Dog Park Adventures: Issue No. 8

I don't like puppies! There I said it!




I just don't like how small they are and how they always want to play. Not that I don't like to play, it's just that they don't know how to play right!



They smell kinda funny, too!



I really don't understand why humans think they're so cute? I definitely don't see it.



I especially hate when people bring them to my park!!

Dog Park Adventures: Issue No. 7

While I'm having the time of my life, Lindsay usually watches me play from the sidelines like a granny. I don't understand why but she doesn't care much for playing with other dogs. She has to find a real connection before she lets another dog into her inner circle. She's complicated!

It doesn't take long before a little pig tailed girl walks up to Lindsay. For some reason they can't resist her size. I don't think it has anything to do with her being cute? I'm the cute one, right?

These girls can't help themselves, they have to give her a pat.

Keep your fur kids safe

On the way to work today, my momma saw a dog that looked like me on the side of the road. She said it made her sad to know that a poor dog lost it's life in such a senseless way. The dog looked well cared for and probably escaped from it's home and wandered on to the road and was unlucky to be hit by a car.

Lindsay has been known to wander into our neighbors yard until my dad secured our fence with river rocks so she couldn't dig her way out. As I've mentioned before, Lindsay has a high prey drive. At the time she thought she was the family rat hunter because our neighbors had rats underneath their shed. So she dedicated the little time she spent in the backyard digging her way to them until she finally got herself through. I didn't know how serious the consequences are for leaving our secure home, next time I'm going to be a tattle tail and tell my momma!

Just a reminder to all you doggie parents to do your best to keep your doggies and kitties safe from the road. Cars are fast and little guys like us are hard to see at dawn or dusk.

Dog Park Adventures: Issue No. 4

Hey...hey...hey guy, what's you're story?

"I was a feral dog once, rescued by that lady taking pictures next to your momma. I don't like humans very much. They scare me. Your momma looks familiar, I want to walk up to her and smell her but I don't want her to look at me or touch me. Let's just play."

Kay...you're it!

"Wait a second...you didn't give me a head start!?"

Head start? Head starts are for weaklings!

Hey, you tricked me into stopping. The race is on!

Dog Park Adventures: Issue No. 3

Damn, you're HUGE!

Whoa, you're tiny!

$%#@!*&$#%@&^!#! Don't ever call me tiny again!

Dog Park Adventures: Issue No. 2

I finally get the rep of a cool guy around the park and my sista has to go and do this. She flexes her front muscles, puts the weight of all her body on her front legs, and pees!! Yes, she pees!! I don't know if she was showing off her mad muscle skills or if she wanted to take away my street cred?
Sisters are embarrassing!!!!

Dog Park Adventures: Issue No. 1

We don't frequent the dog park but the times we do visit, we go to this park in a town near us. The dogs seem to be a lot more friendly here and their parents have a zero tolerance for nonsense policy. My momma likes this park for the no-nonsense policy--I like it because I have fun. Today was the first day we came this year, so, to let you in on all the fun I decided to make a Dog Park mini series. Wha la... the start to my mini-series. Enjoy!

When I arrived, I set my eyes on the dane. He was full of spunk and I knew we'd have a blast if we played together.

Hey, I'm Bison, my friends call me "Bis", wanna play?
Hello Bis! Hell yeah!

This guy was no averaged size dude! No no no! Most people think I'm a horse (thanks people!) but this little horse was covered by a giraffe. See my head and legs barely peeking through? Yeah, he's that big!

Betcha I can give you a head start and still catch up to you?

Wise guy, eh?


How 'bout we watch for new dogs coming into the park instead? I like to scout the new blood before they step foot into the park to see if they're worth playing with.

I'm game! Never done that before.

Pretty soon we were walking in sync with one another and finishing each others barks. We were doggie sole buddies!

Ok...this all got a little weird.

momma's little helper

Today I helped my momma decide on a spot for the upcoming First Annual Family Portrait with my mom's side of the family. Excuse the corn rolls...I didn't have a chance to purtty myself up in time for the picture. Isn't this a perfect spot for a Fall family picture?
Although, I am a little confused because I read a sign that said no dogs as we left the park. How's that gonna work?
Wait...does that mean that I'm not in the family picture?! Momma, say it isn't so!!

sIsTeRly lOvE

Is when your sista lightly grabs on to your cheek and you in return give her a hug.

Then you know she really loves you when she gets a better grip and hides for shelter underneath you. It kinda hurts but not really because it's all about the love.

Holy freakin' hell...you know she really loves you when she uses all 12 pounds of her body to bring your head underneath your body. And jumps up and down a couple times, too! You know you're loved when the pain is so strong that you can't think of a maneuver to get yourself out of this predicament.

Yes, it's all about sisterly love.

Calling all models

Apparently, I'm a model dog now. I don't know when it happened but I've been casted along with my sista to be my momma's models. I don't know about this!

My momma ordered a remote to take pictures when her camera is on a tripod. She said she wanted to get a feel for how it worked and she needed us to be the best models we could be. So, we posed. Hmmm....this shot's kinda crappy! Lindsay's all out of focus and the top of my head is cut off.
"Good to know" my momma says.

Yeah, this one is a winner! A shot of Lindsay's butt and me out of focus. OH NO!! This one is No good. You gotta tell your camera to always keep me in focus. I don't know, momma...I don't think that stupid remote is working.

Ummm....need I say anything about this one? Ok, I can't resist. You can't see our faces! Sure my elbow looks beautiful and Lindsay's hind leg is cutely turned out but...but...but...ok...it's interesting. Hey, what's up with all this hair on the floor? Is the roomba doing it's job to clean up after us? I think not!! Yuck! I'm sitting in my own fur that shedded. ewwww...
You need me to do what?
Alright, I'll stand. But just for a millasecond! I'm sleepy.

Seriously, I'm sleepy!
Why is it that Lindsay can goof off? And I have to lay here like a good boy and listen to everything you say?
"Because I give you treats for your hard work." my momma reminds me.
Oh, that's right. Ok. Let's keep this shoot going.

This shot better get me a jack pot treat. It actually came out nice! Well, probably because it's just me in the frame and I am very handsome!

Gosh, I really am devilishly handsome! This pose deserves a marrow bone thank you very much! I went for the distressed but still in charge look here. Did I nail it?

I guess all those sucky shots were worth this really good one. Ok, your remote is working fine and thank you for showcasing my beautiful ridge. Are we finally done?

Love is...

Taking a nap with your momma right before you go to bed...




and watching the tube with your dadda while keeping his lap warm, even though it's 100 degrees outside.

My auntie Mary saves lives

When auntie Mary and uncle Ryan were on their way to our house, auntie Mary spotted this little thing that appeared to be a dog in the middle of the street. Had my auntie not jumped out of the car and stopped traffic, this little Chihuahua would have been killed by a car!! My auntie saved this little girls life!!

We don't know her name but what we do know is that whoever her parents were, did not care for her!! Her nails are so long, she cannot stand upright. It must hurt her poor little paws. She's so skinny, it doesn't look like she's had a square meal in a long time.

But boy is she tiny. She must not weigh more than 1 pound!


I have to admit, even though I think I'm the cutest guy there is, she really is a looker. Check out her beautiful big round sultry eyes and long pointy ears. Ok, she's REALLY cute!

She shivered so much, auntie Mary though she might be cold. So, my momma gave her sweaters that were Lindsay's. Before Lindsay wore them, Vinnie used to strut his stuff in them, too. Ha! We keep it in the family like that.

Damn, this girlie is ready for a trip to Tahoe!
It did the trick, she instantly stopped shaking. In fact, she started to fall asleep in my auntie's arms. Poor girlie probably hasn't felt the love of another human.

So now the question on all of our minds, what will her name be? What will The Dogfathers morph their name into? This little girlie is lucky my auntie Mary saved her life. Check out my cousins at their blog for updates on her progress.
