My mom always says tuck your tail in...

And mom knows best.:-) Ever since I was a little pup, I have kept my beautiful tail safe and pretty by tucking it in when I lie down.

The humans decided that we needed to have the bathroom fixed up because it looked grungy. Here's a photo of me enjoying the final product. There has been no talk of giving me a bath in the new tub. I wonder why?

On another note, I have perfected a special welcome for my humans when they come home. My latest trick is to jump on the kitchen table so that I can give them proper licks. They seem to enjoy the royal treatment.

I am a ding-a-lingerer

Here I am ding-a-lingering by the door bell. My humans have installed a bird bell on the door knob of the kitchen door. Whenever I wish to leave the house, all I have to do is nudge the bell and one of the humans will come to open the back door in response to my dingling. I am not implying that my humans are ding-a-lings but they do respond to a little dingle now and then.

A very sad day for us all

When a beautiful pup enters your life, there is no going back. It is always love at first sight. For my friend Vickie, she fell in love with Franki's niece "Mindy" at first sight. Vickie and I met because of our love of dogs and wolves and we both hoped to spend many happy hours together with our two girls "Kira" and "Franki" as well as the newest addition to Vickie's family "Mindy". Little "Mindy" was born on Valentine's Day and she and her three litter-mates were dubbed the love-puppies. This Easter weekend, Vickie and her hubby Walter as well as their beautiful husky "Kira" drove all the way to Dawson Creek, BC from Vancouver to bring sweet "Mindy" to her new home. Before Vickie and her family had a chance to meet "Mindy" an unimaginable tragedy took "Mindy" away from us all. She and her litter mates received their first vaccinations on Thursday and "Mindy" was unable to tolerate the vaccine. Her small body went into anaphylactic shock and she was unable to survive. My dear friend Vickie is devastated and so am I. My heart goes out to Vickie and her family.

An Auntie Am I!

My handsome brother "Sizzler" in Dawson Creek has been busy and he is now the proud Papa of four beautiful Sibes. Let's not forget about the proud Mama whose name is "Mercy" which is short for Mercedes. She's been doing all of the hard work.:-)
There are two black/white girls and two grey/white boys. I am so proud of them that I have to post the latest photos for you all. Mother "Mercy" is watching the two pups singing for their supper through the back door.

Happy Spring to everyone!

Snow is too white

I do not like to see too much white in the backyard so I decided to stir things up a bit. My favourite hole needed digging and since the ground was frozen it required a bit more elbow grease than usual to get things going. How do you like my work?

Merry Christmas to all!

Sorry to be late in my Christmas greetings! We have been having so much fun in the snow that my human did not have time to sit down at the 'puter! The snow is at least two feet deep and we are enjoying the beauty of it. For Christmas I got a new bed for my dog crate. It's very comfy. Merry Christmas to all dogs and their humans.:-)

It's my birthday!

Today is my big day! I am two years old. My human has not been keeping my blog updated because she can barely keep up with me. I make sure that she gets lots of exercise and does not spend too much time on the computer. Here are a few recent photos of me. One shows me on the back porch which has been modified with duct tape to prevent me from chewing the post. The other shows me with a new neigborhood pup named Justus. He's the cutest little fellow! He even came to my house on Hallowe'en.:-) The third photo shows me in my window seat watching the world go by. It's my favourite spot to curl up.:-)
