My New Best Friend

Christmas brought me the best present ever...a new friend.  Well, technically, she isn't new, she's six years old already and we have met before.  The last time Ella came to visit, she was a lot smaller and I was a lot, well, rougher and crazier.  This time was different.  She is bigger and I was better behaved!  Win-Win

We were very respectful of one another.  I didn't jump on her and she didn't bother me when I was sleeping.  After my mama explained that I don't care much for hugs, she didn't even hug me any more.  That's my kind of friend!

She went for a walk with me and my papa and the best thing of all...she brought me presents.  Can you believe it?  Presents just for me.  First of all she gave me a huge rawhide candy cane, which my papa says I have to take to Floor-i-duh.  She also brought me an awesome tug toy!  It has a ball on a rope and I love it!

 

 

 

I love it more than I love most of the toys my mama buys for me.  I hope Ella doesn't find out but I love it so much, I already chewed the ball off the rope.  No worries, I still love it!

I'm looking forward to visiting with my new BFF when we come home in the spring.

Merry Christmas to One and All

Am I the only one taking a silly Christmas photo with my family? 

My Uncle Greg says you know it's a good photo when even the dog looks good.  Well, duh...of course I look good, was there any doubt?  My papa, on the other hand, kind of looks like a pirate.  Ahoy, Matey!

Then there's my Uncle Dan, he's just goofy...

Every family has one...

Coffee Run

My mama is add-ick-ted to McDonald's iced coffee.  I think it's because it only costs one dollar and she thinks that's a great deal.  She buys one for her and for my papa every day and when she makes a special trip, I get to ride along.  (If you add in the cost of gas, it's a lot more than a dollar but I'm not going to be the one to tell her.)

I love riding shotgun and I take my job very seriously!

Always keep your eyes on the road.

I check for oncoming traffic.

"You're good on this side."

And I look especially handsome when we get to the window.

What do you mean you don't have doggie treats? 

How is it possible that they have a drive-up window but they don't have any treats?  What kind of fake place is this anyway?

PUPPIES!

Finally, after waiting the whole summer, we have foster puppies. 

Getting to know you...getting to know all about you...

They are tiny and cute and they smell like poop!

They are 8 week old pit bull puppies that traveled here from one of the southern states that I can't remember.

This is the little girl puppy...ReRe

and this is the little boy puppy...Rollie

One of the first things that happens to foster puppies here is the spa.  They always get a nice bath and a nail trim so they smell better.

My mama and papa love the smell of puppies, especially when they don't smell like poop any more!

They are so small they kind of scare me, especially when they sneak up from behind and smell my junk!  They also have very sharp teeth - good grief.

It's been so cold, we haven't gotten to play outside very much but they have lots of room in the nice, warm cellar and they get lots of play time with my mama and papa. 

They found a funny ball but they really have no idea what to do with it.  I could show them but I don't play with balls, so they are on their own.

 

They are shameless beggars.

"Hey, Foster Lady...I could use some lovin'"

Puppies play a lot but only for short periods of time, then they get really sleepy and take a nap.  That's when I get the people all to myself!  Sweet dreams puppies.

Today is Pit Bull Awareness Day

October is an awesome month!  Not only is it Pit Bull Awareness Month and Adopt a Shelter/Rescue Dog Month BUT there is one special day for Pit Bull dogs like me AND...IT'S TODAY!!!  It doesn't get any better than that!

My mama likes to say "if everything you know about pit bulls only comes from main stream media...then you know nothing about pit bulls!"  

Do yourself a favor and visit your local shelter, meet one/some pit bull dogs and make up your own mind.  You might be surprised and find your new best friend.

Pit Bulls Rock!  Here's a few of the photos my mama made for my FB page. (now her app isn't working).

I Know You're There

My mama LOVES taking my picture...I HATE it when my mama takes my picture.

Yeah, I know you're there

No, I'm not gonna look at the camera

Ahhh, the sun makes my furs shine! (I'm still not gonna look at the camera)

Waiting, Waiting...

As my mama dangles my favorite outside toy in front of me, I'm working hard on my impulse control. 

I want to jump up and take it off her finger...uh uh

But instead I sit "easy" and wait for the okay...good, good  Music to my ears.

Now give me the darn toy!

Strut Your Mutt 2014

Today was my fourth time strutting my stuff to raise money for sick and injured animals that find their way to the Animal Welfare Society.  For a dog like me that gets nervous around other dogs, the Strut isn't easy.  (It's even harder on my mama, she's always a nervous ninny wreck.)  However, I did better this year than any previous year.  I never yodeled, not even once.  My mama and papa raised $135 toward The Fixers total of more than $2000.  

It was a beautiful day!

UGH!  This doesn't exactly fit in the neighborhood, nothing New England coast about it.

Wonder what the neighbors think of this ugly mess

Lots of dogs and people, which is why we never get on the beach

Wicked nice sunflower

Voted "The Coolest Dog" by the Poop Patrol

The only view my mama gets...
