dogfancy My latest adventure is being selected for the ‘Happy Endings’ section of Dog Fancy magazine (I’ll post a link when it’s up on their site). Daddy wrote and submitted an article to the magazine about my story. I didn’t help write this article like I do the journal entries, but I think Daddy did a great job. A couple of years ago he wrote this whole big long thing humans call a dissertation…or something like that. The people he works with call him Dr., so I guess he is really good at writing lots of things.

Anyway, I was so excited when my humans told me that Dog Fancy was going to feature my story in their Happy Endings section. I love my humans very much and admire them for rescuing me. I know it was tough for Momma when they first adopted me. Sometimes she didn’t know how to communicate with me so she would sit on the floor crying. I would come and nuzzle her and lick the tears off her face…. they taste good…. kinda salty.

My humans enjoy reading Dog Fancy magazine. It has lots of great articles about all kinds of dogs, how to take care them, and all the fun things humans and dogs can do together. Maybe us dogs should publish a magazine called “Human Fancy”. Might be kinda fun. We could share ideas with each other on how to train humans to give us lots of treats, take us for long walks multiple times a day, get us groomed at the salon, and even how to sleep on the very edge of the bed so we can have the middle all to ourselves.

So, if you haven’t read Dog Fancy you should check it out. You can buy it at your local bookstore and/or pet store, and even your local library should have it.

Enjoy,

I thought I would share with you some of my favorite things in the whole wide world. First of all, I love toys, lots of toys. I guess that’s the way it is with us boys. Or so Momma says… Anytime I can I bring toys, or babies, to Momma or Daddy I do. Some times I think it’s fun to bring them every last toy in the toy basket. ‘m still not sure if the humans enjoy this as mush as us dogs, but oh well, it sure is fun! I also have lots of fun playing tug, and finding the babies when they get tossed just a few feet away from me. In my journal entry on ‘fetch‘ I write about how Momma taught me how to fetch based on scent. I use this cool technique to find the babies when we are playing.

Sometimes I will take a toy to Sombra or Zannie. But they don’t play with babies much anymore. This is actually OK with me because I get them all to myself!

I have a cool mallard duck, a really fun sneaky snake, a big ole red lobster, a squeaky turtle (even thought I can’t hear it), and a chubby mouse that is actually a tennis ball inside a baby that looks like a chubby mouse. I know this cause I dissected the previous chubby mouse… a purple tennis ball for guts?

That reminds me, when I was a puppy my humans bought me a huge moose. It was almost as big as me. I played with that moose for along time until there was nothing left but its legs. Momma finally threw out the legs. She has a hard time doing that though because she thinks of all the fun that I had with a baby, and it makes her sad to through a baby away. I don’t mind though because that means I get NEW babies to play with! And who doesn’t love NEW BABIES!

In case you’ve never noticed, I also love my couch…sometimes I let Momma and Daddy sit on it with me… hee hee! I also love my casita (little house). This is where Sombra, Zannie, and I sleep during the day when our humans are at work. But, the thing that I love the most is my bed. It is a huge, king sized bed with lots of fluffy pillows (my human’s think that is their bed, but little do they know…). I enjoying snuggling in it at night. There is a nice window by the bed that brings in a breeze at night that lets me know if any critters are outside the window.
