OUT OF THE DOG HOUSE

Life is good again.

Miss Honey is almost back to normal. She ignored me for a couple of days. But I was persistent in making up to her, and gave her kisses every chance I got.

She wagged her tail, too. That's when I knew she was going to forgive me. Made me happy.

On another note, those birds are driving me nuts! They are so twitterpated!

Every time I go outside, they are making such a racket with their chattering. I bark at them, but they just ignore me.

The birds are up in the little trees above the fence. I try to climb up on the fence, but I just can't stretch high enough to reach those silly critters.

Aaaaaaaaa!

Any advice?

TROUBLE AND RESTITUTION

Don't know what came over me today. I got into "primitive" mode and really gave Honey the dickens. She's my older adopted sister.

Honey and I were outside. We got to fighting over something we found. She growled at me. Then, I got carried away. Ugh.

I didn't mean to get aggressive. But I had Honey pinned to the ground when Mama caught me. Then, Daddy came blowing out of the house and yelled at me. Not exactly "The Loved Dog" method for dealing with the problem

When I came to my senses, I felt so ashamed. I usually manage to behave pretty well, but I was being really bad at the time.

Poor Honey ended up with a bite on her head. She's not talking to me right now. Mama and Daddy aren't being all that friendly with me, either.

I'm really sorry I hurt Honey. I'll have to think up some way to make it up to her. And get on Mama and Daddy's good side, too.

And I promised myself to be better.
Live and learn, and all that.

Here's a picture of Honey.

Have you ever been in trouble?
What did you do?

Do you have any suggestions for how I can get back in everyone's good graces? (Leave me a message -- just click on comments.) Thanks!

POOL FUN

Boy, oh boy, are we going to have fun now! We just got a brand new pool!

I don't understand why Mama calls it a "baby pool." Maybe because she calls us "babies."

We had a pool when I was younger. Mama and Daddy gave us baths in the old "baby pool." Sometimes, I even got into it when it wasn't bath time. But, only when nobody was looking. I didn't want to get caught!

Then, one day the pool was gone. I'm glad we got another one.

Here we are with our new pool.







Kia and I are waiting for Mama
to fill it up with water from the
hose pipe. And I'm figuring on
how to catch that water.




The only trouble is, every time I try to catch it, that water catches
me!












Well, it's time to go play in the water again. More later.

A GOOD PRESENT?

I just had a great idea for what to get Mama for Mother's Day -- a copy of Tamar Geller's book, The Loved Dog: The Playful, Nonaggressive Way to Teach Your Dog Good Behavior. Everybody says it's really good, and full of humor, too. Mama's going to love it!

One day last week, Tamar Geller was on Oprah's show about dogs. She showed how she trains dogs the loving way. She even showed how she got Oprah to teach her dogs good manners, such as not jumping up on people. But she does it in a way that everybody is happy, even the humans! Oprah's three Golden Retrievers seemed really happy, too. Just like me!

The only thing is, if I get Mama that book, she'll expect me to start showing better manners all the time. Oh, well, if it means more attention, I guess I'm for it. And maybe she'll teach me something new. I do like to learn.

Well, I've got to go -- I hear some birds outside that I need to check out.

Let me know if you have read the book and if you think it's a good Mother's Day present
