NEWSPAPERS:
If you have to go to the bathroom while playing in the front yard, always use the newspaper that's placed in the driveway every morning for that purpose.

What's with the changes?

Chance: "Hey, Mom, what happened to MSN Spwaces?"

 

Mitsy: "Huh? Let me see that." {Hops up on chair}

 

Oreo: "What's going on over there?" {Laying on bed across from computer}

 

Chance: "We're twying to figur out what happwened to MSN Spaces."

 

Oreo: "What? It looks like they changed the format!"

 

Mitsy: "Don't freak out.. I'm sure it can't be that bad."

 

Chance: "I don't undwerstand."

 

Oreo: "What's new?"

 

Mitsy: "Hey, be nice. He may get stuck in things a lot, but he's not dumb."

 

Oreo: "Are you kidding? He's about as sharp as a bowling ball!"

 

Chance: "What's a bowling ball?"

 

Oreo: "See!"

 

Mitsy: "Oye! It's like a tennis ball, only bigger, harder, and shiney."

 

Chance: "Oh."

 

Oreo: "ANYWAY, I wonder why they changed MSN Spaces?"

 

Mitsy: "I don't know, it was pretty cool before."

 

Chance: "I twink it was cool before they chwanged it."

 

Oreo: "Mitsy just said that. Go get stuck in a recliner somewhere."

 

Mitsy: "That's no way to talk to your son, Oreo."

 

Oreo: "Sorry, I'm just upset about the changes."

 

Mitsy: "Do you think Brandon will be back soon?"

 

Oreo: "Nah, he's busy in the yard with K and L. He has no clue we're on here. I know 'cause I just barked at him to let me out, and he didn't."

 

Mitsy: "Good! 'Cause the last thing we need is for him to find out we have our own space, and that we can type!"

 

Oreo: "We can't type!"

 

Mitsy: "Then why are the words appearing on the screen?"

 

Oreo: "Because the computer is set to type what we say."

 

Mitsy: "Oh, I didn't know it could do that!"

Oreo: "Well, we know where Chance gets it from!"

 

Mitsy: "GRRRR! You'd better remember who's alpha female around here!"

 

Oreo: "Oh, I'm so scared!" {sarcastic}

 

Mitsy: "You'd better be!"

 

Chance: "Would you guys pwease stop bickering and deal with the probwem at hand."

 

Oreo: "You're right Chance, MSN has completely changed the style of their spaces. I'm not too sure I like it.

 

Mitsy: "I concure. Spaces seems a bit plain now, and with Brandon's measley dial up, the pages take awhile to load, or crash the browser."

 

Oreo: "Yeah, especially when using MSN Explorer."

 

Chance: "Maybe we shwould ask others what they twink."

 

Oreo: "I bet this is all F.E.L.I.N.E.'s fault."

 

Mitsy: "Oye! When will you quit it with this whole seceret society stuff?.... Chance, I agree. If any other dogs are reading this.. or humans... please tell us what you think about the new changes."

 

Oreo: "Cats need not respond... I'm on to you cats... you can't fool me! Ha Ha Ha..."

 

{Brandon enters room unexpectedly}

 

Brandon: "What the... what are all of you doing around the computer?... and what's that on the screen?"

 

Oreo to Mitsy: "Hurry! Sign out!!! Sign out!!!!" {Whispering from side of mouth}

 

Brandon: "Off! You guys know better than too mess with my computer.... that's it.... Load up!"

 

Chance: "Ahh, man!....or uh, I mean woof!"

 

Brandon: "Huh?"

 

{Later that night before bed}

 

Brandon: "You're not going to believe this L, but I think I heard Chance talk!"

 

L: "Go to sleep dear, you're tired."

 

Brandon: "Yeah, I guess you're right... dogs can't talk. Night."

 

L: "Night." {Reaches over to kiss Brandon}

 

{Oreo laying at foot of bed}

 

Oreo: "heh heh heh." {chuckles softly with grin}

Human Trick Of The Week!

Alright! Oreo here with your brand new trick of the week! Last week we talked about how to get your human to say "NO!" as many times as possible with in a five minuite time period. I hope you all had success!

 

This week's trick is designed to help teach you dogs to teach your humans how to properly go on walks!    

 

Step 1: Sit infront of your human and stare at him/her until he/she figures out that you want to go on a walk. (This may take some time... human's aren't that brite, and they can be lazy). If this takes too long, go to the door and paw at the knob. Some of you little guys may have to settle with pawing at the door itself. If this still doesn't get your human's attention, go and get the leash.. if you can.

 

Step 2: Make sure to run around like crazy so your human has to exercise to get the leash on you.

 

Step 3: Remember that the leash is attached to your collar or harness to give YOU control of your human!

 

Step 4: PULL! Pull on the leash as hard as you can.. humans can be heavy and stubborn! They are also slow, so pull extra hard until they can keep up. (You may be pulling for most of the walk).

 

Step 5: Give your human a break once and awhile by stoping on the nicest lawn in the neighborhood and doing your business. Humans like to admire grass for some reason, so this is their reward and a bathroom break for you. Two birds.. one meal! If your human is one of those that likes to pick up your doo... I'm sorry.. this is a gross habit, and there is no known cure.

 

Step 6: Make sure to involve your human in chases! Humans love to chase us and yell! If your human drops the leash, that's the signal to run like the wind! Your human will have a blast chasing you.

 

Remember, a tired human is a good human! Keep the walks packed with exercise and don't let your human get infront of you! You are the boss, not the human.

 

Good luck, and have fun!

These are the answers from dogs when asked "How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?"

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out light bulb?

Border Collie: Just one. And I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

Dachshund: I can't reach the stupid lamp!

Chance's Day Out

Hello, my name is Chance. I am the son of Mitsy and Oreo. I am still young and full of energy. I get embarrassed sometimes because I tend to get stuck in things. Yesterday I got stuck under the recliner again. I like to lay under the foot rest when my human puts it up. I like the shade. But then I remember that I'm inside. Oops. I went outside today and pottied. It was fun. I saw a dead bird in the yard, so I rolled around in it for awhile. Then my human came over and told me not to, so I stopped. But when he was watching my parents and I went back over there and rolled around some more. Then I ate some grass and then pooped on it. After I poop I like to spread the sent by kicking up dirt. Today I accidently kicked dirt on Oreo and he got mad and chased me around for awhile. He is grouchy sometimes with me. Then I heard the dogs in the back yard behind us, so I tried to jump the fence. I didn't make it over, but Mitsy did! Oreo came over and we got into a fight. Then our human came over and broke it up. I don't like Oreo jumping on to me about trying to jump the fence. After all, he gave me the idea! It's not fair, Oreo is always bossing me around. He's not the alpha male you know, just the assistant alpha male. So I don't know what his problem is.

Mom snores. I can't sleep with her when we're loaded up together. I end up staying awake all night because she is so loud! She has a hair lip, so I know she can't help it, but still... I have to poke her through out the night so she'll roll over! She's a space hog too! I end up with my feet and ears hanging out of the kennell in the mornings! It's rediculous! When I woke up this morning I felt heavier than normal. My human calls me the runt of the pack. I am not very big for a Boston, so I was suprised to feel heavier when I woke up and walked around. Then I realized that I was stuck to my blanket! I was embarressed again, so I went and hid under the table for awhile. Well, it's late and my humans are sleeping. They don't know that I am on here so I better go. Also Oreo is growling at me. That's not a good sign. I think he needs to chill out! He is so darn bossy! Oh no, Mitsy just started snoring again. How am I ever going to get some sleep!?! Well, bye for now...

Chance
