Dog Park

Hi Everydoggie!  We had a fun day today. First we went to the Tanner Dog Park and we had lots of fun in the snow!

Dog Park

It was just me and Muffit today, and we got to run and run and play with other dogs and it was really cool fun. The Mum wanted me to post up these pictures so you can see how pretty it was at the park. But I would have posted more me pictures!

Dog Park

The paths are fun and there is lots of snow on the trees.  It snowed all yesterday and we got lots of really fun snow, I like the snow! So instead of New York Yankees tickets we had a great day at the park.

Lily and Pack

Then we went for a really looooong drive and guess what guess what?  We got another foster sister! The Mum is calling her Lily and she is a rough sable collie and she was was found on Friday night by a nice guy who took her in and kept her warm. Because it’s way too super cold outside. She has no microchip and she had no tags on, so we’ll see if we can find her home. But if not, she’s our foster sister for a bit! The Mum posted about her too on Tip Tail about Lily!

So we have a couch upstairs and it’s kinda raggedy and the Mum wants to throw it all away! When I came it didn’t have so many chews on it… but me and Bianca, my old smooth collie foster sister, we used to play tug with it and stuff and so now it’s kinda a bit more chewed than it was.

Me on My Couch Spot

So well I thought the couch would be much more comfy if it had a little nest in the middle of it and so this is what I did. And yeap, above is me laying in my nest spot.

My Couch Spot

Isn’t it comfy! It’s just perfect sized for me! Well and since I made it of course it would be!

Hey everydog and kitty and fuzzy and non-fuzzy. Yappy Howildays to you all, too. The Mum and me haven’t been much on the computer the last few days because she’s been so busy!  But now we get a break and breaks are good, though hopefully the Mum will take me to the park this weekend!

Woof!

So check it out we got a fun new Holidays Present! It’s a new dog bed! Ooo I really like it. When the Mum put it down, I had to jump all over it!

Tatum's New Bed

The Mum says I have to share it with the rests of the pack but Hrmm I dunno about that. I like having it all for myself!

Chewing the Bed

See I can even chew on the corner! The Mum said “no Tatum don’t chew on the corner!” but I like chewing on the corner! I didn’t chew much, though. Just a little bit, and didn’t even get any stuffing out!

Tatum's New Bed

But I could get stuffing out if I wanted to!
I like my new bed. I might share.. if I’m in a sharing mood. Which I usually am not!

Sasha is Happy!

Today we went and visited Sasha! I haven’t told you guys yet but my foster sister Sasha went to live with another foster family and brothers and sister. And she is really happy there. The Mum says she cried a little bit when she dropped Sasha off at the new family, but they are a super nice family and they have three rough collies there already, and Sasha is way happy there!

And I got to play with Sasha’s foster brothers and foster sister! They are super fun and pretty collies and we had a really good time. I like Bonnie, she’s the tricolored girl who likes to run and play with me!  The Mum came too and took these fun pictures of us when we played in the snow.

One of the boy collie’s names is Fletcher, and dangit now I can’t remember the other boy collie’s name! Hrmph! The Mum says she isn’t remembering either oh well I guess we will have to ask again. I just know that they were both fun to play with and chase around!

The Mum thinks that Bonnie is really a pretty girl too! The Mum says she usually doesn’t like the black tris as much as the sables and blues and whites but Bonnie is super pretty! But of course I was the prettiest one of them all!

The Mum and I came home and loaded up these fun pictures on our laptop so we can share them with everyone. Sasha is happy too, and that makes me happy too, and the Mum too. Monday night Sasha is gonna come stay with us again because Tuesday she is going to the doggie doctor to get her teeths cleaned up and find out what the stuff on her nose is. Hrmph well then we get to play some more, yay!

Okay so this isn’t really an easy game at all DESPITE what it looks like from Muffit playing the game. I am posting two videos, the first one is of me playing, and the second one is of my brother Muffit playing. The Mum didn’t want to put all six of us’s videos on Tip Tail so she is having me put me and Muffit’s videos on my blog.

But my blog is better and more fun anyway than hers. If you want to see Lucy playing the Muffin Tin Game you’ll have to go over to Tip Tail!

The Mum says this is a super fun thing to do on these cold winter days where we all just stay in the house and sleep and don’t do much. And I’ve been kinda cranky at Lucy and Angel and Chase lately and the Mum says ‘nooo Tatum don’t be grumpy at them’ so the Mum is saying she needs to bring in a crate for me but HRMPH I don’t want a crate I want to run and run and run! No need for weight loss products for me because I just run!

So here is me playing the Magic Muffin Tin Game and so what if I’m not all that fast at it? I’m sure the cutest at it! Mine is about 9 minutes long so if you like looking at how cute I am please watch! Muffit’s is only a couple minutes long so you don’t have to watch him as much.

So here is Muffit playing yeah okay so he’s cute what of it?

So that is the Magic Muffin Tin Game have you ever played before? If you haven’t maybe the Mum or the Dad in your house can set it up and you can play and take a video ’cause I want to see you other superdogs play too!

The Mum and I were just watching the weather-guesser on the news and he said that it is supposed to be really cold the next few days here in Utah in Salt Lake City where we live. It’s supposed to get down to four degrees on Saturday or Sunday!

Me Curled Up

And so to show how I get all curled up to stay warm, I thought I’d show you some pictures! This first one is of me. The Mum says me, Levi, Chase and Muffit can all curl up really nice. But Lucy and Angel can’t really, they just don’t bend. So the Mum and the Dad put blankets on them and get snuggly beds for them so they can stay warm too.

Levi Curled Up

If you don’t know how to curl up maybe there is a toll free number you can call to learn! It makes my belly super warm, and I put my tail over my nose too, to keep my nose warm.

Muffit Curled Up

Levi also knows how to curl up really tight into a ball. Us collies are good at it usually. And border collies, the Mum says, are even better because they are so flexible. But being flexible isn’t all that important… I like being a collie even if we are not as flexible as border collies!  Okay okay… being flexible is kinda important, and for collies me and Levi are pretty flexible and we have pretty good bodies that let us do lots of way fun stuff!

Muffit is kinda silly when he is all curled up, because he does it and keeps his eyes open sometimes and peers at the Mum when she is taking pictures. LOL Muffit is a silly border collie boy! He can curl up into a teeny tiny ball though, because he’s so small, he makes a very small ball.

Can you curl up into a small ball to keep warm? It’s not really that cold in our house though either… the Mum wants it colder, the Dad wants it warmer. So it changes quite a bit. Oh but the Mum is being sick now and that’s why I haven’t posted much lately anyway because she hasn’t left the laptop on for me to post with. But that’s okay, I have been curling up with her and keeping her warm, too!

The Mum is telling me that Sasha’s medical bills might get higher after we go into the doggie doctor to find out what she has. And the Mum is afraid that Utah Collie Rescue doesn’t have enough money in their bank account to pay for what she needs done. So she set up this way cool donation widget thingy so everyone can help! And if you want to see it about her you can go to Utah Collie Rescue’s Sasha Post!

If you can help out even a small amount for Sasha, maybe $10.00 even, that would be so super nice! If you can’t… maybe you could post about her and ask other people to come by and help? Utah Collie Rescue is a 501c3 (whatever that means) official snazzy rescue so all contributions are tax deductible!

Thanks everydoggie and everykitty and everyrattie and everyother fuzzy and non fuzzy!

It finally snowed! I love the snow, ’cause it’s nice and cool and I can run and run and not get too hot and stinky! Though I never really get stinky I just get hot and my tongue hangs out a bit but it’s okay I’m cute and so is my tongue!

So check out these fun pictures of the snow yesterday.  I really wanted Sasha to play with me and she did! She didn’t run around too much. The Mum says she probably doesn’t have too much energies because she still isn’t feeling well and she’s too skinny too.  But I think with more time she’ll run with me even more!

Isn’t Sasha pretty! Though the Mum and Dad say that she might go stay with another family instead of us. I would be sad because I like her a lot. But if she gets another foster family who can spend more hooman time with her, I guess that’d be okay for her. But I’d miss her I think she is super fun.

We had some good fun running in the snow. There’s lots more snow now… but the Mum hasn’t taken more pictures of us yet. She better soon.  We have fun and like to run and run and chase and run!

Here is my big yawn too that the Mum took when I was looking over Lucy’s dinner. LOL I wanted her dinner!  But the Mum didn’t give me any of her dinner. Oh well. Maybe I’ll sneak some today! I want food but I don’t really want any Phentermine!

The Mum says that next Friday we are gonna go to a place called Ogden for some super fun agility training too. I can’t wait! I like agility training!

I hope everydog is having a good weekend!

so sometimes we get sick… I haven’t ever gotten sick, thank goodness. But right now my sister Lucy is sick, and Sasha my new foster sister is also a little bit sick. And when ya get sick you really need to go and visit a doctor or a nurse. And the Mum tells me that there are not enough nurses right now so it’s a good idea to learn to be a nurse and maybe check out MS nursing to go to!

And to be a nurse.. you gotta go to school. And the Mum tells me school for hoomans is pretty fun. I like the school I go to, it’s way fun! I learn lots of things! And so if you got check out the Master School for Nursing Science you’ll learn all kinds of fun things! To go, you need a batchelor’s degree from another accredited school…. I don’t have one of those though. But they are not too hard to get!  And you can take these classes online! And then go into their school too and meet lots of fun hoomans and maybe they will have dogs too!

Because we all want to be healthy and even if you are a hooman nurse maybe you can learn about dogs as well and help Sasha and Lucy get better because we all like to run and run and be happy and healthy!

Sasha

So this is Sasha! I like her a lot! Yesterday she came to stay with us for a while, last night after it go dark, and she went out into our back yard and it was dark and she did lots of potties out there, so the Mum thinks she is smart and knows not to potty in the house already! So we don’t have to go clear to the Outer Banks to get her to potty!

When we were outside last night I tried to play bow to her and dart in and out and play play but she didn’t really want to yet. The Mum told me later that she’s probably nervous for coming to live here with us and it will take her a few days to settle in and relax. My Dad is going to take her to the doggie doctor today and get her all checked out.

Her poor nose is covered with scabs so hopefully the vet can help with that. She is a sweet girl and, like me, likes to rub her face and nose on hoomans. But the Mum says maybe she does that to itch her scabby nose and that might be bad ’cause it really needs to heal up.

Sasha’s teeth are really super icky too and she has bad breath so she will need a teeth cleaning.  But she doesn’t smell all that bad really, but with her silly long fur (smoothies are so much easier like me!) she’s starting to get some mats so the Mum is asking Aunt Laurie if she’ll groom her and bathe her.   So the Mum didn’t give out any baths last night yay!

I’ll keep ya’ll posted on how Sasha is doing because she is sweet and wonderful and really needs a super great awesome forever home!
