Shadow! the Oddstripe Dog

Skwirrehl!

Sorry, it’s been a while since the last post, but I’ve been patrolling the yard. You see, a squirrel has appeared above the back of the yard, and has been there for quite a few time. So I haven’t had time to update this bIog.

Unfortunately, the squirrel keeps out of reach all the time. I’ve told Fryday to go up in the treehouse to get a higher perspective, but he’d get stuck.

New Kitty

I have discovered a new kitty that lives behind the old wood building in the back yard. It’s frustrating that I can’t get to it.

More rain

There is more rain today outside. I love walking in it. It hits my fur in a little phtumm; and makes everything smell better.

New Chair

Ah, my sad life. Nothing to post about for a few times because there was nothing new to talk about. But today, all that will change, because a new chair has appeared in the living room! My family brought it in, and it smells like satisfaction. And it’s not like those hard, bony, small chairs we have near the food room. It’s a nice, large, me-curled-up size, and it is soft and covered in chewable leather.

It’s mine. I’ve claimed it from the rest of the family. He he.

Schpellerizing

My family seems to think that I cannot spell. I do have them type into the blog, but I can spell! They’re always saying things like “I think we should go for a w a l k.” First of all, the “go for a” part will get me excited anyway. And come on; I’m a border collie. We learn to spell in the womb!

Now let’s go for a s k i.

Weird Kitty

Me — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 22:17:51 +0000

I was on a walk yesterday and I saw a very weird kitty. It was sitting on an outside window ledge, looking like it was climbing down. I got very excited and ran up to it, but it didn’t run away! It sat perfectly still. I guess it was frozen. I sniffed the all-beige cat on the nose, but my family pulled me away. I couldn’t figure out why, but they were laughing; I kept trying to run back to it, and they laughed harder!

The weird part is that in addition to it not running away when I sniffed it, it didn’t smell more like a cat when I got closer. I’ll investigate more, and tell you if/when I find out anything. This is a very fishy situation… mmmmmm. Fish!

Treat Day

Me — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 17:48:45 +0000

Yesterday was a very fun and special day. I have noticed it comes about once a weather-cycle, about when the snow starts. Right before, my family puts a rosemary bush in the living room and covers it in lights, and they start being home more often.

So, yesterday, I woke up to everyone gone from their beds. I peeled myself up and into the living room, where the family was sitting and giving each other paper boxes. And I noticed that there was a fire in the hole in the wall, and next to it were oversized socks. At that moment I realized It must be TREAT DAY!

I went over to the socks and started sniffing them. The smallest one, as always, smelled the best. It smelled like flavored meat! I looked at it, and politely fidgeted until my family took it down for me.

The jerkey was so good I can still feel it in my tummy.

Walks in Snow

Going for walks in the snow is not like anything else. When the snow melts under your paws, it gives them an exciting chilly feeling! I love plowing my head down at surface-level and getting my face all wet; then I come up and roll around.

Hopefully, when I do this, I’m at home, and when I get too cold I can go and curl up on the couch.

Oh, and did I mention that I love to eat the snow! The way it stings in little tiny spots on my tongue and melts down… whoops! Got to go; treat time!

More bicycles

Me — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 03:10:04 +0000

There are now more bicycles in the main room of my house. It seems like David keeps bringing more home every while! I don’t know what they’re for, but every time they leave with them, I can’t come.

I’m Back.

Hey. I haven’t been writing for a while, because I’ve been sick and on a trip. But now I’m back. Recently on my mind:

Have you ever noticed that the mailman always comes at exactly the same time every day? It’s so weird! And all they do is come up to the door and make a clanking noise, then leave. Harmless, you may think, but behaviour that odd deserves suspicion.

Unfortunately, the door is always closed, so I can’t detain and interrogate him.
