Mom is finally well enough for a road trip! Healdsburg, CA

This is such a great place because we can run forever even in the streets - mom says we are all fenced in so we are safe - I just love to run everywhere!

After a long day running in the meadows of Healdsburg I'm excited for my Evening Treat!

This is my Treat Dance

The next day I'm at it again - Looking out for vermin

Carmel Valley Vacation - August

2010-08-06T09:51:00.000-07:00

Mom and dad rented a Vacation Rental in Carmel Valley that accepted dogs! http://www.vrbo.com/279453 First thing we did was check out the property - it was a forest with lots of cool stuff to smell and pee on.

They had cool Modern art around the 20 acre property.
When the walk was over...Mommy had to get all the stickers out. hehehe

Then off up the million stair to fun fun fun!

There was grass to eat, lay in and play with my brother Otis

more stairs

I had a Super Fun Time at this place and hope we go there soon again.

Los Olivo Vacation - July

2010-07-08T10:37:00.000-07:00

We stayed at a wonderful Vacation Rental in Los Olivos, CA http://www.vrbo.com/126592

Mom and dad could walk to wine tasting and they let dogs come in and watch. The wineries even gave us treats and water!

While we waited for mom and dad to taste the wine we took a nap.

There were lots of places for mom and dad to eat at that had outdoor seating and we could even sit under the table and watch the action.

Mom and Dad drove us to a town called Solvang but none us really like the hussle and lots of people they had in that town. We only went to one winery and they were super dog friendly! After that we went back to dog friendly Los Olivos!

In the morning we all walked to a coffee Shop so my parents could sober up from all the wine the night before. There was a wonderful oak tree to shade us and lots of people and bird watching.

Now back to the vacation rental - ahhh how I love this place! We had so much fun on the big lawn

Kisses for daddy

He likes this place too

Spring 2010

2010-06-30T08:02:00.000-07:00

It's finally Spring!

My Brother got a hair cut - but I won't let them touch me with the clippers.

The rain stopped....for a min.

2010-01-23T14:49:00.000-08:00

I can't believe the rained stopped and we finally get to out to play! Mommy took this funny picture of me squinting.
Otis is crazy nuts but I love to play with him.

Fun in the Sun

2009-12-17T16:29:00.001-08:00

2009-12-14T16:10:00.000-08:00

My bed is back for the moment. She took it away cause it was raining but really who cares if it gets wet...I don't. I just want my papasan pillow under the Cypress tree to stay there all year.

Check out how straight my paw is now...its been two years this month.

I'm supervising Otis on his digging job. Make sure you get the sand on the patio so mommy has to sweep it back. I make him do all the hard work.

Watch me dance!

The Longest Wait is Waiting for Dinner

2009-12-12T15:46:00.000-08:00

Done yet?
Mom and dad feed us after they have finished their meal - its a long wait while they are so casually eating. I keep an eye outside to make sure the yard is safe - this is a great way to keep me busy. If they take too long I will bow and reach up to ask it they are done...that really works sometime....sometimes not.

November and the Rain has arrived

2009-11-09T15:28:00.000-08:00

Went to Bay Point Regional Shoreline on this beautiful drizzly afternoon. We really liked this place but mom was a little worried cause Bay Point isn't a safe city. We were protecting mom by checking for strangers around each bend but there was no one there but us. We ran around and got really wet playing in the tall grasses. Next time we will have to bring daddy.

Digging holes is what I do

2009-10-22T14:57:00.000-07:00

Digging holes at the dog park is fun. I get to bury my brother.

Liam is Adopted!

2009-10-11T20:23:00.000-07:00

Mom found a home for Liam today. I was just getting used to him hangin around. Everyone at the dog park told mommy that she should have kept him but she did the right thing. I can keep Otis in control so much easier without another kid to kick around.

Liam the Dog

2009-08-21T18:05:00.000-07:00

So, Mommy wants me to post lots of Pictures of this guy Liam. She said she promises me he won't stay forever - I guess I'll put up with him a few more days.

He likes to use his mouth a lot when we play - this may scare some people but Otis and I are cool with this cause that's how we play.

He knows how to sit... nothing special

He let daddy hug him ....

He thinks he is so cute

Get off my bridge you!

New kid on the block

2009-08-20T09:39:00.001-07:00

So, Mommy brought home a strange dog named William- I really didn't mind him at first but he has become a pain. He eats everything and any thing he can get mouth around. I don't care about that but I do care that my mommy is giving him more attention then us. I mean poor Otis is sad now from lack of attention. Having this new dog around makes Otis look like a great dog!

Mom went to the store and brought back chew bones for all of us. I didn't like the one I got so I had to take William's - he let me so I don't see the problem in that, but Mommy got all mad and gave it back to him. Well, she isn't the boss of me - so I took it from him again. This time she yelled at me - so rude. The next time she wasn't looking I grab that chew bone and took it outside where no one could get me. Ha Ha

She says that he is only staying till Sunday - this better be true cause keeping one dog in line is hard enough - I don't need two dogs to dominate.

Mommy and Daddy took us somewhere super cool! Manchester Beach in Mendocino County! This means 70 degrees and the ocean!!!!

Albany Shoreline

2009-08-11T22:08:00.000-07:00

Went to the beach today and Otis had a great time in the water.

Lynn shared treats with me so I stayed close to her and mom on shore.

I am not a water dog so I stayed the hell away.

Nomad House at 107 degrees

2009-07-25T19:31:00.000-07:00

Mommy had this brilliant idea to take Otis and I to Nevada City for vacation. She was talking about it for months and finally the day came to pack up the car and head out.

The Place was really nice ....but HOT! My feet would burn unless I stood in the shade.

They brought a portable pond for Otis and there was a big pond that mommy and daddy liked to swim in .... but I am not into that.We did go for some really cool walks and there were lots of wildlife to bark at.

I slept though most of this so called vacation and dreamed of cool air conditioned homes.

I've had a Forever Home for Two Years!

2009-06-16T14:47:00.000-07:00

Otis always wants me to go in the water with him but he is Crazy so I just laugh at him from Shore.

My brother and I just love Point Isabel Dog Park. Most times we go there my favorite person shows up and this time was one of those times. Judy brought Tyler, Phoebe and Popeye so I was extra excited.

Tracy had a baby with her but I don't like kids so I stayed away from her. Tracy so wanted me to be her instant friend but thats just not how it works with me. I thought she was nice enough but its going to take more time.

You know I used to think Tyler was a scary guy and now I think he is a great friend.

I'm gonna catch me a squirrel

2009-06-13T10:19:00.000-07:00

What was that?

What was that sound? A Squirrel?

Did you hear that?Grrrrrrrr Where did that Squirrel go? Maybe Otis got him.Nope - doesn't look like he has him.
damn got away again.

We got to go to a cool new Park this week! Lots of big trees and sand to play in.

2009-05-19T09:07:00.000-07:00

I like to eat algae and grass around the pond but it gets stuck in my teeths.

2009-04-18T19:20:00.001-07:00

More Fans Come to Visit

2009-03-14T15:06:00.000-07:00

Something wonderful happened today - Judy came over and gave me kisses and hugs. She brought a friend with her named Judy. Judy said this Judy lady came all the way from Grenada to see me. Come to find out she was one of those cool people that looked for me when I was lost in Golden Gate Park a couple of years ago. I'm pretty famous you know. She is a nice lady but she brought with her a dog named Hobbit and he was so annoying. Funny to watch when he growled and snapped at Otis but then he did that to me! Crazy dog - doesn't he know I am a princess - well, he learned soon enough.

Mom and Dad are so boring sometimes

2009-02-22T17:38:00.000-08:00

Sunshine comes and goes

2009-02-22T12:48:00.000-08:00

The sunshine comes around every couple of hours - I love to run outside and soak in some rays before the rain starts again. My bridge and bed in the yard are my favorite places to chill. Otis has to stay on the other side of the bridge though... that is the rule...I make the rules.

2009-02-15T15:46:00.000-08:00

Fun Stuff

2009-02-14T15:36:00.000-08:00

Running around is the way to go!

2009-02-14T11:26:00.000-08:00

This morning Otis and I woke mom up to get us outside before the sun even rose. Cool stuff out there in the woods. We wouldn't come back for her for a long time cause we were having too much fun. I told her we were just looking for the best place to pee. heehee

Russian River Valentines

2009-02-14T11:05:00.000-08:00

We are at the Russian River Place that I loves. Lots of area to run and play with my brother. He gets really muddy but I am a good at keeping myself pretty clean - well, I won't let mommy clean me even if she thought I was a little dirty. Otis gets squirted with the hose - I don't know how he puts up with that.

2009-01-23T11:52:00.000-08:00

Rain, Rain Go Away

2009-01-23T11:32:00.001-08:00

Mommy took us to the park on in the rain the other day - she says it won't be open for a while since its been raining a lot. Bummer. Otis and I share this coveted chair to look out the window or watch mom play on her lap top. When I want to sit in the chair I just get on it and push my brother out of the way - you see its my chair - he can use it sometimes but its my chair.

The Fence

2009-01-16T11:42:00.000-08:00

They came back!

2008-12-20T11:24:00.000-08:00

Grandpa came back and he brought mom and dad with him so we think he is cool now.

They put a fence up where I like to hang out - mom said its cause I get sap from the trees on me but I think its cause they don't want me to catch that bastard squirrel. The did put a bed next to the fence so I can still be close to the trees without getting the sap on me. I guess I didn't like the sap too much - it made me itch.

Otie likes to eat mommy's socks so she put them on him - he didn't much care for it but I thought it was funny.

Whats going on here

2008-12-05T11:12:00.000-08:00

So, mom moved my bed to the sunroom. She says its cause we are barking at night since this guy showed up but I think its cause she doesn't love us anymore. We can't wake anyone up in the night anymore.

Gramma came to stay with us for a week! It was cool cause she gives lots of treats :)
But, Mom and Dad left - seems that old guy must have taken them away. Gramma says they just went on a trip to Las Vegas and will be back but it doesn't feel like they will be back.

The weather is great so I will just sleep on the bridge till they get back.

Grampa comes to visit from Canada

2008-11-25T10:52:00.000-08:00

Some guy came to visit yesterday, and he didn't leave - he is sleeping in the room next to mine and its freaking me out. I keep barking at him but he wont go away. Mommy says he name is grandpa but I say whatever get out of here. Its so obvious he is just a cat person.

October Days

2008-10-14T13:15:00.000-07:00

October 14, 2008

Check out the picture of the kitties that live with us. The black one is so nice he lets me sniff him all over and dance around him. The other one is really mean to me so I stay far away from her. She only has three legs so I think she is kinda bitter.

Otie and I have spending a lot of time hangin out near the window so we can catch the action when it happens. He does most of the barking but I get him started.

Daddy got mom a cool statue for the backyard. I think its okay cause it seems to stay out of my way. He also got her a Blueberry necklace but its not edible...I had to check to make sure.

Animal Rescue Team Taiwan

2008-09-29T14:06:00.001-07:00

September 29, 2008

Last night we had a party and a couple of my friends came over with their parents. Sugar and Karen showed up first and that's when I knew Judy had to be coming over - I always see Judy when I see Sugar and Karen.

Well, she did come over and she broughtPopeye too. Both Popeye and Sugar are from Taiwan too so they are just like family to me but Judy is my favorite.

Jenny and Antony were visiting from Taiwan and took lots of pictures of us. They are so happy we all found good places to live here in America. Popeye still needs a home but I'm sure that will happen fast since he is so cute.

My brother and Sugar get along really well and played so much. Otis was so tired he snored really loud and kept me up.

River Gardens in Duncans Mills, CA

2008-09-21T13:50:00.000-07:00

September 21, 2008
Mom, dad and Grandma took us on a long drive to Duncans Mills - by the ocean. We never got to the ocean but there was a river Otis like to go in every day. He learned how to swim and did really good. I thought would make mom proud too by swimming but when I jumped in I realized it was cold and muddy. Yuck! I swam back to shore as soon as I could. Oh well - I'll let my brother get all the swimming attention while I'm on dry ground.

Mom and dad took us to some little stores to look around and then they made us sit there while they had lunch at a restaurant. I don't like watching them eat - but when we got back they fed us really good.

Grandma like to paint a lot so we hang around to keep her company.

Point Isabel Dog Park

2008-09-09T13:33:00.000-07:00

September 9, 2008

Otis and I went to Point Isabel Dog Park today. It was breezy and cool compared to home just 45 minutes away. We had a blast running on the grass fields and playing with all the fun dogs.

Grandma comes to visit

2008-08-04T12:58:00.000-07:00

August 4, 2008
My grandma came to visit while daddy went to Boston for a week. She painted these grapes mom picked in the yard - so cool.

Harry also came to visit for the week. Otis and I think he is so fun. He is from Taiwan too so we have so much in common.

Fancy Place in Glen Ellen, Ca

2008-07-07T16:12:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad loaded the car up and off we went for a long way and up a windy hill. When we got there I saw JUDY!!! She was there with her man and my dog friends so I was so happy. I used to be afraid of her man (Tyler) but now I think he is just great for pets and treats.

Otis and I played with our friends till they had to go. I wasn't really sad like I usually am cause I know that I will see her again.

We got to play outside for a long time and I got into trouble a few times cause I was wandering off towards the road and that makes mom really nervous. Otis was barking a lot cause there were weird sounds we don't hear everyday.

We all got back in the car to go down the hill so my parents could have Indian Food. We sat at a table in the front and Otis was bad when a dog past by - he barked and bumped the table. He is so immature.

2008-07-02T15:52:00.000-07:00

I got to see Judy!

2008-07-02T15:46:00.000-07:00

Just got back from Contra Loma Park - I got to hang out with Judy - She Rocks! It was pretty hot out so we laid down in the shade for a while and it was nice. I got lots of pets and lovin from Judy so the heat didn't both me.

I heard my mom talking about seeing her on Saturday at a vacation rental - that will be so cool!

Fences Suck

2008-07-02T12:12:00.000-07:00

Mommy put up a fence around my favorite area and now I can lay underneath the Juniper Trees and get sap on my fur. I guess she doesn't like it when I look like I have mange so she blocked that area off for good. Bitch!

I didn't know about it and run straight into it the first morning. What a shock!

Weird Weekend

2008-06-23T07:15:00.000-07:00

Friday was fun - we spent extra time at the PH Dog Park and I love that park so much. Mommy brought her chair and chatted with some nice people hours and hours. Jim gave me extra treats today - I like him and some day I'll let him snuggle me but just a pet for now.

We then went home and she gave us our dinner earlier than usual - hey I don't complain I love to eat. Then She said goodbye and they didn't come back till the next morning. That was weird - she never did that before. All alone for an entire night - it was kinda cool cause we didn't have to go to bed at a set time and we could play in the backyard all night. But I got sleepy and went to bed in Otis' bed...well cause I could :) He had to sleep in the hallway but he didn't mind.

When Mommy and Daddy got home in the morning we were so happy and excited - Otis peed on the floor - he is so immature. They went in the backyard with us and we played for an hour with our toys and a ball. I was so glad to see them again.

Sunday we went to my bestest place ever Point Isabelle - I lovvvvvve that place so much. We ran as fast as we could and played with so many cool dogs. Mommy kept complaining that it was cold but I love the cool breeze and so does Otie. We didn't stay as long as last time cause mom was too cold. They drove us to some place we had gone before - it was a place mommy loves to eat. They rolled the windows all the way down and ate at the outside tables so we could watch their every move. I fell asleep cause they are kinda boring but Otis kept an eye on them the whole time.

Daddy bought a new camera and took lots of pictures of us. I got really bored with that.

That night we went to sleep with all the windows open cause there was finally nice breeze to keep us cool but Otis barked early in the morning to tell mom that the house was filled with smoke and it was yucky. She quickly shut all the windows and mumbled about California being on fire. We all went back to bed and that is the story of my weird weekend.

Just Another Day

2008-06-17T08:12:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we woke up at 6:30am - a little early for me but I woke up quick when Mom let us out to chase kitties. Otie doesn't get into the chasing kitties thing cause ...well, cause he doesn't really know what I'm chasing. They are make believe most of the time and he just can't get into it.

After lunch we went to the park and I got to play with a skinny little dog - my mom called a Whippet. Otis doesn't know that I do like to play with other dogs sometimes so he chased the skinny dog away. Bummer. Later, mommy held Otis so I could play and dance with the skinny dog and it was so much fun. Otie did eventually chase the thing away but its okay - I was done with it.

We went home and rested till daddy came home. He is a nice guy - Otis hogs his attention though when he first comes home so I just stand back and wait. I'll have his love all to myself later when he is sitting in his chair.

We had fish for dinner and I don't really like that much. I hope she doesn't feed me that again anytime soon.

New Year with a New Foot

2007-12-01T21:26:00.000-08:00

Surgery date December 1, 2007
They will break five bones and reset them with bolts and lots of metal.

They are fitting me with a booty so I can walk in the rain without getting my foot wet.

Mom gives me lots of drugs so I can sleep through the pain and dream of running around again.
Mom keeps catching me tearing my bandages apart. She retapes them with Duck tape.
I don't want to sit still for 4 weeks - so I sneak playtime in
Got Bandages off in March 2007 and my leg is a bit weak from not using it.
Now its 1 year later and I don't have a limp at all! My leg is perfect!

This is how my life began...

2007-01-02T22:09:00.000-08:00

It all started in a fruit market in Taiwan - yep Taiwan. That's why I like fruit so much. Give me any fruit and I promise you I will eat it. I was just a puppy when I was at the fruit place - I loved the fruit but the people were mean to me and didn't dig my cute looks. When I was six month old, a nice lady brought me to a place she called a "private sanctuary" where I would be safe from those mean people and I would get eat food without begging for it. Well, this sanctuary wasn't so private cause I had to live in a little tiny cage that I could barely even turn around in. There were soooo many other dogs around me and it was very loud and frustrating.

One day my front paw got caught in the wire of the crate. This was horrible cause no one would ever notice and help me release it. I pulled and pulled but all I did was make it hurt like crazy. I learned to live with my foot hurting stuck in the cage but one day someone did notice and released me from the wire, but my broken bones had already healed in a twisted way so now I couldn't stand without a limp.

I lived here for a few years before I was noticed by The Animal Rescue Team Taiwan. I guess my pitiful looking foot got their attention. They named me Iris and said they found a family that would want to keep me forever! I was so excited to get out of that cage but they stuck me in another one and said I would have to go on a long plane flight. I said "whatever just get me to a loving home".

COMING TO AMERICA

Well, I went on that long long ride to this place they call America and I was really scared. This was all unknown to me. I was greeted by a nice lady named Judy who took me home. She told me that the family that was to take me fell ill at the airport and would not be back for me. I was fine with that as long as I could stay with Judy - she is really nice.

She brought me into her home and though I was scared, I really liked it here. The house was nice and warm and there were lots of toys I could collect and keep in my bed with me. Watch this video they made of me

But, 5 days later she said she had to bring me to a new foster person to care for me till I get a new home. What? No! I won't have this. I planned for three days on how I could escape and get back to Judy. When I found my moment I ran like never before. After about a block or two I realized that Judy lives so much further than I thought. That 45 minute ride in her car was really far away. So, I found a nice place to sleep for the night called Golden Gate Park. Lots of grass and trees for protection from the rain. The next morning when woke up I was so hungry and tired from being so cold. I better not leave this place - maybe she will come find me.

I saw this poster so I knew she was looking for me but I didn't know where she was. The park was so big and she wasn't anywhere. I ate a lot of grass and drank the water from the ponds but I was so hungry. 41 days later while I was stealing some food from a back yard, some scary people cornered me and tryed to catch me. I think this was the scariest thing in my whole life. They said they were there to help me but I didn't think so. They took me to a place they called the San Francisco Animal Care and Control and gave me food. I wasn't there long before Judy came to get me. She is my hero and I don't ever want her to leave me again.
She gave me a bath and held me close. I felt the most comfort I have ever felt. I won't let this go again.
She said I was only 17 pounds so she will fed me and fed me so I would get to be 35 pounds again. I had no problem with that.

HOME AGAIN

I got really comfortable really fast this time. Four months past by really fast and I felt like this was where I wanted to be. Okay, there was a guy named Tyler there and he scared me a little but that was okay as long as I could be with Judy. Tyler tries really hard to be my friend and he is but I just won't come really close to him. Its just not gonna happen. I don't much care for men - they were always the meanest to me growing up so I'm not going to take a chance.

It turns out that Judy rescues many dogs and finds forever homes for them. I just figured I was staying here for good just like Phoebe and Boomer but that wasn't the case.

In June I met Robert and Jennette. They were okay but if she thinks I'm leaving with them she is so wrong. Whew, they only stayed a few hours and then left.

But then they came back, again and again. Judy even took me to their house a few time and I thought it was alright but like I said I'm not going anywhere.

Well, almost a month later, June 26, Judy brought me to Jen and Rob's house and left....left me. I couldn't believe it. I managed to let her out of my sight. Now I'm screwed. Well, I'm not leaving my crate till she gets back I thought. She didn't come back though.

Jen and Rob tried so hard to get me to like them....well, I will like the Jen lady but not the Rob guy cause I don't like men and that's just that.

Two weeks later I was adapting really well to my new home but I still missed Judy. She showed up at the house one day and I thought she was going to bring me home. I was excited and happy. But, Judy left. I cried all night. Jen cried too. It would be October before I saw her again.

The next couple days were difficult but I got over my sadness and was happy with my new family. I really liked the cat that lives here named Chester. He gives me kisses every morning but doesn't really like to run and play. There is another cat here but she scares me and chases me. I avoid her.

In July my new parents brought home a friend for me and said that he would be staying. This is good since I already let him know who the boss is and he said he was cool with that. His name is Otis and he is a little ditsy but he likes to play with me and lets me win at tug of war all the time. One thing I noticed it that Dad hasn't hurt him and Otis sits in his lap. I think I will make more of an effort to be friendly to dad. Turns out he is a great guy!

When August came mom took me to the dog park for the first time. I was really scared but all the dogs were pretty nice to me and Otis protected me from the ones that wanted to play too rough. Otis sure comes in handy. There are really nice people there and they give me treats all the time. I won't let them pet me but I'll take their food anytime. Its nice to be able to run around without a leash on. I like to sniff every corner and roll in the grass.

There is another park we go to that doesn't have grass but its still pretty nice. It gets pretty hot here though so we can't stay long. I finally got to see Judy again. She showed up to the park with some foster dogs. I saw her coming from a block away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCD79kZe2xc I was okay about her leaving this time cause I know I will see her again and I love where I live now.
