Odie and FAT Little Me

Odie is my best buddy next to Jazz, Shenanny and Billy Bob. He sleeps in the sunshine and runs through the house with me. I carry him in my mouth and shake him. LOL I chewed his tail off, too!!! He is used to that FAT CAT Garfield in the funny paper. So, I guess he can take my abuse.

Now Shenanny says I am FAT. She says that she can't feel my ribs when I am standing. She and I are going on a diet and trying to get more exercise. She really needs it, too. This morning she walked me around the fields and backyard. In a couple of weeks she will start back to PT to get her up and going better. She has Bursitis in one of her hips along with all her other aches and pains, and has a hard time walking sometimes. She says we will get back in shape sooner or later. I wish I could go to PT with her, but she says no dogs are allowed unless they are service dogs.

Maybe, I could be a service dog. Shenanny says that I have to listen better before I could do that. She says that I am a good little heating pad. Maybe, that is the best service I can provide for now. I'll go get back in the sunshine and get heated up again. No doubt Shenanny will want me to take a good nap with her later today. She likes my warm little FAT body on her lap. She says I'm a warm cozy. I'll buy that!!!! :o)

Catch y'all later.
Love, Ellie Rose

ALL AMERICAN "ELLIE ROSE" (a sporting dog???)


Here I am pondering my plight in life. I hate doggie sweaters. Shenanny just put this one on me and told me that I am an ALL AMERICAN DOGGIE!!!! She says this is the last time I will have to wear it. I hope she really means that.

I do like this picture. Makes me look like I've been in the Olympics or something. She took a whole bunch of pictures of me, and says I need to write more on my blog. So, here I sit writing while I would rather be sleeping in the sunshine on top of the blanket chest in front of the window. Shenanny promises that she will take me outside as soon as I finish this. So, here goes!!!

I played with Jazz over in the big garage at her house earlier today. Billy Bob and Barry were working on the Bass Tracker and getting it ready to go fishing before too long. Barry went trout fishing yesterday and got his limit. Jazz is lucky as she gets to go trout fishing, too. She is some kind of sporting dog and can go out on the water in the Tracker. WOW!!!

I guess I will never get to be a sporting dog. I think I belong to the "non-sporting" group. At least that is what Shenanny says. She loves all the dog shows and books. She watched the Westminster Show with me the other week. She really wanted the Golden Retriever to win Best in Show, but a silly looking little Bull Terrier won. At least he was more kin to me. I am a Boston Terrier, but a terrier in name only. Boston Terriers were bred to be fighting dogs!!! We got our start in the US in the city of Boston. I guess the bull terrier was bred for fighting, too. I don't know. Since my dog family started in the United States Shenanny says that I am an ALL AMERICAN and she put this hot patriotic sweater on me.

She says I need to write blogs more often as not many dogs can do that. I think she's trying to make a sporting dog of me, too, as she always wants me to watch the Olympics with her. We've sure enjoyed the figure skating and will watch the Skating Gala tonight as the Olympics will be coming to a close before too long. I doubt that I will be able to learn to skate, but who knows?!?!? Shenanny makes me walk around on my back feet before she will give me a piece of cheese. Maybe, I will end up wearing one of those cute little skating outfits. If I have to, I want a blue one!!! The lady from Japan was wearing blue last night and she GOT THE GOLD!!! She was very ELOQUENT. I am very eloquent, too. It's part of my name.

TTFN I want to get outside and enjoy the fresh air while the sun in shining.
Catch y'all later.

Love, Ellie Rose, hoping for the GOLD in 2010
