Let's pause now for a commercial .....

You know how your peepol shop after Christmas for those things they really wanted but didn't get? Did you get stuff for Christmas that you didn't want? Or were you like me and didn't get anything for Christmas? (I did at least get a cookie ... thank you Hershey.) Peepol buy clothes. I personally dislike clothes but I do wear a collar.

If you have been wanting a new collar, please allow me to recommend one. The Keep Safe Breakaway Collar is the collar I wear. It has a patented safety buckle that prevents me from getting strangled in an accident ..... like when Hershey and I wrestle. If I was to get the collar caught on something, the collar would come apart at the special buckle and come off my neck and I would not get hurt. When I go on a walk, Mom fastens the leash to the two D rings on the collar and then the collar will not come apart. I like the black one because it matches my fur. This picture shows the two rings for the leash.

On the collar, I wear a tag made by Boomerang Tags. Mine is the Adjustable Collar Tag. It slips on the collar so that there is nothing hanging off to jingle and make noise or catch on anything. It has my name on it and my address and Mom and Dad's phone number. I don't wear my rabies tag but Mom keeps it in a special place to show someone if she needs to.

The reason why Mom bought me this collar and tag is because she knew a dog that was killed once when a collar like this would have saved him. It was sad. My big sister Holly used to get her collar caught on a quilt all the time. One time she chewed her own collar off to escape. Mom was busy raising kids at the time and didn't know what to do but when I came along Mom searched on the internet and found this collar. I have had the one I wear for over three years.

Here you can see the whole thing. So, if you didn't get what you want for Christmas, go shopping and order yourself one. Use your Mom's charge card. It's in her purse.

A unique car ride .......

I live in Augusta, Georgia and tonight my Mom and Dad took me on a car ride downtown to see the statue of James Brown. He is from Augusta and as you probably know, he died on Christmas Day. There is a statue of him on Broad Street, one of the main streets downtown, not far from a street named after him. There were perhaps 40 people of every race around the statue, taking pictures and leaving flowers and candles. Someone had draped an American flag around the statue. Everyone was very polite and quiet and somber. There is a public funeral tomorrow at the Civic Center which was recently re-named the James Brown Arena.

Here I am on my car ride. I love care rides!


See there were a lot of people around the statue.


People have left a lot of things at the base of the statue. This lady was writing on the flag.

The statue.


This is the Imperial Theatre, an old theatre down the street.

They had posted this as a tribute.

These picture was taken at the Civic Center.

Look what I found Isabella ...

Isabella, I found some beautiful engagement collars. I think pink would be nice for Valentine's Day, don't you?

My Christmas present and Hershey's imaginary MONSTERS .....

I thought I would show you my Christmas present. While the rest of you got lots of squeaky toys and chew bones and Mammoth bones and engagement collar/toilet paper ...... Fufu really made out .... this is all I got. Hershey brought me a cookie with my name on it. He got one for him too. They are dipped in carob ... not real chocolate.

It was yummy and I ate mine real fast and then tried to get Hershey's away from him because he was taking waaaaayyyyy too long to eat it. My Mom did not get me anything ............she didn't even buy a present for me to give Hershey! ... a consequence of the last minute funeral and company she had. She feels bad and promised to make it up to us ... I think. I don't care. I have plenty of toys and as long as I have her, that's all that matters.

Hershey is still here but his Mom and Dad have left and so he is super duper NERVOUS! We have to bark at everything!!!! I am really tired of barking and have tried to get him to calm down and relax. I keep telling him I have everything under control and we are safe here with my Mom but he is sure he hears monsters. Gheesh! I sure like having him here though. He is great company. I wish he didn't live in Virginia!

"Hershey, look ... see there NO monsters! .... REALLY!"

My trip to Florida ....

Last week when I was in Florida for my Granddaddy's funeral, I took these pictures for you. This is me on the porch of my other Grandaddy's house. They call it a lanai. It is a screened in porch and I think if I lived there, I might get to like it a lot. I did not want to be out there by myself and my Mom was a little nervous letting me stay out there by myself. She thinks I might tear a hole in the screen if I really wanted to get out in the yard. If I can chew a hole in a plastic kennel, this screen would not stop me I don't think.

One night Mom took me for a walk down the street. I met a new girl puppy named Samantha. She was wiggley.

I saw this sign and took a picture of it for Zach. He lives at the North Pole. I wonder if his house is near my Grandaddy's house? I don't think so because I did not see any Mammoth bones or caribou or snow on my walk.

They do not have snow in Florida. This is the only kind of snow they have in Flordia.


They do have a lot of birds in Florida. These birds are always at my Grandady's house at the little pond in his back yard. I wonder if they are having a meeting or what?

This bird also lives in my Grandaddy's back yard. He isn't real though.

I like going to my Grandaddy's house. I like him a lot. I am working hard to take care of my Mom and my Dad right now. They are both pretty sad. Losing family is hard. I hope you are all patient with me until my Mom and Dad get back on thier feet again.

What is wrong with this picture?

Hey dog friends. Is it just me or do any of you see anything wrong with this picture? I saw this product advertized in a circular that came to my house today and I just had to show you all. It cracked me up.

1. What cat would need a small door at the bottom of the gate? All the cats I know would just just OVER the gate.

2. Why does the cat get to go through the gate anyway when the beautiful dog doesn't???? It's not fair.
