Playing with Daddy

No Flash today

Yes I know today is Flash Friday but since he wanted to come and try to make fun of me the other day I am not letting him post today.

Just so you all know my kennel was cleaned out because of him. Yep he decided to pee in his kennel (and not ring the bell to go outside) so mom and dad decided to clean both of our kennels. He probably did it just to watch me freak out. He's mean that way.

Oh and just to get back at him here is a picture of him in his kennel and what mom and dad found under his blankets. Look at all that trash he was hiding.

Mom and Dad and the kids went to the zoo yesterday. Mom forgot the camera but they got to see Scotty. Plus a baby pygmy hippo among other things. They had fun and our boy came back with this long stuffed snake. I would like to for a toy but that would just get me in trouble. They didn't make it to the water park today though because there was thunder and rain. So they were home with us. WOO WOO.

Well that's about it from here for now.

Peanut

hahaha (it's Flash)

Okay so peanut couldn't post yesterday or today because he is still traumatized. See the nice picture of Dad cleaning out Peanut's kennel? He just freaks whenever it gets cleaned and it takes him forever to recover.

Mom and Dad stayed home with us Monday and Tuesday so we got to play outside and didn't have to be in our kennels. Which was great of course. Today they went to the water park for 3 hours and tomorrow they are going to the zoo. :(
Here is this lovely picture of Raven. Can you even see her? She is that black spot between the cabinet and the microwave. There were people pressure washing the outside of our house today and it totally freaked her out and she stayed up there for quite awhile. I don't know how she fit herself in there.

Here is our boy learning how to ride his bike without training wheels. Mom says it is going slow but he will get it.

And this last picture is me. I am so fast that all mom can get with the camera is a blur. Pretty cool huh?

Hello to my lovely girl Lady Kaos. Glad to hear you mom's surgery went well and she is home recovering. Take good care of her.
Peanut the big baby might be back tomorrow. Who knows.

Happy Birthday Grammie

It's our Grammie's birthday today. For those of you who don't know Grammie is our mom's mom (though they look so much alike you might think they were twins hahaha). That's grammie up in the dinosaur head two summers ago when she and Pappy came to visit us.

I think Grammie is about 956 years old since mom is about 459. I can never tell with these humans. Oh mom just yelled at me she said Grammie is only 56 and she is only 31. Well how am I supposed to know? Geez. Anyway even though we are a little mad at grammie for forking over the cash that gets us locked in our kennels we do love her and without her we wouldn't have mom. Plus she sends us treats her dogs don't eat and that pappy thinks make the dogs breath smell to bad. Plus grammie has a soft spot for animals and love us even though when she is here we annoy her because we don't like to listen and leave her alone. So this post is to say Happy Birthday Grammie. We love you. Oh and we thought you might like this alien card. :)

We hate Summer

Well we thought it would be so nice to have our kids home for the summer. They could play with us and play with us but you know so far it isn't so good.
The only good thing is we have been able to go outside more when the kids are on the trampoline. Now to the bad stuff
We blame Grammie for this one (though we still love you grammie). There is a water park here on post. Well our kids wanted a season pass so our girl asked grammie for the money. Grammie was nice enough to cough up the dough. So they have been at the water park and when they go to the water park, we have to go in our kennels. That is no fun. Plus mom says they will be there a lot this summer as long as the weather is good. So it looks like we will be spending lots of time in our kennels.
Oh and the summer means BBQs too. Yesterday was a birthday party BBQ down the street. The whole family was gone for 4 hours. I tell you I am not used to being locked up so much since mom is usually always home. I liked it better when mom and dad had no friends and hardly ever left me.
That's all the news from here. Dad goes on leave tonight so he'll be off work for a couple weeks. Hopefully we can get him to play with us a ton.

Some questions

Okay after our lists were posted we had some questions asked. Most of them being about my fear of little dogs which I will talk about in a minute.
First off our friend Sophie was having trouble getting down to our posts because of our guestbook so we moved it. Sophie turns 8 today so go over and wish her a happy barkday if you haven't already.
So now for the questions. Stanley asked if we miss stuffed toys. Sure we do stuff toys are fun. Mom says no more though since we don't just kind of fight over them. We bite and growl and would draw blood if we could. Mom has had to break us up with a broom and one time with the vacuum cleaner since it was closest thing handy. So she says no more no way no how. She can't take the stress. Oh and we only fight like this over stuffed toys nothing else.
Stanley also asked if we sometimes secretly snuggle. The answer to that would be no. Sometimes I do try to use Flash as a pillow but he doesn't like it much and will move. We sleep on separate cushions on the couch and I sleep with mom and dad and Flash has his own bed (which I get yelled at for getting in).
Balboa asked if my neighbor was nice since I like to run into their yard. Well they are nice but they are afraid of me. Can you believe someone is afraid of me? (mom here lots of people are afraid of Peanut in fact since when he meets new people outside of the house he just stops, stands perfectly still and stares at them until he decides they are okay. This makes people nervous since he is as large as he is.) Anyway they know I am nice and will come up and pet me now (after 2 years) if I am in my fence but still won't come visit me inside my fence. Mom says it is sad since they are making their kids afraid of dogs to and she tries to get the kids to pet me but no luck.
Okay no on to my fear of little dogs. I wasn't always afraid of them. In fact my best friend in Germany was a dachshund mix and we would play together for hours. But then something bad happened once we came to Kentucky. Mom was walking me one night in our housing area. I of course was on my leash. Well mom sees this little dog with her owners in their yard a few houses down. Before mom can even decide if we are going to keep going or turn around this dog comes running towards us. Her owners are yelling at her to come back but not moving from their yard to get her and then they yell at mom "Is your dog a male or female? She likes males but will attack females" Mom is just kind of standing there dumbfounded that these idiots would let a dog that will attack other dogs outside without a leash on and not go after it when it takes off out of the yard. Well mom tells them I am male so we decide maybe it isn't a big deal to meet this little gal. I like all dogs up to this point and we knew I wouldn't do anything. So this little gal comes over sniffs me, I sniff her, she walks under me and then attacks my legs and this was no play attack. Mom had to push her off me with her foot while I was trying to run away. Those stupid owners still didn't come get the dog as she was trying to attack me. They tried yelling at mom though when she put her foot on their mangy mutt. Well mom didn't go for that let me tell you. I was totally traumatized and to this day don't like little dogs. Mom tries to make me meet ones when we come across them and I am getting a little better but would still rather run away.
Now you all know my secret shame. I Peanut, the 80 lb boxer, am afraid of any dog that weighs less then 20 lbs.

8 things about us

We have been tagged by quite a few of our friends Maggie, Dory,Lady kaos,Scubee, Sparky,Lorenza,Ruby to post eight things about ourselves. Well we wanted to do it sooner but since our kids last day of school was Thursday and it was Memorial Day weekend and since Dad actually got a holiday weekend we spent a lot of time outside doing stuff so mom wouldn't help us. Here are our lists though. Hopefully you learn something new about us.

Peanut's List

1. I will do anything for butter
2. I once bit a lump off myself (don't worry it wasn't anything bad just a bee sting that formed a big lump)
3. I'm a very jealous dog. If my kids are getting attention from mom I will walk over them to get to her(then I get in trouble)
4. If I'm not fed on time I will bark until they feed me (and I get in trouble)
5. If Mom or Dad move my kennel (for any reason) I go nuts until it's put back in it's spot.
6. I fight with my brother over stuffed toys so we don't get them anymore
7. Little dogs terrify me
8. My idea of running away is to run to the neighbors fenced in yard next door.

Flash's list

1. I have my own bed Peanut can't use
2. I don't like nylabones
3. If dad raises his voice to me and I'm on his and mom's bed I pee
4. I will drink from a sprinkler until it gets shut off. I once drank from one for an hour and then came inside and peed because I had so much water. Mom and Dad don't let me do that anymore
5. I bit holes in the kids' swimming pool to get at the water
6. I fight with my brother over stuffed toys so we don't get them anymore.
7. I love to lick people.
8. I can't go out in the yard without a person because I always try to get out of the fence.

Well that's it for tonight. We will be back later

A tree broke our fence

Hey everybody Flash here. I thought I would post this since Peanut is busy barking at Shelby and being stupid.

When mom let us outside this morning this is what we saw. Some tree fell over right onto our fence. So of course we had to go check it out. I could get up and sniff the tree. It smelled odd I tell you. Peanut just ignored it though.

Look the fence is all bent up and way lower then it should be plus mom says that cap thingie is broken and the fence is coming apart on the side that wasn't hit.

Here's a picture of part of the tree in the woods. Mom couldn't get it all because it is an incline and she says she wasn't going to go down there and get ticks just so I could post the whole tree on the blog.

Here's a picture of the woods behind our house. See all those trees? Do you think more of them will fall over? Hmm maybe they will take down the whole fence and then I can escape again.

And here is the fence after mom got the tree off of it. She had to push hard and kind of throw the tree back into the woods. Poor mom she would have waited until Dad came home but that won't be until tomorrow as he has duty and she said she didn't want to leave it on the fence to do more damage until then.

So it's been a pretty exciting morning already. Mom now has to call the fence people to come and fix it. Though she said she might let dad do that tomorrow since she doesn't want to.

Oh and Hi to my lovely girlfriend Lady Kaos.

Who do I look like?

My lovely little friend Lorenza tagged me to post which celebrity I look the most like. Well mom couldn't figure out a person she thinks I look like but she swears I look like this thing.

It's a Mangalor from the movie The Fifth Element. Mom has thought I look like them for quite awhile. I don't see the resemblance but she is insistent. What do you think?

Yesterday and trip pictures

Okay so yesterday I was totally traumatized. Mom let Flash and I outside and came with us. She told me to go get my jolly ball and I COULDN'T FIND IT. So mom looked around and SHE COULDN'T FIND IT EITHER. Oh my goodness it was the worst day of my life. We looked all over and my jolly ball was just missing. Mom couldn't figure it out at all. I was so depressed I laid around all day until Dad came home. Mom asked him if he's seen it and so he went out into the yard to look for it. Well you know what he looked and looked and about gave up but then DAD FOUND IT. Yep my dad is the coolest. I don't know how mom and I missed it except it was by the shed pushed up in the corner against the fence. I am so happy again I have my jolly ball back.

Okay now for the long promised pictures of my boy's field trip. He went to a place called Kentucky down under that has all these animals from Australia. It looks cool in the pictures.

They saw an Albino Wallabee and my boy got to pet an actual Kangaroo.

Then he got to pet an Emu and look at some pretty birds. Plus he got to feed a lorikeet.

Then they went down in a cave. Saw a working sheep dog.

And last but not least he was one of 9 kids (in a room of about a hundred) that got picked to feed a baby lamb and then carry it back to it's pen. Look at him go. He's strong for a 6 year old. He even helped one of the girls carry their sheep back.

OH and here is some info for Grammie. My boy has lost his first tooth. We thought you would like to know. The tooth fairy brought him $2.

Girlfriends

Flash here again. After my post on friday I was overwhelmed at the amount of lovely lovely doggies who would want to be my girlfriend. So we now know Boo does not have all the girl doggies in the world as his girlfriends.

After much soul searching and thinking it over I have asked Lady Kaos if she would do me the honor of being my girlfriend. She is a beautiful dog and we have many things in common. I am definetly a one gal dog so I she will be my only girl.

Now for you boys like Billy who want a girlfriend. There is hope.

These lovely ladies are looking for boyfriends. So I am going to list a little about them and you might find the girl just right for you.
Dakota Dakota really like to chew up toys
Dory who likes lambchops from her grandma's house.
Tasha who has a squirell fortress in her backyard that her and her sister Eva are trying to take out.
Molly who needs to update her blog and last but certainly not least Seadra who I think would be perfect for Billy.

Oh and to Penny and Ellie. Peanut and mom both say that Peanut has enough love to go around for both of you since he's such a big boy.

Later Gators
Flash

I'm sad

So Peanut was gloating the other night because he has girlfriends. Yep that's right. He says Ellie and Penny are his girlfriends. I got to thinking and that makes me sad. I mean there is nothing wrong with Peanut but how come he has two girlfriends and I don't even have one? I'm a cute dog. See? I'm 50 lbs and part Shepard and a much better behaved dog then Peanut (just ask mom she will tell you the same thing).

I'm talented. I can work a trampoline.

So if any of you girl doggies want to be my girlfriend or know of the perfect girl for me. Please let me know. I would lavish my girl with all sorts of attention.

My aunts and uncles

Okay I know I said I would talk about my boys trip down under but I promised to tell you all about my Grammie and Pappy's animals long before that and I thought I would do that first. This is my Aunt Moco. She is my pappy's dog. She loves him a lot (though mom jokingly says she doesn't understand why). Mom and the kids has met Moco and Mom said that when she was home and would walk moco, moco would have to turn in circles before she pooped. She does not know if she still does this though

Here is my Uncle Dawson. He is the newest member of the family. We don't know much about him yet but he looks like a cool guy. This is Clara. Mom says she is my Aunt Clara but I won't call her that since she is a cat. She is a really big cat. Taller then Moco in fact. Plus she is fat. My girl calls her Clara the Big Fat Cat. She doesn't like the dogs or anything else much really but she does like my Grammie.

This is Edgar. He's the other cat in the household. He taught himself to go in and out the dog door. Grammie also said he can climb the fence in the backyard. Oh and he likes Pappy which Mom finds hilarious since Pappy doesn't like cats. This is my Uncle Foley. He was named after the great professional wrestler Mick Foley who is my Grammie's favorite of all time. Grammie said this is a picture of Foley when he has been taken over by aliens (my grammie has an unnatural fixation about aliens haha). We need some help with Foley also. Last night he was sleeping on the bed with Grammie and when Pappy came in and moved the blankets Foley tried to attack him. Mom and Grammie think maybe Foley was asleep and got scared but Pappy swears he was awake. Grammie said when she called him he came right over to her and laid down and went back to sleep. If anyone has any ideas on this please let us know as right now my Human auntie is living with Grammie and Pappy and her kids come to visit on some weekends and they don't want Foley to hurt one of them. He hasn't done anything like this before. They think Foley is about 4 or 5.

So that is my Aunts and Uncles. They were all dogs and cats who were in doggie or kitty jail when Grammie sprung them and brought them to live with her and Pappy. They have good lives now and lots of love.

Tagged

Okay I was tagged by more the one doggie. Mom says she isn't feeling well enough to do all the links to their blogs since her throat hurts. So we got Mom's computer back and on it this is the only one she could find of me on my back. We think there are some of dad's laptop but we need his memory stick to transfer them and he has that at work. So for now here is my favorite sleeping position.

Oh and for a good belly picture here is one of Shelby. He lays like this everywhere. Mom says she thinks it is odd for a cat to lay and even sleep like that.

Tomorrow I get to tell you about my boy's trip down under.

A Sad Day

It is a very sad day to come back online. We got a message from Billy that told us the awful news about FuFu. So we went to read his Blog. FuFu was a great hamesterrier and the whole Dogs with Blogs community will miss him.

Go to the Bridge FuFu and play with all the doggies and now you don't have to worry about them being to big and hurting you.

We will miss you.

Back Monday

Peanut and Flash's mom here. We are switching internet providers and our old one turned our internet off 3 days early. Our new one is supposed to be working on Monday. Hopefully Peanut and Flash will be back then.

Sleeping among other things

So thanks for all the comments about my sitting. It seems Wally and I among others are in the minority when it comes to not putting our behinds all the way on the ground. It's also good to know that Flash isn't the only dog to eat grass like a goat.
I know there has been some talk about where everyone sleeps so I thought I would show you. See me here on my king size bed that I let Dad and mom share with me. The pink side is mom and the camo side is mine. I let Dad use it when he is here though. But when he isn't I take up the whole side.

Here is Flash at the end of the Bed he was just hanging out down there while waiting for Dad to come to bed. That is actually where I sleep when Dad is home. I lay all over his feet (mom's feet don't reach down there). Flash sleeps on the floor or in the chair that is next to the bed. He doesn't like to actually sleep with mom and dad much.

Here is Flash hanging out with Dad while Dad gets ready for bed. I think he was playing with his phone here.

Oh and we got some more 36 inch bully sticks. So here are some pictures of us enjoying those. Flash is trying to take his in his kennel the wrong way the dork. He kept running it into the kennel and looking like an idiot.


Oh tomorrow is Flash's day but he probably won't post in the morning like he usually does since we are going to be locked up in our kennels most of the day. Mom is going on our boys kindergarten field trip with him.

I don't sit and a goat brother

Okay well I do sit but mom and dad think it is funny I don't sit all the way down on my bottom. I never do. Do any of you do this? Especially you doggies with nubbies.

I have to tell you posing for those pictures was just torture though. We were outside yesterday and Dad had my jolly ball and I have to sit before he throws it so mom was taking pictures and Dad wouldn't throw it until she was done. I had to wait forever.

Oh and do any of you have a part dog-part goat brother? I do Flash is constantly eating grass outside. Mom and Dad swear he is part goat. He does it all the time. It never stops. Well that's all for today. I've been busy playing so more pictures and stuff to talk about tomorrow.

No pictures today

Okay so my Pappy said mom is camera happy and you know I have to agree with him. So I told her no pictures on today's blog. Besides I am tired of having to be in all of them. Geez. She's been like that since she got her new digital camera a few months ago which hasn't worn off. Do you doggies ever think it will?

Anyway I thought I would tell you about my day today.
I got up at 7:00 with mom who then got the kids up. She let Flash and me outside and fed us breakfast. Then we ran around the front room for a little bit. At 7:30 we had to go in our kennels since she had to take our boy to the bus. We used to be able to go into the backyard when this happened but ever since Flash ran away and won't stay in the yard we can't since he isn't allowed to be out there without a human. Stupid Flash.
Then mom came back in and let us out of our kennels and we ran around some more while she got ready to go somewhere. Then we got thrown back in the those awful kennels when she left. She says she went to the library and took my boy his lunch which they had forgotten to give him. She came back and we went outside to potty and we ran around some more. Then later about 1:30 we laid on the couch and took a nap with mom. Well I took a nap with her Flash laid on the floor.
At 3 she let us outside again for a few minutes then we had to go back in our kennels because she had to go get our boy off the bus. Once again we used to be able to go in the backyard but not anymore. Stupid Flash. Mom and Dad came inside (dad was home way early today) with out boy and out girl came in a few minutes later. Mom let us out in the backyard again and then came out and played with the hose with us. Then she threw my jolly ball.
Then it was back inside to the kennels for about a hour and a half while the rents went out front with the kids. Again this is stupid flash's fault. Mom keeps talking about getting a tie out for him and I think she needs to do it so I can have free roam of the backyard and not be stuck in my kennel so much. Then they came back in and let us out and ate dinner. They had pizza but we didn't get any. Now I am off to go out in the backyard with the kids. I will see if I can get my girl to throw my jolly ball. She throws farther then our boy. But they will probably just jump on the trampoline. Maybe mom and Dad will come out to and I can get them to throw it.
I will report later.
Bye
