Hello Everydoggie!

I'm baaaccckkk! Momma has been soup-er busy with weddin' plans and then Auntie Kerry got somethin called a Brandon. A Brandon is a little people...only he can't play and eats and sleeps lots. Sometimes he makes full howly noises. Here is a picture of my momma with the Brandon.


So enough about the Brandon....let's talk about me. Momma's friend AmyLynn came to stay with us for a few days and she made a good pilla.

She was so comfy I decided to take a nap and had a little baco.

Since the weather is nicer I spend more time outside with my bee. I LOVE my bee.

Course all that bee chasing gets me sleepy.

Well that's it for now everydoggie. Chat with you soon.

Hello

Hey everydoggie. Sorry I have been MIA...but momma's been hoggin the puter. She said she needs it cause she and daddy are getting married. I don't know what that means but she said they are gonna have to go away for two weeks to costarika wherever that is. I hope everydoggie is doing well

Awww

Well momma got a job and so soon she will be leaving me alone during the day again. I am very sad about this but I can't wait to see Kim. Kim's the bestest doggie walker. She spends lots of time with me and comes and visit me at shows and stuff. So how is everydoggie doing?

Hey everydoggie

Sorry I haven't been around much. Mommy has been hoggin the 'puter cause she was laid off. I don't know what that means but she spends all day with me now. I got some pitchers of stuff that I will post in a day or two.

Evil Squirrels are here

Oh no...I was laying on my couch today and I heard a cklunkity cklunk on my window. I looked and there was an Evil Squirrel on momma's window birdie feeder. The evil squirrel was eatin all the birdie food. Ivy...can you come and help me guard against the evil squirrels?

Oh...I forgot...I had a great time playin with my friend Laila. Here are some pitchers.

House workin

Momma said she was dome-mess-tic yesterday. I am not sure what that means but she brought out the noisy carpet comber and the stick with a sponge on it. She didnt play with me none. It was so sad.

Momma said she would make it up to me by having Laila come over for a visit today. I can't wait. I will make sure momma takes a lot of pitchers of me & Laila

Blankies

Hey everydoggie. Thanks for all the Komp-lee-mints on my blankie. A few of you asked where you could get one so I am postin the link. It may take a few weeks to get it since Auntie Carolyn is so-ing them up by her lonesome. This is her website. The proceeds from the blankies go to the Albuquerque Boxer Rescue. Look who's modelling a blankie on the homepage.

My new blankie

Hey everydoggie. My Auntie Carolyn is doing a fundraiser for the NM Boxer Rescue. Momma wanted to help out so she bought me a new blankie. Check it out. It's awesome.

YAY!

This weekend I stayed with gramma and grampa. I was a good boy all weekend and they let me sleep with them in their bed. I love to cuddle at bedtime and the last time I was at gramma and grampa's they didnt let me cuddle them so I didnt sleep so good. This time was different and gramma woke up to see my face sleeping next to hers. She loves me.

Happy Val-in-times Day

Mommy said today is Val-in-times day. She said that its a special day when people tell each other how special they are. She said I was a special puppy and that almost exactly 1 year ago she and daddy came up to visit me for the first time. I sort of remember that...but I can't be certain. I was always playing with Lily

Brrr...it's cold

It's been so cold here that I have been hybrr-natin. Well momma decided to take some pix of me last night so I have some to show you all.

Weekend at gramma's

Sorry all my doggies. I got no pitchers to post cause I spent the weekend at gramma's cause mommy and daddy went to Buf-lo to see the grammpa I never met. N-E-Ways....I went over to gramma's on Friday night and just kept looking for momma and daddy...I thought they'd come to get me. When it was bed time gramma wouldnt let me sleep in the bed with her. I was sad until grammpa told me he'd go sleep in the other bed and let me sleep with him. I got up every hour or so to make sure the house was safe.

The next dad grammpa took me for some long walks and I pranced around a bit which made grammpa laugh. I hung out on the couch the rest of the day waiting for momma and daddy but they didn't come. At bedtime gramma let me sleep with her but because she was mean to me the night before I tried pushing her out of the bed. tee-heee.

On Sunday gramma and grammpa took me back to my house and then momma and daddy showed up. I was so happy to see them that I did my kidney bean dance for like 10 mintues. Then I went to sleep cause I didn't sleep so good cause I missed momma and daddy.

Sick

Yesterday momma stayed home with me. Daddy said she was sickly and that I should take care of her....so I made her take a nap and I cuddled up to her really close. Then when she woked up I made her eat soup and watch movies with me cuddled up in her knee pits. I was super good and didn't bark too much.

Anyway....momma said her hair is finally long enough to donate to Locks for Love. She said it would make some kid very happy cause they were more sick then momma was yesterday and they lost all their hair. I don't know how momma's hair is gonna make some kid happy but if it does then that's cool. I will have momma post before and after pitchers

Not a happy new year so far.

Sorry that I haven't updated my blog lately. Momma has been really sad cause her daddy is really sick...so I have been giving her jowly kisses and lots of boxer leans. She is getting better though. I will have more stuff to post after this weekend cause Aunties Joyce, Amy and Tara will be coming to visit. Auntie Joyce is having a box...er...I meant a baby...so we are gonna have a big party for her.

On another note, Peanut's brother Flash has run away from home. If anyone from Kentucky reads my blog...please check our Peanuts blog and help look for Flash. Peanut is so sad without his brother.

I'm pooped

Hey everydoggie. I hope you all had a Happy Ho Ho. I had a great time. On Christmas Eve I went to grammas house. There we hung out and I gots to play with everyone. The next morning was Christmas and we gots up early and had breakfast and then started opening pressies. There was so many pressies we had to take a break and have lunch. By lunch time I was sleepy but all the humans excitement over the pressies kept me awake. Finally, everything was opened and it was relaxing time. I fell alseep on the couch while everyone watched tv.

By the way...gramma loved her new puppy.

Charity

Hey hey everydoggie. Momma says now that it's the Holiday season we should take time and think about those that are less fortunate then us. So here I am to spread word to my Dawgs about two good causes.

Rocky's Rescue
Momma's friend Donna, from Boxer Crazy, started Rocky's Rescue. Donna saves poor doggies (and kitties) from bad breeders and abusive homes. We at Boxer Crazy designed a Boxer Calander (which has a pic of yours truely) for Rocky's Rescue. The calander is $25 and includes tax and shipping. Contact Hanna Banana for more details.

Pepino
Pepino is another of my boxer buddies. He is only about 8 months old and has been diagnosed with Hip Displasia, HOD, and Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease. Mac's Momma and Thor's Grammie created a whole line of Boxer Christmas products. You can check out the Boxer Charity Store for more information.

Persons of the Year

Hey everydoggie. Ciaro has voted me one of the Persons of the Year. Check out Ciaro's Place and see my Time Cover shot.

Daddy got a pro-motor-shun

Daddy is happy. He got a pro-motor-shun. I dont know what that means but momma is happy too. She said a pro-motor-shun means more bully stick money for me. So I guess that is good.

Daddy also said that means there will be no more drive by farts from his old boss. I don't know why that is a problem. Drive by fartin is fun.

Puppy Mills & Backyard Breeders

Hey everydoggie. It seems now that Christmas time is here there are a lot of advertisements for puppies. Well momma and I wanted to give you some information about Puppy Mills and Backyard Breeders.

Puppy Mills
A puppy mill is a large scale operation where doggies are repeatedly bred to product puppies for pet stores. Click here for The Humane Society's definition of Puppy Mill. The conditions that these doggies is horrible. Here are some images of puppy mills. Below are more links to puppy mills

Backyard Breeders (BYB)
Backyard breeders are dog owners that have pets that they have decided to breed. They do not test for health defects such as Cardiomyopathy or Hip Displasia. They also do not show or have their dogs evaluated by an independant expert to determine if the doggie is a good specimen of the breed. Click here to learn what Wikipedia calls a BYB. Below are links about BYBs.

http://www.answers.com/topic/backyard-breeder

As you can see...Puppy Mills and BYBs are bad. If you are thinking of getting a doggie please consider a rescue dog or getting a puppy from a Responsible Breeder. A Responsible breeder should be able to answer all questions listed here. The best way to find a responsible breeder is to contact the local breed club.
