Happy Labor Day!

Hi my pals and Happy Labor Day to all of you. I don't really get this holiday, but it is one of my favorites. First my Daddy is home from work(Mommy can't work right now, so she is always home with me), then NO BOOMBOOMS,then my Daddy makes us burgers on the grill and we do...nothing, well maybe go for a walk but thats it. Thats my kind of holiday, if there were presents it would be perfect.

Happy Labor Day to all of you

The Sasha Saturday College Football Report

Welcome to my first 2010 Football Saturday Report!!



Hi my pals, its me Sasha! I hope you are doing good and having a great Saturday. The Weather is perfect here, cool and windy. I am snugging with my Dad and catching up on college football.


Wow the Big Ten has gone kafloooey. We have a new team and I would like to give a great big Wisconsin Big Ten Welcome to Nebraska!!!!! But wait the Big Ten has twelve teams?? I don't get it. I wish when I got treats that my Mommy would say here are 10 treats but really there would be 12, that would be cool. Oh well anyway, the teams are now divided like this: Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Penn State and Ohio State( notice I put them last Brutus, snickering) will be one division and Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern will be the other division. Wow that is crazy, but fun!!!!!

As far as the tailgate party goes, well Mommy is on a special all liquid diet for a while, so Daddy and I are making do with our own snacks. Lots of cheese(duh) and Daddy will make us some burgers later on. I hope you all have a great football and Labor Day weekend. God bless you all and ON WISCONSIN!!!

A Fun Game to Play

My new friend Jasmine who happens to be a goat tagged me to play a fun game. I have never met a goat up close, but Jasmine seems really cool. Mommy showed me a video of her talking and singing I think and wow, does she have a voice. Please go visit her and watch her video at

Jasmine's Goat Jargon . She is a beautiful goat.

For the game I need to name 6 things that make me happy. This will be fun.

1. Sleeping anytime but especially with my Mommy. She is the best snuggler.

2. Eating. I do love to eat. I can be somewhat picky at times. I can never say no to cheese.

3. Playing. I have a whole big toy box full of toys. They are all my favorites, but my mostest favorite is my squeaky hot dog and blue elephant and my stuffy mango.

4. Snack time, not to be confused with eating, these are 2 totally different events. I am a big fan of pupperoni and Zen treats.

5. Walky time. My Dad and my sis mostly take me and I love to go, but I am also very excited to come back. I don't like to be away from Mommy for too long.

6. Nap time, not to be confused with sleeping, totally different. Naps are shorter and more frequent.

I always have a hard time tagging people to play as I don't know where to stop. I am going to tag

1. Olive , Olive is a newer blogger and I would like to know more about her.

2. Burnt Chicken Republic I would like to know more about Coffee and Oreo

3. I need a Sugar fix Captain and Candy are just babies so I think it would be fun to read what they like so far.

I tag anyone else who would like to play this fun game.

My battle with the new floor ends!

Lets start with a quick game of "Where's Sasha?" Can you find me in the messy jungle, I used to call home. If you follow my blog(and I hope you do) you may know that our kitchen had a flood and evil men have been coming here every day FOREVER to fix things. When they are here, instead of protecting my Mom, I get locked upstairs in a bedroom. Mommy does come and play with me a lot, but how can I protect her if I am locked up??

Next the potty thing the humans use broke when the men were fixing the floor, so that made a mess and more men had to come and more time locked up!Will my house ever get back to normal?

Well, guess what? I lost the battle of the floor, in spite of my constant objections, crying, barking and whining, somehow a new floor got put in along with a new potty. Next my Daddy was nice enough to surprise my Mommy and took some money from a special account and bought her a new stove and microwave oven. Mommy had the same stove for almost 30 years. One of our friends bought a new house and already had a dishwasher, so they gave Mommy the Maytag dishwasher that came with the house for free and it is almost brand new! Ours was broken.

My Mommy is about the happiest Mommy in the world right now, with her new kitchen, so I guess I will be happy for her too. Especially now that it is all over. The new floor is pretty cool, it feels good on my tummy and I can do good zoomies on it. I just hope nothing else goes wrong, I can't take anymore, and I hope all my toys are going to come back now. I think the evil men might have taken some.

p.s. Mommy doesn't want you to think she is bragging, it has just been a really long time since we have had anything like this done and she is soooooo excited to have a new kitchen. We were kind of lucky that insurance will cover some of the damage.

Thankful Thursday

This Thursday I am thankful for my Dad. Well I am always, but today is my tribute to him. My Dad is on kidney dialysis and we are waiting for a kidney transplant, I would give him one of mine but the doctor said no. I am so proud of him. When he comes home from work, the first thing he does is pick me up and hold me. Next we go for a walk and then treats, of course. Every morning he takes me out first thing before he goes to work and then treats , of course. I love to snuggle by him and watch tv. We like to watch fishing shows on Saturday and mostly I sleep. Sometimes I sleep with him and sometimes my Mom, I need to share the love. Dads are great!

licks and sniffs, Sasha

p.s. I need to point out(well Mom is making me) that when I first came to live with my family, I accidently, well sort of, kind of bit him pretty bad and at first we didn't quite see eye to eye. We grew to love each other and that is why I appreciate him so much more, because he let me bite him and forgave me.

Mystery Light

Last night we were snuggling as usual and watching that talky box thing that Mom and Dad seem to like a lot. Everything got dark, everywhere. I thought I was dreaming but I was awake because everyone got up and Dad said some words that he only says when hes mad. Mom said, oh no, the power went out, whatever all I know is it is dark. My sister comes in and she has the only light anywhere and she isn't sharing it. Can you see it? I am trying real hard to grab it and give it to Mommy, but sis won't let me get it. I get real close and it moves real fast. To make matters worse, everyone is laughing about something. What a bunch of kooks my family is sometimes. Everything is dark, there is one little circle of light left and they are all laughing when I try to get it.

Well after a little while, the big lights came back on. I am exhausted. Next time they can try to catch the light themselves.

Me and My Dad by Sasha

I love my Dad, here we are celebrating his birthday last winter, I gave him a bag of my favorite treats. He shared them with me, he is so cool.

After the party we were both pretty tired and I love to sleep with him, he has a blanket that gets nice and snuggy warm when its cold out. Here we are snuggling again after I got a haircut, I was pretty bummed out that day and he was very comforting.

Happy Father's Day Daddy and to all of my friends Daddy's and Grandpaws

Love Sasha

My Daddy is the best, I sleep upon his chest.

He holds me tight, I sleep all night.

We like to go for walks, or just have little talks.

He sometimes make loud sighs, when I chew up one of his ties.

With him I don't wear bows as we watch our fishing shows.

My Daddy is the best, north, south, east or west.

Sassy Sasha Discovers Tomato Soup

My sister, Katy put a yummy bowl of food on the table, she began to eat it and wasn't sharing any with me. I am not sure what it is but it must be good, because she is ignoring me. I hear that noisy little red machine she carries around with her, sometimes she talks into, how goofy is that!

Ah, she gets up to find her noisy machine. The bowl is just sitting there, no sense in letting any of it go to waste. Waste not, want not I always say. Yummy, it is so good, a liquid of some sort, I can't stop it is so good. Now everyone is upset with me. What did I do? Why is she taking it away? If she didn't want me to have it she shouldn't have left it there. These humans are so hard to figure out sometimes. Oh no, now my Mom is coming with a wet piece of Daddy's shirt or something, I feel a face washing coming, time to go.

SASHA FINDS A FRIEND IN THE MIRROR

OK I AM HAVING A REALLY BAD DAY AGAIN. FIRST EVERYONE SAID THAT I SMELLED BAD, AFTER I HAD A GOOD ROLL IN THE GRASS OUTSIDE. IT FELT SO GOOD BUT I GUESS MY MOM AND SISTER DIDN'T AGREE BECAUSE SURPRISE I GOT THROWN IN THE SHOWER. AS IF THAT ISN'T BAD ENOUGH I GOT OUT AND THERE IS ANOTHER DOG IN HERE WITH ME. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? WELL I AM GOING TO PUT A STOP TO THIS, I AM GOING DOWN TO TELL MY DAD AND YOU BETTER NOT FOLLOW ME!

SASHA GUARDS HER "SISTER"

Sasha can be very cuddly but it is usually on her terms, I guess this is where we could use the dog whisperer. When my husband gets home from work, she goes right up to him and scratches at his legs until he picks her up. He carries her around as we chat and she is very calm. I can pet her, she will give me kisses all is right with the world. When my daughter Katy gets home Sasha also gets very excited, however when Katy picks up Sasha no one can come near. If anyone comes within a short distance she will bark and growl sometimes scratching Katy in the process. I am with her the most so I usually hold her when no one is around. I think when she is with her "Dad" she feels protected but when she is with her "sister" she feels like she has to be the protector. I don't know but in any case, she will not share Katy! When we watch tv at night, she loves to cuddle by us, but again if you come near her and Katy she goes nuts! She is her sisters keeper!
