My Mom is a dunce ...

Mom found this quiz about dogs on the internet. I am embarrassed to tell you what her score was. (4 out of 12)

How smart is your secretary?

Oh brother ... 4 out of 12!

Wildlife issues ....

Hershey and I have had lots of wildlife issues here at my house the last couple of days. They have nothing to do with Hershey being here, of course ..... it's all just a co-incidence.

First there was the orphaned baby raccoon. Miss Cindy took it to someone who was certified in wildlife rehabilitation and they will care for it and put it back in the wild. I guess that works?

Then, yesterday a very large and dense, well made robin's nest just fell out of a tree in the middle of the afternoon in my front yard. (Hershey and I think an evil squirrel knocked it out.) Hershey and I don't snack on baby bird snacks because we know it will gross our mothers out .......... and besides we were inside the house at the time. (We DID bark!) There were three newly hatched baby robins inside the nest. Two out of the three survived the fall from the tree. Unfortunately, there was no way to put the nest back in the tree and the remaining two babies died in the night. When my Dad took the nest to the trash can this morning to throw it away, he found a turtle trying to cross the street. He picked the turtle up and put him in the woods. Mom thinks it is the same turtle that she rescued the other day from crossing the street. (Maybe he is suicidal.)

I don't have a picture of the bird's nest but I do have pictures of the suicidal turtle. What is wrong with my wildlife?

This end smells wierd Mom.

Look what WE found!!!

I have the coolest neighbor EVER!!!! Miss Cindy is my neighbor and she is the coolest friend a dog ever had! She is a vet and today she brought me a BABY RACCOON! She brought it right to my house and let me smell it! Yeah, I know ... she rocks.

The baby raccoon (about 5 weeks) was orphaned and she was taking him to someone who would babysit him till he grew bigger and could go live in the woods again. He smelled so cool! Hershey and I barked and barked at him. Here are some more pictures of him and even a VIDEO!!! Yeah, my first video! Hershey's Mom showed me how to post a video.

Hershey is still here. We both got our feet trimmed tonight. It was AWFUL!!! Hershey HATES it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He got lots and lots of treats to try to bribe him to be good but he hates it. He has more hair on his feet them I do and whenever he comes to visit my Mom trims his feet. We both look very handsome right now and I would show you a picture but we are too tired from barking to take a picture.

I barked and barked at Nixon tonight because he went in my Mom's closet. I decided that he is not supposed to go in there so I barked at him and told him to get out. It didn't work and Mom made me stop. Shucks.

She tastes good ....

Well, I finally got my Mother to help me blog. That little thing that Hershey brought is taking up a lot of her attention. The baby tastes really good, especially if get to lick her right on the mouth, and she smells really good. I managed to get this snif in today while she was in her car seat. Mom does not like it if I lick her.

I really tried to drag this blanket away from her but Mom wouldn't let me. She also has some toys I have my eye on but so far I am staying clear of them for fear I will get in trouble.

Hershey and I took a nap today. We are pretty tired from chasing each other and barking. Hershey slept on his Mom right next to the baby. We have been barking so much, I think he got a sore throat. Plus, I think the baby keeps him awake at night. She certianly woke me up last night.

It is too bad my Mom didn't get a picture of the big fat slug. One got stuck in Hershey's fur when he rolled on it out in the grass! Man he really scored with that one but nobody was impressed! He is the master of rolling on stuff ... he does a way better job than I do!

Miss Cindy came to see me today. Well, I think she actually came to see the baby but I did get to see her a little. She said it was ok that Mom gave me my heart worm pill too early. She held the baby and paid less attention to me than ever. I'll forgive her I think.

This picture is for the Dachsies. The baby's great grandfather was holding her and he went to Texas A&M. Their Mom understands what that means. Granddaddy came here just to see her.

I'll try to write tomorrow. I need to go to bed, I am tired!

Hershey is here!!!

Friends, Hershey DID come to see me!!!! He got here today and we have been too busy running round chasing each other to take any pictures. We'll post some tomorrow. He brought Nixon and something else that's little. I haven't had much time to pay attention to it yet. It smells different and I get in trouble if I lick it.

I am sorry I did not post this week. My Mother has been to busy to help me blog. How can she be that busy?

Cats I don't know ...... and a cat I do know ....

Today's blog is about some cat friends I don't know. Mari and Tabitha are two cats that are technically part of my family but I don't know them very well. They belong to the boy, that used to live here when he was a boy, but who is not a boy anymore. He has a wife and two cats named Mari and Tabitha. I met Mari once and in fact I liked to play with her a lot. She lived here for a short time. I have never met Tabitha. This is Tabitha.

Mari and Tabitha both had rocky beginnings as unfortunate street urchins. They now live lives of luxury inside a comfortable house with sunny windows and deep cushions, regular food and people that love them dearly. Tabitha and Mari live far far away, even further away than Hershey lives. I never get to go visit them. Maybe someday I will. I'm not sure they would want me to come visit them though because I don't think they know anything at all about dogs. This is Mari.

Speaking of Hershey, my Mother has not mentioned anything about it but Hershey commented in my blog that he was coming to visit me. My Mother never tells me if he is coming because she says I get all hyper and look for him 24/7. In all honesty, she does tell me sometimes that he is coming, but not until a couple minutes before he is due to arrive which isn't much fun. But he himself told me in my blog, so maybe he IS coming? When he comes, he usually brings that cat friend of his named Nixon. Now, I KNOW Nixon! I know him really well ... well as well as a cat lets you know them. This is Nixon.

So, stay tuned and see if Hershey comes to see me.
