Hey doods! About a week ago, dad took me to daycare (as they call it - it's just my favorite place in the world with lots and lots of my friends). When mom said goodbye that morning, she looked sad. I was thinking "what the dood? I know dad's takin' me to my friends!"

Anyway, dad dropped me off and gave my human friends a bag with my food and blanket and treats and yummy oily treats they call EPO?? WTD?

I just ran off to play with friends and had a grand 'ole…

Callie and I spent all of last week in Memphis with my family. While Callie has visited several times before, this was just a special trip. This is where my nephew Benjamin fell in love with Callie. Now Benj and his (fraternal) twin Drew have always loved Callie...they play with her (Callie Tag being the favorite), talk to her, etc, but this trip something just clicked. Benj wanted to be with her all the time. He's always been a dog lover (and at the age of 8…

Wow - what a week it has been! I have been to the North Pole to a place more cold than I have ever been. Mom calls it Michigan, aka Frozen Tundra of the North, and home. I just kept looking for Santa and those elves, I never found them.

I first knew something was up when my mom started making piles of her clothes and stuff and then my stuff. She started putting it all in this big red box that had wheels. I kept pulling stuff back out to chew on so mom moved the box on top of…

I went to see the Santa Claus parade today with my mom and dad, all the little kids were giving letters to Santa and I think we need to do the same. So all of you good little boy and girl doodles it's time to write those letters and tell Santa what you would like for christmas this year. Be sure and tell Santa a little about yourself and your most favorite things. I don't know what I would like besides lots of tennis balls so I am looking for some…

Charlie had her very first Rally trial today. I am very humble and proud of how she did. You know, I started this Rally classes, because of her fear, anxiety and aggressive behavior. All I wanted was for her to build some self- confidence, so that she does not have to act like a maniac. Before we got there, my main concern for her was other dogs and new people, new place, etc..., and her fear & anxiety. So, the first round was pretty messed up. She just could not focus on me, looked…

When Traveler wants to lie down on the bed, he does that doggie getting-ready-for-bed thing, turning round and round, nose down, butting the covers with his head, sometimes pouncing a couple of times on some suspect spot. Then he just sort of drops, and curls. My daughter was watching him do this and said he was ‘stompin’ out the snakes.’ I had to laugh. Not only was that a funny description, it sounded like an even more reasonable explanation for the behavior that just making the bed-place…

Hi guys, hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving.

I've had a great weekend, it has been really, really cold, but still none of that snow stuff. What are "Zoomies"? Do we have them here in the UK? Will I be frightened, do they make a noise?

Mum has taken me for lots of walks this weekend, I saw lots of my friends yesterday and had a great game at the park. I went to the beach as well and found a great ball to play with, mum wouldn't let me take it home though, she put it on the…

Our Murphy always waited for us to go to bed and even if only one of us went to bed, he's stay up and "protect" the awake one. Just recently he started going to bed with the earlier retiring parent and just last week he went to bed all by himself, leaving both of us up and watching TV. We had to go look for him!!!

Makes me wonder what changes to cause this? He has done it once before but he got up when he realized we weren't going to join him anytime soon, so I don't think it's the…

I have been waiting anxiously for the pumpkin season to resume due to the shortages we all felt last year. I guess I have never been so aware of pumpkin in the stores as I have over this past year. It always seemed readily available whenever I needed it for the holidays, and otherwise,I never gave it any thought.

I don't even know if pumpkin is carried in the stores year round! Never noticed! So with the shortage of 2010 fresh in my mind, and the memories of going store to…
