I'm So Excited.

Are you ready to see a preview of my book?

Here you go:

Yes, my very own bar cold!!

Isn't that a hoot and a half?
Oh, what's that?
You want to see an actual something?
Well, that's the actual bar cold.
Oh, you mean you want to see something
that is more book-y.

How about the cover?

Here you go:

Yep, that's me.
Right on the cover.
If you click on it, it should make it big
enough so that you can read it!

The little picture is the back cover.
I don't know why they do it backwards like that
but they do.

So now you can see the title of the book:
Jack - A book about a dog where the dog doesn't
die at the end

I think that's a pretty cool title.
Anytime I don't die at the end is a good thing!
I'll write more about the book next time.
(We're still waiting for the postmans to bring
the hard copies of the book.
There may even be a CONTEST!)

Don't Even Ask!!

I think we've all gone a bit bonkers around here.

The tall guy is running around in bags from Amazon and I'm chewing the box that it covered! We bought an extra heater in case the heat went out like it did a few weeks ago!

BUT, on a happily note, the tall guy says he has finished my book. He showed it to a couple of people and they were laughing out loud, so I guess that's a good thing. Unless it's the part where they shouldn't be laughing and then, that's not so good.

He is going to send it off and get some actual real books made out of it and he said he's also got an E-dition for those of you who can read that.

We'll let you know when everything is ready!

See What I Have To Put Up With?

He thinks he's the Blue Man Group!

February 14, 2011

It's not true!!

Someone left a comment that said I was a cereal killer.
I'm not no cereal killer.
I only get to eat about 4 Cheerios
when the tall guy is having his breakfast.
I hardly think that qualifies
in the killer category!

Oh, I almost forgot:
HAPPY VALENTIME'S DAY!!!

I HOPE YOU GET LOTS OF LOVE!

This is Jack!

He is a very friendly lab puppy that
I have been playing with at the park.
He is about 8 months old.
He's a mess.

But everyone knows there can only be one Jack.

So I had to eat him!

February 8, 2011

No I am not drunk!

I was just in the middle of falling asleep.

The tall guy said he is sorry he hasn't been online
much lately to write on all your blogs.
We did not have NO HEAT for 4 days and
we did not have NO WATER for 2 days.

It got very very cold, but the gas company
came and fixed the heat over the weekend.
There were about 14000 houses without gas
and the gas company had to go to each one
of them to turn the gas back on to make
sure no one got blowed up!

So we were cold and stinky and had to
go to the grocery store to go to the bathroom.
Well, the tall guy did.
I just did my normal thing.

Would You Please Be Quiet?

We have like 40 bazillion birds that live out in the bush in front of our house. And boy are they noisy. Here's one of them:

If you know how to talk bird, would you please tell them to hush? I'm sun-bathing!

Oh, the tall guy wanted me to ask you if any of you used an e-reader and, if so, which one do you use. I asked him if he meant an e-raser, but he said no, he means things like an iPad or a Kindle. Evidently he can fix my book to where you can read it without having a book!

He said he is also looking into making a hard copy of my book for people who don't have an e-reader. He's looking at a place called DiggyPod and wanted me to ask if anyone had used that company (or any company that makes books).

Oh, and he said to say thank you to everyone who told him about all the words. He said he would use as many of them as he could.

I told him he had too many questions and it was making my head hurt.

Oh, by the way, you should see the cover of my book. It is the most beautiful cover I have ever seen!

January 31, 2011

Now let's see you go without me!

I have decided that if I lay down in front of the garage door, the tall guy can't leave home without me. But sometimes I fall asleep and he goes out the back door, crawls over the fence, leaps the moat and sneaks out that way.

Maybe I should just buy one of those tracking collars and put on him!

(And just so you won't worry - I don't really get to sleep in front of the garage door. I just like to go out there when the tall guy is getting the mail or working in the front yard. He said there is no way he would ever leave me out there by myself, because I might get interested in a smell 16 miles away and try to go see what it is!)

On another note (E flat perhaps?), I would like to know how many words do you like to read in a book. If you will let me know how many words you like to read, I'll make sure that he doesn't put in too many! And if you have a favorite word, let him know that too. Unless it's a dirty word - we can't put any dirty words in the book. Except 'poop'. We're using 'poop' a lot!

Labrador retriever named most popular dog in US
By Associated Press

The American Kennel Club says the Labrador retriever is the most popular dog in America for the 20th straight year.

Well I can certainly see why!!

January 25, 2010

If Remington can do it...

so can I!

How do you like my new hair color?
It's 'Just For Dogs' #42 - Foxy Orange.

January 21, 2011

I'll just be over here
out of the way
for a while

It seems that someone went to the Costcos and bought some new towels to replace the ones that had somehow developed chew holes in them.

And then someone left them on the counter while he went to finish unloading the car.

And then SOMEHOW one of the new towels just happened to end up on the floor.

So I just HAPPENED to be LOOKING at it when SOMEONE came back in the house and pitched a hissy fit.

So, I'm just gonna go sit over here by myself for a while.

(Oh, and the tall guy said to tell you he's almost finished with the first chapter of his....er.... my book. It's all about the first day I came to live with him. So, if he does one chapter for every day - James Michener eat your heart out!)

January 17, 2010

ASK!!

and you shall receive:

That's Ms. ~K just in case you didn't recognize her.
She's the one with the hat!

January 14, 2011

I'm Serious!

First, I want you to go watch this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEnKecdefIo

Go ahead. I'll wait....

(wait, wait, wait)

Back?

Good.

Is that dog crazy?

Helping with the housework??

If the tall guy ever sees that video,
I'll never get any rest around here.

He already makes me vacuum the floors
and wash the windows.

Well, he makes me move when he's vacuuming
and sometimes I put my wet nose on the windows,
but still. It's exhausting!

So, I think we should all make a pact!
Next time your peoples asks you to take out the garbage
or make the bed, just say these six magic words:

I'm too cute to do housework!

(Here's a picture to put on your blog
if you need to remind them!)

More Fun in the Snow!

I know that some of you are pretty darn tired of snow by now.
So if you will indulge me for just a little bit more.

Oh no, I'm not laughing at you
because you fell down in the snow.
I'm laughing WITH you
because you fell down in the snow!

Snow Butt.
The best kind.
You end up with a lot of these kind of pictures
when you run faster than the person
trying to take your picture.

Cold feets. Cold feets!!

Waiting for the tall guy to throw the snow ball.

This is a LOT EASIER with the baseballs
we usually play with!

January 7, 2010

Sorry Khyra.

I think we got your snow by mistake!

We got to go play in the snow today. It was great!
Since there wasn't anyone around, I even got to run
without my string
(until I forgot to come back when the tall guy
called me. Then I got re-strung.)

I even tried eating some of the snow!

Yuck, this snow tastes funny.
I think someone has urinated on it.

Oh wait.
I guess that was me!


So let that be a lesson to all of you.
There is no 'P' in 'SNOW'.
Unless I've been there.

January 4, 2010

I'm so sorry I've been gone.
I had to take a bath.

Some puppies do not like to take a bath, but I do. Especially when I get to use the non-whirlpool whirlpool tub. There are just a few things you need to remember.
1) Do not drink the water coming out of the spigot because then you won't have any water if the shampoo gets in your eyes.
2) Do not let the shampoo get into your eyes or you will not be able to see and then you could bust your head on the spigot.
3) Do not worry. You are too big to go down the drain. Although the tall guy says from the look of all the hair that is left in the tub, most of me DID go down the drain.
4) Wait before you jump out of the tub, because the floor is really wet. How did the floor get wet? I have no idea, because when I was shaking, I made sure that all the water stayed in the tub.
5) If your peoples have any sense, they are half nekkid when they are giving you a bath. This is a good time to take pictures if you have access to the camera, so they will have to give you extra cookies so you won't put the pictures online.
6) Eat the towels is especially fun. The peoples think they are drying you off, but they are really playing keep-away with the towels!

And finally, if you are REALLY lucky, right after you have your bath, you can run outside and roll around in the 'grass' to get dried off. Just remember, rocks does NOT equal grass!!

On another note, the tall guy has not written even one book yet! He said he's organizing his thoughts. I think he just wanted to use the computer to watch the Hulu.

My New Year's Revolution
by Jack

I have been told that this is my New Year's Revolution. I will not discuss WHOM told me this.

My New Year's Revolution - as dictated to me, Jack

I hereby resolve not to bark at the tall guy to try to get him out of bed when he is asleep early in the morning. Unless there is a fire. And by fire, I mean that the house is on fire and that something is burning. Fire does not mean that it is warmer inside the house than outside. Fire does not also mean that I am bored and/or hungry and want the tall guy to get up and do something about it. The End.

Now for the announcement I announced last week.

The tall guy says that I have run out of stuff to say, especially when I am trying to say it every day. Actually, he said I ran out of stuff to say about a year ago, but that's another story. He also said that he wants to start using the computer because he wants to TRY (he said I must emphasize the word TRY) to write a book about me. He said he wants to write a book about a dog where the dog doesn't die at the end. I told him as long as he spells my name correctly that he has my permission. He said I can keep posting, just not every day, because we are poor and it costs money to buy all the vowels that I am using. I think he got hit on the head when he was watching Wheel Of Fortune.

So, there you have it. 805 posts. One for every day so far that the tall guy and I have been together. I've had a great time. So check back next week and see what I did while you were gone. Don't forget me, ok?

We hope you have a wonderful new year and that all your new year wishes and dreams come true.

Until I can get back on the computer again, I shall remain ever your friend.

Jack

SNAIL!!!

It is so cold today, I decided just to stay inside and sleep!

We finally got some wet stuff.
It was both snow and hail so I'm gonna call it SNAIL!
There's a bunch of snow up on the mountains,
but it snowed SO much,
they had to close the road up to where we go to play.
So we can't go up there yet!
Hopefully next week.
I'll make sure runny-nose guy
takes his camera with him this time!

PS: He said he tried to get a picture with his phone
while he was driving,
but the guy behind him was not at all appreciative
of the winter panorama
and pointed at him.
With his middle finger.

But here's the picture he got anyway:

December 30, 2010

Finally!

I finally talked the tall guy into taking me back to the puppy park since we haven't been in a couple of weeks (something about him having near-pneumonia, which I told him wasn't even a medical condition). So after he blowed his nose for about 3 hours this morning, we got in the car and went.

You might think that this picture shows me playing at the puppy park, but it's not true. Someone (the guy with the runny nose) forgot to bring his camera, so this is a picture of me at the local park the other day.

If he HAD brought the camera, this would be a picture of me playing catch with the Fribsee. I even caught it in the air FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. That would've been a really cool picture!


If he had brought his camera, here you would see me playing with one of the really cool puppies. She could run really fast and this would have been a picture of me jumping all the way over her when she suddenly stopped. It would have been a great picture!


And finally, here would be a picture of me playing in the water at the park and then rolling around in the dirt. Boy, was I a mess. It was really funny. You would have laughed for the rest of the day, let me tell you!



By the way, I hope that none of your peoples did not get 'The Big Bang Theory' Season 1, 2 AND 3 DVDs for Christmas or you won't ever get to go anywhere again. Just saying.

December 29, 2010

I'm Bored!!

May I please have some of my Christmas toys that you took away and put up on top of the refrigerator so I wouldn't tear them up the day that I got them? I promise I'll be very very gentle with them and not tear off any of their faces!

Maybe just an eye.

Or an ear. Just one ear.

Please!!!!!!

December 28, 2010

Well, they were fun
while they lasted.

You might remember the Santa (from a few days ago).

We had to say goodbye to him pretty quickly.

So with that sentiment in mind, let's also say goodbye to

Ropey-Bally thing:

Purpley Kongy thing:

Redy Kongy thing:

Yep, 4 toys gone in one day! I have a tendency to go through some toys pretty fast. Primarily the ones the tall guy gives me to play with when he's working on the computer. I think this should be a lesson to all the peoples. Toys last longer when there's two playing with them!

PS - Yesterday was my 800th blog post thing on here. Well, actually the tall guy was helping me some when I first got here, but then I got the hang of it! The tall guy said there was going to be something called a 'nouncement' on New Year's Day. If I find out what it is, I'll let you know just as soon as I do!

December 27, 2010

Stuff I Got For Christmas

I got a ball.

And the box it came it.

I got a... uh... a...
Well, whatever it was,
it was in this really neat box!

Here's another cool box.
I think it had something for the tall guy in it.
Who knows?

But it's a really nice box!!
The tall guy said to remind you
that it's can stand for it IS or it WAS.

PS: Next year, I think I'll just ask for the boxes.

December 26, 2010

Santa Came To Visit!

Wait!! What is this?

Hey, look. It's my very own Santa Claus!!

Two Minutes Later...

Well, how was I supposed to know you shouldn't
tear off Santa's face?
No one ever tells me anything around here!

Rest in Pieces Santa.

December 25, 2010

Our regular blogging will resume after I open up all my loot!

The tall guy and I hope you have a GREAT Christmas Day!
