Locked in a dark room

The funniest thing happened last night. The girl went out and BLU locked herself in a dark room. She was stuck there until the girl came home. It was great! I had the entire house to myself without BLU getting in the way. I put a few of my toys right by the door so she could see and smell them, but not touch them. The only bad thing is that when the girl finally came home and let BLU out, the first thing BLU did was attack me. That wasn't very nice.
Comet

It wasn't that funny. The girl normally keeps foam stoppers on top of our doors so that we can't get locked in a room. When she leaves the house, she closes her bedroom door so we can't go in there. Last night, she thought she closed it, but the latch didn't catch. Comet was driving me nuts, so I went in there to get away from him and sleep on the girl's bed. Comet kept coming in and bugging me, so I tried to slam the door on him. Sometimes I actually catch him, but he doesn't get hurt because of the door stoppers. This time I slammed the door and it closed all the way. Luckily Comet was on the outside of the door and not stuck in the room with me!

It wasn't too bad being stuck in the dark. I slept most of the time, and a little light from outside and under the door was in the room. It wasn't scary at all. Plus, I didn't have to deal with Comet. It was actually quite nice. I was happy when the girl came home and let me out though, because I really had to pee!
BLU

ps. The girl used to put a towel over the doors before she bought these stoppers from PetsMart. She found them about a year ago, but hasn't seen them there lately.

Bye bye tree.....

Chopping up the broken part of the real tree yesterday made the girl want to get rid of the Christmas tree too. This morning she started on a mission to take down all of the lights, decorations, and even our cards.

The good news is, she is also packing up the ribbon necklaces. Yippeeee!

We want to thank all of our friends from DWB, the Eskie Board, and other friends of ours and the girl's for making this a wonderful Christmas with all of your festive cards. We really appreciate how much time and creative talent went into some of the cards. Some of you set the bar pretty high for next year! A couple more cards trickled in yesterday, and we think there may be a couple more still on the way, but this is what the girl is giving us as her final count:

Comet and BLU = 56 cards

Comet, BLU and the girl = 24 cards

The girl = 21 cards

Grand total = 101 dalmations! .... oops 101 cards!

And we still won! :-)

Somebody broke our tree!

Yesterday while our girl was at work, there was a very loud noise. Comet and I ran to the front door and saw big branches from our tree in the road. Somebody broke the tree!

We were worried that the girl would blame us once she came home from work! It was almost dark when she got home, and her neighbor came over to tell her that a big truck smashed into the tree and didn't even stop. He helped her pull the branches out of the road and onto the lawn.

This morning the girl got up early. We got all excited because we thought she was going to take us for a walk. Instead, she locked us in the house and went outside to chop up the tree parts. The neighbor came over and helped her cut the biggest pieces. I thought she should have taken a picture of it, but she was so focused on getting rid of the tree that I guess she forgot. At least she didn't blame us for it!

Now the girl is really tired from chopping the tree. We still want to go for a walk, but the girl said she is really tired and we will have to wait until this afternoon.

Christmas eve trip

The girl got what she deserved for being such a grinch.
On Christmas eve, she took us out for a walk before she went to visit her friends for dinner.
During the walk, BLU and I saw some mud in the road, and wisely walked around it. I don't know what the girl was looking at, but it wasn't the road. She walked right through the mud.

It was really funny. The mud completely covered her shoes, and when she tried to walk, her shoes were really slippery. She slid around like she was ice skating. It was funny, so BLU and I decided to run to see if we could pull her. It would have been really cool if she could have kept her balance. Instead, she just belly flopped face first into the sidewalk.

She didn't move for a while. I got really scared and licked her face. I think it was BLU's bad breath that finally made her move. Another lady out for a walk offered to help my girl get up, but my girl said she was ok. After a while, she got up off the sidewalk and scraped a bunch of mud off her shoes so we could go home. The rest of the walk wasn't very fun after that.

Our girl was ok though, since she had no problem going to dinner with her friends and leaving us home.

The Grinch Stole Christmas

Oh wait, the grinch isn't that mean. The girl is!

Other than our two presents from Rory and Matthew, we got nothing for Christmas. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero!

Not even a lump of coal!!! I know I've been a little naughty this year, but come on, nothing?? Something is very wrong in the world!

Comet

Well, it's not quite true that we got nothing. We just got nothing from our girl. In addition to the pressies from Matthew and Rory, the girl's friend Christine gave us two presents. She gave us a glow in the dark ball, and a tooth scrubber. I want the ball, and I think Comet needs the tooth scrubber. I'm not sure why, but the girl wouldn't let us play with them. She showed them to us, then put them away. She didn't even take them out of the package. That really isn't right. Just because she doesn't like getting gifts doesn't mean that we should also have to suffer. Christine gave them to us - not to the girl! We should get to play with them. I don't care if the girl was upset that we destroyed Rory's toys in less than 10 minutes. These toys look like they would take at least 30 minutes!

BLU


We hope all of our doggie friends (and fufu) had a very merry Christmas and got lots of toys and treats. Hopefully you live with somebody nice and not a grinchy girl.

Love, Comet and BLU

Early Christmas presents

This week has been really exciting. Lots of people have come over to visit our girl. Sometimes she let us visit with her, but most of the time she locked us out in the back yard while the people were here. That wasn't very nice of her. We like guests too!

Last night, the girl was going to go to a Festivus party. She was in charge of bringing the aluminum pole. As she was getting dressed, the annoying phone rang again. I heard her tell somebody that they could come over. I hope we get to stay in the house this time.

The girl's friend Rory and his son, Matthew came to visit. I don't think Rory should be allowed in the house any more, but Comet really likes him.

Comet wants to add..... "I like Rory. On the first night I came to live with the girl, Rory watched me while the girl ran out to get Chinese food. Rory let me pee on a chair. That was fun. Rory is so cool for letting me do that!

Anyway...... Matthew brought us toys for Christmas. That was really nice of him. We each got one, and right away tried to rip them apart. We jumped all over Matthew and gave him lots of slobbery kisses. Comet pretended to kiss Matthew, but was really trying to steal his glasses. The girl caught him and made him stop.

Matthew and Rory didn't get to stay long, because the girl needed to leave, but it was fun while they were here. After Matthew and Rory left, the girl took away our presents! Not fair! She never lets us eat stuffed toys when she isn't around.

Hana - friend or foe?

Dear Hana,

I used to think you were very nice and cute. You may still be cute, but you certainly are not nice!

You are no longer my friend.

You did a very mean thing to Comet and me. You let your person teach our girl how to make ribbon necklaces. I can't even begin to tell you how cruel that was. What did I ever do that was so mean to you? At least when the girl put silly hats on us, we could knock them off. But these! Yikes!

Do you know how many people stared at us while we were out on our walk today. It was so humiliating. I don't think I can show my face in public ever again.

Your former friend,
BLU

Hana,

I almost was going to side with BLU, but you did such a good job of making her mad that I like it! It takes a special kind of evil to upset BLU that much. Congrats! Anyone who can make BLU cry is a friend of mine!

Plus, I think the ribbons are kind of cute. Not terribly masculine mind you, but they are festive.
Lots of people stared at us because we were lookin fine! F.. I.. N.. E.. FINE! People were oo'ing and ah'ing over us. I liked the attention! I felt like a celebrity, being hounded by puparazzi!

Your best friend forever,
Comet

ps. I think BLU was just jealous that my ribbons were prettier! hehehehehe

Big pile of.......

Tag! Who's it?

Yikes! We've been Christmas tagged by Joey and Tanner. At first that sounded really scary, but it really isn't.

The Rules: The player of this game starts with "3 things he/ she would love to get for Christmas" and also has to list "3 things he/ she definitely does not want to get for Christmas". Then he/she tags 5 friends and list their names. The ones who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their Christmas wishes, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. And the one who tags need to leave a comment that says "you've been Christmas tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

Ok For Christmas Comet would love to get:
1. Cartons of toilet paper and kleenex to chew
2. Snow to play in
3. A great big bloody juicy steak

Comet really, really doesn't want for Christmas:
1. Rules!
2. His nails clipped or fur brushed
3. Curry

Fritos

My girl likes to eat Fritos.
She likes the smell of Fritos.
She likes to lick salt off Fritos.

She says my feet smell like Fritos.
I like the smell of Fritos.
I like to lick Fritos.
I like to lick my feet.
They taste salty and smell like Fritos.

The girl yells at me for licking my feet!
I don't understand my girl at all.
Why doesn't she want me to lick my yummy Frito feet?
Maybe she wants to lick my feet.

Food fight!

I don't like this. I don't like it one bit. Comet and I had a nice system down at dinner time. The girl would put food in each of our bowls, then we would each take a bite or two, then switch bowls to taste the other's food. Since they tasted the same, we would eat as much as we wanted, then save the rest for later, nibbling throughout the day.

A few weeks ago, the girl started messing with our system. She bought me a new food, but Comet got to eat the same food. I don't know why she did this. I like the old food better, and Comet likes the new food better, but she won't let us switch. It just doesn't make sense.

I keep looking at her and begging for the new food, but she just says that the vet told her I needed special food. I don't like my special food. When the girl puts down my bowl, I right away run to Comet's and he runs to mine. The girl switches it on us, and Comet and I try to eat out of the same bowl. I'll tell you this, one bowl isn't big enough for the both of us. So we fight.

The girl thought she was being clever by putting our food into different kong toys, but Comet and I switch toys when the girl isn't looking. Instead of letting us have our way, the girl switches it back. It's not fair, I tell you. It's just not fair!
BLU

Boo's boo boo

When the girl came home from work today, the front curtains were off the door. At first she thought Abby came over to play again, but that isn't what really happened.

The curtains fell down when I tried to attack the mail lady through the door. Normally I just bark at her, and sometimes body slam the door. But today, I knew something was wrong. Sure, she left me a big pile of cards (and many from our friends in Asia!).

Normally that would be a good thing. But we've been waiting and waiting and waiting for the card from Boo.... and the mail lady only gave us half of it! I tried to stop her from keeping the rest of it, but the darned door got in the way. At least the best part of the card is still there. Boo's handsome face.

We got cards from lots of our other friends too. I would write more about them, but the girl is impatiently tapping her foot. Something about checking her email before going to bed. People!
BLU

Cold is good

Our girl doesn't understand that it's winter. I wait all year for it to get cold outside, and in Phoenix that isn't very often. Since it doesn't snow here, the least she can do is let me enjoy the cold. But what does she do? She comes home from work and turns up the heater so hot that I pant! Then she closes the doggie door at night so I can't go outside and lay on the cold porch. There is something seriously wrong with her. I need help from all my northern friends to convince my girl that cold is good!
Thanks.
Comet

Tree decorations

The girl finally put the decorations on the tree. I've already pulled a couple off and tried to chew on them, but she caught me and yelled at me. I guess I will have to wait until she leaves the house to go to work or out with friends. Then I can taste all of them that I want to without her interrupting me.
~Comet

We also got two more cards today. Hana was very cute in her card. So was Sophia, and we could tell that she worked very hard when she made her card. It was very pretty.

We added these cards to those that we got yesterday from Tin Tin, Copper and Hershey, Salchicha and Lilly, MJ, and Mackie and Ollie. When she added the new cards, the girl realized that all of them weren't going to fit on top of the fireplace. She used some sparkly beads to hang the cards from. They are closer to me now, so I can see them better. I just hope that Comet doesn't eat them!
~BLU

Cards cards and more cards

Today the mail lady was very busy. She brought lots of cards for us. My girl is still trying to figure out where to put them so that Comet can't eat them. Right now she has them on top of the fireplace. I'm not sure what she will do with them once we get a lot more!

Today was very exciting because we got cards from lots of our friends. Joey and Tanner had a great card (love the tongue!). Isabella looked very cute, as always. We got a very funny card from Holly and the furry five, and an adorable card from the Fleas Gang.

Boomer, Annabelle and Snickers sent us a cute postcard, although Comet growled at the picture of Turbo Kitty. To top it off, we received a lovely handmade card from Lillie and Angel Daisie, with pictures of their people. Such cute kids. They look like they would be fun to jump on and lick! This is going to be our best Christmas ever!

States of matter

Comet is so gross. There is always one of the three states of matter coming out of him.

Solid.
Liquid.
And now Gas!

He's been walking around the house all day long farting. Each time he lets one rip, he quickly turns around to look at his butt, like a giant bug just crawled out of it. It is soooo disgusting. We were wrestling and I tried to bite his tail, and he farted right in my mouth. Sniffing butts is ok. Face farting isn't! Does anyone want to adopt "Mr. Stinky"?
BLU

I don't know what BLU's complaining about. My farts might be loud, but they don't stink......too much!
Comet

Crystal come home!

Crystal come home! Your crazy friend came over to our house today and look what she did to me! What kind of people do you know?

Oh, where are my manners. My name is Jazz. I don't know Comet and BLU, but I know their girl. I have played with her a few times.

My person Crystal is on vacation, so BLU's girl came over to visit me today. At first it was really fun. I handed her my squishy ball and we went out back and played with it. She would throw it and I chased it. We did that over and over and over again. She didn't even mind that I took breaks to drink water and the ball came back slimy.

After I got tired, we went in the house so I could rest a little bit. That girl went out to her car. At first I thought she was leaving, but then she came back inside. Hooray. I have somebody to play with for a little longer.

When she came back in, she had weird things in her hands. They smelled like dogs that I never met before. I guess that would be Comet and BLU. Then that girl put the silly things on my head. At first I tried to get them off, but she kept putting them back on. Finally, I decided to cooperate. Maybe if I let her see me in them, she would take them off quicker. As you can see, she captured one of my most embarrassing moments on film. I sure hope Crystal doesn't see this. She will never let me live it down.

After making me wear the stupid hats, that girl called Crystal and I got to hear her on the speaker phone. I was going to say hello, but the rawhide was just too tasty to ignore.

That girl played fetch with me for a little while longer, then she left. She told me that she would come back. That will be fun. Provided she doesn't try to dress me up again. Come home soon Crystal. I miss you.
Jazz




Ahhh.... we wondered whose smell that was! Our girl came home smelling like another dog. We've smelled that before, but never saw who it was. At first we were mad that she was playing with somebody else, but when we found out that Jazz had to wear the hats, we had to laugh. We don't care if our girl plays with other dogs as long as she makes them wear the dumb hats!
Comet and BLU

A new tree

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree,
I really want to mark you
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree,
I really want to mark you
It’s silly to have a tree
On which the girl, won’t let me pee
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree,
I really want to mark you.

~Comet

Our first cards!

Today we got our first cards.

We got a beautiful postcard from Freda with a nice alliteration. At first I thought I might need glasses, but then realized that it was Freda that was foggy, not my eyes! Comet ran up and grabbed it from the girl and wouldn't let me look at it again.



We got another card all the way from Australia! That's very far away. Our girl likes to travel to far away places, but the closest she's been to Australia is New Zealand. Maybe eventually she will visit Australia too. I just hope we can go along on that trip.

It was a bit of a challenge getting the envelope open. The glue was really strong. Comet finally bit a corner open and then the girl could help us get the card out. It was from our friends Opy and Charlie. They had on such cute bandanas. I wonder why our girl never lets us wear bandanas?

Comet had a hard time opening it up to read the message. Freda's card was easy, because it was a postcard and we could just flip it over. Opy and Charlie's card was harder. I think Comet had it upside down, because he ended up chewing a hole in the corner, instead of just lifting up the corner.



I would have felt bad if I broke the card, but Comet didn't seem to care. He claimed that it tasted yummy - like Opy and Charlie drool. He bit a hole in Freda's card so they would match!

Thank you for the wonderful cards. I think the mail lady is going to be busy for the next few weeks.
