This morning started out like any other. Daddy got up and proceeded his getting ready to leave for the day routine... but then Mommy got up and mentioned "Go For" and "Car Ride", which totally means wonderful things all around. So shortly after Daddy left, Mommy got my sister Miyu and I on leashes and took us "Go for a car ride." It was a rather lengthy ride in which I saw fit to take the time to wash out my sister's ears, how do ears get so dirty? Its as though I have to lick them clean ALL the time. But anyway. When Mommy finally stopped the "Go for a car ride," she only took Miyu out of it with her, leaving me behind. I watched as she walked Miyu around the side of a building where they dissapeared. Some time later Mommy came back but... no Miyu! Where did she go? When Mommy got in the "Go for a car ride" she asked me "Where's Miyu?" a whole bunch of times, but I didn't know! I tilted my head to let her know that I understood but had no answer. Well, then we just left! We left without finding Miyu! Is she gone now? Did we lose her?! I mean, she is a pain and its been wonderful getting attention from Mommy and Daddy today but... I'm a bit concerned... will I ever see my little bratty sister ever again?

Lately there've been other humans coming over to our house, and one pair of them has brought a cat with them! Now, if there is one thing I've learned from having an older sister and a cousin that's a cat, is that you can NEVER annoy them. If you do, they have the most sharpest claws in all the world and they hurt! Luckily most cats that I've met have been nice about not using their claws unless... well... I get excited sometimes! I just wanna... hop! and play! and pounce the cats! But... they don't like that. Mostly its just my cat cousin that really has it out for me, she's just brutal!
But anyway, as I was saying! So I have a new cat friend who Mommy, Daddy, and the others call Max, though he says his name is "Mua-ax" or something to that effect. He's pretty cool for a cat. He puts up with my sister Miyu and I far better than big sister Chacha did upon first meeting us, and thats for sure! We let him have his space and once in a while he'll let us have a sniff, its all about the give and take I suppose.
So a pawful or two nights ago, we all went on a walk together. Usually its just me, Miyu, Mommy, and Daddy, but this time its like we were a whole pack! Max's Mommy and Daddy joined us, along with Max, and this other human guy... I don't think he has a dog or cat companion of his own, it sort of makes me feel sad. But we had a great time! Then, just a few days ago, Mommy and Daddy and Miyu and I went with Max and his Mommy down to the park for a good romp and path walk. I would have enjoyed it more had it not been soooooo hot!
Speaking of which, I wonder when Mommy is going to start making those tasty icies again? OH! I hope Miyu doesn't steal those from me too! That little runt! I'd get my snacks back from her but, I just don't have those aggressive tendencies. Ah well. -WHINE!!!- I don't want it to get hot outside! I can tell that the days are growing warmer and warmer, what can a dog do? At least this'll make Kitty Chacha happy...
Well, I guess thats it for now! Until next time, buh byes!

Hey! How did Miyu post an entry on MY journal?! MIYU!!!! My little sister is such a brat! Mommy and Daddy even say so! And I... uh... I may have nibbled on the coffee table a little but... well... it tastes good and feels good on my teeth, such a hard temptation to resist! You can hardly blame me... right? Anyway...
I've been busy lately pup-sitting my baby sister, boy is being a big sister hard work! Kitty Chacha always made it look so easy! And she gets so much of the attention. Mommy says that Miyu gets a lot of attention because her and daddy need to keep Miyu out of trouble. I don't know though, do you think Mommy and Daddy are forgetting about me? I don't even sleep with Mommy and Daddy anymore... Miyu does! And when she goes potty outside, they give Miyu a cookie, but not me! And when they do give me a cookie, Miyu takes it! Boy is being a big sister harder than it looks! Does anyone else have these problems?
At least when I chewed on the table they noticed me... :(

| A Dog's Story... |
|
|
| 12:02am 11/01/2007 |

mood:  sad
|
When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was "bad", you'd shake your finger at me and ask "how could you?" But then you'd relent, and roll me over for a belly rub. My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be anymore perfect. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs," you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
***
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisoner of love". As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch-- because your touch was now so infrequent--and I would have defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway. There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf.
***
Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family. I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understood the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers." You had to prise your son's fingers loose from my collar as he screamed "No Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life. You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too. After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They shook their heads and asked "How could you?"
***
They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind -- that this was all a bad dream...or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me. When I realised I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate. I retreated to a far corner and waited. I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a seperate room. A blissfully quiet room. she placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood. She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured "How could you?" Perhaps because she understood my dogspeak, she said "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained that it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself -- a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place. And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her.
***
It was you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of. I will think of you and wait for you forever.
May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.
THE END.
***
This of course is not my story... but it is one of countless tens of thousands (if not more) other dogs... I know... I've seen them at the shelters, they were there, right with me...

Okay. I have to say it. I LOVE being a big sister! Sure she chews my toys and hogs some attention from Mommy and Daddy, but the silly lil thing grew on me... eh, which... didn't take very long. She is bent on trying to be just like me and plays all my favorite games with me ALL the time, even when I'm too worn out to and drag myself to my paws. Mommy and Daddy say that they named Miyu after the big shinie bright full moon that shone on our car ride home with her from the shelter place. They say that Miyu is a Japanese name meaning "Beautiful Moon", or somesuch thing. Although they did ALMOST name her Pepsi... then we'd both had had beverage names! But we like to be a little unique... despite the fact that Miyu wants to do and learn everything I do and know. She even wants to make her own Live Journal! Luckily she doesn't know how to read or type yet, so that should be a while. I'll just have to write for her! ...if I feel like it. Daddy took some pictures of us that I hope he'll load into the computer soon for me to show you guys, we really are quite a beautiful pair! I being the most beautiful of course, but she doesn't have to know.
On the other paw... my big sister kitty Lady Chacha-Sama seems to be a bit distant from Miyu at best. While she is patient and kind enough not to use her claws on little Miyu, she will hiss and act very threateningly. I wonder why she has such a problem with Miyu? Of course, Mommy and Daddy say that at first she was the same way with me... maybe she's just jealous? Who knows.
Well, let you know more later, buh byes!

OH my gosh! The car trips, the dogs, the humans! We were all over the place! But at long last we are back home. Don't get me wrong, I had a blast! It's just nice to be able to relax and rest a little in the comfort of your own pack-place den! Well... I THOUGHT I was going to be able to relax...
Yesterday mommy and daddy took me for a car ride, it was nice and fun as car rides usually are and our destination was most interesting. Mommy and Daddy left me in the car while they walked up to this building with all these loud barking dogs in weird pens... I sat and waited a while. And waited some more. I saw Mommy and Daddy playing with one of the dogs from a pen, he was all wiggly and ran around all fast. Then they went back in the building and I waited some more. When they came out and walked towards the car I got all excited to see them finally coming back to me... but wait! They were each holding something in their arms. They let me out of the car and I found myself besieged by two toddlerish Australian Shepard-mix (like me!) Pups. Delighted at this play date I bounced around with them, being careful and gentle with them as I could be, since they're just pups and all. I had a great time but eventually mommy and daddy had me jump back into the car and they walked away with the two little bundles of puppiness.
So I waited.
and waited.
...and waited some more...
They brought the puppies back to let me play with them again... okay... I started wondering what was going on. When I hopped back into the car only to have them walk away again I was rightly confounded. What were mommy and daddy up to?
So I waited.
and waited.
...and waited some more...
Next time mommy and daddy came back they only brought one of the puppies, the black and white one (the other had been a mix of brown, black ,grays, and white. Okay, I thought to myself, I guess I'll play with this one for a while and then we'll go home. But wait... Mommy and Daddy got into the car WITH the puppy! Daddy drove as Mommy held the puppy snuggly on her lap. What the Woof?! They were paying it so much attention... what about me? I moped in the back seat hoping they'd feel bad.
At long last we arrived back home, STILL with the puppy. Mommy took the puppy into the bathroom and I heard the water running. They staid in there for a while only to emmerge with a semi-dried off bundle of black and white. But wait... mommy wanted me to come into the bathroom with her now... okay... Blah!!! She dropped me into the big basin thing with water past my wrist joints. I got a stinky bath. Mom rubbed this smelly stuff into my fur (I suppose she used this stuff on the puppy as well, 'cause she smelled like it too), the smelly stuff made my skin tingle. After all that and Mommy dried me off I went to investigate the puppy further... was it going to stay here? My jaw dropped.
The puppy... made a huge poop... in the house! Ommigosh! I cringed for her knowing that she'd be in so much trouble from Mommy and Daddy! But wait... Daddy just scooped the puppy up and played with it while mommy cleaned the mess. No yelling. Was this a twilight zone?
Oye! But long story made shorter... as it turns out... I now have a little sister, Miyu the Beautiful Moon, Pepsi La Miyu... or just plain Miyu. What have Mommy and Daddy done?

Ommmigosh ommigosh ommigosh! There was this thin layer of stuff and under it ommigosh! I got a new chew bone and and I got... I got a WHOLE bunch of ropes and things that make squeaks that feel good in my mouth and and and goood food, I must have gained at least 5 pounds and its just wonderful! I finally met my cousins Katie (english setter mix) and Rascal (cocker spaniel) and I have a new cousin Loki a Siberian Husky! He's just six weeks old but he sure is fun to play with! I'm having such the most wonderful time and Mom and Dad seem really happy and my Grandma makes tons of great food and Uncle likes to play and Grandpa seems pretty stern but I can tell he's all good at heart.
Oh, and my older kitty sister Chacha got some presents too! She got a HUGE container of this smelly nip stuff and a stocking full of jingly balls and such as well as a fuzzy chirping toy, she seems pretty happy too! Its been a while since I've seen her so pleased and content. I hope she can stay this way!
New things have been happening here every second of everyday! I wonder what will happen next!

All these months and all I had to do was plug the computer in... thats hard to do with paws you know. Oh! But my Mommy made me new icons with actual pictures of me! Thank you Mommy!
As far as current happenings are concerned, Mommy and Daddy constructed this weird tall thing in the middle of the running around play area of the house. Its tall and has lots of things sticking out of it, sort of looks like one of those green things outside that smells a lot... only this only smells musty. In the evening they make little dots on it glow... I've never seen anything like it before. My older sister Kitty Chacha says that humans do this every year around the time of much good food. She doesn't understand why they do it either, but she sure does have fun knocking the little dangly things off of it that Mommy and Daddy put on it... I don't think they like it when Chacha does that. One of those said things I mistook for one of my toys and chewed up... I was confused! It totally looked like a chewable toy. Ah well.
Oh, and did you know that I have been a very good girl lately? Mommy and Daddy say so, and they let me stay out of my box when they're away now and I don't get yelled at when they get back. I must be doing something right! I've been enjoying my freedom of the house and Chacha is glad that I can play with her and help her groom more now.
Well, thats all I have to say for now, talk to you later!

Oh my woofness! It has been a long doggie time, I've aged several years since my last entry! A WHOLE LOT has happened and let me tell you! Not all of it good, not all of it bad. Ouuuu, it makes me want to howl to think about it. Long story short for now I guess I'm still alive and chewin', though my masters don't like it when I do that much. I can't type long (let me tell you this is very hard using one's dark wet nose!), my big sister Chacha Kitty is insisting that I window-stalk some birds with her... ah well, see yah!

It has been getting SOSOSOSOOOOO hot here. It seems like all I ever do is pant! Luckily Mommy tries to keep it cold in the house as she and Daddy fight over the thermastat. Also, mommy made these little nifty thingies, its like cold hard water cubes with yummy stuff inside them! I enjoy gnawing the tasty goodness from them and it helps to cool me down at the same time! My mommy is so smart.

Okay. Don't get freaked out now, but I heard something. Stranger type humans talking in their little human way outside my mommy and daddy's window. I woofed at them! Woof! Woof! Not too loud though 'cause I wasn't sure of the exact threat that they posed or how many of them there were, the window is too high up to see out of! I think I scared them off though 'cause I don't hear them any more. Oh I'm such the best guard dog ever. They'll think twice about returning here!

Daddy put me in my box when he and mommy went out today... but why? I've been good, I haven't chewed anything or relieved myself on the floor or annoyed the cat (too much) or anything. They have been trusting me and letting me have the roam of the house, not to mention access to the computer. I wonder why he put me in the box? Luckily he and mommy were not gone long and when they came back Mommy scolded Daddy for not giving me a toy at least in my box. Yeah daddy! How could you! To make up for it Daddy took me out back and played with me, he can be strict at times, but when he's fun, he's fun! I love my Mommy and Daddy, even if they are a little bit silly at times.
