Chimichanga

OK, you may be wondering why there was no post yesterday. Well it's only because my ENTIRE WORLD HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. Linda took me over to some guys house yesterday afternoon and we left with a puppy! Yes, a Chihuahua who looks exactly like gold ol' Snickers. This puppy, who we are calling Chimichanga (Chimmie) is a lot more rambunctious then Snickers ever was. All he wants to do is play, play, play. Running everywhere, bringing me toys, taking the toy he just gave me. I thought babies slept lot. Not Chimmie. He sleeps some, but mostly he plays. I'm just glad that when Linda leaves the house, he has to go in the bathroom until he is pee-pee pad trained. Hopefully, he'll calm down some before he is allowed out. I'm just worn out! I do have to admit, he is really cute. And he did sleep 8 solid hours before he woke us up this morning. I'm sure I'll get used to all the energy. (I hope.)

Big Brother

My blog host keeps telling me that I need to put ads on about puppy pooping and peeing problems. When I sign-in to make an entry, there are always ads on the side that say my readers want to know about pooping issues. First, how does the computer know I'm a dog? Second, how come they think I have housebreaking issues? I get the same kind of ads on my facebook page. I feel violated.

Elm Street

I freaked Linda out tonight because I did not want to finish my walk. I was super excited to get my leash on. At first, I was hurrying from mailbox to mailbox, checking all the new mail smells. Then without warning, I made an about face. I started pulling to go back home, running about 5 houses and not stopping until I got to the front door. She figured that I had a sixth sense something bad was going to happen and we had to hurry home to safety. See, I am a good protection dog.

Well EXCUSE Me!

Totally exhausted from a picnic lunch; visit to the dog adoption event; and then spending over an hour at the dog park. I ate a quick snack and then crashed on the love seat. Oh, and at Pet Smart I got a new carry-me bag. Well, technically it's a cat bag. Before she bought it, Linda was toting me around Pet Smart in it when I got tired of walking. The man behind Linda in line actually commented that if her dog fit in a cat bag, it was time to get a new dog. What! He was just jealous that he had a sloppy, drooling mutt who weighed about 70 pounds. I'm still going to keep my old black carry-me bag, it is just for the dog park now. The new one will be for shopping trips, family night, basketball games and other outings. I made Linda pull off the cat tag though. This lady must really love cats.

Say YES to Bacon

I've only tried bacon a few times in my life. Once, a friend of Linda's had some on a sandwich and I got to taste a tiny crumb. The other time was at the Bagel Cafe. We were sitting outside and one of the workers bought me out a tiny piece as a treat. Since Linda does not cook bacon, the chances of me every getting to taste bacon again is non-existent. For real lovers of Bacon, you can now buy them a gift basket with 2 bottles of Bacon flavored soda, cheddar bacon popcorn, bacon lip balm and bacon gravy. For only $10, it's a bargain for sure. The guy who does the iwantbacon.com blog is probably ordering one for everyone on his Christmas list. I don't like the pig nosed kid on the bottle on the right though.

Dirty Dog

Linda said I am so dirty that I need a bubble bath. It's not my fault though. Jerry took me on the trail today for an hour long trek. We went into the brush, walked over mulch, passed the streams, trudged over wet leaves and even waded in some mud. It was seriously the best walk of my life. My feet and knees are caked with dried dirt. If I want to sleep in Linda's BIG BED tonight, she said I have to have a bath. Actually, it will probably feel good to be clean. I love my Saturday's with Jerry while Linda is teaching classes. Next week he'll be on a business trip, so I'm going to have a long, lonely Saturday. Anyone want to come and play with me?

P.S. My bath really was nice. I smell wonderful and feel fresh as a daisy!

Danger! Alligator Crossing

What would Linda do if an alligator chomped on me and dove under the water while I was kicking and yelping in it's jaws? I hope she would do exactly what this Florida man did for his little Jack Russell. The man and his pooch Lizabeth were taking a walk when an alligator came charging out on to the path and grabbed the dog. Luckily, the man was carrying a gun. He shot the alligator and it finally let go of his dog. He dove in and grabbed the poor lifeless pooch. The dog was already dead. The man started performing CPR and the dog came back to life, choked up water and started breathing again! Lizabeth is still at the Vet being treated for bites and water in his lungs. I hope she makes it.
