SIGH.... I guess I must come clean now that my scheme has been EXPOSED by Murph the Dog and Buster. I also get the feeling that most of you think the SuperDALE = chickenDALE, and I just can't have my buddies think that of me.

Murph the Dog has exposed my plan..... he knew right from the beginning that:

ChickenDALE = SmartDALE = SuperDale = Miss Sunshade

And Buster, he knew ever since day one that:

Aspiring actressDALE = Miss Sunshade

HERE IS THE PROOF:

Mom came home tonight and I greeted her *ahem*.. upstairs.... I was doing my usual "chickenDALE act" to try and get her to carry me downstairs. However, mum was a little different tonight. She brought my harness up when she came to greet me. I thought oh great, she's gonna put my harness on, carry me downstairs and then take me out. So I eagerly helped to try and get my harness on quicker........

But, for some reason, my chickenDALE act DIDN'T WORK!!! I couldn't believe it!! She put my harness on, and told me to walk down those steep steps by myself!! I tried to act like I was really scared, you know the whole chickenDALE thing, but she didn't fall for it this time .... (sometimes, that woman is just as headstrong as me) Anyway, so I thought what the heck, I might as well just do them stairs since my scheme was already exposed...

Soooo...

(notice no treats, no help, no runners ?)

So I did those stairs, albeit a little shaaaaaa-ky since I haven't done them for quite a while. Yup, you guessed it. It was all an ACT!! Yes, I can do those stairs if I reeeeeeeeeeeally HAVE to. However, I vowed to myself the day mum stopped the crazyDALE from pinballing down those stairs that I would make her pay for ending my fun (I really enjoyed pinballing!). So I decided to act like a chickenDALE, get her sympathy, and MAKE HER to all the work!! Hoomans are very predictable animals, my mum is no exception. She fell for my scheme, and started carrying me down "those" stairs. That was until my scheme got exposed tonight......

I just hope that my chickenDALE act will keep working even after my scheme is exposed.... *mum's not talking to me*

Anyway, after I was made to go down those stairs, I decided to go check out what important things mum just had to do on a Friday night leaving the poor me stranded .......um.. I mean all alone upstairs. (mum's note: she was downstairs when I left!!)



I found an ALDO bag, mum seemed frantic when I picked it up, so I knew I had picked the right bag to destroy!!





LAST NOTE:

Since I have such a hard time saying NO to dogs (ahem.. evident by the # of boyfriends I have), I have added three late comers to our X-mas Card Exchange. Please check the final list of 61 here:

My Favourite Story - The chickenDALE (part 2)

Ok, since you guys all seemed to want a sequel to the original chickenDALE story with a particular video.... I have decided to invite the "chickenDALE" (NOT the SuperDALE ok?) back to finish the rest of the story with that particular video... (be patient....)

If you are just reading this, you may want to read Part 1 of My Favourite Story before reading on.

Since I ....umm ....... I mean the chickenDALE got stuck again upstairs, mum and I took the opportunity to film the whole story.

The chickenDALE's caretaker has tried putting treats down on every step to encourage the chickenDALE to go down. In this case, the treats were of dehydrated chicken - one of the chickenDALE's favourite!



Did the chickenDALE go down??

Did the chickenDALE even look like she cared about those yummy treats?? I personally think the chickenDALE's head was too occupied with how she was going to get down that treats no treats made no difference. Wondering about where those yummy dehydrated chicken treats ended up?? Well I......... oops...nono, the chickenDALE ended up with ALL that freebies!!!

The caretaker also tried putting no skid runners down,



Did the chicken get kicked out of the chickenDALE??

The runners that were put in this video did not have the rubbery non-skid thingy on the bottoms, however, attempts with the non-skid runners before have all failed.

SOOOOO...... the caretaker was the chickenDALE's only hope of ever setting foot on the first floor....

However, the chickenDALE has a very annoying habit. You will see that the doors upstairs were all closed in order for filming to go smoothly. Normally, when the chickenDALE starts whining and indicating she wants to go downstairs, the caretaker would go and try to help her. This doesn't mean the chickenDALE cooperates. The dignity issue that comes with the DALE part of this unique hybrid sets the chickenDALE off running whenever the caretaker tries to pick her up. If the caretaker stops pursuing the chickenDALE, the chickenDALE then goes back to the staircase opening and starts whining again. So what always ends up happening is a big cat and mouse chase between the caretaker and the chickenDALE until the chickenDALE is eventually caught!!

AND THEN.....

Notice how proficient the caretaker was at putting her "slippers" on in the beginning?? The chickenDALE of course is soooo used to the pampering, she never struggles in her caretakers arms.

Thanks to the chickenDALE, her caretaker never has to work out. Just look at this!!




So, the chickenDALE lives happily ever after!! As for her caretaker, well, the story is not about her...

THE END

My thoughts:

First of all, I believe the caretaker should be VERY thankful of the workout opportunity the chickenDALE presents her with everyday. It saves her a lot of time and money from not having to go to the gym.

I also think this chickenDALE just "thinks" that she can't do those stairs. You must understand, this chickenDALE has a very complex mind. She thinks A LOT, often waaaay too much, and sometimes, she is her own worst enemy without knowing ..... just like last time when she held her poop for 6 days.... Well, that's another story for another time!!

As of now, the SuperDALE who is NOT the chickenDALE says Good-Bye and thank you for reading!!


LASTLY:

Thank you everyone for participating in the X-mas Card Exchange, it's gonna be so much fun and I can't wait to get my cards!! If you have missed it this year, well, there is always next year!!

My Favourite Story - The chickenDALE (part 1)

I would like to share with you my favourite bedtime story.


The story goes like this:

Once upon a time, there was a crazyDALE whose name we will not mention.

She used to FLY down these slippery wooden stairs whenever she hears someone at the door.



There were times when she would slip and miss a few steps at a time and hit the wall, then bounce off the wall down few more steps, then bounce off the other wall, and miss a few more steps until she gets to the bottom. If you have played one of those pinball machines, you would know what I'm talking about.

The crazyDALE's caretaker got very worried because the crazyDALE had a bad leg. She worried the crazyDALE might hurt herself. So the caretaker started blocking off the entrance to the stair way once the crazyDALE was upstairs. By doing so, every time the crazyDALE needed to go downstairs, she would be accompanied by her caretaker.

As time went on, the crazyDALE disappeared, and a new hybrid emerged.......

MEET,





The chickenDALE whose name we will again not mention has somehow convinced herself that the only way to get down these stairs is for all 64 lbs of meat to be in the arms of her caretaker. Otherwise, she makes those sounds that chickens make when they're being slaughtered......

Sometimes, the chickenDALE does give it a good try to go down those scaaaaawie stairs....

Unfortunately, her caretaker always ends up having to carry her down.

What's really interesting is that the chickenDALE is only chicken with the stair way that goes from the first floor to the second floor, and she never has problems going "up". She is also completely fine going down the stairs from the first floor to the basement. The surface material is completely the same with the two stairways.





I personally think the chickenDALE has a mental block. Since her caretaker never had to block the stairway down to the basement or carry her down those stairs, the thought of her not being able to do those stairs never came across her mind. Same thing with going "up" the stairs with both stairways. It's only going down from the second floor to the first floor that the chickenDALE has a problem with because that's when the stairway was blocked and she had to be helped down. I guess this is the reason why those hoomans say dogs are very specific animals??

Anyway, this is my favourite story because it makes me feel good. I mean, a SuperDALE like me would never make noises like THAT!! I know that chickeDALE looks like me, and I don't know why the crazy lady was calling her my name, but I can assure you that, it was NOT me you saw in the videos!! BELIEVE ME!
