LOOK WHAT WE DID!!

It seemed like everyone was going out and having fun, so I asked the tall guy if he would take me back up to the lake.  AND HE DID!  Sometimes he's a pretty good guy.  Although I got a bit excited when we got there and just about broke his neck when we were trying to get to the water!  I'll have to work on that or we won't get to go back :(

I had to stay on my string because there were a lot of people there fishing and the tall guy was afraid that I would try to go up and say hello to them.

We saw ducks!

And then we went to the ski area where all the snow used to be.  

Someone must have borrowed it, because it's all gone now.

 

I don't know why he wanted to take a picture of a flower, but here it is!

We had a pretty cool day.

We left the windows down so I could dry off on the way home.

And now I don't even stink! 

===

On another note, the tall guy still needs about 5 more recipes for the cook book.

Please send them to jacksdad2011@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Look at what I got in the mail!

 

(Inside it says:

Lab results are in and you did great!)

See, all the dogs are LABS,

so it's like a play on words!

An extra-nice friend of the tall guys sent it to us

because of the book.

Wasn't that cool?

Well, she is just like that to everyone.

But wait, there's more!!

Her granddaughter, Erin, decided that they should send

me some toys.

Look at what she picked out for me:

A flying fish.

Much like the flying duck you've seen before

AND

a red chew bone.

Actually she sent me two of them.

This one lasted almost 5 minutes!

The other one is hidden away for a special occasion.

(I'm told that special occasion means when I'm driving the tall guy crazy.

We seem to have a lot of special occasions around here!)

So, thank you very much

Erin and Lynn for all my stuff.

PS:  That wire you see behind my head in the last picture

is the cable wire that the people who owned the house

before the tall guy put in.

Why they put it on the wall, no one knows,

but now we can't take it down

because there will be a whole bunch of holes in the wall.

So, don't be putting no wires on the wall of your house.

My New Career

"Jack" Williams

I've decided to start a new career:

country-western singer.

I'm working on some new songs:

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Bark"

"Brown Eyes Crying in the Rain"

"Kaw-Licka"

"Howlin' at the Moon"

and, my favorite,

"Your Cheating Bark"

What do you think?

May 21, 2011

It's time to take a nap...

I'm dreaming about all those people who are going to send me a recipe for the doggy cookbook!

May 20, 2011

You weren't trying to make up the bed, 

were you?

How come your side of the bed feels so much softer than mine?

And how come it's all warm?  My side of the bed is always cold.

Are you making me sleep on an ice cube?

Is that what it is?

It's ok, I'll move back to my side when you're ready to get in bed.

Honest I will!

May 19, 2011

I Got A Mohawk!

Evidently after I get a bath, I have a mohawk on my back.  So I guess it's a back-hawk.  It only sticks up for a little while until I sleep on it.  On the other hand, the tall guy gets a really bad case of the bedhead when he wakes up in the morning.  He won't let me put a picture of that on here.   But trust me, it's pretty scary!!

 Do You Have A
Non-Fur Kid?

Do you know someone who would fall into the child category?

Were you a child when you were young?

When you are trying to watch the teevees,
does some small human bean keep interrupting you
to tell you that they are bored because

you only watch old people television shows like

Hawaii Five-O and The Big Bang Theory?

If so, you should get my new children's book:

"Is This Your Ball?"

Available today for the Kindle*

on the Amazons.

You can get it by clicking 

HERE!

It's like a mystery with balls!

Here's what it is about:

Jack (that's me), the dog (that's me too), tries to help a young boy find his baseball. As Jack (me) looks, he finds lots of different kinds of balls until he finally finds the right one! You'll love reading this book along with your kids. An early reader children's book, written for children aged 3 - 6.

*PS - If you don't have a Kindle, you can get the free Kindle app for your computer or phone  HERE. It's pretty neat!  If you don't have a computer, you can get the Kindle Cucumber app.  You won't be able to read any books, but you'll get some really funny looks at the grocery store, walking around looking at your cucumber!

May 14, 2011

Well, he FINALLY got back home.

Something about storms, planes, turbulence, thought he was gonna die, blah, blah, blah.  I stopped listening after he said he didn't bring me anything.

But then I made him take me on an extra long guilt walk this morning.  Nothing better than getting a long drink of water when you're out on a guilt walk.  Even if you're not thirsty!

On another note, if you remember, we said we were going to give away a $25.00 gift certificate to Amazon this week.  Well, we did the drawing and the winner is:

ROTTROVER

And since it is such fun to give away the tall guy's moneys,

the winner of the surprise second place unannounced drawing

$15.00 Amazon gift certificate is

ANAKIN MAN

Oh what the heck.

The winner of the $10.00 completely just now decided drawing

Amazon gift certificate is

 MINNA KREBS

So, after fees, handling and taxes,  the winners will each get their .03¢ gift certificates in the mail as soon as...
What?  You mean we're not including fees, handling and taxes?  You mean they get the whole entire amount?  Well I wish I had known that.  I would have entered myself!!

So, as soon as the tall guy gets back from the grocery store, I'll have him email each of the winners with their prizes!!

Here's hoping that everyone has a great weekend.

Oh, and get ready for another announcement on Monday! :)  (No, I am not getting no brother or sister - you can just get that idea out of your heads!)

And send me MORE RECIPES! :)

May 11, 2011

I did not even want to go to
no old Tonio anyway!

The tall guy has gone off to somewhere called Tonio and he did not even take me with him.
He left me here at the house all by myself and I do not even know how to work the microwave!

And he thinks it's ok because I get to go to the dog hotel and play with the other dogs all day.  Well, mister, you got another think coming!!

Just wait 'til he gets home.

(And don't forget to send me your dog recipes!)

May 9, 2011

Looking at the puppies

Yesterday was such a nice day, we went to the park, sat in the shade and looked at all the puppies.  (This was just the "walking around" park, not the "getting to play with the other dogs" park.)

We had such a good time that we hope that today is a "puppy looking day" for you!

It was also a "stick eating day", but I don't think many of you would care to have a "stick eating day".  Although I'm told that it does provide roughage.  All I know is it gives the tall guy a reason to practice saying "Drop it!" like 800 times a minute.  He's gotten so good at it, he doesn't even need to use the vowels anymore, so it ends up being more like "DRPT!".  Which is completely different than his "UHN" sound, which is what he uses when he gets tired of his "NO" sound.  Which is a lot.

On another note, the tall guy wanted me to say "A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU" to everybody in the world.  On Friday, we sold the 1000th copy of my book at Amazon.  So, to celebrate, we want to give away something (not a copy of the book, since most of you already have that).  So, if you leave a comment on any of the blog posts between now and Friday at 5:00, you have a chance to win a $25.00 gift card from Amazon.  Just think of all the dog toys you could buy with that!

And we're still collecting dog recipes for the dog cook book!!

May 6, 2011

Watch This!

Now that's just mean!

May 5, 2011

Let's Raise Some Moneys!!

Hey peoples and puppies, get your recipes in to the Tall Guy so we can raise lots of money to give away!!

Send your favorite dog recipes to the Tall Guy at jacksdad2011@gmail.com

For more info, look here:  http://dailydoseofjack.blogspot.com/2011/05/may-3-2011.html 

PS - Don't worry.  I'm not losing my hair.  It's supposed to be a wig, but it is really one of the Tall Guy's socks that I like to chew on.  He even tied knots in the end so he said it was ok if I played with this one.  

PPS - Be thankful it's not his underwears!

Please, Tall Guy, I Want Some More

It's RECIPE time!

The tall guy says he's ready to start putting together the cookbook of recipes FOR and BY dogs (and feline puppies).  So here is what he needs for you to do.  Please read carefully or he will go crazy and then I will have to come and live with one of you!

1.  Please send your recipe(s) to jacksdad2011@gmail.com

2.  Please let him know if it is a REAL recipe for a pet or a recipe that your DOG wrote.
I know he should be able to tell, but if you ever tasted his cooking, you would understand where I'm coming from!  It would be cool if you have both a real recipe and a dog recipe, but either one is ok.  You can send as many recipes as you want, but please make sure they are yours.

3.  Please put the name of the dish at the beginning of the recipe.

4.  Please put the name YOU want to be listed by.  For example, the tall guy might put: Jack's Cookies by The Tall Guy.  (That is just an example, because if it is not a peanut butter sandwich or popcorn, he is not much in the cooking department.)  It can be your real name if you want it to be.

5.  If you want to include a picture of anything to go along with your recipe(s), please include that as well.  You can have a picture of what you cooked, a picture of your pet eating whatever it is you cooked, or just a picture of your car.  Just as long as it is a picture that you took and didn't get from the Internets.

The tall guy will take all the recipes and turn it into an ebook and put it on Amazon for sale.  ALL OF THE MONEY (except for the part that Amazon takes) will be donated to a worthy cause (be thinking of someone or some organization we can donate it to!).

You will still own your recipe.  You can do whatever you want with it. You can send it to your friends, send it to another cookbook, or even use it in your OWN cookbook.  By submitting the recipe, you are basically just saying that it's ok to put it in THIS cookbook.

The tall guy said he will send you an email to let you know that he got your recipe.  Once he has enough of them, he will let everyone know when the book is ready.  If you submit a recipe, he said he will send you a free copy of the ebook.  If you have any questions, please send him an email at jacksdad2011@gmail.com.

SO LET'S GET COOKING!!!

May 1, 2011

It's Just Like Pulling Teefs!!

 

Sometimes the tall guy just does not want to go outside

and play.  Something about 120 degrees being too hot!

I told him we can always get up at 4AM to go play.

He said anytime I wanted to get up at 4AM to go play,

he would give me the car keys and let me go wherever I wanted!

So are you ready for a

ROAD TRIP?

I think this guy might like to go with me:

He's too cool for school!

And don't forget to get your recipes ready.

The tall guy said he would give out all

the information on Tuesday.

(If you do not have no idea what I'm talking about,

look HERE.)

AND ON A COMPLETELY NOTHER NOTHER NOTE:

The tall guy would like to know if anyone has access to a 

3 - 5 year old human bean.  He is working on a kid's book

and would like to see what they think about it.

Thank you!

I think if I had a human bean,

I would name them Pinto.

Just because :)

April 28, 2011

Can I Have Some Of That?

The tall guy was reading Da Puddles blog the other day and came up with an idea (which, much like the hair growing on his head, happens less and less each day).

To all the dogs, puppies and feline puppies of the world:

What would you think of doing a cookbook that has recipes FOR dogs and (wait for it, here's the big part) BY dogs (and feline puppies) too?  This would be a recipe book that both you and your peoples write.

A lot of peoples cook things for their fur-iends that look and taste really good, so that part would probably be pretty easy.  And, like Da Puddles, I'm sure that some of you could come up with some pretty tasty recipes too. (But no poop.  I don't think we need any poop recipes!)  I have some of my favorite recipes in my book, but I don't think it would be stealing if I used one of them again. 

If we can come up with like 30-50 recipes, the tall guy said he would put them all together and make it into an ebook and put it on Amazon.  Then we can give ALL the money we make to a good cause.  We can have your names and your picture in the book and everything.

So if you would like to help raise some money for someone (we can decide who after we see if there's enough interest), just leave a comment below.  If you know someone who doesn't read blogs, but might like to help, leave a comment below too.

From the tall guy:
I think it would be fun to do a 'cookbook' that features recipes for dogs as well as recipes that are written BY dogs (and feline puppies of course, Madi and Oz!).  If it is done as an ebook, there is basically no cost and then all the money raised would go to a good cause.  I figure we would need about 20-25 "real" recipes and an equal number of "dog-i-pees" (which are recipes written by dogs and not anything to do with pee).  So, if you are interested, please let me know.  Do not leave any recipes yet - I'll contact you and let you know where to send your recipes.  Thank you!!

I Am Being Tortured!!

Do you see this thing?
No, not the arrow.
The thing I'm wearing that the 
arrow is pointing to.
The torturer guy says it's called
an Easy-Walk.

Easy-walk my behind!!

More like a "Make it easier for the tall guy

to drag me away from a good smell" walk

if you ask me!


Oh, I almost forgot.
The tall guy asked me to ask you to
come by on Thursday if you can.
He wants to ask you something.
I don't know what it is.
He never tells me anything!

April 23, 2011

There is a very small chance 

that I might very soon possibly

BE SLIGHTLY FAMOUS!!

No, the people from Ellen didn't call*.  BUT, when the tall guy and I were out playing, the GOOGLE map car** drove by us two times.  And then when we went home, the GOOGLE map car drove by us again.

So, one day soon, you might be able to see me and the tall guy on the GOOGLES!!  

I hope my hair looked good!

*  Ellen, we can be in LA in about 8 hours.  Just say the word!

**  Just in case you are wondering, the GOOGLE map car is a car that drives around taking pictures to put on the street view of Google maps.  It's actually a Volkswagen Beetle with the words 'Google maps' written on the side and a big red camera thingy on top!

 

April 21, 2011

 And I did not even get drowned!

OH MY GOODNESS!

Do you know about this?

There is something called a 'swimming pool' that you can actually play in the water, and no one will even tell you to get out!  I did not even know about such a thing.  The only swimming pool I knew about was the little one that we had in the back yard.  But this is a really big one that your feets CAN NOT EVEN TOUCH THE BOTTOM!!

We went to a place called Sabino Canyon Pet Resort

and they have a swimming pool just for dogs! 

Well, I guess cats could use it too, if they wanted to!

It was so amazing that it was amazingly amazing!

I was a little confused at first, because I had never seen no real swimming pool!

But then I got used to it, and boy was I glad. It was like taking a bath but you could move around in the water!

The swimming pool is shaped like a bone.

How cool is THAT!!

The tall guy was throwing the tennis ball in the water and I would go in and get it for him. Just like we do at the park, except wet!

(The tall guy got a little wet too, but he didn't seem to mind.  He didn't get in the swimming pool, but some of my water might have gotten on him when I was drying off!)

If you come to visit me, maybe we can go play in the pool together!!

So I would like to say "THANK YOU!" to the nice people at the  Sabino Canyon Pet Resort for letting me play in their pool! I hope I get to come back really soon!

A Little Something

To Help Your Day Go By

Did you see the grass that the tall guy bought me?
Just because he LOVES me!!

April 16, 2011

THANK YOU!

A gigantically big "Thank You!" to everyone 
who helped raise money for Khyra's mom 
rescue transports this week.
As the tall guy says to me
(sometimes)
"GOOD BOY!"

If I could, I would come to your house

and make you a pie!

April 15, 2011

Well, I never!!

First it was Cesar Milan and now it's this:

I wonder if you could use Madi's cat fur to knit a dog?

That would be really ironical!*

And don't forget:

You can use your tax refund

to help Khyra's mom

on her transports

by buying one of my books!

* Just to clarify.  I did not write the 'Knit Your Own Dog" book.
It is like #2 on the Amazon books about dogs!
Cesar Milan is like #1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 92.

April 14, 2011

Ain't This Just About

The Coolest Thing You've Ever Seen?

Thank you to the Kissa-bulls and their whole entire pack, 

especially their newest human puppy, JR!

April 13, 2011

Did I Get Some Brownies?

No, siree, bobtail,

I did not even get no brownies!

I did not even get to lick the bowl.

Stupid brownies!

Don't forget to tell all your friends

to buy my book so we can help 

Khyra's mom with her rescues.

We're doing pretty good so far!

I wonder if SHE would like a brownie?

April 12, 2011

I've got a secret!

I don't always sit still for my pictures!!
There.  I said it!
Surely you didn't think I would leave that ball there without tasting it did you?

On a happier note,
thank you for buying my book

so that we can help Khyra's mom!

We've got 3 days

of the Drive-a-thon left!!

Jack, what ARE you talking about?

Most of you know Khyra

 

and Khyra's mom

and you know what an amazing job

she does helping dogs

and puppies get to their new

forever homes.

So, I asked the tall guy

and he said that he would give

$1.00 for every book he sells

this week to say

"Thank you, Khyra and Khyra's mom!"

to help them buy gas for their transports.

(I told him that it might be better

if they bought gas for their car,

but he just gave me the stink-eye!)

So, if a million people buy my book,

we can give them a million dollars!

Since most of you have already got a copy,

please tell your bloggy friends, neighbors,

and in-laws to go get a copy.

They don't even have to read it,

(although I think they will like it if they do)!

PS: Khrya's mom is not really a car.

PPS:  Some of you have asked about

a hard copy of my book.

Unfortunately, we are gived and sold-ed out

of them.  And since they cost SO much

to print, we will have to wait a while

until 1) I get offered a movie deal or

2) the Ellen show calls and we get

to go talk to her which will help us

sell 40 gazillion copies.  So if anyone

knows Ellen, please tell her that

we are waiting by the phone

for her people to call my people...

er... person...uh.. the Tall Guy!

PPPS:  Angus said I was more

of a Jon Stewart type of guy.

I don't think he's ever had

any dogs on his show.

So, if you know Jon Stewart,

tell him that I'm waiting for his call!

Or Stephen Colbert will do too! :)

It has come to my attention...

that some puppies do not have any balls to play with!

Maybe they were taken away when they were younger.

Or maybe someone stoled them!

Well, if ever come to my house,

there are lots of balls to play with.

Because evidently I have some kind of

special gift when it comes to finding baseballs.

I found 3 at the park the other day.

So, if you're ever just looking

for a pick-up game of baseball,

and need some baseballs

with which to play,

I got about 80 dozen.

April 8, 2011

Well, Blimey!!

This is a very strange looking baseball!

Did you know in England

they do not have any balls?

They have something called bollocks.

So, I guess they play

basebollocks.

Well, now you know!

April 6, 2011

HA HA HA!!!

He thinks he can run away from me!!
I will just eat his brains!!


Oh and here is another reason
why you should not give
your dog a bath:

Win A Call from Jack!

If you're the 1000th person to purchase "Jack: A book about a dog where the dog doesn't die at the end" from Amazon, you could win a 10 minute phone call from Jack! Of course, he won't say much but he's a really good listener.
