Foodies

So yeah. Thanks  all to those who called PETA and ASPCA about mom starvin me the other day. She has "seen da light" and gots us some more foodies so we won't be too starvin. An i thinks they talked to her bouts gettin me some more treats and stuffs buttt i was too busy eating my FIRST meal since last night  three months ago to care. It was heaven i tells you. If you have never been starves den you don't even know. *sniff* Makes me a *very manly dude* get all weepy. 

Anyways she gots me um.... "Pure Vita Naturals" which is not the stuffs we normally likes ta eat, butt the petstore place (not the big petstore the little one) didn't even have our "Wellness" stuff so mom hads to buy this. Its still tastes good butt mom doesn't like dat it has so much grains stuff.

Pompei has ta eat the "natural balance" stuff cause da other Purina One made him itch and itch an itch and itch some way more. Soo dat didn't make mom happy, so she went to those people was like "you BETTA let me........ "Can we please switch Pompei to the good stuff?" And dey say "Yes" so den mom ran out and got some food.

Oops dats of course, after the Peta peoples came and told her too course. :))

Um.....oh looks it time for my mid-morning-naps!

BAYL!!

PS. (Mom will be writtin my story about how I losted my eye cause aPARENTly she didn't even tell you guys how dat happen. Um...its not pretty but I hopes dat you really gets sometin powerful from my story of survival and reesilliance in a tough, tough, tough situatoin. Dat is what I was meant to do I thinks *sniffs* )

PPS (mom didn't even get me nuttin for her own birthday. She said I could either get a collar or new breaks. WELL I CAN"T HELP YOU BUSTED YOUR CAR LADY!!!?? she went wit da breaks if you didn't guess it)

Wordless Wednesday

Today I tried to look into mom's camera too see what was da big deal wit her using it allda time.

"Sorry Pompei I don't see no treats in here." 

"Hello?Anyone at home??" 

"OMD! THERE's an EYE IN HERE!" 

I always did wonder where my other eye went off too!? 

Now all I gots to figure out is how ta gets it outta there! 

Tuesday Training

Too Much Too fast.
Since taking Texas out to parks and such like, can be a difficult affair by myself, when a friend of mine brought over their dog, I decided what a great time to work on Texas's "On Leash" reactivity.
I was sadly mistaken.
I should have stopped while I was ahead, but I really wanted to work this as we hadn't had this opportunity, with a strange dog, that wasn't going to live with me.


First mistake, Pompeii and Bubbles had been out interacting with the dog earlier, Pompei was enamored and was following said dog all over the yard. So as I was getting Texas geared up (treats, clicker, harness...) they were also getting geared up. To bolt. And as soon as Texas and I attempted to leave the house, the both dash out as fast as possible. Now Bubbles and Texas feed off of each other, and while Bubbles doesn't have the same "issues as Texas", she does like to hear herself bark. So her barking set Texas off much as faster then had he been by himself. And before I knew it there was a tangled mess of dogs, and humans running every which way.


Once I corralled Bubbles and Pompeii, and got Texas back out, it was pretty hopeless. Even walking two yards (literal peoples yards) away was still too close. This part of the "reactivity" is much harder to work with, as I don't have many people with dogs that are willing to work with this. I'm beginning to think i need to start making friends with some local trainers. :)) 
Oh well. 
Back to the Drawing board.

Pompei Posts

Testing.... Testing...1..2...3....BARK!

So yes....um...this is Pompei, I know you haven't heard much from me lately, cause I have been busy, doing real work and stuffs like that. I had ta go to the grocery store and help mom buy food. THE RIGHT KIND. Den we had to go to a clothes place with mom and my other Auntie and her friend, den a piano store place, and a Zuma place, and a bookstore, and an ice cream shop place .....*phew 


"Me squished in the small space in da car" --->


The Zuma place was kind of scary at first, cause there was all these noises comin from the box things, all over the place, but then I got used to it, and it was ok. But there was like a lotta fun games for everybody! Even me...but mom was a meanie-butt and wouldn't let me. See here the people are throwin the balls and I wanted a turn too!                  

Butt now I had to do a lot of "sits" and "Downs" and "STtttaaays" and I couldn't even play wit the little kids, who kept runnin after following mom and me around. I heard mom say something like,she might have to kill someones kid today, butt...i could have magined it. 
But I got pretty bored of just sitting and downin cause it was no fun, so when mom topped lookin, I just crawled away as far as I could, and ate the snacks peoples always leave. But den mom saw me and made my leash really short. *sigh* Outside dare was a lot more stuff for humon's to do. and notin fur us dogs. Which I thoughts was stoopid. Dat is discrimination against service dogs I thinks.

Me in front of a fake hooman house.

I thinks it would make a great doggie house? Don't you?

Mom says dat school will start next week, and dat I will need to be on my "best behavior". She gaves me a "Pep" talk on Saturday, cause of my behavior wasn't "da best", and I have to be still and quiet the whooollle time. Mom thinks this may be hard cause we have lots of classes like bam - BAM- BAM! But I tole her notta worry, cause I wouldn't do anything too get her in trouble. 


hee hee hee


I sure hope we get to see dat other dog while we're dear, he was cool cause he had this harness thingy on dat mom says I'll get to wear one day! And I want to see all the ducks cause they are fun to scare outta the bushes, cause it makes mom scream cause she's not "spectin" it. And I can't wait ta see all my teacher friend peoples, cause sometimes they say I don't have to sit with mom, and I go and sit with them and lots of luvin. And then we can see the FA peoples and get lots of pets from them too! BOY! I can't wait for school!!!
