniffing everything they bought, all kinds of great smells.
Yesterday I sat at home all day while they were at work. Owner is now covering up the couch so my hair doesn't get all over it. I don't know why they think covering the couches will keep me off. I, of course, laid on the couch while they were not home. They wouldn't let me on it though w/o the covers... A massage lady came to the house last night, I wasn't allowed to go in the living room, I had to stay in the bedroom with other owner. I did not like that. When owner went out to get a massage and other owner was cooking dinner, I was alone in the room and decided to whine and scratch at the door to let them know I was unhappy... it didn't work... After the massage lady left and my owners ate dinner, we all carved pumpkins in the living room. I have a wolf howling on mine; my owners have one with a bat with the words party and one with a scary lady on the other one. They look good. I tried to eat some pumpkin seeds but owner wouldn't let me. She cooked them in the oven, they sure smelled good... Maybe I can snag some while they are away at work today; she did leave them on the counter... Hello - I could open the cabinets if I wanted to... I am definitely big enough!
I say that b/c I have been getting into the garbage a lot this last week so what's one more time... However, they did get a new can today... Hope I can figure that one out too.

Firemen and Luck, all in one day!!

Well, seems my owner was all excited on saturday. She had a show 45 minutes from home, with her purse friend, that went well but picked up when she entered and won her first raffel. She won a ride on a vintage firetruck (with firemen) in next years 4th of July parade. She was really excited, she even got her picture with the fireman who drew the raffel, it now hangs on our fridge. She also won some pot holders and was told to play the lottery since it appeared she was having such a lucky day. she did and ended up winning some money, no a whole lot but enought to make her feel lucky!! When she came home she was so excited. She ended up going out with friends and staying out really late leaving me and big mean kitty all alone. I think she met up with other owner b/c he was gone too. When she did come home she let me sleep in the bed with her, ahhh, I love sleeping in the bed rather than on the floor. So much softer!
Sunday was real low key. Owner cleaned the garage all day and watched movies. We never left the house. We did play ball, that was fun. I got to hang in the garage with her while she cleaned it out - not as fun... Other owner napped and watched football all day.
Last night owner went for a run and then came home and played with me for a bit and then we all ate dinner and watched TV, pretty low key night. Oh, owner made yummy cookies - he wouldn't let me have any though. Something about chocolate being bad for dogs... whats that all about?
There has been talk of getting me a pet... Supposedly his name is Buster... I'm not so sure about that yet. I don't know if I can share all the attention, plus, where will his toys go? My toys already cover the house, it might get confusing, especiually since I HATE to share... I'll keep you posted on that.
Well, I am bored, I should get back to my rought job of laying around and watching TV. The owners should be home in several hours. I think they have date night tonight which includes hair appointments possibly for both.. So, it may be a long boring day for me. I do have big mean kitty to play with though. Oh well..
