3 MORE DAYS!!!

January 23, 2012

Mommy said I will get a big surprise in 3 days!
Oh boy, oh boy - I can't wait!
I can't count either - but I still can't wait!

I know something is going on because Mommy and my big bubba Tony have been putting a lot of stuff in boxes and there are lots of boxes all over the house - it kinda makes me nervous, but Mommy gives me lots of hugs and kisses and doggie treats, so I am not too nervous (I think). My big sister cat (Cheyenne) LOVES the boxes - she jumps all over them and hides in them sometimes.

Hmmmm - I wonder what's my big surprise in 3 days - does it have to do with the boxes? I hope it's a bone or a toy or something - but I don't care - I know I will love it. Mommy always gives me good surprises.

On another note - Mommy got me a brand new crate/bed and I really love it - I was growing out of my other one - this one has LOTS of room - and it has a nice pillow for me to sleep on too - Mommy said, even though I can stay out of my crate more, I still need my own "girly" space sometimes, just like she has.

Here's a few pics of the boxes - WOW - lots of boxes! I wonder if my big surprise is in one of those boxes?

ANYA'S BEING A GOOD GIRL NOW!

January 10, 2012

I am learning to be such a good girl! Mommy is training me to be out of my crate and sometimes off-leash - and I did a great job last night!

Mommy keeps me in the kitchen at night with a long lead (not in the crate anymore) so I can play with my toys and get food and water - that way, if I have an accident, it's easier to clean up - however, I got loose last night (not sure how), and I did not bother Mommy or get into anything at all! I stayed in the kitchen and living room area, did not potty on anything, and when she got ready for work this morning, I was by the front door ready to give her a big doggie kiss!

She is soooooooo proud of me and gave me lots of extra hugs!

P.S.
Mommy said she has a big surprise for me soon - and I can't wait to find out what it is!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!

11/19/2011

Today was Mommy's birthday - she had a great time with my big bubba Tony and some of her best gal friends - they went to lunch and she brought me back a doggie bag - YUM! Bubba Tony gave Mommy a brand new guitar - and I help her sing when she plays - Mommy also got a new winter coat - she doesn't have fur like me to keep her warm, although I do cuddle with her a lot - I also gave her extra kisses for her special day!

I WOKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE DOGGIE BED...

Saturday was not a good day for me (Oct 23, 2011)

Mommy wanted to clean house, do things like that, and it made me nervous. I don't know why. When she sits still and I can sit next to her, I am okay. But when she moves around a lot, it makes me nervous and I start to cry and whine and sometimes pee and poop on the floor. I know it gets on Mommy's nerves. I don't mean to do it.

Mommy thinks it has something to do with the people that owned me first - like PTSD (don't ask me - I have no idea what that means) - she said I might be afraid she will abandon me or something. I don't really remember that, but she said it must be in my "subconscious" - don't know what that is either.

I was much better Sunday - we went for a walk and I gave Mommy loves of doggie kisses.

AND ANOTHER TRAINING COLLAR BITES THE DUST!

I did not like the HOLT collar, or the GENTLE LEADER, or the 2 HARNESSES Mommy tried on me - but I do like the chain collar - it doesn't hurt me and it isn't around my snout, which I really hated. I have so much fur, that it doesn't pinch me - and it is strong enough not to break - and I don't complain about it - and I can go for more walks with Mommy now and she doesn't worry about me breaking it like the old ones did (I chewed some of them because I didn't like them - but don't tell Mommy).

Summer's almost over!

Been a busy summer - spending time with Mommy and now, my big bubba Tony, who moved back home with us to go to College. I also have my little bubba, Momo, back, who went to stay with his cousin for a few months. Cheyenne is still my sweet little sister - and she likes to play "peek-a-boo" in boxes.

Summer is almost over - but the fun isn't - we plan to go camping again soon - not sure where yet.

Mommy took me to the top of big mountains on Trail Ridge Road at Rocky Mountain National Park - she will post pics soon.

Here are a few pics:

Good Girl - Well, Mostly Good Girl - 04/06/2011

I was a mostly good girl today.
I did not mess my crate.
I did not whine or cry.
I played ball with Mommy. It was fun.

And, I behaved. Well, sort of. I just can't help it. I want to play with the kitties so much. They keep running from me. Momo, my little bubba kitty, keeps hiding from me. He hid under a blanket in Mommy's lap, but I found him. I tried to catch Cheyenne, and she ran to Mommy's lap - and that's where I found Momo - I tried to kiss them, but they ran off.

Bummer.

Mommy just laughs. She said that Daisy loved kitties too. I bet Daisy is playing with kitties in Heaven right now and they don't run off.

Other than that, I did very well. I ate all my supper and slept all night right next to Mommy.

Mommy said when she adopted me, the rescue people gave her a big bag of dog food that has Daisy's picture on it. She said that Daisy is taking care of us. She's our guardian angel. Here's a picture.

I AM SO PROUD OF ME! 04/04/2011

I was a very good girl today.

I didn't mess my crate.

I didn't mess in the house.

I behaved when I went to walk with Mommy and she took me to the pond. I love to walk by the pond so I can look at all the birds and ducks and geese.

Mommy gives me LOTS of hugs and kisses and treats when I behave, so I try very hard to please her.

I am doing well with my school homework, too. This week, I have to obey the silent "sit" command.

I did whine a little when I wanted to play with the kitties, but Mommy said I couldn't. They still need some time to get used to me.

HOWEVER, I went straight to bed at bedtime and did not whine or cry.

Today was a very happy doggie day!

THIS IS ME SAYING "I WUV YOU" TO MOMMY:

Colorado State Parks

WOW and BOW-WOW-WOW!

My Mommy just told me that we will soon start hiking at most of the Colorado State Parks. She found out that almost all 42 state parks allow doggies - and you know what that means - I am going to make lots of new people friends and doggie friends - and she said I will get to see lots of trees and big rocks and mountains and lakes and rivers and - oh, I can't remember the rest. The best part is, I get to spend more time with my new Mommy.

She said that as soon as I graduate doggie kindergarten - we will go camping and I get to sleep outside in a tent under the stars with her!

Hey, what's a tent?

Doggie Kindergarten!

WOW - Mommy signed us up for a special doggie kindergarten! We start on Sunday, April 3, 2011 - we are going to have lots of fun learning new things together. Plus, I will get to play with other doggies who are in my class!

My First Hike - Rabbit Mountain, Colorado - Sunday 03/27/2011

I had a great time with my new Mommy today - we went to Rabbit Mountain and hiked. There were lots of prairie dogs and they made funny squeaky sounds. There were really big rocks and dirt for me to play in. I ran very hard on the trail. I was so excited to see all the other dogs there too. I stopped to say hi to everyone.

Mommy was great - she gave me lots of water to drink and even turned on the air conditioner in the truck to cool me off on the way home.

We stopped by Sonic to get a treat - Daisy whispered to me that Mommy used to stop here and get her some cheese tater tots and to give them a try - she was right! YUMMY!

Colorado sure is fun! I can't wait to see what we are going to do next weekend!

Here are a few pics of me at Rabbit Mountain:

My New Home with My New Mommy

I am so glad to have my new Mommy. She tells me I am a full breed White Siberian Husky (although I really don't know what that means) and I was born on May 26, 2010. Mommy says that's a special day for her, because it is her Gramma McGregor's birthday, too.

I was sent to live at the COLORADO AUSSIE RESCUE because I got too big for my first family who couldn't keep me anymore. That's why they took me to COLORADO ASSUIE RESCUE - because they wanted to make sure I found the perfect new Mommy. CAR took great care of me and looked very hard to find the right new Mommy for me. I don't understand why I was given up. I am very lovable and loyal. I like everyone and also other animals. I can't help it if I am big boned.

Anyway, they took me to a special place to find me a new Mommy. I found my new Mommy on March 26, 2011. I knew I wanted her to be my new Mommy because her dog Daisy, who went to Heaven 8 years ago, whispered to me and told me she would love me forever. So, I ran up to her and licked her in the face. She started crying happy tears and hugged me back. She fell in love with me and took me home with her. She said she loves me just the way I am, big boned and all. Isn't Mommy special!

I love my new home. I have a playmate, SHUGGA, who is my new best friend. She is my Mommy's son's dog. I also have 2 kitties who live with me. I love them very much too. They are a little afraid of me right now and keep hiding from me, but I am sure they will love me too. I keep trying to play ball with them, but they keep running under the bed.

I have a new special bed that is all mine at the foot of my Mommy's bed, and my own dog food bowl and water dish. Mommy gave me Daisy's old blanket and I take very good care of it. I keep it in my bed.

My new Mommy's the best. She takes me for rides in her truck. We go outside together and walk, go hiking and are planning some cool camping trips together. I get very excited when we go to the pet store - because I know she will get me a new toy or treat.

Thank you, Daisy, for whispering in my ear. You are right, Mommy will love me forever!

Here is a picture of me and Mommy on our first hike together.
