Feeling Neglected

That's right pups. I'm feeling neglected. My human pawrents don't have regular 9-5 jobs. Sometimes it's a good thing. They can be home during the day with me. But this weekend, it was a bad thing. See, my human dad works in a gym running a martial arts program. My human mom is a designer/artist. So this weekend both were busy with "work".

The worst part is human mom was at home doing this "work"! So to me, I thought we'd have lots of time to play and snuggle. But she kept "shooing" me out of her art room so she could paint – ok, so trying to lay across her feet while she's trying to move around isn't such a good thing...

Some nerve! So even though I've got lots of toys, they weren't good enough. I moped around looking pathetic...trying to get some sympathy. It didn't work. Maybe if I ignore them they'll remember how bad it feels!

What do you pups do when you're feeling this way??

Salty Dogs are here!

I'm so happy to tell you about my friend Molly's new book! Well, it's her human's new book, but Molly's in it!!

It's called Salty Dogs, and it's a cute little book about dogs at the beach!

Her human is a pawesome photographer, and has her own daily blog of great beach shots of dogs.

Check your local bookstore or get your copy online at Amazon! Happy reading!

They're taunting me...

Those DARN seagulls!!! We're on our walk (I'm leashed...) and they sit in the parking lots...laughing...ooooohhhh I want to get them sooo bad!! Grrrr human mom is not letting me off the leash...she KNOWS I want to get them. Stupid birds.

Meet my Brother Rocco...

Well...brother from another mother! BOL!

Here we are from the Mannie Meet-up...thick as thieves! I love you man!

Update!

So my human felt soooo bad for me peeing on the ball...she mixed a disinfectant and went back to clean the ball off!! Isn't she crazy!! BOL!

Oooooops!

So this morning I did something I probably shouldn't have...

We were out for our morning walk, and went to the field behind my apartment for me to run around off leash for a bit. That's when I we saw it. Big shiny red ball at one end of the field. So off I ran to go give it a sniff. My human thought she might kick it around for me to chase...but before she got to it...

I lifted my leg and peed all over it!!! Oooops!

"SIMBA! How could you??!!" my human asked, clearly mortified. I gave the puppy eyes, "who me?" look and she tried to kick it around the wet grass to get some of the pee washed off.

I think she's going back with a garbage bag to throw the ball away...or with a bottle of water and disinfectant to clean it off.

Funny things we bark at

So my human and I went for a run tonight. We started through our neighbourhood streets and something strange caught my eye. I slowed down and started to growl. My human looked at me wondering what was up. I started to stalk toward my prey, inching closer–but not too close before deciding if it was friend or foe.

"Silly Simba, it's just a tipped over recycling bin! LOL!"

Oh. I knew that. I still gave it the once over sniff check...you know, just to make sure, then we continued on our run.

Do you pups ever bark at silly things?? I'd love to hear about it! Leave your comments!

I'm a model!

My human invited local professional dog photographer Peter Organa to our Mannie Meetup on the weekend. He was very nice and had a very friendly Corgi named Winter.

Here are two of the photos he took of me. I wasn't very co-operative with him though. Can you blame me? I just wanted to play with my fellow pups!

To see more of his AMAZING work, visit his website.

Mannie Madness!

Oy! I'm soooo tired! The meetup today was sooooo much fun!! Not everypup showed up...but there was about 7 Mannie's in total, and a lot of other dogs too! It was a gorgeous day for the beach, and much fun was had by all!

It was really pawesome to see Toy Manchesters (TMT) together with Standard Manchesters (SMT). You can really see the size difference. We're cute in all sizes aren't we??!! BOL!

My human fell in love with Leroy. She wanted to take him home. Hmpf. I wasn't too impressed by that idea.

Leroy is smitten with my Chi friend Starr
