Happy Easter

I don't think the Easter Bunny has to endure a bath on Easter, but I did. Then I had to endure the evil combs. I hope mom didn't burn the lamb while she was torturing me. Hope everyone enjoys their day.

Ride On The Ferry

2011-02-14T13:01:00.001-05:00

Saturday I went with Dad to visit Grandma in the nursing home. We had to take a ferry ride to get there. Here I am trying to convince Dad to let me sit on his lap.

I am a therapy wire. All the old people love to see me.

Spaghetti Night

2011-02-07T20:42:00.003-05:00

Saturday night was spaghetti night. Mom made homemade sauce and fresh pasta. I got to have some to. Here I am helping Mom do the dishes. Look at my beard and my chest and my neck. Eating is a contact sport.

Till next time...

I am 5 Years Old Today

2011-02-03T10:33:00.004-05:00

Hello to all my furry friends.

Today is my 5th birthday. I am waiting very patiently for my presents. I hope there is a nice chewy bone or some yummy treats involved. Can't wait for Mom and Dad to get home.

Can't wait for spring. I've had enough of the snow. All my usual spots are covered by mountains of the white stuff.

I hope all my furry friends are doing well.

Your friend,

Halloween Day

2010-11-07T22:39:00.008-05:00

Last Sunday was Halloween. The tweets were weady.

The house was weedy to scare the human pups.

I patiently waited for the human pups to show up for their tweets.

And I waited...
And waited...
And waited...
And waited some more...

I finally had to take a load off.

After all that waiting only 4 human pups showed up. Mommy and Daddy have been eating the left over tweets and I got nothing for my twoubles. I am feeling under appreciated.

Till next time...

Halloween Parade 2010

2010-10-23T23:42:00.028-04:00

Last year I marched in the annual Halloween Doggy parade put together by Fetch, my favorite pet store. Last year Mommy dressed me up as a beautiful fairly princess. Butchy and Angel Snickers Mommy made the costume for me.

I took second prize and received a basket of cheer with all kinds of treats and toys.

The bar was now set for this year. Mom was determined to get first place. Preparations were underway. There were costume fittings...

And then there was grooming...

Grooming sucks...

Saturday was the big day. We arrived early to checkout the festivities.

Mommy and I had matching pirate costumes, complete with parrots.

While walking through Port Jefferson village I met some new friends.

I received many compliments on my new costume.

Imagine my surprise when I ran into my best friend Winston. He was a bagpipe player.

It was time to march, there were hundreds of doggies participating.

When the parade was over Mommy and I got to pose for a picture with the mayor.

Cablevision News interviewed Mommy. I hope she told them to turn on Fox 5 so Daddy can watch the playoffs... HeHeHe...

Then they wanted my opinion but I was too shy.

My human sissy Melissa came to see the festivities with baby Lilly.

Well the parade judges rendered their decision. I took third place. The prize was a gift certificate to Fetch and a doggy basket of cheer. There were all kinds of treats, chewy things, and some stuffies.

I don't know what Mom has planned for me next year. Competition is tough.

Happy Halloween and Luna Licks,

Long Cruise 2010

2010-08-25T22:44:00.008-04:00

Please don't fall off your favorite piece of human furniture. Yes it is I with a new post.

We returned from our Long Cruise for the summer. Over the course of 10 days we visited the following exotic ports of call.

Hamburg Cove, CT
Stonington, CT
Block Island, RI
Mystic, CT
Clinton, CT

Here I am with Mom keeping cool in Hamburg Cove.

I spent most of my time underway sleeping, usually in someones lap if one was available.

Oh good, land is near, I need to empty...

I've developed a new habit this summer. I don't like to go on my green pad so Dad has to take me to shore on the dinghy and my favorite thing is going for rides in the dink.

I got to go running every morning with Mom and the girls on Block Island. I got to do lot's of shopping and sight seeing as well.

This weekend we are off to Milford, CT with my human sissy Melissa and baby Lillian.

Take care for now.

Luna Licks from the Lunatic.

Wirey Family News (Some Sad, Some Good)

2010-03-24T21:36:00.010-04:00

Hello to my furry kid friends.

Well I've received some sad news and good news from Florida where I came from. First the sad news. On Tuesday my wirey Grandma Maddie past over the rainbow bridge. She looked after us pups until we found our forever homes.

Above is a picture my breeder Mom Lynn sent me.

Here is a picture of her checking Mom out to make sure I would be in good hands. Farewell my sweet Grandma. I hope you are running free with the other furry kids in heaven

Kilwinning Spicy Madeline (Maddie)
04/18/1998 - 03/23/2010

For the happy news I received an e-mail from my sister Haley. She sent me some photos of her new doo.

Haley was a show dog for a while but has since retired and is now a contented family dog, princess, protector of her domain, and chief treaty sampler. She is very happy in her new home.

Mom left for Florida today to go visit Grandma GG, so I will be spending the next couple of days bonding with Dad. I have to go wake him from his nap on the sofa so he can walk me for the night.

Bark at you soon...

Luna Licks,

Lunatic

I'm 4 Years Old Today

2010-02-03T21:19:00.009-05:00

Well it was 4 years ago today that the stalk brought me and my sisters to my wirey Mom Stella in Florida.

This is after Mom picked me up from my breeder lady Lynn. I was at Grandma GG's chewing on a new bone.

Here I am after my first grooming. I was only a couple of months old.

Here I am today playing with one of my favorite stuffies.

A little rounder and a little wiser. The wisdom has to go somewhere.

Sorry it's been so long. I miss you all.

With Wagging Tail...

Luna's Visit With Santa Paws

2009-12-14T20:33:00.006-05:00

Hello to all my furry kid friends, yes it is I. Sorry I have neglected my blog but things here at the Scruffy Yacht Dogs house have been very busy so Mom and Dad haven't had a lot of free time to help me edit and post all my pictures.

Well it wasn't too busy on Sunday. Dad took me up to Fetch, my favorite pet store in Port Jefferson to visit Santa Paws. I think it was because Mom made him feel guilty, he kept grumbling something about missing the football game.

Well I was enjoying my late morning nap on the sofa when I was rudely scooped up and had to endure 45 minutes of brushing, combing, and more brushing.

When we got to Fetch I wasn't really interested in sitting in Santa Paws lap. I wanted to sniff and explore all the neat doggie stuff. Dad scooped me up and put me on Santa's lap because Santa was on a tight schedule.

I gave Santa Paws my list which was very long so I'm only going to touch on some of it.

Dear Santa,

Could you arrange for nice homes for all the less fortunate furrykids, with lots of treats and love?

Could you deliver yummy Bullysticks to all the furrykid angels in heaven?
Could you pickup Moms grooming table a.k.a the torture chamber and drop it in the Northpole, Southpole, anywhere but here?
Thank you for finding Dad a job fixing computers, although I think he should've accepted your offer for that open elf position in your work shop.
Continued health and prosperity to my friends and family.
Photoshop lessons for me so I can post my own pictures.

After giving Santa my list I checked out the rest of the store for Christmas bargains, sniffed a couple of butts, sniffed some noses and home we went. Dad bought me a big N-Bone which is one of my favorites since I was such a good girl. Hopefully my next post won't take so long.

9 Day Cruise Part 1

2009-08-11T22:23:00.015-04:00

Hello to all my furry kid friends. Well Dad stopped hogging the computer so I could update my blog. Sailor Dance went in the water the Thursday before the 4th of July. We sailed to Bayville, NY or as the locals call it "Baville By The Sea". From Bayville we sailed to Branford, CT.

Donna, aka "Top Shelf" and me enjoying the breeze.

When we got to Branford the humans decided to walk into Branford. It was a mile and half walk from the boat.

Here we are walking through town, notice I'm in the lead. Mom and Donna had to stop in all the shops. I was bored, so were Dad and Ted.

Finally a store that allowed pups.

Sniffing for bargains.

After some shopping we (Mom) found a Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop, Mom's favorite.

Ted aka SAM "Secret Agent Man" and I waiting for ice cream.

Resistance is futile.

Notice I get my own cup. Mom is the weak parent.

After we finished in town it was time to head back to the boat. By now I was ready for a nap. Here is a good place.

Oh crap more walking.

Okay it's rest time and this is a fine place.

At this point I think even Donna agreed with me, here we are outside the Marine store.

Till the next...

Your pal Luna.

Luna Licks,

Looney-tunes.

I'm Back

2009-07-13T09:44:00.002-04:00

Hello to all my furry friends. I have been very busy the last month helping Mom and Dad get the boat ready to go in the water. We just got back yesterday from a 9 day cruise. I will post the details and pictures soon.

Millie Has A Furever Home

2009-06-16T08:06:00.005-04:00

I just wanted to let everyone know that we found Millie a furever home.

Some really nice people, Allen and Amy adopted her and she has settled in to their household quite nicely.

While we may not have gotten along I did show Millie that squeaker toys can be fun.

Mom and Dad gave Millie some squeaker toys but she would go hide when they squeaked. Well one night Millie was watching me be my lunatic self and watching me play with my favorite squeaky ball. Instead of hiding Millie was whining so Dad gave her an extra one I had and she was hooked. Millie became a squeaky ball addict.

When Millie's new pawents came to pick her up Mom packed up her stuff along with some food. When it was time to leave we all went out to see her off and wish her well, even me.

Before they could leave Millie needed to leave some peemail for the other dogs in the neighborhood so she took her new Mom on a mini tour of the neighborhood.

Millie and I said our goodbye's and we wished her well in her new home.

Millie doesn't live that far so maybe we can visit her someday.

Best wishes sweet Millie in your new home, we will miss you.

Luna Licks,

Luna-tic

Millie Needs A Furever Home

2009-05-14T21:22:00.007-04:00

With much regret and sadness Mom and Dad have not been able to get Millie and I to get along. We are just too much alike; both of us want to be the top banana and neither of us are willing to give ground. Millie has really come out of her shell and seems happy to be here, just not with me. I have to admit that I don't like sharing the attention as well.

Millie is a very sweet 6 year old female Wire Haired Fox Terrier.
Needs a furever home with NO Dogs in household.
Very friendly with everyone she meets
Preferably no children under 13 (Only because there's no history)
Up to date on all shots
Micro chipped
Housebroken
Well behaved
Walks well on leash

She has lost a little weight and with a good diet and exercise we should be able to keep her out of the substantial wire club.

So I'm putting it out there to all my furry friends to please spread the word for Millie. Please post a picture and a link if you can and hopefully we can find Millie a furever home where she can be someones ONLY princess.

Please contact Mom or Dad at johnmarra@hotmail.com or thexraygirl@hotmail.com

Crossed paws for Millie,

Millies First Day

2009-05-07T11:57:00.010-04:00

Well yesterday I went to meet Millie and everything was okay, we didn't fight. She wanted to sniff me all over. When we got home I showed Millie my back yard and all the best grass to eat.

She tried some for herself.

I guess because this is a new place she looks a little confused.

She didn't want to run around and play today.

I showed her some of my favorite roaching spots.

Millie decided to give it a try for herself.

Millie came in the house and sniffed around and checked things out but she does not seem to like me. She growls and snaps at me so she is confined to the kitchen for now. Maybe she has just been through a lot of change in the last two weeks. Dad takes us for walks together and she is fine no growling or snapping.

Well we'll just have to take it one day at a time and see if she comes around. Please keep your paws crossed for Millie.

Luna Licks,

Luna-tic

Tomorrow I Meet Millie

2009-05-05T21:52:00.006-04:00

Well tomorrow I meet Millie. Millie is a 6 year old female Wire who was brought to a local rescue shelter. Mom and Dad found out about her from a neighbor who volunteers there. Millie's Dad had to move into an assisted living home and couldn't take Millie with him. So tomorrow Millie and I are doing a meet and greet to see if we get along. I am told that Millie is very sweet and good with humans and other dogs so we will see what happens. If all goes well Millie will be coming to live with us.

I overheard Mom and Dad talking that Millie is a little... I mean a lot on the round side. I heard the four letter word diet which usually means less treats and less handouts from the kitchen.

Well I will keep you posted. Please keep your paws crossed for Millie.

Luna Licks,

Scarey Moment

2009-04-02T16:41:00.002-04:00

Lastnight my wife Joan called me from downstairs. She said to come down the stairs quietly so as not to disturb Luna. When I reached the bottom of the stairs Luna was laying on the floor next to Joan making wheezing sounds. We got her up and she was walking around still making wheezing sounds. she looked like she needed to get something up but couldn't. I let her out back and she heard something in the back and was barking but we could tell that something was wrong by the sound of her bark.

While Joan was calling around for an emergency vet I took Luna down the street thinking that walking might induce her to bring up whatever seemed to be obstructing her breathing. She was able to walk okay but I could tell she was trying to expel something. A neighbor came out with her dog and Luna got all excited and was pulling and tugging and thats when it came up. I could not believe it was 6 to 8" of rawhide that I literally had to yank out of her mouth. Of course Luna didn't want to leave it behind.

I brought the rawhide back to the house and Joan immediately knew what it was. About 4 hours earlier she had given Luna a Flossie. Luna has had these before but this time the one she had was bigger than the ones she usually has; and for whatever reason she consumed the entire thing in one sitting. Usually she will chew on it then leave it and come back to it over the course of a couple of days, shredding the thing to pieces.

Luna is fine now but you never know. I guess you just have to monitor them when they have these things. Just be aware, a lesson learned.

Best regards,

John (Luna's Dad)

A Bit Under The Weather

2009-03-30T21:21:00.009-04:00

Well today was not a good day for me. I was feelin a bit under the weather. Something did not agree with my tummy. When Mom & Dad came home they found me fast a sneep on top of my crate.

They also walked into a poop, vomit, and pee surprise. I got sick all over the house. I even got sick in my dog cave.

Well while Mom and Dad were busy cleaning up the mess I left for them; I unknown to Mom & Dad went through the grocery bags Mom had just brought home. I found some yummy cherry tomato's which I had out all over the dining room floor when Dad came down to get more cleaning supplies. Ooops... he was not happy to find this surprise.

Not being the picture of health he could not get mad at me.

Mom decided to make me a special dinner to help settle my tummy. She made me rice and flounder, mixed with a little apple sauce.

It was very tasty and I didn't leave a crumb.

I licked the bowel so clean I could actually see my reflection in the bottom of the bowel.

After dinner I felt much better and was feelin like my old self.

My beards still a little ripe so no Luna Licks tonight.

Woof at you soon.

Someone Has Got Their Facts Mixed Up

2009-03-24T21:45:00.008-04:00

Hello to all my friends. I don't know who came up with the definition but my blog has been suffering from NBS, "Neglected Blog Syndrome".

Now as those of you who live in PA, NJ, NY, and parts of MA know, we got upwards of 14" of the white stuff dumped on us back on March 2nd. Now you be the judge of who should be giving back their bonus especially if they received any federally funded treats from President Obama.

This was the view out my front door. I guess we can't go for a walk this way.

This was the view out my back door. We can't go out that way. We will have to try the garage door. Pssss... Dad made the mistake of opening the sliding door and he wound up with a pile of snow in the livingroom. He had to use a shovel and broom to get the snow back outside so he could close the door. WAAAAAA it was hilarious.

I was finally able to get outside through the garage. We would've needed a sled to come down the front steps.

The wind was sure blowing. I made the mistake of jumping into a snow drift. I looked like seal flopping around on a beach, not good.

I had one heck of time trying to locate any good pee-mail, but it was fun frolicking in the snow.

Luna Licks to you all.

Grooming Road Trip

2009-02-23T20:21:00.026-05:00

Well as you know from my last post Mom and Dad took me on a long journey upstate NY so Mom could learn how to hand strip me. I usually fall asleep in the car but we were taking roads I never had traveled on. I think I fell asleep about halfway through the drive which was ruffly 4 - 5 hours or so I'm told.

After a nice nap I finally woke up when the car came to a stop in our cousin Alexa and Dan's driveway. They have a big beautiful old house. I left a little pee-mail in the driveway and then in the house I went I ran right past my cousin Alexa to explore their house.

Oops! Whats this? A new furry cousin. This is Lilly, she was a very gracious hostess and greeted me with open paws.

Lilly was very happy to meet a new cousin.

Dad and Cousin Dan took me for a walk around Altamont to checkout the village. The night before we left I got a bath so I would be nice and clean for my grooming. Well when I got back to the house after walking through snow and slush, lots of slush I could have used an under carriage washing.

Well the next morning Mom, Dad, and I took a ride to Mr's Morris house for my grooming. We were driving and driving until there was nothing around but trees and the occasional horse.

It turns out Mr's Morris is Smitty's grandma. What a small world. When we went into the kennel there were a bunch of dogs staying with the Morris's for vacation. They were very excited to see me. Lots of barking and wet noses peering over the wall.

Now I have to apologize for not having a lot of pictures of my grooming. Since Mom was learning how to hand strip me, Dad was busy using the video camera so Mom would have something to refer to.

Caroline got to work and Mom was taking notes and Dad was video taping. Dad would never make it in Hollywood, at one point he put the camera down and forgot to stop recording so we have about 7 minutes of the coat pile and sound. Mom will just have to fast forward through that. Well after about 3 hours of plucking we took a break for lunch. I looked kind of silly actually as the the only part that still needed to be done was my head. So I had a stripped body and a scruffy head.

After lunch Caroline finished my head and here I am getting the finishing touches and inspection. Caroline said I was a very good girl during my grooming.

After we were done Mom put on my dreaded coat, since my natural coat was now all over the floor. I hate wearing a coat but it was quite nippy out.

It was getting late and it was time to drive back to Alexa and Dan's house.

On the way back Dad had to stop for a photo op. He found a street sign with our last name on it. He almost got us stuck in a ditch when he pulled over, thank goodness for 4 wheel drive.

When we got back to Alexa and Dan's I ran right in to show Lilly my new do.

She was ecstatic with delight.

Here I am with cousin Alexa getting a back scratch.

The humans decided to go out for dinner so we got good girl treaty's.

The next morning it was time to pack up the truck and head back to Long Island.

Thank you to Alexa and Dan for putting us up in their beautiful home and Thank you Lilly for being a great cousin. Maybe you can come visit us this summer.

After 4 hours of driving we went from lots of snow and cold to almost no snow and temps in the 5o's.

I had a very nice weekend although I would've rather spent 4 hours playing with Lilly than standing on a grooming table. I got to meet new cousins and see new places. It was very taxing and I finally crashed when we got home.

I want to thank Caroline for teaching my Mom how to groom me. One can only hope she took good notes and I don't wind up looking like Mr. Bigglesworth.

Bye for now your friend...

My Third Birthday

2009-02-04T20:28:00.019-05:00

As of Tuesday I'm 3 years old. My morning started off as usual. I woke around 6AM to the sound of the heat kicking on. Down the stairs I went to warm up my tootsies by the vent in the diningroom. Mom made my breakfast and off to stupid work she went. Dad came down shortly there after to take me for my walk and off to stupid work he went.

I took my usual morning nap up in my dog cave, Mom and Dad refer to it as the spare bedroom, hey let them think what they want. After my morning nap I woke up to check for trespassers. It was snowing and I'm stuck here in the house.

I checked out the back window, same thing here. This is bowing, time for another nap.

I didn't know Mom came home until I heard the clicking of the camera.

Notice my new hairdo.

After the photo shoot I followed her down to the kitchen to watch her get dinner ready. Mom made chicken and garlic roasted cauliflower. Now you all know that garlic is great for keeping those pesky fleas away. Little did I know that Mom was preparing a special birthday dinner for me.

Garlic roasted cauliflower and chicken.

Dad came home while Mom was making dinner. I heard the crinkle of a bag and it is my job to inspect all packages coming into the house.

What does he have?

It's a birthday present!!!

I took it and off I went to inspect it. I have to figure out how to rip off his eyeballs and silence that squeaker thing. I know it's in there somewhere. I will have to call Jackson later and ask him what the best strategy is.

Well dinner was finally ready. I could hardly contain myself, the camera couldn't keep up.

Mom was full of surprises. She whipped up a special desert treat for me.

I was so excited that my eyes practically bugged out of my head.

I couldn't have brownies like Mom and Dad because Mom says they are too fattening.

Well stay tuned for pictures from Albany and Mom's grooming education.

A Long Journey

2009-01-29T00:37:00.009-05:00

Hello to all my friends. I have been away from my blog for a while. Happy New Year wishes to all and thank you again for all the Christmas cards. I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. Here are some pictures from Christmas morning.

I woke up to the familiar smell of bacon.

It is amazin what sad puppy dog eyes will get you.

After breakfast I got to checkout what Santa Paws brought me. There sure is something in here that smells good.

Look a wire harried penguin.

I'm sure you are wondering what this has to do with a long journey. Well Mom, Dad and I are going up to Albany this weekend so Mom can learn how to hand strip me. As you can see from the next photo, I'm having a bad hair day.

Well the next time you see me I won't have my scruffy winter coat. I know Mom will be under the tutelage of an expert but I have to admit I'm a little nervous how this is going to turn out.

Well stay tuned next week for a look at my new hair do.

Christmas Wishes 2008

2008-12-25T01:46:00.012-05:00

Hello All,

I have been pretty busy getting ready for the holidays. I would like to thank all my friends for the beautiful Christmas cards you sent me.

I did not get my December striping so I might be confused for a sheep. Well today I got furminated, brushed, combed, trimmed, furminated, and brushed again to make me look presentable for the holidays. I gave Dad a very hard time and I voiced my terrier displeasure as well.

After I was done getting tortured I got to admire the pretty decorations Mom put on the tree.

As I sit here waiting for Santa and his 8 little reindeer the thermometer is reading 60 degrees and the rain is washing away whats left of the snow we got last week. I can see the grass again.

Is this for me?

I smell dog treats, I know there in here somewhere...

I wonder who these stuffies can be for? I don't know if I can wait till the morning.

Well it's getting late and I can barely keep my eyes open. I left some warm milk for Santa and some treatys for the reindeer.

I want to wish all my friends and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah. I hope all my friends get lots of stuffies, treatys, chew bones, and lets not forget back scratchs and belly rubs.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah,

Looney-tunes

Sunday Grooming

2008-12-05T23:20:00.015-05:00

Sunday afternoon I was minding my own business when I heard Dad call my name from the kitchen. I figured I was going to get something to eat.

When I went in to the kitchen imagine my horror when I saw these evil instruments.

Later Dad I'm outta here...

The chase was on but Dad is too slow.

Back through the kitchen we went, he he he, Dad will never catch me.

Around the dining room table we went... You need a scooter Dad?

Back through the kitchen... You keeping up Dad? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This is fun!!!

You still with me Dad? HE HE HE.

Around the coffee table for another lap.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Oh crap, dead end.

Dad cheated!!! That's not fair!!! There's no gates in chase!!!

Well Dad got a pound full in the end.

R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R I hate getting brushed and combed.

Till next time.

Recent Pictures Of Brother Seamus

2008-11-30T15:02:00.007-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and had nice full bellies at the end of the day. I received some updated pictures from my little brother Seamus. Well he ain't so little anymore, he weighs 20.8lbs. His Mommy calls him Seamoose. Turns out that my little brother and his sister Shannon are yacht doggy's to.

Here he is in his stylish Sou' Wester. He is ready for nasty weather.

It seems my little brother is quite the Olympian swimmer. Here he is showing off his form.

This is Seamus with his new skunk toy. As you can see good looks run in our family.

Seamus on the right is letting his older sister Shannon know that the skunk is his toy. Apparently she tricks him into giving it up with another toy and then she takes the skunk. She sounds like a smart wire.

Till next time.

With wagging tail.

The Sea Monster

2008-11-12T22:36:00.020-05:00

Here is another one of my summer adventures.

I was soundfully sleeping on our sailboat one day when I was awoken by strange noises under the boat.

I had to go investigate...

There were bubbles all around the boat...

Then it appeared.

What was under our boat?

Was it the Loch Ness Monster?

Our was it the Creature From The Black Lagoon?

There it is again.

What is that?

It's a Sea Monster!

I barked at it to scare it away.

I barked some more but it would not go away! It swam around taunting me.

I decided to jump in and capture the Sea Monster. So I donned my life jacket and in I went.

I just need to get my lead around it and it's mine.

This Sea Monster is a slippery one.

Gottcha you!!!

I pulled him back to the boat and did he put up a good fight.

Well I hauled his soggy butt up onto the dink and to my surprise it was not a Sea Monster... It was my Uncle Ted.

Did I feel silly. Here I had visions of being famous for capturing a real live Sea Monster. I could've been on Animal Planet, Leno, Letterman.

Of course I had to give my Uncle Ted a big smoochie.

I love my Uncle Ted. He calls me "Puppy Power", turns me into a lunatic.

My Week With Val

2008-10-29T22:05:00.007-04:00

Mom and Dad went away for the week and they had someone stay with me to keep me company. Her name is Val. I found out very early on that she gets up reeeaallly early in the morning. Once I stretched a few times I was ready to rock and roll and go for a walk, but not without begging for a treat or two, of course!! (You know you always have to break the newbies in when it comes to important things like treats, playing tag around the dining room table, etc. – but Val was a quick learner!!)

I made sure I took Val to all the “hot spots” in the apartment complex on our walks. It was still dark in the morning when we walked so Val had to bring a flashlight with her to pick up after me - I could never seem to “go” under a streetlight!! I had breakfast and then Val was off to work!!

I was so happy to see her when she came home (show a little love; get a treat – works everytime!!). We went for a walk again – this time we went around the entire complex. I showed Val my skill at walking on the curb without falling off!!!

After dinner, we played with some of my toys, I chewed a bone, and then it was out again for one more walk, flashlight at hand!! I would go up on the bed with Val for a little while but I like my own space – I’m sure you can relate!! I went in the spare bedroom or downstairs for the rest of the night. It didn’t take long for that alarm clock to go off again, though!!

On Thursday night, I went on a sleep over!! I went to Bretton Woods in Coram where Val lives. She has a car seat just like Mom and Dad so I had a great time in the car (I had gone on short trips with her to the store, but this was a long ride!!). Well, I just loved her house!! I was up and down her stairs so many times I lost count!! She also had doggie toys there as well and I got my own special water dish too!!! I think she has doggie company a lot!! I helped Val do her laundry – I picked up the items she dropped on the stairs after they were dry, though I was in no rush to return them.

Val has a leather couch – red!! I must say, I looked so stylish on that and on the recliners. There were two recliners, but we shared instead!!

Val has a gated patio so I got to go out without my leash. I tried staring at the gate and saying “open sesame” but the gate would not open no matter how much I wanted to see what was on the other side!!

Well I ran up and down the stairs so many times I was pooped!!

(Laundry is ruff!!) Val brought in the doggie car seat for me to sleep in but I was content to stay on the bed with her. I could see out the window from the bed so I was on squirrel patrol in the morning!!

Val dropped me back off at home on Friday morning – she was off from work but had an outing so Stephanie came over in the afternoon to let me out. I like Stephanie – she has a dog named Winston and I like him too!!

Well, we are watching football Sunday afternoon – Val does not look too happy – I think her Cowboys are not doing too well!!

I guess I’ll have to sit on her to cheer her up!! At half-time we are going in the car again to get some dinner. I already had mine – you know I never miss a meal!! But I think Val ordered something that we have to go pick up.

Mom and Dad are coming home tomorrow night and I can’t wait!! I had fun with Val but I miss my folks!! I hope I get to see Val again though, hmmmmmm next vacation???

First Beach Party

2008-10-22T21:23:00.019-04:00

Hello to all my friends,

It was a very busy summer so I did not get to update my blog as often as I would've liked to. With Fall in full effect I thought I would share some pictures from my first beach party to maybe warm you up for a couple of minutes at least.

Back in August we sailed to visit Jack and Laurie in Bayville which is a little beach side village on the North Shore of Long Island. Mommy of course dressed me up in the pawfect beach attire. Like my stylish summer hat?

It was a long journey but when we rounded green can #17 I knew we were almost there.

It was getting late so the next day we (Dad) rowed ashore in the inflatable boat.

After we got to shore I realized that I forgot to bring my bone. Dad row back and get me my bone.

There were lots of nice people and human pups to play with to.

Here is a picture of me taking a break on Dad's lap.

I found an inflatable boat washed up on the beach.

I decided to claim it as salvage...

It's perfect, I wanted to take it home but Dad wouldn't let me.

We were all having such a good time that we didn't notice that Sailor Dance was dragging her anchor on the bottom and headed to Connecticut.

I nice man in a boat offered to take Dad and Jeff out to Sailor Dance to retrieve her.

Luckily they were able to reset her anchor.

After Dad got back from his mission I went for a swim in the Long Island Sound. It was cool and refreshing.

Mom finally ordered me out because I was shriveling up like a prune.

You had to see all the sand and pebbles in my wirey coat.

I will post more pictures from my summer adventures to maybe take the chill out of your bones.

Update: Mom and Dad are back from Mexico, where my human sister Melissa got married. Sailor Dance is in the boat yard around the corner from our house for her winters nap. Mom takes me for walks past the boat yard to see her. I think she would be happier in the water than perched up on jack stands.

Luna Licks for now...

Pawfect Storm (Northport) Day 2

2008-09-11T22:13:00.013-04:00

It has been a busy summer so I'm way behind with my blog posts.

The next morning in Northport Harbor we woke up to beautiful tranquil sites.

After breakfast it was time to head into town to explore Northport Village.

We walked up and down Main Street and of course Mom had to check out all the shops while Dad stayed outside with me. One of the store's had a hitching post for dogs.

We were almost done exploring when we came upon another Foxy! Her name was Jimmy and she growled at me, she was not very friendly. Maybe because she had a boys name, who could blame her?

Well it was time to head back to the boat. Here I am with Dad.

Northport was sure nice.

Mom and Dad always have boat chores to do. Dad had to take care of the engine, or as he calls it the iron beast.

Pawsonally I find boat chores boring.

Thanks for stopping by. Till next time.

The Pawfect Storm

2008-08-18T23:05:00.017-04:00

On the Afternoon of August 8th Mom, Dad, and I set sail from Mount Sinai, NY to Northport Harbor, NY. The marine radio was beeping and making all kinds of noises about violent storms and mariners should seek safe harbor. It was a beautiful sunny day even as we passed Port Jefferson. The Nexrad Radar was showing evil looking storms moving east over Connecticut and moving east over the south shore of Long Island, nowhere near us. We continued west transiting Smithtown Bay. We had some snacks and some yummy treats.

Mom kept checking the Radar and all was clear until we were about an hour from the mouth of Huntington Harbor. There was a big red ugly blob headed our way.

It was too late to turn tail and run; the race was on for the harbor entrance.

The sky was getting very scary looking.

Well lets just say the storm was faster than us. Over the next 15 minutes or so there was a lot of holy poop going on. In the blink of an eye the wind went from 15knts to 25knts all the way to 39knts. It felt like someone shoved Sailor Dance. The wind was making a howling sound water was flying everywhere. My fowl weather gear was below and I was getting drenched. Dad told Mom to grab the wheel while he wrestled with the sail which was making loud thrashing noises. Big waves were coming up over the front of the boat and dousing Dad. There were evil flashes of lightening. I was tethered with my leash, so I walked around Mom and the steering pedestal so she would be wrapped up and not fall overboard.

When things settled down Dad could take pictures again.

I was drenched from head to paw. I had to use the wind to dry off.

Mom did a fine job steering the boat.

Here is the Eatons Neck lighthouse. There is a nice protected anchorage there. To bad we didn't make it.

Is anyone but me keeping a lookout?

Umm you might want to checkout this evil storm headed our way.

All ahead full Mom. It's getting closer.

We finally did out run the storm and found our mooring. There was a glorious rainbow to greet us when we finally got tied off.

The sunset was beautiful as well.

The next day we went into Northport Village to take in the sites. But not before getting a good nights sleep.

Scruffy Yacht Dog Sails Again

2008-08-02T23:11:00.025-04:00

I know I haven’t updated my blog in over a month. July has been a very busy month. The marina finally put our sailboat in the water July 4th weekend. We packed Daddy’s truck for the trip out to Mattituck to get the boat ready for our Journey to Mount Sinai. I hope there are some treaties in there for me.

Imagine our surprise when we saw our boat. What is wrong with this picture? Where is the mast?

I went on board to check things out and look for any bones I may have left behind from 2006.

Nothing down here.

We unloaded all our stuff and washed the boat. Aunt Donna is in charge of washing the cushions.

After the mast was put in the boat there were extra parts left over, Mommy and Daddy were not pleased.

The next day the guys from the marina and Daddy finished putting the extra parts back were they belonged. Mommy and Daddy spent the next day and half getting Sailor Dance ready for her maiden 2008 voyage.

With stuff everywhere I found a yummy bone to chew on so I wouldn’t be in the way.

When it was finally time to cast off, Daddy had a problem. Someone was occupying his captain’s seat.

Bye Mattituck.

I kept a sharp eye out for other boats.

All clear ahead Dad.

Bye Heron.

We passed by the Old Mill Restaurant which Asta should recognize from last summer. The nasty swans were nowhere to be seen.

Once we were clear of the Jetty it was time to plot our course.

After careful consideration I picked out the pawfect course, 280 degrees to Mount Sinai.

Hey Dad come to port a little the sails are luffing. Hmm smell that salty air.

I smell something good in the galley. I wonder what Mom is making for dinner?

This is a picture of our new harbor. This year Sailor Dance will be parked on a mooring in the middle of the harbor. A motor boat called a launch takes us to and from Sailor Dance.

Stay tuned for the rest of July…

Summer Plucking

2008-07-01T00:03:00.013-04:00

Well last Monday I had my beauty appointment in Connecticut with "Jack Across the Water" and he owned the lawn mower.

I have before and after pictures. This is me in all my scruffy glory

Somewhere under that hair is my tail, it looks like a pom pom.

This is the scene of the crime. CSI Connecticut would have lots of evidence.

When it was all over it was time to catch the ferry back to Port Jefferson. Evidently the US Coast Guard got word that there was a VIP (Very Important Pup) on board the ferry and provided an escort all the way from Bridgeport to Port Jefferson.

Here is a picture of my skinny tail.

Where is my dinner Mom? This has been a very trying day.

Oh this is much better than crunchies.

Hey who's at the door?

Gotta go bark at an intruder.

No Cheeseburgers for Me

2008-06-13T22:38:00.007-04:00

Well imagine my surprise when Mom showed up in the middle of my mid-day nap. My Mom took me for a walk but I'm not used to doing my business at this time of day.

When we got back from my walk Mom put dinner crunchies in my bowl and off she went. Dinner at lunch time? What the heck is this?

Well it seems Mom and Dad went to a Jimmy Buffett concert at Madison Square Garden.

This is a totally silly human gathering where humans dress up in silly parrot hats, shark fins, grass skirts and sing songs about being in paradise.

What really peeves off is they serve something called cheeseburgers in paradise.

I love cheeseburgers, and I gotta stay home and settle for dog food!!! I'm going on strike, it's just not fair.

Well I'm used to going for a walk around 5 o'clock.

My Collie friend Sasha's Mom showed up to let me out and hangout and play with me.

It was okay but I'm not happy about getting cheated out of cheeseburgers. If I had seen any of those parrots I would have terrieriozed them just like the geese down at the local pond.

Well till next time...

Wirestock Part II - Yes I'm Back

2008-05-31T21:58:00.015-04:00

Hello to all my friends. Yes I have been away for a while. My laptop went to Windows heaven or Windows hell. The words that Daddy was using I think it was the later of the two. Well Dad was busy working on the boat and he finally got around to reloading the laptop. Mom's still pestering him about the leaking toilet that keeps running, but everything has a priority.

Here are the rest of the pictures from Wirestock.

We had to pull our parents all the way around this lake. I would've preferred to swim across.

Okay humans! We're walking, we're walking, lets try to keep up, no stragglers.

Terriers on the rock. Jeeves, Smitty, me, Ozzy, Romeo, and Asta.

Here we are for another group shot. Nobody said cheese this time.

Me and Mom with my certificate of achievement. I just want the treats in her hand.

Me and Asta in a photo finish. I think she had me by a beards length.

Asta with her Daddy in the tail wagging contest. Asta's Mommy was supposed to paw take in this event with Asta, but she thought George would look better in digits than she would... Hehehe

Jeeves Mom was having lunch and we were trying to figure out if she had american or chedder cheese on that burger.

Well it's time to hit the road.

I had a nice nap on the trip home. Dad took a wrong turn and we wound up taking the scenic trip home. Mom and Dad were ready for a nap when they got home. I was ready to Rock-n-Roll.

Well we had a good time and for a good cause. I am so glad I got to meet new friends and hope to get together for some more wirey fun.

PS: Best wishes to Asta's Daddy George for a speedy recovery. Hope you get to go home soon.

Wirestock Part 1

2008-05-07T22:40:00.017-04:00

Sunday morning Mom and Dad woke me up for Wirestock before the sun came up. Actually Mom woke Dad and I up. There was lots of bag packing going on and then we climbed into the Jeep and off we went. When we finally got to Bear Mountain we walked around but did not see anyone from Team Wire.

For those of you just tuning in we are participating in a dog walk for the American Cancer Society.

Out of no where we found Asta. She was very excited to see me. She sniffed me from my fuzzy head to my fuzzy butt.

Whats this? Another Wire, it was Jeeves with his Mom Amy in tow. Jeeves is very cute.

Two more Foxies showed up. It's an invasion! It was Ozzy and Romeo. Their Mom came up with the idea for Team Wire. They look very GQ in their Wirestock tee-shirts.

Ozzy and Romeo came over to say hello. Ozzy whispered something in my ear and there is a great picture of me on Ozzys blog giving him a scolding.

Ozzy and Romeo's Mom Jen brought us presents. Inside were yummy homemade cookies.

Here is Asta showing off her most pawfect behavior to get a treat from her Mom. Smitty prefers to do the dancing bear routine for treats.

Here I am showing off my pawfect behavior for getting treats. We are just a couple of wirey angels. If there were any muddy paw prints on the humans pants it wasn't from us.

It was time to line up for a group shot before the walk.

It went something like this...

Some Human with a camera: Okay look at the camera and say CHEESE!!!

Romeo: Cheese??? What cheese???

Asta: Did someone say cheese?

Ozzy: There's no cheese here.

Jeeves: Hey get off me and go find your own cheese.

Smitty: I can't find no stinking cheese.

Me: I think we've been had.

Well so much for the group shot.

It's getting late so I'm going to stop here for now.

To be continued....

My Little Brother Seamus

2008-05-05T23:55:00.005-04:00

I am still going through all the pictures from Wirestock and will post them soon so stay tuned. I had a great time meeting my Wirey friends.

A while back I posted that my Wirey Mom had pups. Well my new little brother Seamus sent me some pictures of himself and his new sister Shannon. They live in Fort Lauderdale, FL. He is very cute and you can definitely see the family resemblance.

No Wire pictures are complete without a good roaching shot.

Here is his new sister Shannon, she's 10 months old.

I am trying to convince Seamus to start a blog about him and his sister.

I am so glad that Seamus has found a great home.

Getting Ready for Wirestock

2008-05-03T22:23:00.009-04:00

Well it seems Saturday night is wash the wire night. I was over at Asta's blog and she got a bath to. This is all so we look beautiful for Wirestock. There is nothing wrong with the way I smell. I wonder if Ozzy and Romeo have had to endure such torture? I ran away before the air dryer came out. I prefer to naturally air dry myself.

I totally disheveled this throw rug rubbing around trying to dry off.

Maybe my bed will work better?

Gotta get my beard dry.

Then to top it all off I have to endure getting combed. R-R-R-R-R

I got my revenge though. I left ring around the tub. Dad had to break out the Comet to clean it up. Hehehe.

Middle Island Dog Park

2008-05-01T22:48:00.009-04:00

Today Mom and Dad came home and put me in the Jeep. After a short ride we arrived at a new place, the Middle Island Dog Park. There are 2 sections at the park.

I know my last post touched on the subject of my weight, but this is meant for really big dogs which I do play with. On to the next section, this is for my weight class. Here I am with Dad.

I got to meet some new friends who sniffed every crack and crevice.

This is Charlie, he is an 8 month old Silky who likes playing bitey face.

After it got dark we went home where I proceeded to finish chewing on my flossy.

Notice how brown my legs are from playing a the park.

Well it's getting late bark at you soon.

2008-04-26T23:15:00.010-04:00

Hello everyone, I know I haven't posted in a few weeks. Yes the Mets lost their home opener.

Well this morning Dad stepped on the bathroom scale and recorded the number presented.

I was not made aware of this information, it's apparently confidential health information. Dad then scooped me up and stepped on the scale again. I was not given this number either... You guessed it, confidential health information. Then Dad did some arithmetic, the result??? Luna's gross weight = 23.8lbs. It's gross alright. I think if I got plucked I'd be an even 23. Mom says no more table scraps (GRRRRRR) for this Wide Fox Terrier, and plenty of exercise.

Next Sunday I will be joining Team Wire at Bear Mountain State Park for the American Cancer Society walk. Mom ordered me a medium tee shirt for the event. I think the M stands for miniature, not medium.

I had to suck it in so Dad could put this on me.

Click here for Wirestock products. The money goes to a good cause to fight cancer.

This will be the first time since I left my siblings when I was a pup that I will come beard-to-beard with another Wire Fox Terrier. Ozzy, Romeo, Asta Urbanista, and Smitty will be there. I can't wait, maybe I can run around with my furry friends and burn off some of these love handles.

On a side note, Thursday the 24th was my 1 year blog anniversary. Thank you to all my readers for visiting my blog.

Saturday Beauty Sleep

2008-03-01T14:18:00.008-05:00

After breakfast I decided to retire up to the dog cave, that is my room upstairs in the front of the house. In the early morning the sun streams in through the window and it feels great to get some rays. During the week after Mom and Dad have left for work that is where you will usually find me. I have my own futon.

Well this morning I was having visions of doggy treats...

Bully Sticks....

Carvel Ice Cream...

Steakbones...

All the while I keep hearing this beeping sound.

Dad enough with the camera already. I'm trying to get some beauty sleep.

Mount Hairy Lodge Weekend Recovery

2008-02-20T21:09:00.008-05:00

Hello All,

I've been away for a while. Mom and Dad were hogging up the computers. I had a wonderful time at Mount Hairy Lodge. Thank you to Koobuss for all the arrangements. I got to meet a lot of my blogging friends. It was a non-stop fun filled weekend. When I got home I just crashed from all the excitement.

The other night Mom was peeling apples at the table. What could she be doing?

Mom was making apple pie, I got to help...

and taste.

Final inspection before going into the oven.

Helping Mom cleanup.

Now I have to say that while I didn't get any apple pie. Mom gave me a bowl of homemade doggy ice cream that she made for my 2nd barkday. Yummy!!!

Bye for now.

Superbowl, Big Woof

2008-01-28T23:08:00.000-05:00

I was surfing the web today trying to decide what would be the perfect birthday cake for my 2nd birthday. Everyone is talking about Sunday and the Superbowl.

That is all you hear about. I am not happy that I have to share my birthday lime light with some stupid game where humans pile on top of the human with something called the pig skin. Poor pig, I hate to see what became of Porky.

Well I found a couple of possibilities...

This isn't bad but I kept searching.

This is kind of nice, simple but very yummy looking.

Definitely no cats allowed at my birthday.

This is kind of kool, although that grassy mat reminds me of my poop deck for the boat, so maybe not.

Now this is a cake any dog would be proud to have. I just have to get Mom to bake it for me. I will help with the preparation.

At least the Stupidbowl won't interfere with my favorite Animal Planet shows. I forgot Dad will be hogging up the big flat screen for that dumb Stupidbowl.

Till next time...

Cold Saturday Afternoon (First Video)

2008-01-19T20:49:00.000-05:00

Dad took me out for a long walk today and then he let me play out in the backyard.

This is my first attempt at reality TV. Lights, camera, action.

This is my Fido Fleece. My parents insist that I wear a coat when it's cold, especially since I got plucked last month.

As you know I'm not a big fan of sweaters and coats, makes me itchie.

Nothing like a good stickie to chew on.

You notice I have a leash on; well I don't exactly come when called.

After Dad brought me in the house I took a nice long nap in my burrow ball.

I have been away so long I don't know whether I should wish everyone a Happy New Year or wish you a Happy Valentines day. Which one is closer?

Winter is so boring. I don't know what came over me the other day but I destroyed one of my Christmas presents that Santa Paws brought me. I ripped off the reindeers little antlers, his hat and totally de-stuffed him. Lets just say I've had a lot of fiber in my diet.

When Dad discovered the carnage he came over and questioned me. "What reindeer"? "Dad that is just awful". "Who could have done such a terrible thing"? "Hmmm" he said.

Dads new favorite show is that dog whisperer guy with the roller skates. Pffff... yea Dad you go right on believing your the pack leader. The only one training people here is me and I don't whisper. Talk to you soon.

Christmas Day 2007

2007-12-25T22:26:00.000-05:00

Well this morning I woke up and got Mom and Dad up so I could go see what Santa Paws brought me. I was told that I had to wait for family to arrive before I could open my presents.... R-R-R-R.

Mom was busy in the kitchen cooking and baking. Dad took me out for a walk and when I returned Mom let me have a little treat.

It was a yummy creme-de-menthe filling for Mom's pie.

I patiently waited by the front door for our quests to arrive so I could go open my presents.

When the family arrived I had to wait even longer because breakfast came first. This is not fair. Mom gave me some yummy bacon after breakfast so that made up the wait.

We all finally retired to the livingroom to open presents. Nope now I gotta pose for pictures, for the love of reindeer!!! This is my cousin Cassie with me in my Christmas PJ's.

Santa brought me a burrow ball, this looks comfy.

Hmmm whats in my stocking???

Cool more pull toys!!!

I dug all kinds of goodies out of my stocking including this yummy bone. Chris was trying to help me un-wrap it but I got that department covered.

After company left I sat on Mom's lap with my new bone and watched two dog shows on TV. The evil judges did not pick the Wires for the Terrier group, thats just wrong.

After an exhausting day I was pooped and decided to test out my new bed. By the way, that frayed piece of carpeting is an indiscretion from my puppy days.

I hope everyone had a great day and got lots of presents.

Love,

Getting Ready For Christmas

2007-12-23T23:52:00.000-05:00

Hello All,

I am a little behind these days with all the shopping and snooping through all the packages. The other day Dad was moving the furniture in the living room and bringing down boxes from a hole in the ceiling. He was taking tree branch's out of the box.

What in the world is going on here? The whole living room was turned upside down.

Mom and I decided to pitch in and take stuff out of the boxes.

Mom look what I found! This would look beautiful on the tree.

After a couple of hours of decorating the house, Mom decided it was time for a snack break. Mom put out some delicious snack foods and I was not allowed to have any. Mom has put me on a diet because she thinks I'm a boom-ba-la-dee (aka fatty). No human food for me until I regain my girlish figure.

I just finished composing my e-mail to Santa Paws...

Dear Santa Paws,

This Christmas I have a couple of requests.

Please find nice homes for all the rescued wires out there that are up for adoption.
Good health and good fortune for my Mom & Dad and to my family and all my new blog friends.
A destination for my sister Melissa and Chris's destination wedding (even though I'm not invited).
My Mom & Dad spoil me plenty, so give plenty of extra treats, Bully Sticks, & toys to less fortunate wirey doggies.
An end to the diet Mom has put me on. I am not fat, I'm pleasently scruffy.
A fuel tank installed in my sailboat by spring time.
Our troops to come home to their families.
Continued good search rankings for my blog on Google.
My own computer so I can keep in touch with my blog friends.
And last but not least a White Christmas.

Luna

I want to wish all of my bloggy friends a very Merry Christmas. Hope Santa Paws leaves you lots of goodies!

Please Sign The Petition

2007-12-09T22:24:00.001-05:00

There is an evil animal called Marc-Andre Laporte who ran a horrible puppy mill in Montreal. The SPCA raided his house of horrors and seized 97 Fox Terriers living in horrible conditions. Almost 40 of these abused Foxies had to be euthanized. Click here for the full story.

The surviving dogs were cared for by the SPCA and later, with the help of devoted fox terrier lovers, found wonderful foster homes where they have been living for the past 2 years, unable to be adopted until the case is finalized. Laporte is only facing six months of jail time and up to $4,000 in fines. I find that disgusting - he should be locked in a cage forever or put to sleep - he murdered 40 dogs and abused 57 others!!

But it gets worse friends. On Feb. 22, 2008 he will be sentenced. And at the same hearing, the judge is to decide if Laporte is to get any of his fox terriers back!

WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.

So friend, today we are launching a two-fold campaign to prevent Laporte from getting his dog/s back. We know we can count on you to take action and spread the word:

1: Please go to the online petition. Once all the signatures are entered, we will print it out and hand it over to our friend in Montreal who has been instrumental is saving and caring for the Blainville wires, for distribution to the media (unfortunately it is illegal in Canada to hand petitions to the court).

2: Please take a few minutes to write a letter to Judge Jean Sirois imploring him to prevent Laporte from ever taking possession of his former fox terriers or of owning any dog again. If you can, include a photo of yourself and your foxie/dog. All the letters received will be put in a file and also handed to the media.

Letters should be mailed to:
Elizabeth Pierce
119 16th Street
Roxboro, Québec
Canada
H8Y 1P1

Please disseminate this information on your blogs, to your fellow dog owners and friends. Thank you for your support in this important matter.

A Late Night Surprise Visitor

2007-12-06T21:39:00.000-05:00

Last Friday night around midnight I was fast asleep dreaming of treaties and Bully Sticks. I was suddenly awoken by the sound of keys in the door. I ran down to greet Mom and Dad only to find it was my Aunt Stacey. She came over to let me out. After walking me she gathered up some of my stuff including my bed and drove me to her house.

I immediately ran around looking for my cousin Athena. She was a sleepy dog and did not want to play "sniff the butt". I ran around Aunt Stacey's house at 1AM and absolutely terrieriozed her house. I ran in cousin Nicholas's room jumped up on his bed and woke him up. Aunt Stacey turned off the lights and said it's bed time. NOT!!! I can't understand why Aunt Stacey would not let me sleep on her bed. I ran down stairs and rang my poochie bells. Aunt Stacey came down and got me, I voiced my terrier displeasure. I don't remember what time it was but I eventually fell asleep.

The next morning Dad showed up to pick me up. It seems Mom had to have something called an appendix removed. I don't know what this is but it made Mom very sick and the doctor had to take it out. Well Tuesday afternoon I heard the keys in the door and it was Mom and Dad. Mom can't pick me up for a couple of weeks so Dad held me so I could give Mom some Luna licks.

Mom is going to be home recouping for a couple of weeks so I have a regimen of physical therapy all planned out.

Daily back scratching and tummy rubs so Moms hands won't get numb.
Walks around the neighborhood so her legs won't get stiff and to build up her stamina.
Vigoris sessions of tug of war to build up her arm muscles.

Dad says I need to get Mom back in shape soon because he has to push that evil machine around on the carpet, do the wash, take Mom food shopping. I will keep you posted on Mom's recovery.

A Christmas Card Vote

2007-11-27T21:22:00.000-05:00

One night Mom and Dad were trying to decide what Christmas cards to send to people. Because Mom and Dad don't always see eye to eye, I was trying to help them pick out the pawfect card.

I will not say which one Mom or Dad picked, so I'm putting it out to my fans for a vote.

The first one is "Peace on Earth". A beautiful sailboat sailing on the bay with a bridge in the background.

The second card is "All is Calm", three sailboats peacefully at anchor.

Well there you have it, cast your votes so I can start licking envelopes.

Squash Thief

2007-11-23T11:31:00.000-05:00

Well as I mentioned in my previous post. Mom went away on a cruise and I found all kinds of trouble to get into. Dad knew I was up to no good when I showed up in the bedroom with this in my mouth.

Dad went to investigate to see where I acquired this treat.

Well I couldn't help but return to the scene of the crime. Dad was not pleased, but squash is sure yummy. I lucked out I didn't wind up in jail again.

On Wednesday Dad took me to Laguardia Airport to pickup Mom and my human sister Melissa. Asta Urbanista would have been proud. There were all kinds of buses, cars, honking horns and loud noises overhead. It didn't even phase me. There were so many people I didn't know which one to let pet me first. I wanted to lick everyone I could reach.

Dad scooped me up and took me into the terminal. Imagine my surprise and excitement when I saw Mom and Melissa. I nearly licked the tan off Mommy's face.

Well I hope everyone had a Happy Turkey Day.

Gotta run...

Mommy's Cruise

2007-11-20T02:00:00.000-05:00

For a couple of days Mom was taking out all kinds of cloths and had them on the bed and hanging everywhere. My mom was getting ready for her cruise with GG (Grandma Ginny). She finally picked out what she wanted and packed them into her suit case.

I decided to inspect her packing job. Hmm there's something in here that doesn't smell like suntan lotion...

Could there be some yummy snacks in here somewhere? You think I'm going to let those airport security hounds get these yummy treats???

NOT!!!

Wait till Mom opens her luggage and finds her snacks missing. Hehehe...

PS: Even after I lightened Moms load her suit case was still 7lbs over weight.

Halloween Doggie Parade

2007-10-28T22:15:00.000-04:00

Today Mom and Dad took me into town to walk in the doggie parade.

Mom was holding me up, I heard there were treats at the end of this parade. There were lots of other dogs there. There was all kinds of but sniffing, some dog licking, and a couple of growling & snapping incidents by the anti-social types.

You can see how well my anti-pull harness works. Dad kept asking Mom who's walking who?

I had to stop and checkout a new friend.

Common Mom lets pickup the pace, they said there were treaties at the end of this thing!!!

I gave little Sir Lancelot quite a ride, the little guy almost fell off.

They had treats for us when we got back. Dad got the last one that was left for me. I made another friend at the end of the parade, she was a fairy princess.

Well thats it for now, gotta run.

I've Been Paroled

2007-10-25T20:04:00.000-04:00

I've been let off with time for good behavior. Tonight was pizza night. I like pizza, I was able to mooch some off of the parole board (Mom), yum meatballs with garlic. Whew.... you should smell my breath.

Here I am playing with my Moo Cow. I have another one that I unstuffed that I call Cow Hide.

After dinner I cuddled up with Mom and a bone and watched some TV.

They cannot resist my wirey ways.

Love to all,

Grounded

2007-10-24T21:52:00.000-04:00

Well this morning started out like any other typical weekday morning. Mom gave me my breakfast and Dad took me for my morning walk. While Dad was walking me I somehow managed to slip out of my harness. You can imagine my surprise when I saw Dad holding both ends of the leash. I was FREEEEEEE.

Dad told me to sit and stay which I did right up until he was 6 inches from me then it was time to play catch me if you can. Dad yelled at me but I just thought it was the funniest thing. The more I refused to listen and run away the angrier Dad became. I ran around the corner onto the next block. I would let Dad come over while I taunted him with my butt up in the air and my wagging tail and then I would run away. When Dad finally caught me he snapped the leash on me and hauled me off to home.

Dad was now late for work which made matters worse. He deposited me home and off to work he went. I didn't even get my usual good girl treaty before he left, hmmf.

I don't feel I got my due process. No jury of my peers, no lawyer, just a sentence handed down... GUILTY.

I should call my human sister Melissa, she's a lawyer, although she's watched me so she might side with Dad. I will have to wait till the parole board (Mom) comes home to spring me. Wish me luck.

Please Contain Your Laughter

2007-10-20T17:48:00.001-04:00

I should have known Mom was up to something when she came home from the stores and was trying to lure me over with treaties while holding one hand behind her back.

No I'm not trying out for a part in a broadway show, this is my Halloween costume. What happened to the Underdog costume I picked out???

Do I look like a horse? Although I feel like the back of one. As you can see my weakness for treats is my downfall.

Mom keeps asking me how old is Daddy. What am I supposed to do wag my tail for each year? This is just not right. I have to wear this and give away perfectly good treats to human pups that come knock on our door.

I tried running around the house to get little Sir Lancelot off my back and all he does is bob back and forth waving his sword. Mom and Dad were laughing so hard they were crying.

I don't even like hay.

Not So Typical Saturday Morning

2007-10-13T21:57:00.000-04:00

Well this morning started out pretty normal. Mom got up early and went to work. I snoozed until Dad got up and had breakfast.

While Dad was having breakfast I decided to entertain myself with my monkey toy.

Here I am working on my bitey face technique.

After Dad was finished with breakfast he came over and played with me for a couple of minutes. He must have found a flee because the next thing I know is I'm getting soaped up in the tub. R-R-R-R-R I hate bath's.

After Dad was finished he dried me off the best he could. I finished the job by drying myself off.

The dining room rug...

The kitchen rug...

The living room rug...

Lets not forget the sofa...

The living room rug again...

Family For Dinner

2007-09-27T22:22:00.000-04:00

Me and my family just wanted to say thank you for all your warm wishes.

As I mentioned in my last post, we've had a lot of company the last couple of weeks. I am not allowed at the table during dinner, although I let them know I'm still around so they don't forget me. After dinner I was allowed to the table for dessert. I got to have delicious ice cream, but no Bailey's.

After dessert it was time to work off that ice cream. Here I am playing tug of war with Chris. Can you see the calories pouring off?

Look at this picture. I look like the big bad wolf. Chris put up a good fight but in the end I walked away with the rubber toy.

All this excitement was just too much... ZZZZZZZ

Bye for now.

Aunt Bobbie

2007-09-23T01:32:00.001-04:00

Hello everyone I've been away the last few weeks. Labor Day weekend brought a great tragedy to our family. Sadly
my Moms sister passed away. It was a very difficult time for the family. I was busy cheering up my Mom and the rest of my family with my zainy antics. If my Mom started to cry I would jump in her lap and lick her face until she stopped.

Aunt Bobbie came with Mom, Grandma Ginny (GG), and Melissa when she picked me up from my wirey Mom in Florida, so I only knew her a short time.

GG came up from Florida and stayed with us for 2 weeks so I was evicted from my dog cave, but that's another story. It was a very busy 2 weeks. We had family over, we went visting family, and a good friend Mark O'Grady came all the way from North Carolina to spend time with us. When Mom went back to work I kept GG company, she even played tug-of-war with me.

GG went home to Florida and Mom and Dad are back at work. I will continue my job of being the resident comedian / watchdog.

Prayers for Aunt Bobbie, she will be missed very much by all of us.

Talk to you all soon...

Bath For My Itchies

2007-08-25T22:01:00.000-04:00

Mom decided it was time for me to have a bath for my itchies. I hate baths...

After I escaped I ran around the house trying to air dry my coat. I ran and rubbed myself on the furniture the rugs, ran some more, rubbed some more. By the time I was done I was all out of breath and ready for a nap.

Dad took me to Petco to get me a treat for being a good girl in the tub. This bone will be history in a few days.

Gotta get back to chewing.

Do I Hear 5? Do I Hear 10?

My Mom helped out at the Mount Sinai Sailing Associations annual American Cancer Society Regatta. The money raised goes to a good cause. Well they had something called an auction where some guy yells out "Do I hear 5"? "Do I hear 10"? Well Mom got so caught up in the excitement she won a prize. I think the painting was a lot more than "Do I hear 10"? He He He... Cute fish Mom, where you hanging that?

Jack Across The Water

2007-08-02T21:08:00.000-04:00

Hello All,

Mom and Donna took me on the ferry last Monday in a great rain storm to see "Jack Across the Water" in Connecticut for a plucking. Now most of you might be saying what is so great about being out on a boat in a rain storm. The wind was howling the sea's were rocking and so was the ferry. Donna was getting a little queezy sitting in the cabin so her and Mom decided to go sit outside under the overhang. A-A-A-A the smell of that salt spray was just too much, I had to get a better whiff, so I tugged and tugged until Mom gave me more lead.

There I was out there in the spray with the wind blowing through my scruffy coat. Can you picture a wooden carving of me on the front of those old wooden sailing ships?

The following weekend I helped Mom wash off all the salt from the Jeep.

Dad went out to check on the sailboat and work has finally begun on replacing our fuel tank. Mrs. Sailor Dance aka Mom went out there a couple of weeks ago to find out what was the hold up. Squeaky wheel gets the oil. Hopefully I'll be sailing again soon.

Wind Blown

2007-07-17T21:46:00.001-04:00

Last Sunday Mom and Dad took me for a ride in Moms Jeep Wrangler. Can't you tell by the seat covers. Mom has this thing for convertibles. I would much prefer to be on the sailboat with the sea breeze blowing through my scruffy coat.

Notice I'm getting an education in aerodynamics. I feel like the human on the weather channel who stands outside during a hurricane. Heres a tip, keep your mouth closed unless you want bugs in your teeth.

We finally got to our destination, Chez Blaskopf also known as Donna and Teds. Ted and Dad exchanged the secret handshake. Humans are so strange. I got to meet a new friend "Lady". She is an old girl but she can run.

Trip to Massachusetts

2007-07-04T14:06:00.001-04:00

Dad and I went to visit Yaya (Grandma) this weekend up in Massachusetts. We drove out to Orient Point, NY where we got on a big ferry boat, the M/V John H. The ferry is much bigger than my sailboat. It sure was nice to be on the water again. There were a lot of dogs on the ferry. When we got to New London, CT we drove to Dudley, MA, but not before christening the state of Connecticut.

We spent the weekend with my Yayas. I checked out her condo and checked out all the sofa's to see if they were comfortable. Dad scolded me and told me to get down, I was just checking out the new diggs. I got to meet my human cousins Peter, Christine, and Charlie. Of course they thought I was cute.

Yaya doesn't have a yard so whenever I would ring my poochie bells Dad would take me for a walk, lots of walks till he caught wise. I just wanted to go exploring the neighborhood. I got to meet 2 dogs, a Jack Russel and a Boston Terrier who came running over to check me out.

When we took the ferry home there were even more dogs on the ferry. I have never met another Wire Fox Terrier but I got to meet two miniature Smooth Fox Terrier pups. They kept yapping at me at first and then they settled down.

As we approached Long Island there were lots of sailboats sailing with their sails full of wind. All that wind and so many sails.

First Day At The Boat Yard

2007-05-21T17:21:00.000-04:00

Mom and Dad brought me out to the boat yard yesterday. I was going to checkout my poop deck but decided against it after Dad found an unpleasant surprise in the bilge (thats like the crawl space under a house). Dad found a fuel leak and had to clean it up, he was not pleased.

Come on Mom lets get this cover off so we can go sailing...

While Dad was busy cleaning I decided to scope out things outside...

Look Mom a furry creature!!! Get back here you waskawee wabbit....

Where did he go? Did you see him Mom? I know he's around here somewhere...

After Dad was finished cleaning inside. Mom scavenged around the cabin and found some Goldfish pretzals for a snack. Mom thought they were stale, but I didn't.

Dad's been under the weather the last couple of days so I've been busy keeping him company.

The big brown truck stopped here the other day and delivered a box. Inside the box were new toys for me. Mom bought me a musical cow and a musical pig. I personalize all my stuffed animals by ripping off their eyes and noses. I entertain Mom and Dad by tossing my stuffed animals around the living room while they watch TV.

Dad's calling my name, time for my walk before I go to bed.

Bath Day

2007-05-02T16:42:00.000-04:00

Well the day did not get off to a good start. I left Mom 2 surprises of the odd and even number variety, she was not pleased. I guess she didn't hear me ring my poochie bells.

You remember I was gardening the other day? Well when you play you gotta pay. I got a bath this morning. Don't get me wrong I love the water, only on my terms. I am not too fond of rub a dub dub a dirty wire in the tub. I hate getting my beard soaped up "yuck". After I got out of the tub Dad dried me off with towels but I need to finish the job by running through the house as fast as I can so I can air dry myself off. This includes rubbing myself on the rug, the furniture and my bed. I got a chewy treat for being a good girl in the tub.

I was just about ready for a nap and Dad takes out the EVIL brush and comb. Just what every Wire wants is to be combed after they've had a bath R-R-R-R, easy with those knots Dad.

Gardening

2007-05-01T11:21:00.000-04:00

Mom was cleaning out the garage yesterday and I decided it would be more fun to dig up a bush. When mom turned around all she saw was dirt flying out from the bush's. My paws and legs were covered in dirt. Nothing like fresh dirt in between your pads. Well I never did finish digging up that bush, but I've got all summer.

Cousin Athena's Visit

2007-04-29T22:42:00.000-04:00

My cousin Athena's parents had to go on a trip for 10 days so she stayed with us for 10 days. Athena is a Border Collie / Lab mix about a year old. We had lots of fun running around and wrestling. Of course I had to let her know who was boss of the household. I found if I climb on her head and chew on her ears or nip her legs she will chase me around the house.

Yesterday Athena's parents came to pick her up, so I'm a little depressed that my playmate is gone. Well I still have my friends in the neighborhood to play with.

Where Do I Begin?

2007-04-24T20:46:00.000-04:00

Well I finally figured out how to use the computer. A lot has happened over the last year. Mom and dad gave me a new home with lots of toys and lots of love. Mom and dad gave me all kinds of attention. Dad taught me how to go up and down the stairs, whew 3 floors of fun.

After a few weeks of making myself comfortable in my new digs, mom and dad took me for a long car ride. When we finally got out of the car, there were all these boats in a yard. Mom had to carry me up a ladder to checkout my new summer home "Sailor Dance". Dad was working on the boat, he's always working on the boat. I sniffed around checking everything out. I don't know who came up with the term "poop deck" but seeing that I was going to be a sailor I made my own poop deck, oops.

Over the next few months dad would take me out to the boat to keep him company while he worked on the boat. I would hangout in the cockpit and watch the ducks swimming past the boat.

This boating thing can be very tiring and the sun is not one of my favorite things either. I know all the shady spots on the boat.

As the summer progressed I got to go on some trips with mom and dad. I went to Mystic Seaport and Milford, CT. My favorite place to sleep is in the v-berth with mom and dad. My favorite thing to do on a hot summer day is play with the hose in the cockpit.

When the weather turned cooler Sailor Dance had to come out of the water and my sailing season was over. The days grew shorter and my 4 legged friends didn't come out as often.

Mom and dad play with me and try their best to keep me amused but sometimes I have to make my own fun, that's when I get into trouble. Something called the holidays rolled around and dad put up a tree in the living room. It had all kinds of shiny things and stuff hanging on it. I was warned, sniff but don't chew. One day they took me to this really cool pet store. There was all kinds of stuff there, birds and fish. I got to sit on Santa's lap.

Well now that the holidays are over and the weather is warming up I'm itching for boating season, well maybe it's this sweater that's causing me to itch.

Well thats it for now. Stay tuned for more of my adventures.
