I'M STILL ALIVE!

Hello, pups!
LONG time no-post!
It's almost been a year!

Don't get too excited; I'm pretty sure I'm not coming back to blogging for good....I just thought I'd drop in to let you know that I'm still living :P!
I've been doing good...I'm turning a little gray around the edges, but I'm still mischevious.
Why, just tonight I stole half a coffee cake off the counter while the humans were out of the house and ate it.
And for good measure, I ate 1/2 a cup of my food that was on the counter.

I have no shame.

________________________________________
In spring I got allergies again, and lost the hair on my ears and it was terrible....but now I get fish oil pills wrapped in salami a lot, and that helps me. My ears are all soft again.

I play with my human brother's dog a lot. Sasha; she stayed with us for 3 weeks in August. She's fun to play with; I only get a little jealous of her sharing half my bed.

I'm all decked out for Halloween; see my color? And my bandanna? That was from the groomers last week. I came back smelling like coconut.

Well...I hope all you doggies are doing ok! I love ya all :).

Tagged!

So...I was tagged...and I didn't even notice(I'm a LITTLE slow, all right?!!!)...and then I was tagged again...and that time I DID notice. So here is my tag.

I was first tagged by Dunja and then Markus.

Now here's the instructions:

1. Open the sixth folder of pictures on your computer
2. Pick the sixth picture in the folder
3. Post it
4. tell about it
5. tag others.
   

Well, I use the same computer as my human sis, and she already did this post, so I couldn't POSSIBLY use the same picture, so I did it kinda back words....I opened the sixth folder from the bottom of the list, and picked the sixth picture from the end in the folder....so this is what I came up with.

It is my sister. On a short little horse.

She rides horses.

She thinks they are cool. And she puts up with all of them. Personally, if I was a human (don't worry...I'm purely dog) I would not ever go near a horse. Because their brains are teeny. Compared to mine, anyway, and they don't deserve my presence.

But that is just my personal opinion.
But admit it-
It's a good opinion.

Anyway, she rode that horse. It's name was Sarina. It reared a few times, but she said it was ok.
When I rear, my humans call it jumping up, and I'm not allowed to do it.

I think it's the same with horses. But that horse up there jumped up ANYWAY.

That proves it.

That horse wasn't supposed to jump, but it did, proving it's brain is smaller then mine, because it should have seen a good smack coming with the crop before it came.

Silly, ignorant pony.

So that is my tag.
I will now tag my love, Ben, and I don't have time to pick out more pups, so if you read this, consider yourself tagged.

Abby, over and up.

Just a Picture-Post

Helllooooo again!

Helloooooooo doggies! I'm back for a quick visit! Again....pretty much just to show you this cute picture of me. My human mommy and sister and some visitors and I went to the beach last May together and my human sis took this picture. THEN on picnik.com she changed it so everything is black and white 'cept for my collar (which is a gorgeous pink even in real life) and she added the words and the cool frame thing. Isn't this cute? I think so.

It snowed last Wednesday here...at least, I think it was Wednesday. Anyway, it snowed up here in the hills at our house a full 2 inches! And the town below us only got a few sprinkles. Phooey. But it melted quick, and now its gone. But it was funny, because one day it was fall, and the next---Winter!!! So that's my news.

I'm honored that so many of you left comments on my quick post last time. Thank you so much! I always know I have doggy friends here in the cyber world. I'm going to curl up and nap now, because it's been raining allllll day so far. You know what our dumb cat Freckles keeps doing? Going outside. And getting drenched. And drinking water off the boards on the porch. And going in. And then wanting to go back out again. She's sooo silly. Silly, silly...

Anyway, that is all I have to say today.

Except for this:

When I first came to live with the family I have now, in 2001, I was a scared-y-dog. I could barely protect myself, let alone my human companions. Guess what I am now? I'm a *dangerous* watch dog! Kinda. I keep trying to protect my sister from her horse, but it's kinda hard to protect her when she's sitting ON the horse. I bark and chase the pony, and she doesn't like that. But it's ok, she just doesn't understand. I wonder how that pony forces my sister on her, anyway? Poor sis. She doesn't realize that horse is eeeeeevil. EVIL I say! Well, maybe I only see her as eveeeeil because my sister gives her more attention then she gives me...but I'm rambling. And I know my sis loves me. So I'll let you go before I get you even more confused and bored.

Have a good, rain-less weekend, furry friends!

I'm alive!

Hello, lady and gent dogs! I'm just on for a quick visit to let you know I'm still alive and doing well. I didn't want you to worry that I was gone or somthin'...anyway, here are some recent pictures of me that my sis' took. Do you see that cute Beau dog? Well, his owner came and visited this summer in August and he's in training! He's goin' to be a guiding eyes pup! He's really cool. He's lots of fun and he's doin' well already--his owner is doing a great job! I can't wait until he's got a person to lead around, that'll show the world how cool we canines are! And he'll probably look pretty sharp, too, in his jacket...

Well, like I said, just a quick post. I hope you all are doing well! I don't even know how many of you check this blog anymore, but I thought I'd drop a note anyway. :)

PLAY AND FEED A STARVING PERSON!

Hey, Guys! Just dropping by to say, CHECK THIS OUT!
Play on Free Rice whenever you're board-it's kinda fun, and it feeds people, too! AWESOME!

I'm Still Alive

Hello, Pups! I have no excuse for not having posted since Mommy's day...All I can say is that I'm sorry. I am still alive, just have been too lazy to slide myself into the computer chair and make a post.
I DO have to wish my human Mom a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You're another year older! YEY! ;-) I hope you have a wonderful day, and I'll try not to roll in smelly stuff and get dirty, just for today...and, what the heck, I'll through tomorrow in, too, for good measure.

I'm sorry to say it guys, but I think I have to kind of quit this blog. I'm not deleting it, but don't expect a post often. I'm sorry to do this to you...but I have to. I'll still post sometimes, and I'll read your blogs...

Happy Mommy's Day!......A Walk in the Woods....90 posts!

Hey, guys! I'm really sorry I haven't posted, there is no excuse for that, just laziness, and I'm ashamed...

Happy Mommy's Day to all the mommy's out there, human AND dog! I was thinking, what about doggies? Do dog-mom's get to celebrate Mom's day?!? I don't know my doggy mom....did she look like this? Or was that my dad? Or did she look like THIS? Or was THAT my dad? Or maybe they were both already mixed dogs, or one of them was a mix, and they had those two breeds in them? Or am I three breeds? I really don't know.... I wish I did, though. All my humans know is that before they got me, when I was a year old, I had been in two families. The first family brought me to a shelter, another person picked me up, didn't like me, and brought me back to the same shelter. When I had left the shelter the first time, my name was Liberty, the second time I went back to it, my name was Abby....I like Abby a lot more. It's cuter.

Anyway, in honor of Mother's day we (my mom, dad, and human bro) went for a walk in our woods.....and the horse. This caused a problem, see, at the beginning of the walk I wasn't on the leash and I, just for fun, ran up to the horse and barked and pretended to bite her. Of course I COULDN'T bite her, but I pretended. Well, my humans yelled at me in that most annoying way, but I blew it off and did it again, and where did that get me?!? On the leash! Do you see me in the picture?! Notice the leash? (that's my human brother holding me)....well, it ruined the walk. It was still nice, but so not cool....I cropped out me from that picture because I had this adorable face on, so here it is:

Now I must go...I hope you enjoyed your weekend, and I hope you guys have a great week to come! Bye!

Oh, by the way, from now on the time that the post is posted will not be the real time, because I can't change the time to what it is or else blogger will think it's a scheduled post time thing even though it isn't...right now it's really 6:08 PM, just so you know. :D
