Dogs and Cats

There really is a difference between cats and dogs. I'm with the girl...but not at her house. I'm at a house with two cats (although I've only seen one for just a minute). The brave one that checks me out all the time, stares at me then hisses. I don't get it! Strange creatures.

My person is away. I miss him. I also miss Angel and Diva at my other house. But the girl is fun... and she always makes sure I have the good food to eat. Yum!

So, I woke up with the sun this morning. I don't think the girl was really happy. She kept saying "Benson, this is earlier than I get up for work". But hey, like Will.i.am....It's a New Day! After I FINALLY got the girl to get moving, she took me on the best trip. We went to a park of just dogs. There were so many dogs... so many different kinds. Little dogs and barking dogs and yippy dogs and lazy dogs and hyper dogs and one HUGE Irish Wolfhound. That dog was so big! I had a great time. But now I am so worn out. The girl says its supposed to get cloudy and rainy later - and thats fine with me because I need a nap!

They say its my Birthday!!

Hello! Guess what? I didn't know if myself, but yesterday was my BIRTHDAY!! How fun! My person and the girl say that I am 2! They also say I'm 14 - so I'm not really sure which it is... but whatever, I got special treats!!! Yum! My person also took me for a bath and a hair cut. I look good! The girl says I smell really good too. They took a picture of me wearing my birthday hat - I'm so handsome!

Ch-ch-ch-CHANGES!

Hello everyone! I know its been a really long time (a dog gone long time, actually) since I used the computer. I've been so busy! I really like it now that the weather is nice out side. My person takes me for longer walks and even for runs. My person says I can run 3 miles in 27 minutes. Is that fast? I think it must be pretty good, because my person sure seems happy with me.

Lots of stuff has been happening and I've been a little confused lately. First, my person and I keep spending the night at the house where Angel and Diva live. They are my friends, I just love them. Those girls wear me out! We don't go to my persons house anymore. And my crate and bed isn't here. I sleep on a little bed in the basement with my person... its small, I wish he would scoot over at night - jeeze. My person and the girl tell me that we are getting a new house soon. Hmm, as long as I go too - I don't care where we go.

I've been a little scared too... my person calls them "fireworks" and tells me I'm okay, but man, I really hate those noises. Its so scary. I hope they end soon.

My life is pretty good. My person has a thing called a boat. Its loud and its fast. And I love it! :) The girl bought me a new yellow coat to wear - don't know why but I have to wear it on the boat. I go swimming in it. I like swimming. The water is cold and I get lots of attention from the people in the water. I'm a pretty lucky dog!

Get by with a little help from my friends...

Interesting day so far. My person left this morning with a bag, looks like he is traveling for business again. Only supposed to be one night, not too bad. My persons dad came over at lunch time to play. SO MUCH FUN! I really like him. He's goofy, just like my person. And he plays with me too. Today he taught me new tricks. I'm learning to catch and to beg pretty. I can't wait to show my person my new skillz!

The girl came over in the afternoon. We went to the store (I had to stay in the car) and then we came over to her house. I've been over here more often lately. I like it here. I'm even getting used to the hardwood floors. They're slippery and sometimes I forget I need to go slowly on the stairs. But the reason I like the girls house is because I have friends on all 3 sides of the backyard. The only trouble is there are fences so its hard to play. I went out looking for them when we first got here - but they're not outside right now. I will whine to the girl in a few minutes until she lets me outside to go check again! I've got her trained. I'm so good!

Its Raining, its pouring...

And this doggie's snoring! Not much to do today expect get cozy on my persons bed and sleep the day away. The girl stayed with me last night (my person had another business trip). Sure wish he didn't have to go away. It makes me sad. The girl let me out this morning and it was really raining. I didn't want to go, but I really had to (you know what I mean?) so I had no choice. It was a quick trip though, let me tell you. I really don't like getting wet in the rain. I think I will be careful not to drink much water today, so I don't have to go back out there. Ick!

Okay, well all this blogging has me tuckered out. Back to my bed!

Change of Scenery

My person left this morning... he fed me my breakfast and then he said goodbye. Well, it was only a little while later and the girl showed up. Thats fun! I was really excited to see her. She grabbed a bag (my person packed it) and we were off. I like her little car - it matches me, white and black. She took me to the girls house. Last time I came over here it was snowy, but how fun when I got here today that I learned the girl has all these little bushes leading to her porch. I had to smell every single one.





So now I am at the girls house. The girl bought me a couple new toys. They are great - I love them. I don't love the hard floors though - or the stairs. Its not like my persons house. We did (well, she did - and carried me) go down to the basement - theres not hard floors down there. Its cozy and I like it here. Very cozy couch too. I layed on the couch while the girl sat on the floor.



The girl and I went for a walk. I am getting so good at heeling and walking off my leash. I'm such a good boy. The girl calls me "Buddy". I like that! The girl told me that I am a hero. I'm not really certain what a hero is - but I guess it must be when you help other dogs find their way home. We were on our walk (very fun - new neighborhood = new smells!) and I was sitting waiting to cross the street (see, such a good boy!). The girl and I heard some yelling and then some barking and saw two dogs running towards us. One was a little bitty thing barking his brains out (annoying) but the other was a chocolate lab and we made friends. Then a bunch of people and cars came toward us and a lady was crying and so excited that the dogs had stopped running and were smelling me. She told me I was a good boy and the lab slobbered all over my face. The girl told me I was a hero. Because of me the dogs stopped running away and their owner was able to rescue them and put them in the car. So, I'm a hero!


Its been an exciting morning. I think I will go lay in the sunshine and take a rest.

Joe Cool!

Yeah, I'm giving Snoopy a run for his money. All I need know is my own little Woodstock.
