Being a GOOOOOD gurrrrrl is GOOOOOD

I realized something today - SOMETIMES, IT IS NOT BAD BEING GOOOOOOD. IT CAN DO YOU A LOT OF GOOOOOOOOD, AT TIMES!


It is GOOOOOD to be GOOOOOOD because I get to go to lots of places

Chapters for example,


I am calm, I stay by mum's side while she flips through pages and pages of advertisements (did you know that 77% of magazines are made up of ads??).


Yes it gets BORING sometimes, but I stay GOOOOOOOOD, because being with mum is better than stinky-sitting.


Sometimes, I stay so GOOOOOOD I fall asleep,



It is GOOOOOOD to be GOOOOOOD because I can tell hoomans what to do with my eyes and they will listen because I am GOOOOOOOD

For example, here, I am telling them to stop pumping gas because I'm so BORED!


And here, I am telling them to HUUUUUURY UP, and get moving!


And here, I am telling them exactly which way to go.



It is GOOOOOD to be GOOOOOOD because I get to tell the hoomans exactly what I want

For example, I want to get out of the car,



It is GOOOOOD to be GOOOOOD because I don't get blamed for scratching the car

For example, I want to get out,


And the hoomans can't blame me for it because I am GOOOOOOD,



It is GOOOOOOD to be GOOOOOOOD because I get to go tour EA - Electronic Arts



This is where videos games like these are made:



I get to see the cooool EA cafeteria because I am GOOOOOOD,



I get to walk through cool hallways,



I get to see cool spiral stairways, (looking down from the top)



It is GOOOOOD to be GOOOOOD because when I get scared of see through glasses on either side of the bridge


I just have to give out one cry, and help comes my way because I am GOOOOOOOD!

It is GOOOOOD to be GOOOOOOD because I get to check out working cubicles


Lie down in whichever cubicle I want,


And make myself at home in whichever cubicle I want because I am GOOOOD!




It is GOOOOOD to be GOOOOOD because I get to steal caramel candies



It is GOOOOD to be GOOOOOD because I don't need to pawtograph a waiver


I get to use the EA soccer field,



And the EA beach volleyball court because I am GOOOOOOOOD!


So PUPS, isn't it GOOOOOD to be GOOOOOOD sometimes???

STINKY is still trying to be GOOOOOOD like me because he still isn't GOOOOOOD like me yet so he doesn't get to go to all the cool places I get to go because I am soooo GOOOOOOOD!!!

Picking up Faye / Never any peace...

This afternoon, mum left home WITHOUT ME, and told me to stinky-sit STINKY... can you believe it??

So she left with no dog, came back with one,


This is Faye, she is the 3 year old flying-earDALE mum got her friends to adopt. Faye's parents had to go away for a weekend, and they couldn't get back in time to pick Faye up from the boarding hotel. So mum went to pick Faye up from Rex Hotel and Spa WITHOUT ME!


She put Faye in MY SunshadeMOBILE!!


Then she took Faye to MY park WITHOUT ME!!


Dogsonally, I believe my mum needs to go for a refreshment course on Proper Behaviour Of An Airedale Mum, because she's obviously forgotten a few key points.

• You ALWAYS bring your Airedale wherever you go

• You NEVER come home with another doG

• You NEVER put another dog in the AireMOBILE

• You NEVER go to a park without your Airedale

• You ALWAYS do what your Airedale tells you to do (most important one!)

When mum came home, she had the guts to let STINKY out first to meet Faye leaving the poor stinky-sitter watching from the window...


According to mum, Faye is a pretty laid back, happy go lucky girl, so she didn't want to overwhelm her by having both me and STINKY out at once. STINKY is supposedly the easier one to handle (YEA RIGHT! He's a land shark!), so he got to go out first while I continued......


Finally, I've had enough with the unfairness of the whole thing, so I told mum to LET ME OUUUUUUUUT!


Mum said I can be a B*TCH sometimes to unfamiliar dogs on MY property, and I get protective of STINKY (I have NO IDEA whatsoever why I would ever do that, it must be a reflex of some sort). Even tho Faye and I have gone for a few walks together, she has never been to my yard or my house (other than garage for grooming). So mum told me I had to be on a leash just in case.


Now that was just silly thinking on mum's part because everything was fine,


I mean, why would I want to be mean to someDALE who's willing to take the land-shark bites for me right???


I was hoping STINKY would forget about me; see Faye as me, and do what he does the best to Faye.

But.... I guess that was wishful thinking.....

What does he do the best????

ANNOYING ME of course!

He bites me when I'm walking,


He bites me when I'm peeing,


He bites me when I'm rolling,


In case you missed it, this is the blown up part from the photo above. Do you know why we call him the Land Shark??


He bugs me when I play with MY rockie,


He is always watching me......


He watches when I pick up something,


And does what he does the best around me,


With faces like THIS,


(Stanley.... you are SURE GOOBERS are different from STINKIES right???)

Just as I was wondering if I'll ever get any peace, he went and found his own stick and played with it in his own special way.


He totally ignored poor Faye.....


But I'm sure Faye was glad she got lots of hooman attention, and very little land shark attention!


Finally, STINKY was tired enough to leave me alone for a bit. So I went to MY rockie pile,


Picked out MY special rockie,


And dared the hoomans to come get MY special rockie!! See my "I dare you" face??

Summer Tip: Ways To Keep COOOOL

Since it is the summer, it can get stinkin hot sometimes. I was thinking about this matter yesterday while I was at Buntzen Lake.

Sooo...

I experienced a few different techniques of COOLING without really having to "work".

I say without having to "work" because swimming is obviously the easiest way to get the entire body COOL,


However, I do realize not everyPUP love to exercise in water. So I tested a few ways of COOLING without having to do much work.

Technique 1 - soaking all four feet in water


Report: I did feel that COOL tinkling sensation up my legs. But it stopped just below elbow height, and the rest of my body was still very warm. This is recommended for days that are somewhat hot, but not smokin' hot, or for you to COOL your pads down.


Technique 2 - Sit your butt (muscle or non-muscle) down in water, have the water covering your tummy


Report: This technique feels a little weird to do at first. Half way in water, but not actually in water if you know what I mean. You definitely feel the cooling effect in your tummy area, and if you have a specially muscular butt like I do, it does help relaxe the muscles a bit.

Oh, and this is also a great way to get rid of "danglers" if you know what I mean. It saves your parents from public embarrassment due to having to manually pull the dangler out of your behind.


Technique 3 - Stretch out and be in a lying down position


Report: This one is a bit tricky due to buoyancy. It works great at COOLING the entire body, but at the same time, it is hard to keep your body under water without having to fight your own butt from floating up. So it actually takes a bit of work to be in the stretched out, lying down position and yet still be under water.


Technique 4 - "sit" or "stand" in water deep enough to cover your entire body up to the neck but leaving the head out (for obvious reasons)

VIEW A.



VIEW B.



VIEW C.


Report: What can I say, this sure COOLS your WHOLE body alright. It is normal at first to feel a little bit of pressure around your chest area since 90% of you are under water. You should get use to the feeling fairly quickly and enjoy the "COLD TUB" feeling under the sizzling sun.

However, this seemingly perfect technique isn't without its risks.


A few precautions:

• Make sure you are well rested before you try this technique because dosing off while in this position can have detrimental effects such as inhaling water and choking, which may result in extreme coughing, followed by throwing up of your breakfast, which leads to empty stomach, and ultimately, you end up being HUUUUUUUNGRY! (And we all know THAT is totally detrimental for anyPUP!)

• DO NOT, and I can't stress enough, DO NOT try to sniff the dog that looks a lot like you in front of you, floating on water (like the one in front of me in this picture).That's a BAD doggie!! He makes water go up your nostrils and almost feel like it's gonna come out from your eyes. Just believe me, he makes your nose HURT and makes you sneeze and starts the chain reaction mentioned above....
  

• Lastly, try not to stay in the COLD TUBBING position for too long as it does get cold and you may start to shiver, which makes it possible for you to bite your tongue while your teeth clatter, and hurting your tongue means food doesn't taste as good, and that's NOT good. It is in fact, detrimental too.

Technique 5 - keeping the head COOL (need I say more?)


Report: This is a great technique when you feel like you need to be more COOL headed, or your head needs COOLING. I tend to do this a lot, it's therapeutic.

This concludes my experiment,

Have fun COOLING and enjoy your summer everyPUP!!!!!
