Monday Mischief - Fence Zoomies (take-2)

My nextdoor buddy is Charlie.   I am older dan him, but he is really tall and can run really fast.  Everyday we do fence zoomies together and den I get a treat from Charlie's dad.   Cool huh?

We couldn't get our video to show up in blogger (grrrrrrrrrr), so my assistant (Mom) did some screen shots of da video.   It's not as good as da video, butt it'll have to do.  Humm.. now dat I look at the pics, I think dat Charlie got a head start.

TREAT ME !

Well... I decided that it is a lot of work for just one treat, so I decided to trained Charlie's dad to give me a treat before I do fence zommies with Charlie.   Dat way I can decide whether or not I really wanta run.   Smart huh?   Des humans are so easy to train.

Mom is not happy dat I just take the treat and then do not run wiff Charlie.   She say dat Santpaws is watching and dat I need to zoom wiff Charlie as it makes him really happy.   Santapaws likes pups dat spread good cheer wiff other pups.   Do you believe dat?

I'm Back

Arrrrroooooooooo!   I'm Back in Blogville and I missed y'all.

I've been really busy trying to catch-up wiff my old friends and hope to make some new ones.

I was just visiting my very tall furfriend, Behr and she is back too!  Behr talked about her "Noseworks Awards" so I thought I'd give it a try.   I'm not really sure what it is butt, I figured I'd give it a go.   So, I put my big nose in a bush and came out wiff greenies.

 

What do you think?
Award worthy?

Do you think da girls will appreciate my new talent?

Invasion of da French

I am soooooooo excited to tell you all about my Christmas visitor.

Grrrrrrrr.... woof!   Let me in!

Messi flew all da way from NY to NC, just to have Christmas wiff ME!  Wow.... I've never ridden on a big bird plane.

He came wiff Aunty D's son (dat's Mom's nephew) and his new wife.  Dar da ones dat got married in NYC and in Nepal.

So you are probably wondering how he got his name.   Can you guess?

Hint:  He is a pawsome ball handler.
He can even carry da ball on da side of his mouth.
Maybe it's just stuck on his tooth.

No.... it is not because he makes a mess (even though he did pee in da house 2-3 times).

He is named after some famous soccer player.  

Now, Messi is a city/concrete boy so at first he didn't know what to do in my yard.   He tried to play ball on da patio butt I showed him dat it is much more fun to run around and play in da grass.

Zoommmmmmm.....

He's a pretty smart frenchie (for a 1 1/2 yrs old) and he caught on fast butt it took like 87 try before I got him to play "chase me" (my favorite game).   For da record..... I am way much faster dan him.

I also taught him all sorts of fun stuff (like tug-a-war-stuffie) and he was AMAZED at ALL of my toys.   We did have one casualty.

Ooops!

My new Christmas toy (da yellow Giraffe from Jack)  kinda lost his tail and is now in da stuffie hospital.    Maybe Messi was trying to make my Giraffe look more like him (hehehehe).

Once I got used to his accent, we became Best Pals.

If we sit real good, my Mom will give us a cookie.

I'll tell ya more about Messi's visit tomorrow.
Stay tuned for da French Invasion (Part 2).

New Furfriends

Last weekend, Aunty D's #2 son just got married in NY and Mom and Aunty D went up to the wedding wiffout me.    I don't understand why I didn't get to go to da wedding.   Da grooms and brides pup (Messy) was dar.   Messy is 1 yr old and is a Frenchie.

Anyways, Mom took me to Aunt Sue's house while she was gone.   Aunt Sue cares for little pups like me in her home and I get to play wiff other boarders.

When I got dar, only Java was dar.

Java

Did I mention dat Aunt Sue has a really BIG TV and you know how much I love to watch da commercials on TV.

Dis is pawsome !!!!!

At first Java thought dat I was crazy but den I taught him to watch TV too.

Java is now a TV commercial junky, just like me.

Java is one cool dude but doesn't like to play chase.   He did showed me da ropes.

Ranger:  Is it really OK for us to be up here?
Java:  Yep.

Hummmm.... Miss Sue even has steps to get up on her bed.
Sweet !!!!!!

Meet Paci!

My new buddy Paci.

Da next day Paci showed up.

Yippy....... Paci likes to play chase.

Paci and I burned up loads of calories and dog treats.

Catch me if you can Paci.

We were den da dynamic trio and had a grrrrrreat time.

On da last day dat I was dar, Cromwell showed up.   Mom went crazy over his name.

When Mom came to pick me up, I decided to snub her and I ran over to Miss Sue instead of Mom.

But den Cromwell made nice wiff Mom and so she started to give him loads of attention.

Well.... I had to put a stop to dat and told him off and moved him away from MY Mom.

I really had a good time and it is much better to hang out wiff Miss Sue dan at da kennel.

I can wait to go back and see Aunt Sue and all of her other boarders when Mom and Aunty D go to Nepal for 2 1/2 week for Aunty D's son's second wedding in Nepal (where da bride and her family live).   I just love making new furfriends.

Pees.... I haven't mastered da doggie door yet but maybe during my next stay I'll figure it out.

Special ALERT: Snow Freaks break out of boxes!

OMD!!!!!   I just saw on da talking screen dat dar has been a massive escape of boxed-up Snow Freaks for a moving van heading for Pen-sil-van-ya and dey are sliding around Blogville.   It's chaos!

I'm on da Job.   Let's roll.

I'd better mobilize All of our available Officers so we can chase down des slippery criminals.

Calling all Blogville Pawlice Force Officers.......   we have work to do!

Grab your fur dryers and let's gather up des rolly-polly felons.

Arty's found a Tree-Snow Freak!
Really?  Maybe the squirrels helped
dem escape.

Jr. Officer Dui is looking to de-stuff one.

Officer Easy's got three in tow.

Officer Sully and I just located a herd of Snow Freaks.
Let's get dem!

Holy Rolly-Polly...... now what do we do wiff all of dem?   I better check wiff my bosses.

Why do dey keep grinning at me?   It's creepy.

Sidebite (Blogville's Top Cop) consulted wiff Sarge (da Pawlice Commissioner) and dey came up wiff a pawsome idea.

We're sending dem All to California.   Why California?

Well ya might have heard dat dey have a biggie drought problem.

In da California sunny weather, dey will melt and we'll solve California's drought problem.    We're solving 2 problems wiff dis one solution.


I bet dat even Donald Trump hasn't come up wiff such a clever drought relief plan.    We dogs are just soooooooooooooo... SMART!

My job here is done.
Time for some donuts and a nap.

Welcome back Frankie & Ernie!   

I've missed all of your crazy antics.

Cheater.... cheater

So..... Mom and Aunty D went to NYC wiffout me.   I really didn't mind cuz I got to go to Doggie Camp and play wiff my furfriends.

BUT...... den I found out dat dey cheated on me while dey were away.    When Mom picked me up, I could smell another dog and see dog hairs on here.   Hey.... I'm a detective so I notice des things.   She should know better.

After I interrogated her, I found out that they played and hugged another dog.  AND.... when I saw pictures (da evidence), I saw dat she cheated on me wiff  Yota! 

Yota (aka Messy - he's 9 months old)

Can you believe it?     And..... she didn't even get me his autograph!    Grrrrrrrrrrr.

 Wags, 

          Ranger

Pees..... Yoga really sheds a lot.  Mom and Aunty D had little blonde hairs all over dar pants.  Is that da case will all Frenchies?

Best Friends Day

According to my Wacky Holidays June calendar, today is Best Friends Day!

Sooooooooooo......  I'm givin a BIG Shout-Out to my 2 BFFs.

We're a pretty "tight" group and always have fun together.

I love you guys!
You'll have to come over soon for a pool-time playdate.

Sniff testing

I just got back from doggie camp.   I was dar while Mom and Aunty D flew to NYC for a long weekend.    I had a blast playin wiff my fellow campers and was all happy until I did my usual detecting (sniff test).   You'll never believe dis.  

My MOM is a CHEATER! 

Who have you been wiff?

She should know dat she'd get caught.   I mean really????   I'm a trained investigator and a Deputy Top Cop on da Blogville Pawlice Force.  

After some skilled interrogating, she finally confessed.  

She was playing wiff Messi .

Bonjour!   I'm Messi.

Do you have a problem -or- maybe some snacks?
Can you help me find my ball?

What's wiff dos CRAZY ears?   And where is all his furs?   What... no beard?  Maybe I shouldn't be too worried about da competition.

Anyways....  Messi (named after some ball player) is a French baby pup.   His parents are Aunty D's #2 son and his fiancé and dey all live in NY.   I think it's someplace dat has a Queen or a bridge or may an airport.
He was supposed to come wiff his parents at Christmas to visit me, but dey didn't want to fly Messi when dey had connecting flights and 2 subway rides.   Dang..... I could've had a real live puppy to play wiff at Christmas.

I guess I'll give Mom a pass (dis one time).  
Next time..... Messi has to come here!    Mom says dat I could teach him a lot as his parents are kinda clueless but dey love him loads.

Dis is Messi wiff his Mom (and Aunty D's future daughter-in-law)

Wags, 

                Ranger (DTC)

Pees......   Mom told Messi's parents to check out Two French Bulldogs for everything Frenchie.   I think he kinda looks like a baby Angel Benny.

Mischief Monday - Yakety Yak Yak

Belated Christmas stuff....

I had great fun wiff our Christmas Holiday intruders.   One of dem was a beautiful girl from Nepal (She is going to be Aunty Ds future daughter-in-law).
Anyway.... she was great fun to play wiff, chased me all around da house and gave me very nice grab-hugs.

She thought dat I was soooooo cute and said dat I looked like a baby Yak.
What?   Now dat's a first for me.   So I got on my yaptop and googled Yak.

Yak, bovine mammal, of the Tibet region of China and adjacent areas. It is oxlike in build, with short, thick legs, humped shoulders, large upcurved horns ears, and a thick coat that hangs down to the ankles.

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm… dat does kinda sounds like me.

What do you think?   Do I look like a little Yak?

Wags, 

         Ranger

Pees.... maybe I need a good brush.

Remembering Greta

Today is National Pet Memorial Day and I'm thinkin about our sweet Greta dat recently passed from eating a really bad mushroom.

My favorite memory of Greta was when she was racing around on the Dogtona Motor Speedway on my last Barkday.

She looked so pretty in pink dat I think all da boys were watchin her instead of payin attention to dar driving.   And…. she had a really cute butt so dar was some pretty spectacular viewin, drivin behind her.   Hey, now dat I think about it…. maybe dat was her strategy.   She was one smart cookie!

Mr. Bailey was dar cheering her on.

Oh… did I remember to tell you dat she WON da Junior Class race?   Yep…. Greta was one fast racer.

I am thankful to have known Greta.  Race on sweet Greta (our girl in Pink)!

Now pop on over to read Oz's poem in honor of Greta.

           Ranger

Pees… I'm also remembering Aunty D's terrier/beagle mix pup and my 1st big brother, Rocky.

Rocky and me (Baby Ranger)

I adored him.
I only knew him for only a month or two.
He was 18 1/2 yrs old.
