Update ** Long Over Due
I thought I had logged in and left an update a few months ago, but I guess I probably started to do it and then got too upset and never actually finished it. KJ was hit by car on October 1, 2007. I was visiting a friend and they left the door open and he got out. Before I could grab him, some idiot driving well over the posted 25 MPH speed limit, hit him. He had to be put down.
At first I thought I might die too. I was, and still am, so heart broken over it. I miss him so much and there is hardly a day that goes by that I don't cry. How do you deal with losing someone who was part of you? He went everywhere with me. I know that he is still my co-piliot, but it will never be the same. I wish that I could turn back the hands of time and erase what happen. That way he would still be here with me to meet Cali.
Cali, or anybody, could never take his place in my heart or on this earth. I know that Puppers would have loved Cali and I think she might have liked him. KJ... We miss you so much and regret the day you left us. If we could change it we would. Until we meet again Puppers, you will be in our hearts every day.
Funny Dog Sayings...
I found this website today and it had me laughing all afternoon. They have all kinds of funny notes, sayings, poems, and other “junk” about dogs, from dogs, and to dogs. They have stuff for all kinds of dogs, but they have stuff just for rotties too. It's cute and funny.
I Love Philadelphia!!!
I have been in Philly now for 2½ weeks and I love it. I go to the park almost everyday. I swim in the water and play tug -a-war with sticks. Moms takes me everywhere with her - I would not have it any other way. When she leaves me in the room, I cry and cry real loud until she comes back for me!! Sometimes it gets hot in the car - but I don’t care as long as she doesn’t leave me alone. It’s kind of weird being away from home so much. I am starting to think that people are scared of me or something. Most people jump back when they see me, like I am terrible or something. Why am I so scary? Mom says I need to go to training. She got some book that she is reading. Sometimes when I get real hyper Dad says that I am out of control. How can I help it if their food is better than mine? I just cannot help but to want it. Mom said that they need to stop giving me people food all together. NOOOOOOOO!! That would be terribleL I hope they get this training thing figured out soon though - I just want to be a good dog and I don’t Moms to stop loving me the way she does. She even lets me sleep in bed next to her!! Now that is really the best!!!
I am Back!!!
I know I have not been on here in like a month. It has been a long, strange, and tiring month for me. Moms and Dad were not together and I was with Moms most of the time. Then she would bring me to Dad and he would take me back to Moms. I was so confused. Moms hurt me by mistake. I mean I was hurt - I got scraps on my legs and stuff, but I am all better now. Moms was crying and very mad at my Dad because she said it was his fault. After all that though, somehow we are all together again and things are good again. I am happy. I am back home with Moms and Dad. I am so happy about being home that this morning I ran off!! I had to go scope out the neighborhod. We were away all last week and this I think we are going again this week. Dad must have a pretty cool job because we get to travel all over the place and see so many things. Moms took me to see some Liberty Bell last week. That was pretty cool. I ran all around this park and played with so many kids. The ride to get there is long - like 2 hours!! All I know is that right now - I am happy and glad I am back!!Their back!!!!!
Okay so Dad came home on Wednesday and Mom came home on Thursday. I was just so excited I could not concentrate on anything besides getting some loving from them. I am so glad they came back. Dad is mad at me though because I chewed up the carpet and the blinds and I had an accident or two in the house. But what do you want from me? You leave me alone for that long and expect me to be good. That Missy chick was not here all the time. She only came a few times each day and never stayed long – I got lonely. But it doesn’t matter to me now – they are home!!Left Alone
Saturday July 14, 2007
Okay someone – ANYONE – please help me. I am alone. I have been alone for hours now. Well Moms and Dad left around lunch time and it is just now getting dark – so it might be like 8 hours since they left. I have a bad feeling about this.
That dumb Missy girl came to feed me and let me out side for awhile. She calls me Cujo though and I just don’t know why. She brought that little boy with her. He is fun to play with but he doesn’t play for long. Then he runs off crying for his mom. I just don’t get it.
When Moms and Dad left they took all the luggage but not me. Why not me? When Moms woke up this morning and went to her car to get something out – I ran and jumped in the car and would not come out. I had a feeling they were leaving me behind. Moms did try to make me feel better, but it only worked for a minute. She hid treats all over the house. I still don’t think that I found them all. She found all my favorite balls with the bells inside and left them for me to play with. It only worked for a minute though.
Then about an hour ago, I was sleeping in my favorite spot by the door – waiting patiently for hem to come home. I got all excited because their voices woke me up. I was not dreaming – it was them. Dad was telling me to get my toy. I was so excited. Moms kept calling my name – but then she said “I miss you”. Then they were gone… It was like a dream – but I know I was awake. I am positive that I was awake. I am so confused. Someone please help me!!
What Is The Problem??
Friday July 13, 2007
I don’t understand what is going on around this house today. I am confused. Moms is cleaning everything and starting to pack some things in suitcases. I remember this from when I first moved home with Moms and Dad. We went for a long car ride and stayed in this room somewhere. That is where I first learned to drink out of the toilet. The water from there is cold and I like it.
I think I would like doing that again – I mean going for a long car ride and staying in one room with Moms and Dad. That would be fun. The only problem is that Moms is not packing my stuff up. What is the matter with her? Is she going to forget about all my stuff? How could she? She remembered EVERYTHING else!!
Dad keeps saying something about “poor puppers”. Poor Puppers nothing – there is nothing wrong with me. I am ready to go. What is wrong with them? Are they crazy or something?
Hey Ma!! Look What I Can Do!!
Today I found the greatest place to swim. It was so hot out and I just had to get wet. Mom left me outside with Dad while he was fixing his car. Dad never remembers to keep an eye on me when he is working on something – so I took off the first chance that I got. I waited until he was real busy and then off I went.
In front of the house is a little creek and I always go down there and get wet, but that is only a little wet – like up to my belly. Of course I have to stick my whole head under the water and see what is under there!! Today though I went a little further than the creek I think – I was swimming completely in water – well it felt like water but it was not clear like the water I drink. It was brown and on the bottom it was mushy. My feet kept sinking into the ground. With all the rain the ponds in the neighborhood are full of nice cool water, but the water is a little yucky. I did not care though I just went right in.
It was not long before I heard Dad calling for me so I hurried up and ran back home. Boy was he mad at me. I only went across the street for a quick swim. He must be mad because the last time he saw me jump into water I just kept sinking to the bottom. It was like a never ending hole and it seemed like forever until I came to the top and I know I must have looked scared because I was trembling inside. I think it scared Dad too. He said something about jumping in after me. The pond is different though – I just walk into that water and even if it stinks and is brown I still like it.
I tried to cry a little at the door so mom would open the door and let me in. I wanted her to know where I was and what I had done – after all it is so cool to swim. Mom opened the door but Dad told her not to let me in. He said I was all wet. Mom closed the door quick but I ran to the back door and cried at that door instead. I know Moms and she feels bad when I cry. It doesn’t take long for me to get my way when I cry. Mom opened the front door again to tell me to stop but I was not hearing her. I ran right past her and into the house. She kept trying to get me outside but I wouldn’t go. I kept running around and thought about running to the bedroom to jump on the big cushy bed (it bounces you know!!) but when I would start to head that way Mom would yell at me.
Finally Dad got me out of the house. On the way out I walked into Moms legs. They turned brown like the water!! What is going on here? The brown water is stuck to me!! All over me!! Dad took me out back and tied me to the porch. I knew what was coming. I did this once before and have not done it since. They punished me so bad last time. I was dreading what was going to happen – and all for a swim in the pond. Please don’t do it Dad!! Please not the bath!! I hate the bath. Don’t do it to me.
Well I got a bath. The brown water kept coming off me forever. It stuck to my belly and legs. It was so thick – maybe it was not water. I do not know. All I know is that it was fun while do le it lasted but I don’t think it was worth getting a bath for. I would take anything besides a bath.
Mom came out with some stuff to put on me that turned into bubbles. She kept standing next to me and rubbing the stuff on me. She was getting hit with the water from the house too. Is she nuts just standing there letting Dad soak her!! If I was not tied to this fence I would have been long gone. Finally it was over. The water stopped and mom got me some treats. Then she said I had to stay outside until I dried – more punishment!! Not fair. Since it was so hot I dried quickly though. Dad made some burgers on the grill for lunch and he made one just for me. Then I got to chew on the corn ears that Moms and Dad threw in the yard for the deer. Moms brushed me and took me in the house. It is nice and cool inside here and I am so tired now - I think I will go sleep in my favorite spot by the door and dream of swimming some more.
Tasha Revenge
Saturday July 7, 2007
Today I took KJ and Tasha to the park down the street from my moms’ house. What a mistake that was. My little 110 lbs with a 75lb dog and a 50 lb dog – not a good idea. They over-powered me.
Last week one day when we were at my moms, KJ got out the front door as someone was trying to get in. There just happened to be a man walking his Pit Bull down the street and KJ took off after the Pit. KJ just wanted to play but the damn Pit bit him in the ear. I felt bad because KJ was not on a leash, but what could I do?
Anyway, when we got to the park and started to walk down the path both dogs started pulling me. Who should be walking down the down towards us but the Pit from my moms’ house!! Now the dogs really started going nuts. They pulled me so hard I thought I was going to fall on my face. I got them over behind some trees where I thought we could just wait for the other dog to go by. I am not that lucky though. Tasha pulled right out of her collar and took off. So now I am stuck in the middle of a field with one dog on his leash and one off her leash. I tried to get KJ over to the fence so I could chain him to the fence for a minute while I got Tasha. That was not happening. He got out of his collar too but he is so dumb that he just stood in front of me so I could put it back on him.
I dragged his ass back to the car and went to get Tasha. I did not make it there though before she bit the Pit. I don’t think she hurt him but she did get him good. What a mess. What a stupid idea. KJ needs some damn training bad. I have considering one of those shock collars, but I just don’t know. He needs something before he kills me. He is just too big and powerful for my little ass to control. Soon he is going to weigh more than me and then what I am going to do? I better get his ass into some type of training.
A Trip To Gramma's House
Sunday May 13th, 2007
Puppers and I went to my moms’ house for the day. My mom doesn’t really want Puppers there because of Smokey the cat and she thinks that Tasha and KJ don’t really get along. So after some bickering back and forth and me leaving for a few hours with KJ, she let us sleep in the house. She was not happy about it but I think KJ could grow on her. He was so good.
By the time we got to my moms though he was sleeping on the front seat. He really likes going in the car now. When you have to leave him somewhere you can hear him crying at the door. It is kind of cute but yet it just tears at my heart.:( He follows me everywhere. Kayla is getting used to him playing rough the way he does. I am learning what all of his little “signs” are. Like when he has to go out, when he wants water, when he gets hungry, and when he just wants attention. I am sure glad I have him now.
It must be kind of strange for him to make all these adjustments. I kind of feel bad… I mean he never was in the car and now I have him in the car all the time. He goes to my moms and see’s all kinds of people. However, he seems to be adjusting well to everything. He seems to be happy and he seems to like everything and everyone.

KJ likes everyone at my mom’s house. He just gets so excited and so overwhelmed. Last night we got pizza for dinner. KJ stole half of my slice of pizza off my plate. To make matters worse Kayla was the one holding the plate! He is going to be a handful for me. When you leave him alone he whines like such a baby. I had to put the gate across down stairs so I could do some stuff and he kept putting his nose in all my stuff. He just sat there and cried. The whole entire time I was packing the car he was under my feet. He was driving me crazy. I dropped more stuff because he was just constantly under my feet everywhere I turned. He is so cute though. I am glad I got him.
We spent the night at Nana’s house. When we got to there he was so good. He played with Kayla on the porch and checked out everything. I went to get him some bones for the night. Nana said that at first he just sat out on the porch and cried. I know he loves me just as much as I love him. I hope I have it in me to take care of him.
