I'm grounded for life I think!

I was just being curious, that is my defense. I am sitting by the back door watching for squirrels. Mommy has let me out on the deck before and I always come right back in with her. She went out to do put a cover on our outside stove cooker griller thing and I decided it was time for me to explore the lay of the land. I wanted to see the backyard on my own, I am a big girl now.

Come on Mommy please let me out, I won't do anything sassy (giggles and paws crossed behind my back) Just open the door and you will see how good I am.

As soon as she opened the door, down the stairs I went. Our backyard leads to something called a 'marsh" I don't know what that is except that it is wet back there. I decided to run like the wind to the front yard. Mommy had to run to try to catch me and with her bad back, she couldn't run too fast. By the time she caught up to me I was in the road in front of our house barking at some kids on skate boards telling them to knock it off. Mommy caught me there. Why was she so mad at me?? I was just being curious. Now I can't go out by myself at all and I am grounded, so no parties for me for a while. I will try to change her mind, cause turkey day is coming and I don't want to be in trouble for that. Can you talk to her??

Please???? I am not exactly sure what grounded is, but I know she is pretty mad at me and I don't like that at all.

p.s. can you send treats, I think grounded means no treats, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Sasha really scared me when she ran off and especially when I found her in the road. I know better then to ever let her out there without a leash again, but in the past she has been very good and stayed with me on our deck. Lesson learned and don't worry she is still getting plenty of treats.

The Aftermath

Hi my pals, well another Halloween has come and gone. I am tired from all the excitement so I am posting a few pictures that I hope you enjoy. Mommy and Big Sis gave out over 200 treats and froze their butts off. I mostly stayed in with my Daddy and barked at the intruders taking our candy. My Bid Sis made a really cool pumpkin just for me! Have a good week my pals.

Solidarity with Martha and Bailey and Awards and Stuff

First I got a yummy looking award from my gal pal Coco at Cocorue , please go visit her, she is so pretty and so much fun to know. Thank you Coco for sharing the love with me.

Next I would like to thank some other gal pals Martha and Bailey at Martha Basset for this great award that they gave to all their friends. I am proud to be your friend and thank you. Please visit them soon.

Martha and Bailey are staging a protest on the flashy beast. As a dog, I feel I must join them in this. We need better wages for the torment we go through by the flashy beast. More treat is all I am asking. I want to be rewarded for each session, that's all. It is fair, I bring my family so much entertainment, a reward is in order. So this is how I will be posing until my demands are met. Thank you for your support.

I just hope Mommy doesn't get mad and stop giving me treats and making me homemade cookies. I hope I can hold out. I love you Martha and Bailey.

Pet Pride

Please visit Pet pride for more great pet photos and storiesMom got over to Target and unfortunately they had some pet costume supplies already in the dollar area. Mom loves the dollar area, she can spend forever there I am told.

This is how I choose to wear my princess hat. It is my interpretation and I think it looks better this way.

Now if I could just get it off and hide it somewhere.

My Mom wants me to tell you that I have been a good girl lately and am improving in some areas. When the bad man was here to check on the kitchen progress, I did bark at first, but after Mom made me sit and told me to shush a few times, I did give in and sit quietly next to her. This is progress for me. We have also been playing a game called "targeting" Mommy puts her hand out and calls me, I touch her hand and I get a small treat or a scratch behind the ears(my favorite). Well now when they open the door and I accidently(on purpose) run out without my leash, Mommy just calls me and puts out her hand and for the past 2 weeks, I come right to her or my sis or Dad. I can't go out without my leash in the front because I have this crazy obsession with chasing cars or bikes or anything going past me fast. Mom is afraid to ever let me out without a leash because I might chase and get hurt or worse. I did get out once, when I first came to live here and it was very scary for her. She just wanted me to show you I can be a good girl and not sassy all the time.
