Wow I haven't written in here in a few days. Mom's been busy online today trying to find out how to get grandma's new MP3 player to work on her computer. She's not having a good time. Well I found out Tilly is improving even more since she's been home. I'm telling you man nothing like being home with your family. Mine by the way had left alone today for a few hours while they all went to the mall. Dad said it was interesting going out with the girls. Wouldn't know dad you left me behind. Mom's been also online looking for her cousins wedding registry at the places she was told they were at. They're getting married on October 21, 2006 and what do you know I wasn't invited. I could have and would have gotten a tux for the occasion. I would have been perfectly happy being dressed up for some filet mignon. Geez I guess I'm not important enough. That's ok I hear Moto isn't invited to his own parents wedding. Man I'm sorry my cousin I won't even ask what happened there.
I'm happy to report that Sammy is getting along much better with his new furbuddy Max which apparently is his name finally. That's terrific guys good luck!
Oh I want some more prayers(demanding little man aren't I?) Mackie my friend's aunt Michelle got burnt the other day while sitting on her porch chatting away on the phone by a firecracker that someone set off. Well if you thought that was the worst part you're wrong she got treated very poorly by the cops and emt's that were there to help her. Geez mom says don't send them to help her she'd rather just sit there hurt if that was the "help" they were going to offer her. So I hope Aunt Michelle will get better fast and get them guys a good slap on the wrist to say the least. Maybe she should have Mackie come over for some kisses mom says mine always make her feel better.
Mom and grandma bought me a cool new toy at my favorite toy shop in New Paltz NY it's called paws of distinction and wow they have some cool stuff there too. My buddy Tessa wasn't in that day her mom wasn't feeling well so I got to sit on her couch and just hang out until these two guys came in and asked me to test out this squeaky toy they were gonna buy for their yorkie. Oh while I was there I even got my picture taken. Mom's trying to get a copy of the picture for my blog. Their pawsome website is www.pawsofdistinction.net I highly suggest dropping by and checking out their goods I say try out their biscuits since they are yummy.
Mom says she is impressed by said toy because they bought it on Saturday and it being Tuesday it has lasted this long. I think that was a shot at me I'm not sure though.
Well, I'm gonna get going I wanna go chew on that toy some more. Hope everyone is doing well out there.
Wirey hugs,
Ozzy

Terrierific News on Tilly
Hey all just wanted to let you know Tilly is home and doing good. I have read that she is even walking with some help even stumbling and getting a bit exhausted but her mom Brenda said compared to 10 days ago that's PERFECT almost. Mom is a little choked up at the good news but hey I don't blame her one bit I am too.
Tilly even ate a bit on her own if she does that a few more times they say that feeding tube will come out. She even drank water when the vet said you had to force water her.
Her son Robbie is going bonkers (like a true terrier) 'cuz his mum is home finally.
Tilly my friend keep up the good work and we'll keep up them prayers and good thoughts!!
Wirey hugs, dances and kisses!
Ozzy
PS
I'm 9 months old as of yesterday!! Woohoo go me!

Hey guys!
I just wanted to do a quick post to say that my friend Tilly is doing much better and so far is scheduled to go home on Thursday if she keeps up her terrier-tude and doing as well as she has been doing since seeing her mum and son on Sunday.
I really wanted to thank everyone for praying for my friend and keeping her in your thoughts. It amazes mom and me how we all bond together in times like this to make sure one of us dogs gets better. OK I'm done being serious now. I'll post more later or tomorrow.
Take care and have fun!
Wirey kisses,
Ozzy

I've been tagged by Fee!
This is me on my recent car ride with mom and dad to Petsmart. I got a new goose that lasted about 30 minutes. Man that bad boy tasted so good and oh the noise it made was awesome. Mom and dad were impressed with my destruction skills.
Looks like I’ve been tagged by Fee! You don’t know what that means? Well apparently, its kind of a confessional. You tell everyone five five weird things you've done/five weird habits of yours and then you tag five more people, and so on and so on.So five weird things about me, or that I’ve done ….I can’t even imagine, mom says I’m perfect. Okay, I confess:
1. I like to bark it is the one thing I do well since I bark at whatever I think I need to bark at. Even if there is nothing there.
2. Well I must confess I love eatting salads with my mom they taste delish and I hear it is good for me.
3. I like to watch any animal show the animal planet is my favorite thing to watch or the dog whisperer.
4. I really don't like the dog Oreo that plays with me. I just play with him to see how much I can beat him up.
5. I really love burying things in the backyard even if I dig it up a minute later and eat it again.
Now I gotta tag 5 people so I'm hoping I don't re tag someone here goes. . . . . I tag Cyrus, Zach, Tinkerbelle, Bogart, and Sammy.
Have fun my friends!
Wirey hugs,
Ozzy
Good news on my friend Tilly
OK I'm showing you Tilly's mums email to mom's group. Mom teared right up hearing this good news.

Subject: Tilly Update
We went to see Tilly on Sunday afternoon. The good news is that if she continues to feed through the tube ok we can bring her home Thursday afternoon. There is no treatment for what she has , just dedicated nursing care. 60 – 70 % recover apparently. She has Distal denervating disease.
When we went in she wagged her tail and Robbie went berserk jumping up and down and barking. When he’d calmed down he lay beside her and they licked each other’s faces. It was so sweet. She didn’t look very pretty as they’d shaved her neck. She had her paw bandaged where the drip was and a tube in her side. She had a stretchy net vest on. She’s had some food through the tube and luckily hadn’t been sick. Over the next few days they are going to increase it to the full daily amount. She was quite bright, lifting her head and looking around. She growled when another dog barked outside the room. Her growl sounded normal to me. I couldn’t get her to bark – remember her bark had gone all squeaky and her growl. We put her on her peanut and gave her some physio. She also sat for about 1 minute, but her front legs were in front of her, not the usual upright wire position. We were there an hour and a half and she seemed to tire very quickly. She is still biting ! I left her two favourite toys for her, just so she felt a bit more at home.
When we go in Thrusday they are going to show us how to feed her through the tube. The drip will have been removed as she will get her liquid from the food. We have to try and get her to eat solid foot.
Thankfully it isn’t hereditary and if a dog gets better they never get it again.
If anyone finds anything else, or maybe even some homepathic cure, please let me know.
Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes.

Update on Tilly
This is the latest as of this am from Tilly's mom. Please keep Tilly and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Also the doctors who are taking care of her so that they may find out what is wrong with that sweet girl.
We came home from Bristol a very miserable crew having had to leave Tilly there. The vet had tested all her reactions and was baffled. She said they do not match up with each other. I will not say what she said at that time as it is out of date, but what she told me when she rang that night with an update.
It was nothing to do with the fall that caused her to fall over. That was just coincidental. She was worse that evening, more floppy. It seems that her motor nerves are being affected, not her sensory nerves. They are worried it may affect her respiratory system and she would then die. The have put her on a drip as although she tried to lap water she didn’t swallow it. Today, if she lives they are going to put a tube into her stomach as she will not eat. She has some sort of toxin. If it is a homeopathic one 70 % get worse for ten days then recover. She still has some fight in her – she tried to bite them ! That’s my girl. (I’m crying)
Tomorrow she will have an MRI scan.
They asked if she’d eaten a dead animal. The only one I know of is when she had a (stinking) dead rat in her mouth to bring into the puppies near the end of May. I took this off her.
Apparently a blood test showed she had abnormally high levels of fat in her blood. I cannot understand this. She has Pedigree Complete and Butchers wet food, table scraps, smackos as treats and pigs ears. The vet said these would not have caused these levels.
Several vets have looked at her. Today the are going to knock her out and test her muscles.
She and Robbie have been together all the time. I am worried sick about him now.

The vet rang last night and said that Tilly had had a good day.She was no worse and maybe even a little better.Her breathing was fine. They have done more blood tests which will take a week to come back.They have had her standing on a peanut. We think this is a peanut shaped frame that supports her belly so she can stand. This is to stop her getting bedsores and also pneumonia from lying down all the time. We are going to go and visit her this Sunday. She can still stand on her own for a short time.
Today they will knock her out and test the muscles and nerves in her legs. From this they can tell if she has any spinal damage - discs, spinal cord. If she has she will have an MRI scan.
I asked about the incubation period if she'd eaten something and she said that they had dismissed this idea now and this wasn't the cause. They still do not know what the cause is. I just hope that all of it is reversible.

[wirefoxterrier] Tilly Update
The last three days no change maybe be marginally better but hard to say. No worse anyway. Yesterday they tested her spinal fluid which is fine. When testing her muscles with needles (?) they were all abnormal - better near her spine and worse near her paws. Whilst she was out they put a tube in her stomach to feed her. She is on a drip. They turn her every four hours and in the afternoon she is taken out onto the physio ball (board?) where she can stand and is supported so she doesn't fall over. All tests so far have come back negative - ticks, etc. At first they thought it was botulism, but this has been ruled out.
Thye now say it is idiopathic disdordinvating (phonetic spelling !) or did she say disco-ordinating ? I asked her what her gut feeling was and she said hopeful. Her breathing is fine and she was very very grumpy today, biting - that's my girl ! They have had dogs before in with it and 60 - 70 % recover after 3 - 4 weeks like this.
We are going up tomorrow to see her. Apparently it was nothing to do with the jumping out, that was just coincidence. At least she is in the best place in the country.
Robbie is missing her terribly. Please pray for her everyone.

Prayers for Tilly
OK guys I don't normally write this soon or ask for anything really. But a new mommy wire was out with her humans and wirey son this past weekend and she hurt herself. Her mom Brenda says that "Tilly had a fall on holiday by jumping out of her pen where we put her with Robbie while we unpacked the caravan. She has never done this before. We didn't see what happened. She seemd ok for a couple of days except she couldn't jump on the bed which we put down to stiffness. She walked fine on her lead. Sunday morning she didn't want to walk so we carried her as it was very very hot. Monday morning she kept falling over. We rang our vet and went there when we got home that afternoon. He thought it was severe bruising of the nerves in her neck and gave her anti- inflamatory injection and a tablet for later.I had to take her back this morning. She cannot bark, only squeak. This morning she cannot walk at all and just falls over. She seems to be in no pain at all. I took her to the vet this morning and she had x-rays and neurological tests. The vet said I need to take her to Bristol University Veterinary College tomorrow for 9.30am. This is over 3 hours aways so we are going tonight. Robbie cannot understand what has happened to mum." I'm asking you guys to put Tilly and her family in your thoughts and prayers to help them find out what is wrong with her and for them to make her all better. Also for them to have a safe trip to the vet's office it is a 3 hour drive one way. Man Tilly is one lucky lady to have a mom who loves her so so much. Mom told me that Tilly had pups when she joined the WFT Yahoo list back in March (probably a short time after she joined) and that Tilly now lives with her son Robbie who is beside himself with worry over his mommy as you've just read. I can't imagine how he feels I'd be nuts if my mommy wasn't feeling too hot. OK so that's my request from all of my friends out there to please please please pray for Tilly and her family!
Thanks so much,
Ozzy

figured if I copied what she wrote it would make better sense to all that were reading it.

Hey all!
Mom finally got off of the computer long enough for me to type away.
Well this weekend wasn't too bad nor was it extremely hot. Made my walk with my friends even more fun. We ran into my buddy Barron and he and I chased each other around along with my new bud Gus. What a blast we all had running around on the sandy beach and we all swam in the gorgeous Hudson River we didn't see the alleged manatee that has ventured up to my neck of the woods. Man we would have asked him or her to play with us. This was my first time swimming and wow I see what mom is always talking about how she loves swimming all the time. Too bad her pool doesn't allow us pups I'd ask to go along with her. Dad said he had some fun watching us dogs play and to go for the hike with mom and me.
Well I got to listen to my buddy Jesse's story about me. Jesse you see is my buddy who is five years old we do that walk together and is owned by his dog Shayna. Well he has come up with these ideas I guess you can call them about me doing a flip off of a diving board and swimming in the swimming pool. Well Jesse has got some ideas and is quite the creative guy. He even has me swimming across the river and then after the swim across the river I'm getting on the motor boat driving it. Man I like this kid's ideas. He also has me sky diving out of the sky(mom is not sure out of what he didn't say) and jumping into the river. Jesse is quite an awesome kid and mom likes him for his imagination and you know so do I. Man I never knew I was such an adventurous pup!
I wanted to bring up something that I am enjoying doing with this one web page that I belong to that is all about dogs with blogs. Well it is called Paws it Forward. We're to pick five dogs whom we don't know and stop by and say hello to them on their blog. I thought this was a great idea to get us out of our shells and go meet new dogs. Terrific idea Opy and company.
Well dad's working tonight and he had to work this weekend something about mandatory overtime which stinks because we didn't get to hang out at all this weekend like we usually do. I miss my dad when he's busy working. Mom had me outside on my lead for most of the day enjoying the sunshine and warm air. Way better than last week. It's supposed to be cool tomorrow night and man I can't wait. No a/c and even an early morning walk.
Well I wanted to say thanks to all that have been stopping by and leaving me messages. I enjoy making all of the new friends I've made with this blog and wished all of you lived closer for us to play together!
Stay cool and enjoy yourselves.
Wirey hugs,
Ozzy

Wow I can't believe it's already August. Time sure flies when you're having fun. In about 2 weeks I will be 9 whole months. They better start planning my birthday party. I'll be a whole year old. Grandma bought me a brand new t-shirt at Target today. Mom says that she'll have to get some pictures taken of me.
Well I'm having a blast I found out on this list mom belongs to that's all about terrier's on MSN has made me breed and dog of the month. Wow I get a month all to my own!
I've been making new friends here in the blogging land. I have made a friend named Buster who lives in Jupiter FL which is where my dad is from. Well, actually dads from Florida not Jupiter. Buster has his own blog on here this is a link to his blog. http://foxterrorist.blogspot.com/ Feel free to go take a peak if you haven't already done so. Then there is my newest pal Sammy he's a young pup who's looking to get a brother who's a puggle. I'm not sure if I know what a puggle is or that I would want a brother or a sister. This is Sammy's blog link go visit the young guy he deserves it. http://www.sammyswftworld.blogspot.com/ Mom says she's going to have to learn how to add links to their sites on our site so that way if you visit me you can visit them more easily.
Oh my friend's Butchy and Snickers I'm sure I've mentioned them previously well their mom Linda has started her store with their friend Ladybugs mom. I highly recommed checking out that site too. Us wires have to stick together and support each other so we can get more treats and goodies which is what their moms have promised them with that extra money. Here's the link http://auctions.yahoo.com/user/snitchybugdogdesigns.
Well tomorrow is the day of our now weekly dog walks. Dad is going with us and man I can't wait he gets to watch me have a blast in the river with the other dogs.
Maybe I will get one of my parents to take some pictures for me to share with all of you.
Well I'm cutting this short since it's dad's only night off and I need to go beat him up. Have a grrreat weekend.
Ozzy the terror =)

Wow did I have a blast this weekend. I got to do so much stuff and meet new pups and friends(human types) I can't believe I had such an eventful weekend.Yesterday I got extra time playing with the hose! Mom said with the weather being so darn hot I deserved more time under the hose. You won't hear any complaints from me.
So then we went to Mills Mansion on Sunday. You might recall me mentioning it in one of my earlier posts. Well we did the whole dog walk thing. Oh that was awesome I made some new friends and one of these days mom says we'll have to take some pictures to share with everyone.
I met a puppy named Gulliver there that was younger than me and bigger than me. Well we walked through these woods and while the other dogs were off leash mom just kept looking at me saying I'm sorry sweetie I'm afraid you'd run away. I might I'm not even sure. Well I walked with this German Shephard named Punto. We then ended up at the river. Oh that was a blast I jumped through the water nose dived too! I met up with this Chocolate Lab named Baron he is my age and we had a blast chasing his ball and jumping through the water. I met a puppy named Gulliver there that was younger than me and bigger than me. Wow Gulliver is a Giant Schnauzer. He had this weird obsession of grabbing my leash and chewing on it. While we were at the river and I was playing in the water he grabbed it and mom finally had had it and took my leash out of his mouth. Thanks mom. I even got to play with this little boy named Jesse he was there with his mom and their dog Shayna. I guess mom said we'll be going back next week which is great because it was great for me and for mom. Mom did get me home and bathe me because I smelt like the river and I was sandy. That was cool because the bath felt good and then afterward we got upstairs and took a nice nap.
I have included a few pictures for you all to view.
This one is me in the bed in the bag mom and dad bought for the new bed. They didn't really think I was going to let them make the bed without any help from me did they?
Now this is of me and my grandma this is how I usually sit in the chair with her or mom. But I'm usually am right behind them. Mom said she tried to get rid of the red eye but just couldn't make it happen. Well this week's going to be a scorcher and that means yep more hose time! She hopes grandma and daddy will be cool at work. I hope so too and I hope all of my friends out there will stay cool too and get plenty of water. Take care.
Wirey hugs,
Ozzy

Well I am back and badder than ever! LOL no let me stop. Mom and grandma though want to muzzle me for barking so much today. Man don't they know that's my job? Mom took me for a walk just a little while ago and we met up with my buddy Oreo along with his girlfriend Neela along with the cute Bichon Frise bitch next door named Zoe she's my age and plays just as rough and tough as me. We're all trying to plan now a way to meet up for all of us to play while our owners just hang out and talk. Aw man this could be love.
I found out today that I got hooked up with http://www.dogswithblogs.com.au/. I've joined quite a few of my other wirey pals in the great world web that can make us all famous. Now on to one of my favorite organizations to support the SPCA in our area is having it's petswalk in Bowdoin Park on September 9, 2006. Mom says we are there. She loves taking me to things like this and letting me meet other dogs not to mention it is for a good cause and I get to hook up with other pups. http://www.pawsintheparkpetwalk.com/. There's the link if you are a local and want to join us in something fun and helpful. Mom's happy because Dad's off for this walk since he was off for the Pets walk against cancer we did back in May. That was a BLAST we got a ton of goodies and I met a bunch of other pups. Not to mention it was after my cut so I was looking like quite the handsome pup. Got the compliments to prove it too.
I wanted to say that I am glad to hear that my buddy Pippin is finally going to start feeling better. Mom Pat found out that he had Guardia(I don't even wanna know since mom said Pip would be on a bunch of antibiotics for a while). So Pippin shall be feeling better very soon. Paws crossed!
Well folks I must go dad is mentioning something about going into the snack drawer. Yippee!
Stay cool.

Hello my friends,
Well, I am posting today after taking a few days off. Mom and Dad took me to this new place today called the Mills Mansion well they told me now it's actually called Staatsburgh. Mom says when she was growing up it was called Mills Mansion after this rich couple by the last name of Mills. Well we went down to the gorgeous Hudson River and I got to swim in it and drink from it. Then we went towards the gardens which looked like my backyard lawn. When mom and dad heard this deep growl from deep in the forest. Mom made dad leave because she swears it sounded like a bear. Mom found out just now from Grandma that they have spotted a bear just a few miles away. Oh man do bears spray like those nasty skunks? Mom had assured me they don't spray but would have tried to eat me! Ha!! I laugh at anyone that thinks they can eat me!
Well I joined a few others on the blogging world and signed myself up for http://www.dogswithblogs.com.au/ I couldn't resist. I'm an ego fiend and love making new friends. Speaking of new friends. . . mom took me for a walk yesterday afternoon since it was soo nice and not yucky out like it has been and I met up with my buddy Oreo. While walking with my bud I met this gorgeous bitch named Neela(I'm not sure if that's how she spells her name) she is a rescued greyhound and she lives with her sweet mommy Elena(mom's not sure if she spelled that right for me either). Her mom offered to let me run around with her so apparently we can tire each other out. Man does she not know how much energy I have. Mom has been checking out my back paw and it's a bit sore I will admit this but I don't believe she needs to keep prodding at it nor do I want to go see the doctor. She did mention something about letting grandma look at it. Man she's relentless. I wanted to wish a belated happy 4th birthday to my friend Snickers. Her mom had a birthday party and made her a cake. I have to wonder since I will be hitting a year old in November will I be getting a cake wonder if mom knows how to bake a cake just for puppies like me? I sure hope so. I wanted to say to my buddy Axel man stop biting I know I know easier said than done but then again it is a good excuse to get a new chew toy. I will have to keep that trick in mind. I do hope you feel better pal. Mom says that lotion the vet gave you guys sounds scary. Might make you sick? She says WTF?! Oh to my sweetie Fee get your butt online more and post! I also hope her parents are posting enough to give me a good read. Also to my friend Pip who is having a bit of a flatulence problem(hehehe gas what's wrong with that?!) I hope you feel better mom said something about you having a few other problems that she said were not to be mentioned on my blog.
My dear Grandmother walked me this AM and she said I looked so pathetic with my body stretching and then I had to wipe the sleepers from my eyes. Well she would too if she slept in my mom and dads new comfy bed. She's gotta know by now I am not a morning pup! Oh and pathetic? How is that the nice way to describe your favorite grandson?
Well I better get going since I need to get walked and fed. Hope all of you are doing well.
I think when grams gets home I will be hiding myself and my paw so she won't play doctor with me.
Your pal,
Ozzy

Hey guys,
I figured I'd post while my parents are cleaning the room and doing laundry.
Mom's too happy with this new bed. I gotta admit the jump might be higher but oh so worth it. Did I tell you how mom signed me up on Dogster.com? Well she did and then she had the nerve to put the cat on catster.com also. Well Desiree ends up getting more friends on there than I. Can you believe the feline has more friends than moi? What gives? Well mom proceeds to brag about how Desiree has more buddies than the puppy. Yes that's me and how her and grandma think its funny! What gives?! I figured I'd post a picture of her so you can see the evil cat that tortures me and attacks me.
Mom says I should be nice to hear before she lived with us she lived in a one room house with over 200 cats and dogs. Can you believe having to suffer like that? Sharing a bed and your food with someone else?! I would not go for that.
Dad's having problems with the remote and mom says he's too cheap to break down and buy a new one even though it changes the channels without anyone touching it. Oh yeah that was a fun night with that little dispute going in full blast. Oh before I forget I wanted to wish Axels' mommy a happy belated birthday. Hope she got everything she wanted for her birthday.
OK now with that done mom says I need to get off of here so they can take me for a walk. Hope all are well and cool enough. Take care!
Hugs,
Ozzy

Hello Everyone,
I am going to appologize for my lack of posts this week. I've been rather busy being bathed far too many times. I don't get the obsession that has come over the mad woman formerly known as my mother. She has taken it upon herself to bath me every other day at least. She says she is tired of smelling me. She should be the offended and smel myself I know I stink but man does it have to be a bath? Dad got smart and hid upstairs mom calls him a wimp. Grandma was around for this latest assault on me and she ran upstairs too. Mom says she's surrounded by wimps. I don't think they are wimps I think they're smart. I'd rather not be bathed either. I was forced inside for yet another day due to this unsufferable heat. Mom did take me to the ball field this morning so I could run and sniff whatever I felt like. We did meet up with my buddy Tucker. We played around the ball field with his owner spraying the hose. I got to play my favorite game in the whole wide world chase me while I run with the ball. Ha I am still the champion! Then tonight while mom and I were doing a walk I ran into my buddy Oreo. I think I'm in a bit of trouble with mom since she kept saying "play nice". Man I can't help it Oreo taught me to play rough and I am a puppy and I like to play rough. I got a sinking feeling that I will be not playing with Oreo too much this week. She's worried I might hurt Oreo. I wouldn't do it intentionally. Ah well Dad's off tomorrow night so I'll be getting spoiled and I heard mom mention something about a new bed coming tomorrow and that I'm not allowed to pee on it. My mom sure does have alot of rules. OK guys I'm gonna go I heard something about a treat for me. Take care and keep cool if it's possible.
Oh I forgot to mention mom signed me up for dogster here's my link http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=347053&j=t. I hope it works otherwise it is www.dogster.com and my number is 347053. Hope to see you there!
Keep cool,

I can not believe the evilness that exists in this world!
I'm cross posting without permission but I'm sure the person that posted would not have a problem with it since it is helping out other dogs from a puppy mill. I will not however post the atrocities that have happened but include a link to this person's dogs blog for you to read. I'll have that much sensitivity. If I had the money I'd give but I will pray for any and all help these people will need in the coming weeks.

I've been shot!
OMG I was shot yesterday by this foul smelling animal. I've learned that it is called a skunk. Mom and Dad were going balistic because it was going at me and I was trying to attack it and run away from it at the same time. Man get sprayed in the face by that bad boy and you'd run too. Dad and I were in the back playing when the foul vermin walked right by dad and he ran the other way so that it wouldn't go after me. Doesn't think to mention to my mom that there was a skunk around or she swears she would have grabbed me and ran. Well needless to say I was shaking like a weirdo and going crazy because he got my face and maybe some of my eyes. Well next thing you know it's going back in the backyard again and mom and dad are on the porch yelling for me well man I wanted to get my teeth on that bastard for spraying that foul smell in my face. Finally mom and dad distracted it and dad grabbed me. We got to the porch and the horrors continued. I got not one bath but 3. What the hell! I shouldn't be subjected to such abuse when I was the victim in all of this. Mom went out without me comes back and she informs me that I am getting my 3rd bath for the night. Jeez!
Well getting sprayed does have it's advantages. I got some new treats and a new collar because mine is wrecked. I hear there are a few more baths in my future with that fancy stuff mom has found works. Oh Great! Well time to get moving I wanna go get something to eat and push this sympathy card as much and as long as possible.
Not so smelly,
Ozzy

Good Evening Everyone,
I figured I'd take some time out to post since mom's watching TV and grandma is downstairs talking to great grandma.
It was a nice day today mom and dad took me to the ball field and played with me. Man that was a blast. We went yesterday too and I met this lucky Pit Bull Terrier named Smokey. Smokey's a cool guy he'd just been rescued 2 days ago from the local shelter by his new dad. He seemed like a real friendly guy unfortunately he couldn't play because he'd just been altered. Smart move on his owners part. Don't need any unnecessary births. So hopefully Smokey will be around more for me to play with. Good Luck Smokey in your new home. Mom got a little choked up seeing a dog get what she hopes and seemed like a happy better home. She said she wants to download a picture of me and grandma on the computer chair but she's gotta see how it turned out since I decided to move right when she was getting ready to snap the picture. Man what's a guy to do don't they have enough pictures of me on this computer? So not much more going on. Hope everyone is doing well. Speaking of doing well, I'm glad to see my buddy Mackie is going to start feeling better seems he was feeling a bit under the weather and his mom Melissa took him to the vet and it was just a upper respitory infection of some kind. Feel better soon buddy.
Your pal,
Ozzy

Good Morning All,
Sorry it's been a while since the last time I wrote but mom and dad have been busy and grandma doesn't let me online to post on my blog. You'll see I've posted a couple of new pictures of my new do. Well the one is me and Dad down at the park watching the hot air balloon land. Man those things are awesome to watch and I wanted to ride in one but mom said they don't allow rides and plus she'd be afraid I'd jump out after something. Well only if it was a bug I'd jump. Mom and Dad went to New London, CT to watch these awesome fireworks last night. Mom's a bit upset because she checked their website and it said no dogs please. Well she got there and she said that there were enough dogs there that next year I'm going. Apparently as she was getting ready to go these fireworks are done by some family named Grucci. I don't care as long as they had fun. Hmm not with me though. OK all I'm going to get myself moving along and go spend some time in the sun with mom. Hope you all have a great weekend and talk to you soon.

Hello All,
Well I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days but I've been a busy pup.
Well first let me tell you about my friend Fee. She's written a whole post about me on her blog.
I am so flattered and impressed that dogs in Singapore are writing about me. Wow I'm such a lucky dog! Well I just wanted to mention to Miss Fee that I am not a baby even if she is a whole 2 days older than me! That's just wrong. As for her parents not giving her enough treats man that's not nice. Oh by the way my friends I love the whole photo shoot idea. How much fun that had to be.
OK now onto my buddy Axel you have to remember I mentioned him in previous posts. Well him and his parents went to the beach and NJ. Apparently they stopped off in a town called Ocean City NJ and they were going to go to a local dog park to let him play and apparently it was a resident only dog park. Hmm what's up with that? Aren't you guys trying to base your economy on tourism? Well guess what Ocean City you guys suck! I am agreeing with Axel and his folks. The least you guys could have done was made it available to tourist dogs like my buddy Axel. I'm sure not going to let mom and dad take me to Ocean City. It doesn't even sound like a fun place to visit let alone being biased towards us canine tourists.
Now onto my day today. I got to go visit my friend Donna at Shampooch. She got to spend the whole day with me. Isn't she a lucky lady? I know I would think so. She shaved me down trimmed my nails and trimmed me up. Man I am one handsome looking boy!
Mom took pictures of me to share with everyone and told me that if I don't post 'em on my blog she'd sneak online while I was asleep or out and post 'em for me. Man she does NOT play fair!
She did say she'd get better pictures taken of me in a few days she's gotta get dad to get new batteries for the camera.
So I'm gonna post a couple of pictures of me and my cool new do. So here you go enjoy. I tried to post this earlier and it went poof. I'm blaming the cat since she was in my room and near the pc. I'm sure she was trying to ruin my fame in blog land.
