We need to have a little talk...

Left to right: Max, Ken, Sadie

"Daddy" has to lecture Max on Dog Park etiquette, note the finger shaking going on as he said:
Max, you have to be a good boy, no picking on the big dogs, they could bite you in half, we love you and wouldn't want that to happen so you need to stop being a bully and be a good boy

I have a feeling Max heard it something like this:
Max blah blah blah good boy blah blah blah big dog blah blah blah we love you blah blah blah good boy

Notice Sadie on the other side looking on...can't you just hear her saying "I told you so!"

Not Only Did I Escape......

I stole the ball!!
If you saw yesterdays post, Max was running for his life from a HUGE dog!! Not only did he escape the jaws of danger, he stole the ball!! There are many toys and tennis balls at the dog park that are community property. People leave things there for all dogs to play with. This tennis ball was right next to the resting "King Kong" dog and Max just walked right up and took it! He looks quite proud of his prize doesn't he?

HELP! The KING KONG of Dogs is CHASING ME!!!

Keep in mind that Max weighs 48 pounds, this was the SMALLER of these two dogs who Max decided to pick a fight with as soon as we got there. Sometimes I think the chain link of the dog park brings out prison mentality, you know, go in beat up the toughest dog there and take over as supreme ruler of the universe....The problem is these big dogs weren't having it. Thankfully they were friendly big dogs who basically looked at him and pushed him off and said "stop it silly little dog...oh you wanna run? I'll chase your silly ass..."

RUN Max, RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN


Can you see the puff of dirt flying from Max's paws? That little boy is running for his life!! That dog looks like he wants to have Max for dinner!! Runnnnnnn Max!!!!

If you had long ears they would fly up when you run too

Sadie running down the through the park on her way to greet incoming "fresh" scented dogs. Actually Sadie is just as fascinated by the people as she is by the dogs at the park. She got to meet a human infant for the first time and typical of Sadie she went right for licking the toes. I did yell at her to stop being rude but the Mommy said "Its ok, she is making the baby laugh" So there is a child out there who is going to be ticklish and have flashbacks of her toes being licked when she was a child and its all Sadie's fault.

Thanks for all of your emails and concern for Sadie and Max. They are both doing just fine it was my camera that didn't want to cooperate. My battery had died and I couldn't find the charger because my husband put it "someplace safe" and couldn't recall where the safe place was. I did attempt to buy a battery for it at a local store however the price was about $90 and I thought it would be best to order a back up battery online. Thankfully, he found the charger and The Daily Dogs are back to spread their slobbery love again!

What is this thing?

He gets so curious when he sees me playing with the camera, he puts his nose up to it and then he sees the flash and it all comes back to him..its "THAT" thing. Oh no, didn't turn my head quick enough!!

Puparazzi!! No that isn't a typo, paparazzi is for humans, PUParazzi is for puppers!!

French Kissing

She has tongue and she knows how to use it! Last night when we were walking two pit bulls escaped from their house and came charging up to say hello. The owners were right behind, three adults came running out of the house and the dogs were caught without incident.

Sadie wasn't really interested in the dogs, however when their human came over to apologize and make sure everything was ok and say hello, he bent down to pet Sadie...not one to miss an opportunity she jumped up to meet him, sticking her tongue in his mouth as she did. I tried to say "careful she's a kisser" but I was too late, the guy in the corner house had been slimed, Sadie style!

Dieting for Doggies

Sadie:
Starting Weight: 58.5 pounds
Goal Weight: 55 pounds


My name is Sadie and I love to eat! People food is my favorite. If the humans are eating it, I want to eat it too. I've learned that certain whimpers make them think I'm starving or makes them feeling guilty and compelled to share. I don't care what it takes, I want their food. I've even resorted to stealing a fully cooked chicken breast from the counter and a sandwich from a plate on the coffee table. "hey if they didn't want me to have it, they shouldn't have left it where I can reach it" My hobbies include: going for walks, running through sprinklers, biting sprinklers, laying on the sofa, laying on the chair, begging for food, warming feet by laying on them, sitting in laps and french kissing everyone who dares put their mouth near mine. I'm only doing this diet because my human Mommy is making me. Yeah, Daddy still slips me extra treats every night but shhhhh don't tell Mom, I'm on a diet!

Max:
Starting Weight: 48.5 pounds
Goal Weight: 45 pounds

My name is Max and I'm cute! I love to eat and people food is my favorite too but unlike Sadie who has to whimper, I've learned to communicate by staring at the humans and drooling until they hand over the food. Sometimes I have to pant a bit and prance around to make sure they know I'm there and waiting but I always get my food! My favorites are cheese, meat, vegetables and whipped cream. I love toast but only if it has butter on it. I love pizza but I won't eat it cold. I enjoy having my neck scratched and my belly rubbed. I truly believe the humans main job is to rub my belly. I roll over and they obey, works like a charm. Everywhere I go people think I'm a puppy because I'm short and cute and they let me get away with everything. My hobbies include: going for walks, playing outside, laying in the sun by day, staring at the stars and moon night, watching geckos, licking frogs, sleeping on the chair and sofa, patrolling the house, sitting in the front window and growling at everyone who walks by, barking should they get to close and running to warn the humans of intruders. I hate cats, cats are NOT allowed in MY yard! Unlike Sadie, I don't slobber on the humans but I do give kisses, especially to my human Mommy. I'm very protective of my family and I'm a good guard dog. They humans don't realize how much work it is being this cute. I love treats, bring on the treats. I'd do a flip for a treat. Don't tell our human Mommy but Daddy still gives us extra biscuits at bedtime every night. He is only supposed to give us two each, he gives us three.
