What day is this and what time is it?

Us dog's we don't usually know what day it is or the time of day.  We usually go by a set pattern governed by mom.

We got to go to our favorite dog park in all of the world (Point Isabel, of course), and mom picked up our friend Japhey (pronounced as Jap ee).  Him and Dannii met about 6 years ago, before Jenna and I came to live here. Mom used to dog-sit Japhey when his parents (both were in the Air Force at the time) got called to duty.  Now, we haven't seen Japhey in about a year. His parents are now divorced, and Japhey is living with the x husband, as mom call's him.  So mom got his phone number from Japheys mom, and she called and asked if she could take Japhey with us to the park, and surprise, surprise, he said, yes!  We's was so excited! Mom had a hard time getting pictures of Japhey as he is constantly in motion, and hardly ever stops. But, she did get some.


This is a picture of Japhey but he's kind of far off, doing his own thing. He loves to explore.


This is Japhey and I.  I am on the left side.  I can't remember what we were talking about, but apparently I wasn't liking what Japhey was saying.


Jenna is on the far left, and then me (Zak), with Japhey coming towards us. He looks like he is hot. All of us dogs got some nice cool water to drink, and Japhey was no where to be found so he could get a drink too. But he did get some a little bit later.  I have to tell you, it was very warm that day.  Mom thinks it was in the high 80's. It was very nice at the park, but very warm also.  For once, mom didn't need a jacket.


Japhey is resting his head on the back of Dannii. Notice he is on the leash, as mom didn't want him taking off as we were closing to leaving.









This one here, we were all checking out some interesting smells in that bush there.  There was a lot of p-mail, for us dogs, and we were all trying to decipher the mail.


We met up with a Whippet, and we were running with him, but he was mostly chasing a frisbee, and he didn't like it too much when us dogs decided he was fun to chase.  As you can see, his owner was using the frisbee to hold water so all us dogs could get a drink of water.


Your's truly, Zak.  Do I look fat in this picture?  If you are going to say, yes........don't tell me.  I don't want to hear it, as mom will then put me back on a diet.  Dang, she's going to do it anyways, she just told me!  


This is Jenna, and probably my butt. hehehehe.  For once she didn't take enough pictures of Dannii to get a good one of him, by his self.


Mom met this dog, actually a 4 month old puppy, named Cooper.  She just loved his face.  Some kind of a wired-haired dog. But very friendly and mom thinks, very sweet.


This is Japhey.  He sure looks thirsty huh?  That's what he gets for running and running.  Doesn't take time out for a drink of water.  That's me just looking at him.  I know I am telling him something, but I forgot what it was. Its obvious he wasn't listening anyways.





That's enough of pictures.  Mom thought she lost her cell phone Tuesday night, but she found it in the school's driving car on Wednesday morning.  She had to take Jenna back to the vet's because her stinky breath came back.  The vet said that Jenna has Stomatitis, and he put her on Clindamycin 150mg 2x a day for the next two weeks.  She's got to back in then for a recheck, and may have to stay on the Clindamycin for another two weeks.  It depends on what the vet finds in two weeks from now.

Today would have been mom's youngest son Beau's 32nd birthday.  He died when he was 13 years old, so we never got to meet him.  Mom say's that now Beau has been with God longer than he was with her, and she's thankful for that, but she still misses him very much.  He died Christmas of '91.

We don't write every day, but we are trying to write at least once a week, more if we can, and if we have anything new to report.

You all come back again, now hear?

Another day and another surprise

We got to go to the point today. It was the same as usual, but on the way back to the cafe, mom ran into a friend of her's that she hasn't seen for several months.  Her name is Kalie (pronounce as Ka lay), she's married to someone else now, which mom knew about, and Kalie had Star with her. We get along with Star but we sure like her brother Japhey alot more. Japhey is living with Kalie's x-husband.  Mom asked if Kalie would email her Paul's phone number so she can call and ask him if she could take Japhey with us to the point, and Kalie said that she would.  The surprise turned out to be that Kalie is going to have a baby the end of February. We wanted to know if she is going to have multiple babies, and if we could have one?  But mom explained to us, that human's (most of the time) have only one baby. Sometimes there can be two or three. But mom said no, we can't have any human babies. She's a poor sport. We thought having a baby in the house would be great, but mom explained that they cry ALOT and need to be fed ALOT and lots of other things.  So maybe it is a good thing that we don't have any babies in the house, as it would probably eat up all of our dog food!
This here is a picture that mom got of a squirrel when we were on our way back to the cafe.  He was sitting out in the open just munching away on something. Mom and her friend and some other people who stopped and were petting us dogs, all made the comment that the squirrel was a brave little soul to be out in the open like that. I have to admit, I didn't see him and I guess Jenna didn't either, but Dannii sure did, and he went over to check him with the hopes of maybe having a snack. But the squirrel was fast, and he scampered back in under the rocks.


As you can see, Dannii got close and we thought that he almost had himself a snack, but the squirrel was alot quicker than Dannii thought.  After wards, Jenna and I were over among the rocks to see if we could find him, but am sorry to report, that the squirrel went deep under the rocks and we couldn't find him.








Mom got another basenji decal for her car. She had one just like this on the red zoom zoom, but it was in white.  This one she got in a coppery red, so it matches our fur!  Wasn't that kind of her to do?  You can also see the magnetic bumper sticker she has that was on the other car also. It has our pictures on it which we think is really cool.

This is a close up of the basenji decal. We think it looks great.  How about you?










You all come back again, now hear?
