Hi friends!
As you can probably tell, I've been very busy the last few days and haven't been able to keep up with my daily diary.
Tomorrow is my big walk and I'm pumped up about it! I can't wait to meet other doggies and walk for a good cause.
Thank you all for your generous donations. They are most appreciated. If you haven't donated but would like to, you can visit my page at http://firstgiving.com/sarahound to make a donation. No amount is too small and all proceeds will go to helping animals in need.
I will be posting videos of the event over the next week - so keep your eyes opened for that.
Thank you for your support and most of all, your friendship.
Love you all!! :)

Day 25 - A walk
Today, I went for a long walk that pooped me out. When we got back home, I got a big drink of water and went to sleep on the couch.
When I woke up, I played tug-of-war with new mom for a bit. She was determined to play and wouldn't leave me alone. I've never met a human who was obsessed with tug like she is. I think she may be a dog in a human body.
Well - thats it for tonight. Will blog more later.
See ya!

Day 24 - The guests
Mom and pop had some friends over and as usual, the friends loved me! I got to show off my mad hunter skillz. Mom gave the human visitors one of my toys and had them hide it anywhere the wanted. They chose some pretty hard spaces, but I found my toys in a matter of minutes. They were really impressed and said I was smart. I already know I'm smart but its nice to hear other people say it.
The humans ate a yummy carne asada meal. I know it was yummy because all I had to do was sit at their feet and look up at them and they'd give me some!
Those humans were so ez to train. I wish my humans were that ez to train. (New-mom tells people that she's trained me but we all know better. I just play along. I have her wrapped around my little paw. She's the one who's trained!) They can be difficult sometimes. If I look at my humans, they sometimes don't give me anything! Pop usually does but not new-mom. That's the easiest thing to train humans to do but she just doesn't get it. Geeze! Oh well - she's my human and I still love her!
I didn't get to go for my walk yesterday but I got to play with lots of toys, hunt and eat carne asada instead. Yum yum!

Day 23 - The Kong
Today, new mom and pop were cleaning the house again. That always means that someone is about to come over, but no one came over. Maybe the someone is coming over tomorrow instead.
Since they spent so much time cleaning, I spent a lot of the day sleeping. And when I wasn't sleeping, I was whining for attention. Its so tough to be a neglected hound dog. :(
Knowing that my walk is just a few days away, I was determined to get some form of training in, even if the humans were too busy to play with me. When the female let me outside, I decided to lay down and wait on the patio until the nemesis of choice came to me. And it did. Or I should say THEY did.
I cant believe that I hadn't even seen them coming. It was a surprise attack! I heard a strange noise right about my head, and when I got up, my intuition proved to be right. I was in a heated battle with 3 flies!
I jumped at them and barked at them. I stood on my hind legs and tried to bite them! New mom watched this whole thing, but she never came to help. She must have been afraid. Her fear gave me the courageous edge I needed to stand up to the 3 flies as I began to tire. I had to protect my home and my family from the invasion. In my last attempt to scare them off, I lunged at the commander fly and ate him! The other flies were scared and took off. I told them "Woof - WOOF WOOF WOOF!!!!" as they left. I could tell they were scared cause they weren't flying straight and were running into things.
I had finally beaten the flies!!!
To reward my courage and amazing feat, the female human gave me a very special Kong. It was stuffed with peanut-butter coated kibble and chicken! It was one of the best stuffed kongs I've had in a long time, and in a strange way, I owe it to the flies.

Day 20 - My Athletic Physical
Today was such a looooooooooooong day!
It started off good. Pop and new-mom were gettin' ready like they usually do and when they came downstairs, they got my harness and leashed me up. I was really excited cause I thought we were going somewhere cool.
They took me to Petsmart and walked me all the way to the back where the Banfield offices are. I like going to Banfield cause I really like my doctor and his assistants. They're always really nice to me, and pet me just the right way. They always tell me I'm a good dog and give me lots of treats. I like going to the vet....
Except for today. Today was different.
Pop and new-mom not only took me to the vet, but they left me there! The doctor gave me shots called 'vacks in nations'. I don't know what a vack is , but I think my body was the nation cause they kept shootin' me up. They stuck a long stick and a short stick in my butt too. I didn't like that so I cried. But it wouldn't stop. Well, it stopped eventually but it felt like a long time. They did other stuff to me too, like put this stuff in my eyes to numb them and then tapped them with a small plastic hammer-thingy. It was the worst visit I've ever had.
When new-mom and pop finally picked me up 5 hours later, I was exhausted. I had been in a kennel most of the day and couldn't wait to get home. I heard my doctor say that he was impressed with me and I was the healthiest he'd ever seen me. But then he also told them I should get my teeth scraped and clean too. Grrr....why couldn't he keep that information to himself? I don't want my teeth scraped and clean. I bet they'll find a reason to put a stick up my butt for that too!
Oh and the reason pop and new-mom took me to the vet was to make sure I was ready for my big walk in 10 days. I don't know why they needed to take me to the vet for that. They coulda just asked me. Weird humans.
As if that's not bad enough, new-mom went to go visit those other dogs again. She came back with their hair and scent all over her. Oh well - I'm almost too tired to care.
I'm off too bed. Like I said, it's been a loooooong day!
G'nite.

Day 20 - Shopping at Chino Hills
The humans haven't taken me walking in two days (Can you believe that?!) so today, they took me some place extra special. I loved walking around that place. There were so many good aromas. I got to smell flowers, trees, plants, food, drinks, people......my senses were on overload, but in a good way.
I wish the humans would take me to more places like this! I just wish I could have been off leash so I could check out everything - especially the stores! I really wanted to go inside the stores but they wouldn't let me. :(
