Happy Easter!

Hello everydog, I would like to wish you all a very happy Easter! And for the Easter theme, I will show you a picture of a bunny!...


...Okay, so it's not actually a bunny, but can you tell the difference? Okay, so bunnies don't usually have long tongues that stick out of their mouths, but they do like grass. And not all bunnies have ears that stick up, some have floppy ears. So it really doesn't make any difference, does it?

Hammer tagged me to do this fun little game. Here are the rules...

1. Grab the nearest book of 123 pages or more.
2. Open it to page 123.
3. Find the first 5 sentences and write them down.
4. Then invite 5 friends to do the same.

So, of course, the nearest book of 123 is about us dogs. I mean, I'd be quite offended if my humans read anything else! Don't you think we dogs are all our humans need?

The first 5 sentences of page 123 is... Oops, I'm going to have to break the rules a little bit. The only thing on page 123 is a picture! I'll read from page 122 instead...

The Schipperke may be small, but it retains the personality of a street fighter. This compact package of energy once worked for it's living on Flanders and Brabant canal barges, keeping them free from vermin and warning the bargemen of potential intruders. The breed was also used on land, acting as an efficient rat, rabbit, and mole hunter. Resilient and conveniently sized, it makes an ideal household companion. Country of origin: Belgium.

Now I would like to tag...
1. Dory
2. Happy
3. Lenny
4. Snowy and Crystal
5. Tosca


Guess what? My good friend Amici has nominated me for Post of the Month for March! Thank you so much, Amici! There's a few very good posts this month, please go vote for your favorite HERE!

Happy Easter everyone!

Squirrels, Moss, and Sticks.

Okay, you see this? Do you know what this is? It's called a squirrel.


Do you know what squirrels are? Squirrels are evil. They're almost as evil as cats! One day, I'm going to catch one and teach it a lesson it will never forget!

There are a number of reasons why squirrels are evil...

1. They chatter insults down at us from their trees. And when we dogs bark back up at them, they chatter more insults back down at us.

2. Every time my humans plant a garden, the squirrels eat the plants before they grow! It makes my humans angry. (Mind you, if the squirrels didn't eat the plants, I probably would instead...)

3. Squirrels have a way of making us dogs really angry. They let us chase them, but they always stay just out of reach. And then they climb up a tree, and start laughing and chattering insults back down at us, which leads us to reason number one again of why squirrels are evil.

Now guess what the squirrels are doing? They're throwing moss at me! We have this huge Maple tree covering our whole front yard, and the squirrels go up and peel off the moss and throw clumps of it down on the ground. They're either searching for bugs under the moss, or else they're trying to kill me by throwing the moss down at me! Okay, moss doesn't actually hurt that much when it falls, but it still angers me to see the squirrels doing this. There also seems to be a bunch of sticks on the ground, which my humans say fell out of the tree during windstorms, but I say the squirrels threw them down, too!

Look at this stick I found on the ground. It's huge!

Maybe by chewing up this big stick, the squirrels will get the message of what I'll do to them once I catch them!

Mmmm, tasty stick!

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, ...

Hello everydog and hamster, I am back! The internet connection is still a little wonky, but it's good enough to start blogging and visiting other blogs again! Oh man, I have so many blogs to catch up on, I'd better get started as soon as I'm finished this.

I did finally get my haircut! But I'm not sure whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. I mean, it's a good thing, 'cause now Lizzy can't give me anymore scary or girly lookin' hairstyles. But it's also a bad thing, cause now I feel so naked! My humans have been calling me "chicken legs". And the weather has gotten very cold again, and now I don't have my natural fur coat to keep me warm anymore. I hope spring and summer comes around soon!

Anyway, to keep myself too busy to think about how naked I am, I've been squeaking my squeaky toy. It's a good way to keep myself from being bored, too. And that squeaky sound, it's so satisfying!




Oh, I forgot to mention that there is one more good thing about being naked... It is easier to jump. A lot easier, actually. And jumping is like, my passion! I'll have to get my human Lizzy to take some jumping pictures of me again soon!

Time For a Haircut!

I'm so terribly sorry I haven't been able to visit everyone's blogs, or even update my own recently. It seems we can't trust the internet connection anymore! Hopefully I can post this blog before it goes down again. We will try to get things fixed up soon so that I can visit everyone's blogs again!


I'm so behind is so many tags, so I'd better start catching up! Today I'll do Ruby's tag. She has tagged me to post something that I am good at making. These are the rules...

1. Make something, anything. It doesn't have to be complicated or artsy. Make a list, take an interesting picture, make some one's day, make dinner, make a doodle, make fun of yourself, make a poem, make your bed (OK, that last one is lame). 2. Write a blog about it. With pictures for extra brownie points. 3. Link to this blog and challenge six other bloggers to do the same.

Well, today I discovered two new things! First, I found out that I can make silly faces that make myself look stupid.

Second, I found out that I need a haircut. Desperately. Let me show you why...

I'm sure you've all noticed how long my bangs have been getting. I normally don't care if my bangs hang over my eyes, so having long hair has been just fine with me. But today, my human Lizzy decided to test her hair styling skills... on me.


First, she gave me a little topknot .


Well, the topknot wasn't too bad I guess. It was alright.


Wait, is my topknot pink?! Everyone will think I'm a girl! Quick, change it!


Okay, I hope this looks better!


I'll check in the mirror... Ack! I look like I have grass growing out of my head!


Lizzy, this makes me look stupid! Get it off!


Ugh... Get this one off, too!


Okay. Just don't ask.


Fine, if you won't get this one off, I'll do it myself!


Grrrreat... I just made it worse, now I can't even see!


SOMEONE GET THIS THING OFF OF ME!


Oh, finally! Thank you, Lizzy! Now I'm all back to normal again.


Hey, what are you laughing at? There's nothing left in my hair! I look fine, don't I?


Fine then, laugh all you want! Now that Lizzy's done giving me silly hairdos, I'm gonna go for a walk or something. I need to cool my nerves.

I'm so glad I look good again.


So now that you've all seen these pictures, you can see how I can make myself look stupid. And now I need to make my humans take me for a haircut, so I can get rid of my long bangs! Once I get rid of my long fur, then Lizzy won't be able to practice her hair styling skills on me anymore.

I'd like to tag whoever wants to be tagged to do this "what can you make?" tag! So what are you all good at making?
