It's been a couple weeks since I posted. I apologize for that, but I have been very busy doing my taxes. Today is tax day!!

Most people don't realize that dogs do taxes, but we do! We don't just laze around taking up space like cats...we contribute!

For the past year, I have been saving up a little piece out of each of my Milk Bones to donate to the "cause." And today is the day that I gather them all up and get ready to send to the IRD. No, that's not a typo. Dogs send their taxes to the Internal Revenue Dog.

You've probably heard the saying "Top Dog," but I bet you never knew who he was. He's the Internal Revenue Dog. The Dog that collects all the taxes and decides how to spend them. I sure hope he doesn't spend all my Milk Bones in one place.

Just in case I calculated wrong, this year I put a whole Milk Bone right on top. Because it's better to overpay than underpay.

So to all those paying taxes...good luck today!! I feel your pain :-) Now for a well deserved nap!!

I hear today is April Fools' Day! This shall serve as a warning to all of you to be on the look out for jokesters that may try to throw you off your game.

I, on the other hand, am ready for any tricks that come my way. I am also planning a trick on my cat, Snickers. I have been working on this plan for weeks and I am so happy that the day is finally here to execute it!

My people leave a laser pointer on their nightstand and that stupid cat loves to chase it. The first part of my plan is where I go onto the nightstand and step on that laser pointer. I will point it right at the wall so that stupid cat will run right into it!

Next, I will spill some flour and roll around in it so that I am all white. I will make spooky sounds and Snickers will think I'm a ghost!

Finally, when I shake off all that flour, I will sneak up behind her and bark, "April Fools!!!!"

After today, I think that cat will finally show me some respect. And if It doesn't work, I'll just run under the bed. She doesn't usually chase me once I'm safely under there.

Happy Joking Day!

I heard my people talking and I hear that I get to go to Palm Springs tomorrow. I'm a little excited, but at the same time, I'm a little scared.

I am pretty sure that was the hot place that I went to once and burned my feet. I was having a good old time running around on the pavement and enjoying that big bright thing in the sky. It was glorious!

Well, I went back inside, took a little nap and when I woke up and tried to stand up, I fell right back down! I couldn't stand at all! It was horrible! I heard my people say that I burned my feet on the hot pavement that day!

So the thought of going to that place again scares me a little bit. I am pretty sure my people will remember that and take care of me because I might forget once I start running around having a good time :-)

If you have dogs and it's hot where you are, remember to protect their little feet. We don't think about such things...we just have fun. I am not sure why I even remember that time...but since I was thinking about it, I thought I'd share.

Happy Spring!

My cat told me that cats are smarter than dogs. I disagree. Her first argument went something like this: Cats clean themselves and dogs have to depend on someone else to give them a bath. What a stupid argument!

First of all, what is so great about being clean? I could clean myself if I want, but I've seen the cat choking on hair balls on several occasions. How smart are cats now?

Also, dogs know a lot about someone by sniffing them. If everyone gets clean every day, then they all smell the same. I say, be yourself! Let your own scent out! It's liberating :-)

Second, my cat says they are smarter because they poo in a box and don't have to depend on someone letting them outside. This argument is also flawed because I have seen my people have to clean that stupid box. Cats are not self sufficient. Then again, I don't want to complain too much because sometimes I like to go over to that box for a yummy treat (but I digress).

Finally, aside from the clean thing and poo thing, dogs are smarter because they have a job! Even dogs without vests have a job to protect the house when their people are gone. While cats just sit on their perch, dogs are busy securing the perimeter and keeping their people safe.

And that, my friends, is why DOGS are smarter than stupid cats. 

Over the weekend, out here in California, we went through what my people call "Day Light Savings." That's just a fancy phrase for "you get one hour less sleep." I do NOT like that concept.

Before you people start to tell me that "it's only an hour," you fail to remember that because one human year equals seven dog years, that one hour turns into something like a whole week for me!

Some of you may say that I will just get it back in the fall, but I am not really a "look to the future" kind of dog. I live in the present and presently I am exhausted!

Sure, I sleep a solid 14 hours every day (give or take 8 hours), but yesterday, it was only a 23 hour day and where did that hour come from??? My precious sleep time!

I am going to work hard to make up for that hour because I just don't feel like myself. Or perhaps I'll look in my people's cupboards after they leave for one of those silver and blue cans with a red cow on it that I hear helps keep me awake.

Ok...back to bed now. Zzzzzzzzzzzz...
