| 12/09/2009 | I played in the snow this morning. Daddy laughed when I came in and couldn't shake all the snow off my fur. I've lost so much weight that I have hanging skin which doesn't shake well. Daddy says we're going to have to have a charity dance for my surgery. 15 more pounds and I can have it. Who ever thought of plastic surgery for dogs!?!?! |
| 11/21/2009 | Only 15 more pounds to go! Daddy says I'll be on the cover of PlayBeagle if I keep it up! (don't know what that is but it sounds great!) I got a new bed as a present the other day. It's soooo comfy and nice to suck on. Mommy says my icky old toys need to be replaced but I just got them torn up the way I like them. Who says a squirrel needs arms?! |
| 09/05/2009 | Sorry it's been so long of an update. I've been busy keeping that cat in line and visiting lots of new friends. Plus my mommy and daddy got married and that was full of new adventures. I spent 5 days at a doggie spa where I got to spend my days playing with all the other dogs in a big yard.
The only sad thing is I'm on a new diet. It's prescription food and it's pretty bland but naturally I eat it.
I can't wait for the beagle bash to show off my new figure! See you all there!!! |
| 05/25/2009 | I found a new home! With a cat! I love the cat. He's the greatest thing in the world to sniff. Well in general I love all the new smells. And I cleaned my new mommy's floor for her. She thought she was a good housekeeper but I made sure to find all those luscious crumbs that she left behind. I also figured out how to stretch my tongue JUST enough to reach the delectable cat food. My favorite thing so far has been the mouse that I found on the floor. Mommy says it's for the cat and tries to take it away from me but I won't let her. It fits just perfectly in my mouth, squeeks and is so soft. Mommy says I have a doctors appointment today. Hopefully I've lost some more weight. She really wants to take me for walks! |
| 05/10/2009 | My foster brother Pete is my best friend in the world...we make such a good team. I've learned how to open the cupboard doors in the kitchen -- including the magic one called "garbage" that has all kinds of good stuff in it. The problem is that once the door is open, I can't get into the tall pail. That's where Pete comes in -- once it's open, he can climb into the pail and pull stuff out. He spreads it all over the floor and we share the goods. Teamwork at its best! |
| 04/05/2009 | Well...my foster mom has been chasing me with the camera again. I love to pose, but the flash makes me jump. Someday, she might be able to capture a picture with me standing--I still prefer laying down. There are a couple of pictures that show how I react when I hear the word "dinner"...for some reason that makes her laugh. And she's been trying to get some video of me playing with my foster brother Charlie (I love to sound SOOOO vicious with him!! It gets him back for trying to get me to chase him when he knows I can't yet run after him.) |
| 04/01/2009 | Mom made a new video of me "talking" to her (actually telling a sad story about me NOT getting scraps from her dinner). That IS very sad...her dinners always smell so much better than what she feeds me! But on a happy note, people (and dogs!) are starting to write messages to me. If you haven't already, please sign my guestbook. I LOVE getting messages!! And many thanks to those of you who wrote with words of encouragement on my diet. Another pound down this week...arooooo!! (that's a happy, not sad story) |
| 03/21/2009 | I went on another walk with my foster dad and my foster sister. She held my leash while dad took some video. My mom said that if you click on the video link above, you can watch me walk (am I really that interesting to watch?) She also said that she made some updates to my webpage and wants you to check out all the new stuff. You may even be able to send me a message soon...that sounds exciting!! Maybe I'll even get a message from my future forever family -- I know you're out there somewhere! I want to hear from you! |
| 03/07/2009 | Wow...I guess it's been a while since I wrote. Not much new stuff going on. Today my foster dad took me for another walk. I was a little scared at first because of what happened the last time, but this time the ground didn't hurt my feet. I still get tired when I walk, but when I follow my foster dad when he has a treat, I sometimes forget to get tired. I like walking--there are so many exciting sights and smells out there. I hope we go on lots of walks! |
| 02/09/2009 | So close, and yet so far. I watched Daddy making his lunch as I always do...ever hopeful he'll drop something for me to eat, but he's always WAY too careful. He was talking to mommy and while trying to make a point, held that package of cheese right there. Right within reach. I had to go for it...so I did. And I got it!! But he held on and we struggled in this little tug of war for a few seconds. I held on as tight as I could, but he's too strong for me and I lost. I'm not sure I've ever heard mom laughing so hard. Oh well...I tried! |
| 01/17/2009 | Today my foster dad took me for a walk--well, at least he tried to. I still get very tired when I walk and all this white stuff on the ground is weird and hurts my feet when I walk on it. I finally had to stop and lay down, but the ground still hurt my feet so I picked them up while I was on my belly. But then I couldn't move at all and Dad started to leave muttering something about a getting a wheelbarrow. I didn't want him to leave me all alone, so I got brave and got up and followed him back home. I didn't like that at all! |
| 12/31/2008 | Today was a good day...I feel really happy and even though I don't eat as much as I want, I am feeling better than I have in a long time. I decided today that I really love my foster mom and told her with lots of kisses while she was laying down on the floor. Why did that make her cry? I soooo don't understand people sometimes. |
| 12/26/2008 | My foster mom took me to the vet today. Everyone was all excited because I lost 9 pounds. Well of course I did...they feed me soooo much less than I used to eat. The vet told my mom to cut back on my water too...what will I do now? But I showed them--the next time I went out to pee, I found that this white stuff on the ground tastes pretty good when I'm thirsty. Ha ha mom!! |
| 12/24/2008 | My foster mom is all excited today. Usually I need a boost from behind to get up the stairs from the garage to the kitchen. But she didn't help me quick enough so I decided to get myself up the stairs instead. I'm slower than the boys at this, but made it into the kitchen on my own. My foster mom said it was my Christmas miracle. Happy holidays everyone! |
| 11/23/2008 | Well, here I am in a new home. I had a long ride today, and I'm really tired. Looks like these people are pretty nice, and there are three boys here who look a little like me--at least they walk on four legs like I do and seem to understand me. They haven't really talked to me yet, except to sniff my rear. When's dinner? |
