Chevy looks tired of knocking at the door!

Prissy's friend...more pictures of Chevy!

Hi, we just got these pictures this morning. Chevy was a little under the weather and the doc sent him to bed! Actually, he was on medication and stuff for his leg. Say a little prayer for him!He is doing better now, though...

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'm not in the Sunshine state, but we have sunshine today!

Awesome, awesome day!!! We have sunshine and it is 65 degrees! Perfect frisbee weather! I have talked to some fellow bloggers from the north. I definitely feel for them! They have snow and expect more snow today! I am thankful I live in Texas!

Granted, our weather changes constantly. For the most part, though, I can play outside almost all year round! I love to play!!! Prissy and I have been outside chasing squirrels, each other, and the frisbee all day today. The cat even got gutsy and came outside with us for a little while!

I do remember one year that it snowed here in February. Of course, it wasn't cold enough to last...just on the grass and trees a little. It was very pretty, though!!! Only time I have seen snow in my lifetime. It was funny watching the other animals walking around tip-toeing on their paws! Guess they had never seen it either and didn't know what to make of it. I enjoyed it, but I still love the spring and summertime best. (People around here don't cook out and throw me their bones in the winter!)

Anyway, have a terrific day and I will catch up with you later. I have some serious playing to do!!!

Cats are crazy!

I wasn't decided on what to write today, until I started noticing the cat. She had jumped into my owner's lap while she was on the computer. My owner was playing a game on line (Yahoo-Bouncing Balls) and the cat started swatting at the screen and kept trying to grab the pointer! Don't cats know that you can't reach through that screen??? Duh!

Now don't get me wrong...I have been known to jump my big self up into her lap while they are on the computer, too. However, I have NEVER swatted at the screen! Usually I am just wanting a hug, or more water, or something like that....or it is time for them to stop working and come play with me!! Frisbee time!!! (Too cold for that today...I wish it were Spring!!!)

Anyway, cats sure are funny. One minute they ignore you, the next they are trying to grab your tail, and now add swatting at the computer screen! I just don't understand cats!Do you?

I did notice online today a place I would like to go visit...they have a dog beach! Check out the cute photos at this site: "http://www.sandiegodogbeach.com/"..be sure and tell them Shamu @ "http://uought2badog.blogspot.com/" sent you!

Too cold to type!!!

My owner says it is too cold to type today! I think the weather is fine...of course, I have fur. I don't understand the rituals humans go through just to go outside in the cold...I mean, I don't put on any extra clothing, why do they have to??? It is funny seeing them all bundled up...makes it a little harder for them to play, if you ask me! I prefer to wear the fur God gave me...no scarves for me anymore!

Did I mention that when my owner saw my picture for the first time, I had a scarf on? The ladies at the shelter had put one on me. First and last time I wore one. Now, I don't know if that is the reason my owner picked me, but I am glad she did! I am also glad she doesn't dress me up in those anymore! Not my thing, however I am fine if others want to do that. I think I look pretty good without anything added! What do you think???

Oh, well...have a good evening and try to stay warm everyone!

Chevy-Prissy's friend

Speaking of spoiled...this is Prissy's friend, Chevy. Actually it is my owner's friend, Joyce's dog. Prissy has met them and spent a few days with them. Check out this cute bed!!! Joyce made this from a bunk bed she got and cut it down to Chevy's size. Too cool!!! Wish we had beds like he does!

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!

Check them out here:

Enjoy your day!

Honest mom, I wasn't in the trash!!!

Cutie Pie got caught! oops!

Dogs know things people don't...listen to them!

Good morning! Okay, for those of you who do not own a dog, this may sound a bit crazy. For those of you who do own dogs....you already know this. (...or should)

Dogs know things about other people that their owners don't or cannot visibly see! My owner has learned to listen to me...I trained them well. When I bark at people, there are different ways I bark. There is the "I see you" bark...kind of non-threatening bark and tail wagging. Similar to a "hello" in human language. However, I have another bark that means, "danger"! Continuous growl, No tail is wagging and hair on my back is raised! This really means, I do not like this person, there is a very good reason for it, and get away from them quickly!!!

Now, I cannot speak English...so listen to me when I bark. My owner has found out that when I give those types of danger barks, even if the person appears friendly, or is known by my owner, eventually she will find out some reason why I warned them. (whether it is a person on drugs, has aggression issues, or other things) Now she listens up front, you should, too! Don't mistake the facts, even if a person does not like dogs(we still like them), or is afraid of dogs(we still like people who are afraid of us), this does not affect the dogs knowledge. We are right on...no matter what! Trust our instincts!Listen to your dog next time!

Animals as Friends: Imir and Stassi,rottweiler-family in photos

I thought I would add this link for my readers...since Prissy is part rottweiler. She does look simular to these cute puppies. She was about 3 or 4 months old when she strolled onto our property. Of course, I am a sucker for animals...so needless to say, she is still with us...until her new adoptive dad comes and picks her up, anyway. She will then be moving to Missouri with him. She will also be taking "her" cat, "Sugar Foot" with her. I will try to get them to get together for a photo before that happens and share it with you.

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!

Weekend fun!

Hello, everyone~TGIF!!! I am having a blast playing outside! Little windy, but helps my frisbees go further! I have been checking out some websites I want to share with you soon. One is a rescue place here in TX. I know about being in a shelter all too well! My owner got me from a shelter about 6 or 7 years ago. The shelter people actually gave me my name, "Shamu", because of how much food I ate even back then! (My owner decided to keep that name, she thought it was appropriate, too.) I suppose it fits in other ways; I am fun to watch, I play frisbee(...okay, not in the water like the other Shamu), and I still eat alot! Of course, Prissy is about to catch up with me on the eating part! Anyway, as soon as I receive the okay, I am going to add a link to the rescue site. Check them out and help if you can. Us mixed breeds are really terrific dogs!

My dog is smarter than yours

Okay, this dog makes me look very bad!I don't have this many toys...but you have to admit he IS smart!

Daily reminders:

My owner got this in the e-mail from her mom this morning...thought you would enjoy it. Remember that your dog or pet loves you dearly, too!Give everyone an extra hug today!

"This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's true.

1. There are at least two people in this world
that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world
love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you
is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone,
even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you
before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever,
something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you
take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received.
Forget about the rude remarks.

And always remember....
when life hands you Lemons,
ask for Sugar and call me over!

Good friends are like stars.
You don't always see them,
But you know they are always there.

'Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though
Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway'

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here
than a whole truckload when I'm gone.

Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Life keeps You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only
God keeps You Going"

Great day today...

Sorry so late to post. I had my owner sign up for some blog sharing space. She signed up with Blog Explosion, so once it is active, more pet owners will see my blog! I will also share some blogs with you on my site that are interesting from there! I can't wait!!! Looked like some pretty interesting ones were on there.

Today is a pretty nice day. Still a little cold, but I will get to go outside and play frisbee later. No rain today...woohoo!!! I just love to show off in front of the neighbor's german shepherd. He doesn't get to play very much. His owner doesn't really play anything with him. He is always at the fence watching us. We have this little game we play together, Prissy is even joining me now. We bark at each other and then start racing down the fenceline. I have an advantage, though...nothing is in my way to the back fence! He, unfortunately, runs smack into a little building and can't go all the way back. Tickles me every time we run...you think he would learn that I win everytime.

Well, have to run outside for now...almost time for the mail lady and you know I can't miss barking at them! Have a great day and check back often. If you have any suggestions for my sight, things you would like to see, questions, or comments, feel free to leave them!

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!
