Broken Barker?

There has been lots of activity at my house lately with people who don’t belong there. There were some guys jumping around on my roof and some other guys that were just really noisy and that UPS guy that comes around when I have not invited him! I have noticed lately that once I start barking, I am unable to stop. It is like my barker is stuck and I can’t get it to stop. I think that my parents are concerned or they are just irritated because it sounds to me like they are saying “shut up Chuck!” but probably not right? Surely they understand that my ham protection system is probably taking over and there is nothing that I can do about it. I think the other dogs have a little bit more control over their barkers as they do “shut up” when my parents say something, but then they all look at me like I am putting the team in jeopardy of some kind of punishment. Really guys, I can’t help it! I hope my barker doesn’t get stuck while I am sleeping cause that would wake me up and then I would be really grouchy!

I AM NOT BARKING RIGHT NOW!! LOOK HOW QUIET I AM?

SQUIRREL!!!!!

Every evening before bedtime, we are given little mini dog biscuits that were made especially for dogs like us. It is a good thing that they are tiny because I would certainly choke on anything bigger. Anyway, my Mom puts mine in various spots on the dog bed so that it takes me a few minutes to find them. That way I can’t shove all of them in my mouth at once and have the before mentioned choking. Cayenne gets her biscuits in a little pile. She then snarfs them all into her mouth and carries them into another room. She is like a Chihuahua/Squirrel mix. I am not sure why she does this. Maybe she thinks that I will steal them, but I would never do that. I just wonder how she gets them all in her mouth at once and how she has the ability not to eat them in the moment. This seems very weird to me. When the food is in your mouth you eat it. You don’t carry it around with you and then eat it in another location. I feel the same way when Lacey takes her food out of the dish and deposits it on the floor. Why would it taste any better on the floor than it does right from the dish? I personally don’t like to waste any time getting that food into my belly where it belongs. Who cares if I barely get to taste it. I am sure that it would taste good if I actually chewed it. I am just glad I am not a squirrel!

SURGERY SUPER HEROES

LOOK I AM A LITTLE MINI SUPER HERO!

I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about the Surgery Super Heroes Fund. My Mom’s work place is full of people who really love dogs and cats. They do lots of surgeries and sometimes they do surgeries on animals that don’t have homes. Since I love my home so much it makes me sad that there are animals without homes or dog parents to love them. I may be sort of a selfish kind of guy and maybe I am a little bit spoiled, but I am able to feel compassion I think. That is why I am sharing my blog with the special donation fund. I don’t really ask my fans for much, but if you are able to make a small donation it would mean the world to the dogs who need some help! I won't even ask you for ham this week, but don't expect that to last very long! Thanks for being an animal lover!

A PITIFUL PORTRAIT OF REJECTION

This is a picture of me when I found out that my friend Becky didn’t want me to come over for the 4th of July. In my e-mail request, I even offered to be her “Little Sparkler”. We don’t get much quality time together and I know she has other dogs to attend to but come on, it’s me! I think life hands us little disappointments so that the good times are even better. Yeah, well whatever. I don’t want any disappointments and I am pretty sure that my blog followers want to see a happy Chuck. Not a depressed, despondent or morose Chuck who is wallowing in the wake of rejection. This week you need to send Becky a note to let her know how disappointed you are in her for not letting me get my way. I really am unable to handle any situation where I am not able to be the top dog. Even if I am the top short dog, the view is the same from the top. Right?
