The tree is up....the tree is up!

Comet broke the weather!

Comet's living room snow storm screwed up weather patterns across the great state of Arizona.

On Friday morning, it started to get cold and snow! For reals. Ok..... it didn't get cold enough to actually snow, but it rained and it was cold outside. If it was colder, it WOULD have been snow.
Look at how wet and nasty it was outside.

To top it off, our electricity kept turning off. It was a good thing the girl came home from work early on Friday afternoon. I get really scared when the electricity turns on and off. I was so stressed I needed to lay on the girl's bed.The worst part was that Comet didn't even feel bad. He rolled around and laughed his crazy head off. It's still cold and rainy today. I wonder how long the weather is going to stay broken.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

The girl hasn't put up our tree yet, so I thought I would get her in the holiday mood by making snow. Do you know how much work it is to make snow in Phoenix? I'm exhausted.

ps. we received 4 more cards today. We received a card from Niko and Bentley that was drawn by their very talented mom. We also received cards from Randi, Cairo, and Hana. Hana was wearing one of the beautiful ribbon necklaces that her mom makes.

And the winner is......

..... Lenny!!! We got our first DWB card today from Lenny. He is such a handsome pup too.
Thank you Lenny!

Working our paws off

The girl opened her card making sweatshop today. Now we know what Santa's elves feel like. And unlike our friend Lorenza, we didn't get to take lots of naps.

I hope our friends like all the glittery candies I'm making.
Don't they look yummy?
I hope this is the last of them. I'm sooooo tired.

Now I have to put them on all of the cards.

Coming soon..... to a mailbox near you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope all of our friends have a happy thanksgiving and get to spend time with family and friends. This year, we have much to be thankful for.

We are thankful that our girl adopted us and gives us fresh water, food, treats, and lots of hugs and kisses every day. We know there are still lots of doggies out there looking for their furrever homes - and are thankful to all the rescue people who try to help them.

We are thankful that we have lots of toys to play with.
We are thankful that we have a nice yard to run around in and chase birds.
We are thankful that somebody was clever enough to invent doggie doors, so we can run in and out of the house whenever we want.

We are thankful for all the laughs we get from reading our friends' blogs and all the friendships that we have made, even though we haven't had the opportunity to sniff any of your butts yet.

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Comet and BLU

Fresh, not frozen

My friends kept talking about getting to eat a big bird tomorrow.

I looked in my girl's fridge and there wasn't a bird in there.

Thanksgiving would be ruined without one, so it was up to me to provide for my family.

It may be small, but I bet it tastes delicious.

The girl must want to save it for tomorrow and cook it, because she took it away from me and wouldn't let me eat it.

Graduation

I graduated from my obedience class last night. Even though my girl had to hold the dumb hat on my head to keep it on, I must admit that I do look rather distinguished with it.
Comet

I love these men!

They tore up my road and made all sorts of scary noises but they did the Best. Thing. Ever!
They turned off all of our water.
Just as the girl was getting ready to give me a bath!
I love these men!

Other dogs are fun

I found out that I like to play with other dogs - even though they kind of scare me. I was very good at class on Monday. I let three dogs sniff me and I sniffed them. I even played with them a little bit. Playing with other dogs is a lot of fun - but it's still a bit scary. The girl promises to help me get over that fear. Even though next Monday is graduation from my class, the girl signed me up for the intermediate class so I could get more practice with other dogs. I like my special night out with the girl each week (at least the weeks she remembers to take me).

The girl took a couple of videos to show why she hates taking me and BLU anywhere. I think she's just being difficult.

When the girl goes to the leash closet, I go nuts and start jumping for joy.
And then BLU attacks me.
Then she makes me sit (and BLU gets in the way).
Then she grabs the leash, and I jump for joy again.
Then she makes me sit (and BLU gets in the way).
Then she puts the collar and leash on me and I jump for joy.


After she finally gets a leash on me, BLU is next and the whole process starts over.

Once we have the leashes on, BLU and I run back and forth between the door and body slam the girl. Once we get tired out, she finally lets us go outside.

I just can't understand why she doesn't like to take us out.

Comet

Comet took a leek.....

in the middle of the living room.

And then the girl put it in soup.

Gross!

Meltdown

We've tried to update our blog a few times in the last week, but the girl's computer keeps shutting down on us. We think it is because our cheap girl thinks it is winter now, and refuses to turn on the air conditioning, even when it is still in the mid 90s. Then when she gets home from work, she hogs the computer so we can't use it.

We haven't been doing anything too exciting though. We mostly sleep during the day (because we are too hot!) Hopefully life will get more exciting soon.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

As a halloween treat, the girl got us a (that means one!) pumpkin toy. Two of us - one toy. And she got it from the dollar store. What a cheapskate - she could have got one for each of us!

BLU grabbed it first. It took her a whopping 10 seconds to rip off its hat and bite a few holes in it. Then she was bored.

I then took the toy and pulled all the stuffing out of it.
When we only get one toy, we have to tag-team destroy it.

Then my girl thought she was being funny, and made me wear the pumpkin's hat.

Just wait until tomorrow.
We will show her a good trick!

BLU's birthday (sort of)

I got to celebrate my birthday today. I'm not sure when it really is, because I don't know how to read a calendar. About 8 years ago, I decided to follow the girl home and refused to leave her house. She took me to the vet to get shots, and they said I was about a year old. I guess that makes me 9 now!

Remember the fancy biscuit that the girl got Comet for his birthday? Well...... I didn't get one.

I got something MUCH better! I got a corn dog! Doesn't that look really really yummy? Comet got a dumb biscuit, and I got a corn dog. The girl loves me more!

Doesn't that look just delicious? Well, let me tell you, it was!
Here I am eating my yummy birthday treat. I really would have liked both halves, but the girl insisted that I had to share with Comet. Boooo to that!

Then it was time to open my present. I went outside and got all excited. I thought I found my present hiding on my neighbor's house.

At first I thought this was going to be the Best. Present. Ever! I got all excited imagining how much fun it would be to chase, and shake, and destuff!

Unfortunately, that wasn't my present. Comet picked out a boring nylabone for me. It's not as exciting as the cat, but I still like it.

BLU

Mickey did it

We would like to thank Zach and our friends at the Eskie Board. Once they started suggesting that mice filled the shoes, the girl didn't want to hear about it and let us off the hook. We'll have to remember that - next time we get in trouble, we will blame it on mice!

Who did this????

Hey doggies, this is Comet and BLU's girl. They can't come to their blog right now. First, they need to fess up or rat out the guilty party.

Today I decided to clean the closet in my office. I was pulling a few things out, when all of a sudden, a bunch of brown things scattered across the floor. I nearly had a heart attack thinking I had an army of roaches living in there! Upon further inspection, this is what I found - a big pile of dog food. I didn't put it there, so who did?

I realized that I had bumped a shoe before all the food scattered across the floor. I pulled out the shoe, and found a few pieces of food in it. How weird!
Then I pulled out the other shoe. It was packed full of dog food. It seems unbelievable that Comet or BLU would fill my shoes with food. But if not them, then who? That's the question, and they aren't telling me any answers.

This shoe is packed full - all the way to the toes! I bet all the food that spilled was packed into the other shoe! Why on earth would I have two shoes packed full of dog food. And could Comet and BLU have done this, or are there other forces of evil that lurk in my closet?
I went to get the broom to clean up the mess, and came back to find Comet eating the food out of my shoe! At least that would explain why he has been so obsessed about getting into the closet for the last couple of months.
Between the food that spilled and that in my shoe, (not including what Comet ate) I swept up a big pile.
So, until further notice, this blog is being held hostage until I get some answers. If you ever want to hear from Comet and BLU again, you better get them to talk! I need to know who - when - and why!

~~The girl

Stinky ball

For those of you who asked about the NOW command, it's basically the same thing as COME. The girl is supposed to use NOW instead of come when she doesn't want to give me a choice (like if I run out near traffic). Up until now, I didn't realize I had a choice when she said come. Good to know that I do!

I like your ideas for NOW better. I think I should use it when I want to be fed NOW! When I want to be walked NOW! When I want to play NOW!

My girl thought I looked like a frog catching a bug in this picture. I think she needs to get more sleep. She also thinks it's weird that my hind legs poke out towards the front when I sit. I don't know what's so weird about it. Her legs poke out when she sits too!

My girl thought she was being so clever. She gave me a confusing toy. It smelled like food, but it felt like a toy. Here I am playing with it.

After I played with it for a while, the girl broke open the ball and ate the inside. She gave me a couple pieces and it was really sweet and yummy. The outside isn't so yummy though. Here she is making me smell the stinky orange ball.

The girl thought it was really funny to chase me with the stinky orange ball. I didn't think it was funny, and ran and hid in my box.

Top secret mission

I had class again tonight. Walking into Petsmart tonight, I remembered Sara (and her "mom") from our class. She wanted to say hello, so I actually let her sniff my nose. I didn't like it when she went to sniff my bottom, and my girl moved me right along and out of the way. Then, once class was about to start, I decided I wanted to sniff Heidi - the great dane. All was going well until she stuck out her GIANT tongue to lick me. That scared me and my girl called me back to her. I hid under her chair for a while after that.

There was a new dog in class tonight. It was a German shepherd mix puppy. He was really annoying. He kept trying to play while the rest of us were trying to pay attention. Today we learned to stay (which I already knew) and a new command - NOW! I don't know the difference between NOW! and come - other then the girl gave me much better treats for NOW!

After class was over, the girl took me on a top secret mission. I got to pick out a toy. But not for me. It's a secret gift.

Comet

She remembered!

The girl remembered. On Saturday, I got to go to class. Nobody else was there though. They cancelled the Saturday class. It was ok. The trainer caught me up with both of the missed classes in about a half hour. That's because I'm so smart.

Tonight we went to the real class. There were 5 other dogs there. I was nervous at first, and didn't like it when any of them got close to me to sniff. A couple of them were playing, which looked really fun. I really wanted to play with them but then they would get too close and I would change my mind.

Tonight we learned "down", "leave it" and "take it". I already knew those things, so I looked really smart. Maybe next week I will let another dog sniff me.

Comet

Ted - our new best friend

We love Ted.
Ted did it.
Ted did what BLU and I really really wanted to do.
Ted did what we were scared to do.
Ted BROKE the black box!!!

BEFORE

AFTER

Thank you Ted!!!!!!
Now..... can you break the other two black boxes?

Comet
ps. The girl came home tonight, but my class was already over by the time she got back.

Psychic eskie predicts end of the world....

OK, maybe not the end of the world, but still not something I like!

Last week Hana predicted that our girl was going to go out of town again this week. Tonight our girl put clothes in the black box again! She hasn't even been home a full week! And I am supposed to go to class on Monday! What is wrong with that girl?

How did Hana know about this trip? What other magical powers does she possess? Does she have a magical second set of ears like Ronak?

~Comet

Sit. Stay. Heel. Come.

That's what I was SUPPOSED to learn yesterday at my first day of obedience class. And where was the girl? She was SUPPOSED to take me to class. But she and her black bag were off in some place called Washington DC. I don't know where that is, but I do know that it wasn't class!

She got home tonight, and all I can say is that she better not screw up again next Monday and miss class.
