Tennis, Anyone?

Howdy, ya'll!!  Who knew that a fuzzy yellow ball was so much fun?  This bouncy ball is sort of like gum.  I just get to chew and chew and chew on it.  The Mrs. gave one to me yesterday and I toted it around like my baby all night.

I'm so excited, my tail is wagging so fast, it's just a blur!  

I love chasing the ball down after someone throws it for me & it's fun to have make the Mrs. wrestle it out of my mouth to throw it again... she say's I haven't quite figured out the part about dropping the ball so she can throw it again without getting her hand all slobbery.  

Have a great weekend, I'm hoping I have a spa day 'cause I'm WAY overdue!  

The White Stuff!

OMG!  It SNOWED AGAIN!  I just can't tell you how much I love the snow!  It is so much fun to play in!!  The cold & wetness doesn't bother me a bit!  I got to go out with My People for a while off the leash too.  The Mrs. was throwing me a baseball, even though it was white, I found it every time!  I am sure that I will love summer just as much as winter though since My People are sporty and a ball is always being thrown around this place!

Here I was a couple of days ago dreaming of The White Stuff, hoping we would get more.

This is me right now, all tuckered out from my eventful afternoon in the snow.  I'm ready for bed!  The Mrs. wanted me to let ya'll know, I was a really good girl today.  :)  The proof is below, I was chewin' on my own toys!

Paws out!  I gotta hit the hay!  Gotta little joke to leave you with...

Man's Best Friend

A dog is truly a man's best friend. If you don't believe it, just try this experiment. Put your dog and your wife in the trunk of the car for an hour. When you open the trunk, who is really happy to see you!?

I Can Open Doors! Part Two!

So, guess what?  I can open doors even if there is NOT a child safety knob on it.  The Mrs. said she was going to try to get a video of it.  I'm gonna be famous, ya'll!

The Mrs. has been sayin' I ain't been nothin' but bad.  Must be hitting my teen stage, being quite rebellious and I don't really know what the word, "NO" means.

Oh!  And I have some sad news.  'Member that bling I told ya'll about, that purdy necklace with my name on it.  The Mrs. just rigged it up on my collar again the other day.  She thought if she used a key ring holder that it would be a little stronger than the other one it came with.  She put it on me and I bounced around like a bucking bronco trying to get it off, but eventually she gave me a bone and I forgot all about it.  Well, this morning the Oldest Littler Person let me outside.  Next thing I know, The Mrs. is outside chasing me down.  I guess I didn't even realize it, but I was free.  I was no longer hooked up to the chain.  Come to find out the Littler Person hooked the chain to the key ring part instead of the part attached to my collar.  With my strong muscles I busted it right off and well, The BLING is long gone in all this white snow.  The Mrs. looked for it a  little while, but it really could be anwhere...here's hoping maybe, just maybe when it melts, we can find it.

BUSTED!!!

The Mrs. said I was so "busted"....whatever that means!!!  :)

Let Freedom Ring!

Omg omg omg omg omg!  The Mrs. let me outside yesterday off my leash so I could run & play. Omg omg omg omg!  BEST. DAY. EVER!  I love to run.  I love to play.  I love the snow.  I love that some of My People came outside to play with me.  

Here I go!!

I love football!

See all those tracks in the snow?  Those are all thanks to me!!  I did NOT want to come in to the house.  The Mrs. had to bribe me with a bone, but I stilled whined to go back outside.  I think it's safe to say that My People & I look forward to getting a fence for the yard so I can run and play and kick up my heels all the time!  

It Snowed! It Snowed!! I Heart Snow!

Yay!  I woke up to inches upon inches of wonderful white stuff today!!  I love the snow.  I love to bury my face in it, sniffing out buried treasures.  I run all over the place like a crazy fool, kicking up my heels.  I can't wait for My People to come out and play with me.  For some reason though, they didn't seem as excited about all the fluff as I am???

School was cancelled for the Littler People today, so we've just been enjoying a lazy day.  Snuggling on the couch or playing toys (or rather My People chasing me down to retrieve their belongings from me).  Below, I'm being a stinker...

The Littler People keep their toys under their bunk bed (mostly organized) and here I'm seeking out my next  victim.  LOL

Seriously? Who can resist this face of mine?  Cute, cute, cute!!  

Hey ya'll, I have a favor to ask....if you've been enjoying my Dog Blog, I'd love for you to become a follower or maybe leave a note.  Thanks a bunch-o-dog biscuits!

Busy Day!

Boy, was I ever busy yesterday!!!

I also chewed a hole in a really pretty hand sewn heating pad that belonged to the Mrs.  She was not a very happy camper about that.  I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.  It just smelled so good, that I had to check it out and then one of the Littler People was trying to wrestle it away from me and it caught on my tooth and tore.  I really am so sorry.  

I also got a hold of this bowl and put just enough bite marks into this spray bottle to make it leak.  They fill that one with vinegar and water and if I get too crazy I get a squirt of it.  It smells terrible!!  Ha! Now it's empty!  

To my credit, I have to tell you how ignored I was yesterday and the day before!  Three out of five of My People were sick and the Mrs. was really busy taking care of everyone else.  I got a little bored since no one was paying much attention to me.  The good news is, everyone is on the up and up so I shouldn't have to go into any time outs today. 

I'll leave you with a few funny dog quotes for today and I promise to be a good girl!  Paws Out!

"A dog can express more with his tail in minutes than his owner can express with his tongue in hours."    ~Anonymous

Dogs and cats instinctively know the exact moment their owners will wake up. Then they wake them 10 minutes sooner.

If your dog doesn't like someone, you probably shouldn't either.

"The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too."   ~Samuel Butler, Higgledy-Piggledy

I Can Open Doors!

Yep, you read that right.  I open doors.  Well, one door at least.  The other day the Mrs. was in the Baby's room and I kept getting into things I wasn't supposed to do.  What can I say, baby toys are so tasty!  The Mrs. had enough and sent me out of the room and shut the door.  I got really sad that she kicked me out and I decided to find a way in.  There is this funny safety thing on the door knob, supposed to keep kids from getting in there I guess.  Well, with a few fast moves with my paws, wha-la! I got back in.  At first the Mrs. thought one of the Littler People let me in.  She shooed me out, and a few minutes later I got back in.  Again, the Mrs. didn't realize it was ME opening the door.  The third time, she clued in though!  Boy was she surprised.  Hey, I don't give up easy~ that's a good thing right?  Pawsistance?!  Attain your dreams with pawsistance!  ;)

That's me WOOFing my food down!  I can eat it in 3 minutes flat!!!  I know, I know, I should slow down, but I got things to do, ya know.  My brudder Roscoe though, eats one kibble at a time, so since I've arrived, he has to go into the bathroom to eat or else I will WOOF it down too.  That old man needs to learn to eat a little faster!  You snooze you lose, dude!

In between meals, I love to chew up my dog dish.  The Mr. & Mrs. finally got me a metal bowl.  

Hope you have a Pawsful day! 

I Got Some Bling!

Here's the new bling that the Mrs. picked out for me. This is my second one.  The first one 

I broke in a heartbeat.  Actually, longer than that but less than 24 hours of getting it on me, I broke it.  This one is a beautiful hand stamped heavy duty washer that the Mrs. got at Poochy Couture on Etsy.  However, I can't wear it right now because I broke the ring that keeps it attached to my collar.  Oh, that's another thing, I need a new collar already.  I kinda chewed up the pretty pink and brown one.  It's holding up for now, but probably not for much longer.

Today the Mrs. bought me a couple of new toys.  I liked them a lot.  I guess they just don't make toys like they used to though, cause I tore them both up in a matter of minutes.  I do have a couple of nylabones and I chew on them sometimes, but they just aren't my favorite.  The Mrs. wonders if there is anything that will hold up to big chompers???

My older brudder, Roscoe & I are getting along pretty good these days.  There were a few moments of sibling rivalry at first, but good ol' Rocco is coming around.  The Mrs. snapped this picture of us sharing a bowl of water.  May there be many more.

Ruff-ruff it's off to the nighty-night for me.  I've been sleeping in the Littler People's room the past couple of nights.  More room in that bed for me than with the Mr. & Mrs.  I've got some really long legs and need my room to stretch out on, can't do that with two Big People.  Paws out!

HI! I'm Liberty Belle~Welcome to my Blog!

Hi! I'm Liberty Belle, welcome to my blog!  

I'm just a pup, my family adopted me from Last Chance Rescue a couple of days after Christmas 2009.  They said I was a Christmas present to the family.  No one knows for sure how old I am, but we're guessing around 8 months old.  I'm part Doberman Pincher and part Labrador Retriever.  I have webbed feet, ya'll, I can't wait to go swimming this summer!!  I'm so pawsitivly glad to live with my new People.  They like to spoil me.  There is the Mr. & Mrs. and then 3 Littler People who are lots of fun.  Then there is my older furry brudder, Roscoe.  He's nine, grumpy, and gray.  All I wanna do is play, but he likes to growl at me.

Some things I like are playing, chewing, eating, playing, chewing, eating, sleeping, playing, chewing, chewing, chewing, sleeping, playing, chewing, eating.  Oh, did I mention chewing???  The Mrs. gets a little frustrated with me and my choice of chew objects.  I have lots of my own toys, but the Littler People's stuff is just so divine to chew on!  I really like plastic toys, and my food dishes, and the Littler People's shoes.  Oh, and dirty diapers are delectable!
