snickers SEKURITY BULLETIN: @lexiloudog haz gone to rainbow bridge

Security_Badge Blackthe pawpawty sekurity team announces with heavy hearts that one of our own haz gone, suddenly and unexpectedly, to the rainbow bridge. for the last four months, we haz been blessed with the mad skillz of dokumentashun officer lexi-lou to keep track of all the silly anipals that tangle with sekurity during pawpawty.

tonight on twitter, lexi’s mom wrote that lexi-lou "had a lot of health problems… The stress of the vet visit today must have triggered an underlying heart problem… she suffered acute congestive heart failure and a pulmonary embolism. Rushed her to the vet around 5:00 CST… She went over RB around 6:00 CST, in my arms. My poor baby girl."

dear lexi-lou,

the sekurity team will miss you so very much. you no haz
to be fraidy or feel sicks now though. someday we will see
you at the pawpawty in the sky.

with love,
captain snickers, sergeant shawnee & the team

 
IN LOVING MEMORY OF DOKUMENTASHUN OFFICER LEXI-LOU

snickers A Thankful Giving Birthday

hi peeples! snickers here.

did you know that i was born on thanksgiving day? well, i was. my birthday is not on thanksgiving every year, but mom says she gives thanks for me every day.

this year, my birthday will be the day after thanksgiving and i will be six years old. and this year, me and mom have a special request. we are trying to help nyc shiba rescue raise some money. they had to stop taking in new doggies because of the economy (and a couple dogs with health problems – one with cancer, one with cushings). i want to help them help doggies, so this year my birthday is all about nycsr!

please click the donate button on the box in this post to go to my fund raising page at firstgiving and wish me happy birthday. even just a dollar or two will add up and if you can give more we would really REALLY like that too!

snickers pawpawty sekurity announcements and planning

october announcements

hey anipals! sekurity captain snickers here.

i haz a few sekurity announcements from october before i start the planning for november.

  • first, the ofishul sekurity report for october is posted over on documentashun officer lexi-lou’s blog. go check it out.
  • unfortunately must announce that officers frosty and dew haz been demoted back to cadet due to not reporting for duty at october pawpawty. officers frosty and dew sincerely apologize for leaving pawpawty unprotected though so haz not been removed from sekurity team
  • pawty jail bail: starting at november pawpawty if anipals are thrown in pawty jail they can pay bail to get out early. iz totally up to anipal if they pay and how much they pay, not up to sekurity officers. (this is all in fun and to raise money for animal charity after all). to pay bail, you make donation on offishul donation page for pawpawty charity and let your arresting officer know. cadets and junior officers cannot make arrests.

now, ize also want to cover one more thing before starting november skedule… why do we have pawpawty sekurity??? i think some anipals and maybe even some officers are a little confused about why we haz sekurity at pawpawty. well, i tell you the two whys.

  1. the first why is because me and mom thought it would help the pawty make more money for charity if somepals job was to tweet the donation link every now and then and also to explain to newcomers what the pawty is and help answer questions
  2. the second why is storytelling. i realized at my first pawty that anipals are super good role players and comes up with lots of fun things to do together at pawpawty. sometimes they even make up crazy shenanigans just to get sekurity involved! BOL. since pawpawty happens over 24 hours, it is fun to have report of some of the silliness for peeples and anipals to read later.
  3. those are the two big whys. it is also our job to notify @spam if some spammer or nekkid lady tweeter starts using our hashtag to get attention. we only report for real spammers, not just peeples that anipals might not like or somethin like that

there is a lot of things that sekurity is not. those are the things that sekurity is. i hopes that clears up any confusions.

POST PAWTY SEKURITY REPORT POSTED HERE

snickers a dog’s day or how i spend my day while mom works

hi peeples,

snickers here!

it has been awhile since i dictated a post for the blog (although i am always talking away over on twitter). i asked my tweeps recently what i should blog about and friend-to-all-nyc-shibas, @roxyturtle, asked "what do you do while Mom is gone for the day? Does your Mom do anything to give you activities while you’re a latchkey dog?"

i can say that in my five short years i have spent my days in many many ways! here is the bulleted version (because i dont really dictate in full sentences anyway, much less paragraphs).

  • when i came to live with mom and girl, i was only 9 or 10 weeks old. mom worked 9am to 5pm back then. for the first couple months, she walked home at lunch to play with me and walk me
  • i had lots of energy and wanted to chew EVERYTHING, so mom started taking me to doggy daycare three days a week. this helped me a lot in being a good boy at home!
  • as i got older, mom tapered off the daycare time, but then i got a dog walker who came to spend time with me every day! i haz had the best dog walkers – first bernard and then trent
  • all the time from puppyhood till now mom tries to take me for long walkies in the morning before she leaves me. this is very important because then i am happy and ready for a nap when she goes!!!
  • mom and girl adopted my sister secret and then i had company at home ALL THE TIME. i cannot recommend this more highly. all you doggies convince your peeples to get you a doggy pal. really! go do it right now
  • mom tapered the dog walking down to a couple days a week after secret came. (she says something about daycare and dog walkers being ’spensive if you do it too much… i dunno about that)
  • my sister secret moved to florida for a year and i was back to being alone all day, so moms started taking me to daycare again when trent wasnt coming over
  • then we started fostering for NYC Shiba Rescue! that was the best cz it meant i had a pal at home again. trent still came two days a week, but no daycare for me when i had a foster girl to watch over
  • then the best thing ever happened… mom quit her job and we moved to indiana. not only was she home all day but sis and girl came there from florida so we were all together again. i spent my days lounging around with mom and sis, playing in the big back yard, and then we got foster pup murphy to play with too! having mom home all the time was really pretty great
  • but then me and mom moved back to east. i am very happy to be home again, but the worst thing happened when we first got here. moms new job is ten hours a day and she left me all alone all day. sis wasnt here. no daycare. no dog walker. (cz we are in a new town.) i was so sad. when mom would come home from work, i would FREAK OUT so she would know how much i missed her and how lonelies i was all day. i was a very good boy though. i did not chew anything or do anything i shouldnt
  • luckily sis and girl got here a few weeks later so then i got to spend all my day with sis and girl while mom worked. yay!
  • Duck buried under mom's pilliowbut, wouldnt you know it, now girl is gone for the summer! mom and girl were really looking out for me and sis though. normally sis goes everywhere with girl, but this year sis stayed here with me and mom. mom is gone to work 10 hours per day but i have sis here and we keep each other company
  • mom knows leaving us here alone all day is not the greatest but i am five years old now and sis is almost nine so we are good dogs and able to hang out without getting in any trouble

so, what you think? i think girl needs to come home from summer fun soon so me and sis have more company and get our afternoon walkies back! i have mostly been good but friday i did something funny to make mom laugh and show her i dont just lie around all day. i buried my toy duck in her bed. i used to do stuff like that a lot when i was younger. funny, right?

so, mostly i play with toys, nap, shed on the couch, chew the bones that mom leaves for me, and play with my sister when i am home alone. that is how i spend my day @roxyturtle!

mom wants me to add from her the following:

  • A tired dog is a good dog, especially when they are young. Don’t leave your dog at home alone without vigorous physical and mental exercise first!
  • Bored dogs get into trouble. That’s your fault, not theirs! Give them toys. Break up the day with a dog walker! Spring for doggy daycare once or twice a week. Get your dog a friend!

snickers rachael ray’s nutrish “food raiser” campaign

hey doggies and their peeples,

i have this girlfriend schnauzer named Quincy. well, Quincy has a schnauzer friend named Pepper. Pepper’s mom has these websites about postcards. the first one is called dogfessions and mom says it is like postsecret, but for dogs! (peeple can make dogfessions too, but they have to be about dogs.) she has another website called dogvice where us dogs can send in advice for other dogs and their peeple. it is real cool. of course, you have to have your person help you because it is hard for us doggies to make postcards (NO THUMZ).

so, why am i writing about this stuff? because Pepper’s mom sent me and mom an email and asked us to tell you guys about rachael ray’s nutrish “food raiser” campaign. rachael ray’s nutrish has pledged 1 pound of dog food for each card received on dogfessions, dogvice, pugfessions/pugvice, and bullyvice/bullyfessions. The goal is to give 3 TONS of food to both Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and Sabbath Memorial Dog Rescue. to do that, they need to get 6,000 postcards from you doggies and your peeple. that’s a LOT of post cards folks!

if you have something to say (and i know you do) check out dogfessions and dogvice today and send in your postcard.

woof!

snickers Quick Status Update From Snickers

hello everybody. mom is worried that you will think we abandoned our website. we did sort of but not forever. me and mom moved again. we moved to a place near the home where we always lived before we moved to the country!!! we are really happy about that but mom has been too busy to update our website and tell all you peeple about it.

see, mom went to nyc to visit some big dog show (without me! i know, can you believe it?). when she came back to the country, she said we were moving again. we moved into a new apartment with sidewalks and stairs and everything sort of like our old apartment but in a different neighborhood. a few days ago we went back to our old ‘hood to visit and i had so much fun!!! i am really a city dog at heart. i was kinda bored living in the country.

so, that is the scoop peeples. we will be back to updating things again soon. in the meantime, i talk a lot on twitter, so you can keep up with me there. i have better luck mind-controlling mom (and my auntie kat and sometimes my girl T) to tweet for me than i do getting mom to type out whole blog entries. you can follow me on twitter here.

kisses,
snickers

snickers Fifth Birthday and Cake!

Hi all,

today was my fifth birthday. mom made a big deal of it. she said something about five being special. also, there’s thing day called Thanksgiving where the people eat together. the day I was born was Thanksgiving and this year it was Thanksgiving again. (I have no idea why it isn’t that way every year, so don’t ask me.) anyway, after all the people ate – and I had some of that, don’t worry – seeky and I got to eat a special kind of cake, just for us! I never had a cake of my own before. the top tasted like peanut butter and it was really yummy. mom was ridiculous and took pictures of us eating. she added them here at the bottom.

when your dog has a special birthday, think about treating them with doggy birthday cake. it was really yummy!

luv,
Snickers

I am being teased with a peanut butter birthday cake.
Birthday TEASE
  Why is she still making me just look at it?
Cake PLEASE?
  This peanut butter icing is delicious!
Mmmm, peanut butter!
 
Mom made me share with Secret.

snickers A Dog’s Life in the City

hello everyone,

in case you are wondering, i am writing this the way i do most things… making mom do it with Shiba mind control. she wants me to share my point of view on things. i told her ok as long as she does the work of typing it. typing on the laptop is impossible when you have paws. i told her to type the way i tell her though without editing to make it perfect. besides, jaqi said that mom agreed not to edit her posts, so i dont think she should edit mine either.

today i am thinking about how city dogs live. i lived as a puppy and most of my life in our apartment with one bedroom near Times Square (that’s in new york city, the best place to find fresh meat on the sidewalk). now i live in a big house with corn and soybean fields all around but not many people or fresh meat. (i watch the cows across the street, but they dont look so tasty.)

in new york city there are these people called tourists. theyre like regular people, but they dont seem to know where they are, they act strange and wear bright colors. i have heard tourists say things like it is cruel to have a dog in the city and a dog cant live in a small apartment. i have even heard new people (sort of like tourists but they dont go home), say i miss my dog. i gave him away when i moved here. it would have been selfish to bring him.

first, for those people who move without their dogs… if my mom moved anywhere and left me behind, i would have a broken heart. luckily, she loves me too much to ever do that.

now, for anyone who thinks dogs cant live happy in the city… you are nutty. i loved living in the city. our small apartment was great because i could see mom almost no matter where she went. now, in the house, i have to get up and follow her when she changes rooms. when we went outside, there were lots of people around to pet me and lots of fun things to do. i got to go in stores and eat at sidewalk cafes. we had dog runs that we played in. i had really close dog friends and human friends that i visited and played with a lot and a big group of shiba pals to play with too. we went for really long walks around midnight every night when the streets were quiet. mom took me to lots of places with her. i even went to the office a lot and played with mom’s work friends.

i live in the country now. we have something called a yard. it is sort of like a dog run but it is way bigger and no one visits it but us. i like it a lot because i get to chase squirrels and cats and chipmunks. mom and aunt debbie build fires and cook hotdogs sometimes, which is almost as good as scavenging street meat! i dont get to go for long walks though because mom is afraid of the dogs that are outside without humans. she is also afraid of the dark. it gets dark here at night, so we cant take our long bedtime walks like we used to. i dont like that we have to get in the car and drive to go to a real dog park to play. i do have a small group of shiba pals here and we go hiking, which is fun. mom says ize healthier here from clean air and my fur is cleaner too. my skin itches right now though; our nice new vet said that’s from something called ragweed and it will go away soon. something i dont like about the country is that people dont take their dogs many places here so i cant go in the stores and stuff. mom says i probably cant go to work with her when she starts working again either.

anyway, i am saying that i would be happy living anywhere with my mom and the two places i have lived both have good and bad things about them for dogs. i hope i get to live in other places. as long as mom is there and we are doing stuff together, i will be happy. i think most dogs who love their humans probably feel the same way, so dont move without your dog. and dont say it’s mean to have a dog in the city. city dogs live great lives!

thats all for now,
snickers
