Frog Hunting

Hey all! Scrap's here!  Just wanted to tell you about these little hopping things that come out at night.  My owners were outside the other night putting out some boxes for the trash guys and let me come out with them.  I was just minding my own business, peeing on some small bushes when all of a sudden I saw something jump in the grass!  I went over to inspect it and it started to hop away.  I started pawing at it and it jumped faster.  I heard my owners call it a frog.  I tried to pick it up with my mouth and just about threw up todays dinner!  Those little buggers tasted disgusting!  Believe me, I've licked some nasty things (my own butt included), but those frogs top it off.  I tried to eat some grass to get the taste out but it didn't work.  So then I just stuck to pawing at them.  There were two total that night.  I'll try to get my owners to let me out again at night soon so I can track down some more.  So far I've really enjoyed having my own yard.  Well, gotta go lick other parts of my body...bark at ya later!

Doggie Daycare

Hey there, humans!  Today I went to a place called My Doggie Daycare.  It was pretty neat.  First I went in and they ran some "temperament tests" on me to see how I interact with other dogs.  I met two different ones in the beginning.  We just said hi and hung out a little bit.  Then I had to go into a holding area and watch all the other big dogs play.  After what felt like forever (it was only 30 minutes) I got to go into the play area too.  It was awesome!  I hung out with German Shepherds and Akitas.  There were a lot of different types, I didn't know what kind they were though.  One of the German Shepherds gave me the low down on all the other dogs.  I think he was the "boss dog" there.  He told me which ones were cool, which ones were annoying, you know the inside info.  I was having so much fun, I didn't even realize I was there for 6 hours!  I really wanted to stay.  Some of the dogs stay there overnight in these big cage things.  I've never been in one of those.  Don't tell anyone, but they kind of scare me.  I enjoy having my cushy bed and blankets around me.  I also like the openness.   Being in one of those cages takes me way back before I joined the S Squad.  Those were some scary times.  The Shepherd said it was no big deal though.  I, of course agreed with him.  Can you imagine if I let on that I was a big fraidy cat?  That would be the end of me and My Doggie Daycare.  I'd be the laughing stock of the group!  I could just see it now: The Shepherd starts showing the ropes to some other dog and introduces me as the wimp of the group.  Not uh, I don't think so!  All in all my day was pretty great.  It was good to get outta my bed and do something.  I think my owners are going to send me there again.  I hope they do.  It's not every day that I get to play with dogs my own size!  Well, gotta go grab some chow, I've been so busy playing I haven't ate yet!

My Day at the Lake

'Sup all?!?  Scraps here. Well, today my owners took me to the lake.  I love going there because I get to meet all kinds of other dogs.  There was no hotties today, but it was enjoyable none the less.  The lake itself is man made and there is a wide sidewalk that goes around it entirely.  It's about a mile around.  Believe me, my old ass can only handle the one time around.  Once my owner took me around twice, once as a walk and once as a run.  I was limping for 2 days straight!  I haven't had to run since though.  Hmmm....maybe I should have faked an injury years ago....

Anyways, check out these pics from my day out.  Just click on my picture for more.

Here I am getting ready to jump out of the jeep to start my walk.  By the way, I LOVE riding in the jeep when the sides and top are off.  The wind pushing my ears back, making my eyes all squinty...LOVES IT!

 

I'm ready for Hawaii

I'm so tired of wishing for a yard!  I really just want to be able to roam free and take a dump where ever I want on my own territory.  No sharing poop space!  Now I'm forced to go to this little area where 20 something other dogs go.  Can you imagine trying to find the perfect spot where no annoying little Maltese has gone yet?  It sucks!  Well, the owners have told me that we are moving to Hawaii and that I'll have a yard.  Praise to the doggie angels!  The only thing I'm worried about is my ride on the plane.  I'm 56 years old, I'm not sure if these old bones can handle it!  Anyways, just wanted to update you on my dump situation.  I can't wait to roll around in my own yard!

Bark at ya later!
