canine spa

OK, not my best look I have to admit, my eyes look a little strange, but I had a blast at the canine spa in Dillsburg, PA!!!  Mommy took me as a surprise, it was such a long ride, 50 minutes and well worth it when we got there and I discovered I was GOING SWIMMING!!!

I have the best mommy in the world, it was a grand surprise to say the least and I swam for a little over an hour.  Mommy and I had the place to ourselves for about 40 minutes then five other dogs showed up but by then I was pooped and ready to go home.  

So mommy washed me and dried me off then loaded me up and we went home where I was in need of a massage as I am an old man and swimming that long was good for me, but a little tiring.  Mommy knew it was time to leave by watching me and if not for her I would have stayed there all day and collapsed from exhaustion, when it comes to water I have no boundaries and will swim and swim till the cows come home!

Mommy did a great job rubbing when we got home, she does it so well, and then she tucked me into my dogie bed and covered me with a blanket and I slept all night, it was a good day and she promises me it will be a weekly outing for us both.  Now, if I can only get the cat to swim we can have one hell of a family outing, but I just can not seem to get my sister Mandy to enjoy the water, when mommy leaves us alone I try and dunk her in the toilet but she runs away and hides.  Oh well, still need to work on her but only when mommy is away.

I want to suck your stuffing!!

OK, so I like a little vampire action here and there so sue me.  This is my favorite stuffed bear, he is a Halloween bear and just playing with him makes me want to bite his neck, and the stuffing is so tasty how can anyone dog pass that up.  I find a little rough play with my stuffed toys keeps me sane.  I enjoy a good bite session and as I have advanced in age I have kept my toys in tact, no stuffing oozing out from ripped seams, I just bite and bite and bite, and if stuffing comes out I eat it.

Although my favorite thing to do is take my toy outside with me but mommy does not approve of this as i end up leaving them out there and then they are ruined, like Ducky, he has been out in the elements for three weeks now, but mommy promised to wash him and make him close to new again.  I just love that little yellow squeaky duck.  Mommy found a new game for us to play, it is called "toss the treat" mommy throws a treat in the back yard and I run after it, I get great exercise this way as I run and keep running as I want a treat.  I for some reason just wont run after a ball and bring it back to her.

I usually make her come to me to get it and then have her throw it again.  I like this game a lot, but mommy says it is not normal, she should not be retrieving, I should be, so she came up with this new game in the back yard and I have to say, I like to eat so I run and run for those treats.

And just when I think I have her trained, ha, she comes back and finds a way to get me to run.  You may think I am lazy but I am not, I just do not want to run, it is a choice.  I choose not to unless there is something in it for me, like a treat, then I run.  And now it is time to turn in as we have a long day tomorrow getting the yard in tip top shape. 

I am back with Mommy, YEAH!!!!

I was so happy to see mommy and as soon as the door opened I ran out to her and welcomed her home with lots of tail wags and wet kisses and so much love, when we got home I ran to all of my toys and picked them up one by one in a frenzy as I was so excited and could not decide which one to play with.  Mommy was so happy to see me too, she could not get over how much I missed her. 

She was smiling from ear to ear and gave me all the belly rubs and kisses and ear rubs I could ever dream of.

My visit with my daddy was minimal to say the least.  I actually stayed with my grand pa and grand ma, my daddy did not bring me to his new house with his new family.  I stayed with my grand parents and they loved me and played with me and walked me.  I am not surprised at all by my daddy not wanting to spend time with me.  When he left he just forgot all about the life he built here and walked away and did not turn back, the funny thing is though, he should have looked back because only when you look back can you see a brighter tomorrow.  I feel sorry for my daddy, he thinks the grass is greener on the other side, but even his friend who had an affair and left his wife told him that the grass is not greener on the other side.  And when he wakes up in the morning he says good morning to his ex wife before he says good morning to his present wife.

So, daddy will forever and always have to live with what he did and accept what he lost because when you turn to an affair as a way to make you happy and do not work on a commitment then you are bound to never be happy and make the same mistakes all over again.  It is like running away from a problem, but you can not run when the problem is you.  I am not saying mommy and daddy's marriage was perfect, but when you marry a person you say the vows, "For better or worse, for richer for poorer and in sickness and in health"  when the marriage needs work you need to work at it, not turn to someone else outside of the marriage as a distraction and then run from your problems.  But, anyway, mommy is so much more happier now than she ever was being married to daddy.

She lost who she was in this marriage and since he left she has found herself again and she really enjoys not having anything tie her down, she gave up so many dreams for daddy.  So many things were given up for him and he never gave up one damn thing for her.  So, mommy has a brand new exciting life ahead of her and in a future post, I will make sure to post the turn of events that my daddy could have shared in had he stayed and worked on the marriage but opted not to instead and that leaves him out of sharing in a wonderful, truly wonderful thing.......it pays to live up to  your word like, "I promise to always tell you if our marriage is in trouble, I promise to tell if you if I feel attracted to someone else, I promise to tell you if I am not happy in our marriage, I promise to always work on our marriage and never just walk away."  Yes, daddy did not do any of these things he promised mommy.

Instead he cheated twice, then left her and me and now, what he always wanted more than anything else in this world, is about to land in mommy's lap and she is very happy she will not have to share that with him.  And I am happy she kept me, because I get to share this with her but more than that, I am glad to have her as my mommy because she loves me so much and takes such good care of me.

I am not too sure what to make of this

Well, I am not too sure about the turn of events.  Mommy is going out of town, and instead of leaving me in the house and having the neighbor watch me and let me out and feed me and play with me, she is letting Daddy take me for a week.

Mommy and daddy are putting their house on the market, so while she is gone, he offered to take me for the week so the house could still be shown.  Mommy was happy he asked as he has not seen me since last year and it has been two years since I last spent a week with him.   He kind of forgot about me, I wish he was letting me stay with him because he missed me and wanted to see me but he only offered because the house needs to be shown still.  Anyway, I am not too sure how I feel about this.

I think I will be nervous and excited to see him again.  It has been such a long time and I love my daddy.  But I love mommy more because she is always with me and treats me very well and loves me and spoils me.  I know daddy has a new dog, I think he name is Zoie, hmmmmf, what ever.  Anyway, I just hope he is happy to see me and spends time with me and rubs my belly and  plays with me and remembers the good ole times we had together.  This will be my last opportunity to spend a week with him as mommy and I and Mandy will be moving.  I know mommy will worry about me, but I am sure I will be OK.  I will miss her greatly though, and I will do what I always do and send her an e-card reminding her how much I love her and miss her and to wish her a happy mommy's day!!!!  Well, this is my last night with mommy so I am going to go and spend as much time playing with her as I possibly can and give her lots of kisses and hugs.  I truly hope and pray daddy will be happy to see me and show me some love.  Divorce is hard on everyone, even the pets.

Now that is a kiss!!

Well, welcome to my world of being the most spoiled dog ever!!  Mommy's friend Tina gave me one hell of a kiss on Sat when she came to visit mom.  Mom's other friend Joy dressed me up and then Tina well, she just felt the over powering urge to kiss me, I know I am a looker, handsome, hunk, and irresistible and adorable all rolled into one.  When mommy takes me downtown everyone stops her to pet me and comment on how cute I am .  No, I am not stuck on myself I just know I am cute and work it.  I work it for food normally, but a kiss, well that is cool too.  She was not a bad kisser either.  Not that I have much experience in that area, but I was pleasantly surprised.  She can come back anytime!!!  I bet Dakota would be very jealous if she saw this picture.  

OH baby!! I am in heaven!!!

OH MY Goodness, I was in dog heaven on this day!!!  Mommy's two friends, Joy and Tina came to spend the night and this was my first time meeting them and they loved me, I mean they LOVED me!! I got a tail rub and an ear/head rub. My two favorite areas were being rubbed and scratched at the exact same time.  They were laughing at me because I was making my happy noise.  I could not help it, it felt sooooooooo damn goooooooood!!!

I kept thinking, "don't stop, oh please don't stop, I love you, more, more, more!!!"  And they must have read my mind as they continued rubbing me and laughing and having a ball.  I think they got more out of it than me, Tina even gave me a little kiss, I will have to make that my next post entry as it was one hot kiss.  I had so much fun with them, and they even played with me outside a little too.  Of course they were here to see mommy but to meet me two but I did not get to go with them for lunch but I met them on their return and I got a lot more love from them again.

I am one spoiled dog, and I love it!! Thanks Tina and Joy for a wonderful, relaxing, invigorating afternoon!!!

Ah come on, please????

Meet my new friend Dakota, young, sweet, female and one hot momma.  She and I had two play sessions in one week.  The first time ever, and she is fast, I mean physically fast.  She can run circles around me.  I find her as attractive as I find Jake, now Jake is still my first and only true love, but when Dakota comes over and swings her Hiney and I just loose it.  

I tried to sneak up on her at one point but she caught me and let me know right away she was not over for a naughty play session. OK, so I am a male, a 10 year old male so I tried.  

I like her though, we live next door to each other, she lives in Jake's old house.  Jake would let me jump on his back and get a little action in of course it was the dominance thing but still, Dakota wont allow it, but I bet I can work her into submission.  Although she is a hard one to catch.  It seems I try this with all dogs, heeee heeee, well OK, so I am the kind of dog that likes pleasure, dogs will be dogs right?
