Round buzzing things
This morning, after taking the boys to school, I was outside doing my business. I turned my head and there were these BIG round buzzing things flying from flower to flower! I didn't realize I had parked my behind so close to a bush with nice bright pink flowers. Anyway, I wanted to get a really good sniff but my mum wouldn't let me! They had all this stuff stuck to their legs and they did smell really nice and made such a 'buzzzzz' sound. I bet they would have tasted really good...

I went through town!
My mum walked me through town today! We were walking into work. There was so much to see...I didn't know where to look first! Saw lots of people, busses, bikes, babies, cars, and a construction site was really loud! I even saw my Nanny as she was walking into town. Then I crossed a bridge and ended up at this HUGE park - lots of doggy smells there! My mum stopped and let me pee, but I didn't really want to. We finished our walk when my dad pulled up in the car - he was on his way to the store so he picked us up. Whew, I was tired so I think it was the only time I've been grateful to get into the car!

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to all my doggie and human friends! I had quite an exciting day, there was a lot going on - not a dull moment around here!
It was a mixture of sun and rain, so I had time to go out and play. The boys were out with me for a bit too. I love playing with them, they are really funny.
I was eating an ice cube today, and when I was breathing steam was coming out of my mouth and my mum told my dad I looked like a dragon!
The Little Blonde Boy slipped down some steps and scraped his back a bit, he cried a lot and I felt really sorry for him. If he had fur it might not have been so bad. He's OK now, which is good.
I got into a lot of mischeif today, too.
I took a carton of tomato sauce and decided to chew off the corner. YUMMY! It tasted really good, but made a bit of a mess in my dog bed. Luckily I didn't chew a big hole, it was just right to bite and lick up the trickle of tomato sauce, so none got on my newly bathed, nice, clean, soft coat...
I also peed on the floor by the front door, and when the Girl With Attitude was getting the tissue to help clean it up, she put me in the front room where I decided to poop. My mum was trying to give the blonde one a bath, and this was happening as she was coming down the stairs. She was cleaning up the poop when I decided to grab a DVD the little blonde one forgot to pick up and took off with it into the kitchen! Those shiny discs are really fun to run with, the light just dances off the surface and makes pretty colours! Anyway, so my mum had to get the DVD from me, then go back to get the poop out of the front room that she left behind. When she did that I decided to jump up onto the counter top in the kitchen and try and finish off some leftover Heinz spaghetti that my dad forgot to sort out when he took it in there. My mum came back into the kitchen and told me off. What is it with tomato sauce today?
There was other stuff I did, but I can't remember it all!!!
Then The Brown Haired Boy burned his arm on the tap in the bathtub, so he wasn't happy either. Those poor boys...
Other than that, it was a nice Easter day! I'm pretty tired, so I think I'm going to bed early - I think my mum will appreciate that as well. She took some pics today of me playing, so check out my photo gallery website soon (www.dashdoodle.com). I'll tell her to hurry up and post them - what else does she have to do, anyway?!

I love mango!
My mum was cutting a mango today, and it smelled SOOO good. She gave me a piece and wow, it was so soft and juicy - I could really get into these! To my dismay, she put the rest of it in the fridge where I wasn't able to get to it. bummer.

Enjoying my classes
I am really enjoying my puppy classes! I've been learning a lot, like how to walk on a lead/leash without pulling my mum - this week I had to do it without being distracted, which was hard because we did it outside and we all walked up and down the pavement, passing all the other dogs! I did really good.
Then we had to be called by our owners, which we have done indoors, but like I said we did a lot of outdoor work this week. I went straight away, no problems there!
Then all the dogs were allowed to play together in the grassy area, and the instructor uncliped our lead without us knowing, and our owner had to back away from the group and call us away from playing with our friends. Some dogs took longer than other dogs, but I went straght away, my mum didn't really need to call me! I was very proud of myself for paying attention so well!
We had to practice laying down, again, but this time we had to stay there for 5 seconds! I did pretty good, but I do need to work on that one.
We were taught to stand still while standing up, our owners put their fingers behind our neck in our collars, and put their arm in front of our back legs to keep us still. (In case a vet has to look at us) I did that pretty good, although the temptation was there to pee on Mum's arm just for fun!
The last thing we did, was let the instructors look in our eyes/ears/mouth and check out our paws. In previous weeks, our owners always did this.

My pictures came! This is the one I'm having made into a portrait, from Pet Portraits in Scotland. A selection of the others is at the left side of the page.
Dog prayer - from my Great Uncle Doug
Thanks, Uncle Doug for sending this to my mum:
TO: GOD: FROM: THE DOG
Dear God: Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?
Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story?
Dear God: Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the "Chrysler Eagle" the " Chrysler Beagle"?
Dear God: If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
Dear God: We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Dear God: Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog.
1. I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fi! sh, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.
3 I will not munch on "leftovers" in the kitty litter box, although they are tasty.
4. The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.
5. The sofa is not a 'face towel'. Neither are Mom and Dad's laps.
6. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
7. My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
8. I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and registration.
9. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
10. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying "hello".
11. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table.
12. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after.
13. I will not throw up in the car.
14. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt.
15. I will ! not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when we have company.
16. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

P.S. Dear God: When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?

Teething pains...
My teeth keep falling out! I've lost more teeth in the past few weeks than I can count - luckily my mum has been finding them and keeping them for the tooth fairy. Which reminds me, I wonder where she's keeping my money?!
The place where my tooth was pulled out is now occupied with a nice new tooth - in fact, all 4 of my big sharp teeth are coming through at the moment.
