I have not blogged in some time and I want to catch you up on all the new stuff that is and has happened.

1) Our Rummage Sale to earn fencing money was a HUGE success.  We made around $3,000.000.  YEA!!!!! so now we are at about the half way mark for our phase 1.

2) The AKC Dog show was pretty cool, My mom didn’t take us, but she said it was fun.  Our friends, owned by Tina, were participants and did a great job.  You GO GUYS!!!

3) The Agility Show, (again my mom didn’t take us,  Hey what’s up with that anyway….?)  Pepsi and Muffin participated in that and kudos to you guys.  That just seems like too much work, and my mom is way to lazy to run with us anyway.

4) Concerts by the Bay are still going on and Yes, we have a table and we are collecting money there too.

On a personal note, we had a friend by the name Trooper spend a couple days and nights with Lily this past week, and by next month we should know if Lily is with pup.  Not to sure if that is a good thing or bad thing.  My mom is really excited about it.  I think that means if she is with pup, we may have those little pups running around here in a couple months.  OMG!!!  What was she thinking?????

Rocky is just getting to the point where I can intimidate him and he will leave me alone.  I tease him all the time about his ears and how short he is.  Mom hates when we do that, but oh well, too bad!

Well it is about time for mom to take us out.  I think we are going to Cooper Gulch.  We like it there.  There is a lot of room to run and TONS of nice P-mail, to sniff.

Have a great day!  Until next time, Keep Sniffin’

I hope everyone is doing well today.   Again it is raining, which means…no outside time for us. :>(

My Mom and her friends are working very hard on what they call a Rummage Sale.  It is to help us get our Park.  Tell your humans that there is lots of stuff there.  Not too much stuff for us, cause I got the baseball that was there.  But there is Books for your humans.

My Human brought home a little guy that kinda looks like us.  He is a little pest, always wanting to play.  I have to teach him the ropes around here and show him who is boss.  He is so small it is easy to intimidate him, lol.  Well I gotta go for now, hope to here from you Porter, let us know how your bro is doing.

Just wanted to check in and wish everyone a Happy Sunday!

Not sure what my human is doing today.  Hope we go out, to the park.

I need to run and feel the breeze in my fur! Sniff and Pee on everything.  A dogs gotta do, what a Dogs gotta do!

Hey Porter, how is the Fam doing?  Your brother getting better?  He he ready to run and play?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Nice Profile!

Hey Porter,

Great job protecting the Fam.  I have never seen a flying car.  Was it cool looking?  My mom is always saying “she wishes she had a car that could fly”.  I myself am not to sure about that.  Things go by fast enough in our car.  I like to take my time looking at things.

Hey how is your bro doing?  Is he ready to go running and jumping again?  I can’t imagine staying still for as long as he has.  That has got to be the pitts.

Have you seen us on the TV yet?  I have not.  My mom keeps saying we are going to be on, but I will believe it when I see it.

Today is kinda yucky outside so I think I may just sleep most of the day.

Hope you all have a great day.

I was taking a nap on one of my favorite dog blankets.  My brother was sleeping next to me and my Mom was typing on the computer nearby.  I was dreaming of eating a big delicious bone.  It was huge and tasted so good.  My Mom bought it for me because I am such a good boy.  I was licking the outside and just as I was about to take a big bite I woke up.

There was this loud noise coming from the sky.  I’ve heard it before but this was different.  It didn’t just go over our house and leave.  It went round and round.  Then it hovered nearby.  I ran to the window to assess the danger.  I could see the flying car.  My Mom says it is a helicopter.  Helicopter must be the brand.  My daddy drives a Subaru.

My Mom came over and stood next to me.  She looked out the window and told me it was okay.  She ruffled my fur and went back to the computer.  I could tell that it wasn’t okay.  This was not normal.  I stayed on alert.  After all, with my brother hurt I am the only one able to protect my Mom and our house.  I was a little worried that my Dad was working outside several blocks away.  Luckily I know that he can take care of himself.

After a while I flopped back down on my blanket.  The flying car wasn’t visible out the window anymore so there was no point in standing there.  I just kept my ears pealed towards the sound.  I heard footsteps approach the house.  I ran to the window barking.  False alarm.  It was just a kid walking by.  I went back to my spot and waited.

It took quite a while but eventually the car flew away.  I wonder if the driver takes his dog with him.  I’m not sure if I would like being that high.  It would be neat to be able to see everything.  I bet you can see a lot of dogs from up there.  It’s a really noisy car though.  I think it needs a better muffler.

*****Update*****

I was right!  There was nothing normal about the flying car hovering a flew blocks from our house.  They were on the lookout for a guy with a gun.  He pointed that gun at people at a bank that my Mom and I walk by all the time.  That is NOT okay.  I know a LOT of nice people that work in the stores in that area.  I think I know why they picked the bank.  My Mom says it is because they have the most money to steal.  I disagree.  I think it is because they don’t have a dog.  Several of the stores in Henderson Center have dogs.  They protect their stores.  The bank should get a dog.

Happy Hunter

“My Rat Terriers will curl up in my lap and watch television, then jump up and go hunting, or go fishing or just go,” says breeder Sylvia H. of Texas, who owns nine of them. “They love to go. These little dogs are active, but not hyper.”

The Rat Terrier is fiercely dedicated to his owners and wants to be with you. “If the dog is with their person, they’ll go to hell and back for you,” says Pam M. of California, Rat Terrier Club of America secretary and longtime Rattie breeder.

Sylvia agrees: “When I was 12, I climbed up a ladder to the stable roof, checking for a leak. When I turned around, there was a Rattie on the roof with me. Wherever you go, they go.”

Hey today is the first day of Spring! YEA!!! Lighter, later, and more park time.  Yesterday my mom took us all to where “OUR” new park will be…Boy was that fun.  New smells and lots of room to run, if you wanted to.  I of course just like to explore, but Tizzy would not stop running and jumping and playing.  We met a new friend there.  His name was Ranger.  His mom was playing another interesting game called GeoCashe.  Something to do with GPS systems and cameras, I think,  Kinda like the game Clue and Where’s Carmen SanDiego put together.  Anyway, Ranger was a cool dude, He could not help that he was brown and NOT the standard dog color (Black and White) jk, lol

My mom took some awesome videos and pictures of us and is trying to get them posted, be patient with her, she is only human.

They told me that we should be on TV.  On Access Humboldt Channel.  PSA’s for our Park.  Set your DVR’s, so you won’t miss us.

Hey we need more money for our fence.  I say, “We don’t need no stinkin fences”, but the city says we do.   So when you see a donation jug at your favorite store…Give, Give, Give!

I am going to try to talk my human into taking us out there again today, I need to pick up where I left off smelling and exploring.

Have a great First Day of Spring!

Me is a laborador retriever.  Me ancestors are Canadian (Daddy says dat is where Laborador is).  But me mommy and daddy are part Irish.  So when me adopted I now Irish.  Right?  Me wants to get lots of kisses cuz me Irish!!!  Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Good morning everyone!

Today is Sunday and every Sunday my mom takes us to the Park.  This Sunday she says she has to go to work.  Not to sure what this work thing is, but I don’t think I like it very much.  Every time she says she is going to work, we are by ourselves for a while and then she comes back and takes us to my friend Frodo’s  house.   Anyway, we shall see.

I like going to the park with her, she lets me run and explore by myself.  Lily is so OCD with her ball and Tizzy just follows Lily around, I have the best time ever.  I love exploring in the trees, there is so much to smell, I can hardly take it all in.  I like to hide behind the tree and watch my mom panic about where I am.  I let her call me a few times then I come out and she just smiles.  Sometimes I like to chase the ball, but that is too much work, why run after it and bring it back, just for her to throw it again?   I don’t get it.  Tizzy however is still pretty stupid, she will run after it and bring it back to mom and she goes crazy if mom won’t throw it again.  Jumping up on her and saying, “throw it, throw it, throw it”!  She is just a baby, and you know kids.  Now Lily on the other hand is HOT!  She is the mother of my children. That’s all I am going to say about her.

Well I think it is almost time to go to Frodo’s house.  I can see my mom getting ready, so I will say  Adiós, that is Spanish for goodbye.

Hi everyone!  Did you see yesterday’s hail?  First it was like normal rain.  Then it came down faster and harder.  It started pelting the windows with tiny hard ice stuff.  I have heard, seen, and even felt hail before…but not like this.  This was a LOT of hail.  I looked out the window with my Mom and we couldn’t even see across the street.  It pounded every window and we could even hear it through the roof.  When it stopped it looked like it had snowed!!!  I love the snow.  This wasn’t as much fun as snow but it was still pretty neat.  My mom went outside to take pictures.  She got pictures of the roof covered with ice.  The ice on the grass started melting pretty fast but my daddy came home in time to make some ice balls with it and throw them for me to try to catch.  It was fun!  I got to eat some too.  The ice was bigger than a pea.  More like the size of a raisin and very cold and yummy.  My Dad was across town when it happened and he said it didn’t hail like that there.  All the people and dogs over there missed out.  My brother missed out too.  He can’t play yet.  He still has to be very careful with his leg for the next few months.  The fake nylon ligament they put in his knee to replace his old one could break if he slips, runs, or jumps.  I know all about it after listening to my mom and dad.  It makes things less fun around here but I am trying to keep him company so he won’t be lonely.  I am just glad for a fun hail event to liven things up around here.  We don’t get hail that large very often in Eureka!
