Well, what do we have here?

Who needs scissors?
(Well I guess I do
if I want to get in here without
destroying whatever it is inside!)

Hey, tall guy.
What does this say?
(Don't let Madi see it!)

Brown is a my favorite color,
especially when it has something wrapped in it.

Oh look!
It's a new necklace!
(Tee-hee!)

No, not really.
I know what to do with it!

And there's even a toothbrush that you can eat.
(How did you know that the vegetarian
said I should brush my teeths every day?)

And the tall guy said I was silly talking about my birthday so early! :)

Thank you Madi and Mom for my presents!
You are super-cool!

Hey, look at what this
crazy puppy is doing!

Hi, my name is Jack
and I'm a plast-aholic.

I can't help myself.
I just love chewing on anything plastic,
especially bottles.

I don't EAT it.
I'm not THAT crazy!

The way I look at it:
It's not the leather couch!

or THIS!

Surprises!
Surprises!
Surprises!

Did you ever notice how big Jim Nabors' head is? :)

The tall guy said there used to be a show on the teevees and the main guy used to say "Surprise, surprise, surprise!" all the time. I asked him if that was all he said, because that would get pretty annoying really fast and he said No, that the guy said other things and I said, well that's good.

What does that have to do with today?
Just look!

When we got home the other day, there was a huge box waiting for us next to the door. I was so excited, I didn't even try to eat the paper this time, because I could tell there was something AMAZING in the box. (But to be honest, I did try to eat the box.)

Look at all of this stuff. I felt like I had won The Price Is Right, with Bob BARK-er :)


COOL FAZOOL! It's a new WUBBA. For some reason, all my Wubbas seem to develop holes in them rather quickly, so I don't get to play with them very much.


But wait, why is the Wubba sitting on the floor all by itself? Could it be???


YES! Food, glorious food. And not just one kind, thousands of different kinds of foods (well 3 different kinds).


MMMMMM, smell that aroma. (The tall guy gets this look on his face when he walks through the coffee grinders aisle at the grocery store, even though he doesn't drink coffee!)



You knew there had to be a catch didn't you. So now we have to practice our 'WAIT'. I think I did pretty good. One second is a long time to wait!

And who was being so nice and sent us all these goodies (there was a lot more stuff, but the pictures didn't come out very well). Did you guess Ms. ~K and Sassy, Zack and Buddy (and possibly Hubby)? Well, you are a very good guesser then. So, the tall guy and I would like to take this opportunity to say "A million thanks you's" to our friends from back East. You are sweeter than Old Fashion Peach Butter!! :)

And stay off my lawn too!

August 2, 2010

And I didn't even get no oatmeal either!

I am telling you - the tall guy goes to this place where they make oatmeals and he gets it for breakfast and they put stuff like bananas and blackberries and blueberries in it, and not only did I not get any bananas or blackberries or blueberries, but I didn't even get no oatmeal either!

Does Your Butt Have A Mind
Of Its Own?
or
Does Your Tail Tell A Tale?
(Wow, that was good!)

I don't know what it is with my tail.
It just seems to do whatever it wants to do.
Sometimes it's straight, sometimes it's curly.

Sometimes it seems to think I'm a pig,
and just decides to corkscrew.

And to top it off,
after I woke up this morning,
for some odd reason,
my tail just started wagging
and inadvertently hit the tall guy
in the face a few dozen times.
Needless to say,
some people are grumpy when
they first wake up.

July 31, 2010

It's time to play
WHAT'S YOUR GUESS?

The fabulous new game show* in which you
try to guess what I'm looking at.

So here we go.

Looking, looking, looking.
What am I looking at?
(Only one answer per household please.)

Did you guess clouds?

Well that would be silly, since I'm looking down!

Time's up!
Thanks for playing!

If only you had guessed
BALL!

Yes, I'm waiting for the tall guy
to throw the ball already!!

And I'm off!

Oops, ran a little too far that time!

I'm getting much better about bringing the ball back
to the tall guy so he can throw it again.

Unless there is shade nearby.

Then I am very good at CHEWING the ball!

Have a good weekend!

*Game show void for any contestant with a vowel in their name.
Only those 115 or older may participate.
Kids, get your parent's permission before you play!
Value of all prizes will be less than 1/20¢.
What? There weren't any prizes?
Well, then EVERYONE'S A WINNER!!

25 Days!!

oh, and a cactus

July 29, 2010

And now, a message for those going hiking!

SNAKES!!!
(not on a plane,
on the ground)

Always be on the lookout for snakes when you are outside.
Even at the grocery store or when you are getting ice cream!

Did I ever tell you about my version training?
Well, if I did, I'm gonna tell you again.

Evidently if you live in the West,
you should do something called
'RADDLESNAKE VERSION TRAINING'.

So one morning, the tall guy and I got in the car,
and went to this ladies house.
Evidently she has raddlesnakes.
I think she would be better off with kittens,
but who am I to judge?

Anyway, when you do the raddlesnake version,
you have to look at a raddlesnake in a cage.
And then he starts shaking his butt.
And when he started shaking his butt,
he looks you in the eye
and he ZAPS!!! you with his super-scary
RADDLESNAKE power!
I'm telling you, it felt like I had stuck my tongue
in an electrical outlet.
I was NOT a happy camper,
but I learned that when you hear
a raddlesnake's butt,
you should stay as far away from it as possible.
Evidently, it can control you with its mind
and then you will end up in big trouble!

So, be careful out there, ok?

(And if you don't believe me,
look at Ms. ~K's blog post here:

July 28, 2010

Hey, you!!
Don't you be rolling your eyes at me!

I mean what does it take to get a puppy
to play with you around here?
Besides, maybe my back is itching,
did you stop to think about that? Huh?

Watch me do this!!!
Watch me!!
Can you do this too?
Can you?

Ok, I give up!

July 27, 2010

If You're Happy!!

Everybody sing:

If you're happy and you know it, stick out your tongue!
If you're happy and you know it, stick out your tongue!
If you're happy and you know it,
then your tongue will surely show it!
If you're happy and you know it, stick out your tongue!!

School Pictures

The tall guy told me when he was in school, a guy would come around once a year and take his picture and then his mom would have to decide how many of them she wanted to buy. He said she almost always bought one big one and one sheet with 9 pictures on it. I know, I just about fell asleep when he told me the story too.

Anyway, as you can see above, the tall guy tends to take a LOT of pictures at one time. The ones above were taken in about 3 minutes. I guess it's a good thing my mom doesn't have to buy my pictures or she would have to get 3 jobs!

I also think it's a good thing that the tall guy isn't a school photographer because then instead of 9 pictures you would have a sheet with 40 pictures on it, each one about the size of a postage stamp. I guess each one would come with its own magnifying glass!

July 25, 2010

Well...

At least THIS show has puppies in it!

PS - Just to prove it's REALLY me
and that I have not become a puppy of the night:

I think someone took a picture when I was moving my head!

July 24, 2010

Vampires & Werewolves...
You know what this movie is missing?

That's right.
Happy puppies!

I think there should be at least
ONE happy puppy in every movie.


PS - Sorry to all the Edward fans.
He just had the biggest head :)

PPS - The tall guy made me put that part about Edward in.
He said otherwise there would be a riot.

July 23, 2010

Are you kidding me?

First you put a picture of me sleeping on here
and now you put this?
You do know there are children reading this don't you?

But now, for your viewing enjoyment:

AND while I'm asleep!!

Thank you.

I WAS ROBBED!!

Here I was, just sitting down,
minding my own business, chewing on a stick...

when all of a sudden...

Well, as you may be able to tell,
I was shocked.
SHOCKED I tell you!

Well, I've always heard that if you're getting robbed,
just give the robbers what they want and let them go.
So that's what I did!

And now look...

I guess some people just have no respect
for other people's property.
He said he got it on Craigslist.
Yeah right!

Do You Want To See Something
DISGUSTING?

No, not me!
I'm just looking at the disgusting thing!

We were out at the park and we saw these two beautiful birds.
The tall guy said he's pretty sure they are hawks.
If you look closely, you can see they have been banded.
That does not mean they are in a musical group.
It just means that someone is watching out for them!

Are you ready for the disgusting?

YUCK!
If you look carefully,
you can see that this hawk
has caught something and has

EAT ITS HEAD!!!

Here's hoping you don't have to eat
heads for YOUR lunch today!

Some Random Thoughts
by Jack
(with help from the Tall Guy)

Some puppies do not look good wet.
Labradors, on the other hand,
look fantastically amazing when they are wet.

It takes a saguaro cactus about 75 years
before it develops 'arms'.
When it starts to develop legs and feet,
then we should worry.

The tall guy would like some help if you can.
Can you identify these birds?
(And no, neither one of them is named 'Fred')
These were out at the local park.

Why does this bird have that one yellow feather?

He doesn't know what this one is either,
but he likes the red cap on its head.

Thank you
and have a great Sunday.
Eat lots of pie!

July 17, 2010

Does anyone have an air hose?

I think this puppy has sprung a leak
and needs to be re-inflated!

(Actually, he* is fine, he* was just resting after running around!)

(*Thanks Ninny!)

SPECIAL SCIENCE REPORT

Tall Guy Has Ability To
Manipulate Time!!

Dateline: USA

In what has turned out to be a startling turn of events, I've discovered that the Tall Guy has developed the ability to alter the course of time. The discovery of the 'Justaminute' phenomenon allows him to keep doing whatever he wants to do while I have to sit around waiting for him. Evidently, this 'Justaminute' ability allows him to stretch the concept of 'a minute' into any length of time that he wants. For example, we were supposed to go on a walk this morning, but he got on the computer and was reading something about someone who did something somewhere. When I reminded him that I was ready to go on my walk, he zapped me with his 'Justaminute', which signaled to me that I might as well sit down and plan on being here for a while. Unfortunately, the 'Justaminute' situation can last anywhere from an actual minute to 23 years, so I can't just leave and come back and see if he's ready. So, there you have it. Hopefully, the 'Justaminute-itis' has not spread to your house yet!!
