What To Do When It's Raining

My buddy Pipo asked this question yesterday, as the remnants of Hurricane Dean are leaving a lot of cities with rainy weather.

Well, of course I told him to practice some new training skills, do some fun dog games...but then my human dad came home today with the BEST new toy (however frustrating it is for me)!!

Two words: Pen Light.

Miracle Dog: Dalmation Rescued After Four Days in Storm Drain

After four days of searching and digging for their dog, a West Virginia family has found their buried dog alive.

In heroic efforts, the dogs owner, Larry Thompson, never gave up hope that his dog Alex would be rescued. Alex went missing Thursday, and after an initial search, Thompson heard noises from a nearby storm drain where he found Alex had fallen in.

After four days of digging, where most would have given up, a man in tears finally rescues his best friend.

He was rushed to the veterinarian on a stretcher to be checked out. The vet said that Alex is dehydrated, but he is doing well.

Thompson said: “I would have gone to any extent to get him out. It was the humane thing to do. I just couldn’t leave him in there to die, to suffocate. I’m just so glad we kept digging. Now all I have to do is clean up this mess I’ve made of my yard.”

Good luck Alex with your recovery! Our prayers are with you and your awesome "pawrents"!!

Illegal DVD Sniffer Dogs Awarded Medals!

Two black Labradors Lucky and Flo pose for photographer after receiving medals from the domestic trade ministry before they ended a six-month assignment in Putrajaya, Monday, Aug. 20, 2007.

The world's first dogs trained to identify optical discs by the scent of their chemicals, Lucky and Flo were loaned to the Malaysian government in March by the Motion Picture Association, a U.S.-based watchdog.

These pawesome dogs helped find 1.6 million DVDs and other optical discs, three DVD replicating machines and 97 compact disc burners, worth $6 million.

Twenty-six people were arrested during the raids.

Two paws up for these amazing pups!

Midnight Run

Well my human used to be an avid runner. Sometimes, she would take me along. Lately, I hear her complain about work, whatever that is, and being too tired.

But last night, she put on my collar and leash, and what I though would be our late night pee break became a midnight run!

Not far, but we hit the local soccer fields (two giant fields side by side), and off we ran! I loved it! She had to tell me to slow down! BOL! SLOW DOWN! But you just told me to run!

Well, I hope there's more running in my future! It makes me sleep like a baby (which of course, my human likes, I don't wake her up at the crack of dawn!!).

Life's a Beach!

My "pawrents" took me to Cherry Beach for a nice romp. To my surprise, I ran into my buddy Rocco, and another Manchester - Coco!!

THREE OF US AT ONE BEACH!!

It was loads of fun. I can't wait until September 8...we are having a Manchester Meet-up at the same beach! 10-15 Mannie's in one place! It'll be PAWESOME!

Me, Rocco and Coco (I'm on the right! BOL!)

My human dad with a cute Mini Aussie we met, Kilo.

Me and Rocco, with another black dog (BIG STICK!!)

My New PFD (Personal Floatation Device)!!

OMD! My human got me a PFD in order to help me feel more comfortable in the water...she's such a great human mom, but sometimes doesn't get that I'm built for speed on land. Land only. No water. Doesn't she know I'm so sweet cause I'm made of sugar and might melt if I'm in the water???? *sigh*.

Arrggghh! Mimi! Take it slow...

Helloooo! Can some puppy say "deer caught in headlights??!!"

On the beach area...where I'm most comfy!

Why do I look so stunned???

Apparently we're going to another beach today...the embarrassment continues!
