THE GOODIES ARE HERE! THE GOODIES ARE HERE!!

YIPPEE!!! We are doing the GOODIE DANCE!

Mommy found the box on the door as we were leaving for our migration. She brought the box in and put it on the floor in front of us and then it was a free for all. We knew right away it was for us because it smelled so good! Max sniffed it, and then ran circles around me with excitement as I got to business opening it. Of course, mommy had to pull out that darned flashy again, but I was so distracted I didn’t care. I just had to find the goodies in the box! I held it with my paw and RIP, BITE, RIP, TEAR, and it was slowly opening. Finally mommy’s flash annoyed me, so I carried the box away to continue in peace. Even daddy was getting excited. I doubt he will roll his eyes at mommy anymore!

Finally I got a hole into the box, and stuck my head inside to see what was in there. I still couldn’t quite get it out, so mommy had to take the box and help me. Dumb Max tried to stick his nose into it too. We were very careful not to bite mommy. I learned my lesson on that long time ago.

We were so excited, we wanted to sniff, taste and see everything as it came out. Daddy had to hold us back, so mommy could use her dumb flashy

thing again.

There was a BIG Pink bone (I have never seen one of those), a spotted fluffy toy (looks like the ones on the trees that I want to chase), funny looking noses to chew on, fruit treats in a bag (Max needs those with his BAD BREATH) some yummy smelling sticks and a yellow bouncy thing.

Now I have seen one of those yellow bouncy things before, but it is hanging on a string in mommy’s big green machine safe place. Mommy set the yellow thing aside, thinking I wouldn’t play with it. But I went over and picked it up. So mommy had me drop it in her hand, and when she dropped it, it bounced all over. What fun, I have never had a toy that goes in the air by itself. It was so much fun jumping in the air to catch it and running after it. I really impressed mommy when I put it in her hand again. She told me it is extra special, cause it was Busters toy that he gave specially to me. Thank you BUSTER!

The BIG Pink bone squeaks and makes another noise too! Imagine my surprise when I picked it up and heard a moooooooo sound! That intrigued me. Where is it coming from? So I am trying my hardest to find the source. And since it makes mommy laugh, I like it!

After we got the goodies, we went for our migration. Right in the middle of that, I spotted 2 furries running around a tree. Mommy already saw it and got off her bike to stop Max from running at them. Max barked until mommy told him to be good. But I have to admit, those furries really get to me. I jumped and leaped and pulled and lunged. Much to my dismay, Daddy is a lot stronger than me, and wouldn’t let me go check it out. Those furries were running and running all over that tree. It was so exciting to watch! All of a sudden a really really big bird landed nearby. The furries stopped running and disappeared. With all that excitement, we were anxious to get back home to our goodies. Max was so excited about those furries that as soon as we got home, he chomped down on the brown furry toy we got. He really had a good time trying to pull the tail off it. And when it squeaked, it made him more happy!

Mommy gave us each one of the berry snacks before napping for the night and said we can chew on the funny noses tommorrow after we get some rest. Daddy had to hide them from us. This was the best day EVER! Mommy said we got more excited than the day the jolly fat man in the red suit (who WE never saw!) brought us gifts. Persephone and Buster are the BEST shoppers! They must be spoiled pups!

ALL IS BACK TO NORMAL!

Mommy returned to the The Pack yesterday! Daddy was still at church, so we got to sniff her out, to make sure she was well, and hadnt been approached by any other pack. All we smelled was pine needles and lots of food and other females. Although, she remained very calm when she let us out of our crates, we could both sense she was very excited to see us.

It was quiet in the house while she was gone. Except on Friday night, that friend of Daddy's came back over and stayed awhile. And they did the unbelievable. He sat in Mommy's chair!!! And he and Daddy stared at that square box over my bed for a long time. I knew mommy wouldnt be happy about it, but Max and I promised to not say anything.

Once Mommy and Daddy were home together, the house got noisy, and we knew all was normal again. Mommy had a lot to say and Daddy just nodded his head. Then mommy got up and went out the front door. Max and I started hollering "Stop, come back, we cant protect you out there". Then we saw her friend in front of the house talking to her. Mommy was smiling, so we knew she was ok, and went back to resting. Shortly after that, Mommy and Daddy went out again, without us. So we waited patiently for them to return to the pack. When they did, they smelled like hamburgers and french fries! How dare they!!

When Daddy took us outback, Mommy came too, so I had to go protect her from that that boy dog behind us. I ran to the fence to warn him to STAY AWAY, but mommy got between me and fence and told me to leave. I wasnt sure if she knew what she was doing, so I circled around and tried it again and again. Finally I figured she was going to be ok, and relaxed. But I stayed close to her and kept an eye on the fence, to make sure he didnt plan a surprise attack. Mommy and Daddy seemed totally unaware of the danger as they tossed a toy back and forth, while Max ran around them. It was the final straw when I witnessed them cheering when dumb Max caught the toy and ran with it. I knew I could really show him up, if I caught it in the AIR! Any dumb dog can pick up a toy off the ground. I gave Mommy the signal and she tossed the toy up in the air, and I jumped and AHHHHAAA... Princess Sasha caught it. That was enough work for me, so I layed it down and walked off. They got the idea, dont mess with THE PRINCESS! Much to my dismay, Max caught on and had to top me. So when mommy was petting him, he ROLLED ONTO HIS BACK!!! He has NEVER done that! It was my own trademark that mommy and daddy loved. But HE DID IT!! I could not beleive my eyes! And to make it worse... mommy was so excited, and petting him. Even daddy let out a cheer. I tried to get into the petting, but they just nudged me away. I will have to come up with something cuter!

My thought chance came up when we went for a walk. Max is still a dump puppy on the leash. Mommy told Daddy her shoulder hurt, so I got to walk with mommy. As soon as we got to the park, I saw it! The squirrel! Mommy tried to distact me, but too late. I tried to nudge mommy out of the way, so I could get to it, but instead hurt her tummy. Dang it, I blew it again! But mommy didnt stay mad for long, and the squirrel disappeared. The rest of the walk was slow and calm. Some man and his little boy came over and petted us. They have a little puppy like us, and wanted to pet the big dogs. The man knew exactly how to pet my ears, and I liked him a lot! Dumb Max just sniffed them, then got more interested in the poop in the grass. Such a BOY!

After we got home, we rested again. It is so hard to be CUTE all the time! There is a bunny from another blog, that did the Bunny 500 this weekend (I peaked on her blog). So after mommy and daddy shut their door for the night, I tried to start playing. They heard me, and daddy came out and said its too late to play, go to sleep. So I did. Quiet end to a PERFECT day.

BARK!- Sasha the Princess

PS-- Someone asked if I would let Max blog? I dont want his dirty 'ole paws on my page, but I bet mommy will allow him on sometime, just to put me in my place again! Dumb boy....
