Finally!

OK, Foley finally got his act together! You can read him at Foley's Foibles: Big Adventures of a Little Dog

Now, I can return to my previously scheduled programing. Yippy!

Stay Tuned!

The brat - err, I mean Foley - is settling in. He's fun to play with, but I don't like him taking my attention!

Foley has started working on his blog. It will be up soon! Then, I can get back to my normal adventures!

Meet Foley


This is my new baby brother! His name is Foley and he is kinda fun. He would be more fun if he would stop taking my toys, but Mom says I have to learn to share. Not fair! Maybe, if he is enough fun, I will learn to be OK with it. But, he better stay away from my food bowl! I do not share that! Well, ok, I guess if someone (like a certain fat cat) tries to take it, I will let them have it - but I won't be happy about it!

Big Dagan lying next to little FoleySo, Mom asked me to help Foley come up with a name for his blog. I am not sure that we want to stick with the alliteration theme Mom's dogs have going, or we want to branch out to something new. We've discussed everything from "Foley's Frolics" to "The Big Adventures of Little Foley" or "The Big Adventures of a Little Puppy."

What are your thoughts? I need your help!

No Strings Attached!

I am one of "those" dogs!! And, I couldn't be happier! We live close to the beach. One of the only dog beaches around. But, growing up, every time we went to the beach, I would watch the other dogs run all over the place, while I was stuck on the flexi leash. 26 "feet of fun" (as *someone* calls the flexi around here) is not all that much fun. Of course, it is plenty when you don't know any different, but I NOW KNOW DIFFERENT!!! SO much fun to be free to run where ever it is that I want to go! Did you know "those" dogs get to chase things too? Like sticks?? YES! So fabulous! Here I am running. (And my knees didn't even hurt after!)




I have been twice so far and can't wait to go back!

Home Alone! Home Alone!

What's a boy to do?? I'm kinda bummed. Mom and Dad took off and told me to take a nap, cause they don't expect to be home til late. What to doo? What to do?

Since I have the pawtop booted, I am thinking of doing some online shopping, then maybe finding some poodles to laugh at (seriously?? Who made those things??) Then, a nap on the couch (without the ok for napping blanket) and, ending my night with cuddling into the down comforter on the bed (after chasing those stinkin' cats away. I was going to sneak a snack from their box, but my head is too big. Bummer!)

Wish me luck (and if you see my Mom, tell her to stop worrying!)

Best Night Ever!!

Looking at my tags, I can't believe I have never brought up Katra! (Or maybe I have, but didn't tag her??). Anyway! Katra is my bestie. She is a little younger than me, but SO much fun! She is a yellow cross and is a PIT for CCI. Her rules are different than mine were as a PIT, so we have always followed my (more strict) rules when together. But, I have recently have chucked many of my rules (I even cleaned up a shredded cheese spill OFF THE FLOOR this morning! Can you believe it???)

So, last night, all my parents and Katra's parents were at their Life Groups at church. Normally, I go to such things (some changes aren't so great). Katra's mom invited me over for a playdate! UNSUPERVISED!! Holy smokes! I never expected that! One minute they were in the house with us, then we rounded the corner and they were gone! I thought something may be up because a couch had been pushed between us and the fish tank (*someone* almost had an accident with said fish tank recently when rounding a certain corner with a leg in someone else's mouth...). But, after recent events, I didn't think too much of it.

But, they left! Slipped out while we were checking out the pantry. Just walked away and locked us in! I was shocked! So, we did what any self respecting young labs would do: we played NON-STOP! We played tug with the rope, we chewed on each other, we wrestled. We didn't even notice when the peeps drove up and were watching us romp through the big picture window.

I just about dropped dead when I hit the car to go home. I slept fabulously!

Best. Night. EVER!

Pondering Behavior Offering

Mom and I are having some confusion! We spent some time learning what the click of the clicker meant this week (same thing as Nice to you GDB pups). I get that! But, Mom is a bit confused. I stand on a mat and wait for her to click. But it doesn't happen. I sit, she clicks, I eat. But then nothing. I tried downing like I am supposed to in Go To Bed, but nothing, I try downing with my hip under me. Nada! I try sitting again. Click! Treat! Yum! But that's it.

I think Mom forgot how we play that game. Can someone please reinforce what I taught her previously please?? I just don't know what to do with her.

Thanks much!
