I Haz Acquired...

the wonderful smokey odor of rendered brisket fat. That is all.

I Love You, Man!!!

Sparkee and I have finally forgiven each other for our, ah, transgressions. We just had great time chasing each other through the yard and play fighting. It had been over a week and both of us had a ton of energy built up, so it felt so good to play together again.

Any dogs can fight, but only real dog friends forgive each other.

The Big Fight

As anyone who's seen a Jude Apatow movie knows, the big fight and subsequent falling out are a key part of the bromance genre. And sadly, Sparkee and I got into a huge fight earlier this week.

At this point I don't even remember what the fight was about, all I remember is that we beat the crap out of each other for about 10 minutes before our humans were finally able to break us up. Sparkee gave me a nice gash near my eye, and I think I gave Sparkee a nice gash on his side. And both our ears got pretty torn up.

It's been a few days now and I really miss my friend. :-( Hopefully there'll be a happy ending just like in the movies.

The Beagle Bromance

It's been a few weeks since Sparkee moved in next door, and I gotta tell you, it's been a blast!

If we're both outside, one of our humans will open the gate between our yards so we can play together. And now that the weather's warming up, we've been playing for two or three hours a day. :-)

And the other weekend Sparkee stayed at our house for a few nights while his family went on a trip. We got to play together all day long and then take a nice long naps by the sunny kitchen window.



I haven't been to the dog park in weeks cause I really don't need any more exercise. I'm sure all my friends are wondering where I am, but I guess that's what happens when you're in a 'beagle bromance'.

Sparkee!!!

Yesterday afternoon I went to my neighbor's house with the rest of my family (nothing unusual there), but this time there was doggy there! And not just any dog... another Beagle!!! His name is Sparkee and he's really fun to play with, we had a blast chasing and wrestling in the snow (he's the Beagle on the left).





I'm not sure if he was just visiting or if this is his new home. He was outside with the kids again this morning, so I'm really hoping that he's here for good (I'm keeping my paws crossed).

It's Not Just Me...

At least there's one human out there that hates Halloween as much as I do, and apparently so does her dog:

Why I Hate Halloween

It's That Time Of Year Again

It's getting colder outside, the leaves are falling, the kids are back in school, and all over the country, innocent dogs have to suffer the indignity and humiliation of looking like this chump:



That's right folks, it's time for a friendly reminder that despite how much you'd like it to be, Halloween is not a holiday celebrated by dogs. In fact, we freakin' loathe it.

For openers, there's the costumes. If you guys want to dress up like pirates, slutty nurses or vampires, go right ahead. But please remember that just because you like to parade yourself around the neighborhood looking like a total douche, it doesn't mean your dog does too.

And then there's the decorations. What you humans don't seem to realize is that even seemingly harmless things can be scary to some dogs; just ask Captain, he's afraid of baby strollers for crying out loud! So just think about that 20-foot tall inflatable Frankenstein you just stuck on your front lawn; some poor Pug's gonna walk by that thing and poop all over the ridiculous ballerina costume his owner made him wear...
