Scuffing
Sat, August 09 2008
Scuffing, I think, can be highly under-rated. Some dogs don't even do it! I scuff after every time I pee on something in grass. . .

sunning
Mon, August 25 2008

people and clothes

I'm missing my daddy
Thu, December 11 2008
Mom says Dad is on a trip. It's 'business'. All I know is that he isn't here. I keep looking for him. He's supposed to come . . .
Daddy's back

You were right, Ojo! He came back! And he's not mad at me or anything. I offered him my bone. He gave it right back!

(editor's note - you might want to start with Abby's post "Sneakiness" first)
I am NOT sneaky. I'm just not as much a bully . . .

Meeting the cat
Today I was allowed to meet a member of the family, a black and white feline named Buster. He lives in the garage, I guess (D's. . .
Owner: Dominique
About Me: I was owned before, but I can't tell you about those people. They turned me in to the nice folks at the Southern Oregon Humane Society. Then another family got me. They returned me after 45 days. They said I needed to not be alone during the day. Well who likes to be alone? Then on July 5th these folks turned up with Abby in tow. They seemed friendly. They offered me a pupperoni or two. They said they wanted me! Now I have a home. It hasn't been too long, so I'm not sure how everything works, but I'm on my best behaviour. I have a license now, so that's a good sign, right?
Nicknames: Little Boy
My Motto: Snuggling is a good way to make friends.
Likes: Having a home!
Pet-peeves: showers, baths, what is the focus with being clean?
Best Tricks: aaarooo! I have a really deep bark.
Favorite Activities: Walks and snoozing on the couch and cuddling with Tom (he's my owner). I'd like to play with Abby, but she's still being a little aloof.

Favorite Toy: does the cat count?
Favorite Walk: Anywhere! I just like to smell new things!
