Overload

I watched my human today, the good, the bad and the ugly. I am talking about life. It is a good thing she is healthy and balanced so she can go with the flow. It reminded me to tell you humans that is why you should create a dog who is healthy and balanced. That way we can go with the flow too. Your not the only one life gets to. So if I don't handle my day the way you like, give me more direction so next time I will have more at my disposal to rely on!

The Dog.

Dog Park Fast

Today I was a lightening bolt at dog park, I was Dog park fast like I have never been before! Sometimes it's healthy to do something out of character!!!

Crazy Em!

The Laws of Attraction

Yes, I know it is a whole line of spiritual belief and I am not hear to discuss religion or politics. But I have a funny story.

In the car I overheard my humans speaking. Dad said something and Mom told him not to think so negatively. His response was, "yeah, well every time I do something bad does happen."

She said nothing, do you see why she titled this post the way she did?!.

I attract great things in my life, but then again I feel I am a great dog! That is one of the whole and simple trick to life. Being proud and going out into the world with self confidences and a positive feeling and bring home only that which you have choosen. I only choose peace, love and possitive thoughts.

No excuses

Today Mom forgot to show up somewhere. Doesn't matter what she says, even if it is legate. She wasn't where she was suppose to be and that is that. No excuses.

If your dog pees on the carpet, he peed on the carpet. Doesn't matter why or your roll in it. A "p" is a "p"!

So I too didn't show up somewhere today, no excuse, I wasn't there.

You have to take the good with the "oh my gosh I feel like a monkey".

So says I.

Blessing of the Animals

Today I attended Douglas Cook's Blessing of the Animals. He is a Catholic Monsignor. A short note on blessings, be you human or from the animal kingdom.

Don't spend your time or avoidance because you are not Catholic, or dismiss someone because you are not Buddisht, nor roll your eyes because you are not another religion or belief. Look at what they all have in common. They at least all believe that their is someone higher then themselves.

And in not quibbling I got an extra blessing! See I am not Catholic. Though that doesn't matter. You can never have too many blessings. And it came to me from the heart of another. And that is the most important thing.

Maybe we are all trying to get to the peak of the same mountain. And we are all just taking a different path up...

Leaving without me?!.

When I was young my Humans Mother told her to leave me at home once in awhile so I knew what it was like to be alone. Neither one of us understood that then but now we do. It is a good suggestion if you take your dog EVERYWHERE with you. You don't want to create separation anxiety on purpose. You NEVER know what life brings.

I am lucky my human truly CAN take me everywhere. I am a service dog so I have special permissions. But I have to say when she leaves me on purpose I am the saddest looking dog you have ever seen. I know she does that so I don't become neurotic but truly I ask, is it necessary. Please don't leave me alone.

A year ago my human got sick. Not sick take me to the hospital and make her better. Sick, OMG I hope she doesn't die sick, no one though about taking me. I spent hours alone at home so worried, so worried. Had I already had these separate experience I probably would have just though I was in for some good nap time. So if you won't do it for yourself, do it for me, or for your dog. Just in case something happens you leave me, with a healthy state of mind.

As for me, it's too late. Today I trotted down the sidewalk as she drove away. And she stopped and opened the car door and let me in. I went to the place that does your nails, not petco the nail salon. I could have stayed home but... I want to, I have to be with her. This store may sound cute, precious and adorable but if you are creating a me at home you may want to take another look at what your doing. I am asking you to be aware. For our sake, not yours. And after all that is what you humans say that matter.

Just something to think about.

Midnight Ramble

Take into consideration my behavioral patterns and then work around them to suit your human needs.

See I have a friend whose dog gets up in the middle of the night and eats things, like the couch! But she doesn't think about him when she goes to sleep. She keeps him on a short leash all day and then when she sees me nodded out, she goes to bed herself. Three hours later he's up and having sofa snack. People, you can watch me in the day time but your proverbial short leash on me at night, if these are your issues, consider the behavioral patterns.

Considered the nature, cats are nocturnal. My sister Sam, a Siamese, is up all hours of the night cruising the house, batting her stuff mouse around, eating cat food and being mouthy. Now you wouldn't expect this furry bundle of joy to sleep all night would you?

I am a good dog. I do not eat anything that isn't mine. I do not play with my humans things. I take myself outside to potty. I am a good dog. But I am also a Lucky Dog! You see my human Dad has worked a lot a night during his life, so his nature is to be up at all hours. So in my house, me, Dad and Sam do this little thing we like to call, The Midnight Ramble! We all sneak out of the bedroom and go into the living room together and we play indoor games and we all get belly rubs and we have cheese snacks and watch TV together. DON"T TELL MOM, but one time we were all on the same couch! We all get it out of our system and we all go back to bed where we will find Mom sound asleep.

So if it is your animals nature or behavior to be a night owl, wake up with, or provide for or set boundaries during those hours. Don't wake up and yell at him just because he eat the couch. You sort of let him, by doing nothing. I guess I am feeling sorry for my friend who eat the couch. He was just being himself. We are not perfect or human and you must be guiding us every minute if you want a perfect dog, even the minutes you are asleep.

Not everyone is lucky enough to Ramble!
