Oh yeah, and if an item is “already taken,” do not let that discourage you.. I do not mind duplicates!

Happy Shopping!
I should have done this on Thursday, but that turkey dinner had me snoozin’. So now here are some things I am thankful for, in no particular order: breakfast, root beer, my new BIG bed, cookies, my ball, my allowance, GREENIES!, long walks, longer naps, dinner, my window seat, cookies (did I mention that already?), road trips, my hedgehog, shopping, snow, birthday cakes, my family, thanksgiving dinner, and oh yeah, cookies!
Let me start by saying this.. subtlety has never been my strong suit, and hey life is short, why not let everyone know what you want and when you want it. Having said that, let me tell you about my new bed, the most comfortable spot on the planet. As a professional napper, I know comfort! I already had about half a dozen beds just for me: including a collapsible cabana bed, a big pocket bed made of two full size pillows and a super soft baby blanket, and a custom made painted bed with my name on it, oh yeah and that one is heated. But this new one, the mother of all beds, is possibly my greatest acquisition to date. I spotted it while on a business trip to Colorado Springs for the grand opening of Wag n’ Wash’s new retail store. The owners, Dan & Jeff are new friends of mine and they threw a great party. Lots of free fresh baked snacks and even a free session with a pet massage therapist. Then while I was shopping around I spotted the bed – big, beautiful and oh so puffy. So my next move was obvious. I hopped up on the bed, fortunately it was on the bottom shelf, and started making myself at home. People watching were fawning over me, “Oh, look how cute she is, she’s going to take a nap.” But they soon realized I had a different agenda entirely, “Uh oh, she’s peeing!” My mortified mother picked me up quickly but it was too late, I had already made my mark, claimed my territory. You see, I knew no amount of begging was going to get me that bed and I wanted it. My family instantly began apologizing and of course offered to buy the bed, which I knew they would. Dan told them that it was unnecessary, this worried me for a minute. But they explained that I would be paying for the bed out of my own money because that’s what my allowance had originally was established for. Okay, I hadn’t considered I would be paying for it myself, but I didn’t care it was worth it. Besides, I got a discount since it was damaged and all. My family spent the day trying to analyze this unprecedented behavior, while Dan suggested that Jeff hold me over other things I might want. Everybody else got it.. I did not 
have an accident, and I was not misbehaving. I was shopping! But in case you’re wondering why I couldn’t just let my mom know I wanted her to buy the bed, it wasnt just because it was too expensive, even though it was originally about $110, there was another issue. Here’s a picture that explains:
(maybe you can’t tell from this picture but it’s a little huge.)
So you see, you have to let people know what you want. Carpe Diem (or should I say Carpe Pee-em)! That’s what I did and now I finally have a bed worthy of me.
Happy Halloween everybody! But I really don’t know what’s so special about Halloween..
I always do Tricks to get Treats!
Daylight Savings Time is a scam! You can reset your clocks if you want to, but it won’t make your days shorter now and longer later, it’s all psychological. And you can’t reset me – I know when it’s dinner time! And I think it is completely un-American to make me wait a whole extra hour! So I say it’s time to Fall back to reality folks, I’m hungry!
I love fall.
The weather is nice so I get to take long walks, which means I get to take long naps too.
Plus, all those vermin I love to chase are getting fatter and slower.
Besides frolicking in the folliage is fun!
My second career as a professional model has been keeping me quite busy lately. Locally I was featured in the “Rocky Mountain News,” and will soon be seen in the Holiday issue of “Dogs and Cats Colorado Style.” Nationally you’ll find my work in “The Bark” magazine – a high quality publication for high quality canines and their people, I highly recommend you pick up a copy. (If it’s not available in your local bookstore visit TheBark.com) You see I am the official/unpaid model for popartpet, check out that site and you’ll see me everywhere.
So, for your viewing pleasure, I thought I’d share a couple of proofs from my recent professional photo shoot. (photos taken by Xan Rubey of Doghouse Studios) But please..
Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful!
I’ve been very busy lately. I’ve done lots of shopping, a little working, had a professional photo shoot, and today I went for a nice long hike. It was cool – literally cool, autumn in Colorado is quite nice. So on this beautiful day we headed down a long trail. I ran and ran across an open field, rested by a lovely little stream then jumped right in! And of course no off-road adventure is complete without a little hunting. But those darn, subversive prairie dogs! I dug for ’em and everything but came up empty. Oh well, I’ll get ’em next time!
Anyway, you can see the highlights of my adventure for yourself – just click here.
I was really fun being like a real Colorado dog getting wet and dirty. Then it was straight home and into the tub (Mom really knows how to spoil my fun).
I made an exciting new discovery today. We went for a walk in my new neighborhood, where I have seen no bunnies and no ground hogs. In fact I have only seen one squirrel, a couple of cats (domestic ones) and lots of birds, nothing exciting. But today we went further down the trail that runs behind my neighborhood than we ever have before. I started to hear this familiar squeaking sound.. “squeak, squeak, squeak.” It sounded exactly like my toys at home. I looked around and not three feet away was a this little furry head peeking out of a big hole.. “squeak, squeak, squeak.” He was making that noise right at me! Who is this little punk? I took one step in his direction and he disappeared down the hole. I sniffed, and sniffed, but mom wouldn’t let me stick my head in there. Then I heard more squeaking, and it was coming from everywhere! So then I took a really good look around.. Prairie Dogs! Hundreds of them! It was a virtual Town full of Prairie Dogs! Running from mound to mound, standing up and looking at me, wagging their stupid stubby little tails, and squeak, squeak, squeaking at me. My mom said they were warning each other to look out for me. Which is pretty smart of them since I could have them for breakfast if it wasn’t for that darn leash. She didn’t let me stay long, but I told them.. I’ll be back!
