			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first came to Mommis, I iked to sleep under her bed. She thought that was cold and dirty, so she bought me a bed. I never much liked the bed. But now Monti thinks it&#8217;s his. Every day he takes his nap on my old bed, and while I sleep on the floor. Jerry and Jamie think Monti is their dog, but I happen to know Monti is our dog. He&#8217;s just always around. There he is on my bed, and look at him up on Mommis&#8217; bed. He&#8217;s becoming a good friend of mine.<a href="http://francinehardaway.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/img_0686.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-179" title="On Mommis' Bed" src="http://francinehardaway.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/img_0686.jpg?w=225&#038;h=300" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>

This means he takes up most of the bed.</p>
<p>So we eat even when we aren&#8217;t hungry so we can grow to be dogs she can lay on and snuggle with.</p>
<p>An then she goes and gets her nails done and meets Miles. Miles is six weeks old. He&#8217;s a miniature chihuahua puppy, and she has fallen in love with the idea of him because she could put him in her pocket.</p>
<p>Not only am I feeling fat and furry today, I am feeling mightily betrayed.</p>
<p>Mommis had better get over this. We just got done accepting Monte Carlo-Python-Cello-Zuma the pit bull puppy that lives with us now, and Mommis has fallen in love again?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m beginning to think Mommis is promiscuous. Probably not a word a dog can get away with using, but we live in a house with a big library of books, and I have eaten a great many of them.</p>

<p>I can&#8217;t understand why Mommis isn&#8217;t praising me. I turned over the garbage and sorted it all by myself when she was at Pilates this morning. Do you think that was easy? First I had to step on it exactly the right way, and then, when it hit the floor, the big sort began. I spread it out carefully so everything was visible for her.</p>
<p>But when she came home, she yelled &#8220;No, no no,&#8221; which I&#8217;ve learned means something bad, although I don&#8217;t know what.</p>
<p>Then that AKer Paunnie ran up to her and leaned against her thigh. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t do it, I didn&#8217;t do it,&#8221; he told her. And she believed him, although of course after I started it, he nosed through it, too.</p>
<p>But she loves him more than me. She calls him Main Man.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m going out on the back deck, and I&#8217;m going to lay low. Even though it&#8217;s wet out there.</p>
<p>She&#8217;ll get over it. I&#8217;m cute. But I have to leave her alone for a while.</p>

I am powerless against this new addiction to rolls of toidy paper. Today Olivia came and cleaned the whole house.  While she was here, I noticed that she was getting a roll of toidy paper out of the bathroom cabinet, and that there was a big bunch of rolls in a plastic bag. <a href="http://blog.stealthmode.com">Mommis</a> must&#8217;ve got them at Costco. They weren&#8217;t there last week.</p>
<p>Mommis gave us dinner and then went out to the <a href="www.socialmediaclub.com">Social Media Club.</a> I got bored, and I remembered the rolls of toidy paper.  So I went and got one and tore it in little pieces.  That was big fun, so I got another one, and another, and another.</p>
<p>It was pretty tiring doing all the work of tearing up all those rolls, so at the end of it I just laid down on the kitchen table to wait for Mommis.<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_OVndTHsI7lU/RuoFmIviAwI/AAAAAAAAAIU/GxHUOG16Oyc/s1600-h/IMG_0343.JPG"><img style="float:left;cursor:pointer;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_OVndTHsI7lU/RuoFmIviAwI/AAAAAAAAAIU/GxHUOG16Oyc/s320/IMG_0343.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />When she came home, she was silently furious.  I know she was, because she had to get on her hands and knees and crawl around the floor to pick everything up. I tp&#8217;ed the whole living room.</p>
<p>I just stood on the table and watched.  Not much I could do on this end.</p>
<p>I think I&#8217;m a little thirsty, too.</p>

I went out in the morning and saw that usual dog loose behind our fence and I barked at it. I guess the people next door don&#8217;t like that. So we had a visit from a woman in a blue uniform who had a badge that said &#8220;Sheriff.&#8221;</p>
<p>I charmed her.  When she came to the door, Paunnie and I barked, but then I stopped and laid down by mom&#8217;s feet as soon as she came into the house. So did Paunnie.  We faked being well-behaved, and the woman fell for it.  She loved us!! She even petted us. We shedded all over her blue uniform.</p>
<p>So then mom asked her what we did wrong. She said there was an ordinance that neighbors were entitled not to be disturbed, She said it was an ordinance, not a law, and the worst that could happen to us was that animal control could come out and cite us.  But we couldn&#8217;t be taken away or anything.</p>
<p>The blue woman then apologized for  the fact that we had grumpy neighbors.</p>
<p>Mom always yells at us when we bark.  Now I know why.</p>

Mom didn&#8217;t get us walked early enough today.  I think I woke her up in the middle of the night when I knocked over the two ergonomic dishes we use for water, and then Paunnie barked at me.  She thought it was the raccoon again and came running out of her room.
<div> </div>
<div>So she didn&#8217;t get up early enough to walk us before Pilates, and I was pissed.  First I unrolled all the toidy paper, but it got stuck in my mouth, so that wasn&#8217;t fun.  Then I discovered that once again, the back gate was open.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was just sauntering out for a stroll around the neighborhood when she arrived home from Pilates.  I could see I taught her a lesson, because she grabbed the leashes and took us out right away.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As we passed all the other dogs in the neighborhood who have to stay home alone all day &#8212; the one that wails all day, the one that barks all day &#8211;I felt really lucky! I have my mom trained.</div>

<div>We love this bed. </div>
<div>We spend so much time here that we have ground down the colored pattern on the duvet cover.</div>
<div>I actually have another bed, but it&#8217;s on the floor next to this one, and it seems low to me. Also it&#8217;s hard.  And it&#8217;s not near mom.</div>
<div></div>
<div>That&#8217;s Paunnie sleeping next to me.</div>
<div></div>
<div>We have another bed at home in Arizona. It&#8217;s much bigger. Four of us can fit on it. I know because when mom had her hip replacement, Ko and Bo and Bluey and Paunnie kept her company in bed.</div>
<div></div>
<div>That was before she got me. She got me New Year&#8217;s Eve. Before that, I was in a shelter in Prescott. When Rescue a Golden Az brought me to her, she took one look at my face, and I could see it was love at first sight.</div>

I&#8217;m a rescue dog, but I think life is pretty good.  I&#8217;ll tell you a little about me later.
<div></div>
<div>This week, Blu is visiting us at Camp Fluppy Puppy. His dad is <a href="http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/ACLU-AZ/pressRelease.jsp?press_release_KEY=202">Dan Pochoda</a>, who throws balls at us endlessly. He loves us, and he&#8217;s very patient with me.  Oh yeah, he&#8217; s a famous lawyer,  but my civil liberties are intact, so I don&#8217;t pay much attention to his prowess. At defending civil liberties OR at throwing balls.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Oh, by the way, I don&#8217;t fetch. I mean I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style:italic;">aggressively</span> don&#8217;t fetch. In the ocean when they are all fetching, I swim in the opposite direction. On the hikes, when they are fetching, I try to cut them off. Or I run after a horse that is corralled along our trail. One time I ran around and around behind that horse, and I thought it was a lot of fun. The owner of the horse told my mom that I could have gotten kicked and knocked out.  Who knew? </div>
<div></div>
<div>One time I ran into a big corral with lots of horses and an electrified fence. My mom had some <a href="http://www.instituteforentrepreneurship.com/clube.html">student entrepreneurs from Club E</a> with her and they were having a business meeting mixed with taking me and Paunnie for our morning walk. They looked the other way, and I saw my moment to meet those horses.  I think they didn&#8217;t like me.  Their front feet and back feet kept going up and down like they wanted to push me away. My mom&#8217;s student,<a href="http://www.chillfactorclothing.com"> Kevin</a>, finally ran through a field of horse shit over to the corral to catch me. He was wearing dress pants and dress shoes, because he was going to a meeting later.</div>
<div></div>
<div>I tried not to let him get me, but he grabbed me. And then he got shocked going under the electrified fence. I thought it was pretty funny, but I think he ruined his shoes.  He didn&#8217;t smell good, either.</div>
<div></div>

<p>I decided it might be fun to participate in social media, since my mom spends all day at the computer blogging away and Twittering to her friends. I thought about getting a Facebook Account, but then I thought I&#8217;d just start with a plain old blog. She told me it was the old technology and had already peaked, but I am new to it, and perhaps it means the technology has crossed the chasm. I always heard that on the Internet no one knows you are a dog.

<div>Do you know I&#8217;m a dog?</p>
<p>This summer my mother sent me to camp. It&#8217;s called Camp Fluppy Puppy, and it&#8217;s in Half Moon Bay, California. That&#8217;s me on the right. On the far left are my camper friends (l. to r.) Ko and Bo. The next one is my brother, Paunnie. Their real names are Kodie and Bailey and Chauncey. And my real name is Luckily.  But you won&#8217;t hear these names in the blog, because my mom calls me Buppy the Buppy (or Dennis the Menace). </p></div>
