a sleepy dog day

I spent most of da day sleepin' inna house an onna deck. A pretty normal sleepydog day. But den dis afternoon, when Kyle had ta go werk onna compooter, he said later we'd go to da Seal Fountain.

an' we did! I gots ta go an hang out wif Kyle an Dad and see other dawgs and growl an bark at dem. And so many smells! We gots no downtown smells around da house. It was great. An now I'm sleepin agin.
Sniff ya later.

Yappy Birfday!

Yappy Birfday to Merlin, our big buddy in Illinois. An' hey to Vicki and all our furends there. Looks like it was a good party.

Uncommon Senses

(from DogFancy Magazine):

The average dog detects sights, sounds, and smells that are inaudible,
invisible, and, well, unsmellable to us.

Dogs spot distant moving objects better than we can and have wider fields
of vision. But it's at night their eyes shine--literally. A reflective membrane
in the back of each eye improves vision in dim light--and creates those scarey
"devil dog" snapshots. But don't let dogs choose your clothes; they can't
distinguish green from red or gray, although they can tell blue from yellow.

Dogs hear high-frequency sounds we can't......Dogs hear sounds farther
away than humans can, so they recognize a familiar car coming to your
house several seconds before you hear it. Also, dogs have more than a
dozen muscles to tilt, turn, and raise their ears to improve reception.

Dogs have about 25 times as many scent receptors as humans, enabling
them to detect a single drop of human blood in five quarts of water.

Smart Border Collie

Here's a story 'bout a dog dats almost as smart as me.

I'm still here

Wail, I habnt been writin' much lately I guess. It's been 2 months since I did. A lot has been goin' on.

I got a owie on my leg that wooden go away, an I had ta hab sergry on it. I had a banage on my leg for bout six weeks. Dats all dun now. I gots da stitchees out on Saterday, when Kyo took me to da vet. Dere is bit kitty kats in da vets place. Weely big kats.

Speekin of kats, I gots ta go fur a rode trip wif Kyo and da Mama, all da way up to da house inna woods, where da little boy lives wif da kats. We gots ta sleep inna motel room, an' we had ta poop onna leesh.

Today, Kyo's goin' back up dere agin wif Joe, but he sez I can't go dis time. I gots ta stay here wif my gramparents an da Happy dog. I gess I'm gonna miss Kyo, an heez gonna miss me.
