Well, I don’t know what to say. The Rock Star Dog, really is living up to his name sake. Now, he’s starting his own blog, but I don’t think he’ll be near as funny as I am! The Mom person, she says, he’s always jumping in her lap while she’s working and putting his paws on the keyboard, so he must be ready to venture into the world of blogging. Good luck with that, sucker, I mean rocker.

I was contacted by a classmate, on Wednesday, via my facebook account, regarding this girl. One of her coworkers niece is missing. She is 16 years old, this is her picture. She has been missing from Sevier Co, Tennessee, since July 24, 2009. Please pass this information along to everyone you know and help bring this beautiful little girl home to her family. - Thanks & Endless Tail wags, Kim Burford

That little Rock Star Mutt and Rescue Mutt tried to run away

July 28, 2009

The Mommy person says, the little dogs think she should take up running, in her pajamas and while barefoot. The other morning, she looked out the window and noticed the Little Rock Star Dog, David Bowie, was in the neighbors driveway. He slipped under a spot in the fence. She went to get him and he ran, ran, ran. She ran two blocks chasing him. He was zippy fast. He finally stopped when he saw some other dogs. The lady with those dogs recognized him. She had fostered him before. Just like a rock star, he gets around, and has many groupies.  Mommy says, he’s just like a rock star in another way, he lifts his leg and pees wherever he likes! So far though, he hasn’t broken any furniture, just left his mark. Like his name sake, he likes the ladies shoes. He’s always playing with my Jimmy Chews and Manalo Barkniks. Now that I think about it, he likes hand bags too! If it squeaks, he’s on it!

The little rescue mutt, Ryder, he escaped too. While Mommy was chasing the David Bowie Dog, he got out of the fence, but he didn’t go very far. I don’t think he realized he was out. I’m not so sure of his ’smarts’! He did figure out how to get into the pantry. He found some crackers and shared them with us. *Wink* I’m glad he’s around though, now I can get away with SO MUCH MORE, because the Mommy person thinks it’s him.  BOL.

Away from my day job as Chief Barker, Toy Tester and Marketing Director, here at BarkworthyBargains.com, I like to blog. Yesterday, I got a new snazzy collar. The Mommy person, she’s selling them. I stole mine! You should see the one the rocker dog snagged. We love swag! I’m taking over this operation, well at least for today. I’m off to bark at the rescue mutt and rock star dog. They’re SO annoying. Get your bark on and tail wags to you all. Oh, I almost forgot, today’s bargain: One of the snazzy leather collars I stole. Don’t worry, yours will be new, and if the puppy gets a hold of it, slightly chewed! BOL! Mommy said, “That’s NOT funny and no chewed collars leave the house!” FYI, for those of you ‘not in the know,’ BOL=Bark Out Loud!

Today started out adventurous. Mommy chased the little black rescue mutt around the yard. He’d taken a roll of paper towels outside. I don’t know how he got a hold of them. If I knew how to wink, I would do so now. I sure can’t wait until he can reach the top of the counter all by himself. I’m really tired of being associated with his shenanigans. BOL. 

We didn’t go on a hike today, Mommy has a cold, but her fever is gone. Good thing, she’s been really grumpy when we act naughty. I told her, I need my exercise! She told me, “I better behave,” and mentioned something about that dog house again.

Monumental Day

July 8, 2009

by Miss Chilly Dog

The Mutt Puppy, Ryder, learned to hike his leg when he goes potty. Well, he did it once. Mommy was hoping he’d continue to go like a girl. I say that little Rocker Dog, David Bowie, taught him how to do that. It sure wasn’t me! The Mommy person is always telling the Rocker Dog, to go somewhere else. He likes to piddle on the deck furniture. Boys!

Bloat/Torsion—Gastric Dilitation-Volvulous (GDV)

July 6, 2009

Yesterday was a spooky day for me. I had to go to the emergency vet because my tummy bloated. Lucky for me, my Mommy recognized the signs, fed me some Gas-X and rushed me to the vet. They took Xrays of my belly and it was full of gas. They told Mommy it should be under my rib cage, but it was poking out past it. Thank goodness my tummy didn’t flip, that would have been really bad. The following link is about bloat in dogs and the dangers. Please read and share with all your big anipals.

How did I go from be a single child to this?

July 1, 2009

by Miss Chilly Dog

Well, it’s official! The Mommy person adopted the Rock Star Doggie, David Bowie. If I could figure out how to use scissors, I’d cut his mohawk off, then let’s see how cute she thinks he is! He’s really not so bad. Actually, he’s very mellow. Mom says he’s a purse puppy. Glad I don’t fit in her purse, I’ve seen what’s in it! There isn’t much room for anything else.

We’ve been super busy trying to potty train that little, naughty mutt! Notice he has the naughty title now? I think I’m free! Ha, who am I kidding? As long as I can swipe stuff off the counters, I’ll be naughty, too! We had some company too. They kept Mommy busy! It was my “Aunt” Pamela. I was so happy to see her! Then I was mad because I thought for sure she’d take those other dogs with her when she left! NOPE, they’re still here.

Yesterday, the little mutt, he destroyed three rolls of toilet paper, and pooped on the floor next to one of the shredded piles. I’m sure it made since to him. He also dug up some of the Mommy persons flowers. That was funny, well at least I thought so! He was covered in dirt! So, you know what that means? He had to take a bath. Now, that’s FUNNY!

I’ll have more stories in a bit. It’s puppy nap time, I’m going to go take a nap on my new Dog Duvet. The little mutt got my old one!

I think the Rock Star Doggie knows how to blog, he can sit in the Mommy person’s lap and he puts his paws on the computer. He better watch it! I have the tonnage law, I’m bigger, I’ll knock that mohawk right off his “cute” little head!

Oodles of Poodles

June 25, 2009

by Miss Chilly Dog

We’re so lucky, we were able to foster one of the little poodles! He’s a little black male.

Poodle Rescue, one of 75!

Update: We only had the little guy for two hours, when we received a phone call from the shelter and someone was there wanting to adopt him. We took him back to the shelter and a lovely lady, Barbara and her adopted daughter, Mosha, took the little man home. They think they’ll name in Max. He’s going to live on a 45 acre ranch with llama, horses, and two other wonderful dogs! We’re so happy for this ending. We’re barking with joy!

Who is this? Meet David Bowie. He’s a yorkie-chihuahua mix. He’s beyond cute. Mommy brought him home, to foster. He’s got a lot of spunk and one cool mohawk! I’m not sure if the Mom will be able to return him. We may need an intervention. What happened to me being the only child? Now there are three. Better put my big girl collar on, ’cause I’ve got some lessons to teach.

David Bowie, "Foster" Dog

My name is TROUBLE

June 20, 2009

by Miss Chilly Dog

The Mommy person went to let the neighbor’s cat out. Guess what I did? I found a box of pre-packaged cookies. Come to find out, she’d purchased them to sell, not for me and the naughty mutt to eat. How was I supposed to know? Y’all won’t be getting a chance to buy any, ’cause I ate all but two! They were super good, so I couldn’t stop. Mommy says I’m a binge eater, closet cookie monster! Sorry you all missed out, but I’m happy as a clam, lobster! Here’s what you’re NOT getting! BOL
