Hi Heidi and Isabella
Day 2 of my DOTM run! You guys are the best. Friends are the most important thing in the world to me after family! I want you to know I appreciate each and every one of you.
Now, For the topic I promised you.....
~~ The BEST Dog Movies You May Not Be Watching ~~
Today's movie is another Disney Production. Walt Disney's version of Greyfriar's Bobby is based on Eleanor Atkinson's immortal children's book. As with many stories based on true stories, Disney takes many liberties with facts, but the story of a man and his devoted dog that have a bond that can't be broken even in death are true and factual. A movie for dog lovers of all ages. It stars Donald Crisp, Lawrence Naismith, Alex Mackenzie and Kay Walsh.
Don't forget to vote for our friends with Birthdays/Anniversaries and the DOTD each and every day this month! I love you all and look forward to making even more friends this month!

Okay, Here Goes! My first day of my DOTM run! First, thanks to everyone for your friendship and for any and all votes during this run. I appreciate each and every one of you.
Now, For the topic I promised you.....
~~ The BEST Dog Movies You May Not Be Watching ~~
The first of my recommended movies is Walt Disney's Iron Will. It's based on an incredible true-life story and stars Mackenzie Astin as a young man thrust into adulthood when he races his team of sled dogs in a grueling and treacherous cross-country marathon, hoping to win the $10,000 grand prize that can save his family from financial ruin. It's Entertaining, Inspirational and Captivating. This is a movie you won't want to miss! It also stars Kevin Spacey, David Ogden Spears (MASH) and Brian Cox. Check it out, you will be glad you did!
Don't forget to vote for our friends with Birthdays/Anniversaries and the DOTD each and every day this month! I love you all and look forward to making even more friends this month!

It wasn't COMPLETELY fair that I lost blogging priviledges yesterday because I didn't listen when Daddy called me to come into the house and kept running all over the place! Like a friend of mine said, how often do THEY not listen to US when we try to tell them something??? A lot of times we try to ask to go outside, especially me, Chewie. I will hit the bells on the front door and whine and Daddy will say "knock it off, Chewie. You don't have to go out". Now, how does HE know? I think I know better. If we would end up peeing or pooping in the house because HE DIDN'T TAKE US OUT, in spite of the fact that WE WERE ASKING HIM TO, who would be in trouble? You got it!! We would take the fall and it would actually be their fault....I'm just sayin'
Sometimes I try to get Mommy or Daddy to play with me, especially Daddy cause he plays better than Mom. Sometimes he plays with me but sometimes he ignores me and tells me he is trying to work on his computer or he is busy in his workshop. I am trying to talk to him and he just ISN'T PAYING ATTENTION!! They never get punished if they don't listen to us!! Why are we supposed to ALWAYS listen to them?? Just not fair!!

Hi Heidi and Isabella
PHEEWWW! It sure has been a long time since I barked. Unfortunately we are going to have to C/P to catch up. Well mom's trip to North Carolina went well but I sure did miss everyone. She was thrown for a loop when she heard my food was one that was recalled. She couldn't check the bag because it was in FL and she was in NC! The worst part was I had already eaten 95% of the bag! She called the vet where I was staying and that opened a whole new can of worms. All in all it worked out. I did have a bag of food that was recalled but they said at the pet store there was salmonella in the factory not in the food, it was a voluntary recall just in case to protect all us critters. None of the food tested so far has shown any signs of contamination. Mom is real happy with Diamond pet food for making that decision.
I am glad to be home now and laying on the guilt trip pretty thick! BOL I am being quite picky with my food, and moping around, something I do every time mom leaves me and makes me board somewhere else. I end up getting all sorts of treats on my food and lots of extra attention. Mom knows what I am doing but she is nice enough to play along.
It has been pretty warm and muggy here with rain too! I have been getting my walks again so I am happy. Last night was real short because of bad weather. I see a palm frond getting ready to fall and mom said this time she is going to be prepared before she even let's me out. I probably won't even act funny like when she is not prepared. I guess I am just a little stinker.
Hopefully we can get back to a normal routine again and be able to bark with our friends regularly. Hope you enjoy your day. Pawed a vote! Love, Sugar

Hi Heidi and Isabella
Sorry it has been so long since we barked with you. I was at a Doggy Resort in Disney!! I had so much fun! My profile picture is one they took of me while I was there. My pawrents and skin sisters went to Disney's Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Mom said she missed me soooooo much, but I told her it was ok I had a blast! They have this off leash doggie park there and I got to run and sniff and drink out of a big bone shaped pool too! Mom took me out there when she dropped me off and when she picked me up. I am pretty tired now and have been sleeping so much since I got home. I hope you had a great weekend. Pawed you a vote.
Oh Yeah, I will be offline until the 13th of May. Momma is going to visit her mom in North Carolina. She said if she gets a chance we will blog but it is not likely. Labby licks and cuddles, Sugar

Mommy heard a big boom downstairs and went to check it out because Daddy makes wine and he has another batch going. Well the last few days he has had something happen that has never happened before. The wine bottles are blowing up! The wine goes everywhere. Guess what! Another one blew! Wine is all over the door, the floor...everywhere. Of course when Mommy opened the door, she stepped into the wet sticky stuff. She is not a happy camper. This time it isn'y us, Maya or EVEN Chewie in the perverbial doghouse...it's Daddy! Mommy called him on his cellphone at Uncle Bob's and told him about it...Bad Dad!
Today, Mommy has a few things lined up for us to do.
We are gonna make Amish Friendship Bread...That stuff is good. Especially the Apple Cinnamon one that Mommy Makes. We have to work on the Photo Albms because we have to write in where all the puppies are from under their names. Cool end result, but I think I will convince Mommy to do it without me. I have been working with my campaign manager, Maya and my poster designer/speech writer, Mommy planning everything out for my DOTM run in June. We are kind of nervous about running. I am a very sensitive guy, ya know. I have been watching the campaigning for the Republican Nomination for President and those people are brutal....even a penguin got in the act when he bit that Newt guy in St Louis! I sure don't want any strange birds biting me! Heck, I don't even want any birds I know biting me! BOL! I am just an all round friendly guy looking to make his way in the world by running for a position that lasts only a month, has no pay or insurance benefits and doesn't mean a hill of beans to the media or MOST of the general public and I am as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs! Shoot I can't even campaign for a little over a month and I would be sweating if a dog could do that. (Instead, I am panting like crazy!) At this rate I will hyperventilate and pass out and miss the whole thing! Oh well, if this doesn't work out, there is always acting! Usually, actors become politicians, I could do it the other way around. I could be a politician turned ACTOR! My first movie could be about a failed political campaign and the impact it had on the guys DOG! Maybe my speech writer/poster designer could write a screenplay and make the posters for the theater lobbies! She works cheap! hehehe Maya could work as my manager and line up other projects for me to do and scripts to paw through looking for the right one! I think I'll have "my people" call "their people" and set something up for July 1st right after my run just in case. Either way, win or lose, it always pays to think ahead and PLAN, PLAN, PLAN!! After all, there is never a LOSER, just those who DON'T WIN! hehehe

Hi Heidi and Isabella
Our Easter was pretty nice. We went to Grandma and Aunt Mindi's. This time, I didn't run through the apartment like the last time. Of course there was no little girl to play with and my cousin Jeremy (her Daddy) wasn't there for me to play with either!
Maya was her usual quiet well behaved little self EXCEPT a couple of times, when their cat Tuffy started to come over by Mommy Maya did her ruff-ruff-ruff-ruff I'm gonna attack you act and he stopped. I NEVER growled or even looked cross at the Cat and by golly, he wopped me with those declawed front paws!....more than once!! I was just sittin there not even aware he was there and kapow! he bopped me. What is THAT?! I guess they just passed it down the line, Maya yells at Tuffy, Tuffy clobbers Chewie, Chewie goes after....wait a minute, there isn't anybody left for Chewie to go after! So not fair! Nice guys do finish last ya know. In my case I don't even get to finish cause I never even got started! I don't have a mean bone in my body and the worst I do is just pester Maya and not give up when we are playing. Then what happens? I get to be at the bottom of the "foodchain" here! Maya didn't touch Tuffy just made noise, I didn't do anything and I was assaulted by a cat that thinks hes Muhammed Ali or something.
Float like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
You've been socked by
Muhammed Tuff-EE!
If you were wondering what I am doing right now, I have my PuppyDog lip stuck out and am practicing looking very sad and abused with big ol puppyDog eyes filled with tears. I'll let you know how that works. Sympathy anyone?

Happy Easter Heidi and Isabella
OMD! I had a harrowing experience today! Daddy did some outside work and Mommy wasn't feeling real good. so she was dozing off and on in her recliner, after giving Maya another haircut. (She decided she didn't get it short enough the last time)Well, needless to say they weren't paying a lot of attention to where I was or what I was doing!Later in the afternoon to early evening Maya and the kitties acted like they heard something. Mommy listened and said she heard me crying and it sounded pitiful like I was hurt or in trouble. It wasn't very loud. Mommy said something to Daddy and he listened. Then they started looking for me and calling my name! They looked in the closets in the bedroom (a common place for the puppy dogs before us to get locked in) and...no Chewie! Next up was the old office room that they keep closed if they aren't in there and the spare bedroom...no Chewie! Mommy opened the front door cause Daddy asked if maybe I was outside...no Chewie! Daddy went downstairs and opened the door to the back area where Dady's workshop is and called me...no Chewie! he started back up and they could still hear me. I WAS in the basement!! Daddy came back and opened the door and I ran out past him like a bat out of you-know-where and straight up the stairs to Mommy! I paid no attention to Daddy until he came UP the stairs where I was safe from getting accidentally re-imprisoned!! Then he got the enthusiastic Thank You Very Much attention from me! It was really a traumatic experience! There I was all alone in the dark basement. It was so dark in there I couldn't see my little black paw in front of my muzzle!
I was hearing all kinds of sounds and noises overhead, probably everybody going about their lives upstairs like nothing was wrong while I languished alone in the dark wondering where my next meal was coming from, or would I starve to death....maybe I would die of thirst. I definately couldn't turn on the water faucets. My paws aren't built for that! besides, one of them is too darn high for a short guy like me. Yup! I was in dire straits down there and they weren't even aware I was missing! I wish there was a way to send out one of those alerts to the news people. Maybe if it scrolled across the bottom of the screen on that black box they watch they would realize I was gone. I didn't want to ruin my reputation as a real tough guy (I had to do enough damage control over those darn bunny ears!)so howling and wailing like a girl was out. I had no choice but to use a pitiful but not wimpy whine, NOT A CRY, a WHINE, there IS A DIFFERENCE, and hope that would be enough! Thank goodness it was. I'm glad there wasn't any vermin or larger creatures down there to get me or worse yet to have Maya the little girl terrier save me from. We all know what a great hunter she is! How embarrassing would it be to be saved from the big bad boogie man by your sister!!

Okay, Mommy had a doctors appointment this afternoon, but I don't think she is going to the right kind of doctor. I think she needs what those humans call a shrink! (although I wonder why they call them that. They are head doctors. They aren't gonna shrink your head so you look like that guy in Beetlejuice, are they? Man I hope not. I can't imagine Mommy with a Barbie doll sized head...BOL!) I do think she needs on of those head doctors, though! Here is ONE reason I think she is in trouble.
She has been trying to do something she calls a Jedi mind trick. She waves her hand in front of me and says things like, "You want to be a good boy" or "You want to listen to your Mommy". Sometimes she says, "You don't want to do that".....I mean, come on, if I didn't want to do that, WHY in the world would I BE DOING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE? Is she nuts? Has she completely lost her mind? If she has WHERE did it go and how did it get out of her head so she could lose it? I have a REALLY good nose and I can smell out and find just about anything, especially things I'm NOT SUPPOSED to find, but I have no clue what a mind smells like so I can't help her find hers!!!
If anybody has any suggestions on what I can do to make Mommy get her mind back, I would appreciate your guidence. Should I call the sheriff's dept? You don't think during the night Maya and I messed up as watchdogs and somebody snuck in and stole Mommy's mind, do you? Oh my gosh, THAT would be terrible. Even worse than her just misplacing it. If it was stolen, it could be out of state by now. I'm not allowed to leave our yard. How could I ever find it then?! Well, I need to do a little more research on the subject and get back to you. In the meantime if anybody has any ideas on whether I should just sit tight and wait it out or do something to help her, I will be forever grateful! Mommy is important to me and Maya and I don't want those men in white coats taking her away from us! Thanks everybody!
