Oakie Plays

I saw my first frog last night! Well, that’s what mama told me it was called. It looked more like a jumping turd to me. It was on the back patio, mom pushed it off into the grass so I wouldn’t lick it, but I got close enough to get a quick sniff until it jumped away. I was a little scared of it, but I kept a brave face on and followed it with my nose. Then I got bored, squatted to poop, sniffed the grass for pee pee smells and went back inside. Fun night!

I hate it when mom spends too much time on the computer. Sometimes I’ll sit next to her and whine and cry. To shut me up, she will put her hand down on my head and pet me, but that’s all I’ll get, and she goes back to ignoring me and giving the computer all her attention. Well, I’ve had enough! Now if she tries to pet my head, I dodge it as fast as I can. It’s like I’m playing hot potato with her hand.. my head is the potato, trying to avoid her hand and her meaningless petting! Sometimes she won’t even look at me, she’ll put her hand out and try to feel for my head, but I avoid it like the bubonic plague. I don’t want her to just pet my head, I want her to get off the computer and play with me! What’s a dog gotta do for some attention around here? Turn into a computer? Sheesh!

I’m outta here!

I’m trying to learn a new trick.. they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and I’m super old, so it’s near impossible to teach me anything new! I’m trying to learn how to balance a Snausage on my nose without inhaling it first. It’s really hard. All I want to do is eat it. Mom tries to get me to hold still as she puts it on my nose, but I just want to gobble that goodness up. I’ve gotten better.. I can resist eating it, but feeling that Snausage on top of my nose is just unnatural; I keep turning my head away and licking my lips as soon as the treat comes near my face. A few more tries later, I can now hold still with it on my nose (with the help of mom holding my head still!) but my mouth curls up to the side and twitches because I just can’t be this close to a Snausage and not devour it instantly! Oh well, maybe one day I can control myself from eating a Snausage within the first nanosecond.

I am super good at playing fetch. I always return the ball after I fetch it! Sounds like a simple game right? You wouldn’t believe how many of my canine friends are so bad at it! Sometimes they don’t even want to run after the ball.. I mean.. what the.. why wouldn’t you want to chase and run after a ball??! It’s so fun! I always return the ball back into the hands of the person who threw it. Yep, I drop it right in their hands. And if they try to fake me out and pretend-throw a ball, well, the joke’s on them really because I won’t run after a fake throw! I’m not that dumb! So if you ever have the urge to watch a dog chase down a ball and return it, I’m ready to entertain!

Nope, it’s not my birthday. I just wanted to post a photo of me celebrating my 8th birthday with a delicious ham & cheese sandwich and some Milkbones. It was the best birthday ever because it was the only birthday party mom threw for me. She didn’t give me a party when I turned 9. What a rip off. I’ll be turning 10 in August. That’s a big milestone! I hope I get a ham & cheese sandwich this year.. and some Milkbones.. and Snausages.. and Beggin Strips!! That’d be swell!

Well! Heidi-ho neighbor! Sometimes I like to pretend I’m a daddy and nurturing to my mini-me. HA! Just kidding. I am not nurturing to my mini-me at all. All I want to do to it is lick and then possibly devour it like its a bag of Snausages. It’s nothing I have against my mini-me, I just like to de-stuff anything that’s stuffed! Toys! Dolls! Pillows! I don’t discriminate! Anything stuffed is welcomed!

Ciao!

Hi there! I watched Project Runway today with mama. All those outfits made me drool. Ok, not me, but mama. She was all like ooh and wow and i want that! And I was all like you want everything! Whereas all I want is a Snausage. Or a Beggin Strip. Or a Milkbone. Ok, maybe I do want everything. Lucky for me, mama buys me all those goodies and feeds me. Why I have to do tricks for them I don’t know. Isn’t my cuteness enough to reward me a treat? I think so!

Mom goes on vacation a lot. I wish she’d take me with her. See, I fit perfectly in her carry on! Too bad I don’t fit under the seat space. I’m just a tiny bit too big for that space. But if I rolled up into a ball, I’d fit! I’m just not sure I want to be in that position for more than a few hours. It’s really hard for me to sit still for a few minutes! Oh, and pardon me and the position I’m lying in all exposing myself. If grandma saw me like this she’d say “Oakie! So ugly!!” Hehee

Welcome to another LOST Tuesday! I sat on mama’s lap as the hour rolled by. Here I am looking at Sawyer. Who thinks his abs are as wonderful as I do? I mean wha?? No silly, I’m not in love with Sawyer, I’m in love with Kate. Yep.. Kate who can’t make up her mind between Sawyer and Jack. Pick both.. they’re both dreamy! I mean huh wha.. did I just say that? And who else cried when Jin and Sun were united? Oh.. not me. I don’t cry. I just whimper. By then I was ready to jump off mama’s lap and find my bone. I can’t sit still for an hour.. or 5 minutes.

Smell ya later!

PS- Besides watching LOST today, I took 2 very solid poopoos and am ready for my 3rd poop before I go to bed in a couple of hours. Yay me!

I get super excited when mom takes me on a car ride. I don’t think about where she’s taking me, I just get way crazy wild happy and pumped to be in the car. Sometimes she’ll take me on a quick run to the store, other times we’ll go through the drive-thru, and a few times we’ll go to the vet or the kennel. I am happy to go to either of the latter two until I get a shot in my butt or mama leaves me for a week at the kennel. I am super sad when she leaves, but I am superly over-joyed to see her when she comes back a week later!! My tail wags so hard it looks like a helicopter about to take flight! Mama take me with you on your next vacation!!
