BOO!

We had a Halloween Party at the library during Roll Over and Read this Saturday. All of the kids and most of the doggies were dressed up for the festivities.

Mom says that I'm really a shy ghost and not a lil' devil, but aren't I spooky? See my evil stare? I am trying to make someone give me treats with my compelling stare. "Give me treats or I will take your soul."

Catchin up and the Park

Haroo, Everypup! Shiloh again. Mom has been really bad about letting us post & visit blogs lately - just one more reason I need to keep an eye on her, I guess. We've all been up to many things lately, so I'd better get right to it.

Here is Cheyenne and I runnin around with all of the great pups we've met at Reservoir Dogs Dog Park in Phoenixville, PA. What a great park! If we go around 10 am on a Sunday there are loads of other doggies there to run with - the park is all fenced in and so clean and well taken care of that it's easy to just relax and have fun.

You can see here that the park is gianormous and you can just run and run and run!

Later in the day, after we gave mom & dad a chance to get lunch and a little rest, we took a drive to Lansdale, PA and a new doggie place that had an indoor dog park. Not as big, but it's closer for our MaPaw friends to all come out and play - and boy was there play!

We really confused everyone with our names and white fur.

Blue & Peanut added to the white fun. (Here there are Blue, Cheyenne, someone pretending he's white! Then Shiloh and Peanut is the moving Samoyed)

Mom & Dad were really tired when we got home, so we let them go to bed early so we were all ready for dog school on Monday night.

Mom has asked to post next time, so we'll give her a chance then. Roo ya later!

Redemption

Haroo again, everypup, Shiloh here again. It seems I have redeemed myself today. Mom & Dad went to a place called New York City today to visit some friends and their little bipeds - and they went to a library for a program without me (insert "Harumpf!" here). Anyroo, I was good for Cousin Katie's visit to feed us and let us out today, so mom says she has forgiven me about the great adventure I took last week. Mom was sure I'd give Katie a hard time, cuz I'm so very shy with folks I don't know very well. I have also heard some rumors about a visit to the dog park on Sunday, so I'll be extra good so I get to go there and husky romp. I've read on other blogs and email that it was a good time last week.

M.I.A. - Mommy & Shiloh

Hey there, everypup, it's Shiloh here. Mom went away this week to a convention of sibrarians and she didn't take us. I was really upset - so upset that in the middle of doggy school, I decided to skip out and go look for her. She's supposed to be at school with me, not hanging out with some dude called a Nittany Lion and a bunch of silly book people. I looked across a large field, and I crossed a busy road and I made daddy run after me til he lost his breath. I came back then cuz the lady who gives me hot dog treats was worried about me. Everything is fine now cuz both mom & I are back home where we belongs. She's not gonna do that again any time soon. Roo ya later!

Interview with Zim

Haroo, everypup! Guinness here. We have been honored by handsome Zim, of the famous Army of Four, to be asked for an interview. I would be happy to ablidge:

1. We've seen pix of Shiloh - and now Cheyenne - at school. Do you go, too?

Alas, Zimmie darling, I cannot go to school, as I am extremely protective of mom & dad while I am on lead. I am ashamed to say that I got out of hand and flunked school for disturbing and freaking out the other doggies too much. I am incredibly smart and do listen very well to my mom & dad at home. I would prefer to stay at home than go into public on lead.

2. Since you're a bee-roo-tiful GSD, do you ever feel out of place with all the Sibes at your house?

Funny you should mention that, Zim dear. I do wonder why we GSD's don't count for as much around here. Though I have herd some rumors that things may change in the future.

I am used to playing second fiddle to the more "exotic" dogs in our lives. General was an extremely handsome guy. He always got all of the attention for his gooberness, his large tongue, and his size. Then to be followed by the extremely exotic Shiloh and just what is with all of these white dogs? My brown eyes are soulful and make mommy melt. I was the cutest puppy!bah, blue eyes! And you wonder why I get upset when I am on lead! pht!

Mom, that interloper, I mean Cheyenne, is in my crate again! Do something! In the mean time, I will be here by the door protecting you and dad from other intruders. grrrrzzzzz

3. You're so regal-looking! Do you rule at your house?

I do try to keep order from my perch on the pomegranate couch. Do they listen??? NO! A grrl can only do so much, so I go off, away from the chaos, and ponder my next strategy.

4. You look like you referee when Shiloh plays with other pups. That's what Amber does, too. Have you read "Calming Signals" or does that come to you naturally?

I am famous for my ability to "split" up trouble, especially when it is in protection of my mom, dad, or precious free-bee. I've not herd of that calming thing before - mom, will you bring me that from the library, please?

5. How did you and your family get involved with MaPaw Sibe rescue?

When our dear sweet General was diagnosed with bone cancer, I overherd mom & dad say that they wanted to get another dog for me to play with after General went to the Rainbow Bridge. Friends of theirs brought Shiloh over for a play date with us - he was their foster at the time. General liked him a lot and I did too. When General passed away, Shiloh was still available and he came to our house a week later. They then decided that we had room to foster one doggy at a time and all of this craziness began with noisy Cosmos.

The rumors I was referring to earlier? Well, mom & dad decided that they would also like to foster GSDs! They decided that as our one space opens up, whoever has a dog in need from either rescue gets first dibs. Mom went on her first evaluation for Save a Shepherd today and met - can you believe a WHITE GSD! What is it with these white dogs????? He's supposedly a great dog, but very young, very large, and hard to control because he has more energy that any Sibe we know. What have they gotten me into?

Oh, Zimmie, save me from the insanity......sigh, roo is me......I no longer feel any guilt over accidentally causing mom's old laptop to crash onto the ground and shatter (I pulled it off the table when my tail caught the power cord by mistake.)

Thank roo, Zimmie, for this honor and I hope I helped my blogger friends and handsome boyfriends to see the illusive and tender side of moi.

Cheyenne's School Debut

Cheyenne did very well on her first time at doggie school.

Of course, Shiloh had to show her who was the real pro

So, Fergus, do you think Cheyenne is pretty?

Breaking News Pupdate!

Cheyenne will NOT be being adopted to the "approved shelter adopter" cuz he turned out to be a big (Mom is using words I don't feel comfortable using here) and didn't want to pay for v-e-t expenses and didn't want to come to pick her up either.

Mom, don't use those words!

So, Pippa, wanna grrlfriend? I'll be here a little while and I have a cute pink snooter. I learned that word from Zimmie. He's cute too. Zimmie, would you like a grrrlfriend? I like your snooter too.
