Tagged!!!!!!

I received a tag from Patches, one cool puppy and younger brother to Sparky. I have to tell everyone 8 facts about myself!

First off...here are the rules: List eight ( 8 ) random facts about yourself. Tag eight people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them). Let them know they've been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blogs

1. When my mommy goes to work in the morning, I get to sleep on her bed. I haven't been in my crate for a long time. (Mommy's thinking about putting the crate away).

2. I love sleeping on my new bed on the couch. It's very comfy and keeps me warm.

3. I know where mommy keeps the treats, so I scrape at the closet door until it mommy comes and gives me treats. (I have her trained so she comes right away and gives me treats)

4. If there is any garbage in the bathroom waste basket, I sneak in and try to eat it. Those tissues are just so yummy!

5. When I want a belly rub, I'll roll around on the floor and grunt like a pig. Mommy and daddy always come over right away!

6. Daddy has to hide when he puts socks on his feet, cause I want to eat them and get very angry when he won't let me.

7. When mommy comes home, she has to give me kisses on my cheek and THEN I will kiss her, then she has to give me more kisses.

8. I love to be chased around the house, sometimes mommy will try and trick me and run the other way. Of course, I'm too smart and always get away, hee hee

I think most of the doggies have been tagged, but I'm gonna tag eight doggies anyway. If you've been tagged already sorry!
So, I tag
Pugsley, Buster, Cricket and Daisy
Amici
Sweets
Katie & Zorra
Butchy & Snickers
Jackson
Girasol

Agatha & Archie and Hercules tagged me to tell what my middle name means. Hercules was VERY CLEAR about the rules, so I will listen to him and post the rules.

1. Post the rules before you give the facts. (Listen up Pups, these are the Rules!!)

2. List one fact that is somehow relevant to you and your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.

3. When you are tagged you need to write your post using your middle name and facts about it.

4. At the end of your post choose one dog to tag for each letter of your middle name. Be sure to let each puppy know she/he has been tagged. I'm not sure who has been tagged, so I tag EVERYBODY!!!!!!

I don't have a middle name, so instead I'm gonna use the name mommy always calls me. Bubalah, it's a term of endearment in Hebrew, I don't know why she doens't use a term of endearment in Italian? Mommy is weird, what can I say.

It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff ~ by Peter Walsh

Tagged Again!

Flossikens tagged me, so I'll add some MORE facts about me.

1. I love to eat ants, once an ant got stuck on my lip and mommy had to get it off. She was really grossed out. As soon as it fell on the ground I picked it up and ate it, I made sure it went straight down to my tummy.

2. All my neighbors know and LOVE me, even the kids love me. They all say hi and give me lots of attention. Except for those evil dog haters who make mommy and daddy pay that STUPID DOG FEE.

3. If you don't know already, mommy and daddy have to pay $100.00 a month fine for having me. Some people don't like doggies. I wish I could pee and poop on all their faces.

4. I once destroyed a stuffed toy in five minutes. By destroy I mean.... ripped it open DIGESTED the stuffing. I get awful sick, but I love it.

5. I need to be aware of all changes in my house. If mommy or daddy changes something without letting me know I get very angry, bark at, and try to get rid of the new "thing" in our condo.

6. I like to lay on the vents in our condo. I like the heat in the winter and the A/C in the summer.

7. We had this blog for a long, long time, but we didn't know about DWB. So we opened a MySpace page, but that was silly. Mostly just pictures and all these weird people trying to add us as friends. So we started using this blog again and found DWB. I shut down the MySpace page, started blogging, and the rest is HISTORY.....

8. When I'm not in the crate or my mommy's room, I bark when I hear someone near our door I bark,. Except when it's mommy or daddy. I can tell when mommy or daddy are at the door, I'm smart like that.

9. I used to be kept in a crate when my parents were not home, now I get to stay in my parent's room. They put the pillows, socks, and underwear away because I will eat anything I find. I never mess up the bed, in fact I like to sleep on the bed because it smells like mommy and daddy.

10. When my parent's leave I get a kong filled with peanut butter. That's another one of my favorite foods.

11. I have my own Zip Top Tote. Daddy bought it for me. My name is on it!

12. Most of the time I pee and poop out in the woods, accross the parking lot. But if it's late at night, early in the morning, or if I JUST have to pee I pee on the WizDog out on the porch. It works, it keeps the pee off my paws and looks nice out there - that is when mom removes the old paper and actually CLEANS!!!!!

OOOOH mommy has a question..............

Hi, Karen here, Balboa's mommy. Some of you have other words instead of "comments" at the end of your posts, like, "licks", "poops", or "grunts". How did you do that? I just can't figure it out......

Pawsome facts about me AND other things

1. My first name was Ulysses, but daddy took one look at me and said I look like a Balboa.

2. My favorite toy is the Hedgehog ball. I just love to run around the house with it in my mouth while mommy tries to catch me, but I'm just to fast for her! See the pic of me with my favorite toy?

3. I still squat when I pee, I see other guys lift their legs, but I like to be different.

4. I love to sit on my mommy's lap on the porch and watch the leaves blow, birds fly around, and cars pass by.

5. The only time I get really mad and show my "I mean business" teeth is when mommy tries to file or cut my nails. I don't bite, but I have to show my anger somehow!

6. I eat lots of healthy food, but my favorite snack is cheese. I LOVE CHEESE. I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR CHEESE, well, except .....see #7

7. I refuse to come when called. I can sit, stay, down, roll over, shake, wait, up (couch), okay (go down the 5 stairs), BUT I WILL NOT COME WHEN CALLED. Mommy says we are going to be working on that, Yeah we'll see! Don't hold your breath mommy!

8. Oh man this is embarrasing, but..... I have one inverted nipple, the rest are fine. It always gets dirty and mommy has to clean it.

9. I don't like taking baths, but I deal with it for treats. I try to watch mommy or daddy when they take a shower or bath. I'm just amazed they don't try to get out like me.

.

10. I stick my face on my mommy and daddy's lap until I get their food. Even though mommy gives some of her food with my food, I still want more. I'm a growing boy dude! CAN YOU SEE ME?

11. When mommy cleans my ears or around my eyes, I HAVE to smell what she removed. It's an obsession I just CAN'T break. - Gross, I know.

12. Finally, I realized that I lay down very similar to my girlfriend Fig, check it out. Isn't awesome. You have to look real close to see my other leg, but it's there! We both lay down with one leg out and one leg under, but Fig is a lot cuter!
I FORGOT TO CHECK WHO HAS BEEN TAGGED BEFORE I WROTE THIS, SO......... IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TAGGED. GUESS WHAT - YOU'RE IT!

OTHER THINGS

Well, mommy and daddy are back from camping. They had an alright time. Mommy waited a while to book her camping spot, she thought all the spots were the same. But the one they got was right next to the bathroom and had no privacy at all. They were very upset and it kinda ruined the reason they went camping - privacy and relaxation. It serves them right for going without me!

So mommy booked for labor day (she can always get a refund if they decide not to go). They walked around and checked out all the other sites. They got a nice camping ground and mommy is kinda thinking about bringing me. Her and daddy have to talk.

Anyway, I had a good time at Marta's Vineyard. I did miss mommy and daddy, but I got LOTS of attention. Mommy made sure that they added the TLC package on which gives me even more time with the staff.

I've been taged by Bella

I've been tagged by Bella to tell 7 Pawsome facts about myself. It's been a busy weekend, so I'll post on Tuesday.

Being Silly

Before I get to the silly pics, mommy and daddy are going camping this weekend. I can't go so I'm a little upset, I always wanted to go camping. I begged my mommy to let me go with them. Mommy and daddy are scared that I might run away, since I don't come when called, I might run off to find something cool and then get lost.


So I'm going to Marta's Vineyard, I get my own room and lots of attention. I will miss my mommy, since I always have to be near her, so I might be a little scared and mad for a while. I just might not eat my food the whole time, or at least until I get really hungry. My parents are leaving on Friday and will pick me up on Sunday. Maybe next time I can go with them. I guess I should work on coming when called so they will feel safer about bringing me along. Well, maybe I'll think about it.



OH and most doggies think I look like Stitch. That's cool. He's funny, naughty and cute, JUST LIKE ME.

So, I've been tagged by Goofy to post silly pics of myself. Well, we had fun going through all my photos and picking the ones that were the silliest.

Here's daddy tickling my tummy, I'm laughing so hard.

Another time daddy is tickling my tummy,

my ears got pushed back so I look like an alien.


Me TRYING to sleep under pillows on my mommy and daddy's bed.
Me acting silly when my Aunt Janet was visiting.
I was ripping apart a bag and making funny faces.

When I was a baby, mommy and daddy tried to get me used to

being carried around in a bag, but after a while I got to BIG.

Mommy says I look like a sausage in this pic. She likes the fat rolls on my legs. That's not nice. I could point out her areas of fat, there are plenty, but I won't be that mean.

Now, I'm tagging..... Fig my sweety, Tad, and Sherman, Lola and Penny. I hope none of you have already been tagged. I wish I could tag everybody, I hate leaving people out.

You've been tagged

Since I've been tagged by Tad AND since Fig posted a pic just for me.... I found a picture that fits both of my needs.

Believe it or not, with all the pics mommy takes of me, this is the only one of me upside down?!?!?! PLUS, It's very similar to Fig's pic. Mommy said not to put this up since there are little kids looking at the blog and people might be offended, but aren't I so handsome!

Now I tag...... Amber Mae, Ike, and Jainie.........I hope you all haven't been tagged already........ SO ..... YOU'RE IT!!!!!!

So, what do'ya think sweet Fig?
