WE'VE BEEN TAGGED!!

Two Dachshunds & Co. tagged us in the blog photo game.
And here are the rules:
1). Go to your 1st photo folder
2). Find the 10th picture
3). Post the 10th picture and tell everyone about it!

This picture is of my buddy, Punky. Punky is a girl and she's 19 years old. Let me tell you something about that old girl. SHE IS FAST AND FIERCE!! She will chase after me from room to room. She acts like a much younger girl. She used to be really big. Around 20 pounds. But now that she is older, she is losing weight. Basically, she is a sweet natured cat. She just doesn't like dogs. Bummer!!



4). Tag 5 other Doggie Blogs so they can have some photo fun, too!! (If you've recently been tagged, sorry!!)

LIFE RULE #3 FOR DOGS

MAKE ROUTINE SHOWS OF BRAVERY

It is always a good idea to show some bravery so your Mommy or Daddy knows that you are doing your job. If you hear a noise outside, you should growl or bark. Just once will do. No sense in overdoing it. You will still get the credit for bravery.

But, every once in a while, you should do more. Peeking out the windows growling and barking is really impressive. It shows your intent to attack if necessary. Make them feel that they will have to hold you back. Everyone will think you are so devoted and fiercely protective. It may even earn you some extra treats!

Here I am guarding my household from intruders. It turned out to be my Mommy's daughter and grandsons, but that's okay. My Mommy thinks I was willing to attack and maim for her safety.

A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY

For some strange reason, my Mommy thinks I look like Basil Rathbone. He's the guy who played Sherlock Homes in those old films. She says that it's because of our long noses. But she also says that I'm much, much cuter (love you too, Mommy). It must be the noses because I know I would NEVER smoke, nor would I ever, ever wear such a silly hat. (Oh please don't let me eat my words on the hat comment). Look at our profiles below and see what you think.

LIFE RULE #2 FOR DOGS

LEARN TO STALK YOUR PREY

We can always learn from our feline friends. What I learned from my friend, Punky, is to lie low, watch carefully and pounce when you get your chance.

Here I am carefully stalking a cracker on the table. You can see that I use the "from the bottom up" technique. The procedure for this technique is to creep up slowly and remain undetected while never losing sight of your desired prey. I generally am successful in using this technique on the dining room chair because I blend in so nicely.

Unfortunately for me, Mommy had her cell phone handy and was able to catch me in the act.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY









LIFE RULE #1 FOR DOGS


IT IS NOT WISE TO CHEW UP YOUR MOMMY'S GOOD WORK SHOES.

I learned the hard way much like this little fellow below. I chewed up my Mommy's work shoe last night. She was not amused. Neither was I when I got caught. There just wasn't any way I could make her believe that the cat did it.

MOMMY IS UNDER THE WEATHER

My Mommy was a bit under the weather this weekend. She had a horrible headache that she couldn't totally get rid of until Sunday afternoon. I did my very best to comfort her. I slept next to her all night long. I slept so tightly against her that she kept waking up all night long to check on me. When she took a nap early this afternoon, I protected her by sleeping right on top of her during her entire nap. She felt better when she got up, so I must have done a GREAT job. She said that she will be fine soon and we will visit our blogging friends soon.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE

This is Tyler holding me. Tyler is my Mommy's grandson. He used to live with us, but when his Mom got an apartment, he moved with her. Luckily for me, I get to see Tyler every day! I get so excited when he comes over. When I hear the car pull up, I run as fast as I can to the chair beside the living room window. When I'm in position, I push the vertical blinds apart and and press my nose against the window. My Mommy always laughs at me when I do that. Once Tyler's inside, I jump and dance around until he picks me up. I love Tyler so much!! Who are your favorite people?

P.S. The date on the picture is wrong. I am only 9 months old. . . .not 6 years. Someone (maybe Tyler?) played around with Mommy's camera.

ONE OF THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR

Posted by T.J.

This is one of the girls next door. Her name is Scarlett. She is a teacup poodle. I want her to be my girlfriend, but she's playing hard to get. Scarlett has the LONGEST legs on a poodle that I've ever seen. It's really quite enticing in my opinion. I am a leg man. She's an older girl. . .nearly 11 years old, but I'm not sure because a lady never tells her age. I do like mature girls. Scarlett keeps "dancing" around me playing cat and mouse. I must admit that I am a bit intimidated by her, but my heart skips a beat whenever she's around. I guess if it doesn't work out, there is always Muffin. . .the other girl next door.

MOMMY, I'M SLEEPY

I was on the computer last night and T.J. kept wanting me to pick him up. Whenever I did, he became like a limp rag. His eyes would slowly blink. Awww. . .he was ready to go to sleep. We did the pick up, put down routine about 6 times. Finally, he just sat there with his body turned away from me. He kept looking at me with big soulful eyes as if he were saying, "Mommy, I'm sleepy. I want to go to sleep". So the moment after I snapped his picture on my cell phone, it was sleepy time for us. Would you believe that rascal slept all night long without getting down one time? He snuggled up to me all night long.

DOXIE LOVE

I had to work 3 hours overtime this evening. It was so nice to come home to my little T.J. who was practically jumping out of his skin to greet me. He was just dying to shower me with doxie kisses. No matter what I have to deal with out in the world, I have my little boy at home who is always so happy to see his Mommy.

T.J. WATCHING TV

I've never had a dog that watched tv. It just cracks me up. He gets all comfy on the couch and watches it with me.
