Ticking

look at all my new spots!

when my folks first said they thought i was TICKING i was a little scared because i thought it meant i was growing blood-sucking bugs all over my fur. well i checked with my pal google and it turns out that TICKING is what people call it when maturing Jack Russell Terriers start getting little spots all over their bodies.

101 Watsons?

relieved that i wasnt going to get my blood sucked by a bunch of ticks i started imagining what would happen if i had so many spots that people thought i was a dalmatian... and then suddenly there were 101 of me... do you know how many squirrels i could catch if there were 101 Watson Dalmatians? a guy can only fantasize...

Is my brother really a dog?

my brother Teddy

we got my brother Teddy from the dog pound so i think we all just assumed he was a mutt. but the more i look at him the more i wonder if he has been hiding his secret identity.  ive never seen another doggy that looks like him... but i did find the photos below. my brother is awesome so i love him no matter what... but i kinda think he might have some cousins he doesnt know about. you be the judge:

Unwanted Visitor

WOOF! usually when someone comes to visit it results in an abundance of bellyrubs and treats, so its not often that i can say i had a visitor i didnt like. well recently out of nowhere a little pink guy popped up on my face and i was NOT happy.  he didnt even ask my permission before camping out right next to my nose.

my benign pest

mom took me to the vet and in no time the little pink pest met his demise. the vet said he might come back but mom & dad are researching healthy options to make sure the pink guys know they are not welcome. so heres a warning to anyone who is thinking of making an unannounced visit : either come bearing bellyrubs & bacon or be ready to get booted. Grrrr.

Being a Big Brother

me & my little brother Teddy

i recently got a new little brother named Teddy.  being a big brother is a lot of fun because i get to teach Teddy how to do things like hunt for squirrels and scavenge for dinner scraps.

Teddy & his "tuff ball" 

my bro is super smart but the one thing he hasn't caught on to yet is how to clean up the scene of a crime A.K.A dispose of the evidence... 

in the doghouse...

im sure he will catch on someday but until then we are both practicing our #sadpuppydogeyes...

Learning to blog

im new to blogging so i want to make sure i dont make any crazy mistakes like i did when i first joined twitter.  i was warned that twitter lingo can be confusing so i used to google everything i didnt understand before posting comments. boy did i feel bad when i learned that BOL meant "bark out loud" and not "be on later" like google had told me... im pretty sure i lost some friends when i said things like "im sorry you dont feel well BOL..." yikes! no worries because i think im catching-on to this blogging thing pretty quick... except i cant figure out why no food comes out when i click the SPAM button on my inbox...

If you are a doggy, then you must bloggy

WOOF! i think it was my twitter pal @Mr_Pie who once told me "if you are a doggy then you must bloggy." for a while i was scared that blogging would take away from my time as a #squirrelwhisperer but ive decided to give it a shot. besides i heard you can find a lot of weirdos & nuts online... i dont know what to do with the weirdos, but i can use the nuts to lure in a few squirrels... right?
