Tatum Tot Spice

In the trailer, I just wanted to wear my tiara, and Chase and Muffit wanted to play. And even though Chase looks kinda mean here, he is just being a dork. He plays with all his teeth out! And Muffit, as you can see, is a little bit thinking Chase is a dork, too.

Chase kinda tilted my tiara a little bit… which made me mad, but the Mum fixed it for me. Which is good ’cause I don’t want it to fall off. And we played in the trailer ’cause we didn’t have a xbox 360 to fool with.. we just had each other, and no TV either!

The Mum watched a show on the TV that she called Bones last night.. though I didn’t see any chew bones on it, just dogs barking! And every time they barked, I barked too, ’cause I thought they were gonna come out of the TV and get me! And I had to bark at them to make them go away. The Mum said it was a show that had a lot of things about dogs that aren’t really real, but it did have a good message that people who get dogs need to keep them for ever and ever, even if they get big and they didn’t expect it!

Look at my feet all tucked under… Wordless Wednesday

Well it started out good. Me and Chase and the Mum went to practice obedience with the nice lady and her Malinois. And Chase got to learn some good stuff and the Mum was really happy. Then at the end I got to eat liver on a stick that kept moving so I followed it. And I even went over some jump thing to the white round thing on the floor with more liver on it. Yummy!

Then we went home and I got to sleep while the Mum went out again. But when she came home she was crying. I’ve never seen her cry before, water coming out of her eyes. Levi tried to lick up the water and I sniffed her but didn’t really know what to do.

She told the Dad that she saw a little doggie get hit by a car and that made her sad. She didn’t tell us more though because she didn’t want us to get sad too. She wrote about it on her blog Tip Tail, but she won’t let us read it because she likes us to be happy.

Now it’s time for bed. I get to go to puppy class Wednesday night, and rest tomorrow. I was super tired yesterday, but today I wasn’t anymore and me and Angel just had a lot of fun rearranging these two liter bottle things that the Mum and the Dad just brought home. We pushed them all over the kitchen floor!

Chase is my brother. He’s a border collie. The Mum and Dad say that he was their first ‘foster failure’, and I was their second. I guess sometimes when hoomans help doggies that don’t have anywhere to go, and let us stay with them for a while, they tend to fall in loves with us and we stay forever. And it’s nice when hoomans fall in love with us and let us stay forever, because we like having soft beds and a nice cozy house to live in!

So the Mum and the Dad said they fell in loves with us, even though they already had Lucy, Levi and Angel living with them. But we like living here too. And anyway, who would be able to not fall in love with me and Chase? We are both awesome puppers, collie and border collie. Even though some people say Chase is kinda funny looking as he doesn’t have very much white. I like him being black!

So anyway the Mum says it takes Chase a while to get used to other dogs in our house. At first he didn’t like us collies… well, the ones that came after him. He likes Lucy, Levi and Angel just fine. But me he wasn’t very sure of. So the Mum and the Dad kept him separate from us a lot. He goes over this gate that keeps the kitties in their room. Chase can jump it even! He’s the only one that can. I don’t want to, it’s too tall.

But now Chase is starting to really like me, ’cause I play with him and the other collies don’t play as much. So the Mum got these pictures of me and Chase whispering to each other, and playing with this tennis ball. Doesn’t Chase look mean when he plays? All his teeth show and sometimes the Mum doesn’t know if he’s playing or growling! When he growls no sound comes out so sometimes we don’t know if he’s really grumpy or not.

Playing with Chase is fun! I got tired, though, and left him because yesterday wore me out!

Here is me playing with my brothers and sisters! The Mum caught us on video tape. I love to play!

Oooo… I have to bark and bark! There are dogs in that box that the Mum watches all the time. She is telling me there is a dog named Lassie on there, and that Mum was told to watch it because to see how the collie head has changed over the years. Whatever that means, my head hasn’t changed at all.

But Mum… I have to bark when those dogs in the color box bark too! Woof!

Well… I had a big day already today. Though no one will play with me like Bianca did and I sometimes miss her. But I don’t know why everyone wants to sleep so long in the mornings. Sleeping is okay and all, but not in the mornings!

So I got up and nipped at the Mum and tried to get her to play, but she just kinda laid in the bed and didn’t move much. I tried to get Chase to play but he didn’t want to. I went outside and ran around the snow and barked and barked, and that’s when the Mum got up and I came to see what I was doing, and she closed the dog door. So then she tried to go back to sleep and so I walked on her… and then she finally went into the kitchen and put some really yummy stuff in this red rubbery thing, she called it a Kong, and put it on the couch for me. Oooo that was fun and I got all the goodies out!

Then after she got up and we all ate breakfast, she took me and Tony on a walk in the snow. That was fun too. The Mum says, though, that puppy class has been canceled and that is a bummer because I love to go and see Feisty and Bindy! Hopefully I can see them later this week and play with them.

And now… oooo now I think I’ll lay down for a little bit and maybe take a nap….
