Sasha has news to share

Hello my friends, while I was out taking a walk today I came across a p-mail message from some of my neighborhood friends. I would like to pass it on to you. Since I can't send it by p-mail I will have Mommy type it for me. It came originally from The Animal Rescue Site(animalrescuesite.com) You may have already read it but it can't hurt to pass it along again. Animal shelters always need help financially. I was thinking that perhaps if we all went together and voted for one site, we may have a chance of one site winning some money. Of course we can all go individually to our favorite sites, I just thought it might have more impact if we all banded together and kept voting daily for the same site. I don't know, please let me know what you think.

"Beginning today and each day through December 20th, you can cast your vote for your favorite participating Petfinder.com shelter or rescue group. You could help that shelter win one of three big prizes, which include a $3,000 grant for third place; $5,000 grant for second place; and a $20,000 Grand Prize grant.
In addition to those grants, we're offering a pair of $2,000 judged prizes for the most touching story and photo from a shelter. We know there are plenty of heartwarming tales of rescued animals out there, so if you work at a participating Petfinder.com rescue organization, visit our story page to share your favorite story and photo today!
The prizes don't end there. There will be weekly $1,000 grants given, plus $1,000 prizes given to top vote-getters in each of the 50 states, and Washington D.C., the top two organizations in Canada and one pet shelter or organization located outside North America. Every vote counts so don't hesitate: Start today!
Get the word out and send our $100,000 Shelter+ Challenge e-card to up to 20 of your friends and family members at a time. Spread the word, cast your vote and help animals in need today!"

Sashy's College Football Friday!!!

Hello to all my friends. It is another football Friday. The Wisconsin Badgers will be playing Fresno State tomorrow in a non-conference game at home in historic Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin. At our house College football means a lot of yelling and good food. Mommy always makes a tailgate party which always makes my tail wag. Here are some suggestions to pass on to your families for the party.

1. Cheese and crackers, you can never go wrong with this and I always end up getting my share. They are from Wisconsin, no respectable tailgate would go without this.

2. Grilled brats and hot dogs, this is a Wisconsin have to have it food. I usually can mooch some hot dog, if I am lucky. Try to persuade them to make sandwiches, more chance for meat.

3. Jalapeno Popper Dip, I don't care so much for this, it is a little spicy but if you are interested, Mom has the recipe on her comfort food blog.

4. Watermelon, need I say more, there is always room for watermelon.

5. Cookies shaped like Bucky Badger with red and white sprinkles, oh my these are good.

Well that is it for this edition. I will be back next Friday with more tailgate ideas and suggestions. Have a fun football Saturday, wherever you are(sorry Brutus you have to watch Ohio, I hope they don't lose too badly). 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.

Eyewatch Friday and Sasha's Important Tip of the Week!

Please visit Norwood at norwood unleashed! for more eyes to watch.

Hello my friends, as you may know there have been lots of home changing things going on around here lately. Mom found the info below from the ASPCA and we both thought it would be good to pass it along. I don't normally eat glue myself, but I do sometimes chew on furniture and areas that may have glue, so we felt it was good for my pet friends to be informed. Hope you all have a nice Labor Day weekend and get lots of goodies and no tummy aches. Pet Poison Alert: Accidental Ingestion of Wood Glue on the Rise

Our country’s new-found thrift has lead many homeowners to save a penny by tackling do-it-yourself home improvement projects. But take care, pet parents—you may be exposing your furry friends to dangerous tools and tricks of the trade. Polyurethane glue, a water-resistant adhesive and favorite of woodworkers, is highly toxic if ingested by cats and dogs.
According to data from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), pet poisonings from wood glues—and other adhesives containing the substance diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI)—are on the rise. In the past 12 months, the APCC handled more than 170 cases of pets who ingested expanding glues. Of those incidents, the majority involved dogs and were evaluated at high or medium risk for developing severe, life-threatening problems.
Polyurethane glue—also known by brand names like Gorilla Glue and Elmer’s Pro-Bond—is prized for its ability to bond to wood. If eaten, however, the glue expands in the stomach’s warm, moist environment and forms a softball-sized lump. A dog who eats even a small amount of MDI-based adhesive can experience severe gastrointestinal problems resulting in blockages and requiring emergency surgery to remove the mass.
Pet parents should treat any expanding adhesive as a potential hazard, since the offending chemical MDI is not always listed on product labels. Like all toxic household products, wood glue should be stored in a secure cabinet to prevent your furry beloveds from coming into contact with it. If you suspect your pet has ingested polyurethane glue, please call your vet or the ASPCA’s 24-hour poison hotline at (888) 426-4435. And for more information about keeping your pet domestically sound, check out our handy online guide to creating a poison-safe home.

New Kitchens are EVIL

Hello my friends. I always had a bad feeling about this new kitchen idea from the start. I am sad to say that I was right. My Mommy got a new sink with a new sprayer thingy(the old one was broken) and to celebrate I get a BATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ask you how is that a way to celebrate. Mommy needs to look that word up in the dictionary. Oh the horror of it all, she kept spraying me and spraying me, I tried to fight, but in the end I am clean. It took me days and weeks to get this good smell on me and its gone, just like that for no reason at all. I think she even held my head under water at one point and I blacked out. Sasha, I did not you take that back!! Oops ok maybe she didn't but she looked like she wanted to. I am defeated and I need a nap.

Beware sink sprayer thingy's my friends.

Camera Critters

Please visitCamera Critters Meme for all kinds of cool pictures Things are slowly getting back to normal around here. I found the box with my toys in it! So far they are all safe, I will get back to you after a complete inventory.

Mommy is having problems with her back again, so far she had 2 shots in it and it hasn't helped. She hasn't been able to take many pictures so we are using this older one, it was right after one of my horrible haircuts. Mommy is moving a little slow on blogging, but she knows her bloggy friends understand and we will keep up the best we can.

An Award and EyeWatch Friday!!

Look what I got from Martine at I need a Sugar fix . She is my friend and I love her, Martine has new puppies that she rescued, they are so cute and technically I am related to them(Sugar and I were twins, separated at birth), so I am very protective. Please go and visit her. The only rule is to name 5 bloggers who visit at least once a week. Most of my friends visit often(I am a lucky pup) so this will be hard. I will send the love this time to A Wiener Dog Blog aka Twix, she has been under the weather, I hope it cheers her up. Next my pal Jan at Animal Talk who is an animal lover and children's author had someone steal one of her stories(butthead). I hope this will make her smile. Checkers at Checkers The Peek A Poo has been out working hard with his Mom(I hope he is getting lots of yogurt drops) so I think he deserves an award. My Mom is getting the insurance that his Mommy sells for me, it was a good deal and will be nice in case we might need it. Mango at Mango's Great Adventures always makes me feel safe, just knowing that there are Mango doggies makes the world safer for us little dogs(plus he is sooooooo handsome).Finally to one of my best pals ever Tweedles at http://tweedles-georgie.blogspot.com/, Tweedles and I go on many magical adventures together. I will have to stop, I love you all but that's 5 for today. Thank you again for the award.

Please visit the very cool Norwood at norwood unleashed! for more good eyewatches!! Look at this eyes, how can you not love this face?? This is my Mommy, I didn't mean to be sassy face. It works every time.

Have a nice weekend everyone, it is raining here, but at least it isn't making boom-booms so I don't have to hide yet.

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.

licks and sniffs, Sasha

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.
