Self Reflections

I have been thinking lately that I am not having as much fun as I did in my puppy days. I was a cute puppy. . .



and I got all kinds of love and effection. All I get now is rough housing and ball tossing. [Although Zoey can do it all day, between me and you, the chasing after the ball thing isn't very exciting after the first 10 or so tosses.]
I think that I need to put on a puppy face again, and get more hugs.

Me and Zoey

The only thing that keeps me going is my sister. While I have to "put up" with my humans and the other animals, Zoey is my main reason to live.



I have often reflected on life, while chewing up shoes or the wall-to-wall carpeting, and I have realized that my sister is the thing that is most important to me. Not to say that digging in the planters and ripping up the grass isn't fun, but playing with my sister, running and barking, tops the list.

Now this is MY kind of law

How about a law that requires your humans to walk you three times per day, and prohibiting them from turning you into "ridiculous fluffy toy" by dying your hair, etc. This is my type of law, passed in Turin.

I will have to get my humans to work on getting something like this in California.

Dog owners in Turin will be fined up to 500 euros ($650) if they don't walk their pets at least three times a day, under a new law from the city's council.

People will also be banned from dyeing their pets' fur or "any form of animal mutilation" for merely aesthetic motives such as docking dogs' tails, under the law about to be passed in the northern Italian city.

"In Turin it will be illegal to turn one's dog into a ridiculous fluffy toy," the city's La Stampa daily reported.

Italians can already be fined up to 10,000 euros and spend a year in prison if found guilty of torturing or abandoning their pets, but Turin's new rules go into much greater detail.

Dogs may be led for walks by people on bicycles, the rules say, "but not in a way that would tire the animal too much."

Italy considers itself an animal-loving nation and in many cities stray cats are protected by law. Still some 150,000 pet dogs and 200,000 cats are abandoned in Italy every year, according to animal rights groups.

To enforce the law, Turin police would rely largely on the help of tipsters spotting cruel treatment by their neighbors, La Stampa reported.

It said the 20-page rulebook gives Turin the most stringent animal protection rules in the country. It even bans fairgrounds from giving away goldfish in plastic bags.

Last in the House

I Nanu Thank you for the welcome.

Now I would like to introduce my favorite member of the household . . . Goldeen. Now this is a roommate that I really want to play with. . . . [purrr].

Although he is purportedly a "fighter" I think that I could lick him. Ohhhh. . . . that would be nice. With a little butter and lemon, maybe?

Anyway if he wasn’t so high on that shelf, I would really get to know him better. Inside-and-out, some would say.

"Welcome" to The Cat

Due to the inevitability of posts from The Cat, I have allowed her to join this site. Hopefully, this way you will know who is posting and not run the risk of confusion. One thing, is that The Cat added advertisements on the bottom of the page. Some interesting stuff, and she gets money if you click them.

There was an ad for a neat ball throwing machine earlier. I still haven’t made it to the park. Maybe I will see about using the money from the ads to buy that.

Lies (Post by Nanu)

The Dog lies. I, Nanu, have hacked into his web page so that I can tell the truth.

I am the most easy-going animal in this household. Mr. Moon has selective memory and that video that he took was staged. It is not reality.

Don't believe the lies!!!

Video Proof of Nanu's Evil

I finally have video proof of the Evil that is Nanu. As you can clearly see from this video, my sister and I are innocently walking by and . . . BAM

SHE ATTACKS.

Click above and watch the video.

Spikey

Although not previously mentioned, there are two other residents in the house. One is Spikey. We are not allowed to play with the little one. Spending all the day under a tanning light, like some primadonna, in a special glass cage. I don't know what gender Spikey is, or I would call him/her a "true California Girl."



I guess that it is a good thing that I can't play with Spikey, cause the rough skin would probably hurt the inside of my mouth.

Howling at the Moon

Under the night sky, I get the urge to open up and let loose with a song. I don't know if it is due to my name, or just my species. It is great that my sister and neighboring animals like to join in.



However, for some unknown reason, the humans all around cannot appreciate the true beauty of song. Until I can convince them of the beauty of my singsong, I will abide them and their lesser sensibilities.

Missing a Cousin

I was just sitting around thinking of a few weeks ago when my cousin Inky was here.



She is a small toy Chihuaua. Although my sister and I are about 100 times her size, we let her think that she is in charge when she stays with us. I don't know what it is about small dogs, but they think that they can push the rest of us around. If we big dogs knew that we could avoid punishment, I would eat the little bugger and end her "reign." But we like her, so we put up with her attitude.

April Fools

Ya know, I don't like it when my humans decide that they can do anything that they want. The other day, they brought home this little squeaky thing that kinda smells funny. I thought that it was food or a toy, but it is some new kinda animal. I haven't quite figured it out, but they sure pay a lot of attention to it.

I thought that this thing was an early April Fools-day joke, but no such luck. They bought it a bunch of fancy cages and toys and have totally ignored us; and even worse, locked us outside. Can you believe it? THEY locked US outside. Hmmpft.

I gotta say, that if they don't do their jobs and start taking us to the park again, my sister and I are going to start tearing up the place again.

[And I thought that The Cat was annoying.]
