Happy "Fur"th of July!

Happy Birfday, America! "Land of the free noms, home of the brave nom hunters"

To celebrate America's birfday, I'm playing the "Fourth of July Name Game," which I saw on Samantha's bloggie.



To play, I has to tell you how I gots my name!

Aktually, it's not all that interesting. My mommy and daddy getted me from a guy who didn't take care of me very well. When they bought his house, they 'dopted me. Since eberybuddy in the neighborhood alreddy knew who I wuz, they decided to keep my name.

OK, Reese's turn.

Hi! I'm Reese! It's my very first turn "guest blogging"! When I was brought into the shelter in New Jersey, they named me Reese because I was dark and light shades of brown, and they thought I looked like a smooshed-up Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. OK, Carl's turn!

Hi I'm Carl nice to meet you the people at the shelter named me Carl when I was turned in as a stray and that's it K bye!

I haz good news!

Mommee jus' told me that I get to play wif my cuzin on Caturday! My cuzin is a black lab named Dakota. His mommee is havin' a partee on Caturday for Dakota's human brother, so I gets to go wif Mommee to play with Dakota!

This is a picture of me an' Dakota playin' last year.

SNOW!!!!

It's SNOWING!!!!! My favorite thing! Daddee is gettin a new pikshur-taker for Crismas, so he can't take pikshurs of me in the snow rite now. So I'm postin pikshurs of me in the snow from last year.

I likes to catch snowflakes.

I likes to eat the snow.

My crazy sister likes to make snow angels:

An, my mommee posted a movie of me on YouTube!

Here's ma pikshur!

Oh, yeah, Reese's in it, too.

My foster brudder

Mommy says that tomorrow, my foster brudder, Sirius, is going to go meet another doggie. Apparently, some guy wants to take Sirius to live with him, and this doggie belongs to that guy's brudder. If Sirius goes to live with this guy, he'd spend a lot of time with that other doggie.

I will be sad if Sirius goes to live with that guy. He's been living with us for a long time - four months! We wrestle and we cuddle together. I'll still have Reese, but she's smaller and doesn't like to play as much as Sirius does.

That's me on the right, the little white doggie. Sirius is the black doggie. And the bald guy is Daddy.

I'm a Con- . . . a Contest- . . . Vote for Me.

Mommy entered me in the Cutest Dog Contest. And why wouldn't she? I'm adorable! All these ladies said so last night!

She had to send the contest people a picture of me, and she couldn't even decide which one to send!

But here it is:

And here's the link to vote for me:

Cutest Dog Contest - Owen

The grand prize is a million dollars. Do you know how many hot dogs that buys?!?

Poor Excuse for a Swimming Pool

It's HOT today. So, Mommy asked Daddy to fill up the pool. I had no idea what she was talking about. What's a pool?



About ten minutes later, Daddy came back inside and put leashes on all of us. The whole family went out front.



There was this round, blue thing filled with water. I got in it, but it wasn't the same as the lake. The water barely reached halfway up my leg! How am I supposed to do somersaults in this little bit of water?



I noticed that there looked like there was something under the water. I stuck my nose under to smell it, but ended up just inhaling water. Turns out, it was fish painted on the bottom of this thing. Who does that??

Sirius came into the pool, too, but Reese wanted nothing to do with it. Which was weird, 'cuz last time, she ran into the lake even before I did! So, Mommy put her back inside, and she watched us from the windowsill.

Eventually, Sirius was more interested in barking at the mailman, and Daddy took him inside, too.

I stayed out there a bit, but I was more interested in eating the grass than "swimming." Can't swim in that thing.
