So first off in seriousness I is very excited about my Second place finish in the Adventure Animals Category of Mango Minster, I is so very honored. Thank you.
Now onto the random crap:
Secondly this picture is for Puddles because I think she sneaked this into my valentines day candy and I wanted her to know is found it and it wasn't funny. She should keep her boogies to herself.
Let me biggify....
Speaking of biggified, I was chattin' wif Momma and I was asking her why sometime little doggies gets scared of me when I hovers over them. So Momma tooks some photos to explain it to me.
Holy Crap look at how big my lips are!!
And I looks like an old man, no wonders I scare the little pups sometimes.... geesh
Oh and lastly look at the awesome drool wall art i made this week:

Okays, first things first -I had a setback with my knee and I is back on medicine and crossing my paws very hard that my healing will get back on track. We talked with Mr. Vet and he said he wasn't surprised that I "tweaked" my knee again because of my past history. So what if ALL my health problems are labeled "self induced" on my record, whatever. Momma's been a wreck abouts my potential surgery and the woman won't even let me go out into the FENCED backyard to do my business at 5:30 in the morning unless I'm on a leash. She says she can't trust me not to try to do zoomies in the snow. Crazy woman - who does zoomies at 5:30 in the morning? 6 maybe, but nots 5:30.
We were surprised when a big package arrived this week!
Look at all the loot! I heated bed, that the kittehs are totally excited about (it says it's a small dog bed but they can't read and Vader is extra Fat fluffy anyway). A drinkwell waterer that we will gives to cousin Bambi (since the kitteh's already have one of these great inventions), some toys for me and a t-shirt for the hoomans.
Momma and Dad loves the shirt!
I claimed the toy beaver immediately
And these lickety sticks are great, it was my first time trying them.
See how big my tongue is? Oh and there is a little drool.
And I gots this very awesome treat ball, here is video of me figuring out how to use it. (Caution I make funny noises when I play wif something the first time).
Thank you very much PetSafe for your very generous prize package! Thank you Wyatt for letting me know about the contest, and congrats for be a winner too!
"You don't need to go hiking all over the countryside wasting unnecessary energies to be an adventure animal. Just trying new stuff like my physical therapies school or being bold enough to approach something scary or just about anything you can think of. After all, isn't life just one big adventure?"
I is very excited for another year of Mango Minster! This year I is entering the Adventure category. I had a lot of adventures this year and all three years of my Dane life so far. Before I gets started recapping some of my adventures lets start wif the basics.
1. Every good adventure needs a little luggage. I mean come on, I was gonna be gone for at least 4 hours.
2. Brings a Map - the hoomans get lost
3. Drinks plenty of water
AND.....
4. Always scoop - makes the hoomans do it - yes you too little pups. I knows your poops may not be huge but they is still poop. Yes it stinks, but it stinks even mores when you steps in it. I always gotta carry my own on hikes.
So what kind of adventures do i take? Walkies at State Parks, the National Park, and the Rails to Trails System.
You can't forgets about Beach Walkies!
Then there's trips to the camp (near the scary playground steps).
This year I went to Vegas wif Corbin, joined a tick party in ConnecTICKut, and passed through border crossing to Canada. Canada even put up no Tucker signs when they heard I was coming... Not very welcoming if you ask me.
Now indoor adventures are ok, like Petco & PetSmart. But I also have gone to the Bank, Home Depot, Lowe's, and yes Dooney and Burke. I promise I didn't slobber on any purses.
Oh and Ice cream stores! I can't forgets about those.
But, outdoor adventures are the best! Like the vacation on the lake last August and Ice Fishing in February.
Also, traveling to rescue fundraisers always makes you new friends
Now you don't need to leave home to have an adventure! This year I've made an attempt at agility, fostering Navi and Mac, raising chickens, dancing to Elvis, and hula hooping!
The best part of adventures is just getting to go - it doesn't matter where!
And of course coming home to your couch is kinda nice too.
My recycled kitteh brudder Vader would like to do a post.... I can't believe I'm letting him but it's for a good cause.
I was adopted from a shelter a little over a year ago. My humans came to the shelter to find a cat that was male, got along with dogs, liked to play, and would be a companion to the old kitty Patch. I do play a lot with Patch and I enjoy cuddling and chasing my kitty sister Ellie.
I'm a pretty chill guy and don't get into too much trouble. Ok, so I ate all the house plants, I get up on the counters, and I can open unlocked doors. But, besides that I'm purrfect!
I came from The Ark Animal Shelter where I was turned over because the human that had me first couldn't afford to take care of me anymore. So many of us are turned over for no fault of our own. We all need a human to rescue us.
My Momma remembers seeing him when she picked out me. So, Ace has been at the shelter for over a year! He definitely needs a home to call his own. He's a little shy and needs a quieter home versus the shelter. Check out Ace here: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/10367413
I am pawticipating in Mayzie's Rescue Me Week in honor of Grampa J.
I would like to re-introduce you all to Mac! Mac was my foster brother for a little while and I loved having him around.You may already know Mac - I blogged about him here:
While he was with us I tried to teach him to swim, but that is kinda like the blind leading the blind since I can't actually swim. We played with toys together, we played bitey face, and I enjoyed spending time going on rides and walkies wif him.
Well, he's still looking for a home! Can you believe it, nobody has gobbled him up yet. I don't understand he's a lovebug and likes everyone. He deserves a forever home. See his pet finder page here, along wif a video of us playing!!! And if you live in Maine or NH and would like more information on Mac please contact Coastal Maine Great Dane Rescue!
If you would like to pawticipate in this most generous Rescue Me Week, go see Mayzie.

"The Trick is in the Training" by Stephanie Taunton & Cheryl Smith
I used this one for learning some new tricks for Honey's Dancing with the Doggie Stars.
"Mini Encyclopedia of Dog Training & Behavior" by Colin Tennant
This is all those terrible things like stay, heel, no barking, and sitting. Not for doggies to enjoy at alls. It helps the hoomans remedy our bad habits. But, I for one don't believes barking is a bad habit. I likes it.
OMG - I gots a package in the mail today! It was from my friend Corbin! Corbin and I went on an adventure to Las Vegas together (see that adventure here) and he sent me thank you pressies!
Oh What is in here!

Look at all the loot!
I gots cookies, a blue toy, a red bone stuffy, two big doggie tennis balls, a skunk non-stuffy, a bully stick and french fries!
That's me... ALL sizes.
I loves all the pressies and can't decide which toy to play wif first.....
