In The Dog House

Changeings at De Casa ...

2010-01-13T18:34:00.006-05:00

De most recent happenings at de casa have encouraged myself to anticipate a long winter of napping with Senor Roberto. In abrupt fashion, Senor Roberto is no longer leaving de pack to go out into de world hunting for food for days at a time. Dis is a good thing as Senor Roberto never returned with any food for de pack, anyway; so I, myself, was in doubt of his hunting abilities in de first place. Now I will resume my place as pack leader and provide food stuffs for de weaker members. Dis will, et is myself's greatest hope, allow myself de opportunity to once again impress my beloved puta in hopes dat she will once again feel lovings for me. Although I, myself, am not interested in de lovings of de little green vine, I will perhaps order de little senor boy to get her snacks form time to time so she will not starve.

What I, myself, have not appreciated is de early morning activity awaking de casa each day. Why Senora Mommy insists upon leaving de sleeping platform before de sun has shown itself in de sky is beyond my reckoning. She is de first member of de pack to arise from sleep and de last member of de pack to nest into sleep for de night. I, myself, of course feels it is myself's duty to protect and assist her. When she is finished in de watering room and has put on her layers of coverings, I, myself, follows her to de eating room to watch her stuff food items into small boxes, prepare de first meal of de day for de pack, and issue leaderly commands to de rest of de pack. In quick fashion, Senora Mommy ushers Senor Roberto and de little senor boy out de front door of de casa for whatever adventures await them. My beloved put, de little green vine, and myself are left in sudden quiet peacefulness to spend our time napping, barking, and occasionally inventorying de toys in our toy box.

Then, as de day is nearing it's ending, Senor Roberto, Senora Mommy, and de little senor boy arrive back at de casa to complete a variety of manual labors, prepare and eat more foods, and then sit in front of de talking box for several hours. Dis is de part I, myself, enjoy most. Sitting with Senor Roberto is a wondering delightful time of eating de crumbs from his food snackings, drinking from his beverage container, and taking myself's time in grooming him with my dutiful licking. Of course, I, myself, am much aggravated when my beloved puta and de little green vine join forces against myself and force their way onto Senor Robert's lap. their bodies leave no room for me and I, myself, fear of being trampled by their nonsensical and excitable prancing must take myself to another spot for rest-ation and relaxedness.

I, myself, am left wondering how long this schedule will influence de casa ... how long will Senora Mommy be able to withstand such a tired inducing day of activity ... how long before my beloved puta will once again be in love with myself ... and when, if ever, de little senor will move out into de garage where I continues to tell him he should be. These are mysteries for myself to ponder during dis cold season of weather.

Hey! Guess What??!!

2010-01-13T18:20:00.004-05:00

... like it was Christmas a few days ago and Mommie put loads of yummy snacks in our big hanging sock ... and it took forever but she finally let us eat them ... and now, Mommie is talking about taking the pretty tree with all it's sparkly thingys out of the living room ... but like, I like the sparkly tree and I don't want it to leave ... oh yeah! ... and guess what??!! ... Big Daddy is home to stay! ... 'cause like he left something called a job to go to something called a school but I don't know why ... yeah, well ... oh ... and like, guess what?? ... I am so happy that Big Daddy is home every night ... and like, me and Ivan have to fight the rat so we can sit in a spot next to Big Daddy ... stupid rat always gets to sit on Big Daddy's leg and that's not fair ... oh yeah, guess what else?? ... the rat got into big trouble when Mommie caught him chewing on the dead body of the little boy's swimming food ... like one day there were two swimming foods in the water box and then, like, another day there was just one ... and like, I kept smelling something weird in the bedroom but I couldn't find it ... and then, Mommie caught the rat chewing on something and pulled it away from him ... it was the dried out body of one of the swimming foods! ... eeeewwww ... that was SO gross! ... and he was chewing on it and stuff and then, like, he wanted to lick on me and stuff ... yuck! ... and he kept saying, "Myself is providing food for the pack." ... and I was like, "Oh yeah? Then how come none of the pack got a chance to eat any of that?!" ... and he was like, "It was a practice hunt to prepare myself for bringing in something larger." ... and I was like, "Larger? Like what? ... like, what are you going to bring into the house for us to eat that doesn't have antennas??" ... and he was like, "I, myself, have seen a brown cat with unusually long ears and a round, puffy tail ... " ... and then I was laughing too hard to hear what else he said ... oh yeah, and like Ivan and me take turns sitting next to Big Daddy so the rat can't get his place back ... oh yeah, and guess what ELSE?! ... Ivan taught me how to go out the front door and COME BACK ... I always want to go out the front door but Mommie never let me because when I went out I would stay out because there was so much to smell and pee on out there ... but like, I watched her let Ivan out and then Ivan would pee and come right back ... and I guess since Ivan comes back then Mommie doesn't have to go hunting for her like she has to come hunting for me ... so, like, the next time Ivan went out I begged Mommie to let me go too ... and like, she did! ... and it was so great and I ran all over the yard ... but when Mommie called for us, I went back inside like Ivan ... and Mommie gave me a cookie!! ... so now ... everytime I go out the front door I make sure to come back for my cookie! ... that's just so cool .... yeah ... umm ... bye bye ....

New Beginnings Abound ...

2010-01-13T18:02:00.004-05:00

Good Evening Everyone,

Didn't we have just a wonderful holiday season? I particularly enjoyed all the family time we had together. And now we are starting a New Year. I just love the start of a New Year because it brings with it so many wonderful new beginnings.

Speaking of something new beginning, I am just so proud to report that Mr. Bob has decided to return to school and prepare himself for a career that allows him to stay home on a daily basis. Although I have appreciated his sacrifices in leaving the family in order to go to work each week, I must say I am so pleased to know that he won't be doing that any more. Without Mr. Bob our little family is missing it's jaunty spark. Don't get me wrong. Miss Jacque and Mr Alex are both wonderful. But there just seems to be something about Mr Bob that livens the place up.

We are having no shortage of excitement in our pack these days. We have a new morning and evening schedule to follow, we're eating much healthier, we're exercising several days a week, and we're being exceptionally thrifty. Miss Jacque has a talent for being able to stretch her money each week to be sure to provide us with wonderful meals and needed supplies; not to mention supervising the collective efforts of everyone to keep our home neat and tidy. I so admire her domestic talents.

Now that Mr Bob is staying at home each day, Mr Rudy seems to be under the impression that we will all starve because no one is going out hunting for food. I don't know why he thinks Mr. Bob left each week to go hunting as it is Miss Jacque and Mr Alex who bring in the groceries each week. But suffice to say, Mr Rudy has been overly anxious about making sure food is provided.

I am not an eye witness so I can not comment on whether or not Mr Rudy intentionally ambushed one of the fish from Mr Alex's aquarium. But I did witness Mr Rudy chewing on it's dried and petrified remains. That was such a disgusting sight! He was lying on the floor, holding the poor petrified carcass of the fish in his paws, and trying to grind it up by chewing and gnawing all over it. He made quite a noise. In fact, the noise is what got Miss Jacque's attention and she, quite thankfully, took the dead fish away from Mr. Rudy and threw it into the trash! But I think that hurt Mr. Rudy's feelings a tad because after that he crawled under their bed and pouted for a while. He's been mumbling about a cat with long ears and a round, puffy tail. I think he is planning to hunt a rabbit next. This could prove to be quite an entertaining event.

And finally, I am proud to announce that I have taught Miss Mollee how to go outside and COME BACK without running off like a wild buffalo. I saw how distressed everyone would get when Miss Mollee would dart out the front door and run away. I asked her why she did that. She told me that she was just overcome with joy to be running free that it never occurred to her that she shouldn't leave her own yard and stay close to the house. Having been a victim of the cruel dangers in the outside world, I cautioned her to think with more care and protect herself from the many dangers outside the front door. She seems to have seriously considered what I advised because now she goes outside to potty with me and she comes right back. I am glad she is motivated by good sense rather than continuing to run willy-nilly up and down the street.

I hope everyone has started as wonderful a New Year as we have. Take care and stay warm during the cold winter season.

Ivy

Fall Is So Delightful

2008-10-21T21:59:00.003-04:00

Good Evening Everyone,

I am so pleased to report that Fall is here! I just love this time of year. I suffer all summer in the heat with my thick coat. It is such a relief when Fall arrives and the temperature cools off. And we have had a most wonderful event transpire recently! Miss Jacque is taking us for walks in the mornings and evenings. I can not even begin to express my joy and excitement for being outdoors. Miss Jacque and Mr Bob have provided us with a wonderful fenced backyard and easy access in and out. But there is nothing like the wonderful freedom of walking through the neighborhood.

It took Miss Jacque some time to find the right leash and collar for me. I am embarrassed to say that my body is of strange proportions and none of the halters she had would work for me. But she has finally found a leash/collar combination that works quite well. I am also pleased that Miss Mollee and I are able to walk together. Honestly, just watching Miss Mollee enjoy herself on these walks is entertainment unto itself. She sniffs at everything and boldly charges out in front to explore what is around the next corner.

The other evening she walked right by a cat and never noticed it. I didn't say anything to her because I was afraid it might scare her. When we passed back by there on the the way back, she finally saw it and stopped in her tracks. She got low to the ground and sniffed and sniffed and sniffed. It was quite funny. She asked me, "Ivan, is that doggie thingy what smells so weird?? What IS that??" I tried to tell her it was a cat. But evidently Miss Mollee has never seen a cat before so she was a bit confused.

So far Miss Jacque has not been able to coax Mr Rudy in joining us in our walking. He is not submissive to the leash and collar. He wants to go outside with us but doesn't want to wear the collar and leash. Thankfully Miss Jacque refuses to take him outside without them. But I feel bad for him and his fears because after we leave and close the door, I can hear him calling after us, "Take me toooooo!" But he won't get to go until he is willing to wear the collar and leash.

After our walks we have enjoyed coming home to get cookies and water. And then, best of all, we have been able to jump up in bed and take a long nap with Mr Bob. He is not always home so I appreciate every moment I get to sleep next to him. He creates such wonderful warmth with his big body. And he's nicely furry, too. Mollee and I enjoy napping with Mr. Bob.

I look forward to enjoying more of the Fall weather on our walks and can't wait to watch Miss Mollee discover all the great things in the neighborhood.

Have a good evening!

Ivy

Hey! Guess What???

2008-10-21T21:47:00.003-04:00

... like Mommie has started the most fun game ... it is super duper cool ... and like, I am so happy about the new game ... 'cause, like, I get to go outside and stuff ... oh yeah, and like, Mommie puts the ropes on me and Ivan and takes us outside and stuff ... and like, then we get to walk all around and sniff everything and see everything ... it is so way cool ... and like, the other day when we were out sniffing ... like, I saw this furry doggie like thing but it wasn't a doggie but I haven't seen anything like it before ... but it was super cool ... and like it smelled weird ... oh yeah, and Ivan wasn't scared of it at all ... Ivan is so cool ... and oh yeah ... like the rat is afraid to go outside with us ... 'cause like, I think he's afraid he'll get eaten by the weird smelly thing ... and like, he's such a coward because, like, when Mommie gets the ropes out in the evening ... like, the rat goes and hides under the bed and stuff ... and like, he's so afraid ... I think it's funny but Ivan kinda thinks it is sad and she says, "Poor Mr. Rudy is afraid of the outside." ... but like, I know he's really just too stupid to know what to do with the ropes and all ... but whatever ... so, like, when we come back ... Ivan and I are so tired that we go sleepy right then ... 'cause like, there's always room in the bed with Big Daddy ... and like, he's always in the bed ... so that's cool .... oh yeah, and I think my paw hurts ... like, it feels all rubbery and stuff .... but that's ok ... I can't wait to go walking in the ropes again tomorrow!

I, Myself, Have Recovered

2008-10-21T21:34:00.004-04:00

Et is with mucho pleasure dat I, myself, can inform you dat I, myself, have recovered from de bite of de firey ant. Finally myself's paw has reduced it's swollenness and gone back to regular size. I, myself, am continuing myself's schedule of rest and relaxations as et is not known if firey ant bites return if too much work is accomplished. So I, myself, will take no chances.

Meanwhile, Senora Mommie continues dragging de remainder of de pack along de roadside and through de village in de evenings. She has started applying de torture devices after supper and takes de Little Green Vine and my beloved puta from de casa for extended ambling in de village. I, myself, am not mucho happy to be strapped into de torture devices so, I, myself, am attempting to avoid dis misery. But I see Senora Mommie smiling at me and dangling de devices she wants to utilize on myself and I continue to elude her by sneaking to my secret lair under de sleeping platform. Here I, myself, will stay to evade capture and subsequent village dragging spectacle.

Adios

Poor Mr Rudy!

2008-10-05T00:37:00.003-04:00

Good Evening Everyone,

I am so sorry to report that poor little Mr Rudy got bitten today by a fire ant. I understand this is the second time this has happened. Evidently the last time he got bitten on the lip and, according to Miss Jacque, he had a terrible week during which all parts of his little body were swelling up as the ant poison was working it's way out of his system. Thankfully, Miss Jacque took him to the VET last time and got medicine and instructions on how to take care of him. We are so fortunate that she is so knowledgeable about these kinds of things.

Actually it was Mr Bob who first discovered Mr Rudy was injured. As soon as Miss Jacque saw it she knew what to do. She gave Mr Rudy some medicine and spent some time loving on him. I thought it was so cute that she was trying to make sure Mr Rudy took his medicine by disguising it in a piece of cheese. And she was so thoughtful of our feelings because she gave Miss Mollee and me a piece of cheese as well (it didn't have medicine in it though).

All evening Miss Jacque and Mr Bob have watched Mr Rudy very carefully for any sign of distress or worsening. And later this evening they fixed a small foot bath for Mr Rudy so he could soak his paw in some Epsom Salts in hopes that it would help draw out the poison. I was proud of his sad little self as he sat on the table and allowed Mr Bob and Miss Jacque to minister to him. Please, everyone, let's all say a prayer that Mr Rudy recovers from this fire ant bite quickly and without too much pain.

Have a good evening,

Ivy

P.S. I am sorry to report that Betsy (my little purple and white cow toy given to me by Miss Jacque last weekend) has not survived. This past Friday while I was outside enjoying the sunshine, Miss Mollee "adopted" little Betsy. And one nibble led to another and the next thing I knew I saw Betsy laying on the living room floor beside a huge pile of stuffing. Alas, I have lost my toy. But I am sure Miss Jacque will get me a new one soon. Poor, poor, Betsy ...

Hey! Guess What??!!

2008-10-05T00:26:00.003-04:00

... like while the rat and Ivan and me were out in the backyard ... ummm ... the rat ... he like was playing around the red dirty blob ... and like, he started yelping and stuff ... and like, I didn't know what he was doing but I ran over there ... and like, he was dancing around on three paws because he said like, "Help me! Help me! I, myself will surely die!" ... and like, I saw that he was shaking one of those mean bugs off his paw ... so, like, ummm ... I guess he got bit by it or something ... 'cause like, after some time passed his paw was growing bigger and bigger and bigger ... and, oh yeah, so like Big Daddy noticed something was wrong with the rat's paw ... I tried to lick it and make it better and stuff ... but he wouldn't let me ... and then like Big Daddy and Mommie were inspecting it ... oh yeah and guess what?! ... we all got to eat cheese and cookies ... and like they were so good ... but Big Daddy and Mommie kept loving on the rat because of his paw ... and like, then they stuck his paw in some smelly waters ... and then we got more cheese!! ... so like that was cool ... but now I'm afraid they're gonna stick my paw in the smelly water ... and like, I don't want any part of that! ... so like, I went to hide in the bed ... but I hope the rat's paw stops growing because if it keeps this up ... ummm ... I think maybe, like, it'll explode!

I, Myself, Am Injured

2008-10-04T23:41:00.005-04:00

Oh, et was a sad day at de casa. I, myself, am in mucho pain from de injury I, myself, have sustained from de firey ant in de backyard. While I, myself, was on patrol and seeking to protect de casa from intruders, I, myself, stopped to sniff at a high mound of dirt. Little did I, myself, know but that dis high mound of dirt contained de mucho dangerous firey ants! Before I, myself, could escaped, one of de little firey ants had bitten my paw. De injury was de bite right between myself's toes, of all places! Damn those firey ants and their accuracy! Now I, myself, am watching my paw swell to larger sizes. Et is painful to me. Et is very painful. I, myself, know nothing to be done for et although Senora Mommie and Senior Roberto are attempting to help me to feels better. They have fed me mucho amounts of cheese this evening. Although et is tasty, I, myself, do not understand how et will help. But I, myself, will continue to eat et.

Adios

Oh My Heavens!

2008-09-27T22:13:00.004-04:00

Good Evening,

I am so disturbed to report that Miss Mollee and Mr Rudy have destroyed the lovely stuffed toys Miss Jacque and Mr Bob so thoughtfully gave to us all today. Mr Rudy was given the sweetest little giraffe. He made short work of it, though. I stood next to him and watched, in horror, as he quickly gnawed off it's ears, chewed through it's head, and unceremoniously pulled all it's insides out! I was shocked. I have never seen something destroyed so expediently!

And then, to my utter dismay, Miss Mollee did the same thing to the little black and white puppy she was given! When I saw her beginning to 'mother' it, I was warmed by her sweetness and thought she would love on and treasure it. But only a few short hours later I looked over to see her pulling it's insides out!

I am attempting to protect the little purple cow Miss Jacque gave me. I was so happy to get a toy all for myself! It has been a long time since I had something of my very own. I am now sitting on the back of the sofa, next to Mr Bob, trying to safeguard my little purple cow (whom I have named Betsy) from the rotten behavior of these other two savages. My heavens!

Please send your best wishes to Betsy and my vigil ... I will need the support, I fear.

Have a good evening everyone,

Ivy.

Another Interloper es Banished

2008-09-27T22:06:00.004-04:00

I, myself, am prouldy to reported dat yet another stuffy interloper has been banished from de casa! Et is beyond myself why Senior Roberto insists to bring stuffy interlopers into de casa. De stuffy interlopers cause destruction and chaotic behaviors amongst de pack. De must be destroyed. As you can see from the small remaining stuffy here, I, myself, have successfully destroyed de stuffy dat was presented to myself. Another important mission accomplished by myself.

Adios

Hey! Guess what??!! ....

2008-09-27T21:24:00.011-04:00

... like today ... it was the little boy's birthday ... and like, Big Daddy and Mommie left the house with him ... and like, when they all came home they had all these nifty plastic bags that were all loud and noisy ... and guess what??!! ... inside one of them was a new toy for me!! ... oh, I was so happy to get a new BABY! ... oh it was so pretty ... it was a little puppy baby all for me to love all by myself ... 'cause, like, Big Daddy gave Ivan and the Rat new toys of their own ... so they wouldn't want mine ... I guess ... anyway ... so, like I was loving on my puppy baby and licking him and talking to him and stuff ... and I took him to the bedroom to see Big Daddy's pillow but, like, puppy baby didn't care about that ... so, like, I took puppy baby to see the little boy's pillow ... but, like, he didn't care about that either ... and like, I was getting tired of taking puppy baby to all the pillows so I, like, laid down for a nap and set puppy baby next to me ... and then, guess what?! ... when I woke up puppy baby was still there! ... and I was so happy and everything ... so like I started licking him ... and like it was so cool because he tasted so good ... and like ... well .... one nibble led to another ... and before I knew it ... umm ... like .... I chewed up puppy baby's butt and pulled out all his insides .... I hate it when I do that .... oh well .... maybe Big Daddy will bring me a new puppy baby soon!

So Exciting!

2008-09-18T19:59:00.009-04:00

Good Evening Everyone,

I would like to report that I have settled into this new home quite well and feel so loved and welcomed. I am now, dare I say, part of the pack. Everyday we seem to have some new adventure. Mr. Rudy and Miss. Mollee are entertaining to watch. They are still having some difficulty learning how to play with me. But we are all living together nicely. Sometimes Mr. Rudy declares that he is in charge and that Miss. Mollee and I must follow his orders. This usually happens when Mr. Bob or Miss. Jacque are not at home. I try to be polite and part of the pack but sometimes what he wants doesn’t make much sense to me.

For example, last night Miss. Jacque was allowing us a chance to try out her new treadmill. I have sat in her lap many evenings and enjoyed watching the doggie show with her where the man teaches humans how to take better care of their dogs. I have seen the man help dogs walk on treadmills and it always seems to have a positive result. So when Miss. Jacque got a treadmill, I really hoped we would get a chance to try it out.

That evening Miss. Jacque put on Miss. Mollee’s harness and helped her learn how to walk on the treadmill. Poor Miss. Molle was scared at first. But she soon got the hang of it. I stood nearby and shouted my enthusiastic support in hopes to bolster her courage and support her efforts. I think she did quite a good job. I think she may have done a better job if Mr. Rudy had not been in such a panic that Miss. Jacque was going to put him on the treadmill too.

Then it was my turn and I was so very happy to give it a try. Once Miss. Jacque placed me on the treadmill I quickly realized why Miss. Mollee had so much trouble keeping her balance. Walking forward on the rolling mat was quite a challenge. And it tired me out. I found it so much easier to walk forward and then ride backward until I was close to falling off the back end and would walk forward again. Doing it like that was much more lady-like and pleasant.

We all had to listen to Mr. Rudy loudly declare that under no circumstances would he put up with that kind of treatment. I do not know why he was in such a panic other than it would have required some effort on his part to participate. In any event, Miss. Mollee and I had a great time and are looking forward to our next opportunity to walk on Miss. Jacque’s treadmill.

Have a great evening everyone!

Super Fun!

2008-09-18T19:59:00.007-04:00

Hey! Guess what????

... like I’ve been watching Mommie walk on her machine for a few days now and ... like ... although I don’t know what she’s doing I think it’s totally awesome ... cause, like, she’s walking fast inside the house and ... like, that’s just too way fun ... so like ... when she put the ropes on me I thought we were going outside ... and I was like, “but it’s raining out there, Mommie” ... and she was like, “but we’re not going outside” ... so it was cool to see what she was gonna do ... so she put the ropes on me ... and then ... this is so awesome ... she put me on the walking machine too! ... and guess what??!! ... it was going forward, and all ... and like, I was walking forward with it and stuff ... but I was like ... scared, you know? ... ‘cause I haven’t walked on a machine before ... and like ... it was a little loud and like ... well ... it took me a few minutes to figure out how to walk on it ... but guess what??!! ... I did! ... and I walked and walked and walked ... oh yeah, and like ... little Ivan was so excited to play this new game ... and like, she was cheering me on and stuff .... but like, that rat was hiding behind the couches wailing, “Oh God Help Us All!” ... and Ivan was trying to tell him it would be ok ... but, like ... he’s so stupid ... oh ... and guess what??!! ... I must have done a good job because Mommie let me get off the machine ... and like, the rat ... he stuck his head out from behind the couch ... and he was like, “Are you dead yet?” ... and I was like, “No you dummy, that was fun!” ... and he was like, “oh please beg for God to spare me from this new labor!” ... and I was like, “Whatever, you moron” ... and then I turned around ... and guess what??!! ... Mommie put Ivan on the walking machine ... and Ivan was so cool! ... she ran to the front of the machine and then sat down and, like, rode back ... I wish I had thought of that ... whatever ... and then when Ivan was done ... like, Mommie gave us cookies and all ... and they were really good ... and then I jumped onto the couch ... and like ... the next thing I kenw it was late and Mommie was carrying me to bed ... like, I was so way tired!

Slave Labors

2008-09-18T19:59:00.003-04:00

Et is my duty to report abuses at de casa when I, myself, think dat an abuse es happening. I, myself, take dis duty seriously. I, myself, also thinks safety for de other putas is of some importance too. Et is for these facts dat I, myself, must report dat Senora Mommie is forcing us to perform slave labors. Dis is a serious happening dat demands de attention of someone who can influence Senora Mommie so she won’t do dis to me ... ummm ... oh, and for certainly to de other putas also.

At a point last night after she forced de little boy to eat at de table, even though I continue to tell them he needs to be eating in de garage, Senora Mommie spent time moving forward to nowhere on her walking machine. Dis machine makes many beeping and mechanical noises dat are mysterious to me. I, myself, do not understand why dis walking machine is needed in de casa. I have been suspicious of et from de beginning and have done my best work to protect de putas from et’s mysterious mechanizations.

I, myself, did not become concerned until I, myself, saw Senora Mommie affix de torture devices to my beloved puta and place her upon de walking machine. I, myself, was terrified to see dat Senora Mommie was forcing de puta to walk forward to nowhere on de walking machine! My poor, poor beloved puta! Her gloriously long legs were struggling to keep up with de revolving platform and I, myself, could plainly hear her cries of fear and dismay. I, myself, spoke loudly to Senora Mommie, demanding dat she remove my beloved puta from dis device and dat she stop her evil forcing upon my beloved puta to walk forward to nowhere.

I, myself, see no purposes to dis activity. I, myself, was so relieved when Senora Mommie allowed de puta to jump off de walking machine. I, myself, was proud of my beloved puta dat she was able to withstand dis new attempt of torture without becoming dead. Although I, myself, offered to nurse her injuries for her, she, herself, modestly declined my assistance.

Imagine my shockedness to witness Senora Mommie placing de Little Green Vine upon de walking machine, too! De Little Green Vine was playfully barking at Senora Mommie and her evil accomplice, de little boy. De poor Little Green Vine did not realize she was being slave labored into walking forward to nowhere for no purpose. Et was a sad sight for I, myself, to see. De Little Green Vine was walking forward fastly, then would sit down, and then would ride de revolving mat back to de end before jumping up and walking forward again. Et was a dangerous strategy to preserve her strength but et seemed to have successfully worked for her. Ignoring her own wounds, my beloved puta stationed herself at de back of the walking machine to watch over De Little Green Vine in case she fell off. My beloved puta spoke encouragement to De Little Green Vine and stayed by her side until de tortures were complete.

Thankfully, after de tortures of De Little Green Vine were complete, Senora Mommie turned her attention to de little boy and started giving him de growling orders to take himself to de water room and remove his scent. I, myself, lurked beneath de sleeping platform in order to implement my strategy of “Out of Line of Vision – Out of Danger” in order to avoid becoming victim of de walking machine and Senora Mommie’s new torture of slave labors! After many moments, I, myself went back into de big room and chanced a look at my beloved Puta and De Little Green Vine. They were both in deep sleep laying upon de couches. I, myself, checked to see dat de air was blowing from their noses and, when dat was determined, I, myself, positioned myself across de back of de couch to stand guard over them. I, myself, will attempt to defend them from any more of Senora Mommie’s torture!

Fun Times

2008-04-03T21:35:00.003-04:00

Hello Everyone! I must say that I have really enjoyed living in and learning about my new home. New Mommy and Daddy are so nice and their son is so sweet and caring. They take good care of me. They all make sure to include me in all the activities and I can tell that they are still encouraging little Mollee and Rudy to accept me.

A few weeks ago Mommy and Daddy went to the store and bought some seed packets. Mommy was talking to Daddy about planting a garden. The next week, Daddy and the little boy worked so hard in the back yard to build a raised bed for Mommy to use as a garden. I watched them with interest and just couldn't help myself when I jumped int the garden and pranced around in the dirt. Mommy told me not to do that and I will try very hard in the future to resist the lure of all that wonderfully smelling dirt.

The next weekend Mommy, Daddy, and the little boy took a trip to the beach. I would love to see the beach one day. But since they were only going to be gone for a day, they left us at home this time. Poor Rudy was beside himself with worry. He was afraid they would never come back and he refused to let poor little Mollee eat anything. He didn't ant anyone to eat the food they left for us (3 bowls of food and 4 bowls of water) in case Mommy and Daddy didn't come back the next day. I thought he was being silly, but it wasn't my place to give him instructions. I, however, ate when I was hungry. But I never took more than my share.

While they were gone, little Mollee introduced me to "The Fence" next door. Evidently there is a female Great Dane that lives in the yard next door and our yards are separated by a fence. I don't think little Mollee understands that it's a dog ... not a horse ... that is barking back at her. It is quite comical to watch her running back and forth and yipping at "the fence".

I have enjoyed learning my way around the back yard and I look forward to seeing what Mommy can grow in her garden. As it is warming up outside, I am sure she will be planting something soon. Maybe she will grow some of those chewy sticks we all love so much.

Have a nice evening!

Hey! ... Guess what?? ...

... like we all played in the yard the other day ... and like, Big Daddy and the little boy were playing with some really big sticks and stuff ... and later when I ran over there to bark at them, they had made this box full of dirt ... and like, it was so super cool ... but when I jumped into it Big Daddy got mad and yelled at me and stuff ... so, like, I didn't jump into it again for a long time ... oh, yeah, and like, I don't know what it's for but the rat says that the little boy is gonna rest in peace there ... but like, I don't think Big Daddy will be digging out a hole for him everyday 'cause like, Big Daddy doesn't like to work too hard and stuff ... but we'll see what happens ... oh, and guess what else??!! ... Mommie and Big Daddy and the little boy left us home alone the other weekend ... it was so awesome ... I could do whatever I wanted and do it whenever I wanted and do it however I wanted ... man, that was so cool ... and like, I napped and napped and took more naps ... oh yeah, and I played outside with Ivan and we ran around in the dirt box ... and I got to visit with the fence and the horse next door ... but like, every time I went to eat something, the rat was like "No! Don't eat! They're never coming back! We must save our food for when I am desperate!" ... and I was like, ummm ... I'm desperate now ... and the rat was like, "You must wait. You may not eat today!" ... and I was like, ummm ... why not? ... and he was like, "Because they might not come back and then I could starve to death and it would be my duty to eat you and the Green Vine in order to live and tell our story!" ... and I was like, ummm ... what story? ... and the rat was like, "The story of how you and the Green Vine were left to die of hunger when your owners abandoned you." ... and I was like, uumm ... they didn't abandon us cause like, I heard Mommie and Big Daddy talking about going to some big sand yard and playing in water but that they would be back the next day ... but the rat just kept talking about how it was the end of the world and we were left all alone and we were gonna die and stuff ... and ummm ... well ... I told Ivan not to pay any attention to the rat because he's just a stupid dumb rat ... but we both decided to eat when he wasn't looking since he was so scared that we were going to eat all the food ... and like, I woke up from one of my naps and everyone was home again!

Home Alone ...

2008-04-03T21:10:00.002-04:00

There es mucho happenings at de casa these last weeks. I, myself, continue to watch de little Green Vine for any signature that she es leaving de casa anytime soon. But, alas, it seems that Senora Mommie intends to keep de Green Vine for more weeks. Perhaps dis es why she directed for Senor Roberto and de little boy to construct de grande box of dirt.

At first, I, myself, was mucho pleased to see that Senior Roberto was finally constructing a proper resting place for de little boy as he does not belong in de casa and should be in de garage as I, myself, attempts to remind him on a mucho frequency basis. I, myself, watched as senior Roberto and de little boy assembled a long box in de back yard according to Senora Mommie's specifics. Then everyone filled de big box with wonderful earthy smelling dirt. My beloved puta, de little Green Vine, and myself were mucho pleased to immediately jump into de box of dirt to celebrate de movement of de little boy and to run around to test de dirtiness and earth smellingness. But Senora Mommie was mucho unpleased with dis and chased us all out of her box of dirt. I, myself, felt that she was acting very self accommodating. But there was nothing for myself to do but sit back and continue observing et.

Another week passed and no more work progressed on de box of dirt. Yet late one day, everyone in de casa started acting with speed and purpose as they put their body coverings into black boxes. I, myself, have seen dis before, and I, myself, knows that dis is de indication of long absence from de casa and I, myself, realized that et would be up to myself to make sure everything at de casa was taken care of during de absence. I, myself, did not know how long of an absence et would be dis time but deduced from de number or water and food bowls on de floor that et would be for at least some several hours. I, myself, was determined to maintain de safety and sanity of my beloved puta and de little Green Vine while de Mommie, Roberto, and little boy were gone from de casa.

Clean Bill of Health!

2008-03-10T23:54:00.006-04:00

Hello everyone. I wanted to share with you that I have been pronounced to have a clean bill of health!

I was so embarrassed that my previous illness was of such a concern that my new Mommie and Daddy had to take me to the veterinarian to make sure that I was well and that there was not a chance that I might infect little Rudy or Miss Mollee. But I heard new Mommie and Daddy saying it was time for little Rudy and Miss Mollee to go there anyway so that made me feel somewhat better.

The drive in the car was very pleasant. I sat in the front seat and enjoyed the view. I look forward to my veterinarian visits because all the veterinarians I have known have done their best to help me and make me feel better when I was so sick. It was a surprise to see little Rudy and Miss Mollee put up such a fuss when we got there. I must say, I was somewhat taken aback by their lack of cooperation. But then it also gave me a chance to see my new Mommie in her serious role and she made it clear who was pack leader. Although it was humorous to see little Rudy reduced to flipping onto his back and peeing into the air when serious Mommie ordered him to sit and stay, I know it must have been a blow to his pride. I tried to avert my eyes to offer him some dignity. But there was little hope of that for him on this trip.

Miss Mollee scared us all by running into the street! Sometimes I think she just doesn't have any common sense. But again, I saw new Mommie in her serious role and she gathered up all of us and finally got everyone into the office.

We all sat together in a small room and I watched the veterinarian and her helper check out little Rudy. Poor thing, he endured one blow to his dignity after another when the veterinarian checked him for worms. Sadly, that is a necessity and I, for one, detest it but understand why it has to be done. Then it was Miss Mollee's turn and to tell you the truth, I was glad they didn't perform the worm check on her because I just don't think her little sensibilities could withstand it.

After little Rudy and Miss Mollee were finished, it was my turn. I tried to be polite and a good girl as the veterinarian checked me. And I was pleased to hear her pronounce me very healthy. Actually, I was pleased that all three of us were pronounced healthy. And I was so appreciative of the care and concern new Mommie and Daddy showed in their attention to us all. I am so pleased to be here and am trying hard to be part of this new pack.

Have a good evening!

Hey! ... Guess what?? ...

2008-03-10T23:33:00.005-04:00

... we had to go to the doggie sick room and get checked out last week because, like ... we have Ivan now and Mommie and Big Daddy wanted to make sure we were ok, I guess ... 'cause like ... Ivan was sick before and now she's not but they didn't want to take any chances ... I don't know what kind of chances but I know I don't like to go to the doggie sick room 'cause ... like ... last time I went there they made me go sleepy for a long time and when I woke up I felt bad and had a zipper on my tummy ... and like .. it got all itchy and stuff ... and I licked and Mommie was not happy about that ... cause, like, I think it was bad or something ... and then, guess what??!! ... they made me wear a lampshade over my head and stuff ... it was so lame .. and like, the rat ... he made fun of me and all ... and I got so upset that I pee'd on Big Daddy's pillow ... and like, I just wasn't myself for so long ... but like when Mommie and Big Daddy put the ropes on us and put us in the car ... like, we were all excited and stuff ... 'cause riding around is so cool ... but then we went to the doggie sick room ... and I was so scared ... and the rat was muttering to me that they were going to take my toy balls away ... but like, wouldn't they have to come to the house to do that? ... but anyway ... he was all like - you better run while you still can! ... and I was like - why? ... and he was like - because they're after your balls! ... and I was like - what balls? where?? ... and he was like - the ones under your legs! ... and I was like - what?? There are balls under my legs?? ... Cool!! ... and like I wanted to play with them so I was running around trying to find them and stuff ... but that made Mommie very mad and she used the mean voice on me ... and like, I had to be picked up and carried into the doggie sick room ... but anyway, we went into a little room and Mommie put the rat on the table ... and I was like - good! ... and he was like - your turn will come! ... and Ivan and I watched while the doggie sick people were touching all over him ... and then, like - gag me with a bone - they put a stick up his butt and stuff ... EEeewww!! ... and he was like - help me!! ... and I was like - serves you right since you eat so much poop and I told you to stop doing that! ... and he was like - just shut up ... and Ivan and I were laughing ... oh ... and it smelled weird in there ... but then Mommie picked up the rat and left the room ... and when she came back, guess what??!! ... it was my turn! ... and Mommie put me up on the table and stuff ... and the doggie sick people were feeling all over me ... and I was scared ... but like, Mommie kept hugging me and petting me and telling me it would be ok ... and I was just waiting on the poopie stick ... but, guess what??!! ... they didn't do that to me!! ... and when Mommie took me back to the car I made sure to tell the rat that I didn't get the poopie stick ... and he was like - that's not fair! ... and I was like - sucks to be you! ... oh ... and I don't know what happened after that 'cause I took a nap ........

De Tortures Continue ...

2008-03-10T23:12:00.010-04:00

Eet has been at least dos weeks now dat we have been forced to accommodate de Green Vine in our casa. It seems dat dis situation remaining is going to continue because Senora Mommie is looking to be mucho loving of de little vine. I, myself, have not made up myself's opinion. There is mucho to consider before accepting de little vine into de pack.

Although I, myself, am of gracious and bueno welcoming of de little vine, my beloved puta is not so bendable. Working against her favor was dat, due to the inclusion of de little vine into our pack, we all had to go to de Torture Laboratory for bodily inspections. I, myself, was not understanding why we were inspected since we have been here and we have done nothing to alter what we are since our last inspection. But Senior Roberto and Senora Mommie strapped de torture devices onto us and put us in de rolling box and we all went to de Torture Laboratory. I, myself, could smell de vapor of it before arriving. I, myself, was left at de Torture Laboratory one day many years ago and somehow lost my cahones. I, myself, am never wanting to go to dis place. At least dis time, I , myself, was not de only one going.

There was a small commotion outside de Torture Laboratory as my beloved puta, overcome with fear, attempted to escape from her torture devices and gallop back to de casa. Everyone held their breathing as she darted into de road like a speedy gazelle, her beautiful long legs carrying her across de black roadway in between so many rolling boxes. Eventually she returned and Senora Mommie and Senor Roberto were able to herd all of us into de front doors.

We all went into a small, warm room to await de tortures to begin. I, myself, was chosen first as is my rank in de pack. I suffered de ministrations of Senora Mommie and de torture peoples as they felt over myself's body and looked into myself's bodily openings. It was with wounded dignity dat I, myself, endured de poopie probing. It is a mystery to myself what they are attempting to accomplish in de poopie probing. It is so undignified. Once de torture peoples were finished, Senora Mommie quickly carried me back outside to de rolling box and locked me in. I, myself, was relieved to have left de Torture Laboratory with all de bodily parts I had when I, myself, went in there just a few short minutes ago.

I, myself, can only assume dat my beloved puta and de little green vine are going to be tortured also. I, myself, cast blame upon de green vine for bringing dis torture upon us and will be speaking to my beloved puta as to whether or not we should allow de green vine to stay if dis is de kind of treatment her presence requires. Although I, myself, love Senora Mommie and want to stay at de casa, I, myself, will not be allowing any more poopie probing for de sake of de green vine.

Adios

Home at Last ...

2008-03-04T22:38:00.007-05:00

Well I thought I was going outside for a refreshing prance around the back yard when a strange car pulled up the drive way and a family with two small dogs got out and walked over to speak with Foster Mommie Christina. The two dogs were both the same reddish color. I recognized that the smaller dog was one of my own type. I do not know what type of dog the bigger one was, but she seemed pleasant even if she was a little slow. I tried to show them around my yard and be polite. I invited them to sniff around and tinkle on whatever was available. I felt badly that they seemed so fearful and did my best to put them at ease.

Imagine my surprise when Foster Mommie Christina announced that I was going to be adopted by this new family! Oh, what a dream come true! (I was so proud that I was wearing my fashionable new coat and that I looked so very stylish!) I have been wishing so hard for a new family and now my wish was coming true! I was so thrilled that I just jumped right into their car without being invited and I was immediately embarrassed. But the new Mommie settled into the back seat of the car with me, pulled me into her lap, and started petting and kissing me so I knew that all would be forgiven. I could tell that the two other little dogs were still so uncertain (and perhaps a little jealous) about my going home with them. But I've been part of a big pack at the foster home and I know I can make good friends with them if they'll just give me a chance. I am so happy to have my own family ... at last!

Have a good evening everyone.

... a few days ago ... like, Mommie and Big Daddy put the ropes on me and the rat and took us for a ride in the car ... and like, wheeeeee ... I love to ride in the car because it's so awesome and fun ... and then Mommie stopped the car at this house and we all got out ... and guess what??? ... it smelled so great there with all kinds of dog and cat and goat smells and it was so cool ... but like, the rat ... like he was shaking and afraid and kept hiding behind my legs until I got tired of it and I, like, growled at him to get away from me because like ... I wanted to check out the yard and stuff ... oh and guess what??? ... there was another puppy in the yard and like ... I wanted to go up to her and say hello but like I was a little afraid so I stood behind Mommie's legs and watched the little puppy for a while ... and then, like, after the rat stopped panting like he was gonna pass out or something ... I took a step closer to say hello to the little puppy and like ... she was very nice and stuff ... and I got to sniff her special place and I let her sniff mine ... and like she tried to sniff the rat but I told her not to waster her time because, like ... he's a rat and all ... but anyway ... oohh ... guess what???? ... we followed each other around the yard and like ... we took turns pottying on the grass and truck tire and flowers and it was awesome ... cause, like, every time she pottied then I pottied and then she pottied and then I pottied ... it was way cool ... and then the rat had to spoil it all by going around and pottying on all the same things ... he's such a stupid rat ... but then guess what happened??? ... Mommie got into the car with the new little puppy and Big Daddy drove us home and like ... I guess the new little puppy is gonna live with us or something ... and when Mommie said that, the rat started groaning and trying to tell me that I was being replaced ... yeah, right ... but Mommie and Big Daddy wouldn't replace me because I'm so great and all ... but that stupid rat better stop peeing in the house and eating Big Daddy's inside shoes or they might toss him out ... I told him so ... and he said a dirty word back to me about me being a pooty or something and ... well .. whatever ... oh yeah ... and then Mommie said the new little puppy's name was Ivan ... I think ... maybe ... I don't remember 'cause, like, you should have seen how the rat was crawling up Big Daddy's neck trying to get away from it ... but like ... I was really happy that Ivan came to live with us ... I think ... but like ... isn't Ivan a weird name for a little puppy?? ... but I was just glad we got back to the house and the could take the ropes off us .. cause, like ... I wanted to play and stuff!!

A Trip In De Rolling Box

2008-03-04T22:15:00.008-05:00

Et has been uno weeks and uno day since Seniorita Mommie ambushed us with her plan to provide additions to our pack. She and Senior Roberto left in de siesta time and shortly returned to place de puta and me, myself, into our torture devices and load us into de rolling box. We rolled for many momentos until we came to a halt in a yard that was unfamiliar to myself. There were strange and dangerous smells in this yard and I attempted to protect my beloved puta to de best of myself's ability. I, myself, instructed her to stand behind me as I, myself, would protect her from whatever dangers threatened.

At this moment in time I, myself, saw Seniorita Mommie holding a white furry item. She was talking softly to it. She was wiping her hand along it's length. And then she placed it down onto de yard area. I, myself, was not surprised to notice that it was another puta because I, myself, could smell it from de moment we got out of de rolling box and entered de yard area. However, my beloved puta was shaking in terror and I, myself, took a position that would offer her much needed protection as we both watched de white furry puta stalk us.

After much discussion amongst de peoples, we were taken back to the rolling box. At this point I, myself, was very surprised when Seniorita Mommie entered de rolling box with de white furry puta and declared that it's name was Green Vine and that it was going back to de casa with us. My beloved puta and I immediately jumped into de forward area of de rolling box to snuggle together and discuss this new turn of events.

So Pleased to Meet You ...

... my name is Ivy and I am just so pleased to make your acquaintance. I am new to the Harvey Household and am so very pleased to be a part of this family.

About a year ago, as I was walking along and smelling the new spring daffodils, I got lost from my home and spent several days wandering out in the big world. It was a scary time and I just don't know what I would have done if it had not been for my foster mommie, Christina, who took me in and nursed me back to health. I was so fortunate to be able to rely on the kindness of strangers. After this horrid unpleasantness, I was adopted by the Harvey family and came to live here with Mr. Rudy and Miss. Mollee.

I, too, am a Chihuahua. But a lady never reveals her true age, don't you know. But I will allow that I am a young lady who has seen some of the world and am glad to have found myself in the warm and loving home of Miss. Jacque and Mr. Bob. I've only had the pleasure of their company for about a week so this entire arrangement is still new for me. But I am sure that this will be a lovely new home for me and I look forward to blending in with as much grace and composure as possible.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

... like, Hey Everybody!
