Milana is SMART!!!!!!


HOLA Y'ALL!!!!!!


Me and Mom have been teaching our tiny little Milana a new command. She's learning to "leave it." She's kinda funny though. When Mom lays the treat in front of her, and tells her to leave it, she turns her head away and looks up like she's ignoring it!
Me and Mom video'd it. There's a link at the end of this post!!



We got a bunch of new beds yesterday and we all got to pick out the one we want!! Mom and Dad had them made from the leftover material from the slipcovers for the couch and loveseat.
I was just thinkin'....
(picture of me thinkin')



"HEY!!! WHERE'S MINE?!?!?! and then it dawned on me...."Oh!! I sleep with MOM!!!!"
And of course I'm MUCH too busy runnin' things to get any rest in the daytime like all these other lazy mutts.
These are in Mom's office.



Krystal and Andre wanted theirs in the bedroom.





We got a new kid in the other day. Mom named him "Bingo." He's a cutie.




Somebody just threw him away in the streets in Atenas. Sheeeeeesh!!! Humans. Ptooooey!!


We got a BUNCH of pigs ears from my Aunt in Florida!!! YUUMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! And I got a new service dog vest too!! With GREAT patches!! And Mom got a vest she can use with adoptable dogs. It has patches that say "Adopt a shelter dog" and "Don't breed."

Aunt Pat and Aunt Jane!!!

Hola Y'all!!!

GUESS WHAT!!!! Aunt Pat came to visit me all the way from Savannah Georgia and she brought Miss Tica Alisha with her!!
WAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWAG!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Tica Alisha is nothing less than GORGEOUS!!!
We sure were glad to see them!! I just wish my girlfriend, Kit, could've come too!!!

We took some family portraits while Tica Alisha was here.



That's me in front and Tica Alisha behind me. Delilah is the big red one and Milana is the tiny red one!! Are we a handsome family or WHAT?????

Mom and Aunt Pat had a really good visit. Mom misses her like crazy. They're pretty good friends y'know.

Our Aunt Jane is coming to Costa Rica to LIVE!!!!!!!!!!
WAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWAG!!!!!!!!!!!!
We already got her an apartment and she will be arriving on the 4th of June!!!
Tommy is going to live with her!! She adopted him when she was here before and he's REAL anxious to see her again.

He sure is a moody guy. If he gets mad about something he pouts and won't eat. Mom has to pay him lot's of extra attention to get him back in a better mood!!

Sad news too.....Uncle Mike and Aunt Sharyn moved away. They moved to some other country. They just left today and are still in route. Mom just got a message from them saying all is going well. Flaca went with them of course.

We've had some new rescue kids come and go in the past few weeks. One was a little dog somebody dumped in front of our house. Dad named him "Jaws."





He's a happy little guy but he was pretty skinny. Mom cleaned him up, de-flead him, and de-wormed him. Now one of my doctors has him and is going to neuter him and find a home for him.

The kitten that came in the same day as Jaws is with the vet too!! Mom didn't get a photo of her but she was a real sweetie. Mom named her Pat.

OH!!! And the other kitten that was here got adopted and a few days later her brother got brought here too. So the same guy adopted him!!! Ain't it great when they can be together like that?



We finally got a new lady to help Mom keep the house clean. She comes two times a week and she LOVES dogs!!! Her name is Rosario. We haven't had anyone to help clean in months!



Mom always just cleaned the house herself but she says she is getting too old to climb under things to drag out tons of dog hair so she needs help.
Us perros try to hold onto our hair but somehow it just slips off. Mom threatens to shave us all every now and then!!
Can you just picture all of us long haired dogs BALD!!!!!!!!! WMFWB!!!!!!!!!!!

The rainy season has started so we get to play in the mud a lot. It's REAL fun where Dad planted flowers!! The dirt is all loose and it makes GREAT mud to dig in!!! Dad yells at us about digging up his flowers but Mom just tells him to plant the silly things in the FRONT yard!!

The perros and Leona had some problems three nights ago.
Leona is the Amazon Parrot Mom saved from the earthquake. Nobody ever claimed her so she lives here now. Three nights ago she jumped down off her cage while Mom and Dad weren't here and some of the perros started picking on her. They pulled a lot of the feathers out of her back. Her back and butt are NAKED now!!!

When Mom and Dad came home the living room was covered with feathers and they went screaming through the house looking for Leona. Mom found her on the glassed in porch and rushed her to the vet.
Dr. Solano did a lot of work with the parrots at the zoo so he knows birds pretty good. He told Mom that he thinks Leona will be fine. He gave her two shots and put some cream on her raw back and butt. Her wings are not broken and no bones in her body were broken. Mom says if we had been meaning to hurt her she would have been dead.

Mom says Leona is one tough ol' bird. Surviving an earthquake and now this.
Mom was pretty mad at the perros that night. She fussed at all of us LOUD!..and told us if it ever happened again she was going to pull all THEIR feathers out!!!!
I don't think we HAVE feathers but I'll betcha Mom can find something to pull out that hurts just as bad!!!
Mom knows I wasn't involved. I don't EVER bother new kids. Mom thinks it might have been Lluvia and Tommy. They're the most likely suspects.

Leona acts like nothing ever happened. When Mom got to her that night she just stepped up on Mom's hand like always and she is eating good and everything!! Mom and Dad have to put medicine on her back and butt once a day and she is getting antibiotics in her drinking water.

Y'all say a prayer for her ok?

Well...gotta go. Mom is getting ready to go out to eat to eat with Aunt Nell. Dad is getting his massage therapy tonight.

Tailwags til next time!!
BudBud who did NOT mess with Leona

Bein' Mom's Reminder



Hola Y'all!!!

Things have pretty much settled down now.
Bro seems to be doin' ok except he is still sore from the wreck.

Sis is still doin' her artwork and is turnin' out some really neat pictures.

Dad is looking into going into an internet business maybe.

Mom is concentrating on uploading photos to a stock photo sales site. She figures maybe she can sell some to help support us perros.

And of course my duties as Perro Primero have doubled. I'm tellin' ya I work harder than anyone in this house!!!

When Mom is workin' at the computer, or cleanin' house, or playin' with us perros, or whatever, the laundry buzzer growls and she just IGNORES it!!!

We all know that humans change their skins at least once a day and then they have to wash them.
Now anyone with a brain knows that you're supposed to RUN when the buzzer growls, take the skins out of that white metal box, and hang them on the line.

So as soon as the buzzer growls I run to Mom and tell her, "HEY MOM!!! The white box growled!!" Then I lead her out to the garage and supervise while she hangs the skins out.

If she ignores me I keep telling her til she finally gets the message and follows me out to the garage.

MAN!!! Humans sure can be dense sometimes y'know?
Sometimes I have to "whine" to get her to pay attention. Then I run toward the garage to show her what needs to be done.
My work is never done. sigh.................
She even video'd it so y'all could see me in action. You can see the video at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaqfhkdbDYU

I truly am the hardest working being in this house don'tcha think?

She uploaded some more photos to Bigstock today too. They sell stock photos to companies for advertising, greeting cards, and other stuff. Mom got a really good shot of Tommy doin' his yoga thing and she played around with it and made some cute stuff. She also uploaded some photos she took of the puppies a couple years ago.
So far she has uploaded 27 pictures and only 7 of them have been rejected!! That's a pretty good average I think!!

If ya wanna see 'em you can go to http://www.bigstockphoto.com/ and click on "Search Images".
Then click on "Show Advanced Options & Categories" (It's above the search box)and then type in BudBud in the photographer box and click "search." That should bring up Mom's photos.

Gotta go....I think I heard the white box growl.

Check out the video!!
