Read to Me

Do you read ???



A lot of people I meet like to read.



I don't read too much myself, but I sure like when people read to me.



Oh' and I like to look at the pictures too, even upside down.



So if you like to read too, or just want to say "Hi" come by and visit. We hang out at the Brisbane Library. But be careful, you could catch what my dad says is a reading bug. I hope I don't get it.

My New Roomie

A couple of weeks ago, I moved into a new foster home. When I got there, I was greeted by my new roomie Gulliver. At first, I was like, "Yikes! This guy is almost twice as big as me!" He would follow me around and sniff me and try to play. But, being new and all, I was a little bit shy. I still get shy sometimes but my tail is wagging non-stop and I'm slowly getting used to playing with such a big guy. Sometimes, my new foster parents think that I'm the bigger dog. My bark can make me sound pretty big and I even snore louder than Gulliver! I found out that this Gulliver guy isn't so bad after all. He even shares his bed and toys with me! One time, I sat on his face while he was lying down, and he didn't even care! I guess he knows who the queen is around this joint. Sharing a bed with someone like Gulliver is nice on cold winter nights. Good thing my snoring doesn't wake him up!

Will you be my Valentine?

Some Pit Bulls may be red,

and some can be blue.

But one ting for sure, 

dis wittle bullie loves you!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

Two On, Two Off

A bit short of a year ago, I started an agility foundation class. One of the first things we learned was a 2o2o. That means I plant two feet on the equipment and two feet off when I reach the end of the equipment. It’s a safety thing she says so I don’t go leaping off the agility contact equipment and go hurting myself. Here I am all those months ago learning a 2o2o on a beginner’s practice board . But, let me find her camera and then check back in a few days. I’ll show you the end result on a “real” agility teeter. I’ve learned a lot in the past few months, I’m having fun in my new life, and my new bionic knees are hanging in there just fine!

Deeee-licious!

I had a turkey neck for dinner last night. Turkey necks are my number one favorite dinner ever. My mom holds them for me so I can chew them up well and really savor the yumminess.

My favorite dinner is healthy as well as delicious. My vet says that because I eat turkey necks regularly my teeth are clean and white.

Lulu always finishes her turkey neck faster than me, so she watches me really closely in case I can't finish it. Keep on dreaming, Lulu!

Usually I'm a Good Boy

But sometimes I like to be naughty. When I'm naughty I enjoy things like putting my paws on the kitchen counter to see the food, or jumping on and off my people's bed while my mom is making it, or not paying attention in class, or pulling things from outside my crate in to my crate.

Unfortunately, my people can tell when I'm thinking about being naughty because my ears get all crazy. They call it "naughty ear".

See how the right one goes up and over? That's naughty ear.

When my ears are naughty I sometimes get to do fun things, like go on my treadmill!

Other times I have to go in my house until my ears calm down.

It's not as fun as the treadmill.

Remember though, usually, I'm a good boy.

Paws for a Hero

I learned a new word and it's called "Hero". I learned it cause I read a book called Demo: The Story of a Junkyard Dog.

Demo is so cool in the story and saves the day so he's a hero for the people in the book. I learned that being a hero is cool cause it means that the things you do make people's hearts smile, so they must be good things. Then I learned that the Demo in the book is a real-live dog and that made the story even better and made Demo even more of a hero. This is a drawing of Demo - Isn't he the cutest???:

One day my person talked to Demo's person, Jon, and Jon had a really awesome idea. He asked if I would put my paw on some ink and then put it on a Demo book as part of a contest. Jon also asked my siblings Jonny Justice, Uba and Hector to put their paws on the books, and told us that Demo would put his paw on too for the contest.

I LOVED this idea cause I thought it would be so much fun to put my paw on the ink and I could be really silly when I was doing it and then maybe someone might really like to see my paw on the book. So me and my person put my paw on the ink and then on the book!!!!

Here's the link to a video of me putting my paw on the book. If you click on the link you will see how it was so awesome and how I was laughing and how my tail was wagging and I hope you laugh and your tail wags, too. The end is my favorite part cause I did a good job...you'll see.

So now you gotta check out Demo's book and look at the contest where you can win one of these cool books with the paws: http://www.demo-dog.com/childrens-book-XmasPage.html

Me and Demo and Jonny and Uba and Hector hope you love the book and the contest. And I hope you think Demo is a hero like I do cause we all need a hero who makes our heart smile.

Happy Hero and Merry Holidays.

Love, Jhumpa Jones

Happy Merry Day

Today my people woke me up from my morning nap.

They put this red thing on my head and took pictures of me.

It was kind of annoying, but it made my people smile, so I tried not to be too grumpy.

Happy new toys day!

hugs,

My Dude

Back when I first was taken from dat "mean guys" yard and kept in a cell for like, forever! I was so scared being all alone.  I couldn't see my sister or my cousins but heard dem barking.  Den one day a pack of humans came and were staring at me. I wanted to bark, "Why are you guys starring at me? Don't you know dats rude?!"  Den dey tried to make me do tings I didn't want to do!  Den dis human dey called Tim, brought me outside and talked softly, while holding me in his arms.  I wanted to lick him and tank him, for his kindness but was too scared to do so.  When he left dat day, I tought "Oh no where's my dude going?! " Guess what?!  My dude didn't forget about me!  Turns out, he sent people from his pack to spring a bunch of us from dat scary holding place.  Well, a lot has happened since dat first day I met dat human with the kind eyes.  I now have a forever home, I'm learning dat its OK to explore scary tings and have met other nice humans too.  But, its "My Dude" who will always hold, dat special place, in my wittle bully heart.  ~Love Frodo~

                                                            

Yikes ! What is that ?!?!

Make sure you check under your dog bed before laying down. Scary things are everywhere.

Be safe.

'Ears Lookin' at ME!

Every single day I go for a walk with my person and one of my brothers. Sometimes I go with my Labrabrother, Pyewackett, and sometimes I go with my super-cool Pibblebrother, Piggly Wiggly. It's so cool to go for a walk with my brothers.

Today I was walkin with my Labrabrother and here's a movie of me. My person was laughing at my shadow...But I don't really know why. I was just looking around at everything and sometimes when I look at stuff my ears make funny shapes.


I don't try to make funny shapes with my ears, you know. It's just that when I'm thinking real hard or when I hear something new or if I see a squirrel or something my ears move all around like they want to know what's going on, too.

Lots of people have told me that my ears are one of the things that make me so special and that they make lots of people happy.

I like walking with my brothers. And I like being special and making people happy.

Love,
Jhumpa Jones

Someone smaller than me came to stay

Usually, I am the smallest dog at our house.

I am smaller than Lulu, smaller than Sydney, smaller than SweetPea and smaller than Lolo. Sometimes, I get tired of being the smallest and the people calling me little. I have a really big personality and tons of energy, which I think means I'm not so little.

I got a break from being the smallest this month when Daisy May came to be a foster sister. She is even smaller than me!

It was really nice to have someone around who could look up to me. Daisy is super sweet and polite and friendly and was a very nice guest. She gave me a big kiss to thank me for being a friend and showing her around the big city.

It was a pleasure having you here, Miss Daisy May!

hugs, Uba

My BFF

I have lots of friends, see. But there is one person who is super special to me and her name is Annie Lee. Annie is 7 years old and I am only 4 years old so she is like my cool big sister. Here's a picture of her and me.

I met Annie last weekend when she and her mommy Sharon and her daddy Ralphie invited me and my person and all of my brothers and sisters Piggy, Pyewackett, Cricket and Little Toby to visit them at their house. Can you believe it? These totally cool people invited five dogs and one person to their house!! I think they should get a prize like a bully stick or a cookie with frosting or something for being so nice to me and my family!!!!!!
I know a lot of big people but Annie's house was the first small person's house I ever visited (my person calls the small people kids but all I know is that they are small like me and not big like some people who scare me sometimes). Annie knew how much I like cheese and she gave me some and then I never ever wanted to leave her side.

I wanted to climb in her lap so I did and she giggled and I wagged my tail real fast and everyone, even the big people, laughed and giggled. I didn't mean to be funny, I just wanted to be near my new friend.

Then we took a picture of me and Annie and my person. This was such a great and fun day. Annie is my BFF and I am so lucy to have a BFF. After all, how many pibbles like me have a BFF like Annie?

I love you, Annie!!!!!

Life is So Good

My yard is full of cool stuff. I have squirrels, chipmunks, and bunnies. Lots of birds, too. I am really good friends with all of them and love to share my grass with everyone. Sometimes bugs crawl on me and it tickles. My person thinks it's funny that I have so many friends in the yard.

This is a picture of me laying in the sun in my yard. My person grabbed her camera and snapped my picture cause she said I was smiling.

All I know is that I'm a really happy girl :)

Monday Movie

Today, I was hanging out in the garage with my foster dad, when he pointed that little silver box at me again.

What a girl has to do to get a cookie around here is embarrassing. Sheesh.
