Warm weather fun!

Today is a great day! We now have 68 degrees! Well, at least for the weekend... I love this because I get to go outside and play frisbee today! Woof, woof!!! All day playing, I can't beat that!

The cats are even getting to where they come outside when we play. I love to show off in front of them. They don't know how to catch the frisbee. I still have to herd them back if they get a little too far away from the door, though. Prissy wouldn't like it if I lost her cat!

We are still having to take turns for now, since mom doesn't want any puppies. So, I will be glad when this is over and she can come back out with me and chase the neighbors dog down the fence!

Hope everyone is having a terrific day and we will catch up with you later!

Mason Dixie's mom is having a great contest! Check it out and join in the fun!

We are going to try and figure out one...we'll see how it goes! Be creative and win the necklace! See you there!

Potato chip thief in the house...

You will not believe what happened today! My mom was eating a sandwich for lunch and had a can of Pringles potato chips sitting next to her plate on the coffee table. I know what you are probably thinking...but, it wasn't the dogs this time! We were innocent...it was the cat who did it. Mom was also watching a movie, so I guess the cat knew she was distracted...they jumped up on the coffee table, stuck their head in the top of the can, grabbed a chip, and ran with it!(mom didn't even get to get a chip out of it yet! She was not happy...although the cat was thrilled!)Then a little bit later, the baby cat (Cutie pie)got in the trash(again) and got a pudding cup out and got it stuck on their head...funniest thing I ever saw! Even mom had to laugh at that!

As you can see, it isn't always the dogs who run away with the food! Better watch out for those cat burglars in your house!

Before and after frisbee..can you guess which is which?

Another day of frisbee...woof woof!

Thought I would share some of my day with you...if I close my eyes will you make Prissy go away so I can play frisbee???

Wild night...

Hello everyone. We had a wild night here last night. There was someone in the neighborhood that started shooting off firecrackers around 2am. Of course, Prissy and I started barking at the tops of our lungs to alert mom and jumped smack in the middle of her. She loves us and understood; however, she was not impressed with both of us landing right on her!(...that is a lot of weight to handle when you aren't expecting it, I guess?) Needless to say, we were up more than half the night...as this went on for quite a while.Crazy thing is, we live in a decent older neighborhood, three blocks from the police station. It always amazes me how they have the rules of "no fireworks in the city limits", yet they can never seem to hear or catch them!Don't get me wrong, I really do love to watch fireworks and so does my mom, but all these homes are wood framed...not a great mix!

I really am not a wimp, but years ago one of the neighbors had some friends over and apparently they got into a fight or something. One of the neighbors "friends" (I wouldn't call them that)shot one of my neighbors in the arm. Mom was inside and thought they were shooting towards me...I was outside when it happened.Plus, she thought she heard the bullet hit the side of our house!(We never found the bullet...thank goodness for old homes with petrified wood!) I broke through the windows of the back door trying to get inside to my mom. (..there was a french door on the back door) Scared the daylights out of us both.Anyway, ever since that happened, loud noises that make a bang sound sort of scare me.

So, it will probably be a long day for my mom. Prissy and I will surely be snoozing away part of the day to catch up on our rest.Talk to all of you later!

Dog's selective hearing

My mom says I have selective hearing. It always amazes her how I can pretend that I do not hear her when it is time to come in from playing; however, let her open a bag of anything that has food in it and I come running!!! I can be half asleep, outside...it doesn't matter...when I hear those bags opening, I am hot to trot. Just like I am ALWAYS ready to go when she says, "want to go bye-bye?". I am at the door in an instant!

In all fairness,I am not the only one with selective hearing. Prissy and the cats have the same problem! I think the cats are worse though, they come running if she opens anything with the can opener. I am not quite that bad!I do have a little constraint!We all feel we are entitled to eat whatever mom has! Doesn't always work out that way, but not for lack of trying on our part!(We even congregate in the doorway of the kitchen when she cooks, looking pathetic, and even giving the "poor woe is me" eyes!)

Seriously, anyone who owns a border collie/Australian shepherd knows that our hearing is outstanding. Most of the time, I hear everything going on, even mom calling me to come in...but just like children, I push the envelope until I hear that certain tone! Kind of like when you were young and your mom used your full name...you knew you had better hightail it in quick!

So,today's lesson is: Be selective with your selective hearing!Sometimes it is for your own good to listen to your mom!

Practicing for American Idol???

Prissy & me...our day coming to a close...

Shamu (on the left) and Prissy(on the right). It has been a BEAUTIFUL day!!! Hope you all had a great one! Remember to add your pictures to our guest book at the bottom of the page so we can see you, too!

I really am a hotdog....jalapeno dog, that is!

I was thinking about the different foods that I like to eat and anything hot is on my list!Okay, I do have to eat dog food most of the time...but, sometimes I can get my owner to give me other things. My favorite is pizza!!! My owner ordered pizza when I was younger, and I kept trying to get at the box for a piece. Finally, they gave in and gave me a little piece. YUM!!! Well, the next time they ordered it, they were trying to deter me from eating it...this one had jalapenos on it. They thought that it would not set well with my tummy. They were wrong!!! My love of hot foods was born!

Now, I will eat anything hot(including tacos w/hotsauce). Pizza is still my favorite, but with the economy, I don't get that often. Another thing I really like, that my owner could not believe, is sour crout and weiners! I love the sour crout! Don't know if I am spelling that correctly???If not, forgive me...I AM a dog!

Of course, I am spoiled! However, I am not as spoiled as my owner's grandmother's dog was. She would get up every morning and cook them a real breakfast! Bacon, eggs, and biscuits! Now they had a great life!!! I have a great life, too...but I don't get real breakfasts every morning! Every once in a while I will get breakfasts like that, but not every day. Now, if I could just get my owner to do that everyday...wouldn't that be fantastic??!!!

Pet friendly theater is back!

If you are in Texas, there is one place you ought to visit. Those of you old enough will remember the old drive-in theaters. Well, there is a (new) drive-in theater in Ennis, TX(that is about 30 miles outside of Dallas). Actually, it has been there several years now. You can bring your pets with you!!! (Okay, I couldn't get in because I would bark at everyone non-stop.) However, if you are a well behaved pet, you are more than welcome here!

Yes, it still has the speakers you can put on the windows! If you prefer high-tech, tune in to your car speakers. You can also play putt-putt out front before the movie begins. It is a great experience!

Enjoy your day!

Spydog at your service

I must admit I am a very nosy dog. I spy on everything going on in my neighborhood and in my house. Don't even mention when I get to go for rides!(I live to bark at everyone) I am very persistent in letting my owner know if someone has done something wrong...like Prissy or the cat. I immediately go to her and give kisses, grab her hand, or jump in her lap...whatever it takes. I feel it is my job to make sure no animal gets away with things I didn't, or can't, get away with. You know...like getting into the trash, knocking things over, etc. Anyway, if you are a nosy dog, too...leave me a message and share your story!

Did you eat the phone????

Just in case you happen to have eaten your owner's phone or burried it in the yard(not speaking from experience, of course!) then this will help you get out of the dog house!This place gives you a free cell phone + 500 minutes each month for under $13.00!!!! You are such a good dog for bringing it to their attention.....no more dog house for you!
