Oakie Plays

Mom likes to play hide and seek with me. She likes to run around corners and behind walls and couches and I go chasing after her. Sometimes I get tired of it so I stay in one spot until she gets tired of hiding and comes out. See my strategy there? I get mommy without any effort. I am so smart.

I love to play fetch. I love to chase after the ball, catch it, and hold it in my mouth and squeak it. It’s so fun. I love to run around chasing my toys and sliding across the floor and grabbing the toys in my mouth and .. SQUIRREL! And then I see a squirrel outside and everything goes to crap and my concentration is shot and all I think about is the squirrel and I can’t stop barking. MUST. CATCH. SQUIRREL!

Squirrel?

Writing blogs is hard stuff! My life isn’t that interesting, so I need to come up with stuff to share with .. uh.. with.. myself.. seeing as no one reads my blogs. But I like to keep the absent informed anyway. So uh, today I had breakfast, then I watched mom go to work, then I slept, then mom came home from work late, then she took me out to poo and pee and I ate dinner. Then I watched her play on the computer and that’s about it. Yay. So exciting.

July is almost over! It’ll be only a few days until I turn 10. I hope mom gets me something special.. like a sandwich. I love sandwiches. They are so good. They combine my favorite things. Bread. Gooood. Meat. Goooood. Cheese. Goooooood. My mouth is watering and drool is dripping down as I type. Excuse me as I use my paw to wipe my mouth.

As summer is passing me by, I am slowly approaching my tenth birthday! I will be 10 in August! Oh my goodness. I am an old foagie. But I don’t always feel so old. Sure, when I wake up in the morning I need to stretch and let everyone know I’m stretching with the old man noises I am making. And sure if you pick me up like a baby I will make grumpy old man noises telling you to put me down because my back can’t take it. And sure if we go on a walk, I can’t make it as far as I used to and you have to carry me home. But I am young at heart! I like to run around the house like a crazed maniac at times, and I like to jump on and off the bed like a baby kangaroo. I’m a puppy at heart!

Here is another one of my favorite toys. My Holey Red Ball That Can Be Filled With Treats! Whenever mom needs to leave the house and I don’t want her to go, she will fill the Holey Red Ball That Can Be Filled With Treats up with treats and it will keep me occupied for about five minutes, but it’s enough time for her to leave without distracting me too much. It only takes me five minutes to take out the treats because I am awesome and I have mastered the skill of retrieving treats from the Holey Red Ball That Can Be Filled With Treats.

Here I am with my best friend Purple Guy with Big Feet. We’ve been through it all together. Three residential moves. He goes with me on vacation (well, when mom goes on vacation and I get stuck at the kennel), and he keeps me happy during play time. Purple Guy with Big Feet is so fun to play fetch with. When I can’t catch him, he will bounce on the ground all crazy and all over the place because of his crazy feet, and that in turn makes me run more and faster and further and all crazy as well. We are crazy together. Crazy Besties forever!

I have so many blog entries that it’s hard for me to keep up with all the photos I’ve posted of myself. I might have posted a few dupes of the cuter photos of me, but let’s be honest, you want to see those more than once, right? Right! Well, here is an oldie but goodie.. It’s me in my winter coat looking all concerned because it’s the first time I’ve worn it and it feels like a straitjacket! Not that I know what a straitjacket feels like, but it’s restraining nonetheless. I’m still doggone cute in it though.

When mom ignores me, I like to get my Nylabone and hold it between my paws and chew the ends off. It’s fun and it cleans my teeth at the same time, though I don’t really know it. It’s like a fun, hard, bony toothbrush! Those are so fun to brush with! Too bad it does nothing for my breath!

Hi, friends! I am posting my first entry from my iPod!! Wowee! I just downloaded the WordPress iPhone app. Neato. But typing on this tiny surface is impossible with my hairy paws! I need to go back to the ginormous keyboard of my 9″ netbook. Ha!
