Ocho's Corner

Shocking News!!!!

2006-12-08T15:21:00.000-08:00

I just learned something that is sure to shock and suprise you! Fang....... is ADOPTED!!!! She's not Mommy and Daddy's real baby! Not that there's anything wrong with that. I still love her even if she isn't actually a blood relative. I wouldn't have been able to tell by the way they treat us. They give us both the same amount of treats, even though I'm their only natural child. Fang doesn't care. She's all excited about finding her birth family. I'm glad I don't have to worry about things like that!

What A Week!

2006-11-11T20:19:00.000-08:00

Boy, what an exciting week. We went on a long car ride to a weird house full of people! I was so scared. Then I found out that most of the people there really wanted to pet and cuddle me! That was fun.
There was a fat lady with bad hair who complained a lot. She was icky.
A little girl said, "I'm going to hurt you!"
The fat icky haired lady said, 'Ha ha! That is funny!"
Mommy didn't want me to get hurt, so she sat down with the little girl and showed her how to pet me nicely. I liked that!
We stayed in a hotel. Fang barked. Fang is a bad dog. I was good.
It ws nice having all those people petting me, but I'm glad to be home.

I'm Growing Up!

2006-10-20T15:02:00.000-07:00

This is just to let you know that I am a woman dog now. I was in heat. Now Mommy and Daddy might take me to the V-E-T to get F-I-X-E-D. How S-C-A-R-Y. They say I shouldn't have babies because I'm small. Mommy and Daddy aren't running a puppy mill anyway! We have enough problems with F-A-N-G! Who needs a bunch of puppies!

Fang Was Bad!

2006-10-20T14:59:00.000-07:00

Fang did it! I saw her! She ate the carpet, then she pooped on it! I was so scared when you came home that I might have pooped a little, but you know I wouldn't do it on purpose. I tried to tell her not to, but she wouldn't listen! I'm sorry.

It's Still Raining?

2006-09-24T01:56:00.000-07:00

It's been raining for about a week now! It's always cold and wet. We aren't even allowed to go on walks without our sweaters! I'm getting tired of this! I guess it might snow sometime soon. I've never seen snow before, but it sounds scary. When it snows we might get little doggie boots. That would be neat! I like clothes.

The Real Ocho's Corner

2006-09-14T07:09:00.000-07:00

Mommy was out in the yard the other day with the poop scooper and she found the REAL Ocho's corner! It's right over by the fire pit! I left all kinds of piles out there. Good thing they never had that fire they were thinking about!

2006-09-09T17:43:00.000-07:00

Wow! That mutt strutting was pretty fun! I sniffed so many butts! I even got a new coat just for the occasion! If my mommy and daddy would have known about the costume contest they would have bought me a costume too! Fang got a new coat too, but the hood kept falling over her head. It made her run into things.

The Weekend

2006-09-07T17:13:00.000-07:00

The weekend is fast approaching, and I'm exited! This weekend our city is having their annual fall festival (is it even fall yet?) On Saturday, as part of the festivities, there will be an event called strut your mutt. It's a dog parade, with games and activities for dogs. How neat! There's gonna be a lot of people, and people have hands, and hands are made for petting (me.) It should be a good time.

I'll Show Fang How To Really Write A Poem!

2006-08-26T05:10:00.000-07:00

I'm going to try Junkyard Poetry now! Fang isn't the only creative dog in this family!

Fangs teeth are sharp

She likes to bite!

It really hurts me

When we fight.

Mom rubs our teeth

With chickeny gunk

So our mouths

don't smell like junk!

The other day

Fangs tooth came free

It fell on the floor

For all to see!

The Tooth Fairy came

And gave her a treat

A tasty Milkbone

For Fang to eat!

A Party? That Sounds Scary!

2006-08-23T11:47:00.000-07:00

I guess we're having a party this weekend... I'm not so sure about this. I've heard scary things about parties! Fang says that parties are when Daddy and Mommy invite monsters over to eat black and white dogs! That doesn't sound very nice! Kitty Cleo told me that Fang was being silly. She says parties are when people come over and microwave ALL the dogs and eat them for dinner. Kitty Noodle said to stop my sniveling or he'd sit on me again! Kitty Bean just hid..... I don't know what I'm going to do!

2006-08-18T06:55:00.000-07:00

HELP!!!!

2006-08-17T05:47:00.000-07:00

Hey, can someone get this fat thing off me? I'm starting to have trouble breathing. I think he's laying directly on my bladder! Seriously, I need help... lungs burning..... room spinning.... everything going black.......xxxxx

Pesky Fang!

2006-08-11T06:05:00.000-07:00

Stupid Fang! She goes and eats some wormy thing she shouldn't have and now we both have to take yucky medicine. That dumb Pug! I am SO mad!

Is That A Dog or A Table????

2006-08-07T07:43:00.000-07:00

Boy, am I exhausted! I had a looooong weekend.

I was really nervous about Daddy's Dad spending the night, but then he cancelled. He came over the next day and banged around in the garage. I hate the garage. It's scary. Fang kept trying to jump up on this big, hairy table he brought with him. The table kept moving out of the way. I've never seen that before.

On Saturday, we all got into the car and went to Pet Smart. That place smells funny. It scares me! I wanted to look at the treats, but all I got was a collar and harness. We also got a weird scary clicker. Daddy kept clicking it and trying to give me a treat. He called it training. Now I'm scared of treats. Nothing can make Fang scared of treats. She's crazy! Did you know that she climbs in the tub at night and pees? I would never do that! The tub is SCARY! Every time I get in there someone rubs soap on me. Yuck.

Well, I better take a nap now. If I hide here in these cushions, nothing scary should be able to see me!

Who's coming over?

2006-08-03T05:45:00.000-07:00

Fang and I were just laying around the other day, I could hear daddy talking on the phone in the other room. It turns out he was talking to his father (I've heard stories about this guy!) At one point in the conversation I heard daddy say "sure you can spend the night on thursday." WHAT?! I thought I was hearing things, but then I heard him say, "see you at 8:00." Oh my dog, what's next, a key for the front door?

2006-07-20T07:19:00.000-07:00

Look at this neat blog! I'm on it somewhere. You can see a picture of me running by the title!

A Day At The Beach

2006-07-03T11:45:00.000-07:00

One day it was really, really hot out, so SOMEBODY decided it would be a good idea to go swimming. The first park we went to had a big sign outside that said "NO PETS!" What kind of a stupid park doesn't allow any pets at all?
Finally, we found a park we could go to. I didn't want to get in the lake. Fang liked it. She ran right into that nasty, smelly, gross water! Doesn't she know that there are fish in there! Yuck.

I had to be carried out into the water. I was scared! The water smelled funny and there were weeds in it. I swam really fast all the way back to shore. I was so happy to be on dry land. Then SOMEBODY decided I needed to go out again! I think they made me swim about four times. And then when we got home, I had to take a bath! Life just isn't fair.

The Other Dog Blog

2006-06-16T12:36:00.000-07:00

I can't imagine why anyone would want to look at another dog, but if you do my sister has her own dog blog! If you want to read about her stupid, wrinkly self go there. Before you leave, could you rub my belly? And maybe scratch behind my ears? I'd like that alot.

NO!!! It's Mine!

2006-06-11T05:07:00.000-07:00

You can't have my blog!

Now I'm In Charge!!!!

2006-06-09T12:06:00.000-07:00

We're going to have to change the name of this dog blog! How about Fang's For Nothing? I think that has a nice ring to it. I'm the NEW cute one around here! Now that fluffy cat is third in line! Ocho is number two! I'm not sure how that works, but it's true!

I Am Not A HE!

2006-06-06T08:11:00.000-07:00

I am a girl dog. See the pink sweater. Daddy (Rob) will never be enough of a meterosexual to dress a boy dog in a pink sweater. He even refuses to gently burnish my coat with a pumice stone. The Boston Terrier Handbook says he should! I don't fit in this sweater anymore. I'll have to get a new one.

I Am Soooooooooo Cute

2006-06-04T23:58:00.000-07:00

You know you want to pet me. Everyone does. I'm so sweet and cuddly. Everone knows I'm irresistable.

I Like to Chew!

2006-06-02T16:40:00.000-07:00

I got a bunch of new toys today! One even squeaks. I like to chew on my toys! But I like to chew on the rugs more. The tastiest thing to chew on is a shoe! Especially a shoe someone likes! I would chew on this cat, but he won't fit in my mouth. I almost choked on a woodchip earlier today. I think I'll stick to chewing on clothes pins instead!

Sleepy Dog

2006-06-01T05:27:00.000-07:00

Car rides make me tired!

Stupid Cat!

2006-05-31T16:58:00.000-07:00

Stupid cat! You know I can't get up on a table! Anyway, I'm in charge now! Why don't you go sleep in the basement where you belong.
