I don't get it!

Why is everyone calling me Honey Jack Jack now?

===

From the tall guy:

I found a new place that will print actual hard copies of 'Jack:  A book about a dog where the dog doesn't die at the end'.  Although the pictures on the inside are in black and white,

it's still pretty cool.  AND unlike the all-color version of 'Jack', it didn't cost $35.00 a copy!

So, if you would like to get a hard copy of 'Jack' please send me an email at

jacksdad2011@gmail.com and I'll send you the information.

What a great Christmas gift for all your friends who don't have Kindles! Jack will even chew off half of the pages for you.  Then you will have Jack DNA and you can make your OWN copy of Jack.

Well, he's back!!

What did he get to see?

He got to see this:

and this:

and this:

And what did I get to see?

I got to see THIS:

That's right.  He got to see all the beautiful trees and mountains and waters and I got to see the inside of the PetSmart doggy hotel.

I'll be taking applications for new travel buddies real soon!

And he did not even bring me nothing back!

September 11, 2012

Don't Go!!!

I need this!!

It appears that the tall guy has decided to go

on a trip to the Salty Lake

and did not even take me.

I wanted to go to the Salty Lake.

I have never even been to the Salty Lake.

He said something about flying on planes again.

He had better bring me something nice back,

that's all I got to say!

September 8, 2012

Look at this!!!

Isn't that great?

The tall guy says that is called a CLAUDE.

It must be French.

Maybe 'the font' sent it to me!

Thank you 'the font'!

Actually, I thought it was a CLOUD.

But I guess that each cloud

has its own name. 

I did not know that.

The tall guy is so smart!

Why am I so excited about CLAUDE?

Because, when CLAUDE is here, 

that means that it is not so hot outside.

And then we get to stay out longer.

Especially if it is raining.

The tall guy says he doesn't

even mind getting wet when it rains.

Although he does begin to stink a bit

by the time we get home.

There's nothing worse than

a wet tall guy.

Let me tell you! 

September 5, 2012

Sometimes...

you just need to scratch that itch,

no matter where you are
or who's watching!

And don't forget:
If you haven't sent your
Alpha-Pet picture yet,
you still have time!

August 31, 2012

I'm Free!!

Evidently, you can get time off for something called 

'GOOD BEHAVIOR'.

I think the tall guy just got bored because

there's nothing to watch on the teevees

and he wanted someone to talk to!

Thank you to everyone who offered to 

come to my help.

Speaking of help,

don't forget to send your Alpha-Pet

picture to the tall guy. 

He said he has already gotten 

some really great pictures.

August 28, 2012

JACK

goes to

JAIL!

(See how that tied in with

the Alpha-Pet book!)

I've been sentenced to 20 years in the yard.

I'm innocent I tell you!

INNOCENT!

IN-NO-CENT!!!

Oh forget it.

I'm just gonna take a nap!

August 24, 2012

More Birthday Pics.

(These are from yesterday.

I did not get to have another birthday today!)

Me waiting for the tall guy
to fix my delicious turkees!

 MMMM, delicious turkees!!

Here I am about to eat my delicious turkees.
I guess since it was my birthday, 
I got to have turkees flambé!

PS. Don't worry.  The tall guy
took the candle away before he let
me eat anything,
but NOT before I nearly
CAUGHT MY EAR ON FIRE!
 
===

Madi (and her mom) have given us a good example of what we need for the Alpha-Pet book. A big letter, easy to read in the picture AND a great picture of Madi!

Thanks M&M! :)

Someone asked about when we need the pictures.

If you can send them in the next couple of weeks,

the tall guy can get started on the book.

Thank you!!

August 23, 2012

Today's Your Birthday!

It's MY Birthday too!

 

Today I am the big 4, oh!

Look at what I got.

I got a wonderful card from Madi.

Thank you Madi.  It was delicious!

The tall guy also gave me some plastic bubbles

AND some cardboard!

I am having a FUN-derful day!

PS.  The tall guy said he has some

more stuff for me and he will put those

pictures up later.

===

About the Alpha-Pet book

If you picked a letter for the Alpha-Pet book,

the tall guy said he would like for you to 

take a picture of YOU (or someone who looks

just like you) and somewhere in the picture

have a regular sized piece of paper (8.5 x 11)

with the letter you picked written on it

REALLY BIG and REALLY THICK

so it can be seen.  You can be 

doing anything in the picture that you want,

even just laying there.

Once you have a really good picture,

please send it 

(along with the name of anyone 

who appears in the picture) 

to the tall guy

at jacksdad2011@gmail.com.

If you have any questions,

please let him know.

Thank you and have a happy birthday!

 

August 20, 2012

UPDATE:

All the letters are gone! I'll take the X, because I'm very X-cited about the Alpha-Pet book!  I'll have the tall guy put up some more information on Thursday!

 = = =
'A' is for APPLE,

'B' is for BALL,

and

'J' is for ME!

Remember that book I've been telling you about.  

Well here's the 4 1 1!

The tall guy says he wants to do an

'ALPHA-PET' book for kids and he needs

YOUR HELP!

He would like for your mom or dad to

pick a letter of the alphabet,

leave a comment below letting him

know which letter they picked,

and then take a picture of YOU

(their fur-kid) and that letter.

He will then take all the pictures

and turn them into an book that you 

can give to all the kids that you know

for them to read on their computers.

So, if you would like to be in the

ALPHA-PET book,

please leave a comment below

and let us know which letter you would like.

We'll send out more details about the 

pictures once everyone has gotten a chance

to pick a letter!

This is gonna be more fun than

eating deep-fried Snickers on top

of fried chicken at the county fair!

 

(Oh and please check the comments

and see if someone has already picked

the letter.  The first person to choose each letter

will get that letter!  If there is more than one

fur-kid at your house, you may choose one letter for each

if you like. Thank you!) 

(Oh! Oh!  And please come back

on Thursday for something special

that I'm not supposed to know about!)

August 16, 2012

It's HOT!!

It's even hot here in the shade.  

Isn't it time for summer to be over yet?

To whom do I need to write in order 

to get some cool around here?

BTW, the tall guy told me to tell

you that he hadn't forgotten about

the new book.  He just wanted to

wait until all the Olympics were over!

Be watching for an announcement

coming SOON!

August 10, 2012

It's time to play

VACUUM THE DOG!

The amazing new game show where you,

 the dog, get vacuumed!

The best part is,

EVERYONE WINS.

And you get to watch all your fuzz

go round and round in the vacuum!

The tall guy LOVES to play this game.

He says I got more hair on my butt

that most dogs have on their whole body.

 

He also says some other things

that I'm not allowed to type,

but it's usually when he finds

a big pile of hair somewhere.

Come to think of it,

how do I know it's not HIS hair?

 

I'll have to ask him about that sometime.

 

 

August 8, 2012

Scissors?

Who needs scissors?

I got teeths in my head.

In-scissors!! 

BOL!!!

Dental humor is the best! :)

August 5, 2012

MMMM, leg!

See what happens when I don't get my daily cookie!

Don't worry, it's not the tall guy.

His leg would be MUCH too fatty for me!

BOL!!

July 31, 2012

Needless to say, I got a real bath when we got home.

July 27, 2012

See what I have to put up with?

While other dogs get bones and balls and stuffy things, all I get is the LID off the mashed potatoes.

AND I didn't even get no mashed potatoes.

I don't even know what mashed potatoes are.

But from the way the tall guy was wolfing them down, they must be pretty good.

On another note, don't forget that the Blogville and Cat Blogosphere "We don't want to get sued for saying the word 'OLYMPICS'" start today!  You can see the schedule HERE! (Thanks Madi's Mom!)  I don't compete until Monday (the Beach Ball event), so I'm just gonna hang around the athlete's village and see if I can find me some mashed potatoes!

July 23, 2012

Eating my Cheery-Os!

The tall guy eats a bowlful of Cheery-Os almost every morning, so he always gives me about 10 Cheery-Os to eat, primarily so I won't be asking for some of his.

He found the easiest way to do it is to throw them on the couch so that I have to try to find them.  He calls this his "Dear God Jack, give me TWO seconds to eat in peace" trick!  He's got it down pretty well as it takes me about 2 seconds before I find them all and then I can stare at him until he gives me some of his out of his bowl.

I think eating out of the couch is a whole lot better than eating out of a bowl, don't you?  Although I don't know where you would pour the milk!

July 19, 2012

My name is Jack

and I'm a bean-aholic!

I'm pretty sure that I've told you about the beans

that come out of the sky here.

They are just all over the ground.

And they are DELICIOUS!!

The tall guy says they are like "puppy crack" because when I get around them, all I want to do is eat them and I tend to focus completely on them and nothing else!

Fortunately, they are all around at this time of year, so I always have a ready supply.

Unfortunately, the tall guy won't let me eat all of them I want.

He says not to worry about me eating so many beans, because they just go in one end and out the other!

PS.  They are called 'mesquite beans' because they come off of the mesquite trees (maybe they don't ACTUALLY fall out of the sky!).  The early settlers used grind them up to make flour out of them.  

Oh and here is a bush that is out in front of our house.  There are a lot of THESE around as well.

It is very purple.  It's called a Texas Sage and almost every yard has one.

July 16, 2012

I almost forgotted!!

We have had some of this lately:

and we've been having so much fun out playing in it 

that I almost made me forget to show you

Sophie and Hamish 

and their book that they won!

 

They had LOTS of beautiful pictures to put in it

and I'm so glad that they liked their book.

Shhh, don't tell anyone,
but I think the tall guy has
an idea for another book,
but he will definitely need YOUR help.
More to come!

July 11, 2012

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Today was, what the tall guy so nicely puts it, a 

SAEDBAS* walk.

It seems that I was taking my time on our walk this morning,

while the tall guy was trying to get home so he could watch a bunch of people ride bicycles around France.

Needless to say, I didn't get to S and S as many of the D Bs as I would have liked!

*Stop at every darn bush and smell

** The tall guy just makes up acronyms 

whenever he feels like it!

July 7, 2012

It's SO HOT!!!

It's so hot outside, all I want to do is sleep inside.

Oh, and eat.

Is it hot where you are?

Who do we write to complain?

July 3, 2012

Here's one butt...

I don't need to see at the dog park!!

Don't be smoking no cigarettes,

especially around your puppies.

You should be smoking cookies instead.

That way, it won't matter where you drop them!

June 29, 2012

It's SO nice...

to be back home and sleeping in your own bed.

Well, in the tall guy's bed, but I get to sleep there too!

June 25, 2012

We're going on VACATION!

The tall guy says it is too hot so we're headed out of town.

We will be back later this week.

If you see us driving up the road,

wave hello.

 

 

 

June 22, 2012

Please join me for a relaxing day

AT THE SPA!

Indulge in my special mud bath treatment.

So calming, so refreshing.

So M-M-Muddy!

And remember,

there is never any tipping

at this spa! 

Unless you just happen to fall over.

June 19, 2012

I have NO idea what I'm doing.

Evidently my front half decided to get off the couch, but my back half decided it liked it just fine where it was.  So, I just stayed this way for a minute until the tall guy looked at me and asked me what I was doing.

Some mornings I think I should just stay in bed!

June 14, 2012

That's just not right!

I have not got to go do the swimmings in like 50 years.  Well, except for the little round pool at my house, but that doesn't count because my feet touch the bottom.

The tall guy has started going to do the swimmings every day!  He is going to some place called a Jim.  I don't even know who this Jim is.  But, the tall guys says that dogs are not allowed there.  Well, that Jim must not be a very nice person if he doesn't like dogs.

So, if you are going to do the swimmings with your family, would you please stop by and let me go with you?  I will bring some carrots and some cookies for us to eat after we do the swimmings.  And I have my own towel.

Thank you, and have a pleasantly wet day!

June 9, 2012

Yuck!

Evidently I am not allowed to go outside until the tall guy puts something called sunscream on my nose.  I don't know why he does it, because I just lick it off right after he puts it on.  And it doesn't taste like bacon, let me tell you.

I don't even think it is sunscream for dogs because there is a picture of a baby on the bottle.  

I don't imagine that the babies would like the taste if they licked it off of their noses either!

Oh well!  It's just another one of those things that the tall guy does that I'll never understand!

June 4, 2012

I finally figured it out.

(Not this.  

This picture has nothing to do with anything.)

We went back to the old dog park yesterday,

the one we used to go to.

And then we went to a place

so the tall guy could get some

pannycakes and bacon.

He says they are the best pannycakes

ever in the world.

So, I finally realized that we weren't going

to the dog park for me.  We were going

to the dog park because it was close

to the pannycake store.

And I didn't even get no bacon.

People Park

Wouldn't it be nice to have a place where you can go and play with peoples?  It's nice being able to play with lots of different dogs, but sometimes you just need that extra feeling you get when you're with a bunch of people and everyone is paying attention to you and petting you and scratching your butt and telling you what a good boy you are.

I think they should open up a people park right next door to the dog park.  That way, if you felt like playing with people, you could go inside the fence and there would be a bunch of people running around and throwing balls and Fribsees and just in general 'acting a fool' as the TG would say.

Although I think we might have to draw the line with the sniffing thing.  That's not a pretty picture no matter how you look at it!
