New Year Resolutions

Mom asked my New Year Resolutions.

Mom listed People Resolutions and I gave her Doggie grrrrs:

1. Eat Better: More Iams, Chicken, Eggs. Fresh meat (Mom said don't even go there.What did she mean?)

2. Loose Weight: I'm German Sheppard perfect and don't need to loose weight. Mom groaned.

3. More Exercise: Chase more Squirrels. Lead Mom on long runs!  Mom over her .D...What I did not catch that?

4. Fix habits: Bark more. Mom sighed.

Mom said she gave up because I am not trying.

I am trying.

People. Think about it: What does a Doggie Like to Do?

 

Jingle Bunny

People!

Mom wanted me to dress up to wish you Holiday Greetings!

But. NO! No silly hat!

How could German Sheppard perfection be complimented by a Santa Hat?

Luckily my Bros Bun did the honors.

I owe you one Jingle Bunny!

How 'bout lunch?

Wanna come to lunch?

OK. I see your point.

You might not survive lunch.

Thanks Bun.

Merry Christmas.

 

Ears

See My EARs?

They are standing up better.

This is me while is was still getting over being a

Little Squirt.

Before I became a

 Fine Canine.

Girl Party

My Newest Best Girl Brudder

Lori

Came for the weekend.

(I have no idea where Dad hid with Mom.)

We did Girl stuff.

Chased critters.

Ate Iams.

Wolfed at the neighbors.

Ate Pecans.

Dozed with movies on.

You know:

Girl Stuff!

 

 

Ear Flop

People, Mom is fast with the baby pictures.

Ugh!

This reminds me of a sad time in my life.

See how my ear flops.

My lovely ear did not stand up German Sheppard style

for long painful months.

I know, People.

I was a cute baby!

Archaeological Dig

People! A Doggie has a lot of work to do!

Mom gets in the way of Doggie accomplishment.

She says I have 5 Archaeological Digs.

Mom complains my doggie work

Will kill the grass and add to the mud tracked inside.

She tells me not to do my Canine work.

It is important work People!

Now what is a Doggie to Do with a Mom!

Feed ME

Can You People imagine the Disrespect?

Mom IS on a live chat!

My dinner is late!

My Dinner!

She is typing. Typing. Laughing!

But I am the Dog

Feed ME!

Action

Action Shot!

Keeping an Eye on Things

It is a Relief to see My Bros young Jewlz

Taking such serious responsibility for our

Texas Spread.

Little J is growing up taking after

ME!

Guarding is serious Business!

My Egg

What does a Girl have to Do to get her Egg?

Every morning Mom gives me an Egg.

But trust me People that is no easy process.

IT takes forever of shuffling and scratching to get Mom awake.

Gotta get her awake, not mad.

She wanders around.

Runs the noise maker on the floor.

Then, if you People can even imagine such a thing

She runs water on her head.

Who would volunteer for that?

Then, we Sit. We Stay, but not for long. I have to keep control.

Out we go to check the lizards.

Mom says, "Edel ready for your egg?"

(No People, I never mention I am always ready.)

We come in. Mom wanders.

Later Mom finally says, "Edel, I need to give you your egg."

The fridge opens.

Glory Be. Out comes the Egg!

Mom chops my egg.

I gulp.

Yea, People. This is pretty much everyday.

 

Julia

My Brudders had a baby this Weekend.

Yep that's her.

All Mom says is she is just so "Cute".

She is just  a little squirt.

I cant wait till she grows up and we can

RUMBLE!

Baby Edel

Yea Its me.

Mom's been oodling over the baby pictures again.

This was when the kitchen was bigger.

I actually fit in it.

Mom did not yell.

Move Edel!

Move!

Edels BIG Adventure

I had a big Adventure.

I popped up on the fence and it opened.

Fast as I could I went to my good neighbor Buddy's spread, Jasper'. Then I checked out my other barking buddies' place Zaggy. I guess every body was taking a nap because no one said a "Wolf, Wolf".

I looked over my shoulder and I was all alone. Not Doggie good. We like to travel in packs.

Usually my Mom follows me on my walks. She says stuff like, "Come. Edel." "You're in big trouble Edel." "Let's go home Edel."

You know, stuff like that.

But I was all alone.

I was so glad when I say my dad.

Dad said,

"Come Edel, Come Girl." So sweet.

Do you know what?

I went right to him. I was so glad to see my dad.

I was even glad to see my mom.

 

Sneaky

What can a Girl say People?

Just when I think I can take a break!

Mom is sneaky with that camera!

This is worse than Reality TV!

 

Moms Good Girl.

Hi People!

This is Mom's Good Girl!

Oh So Good so Mom can work. 

People Good is Boring!

Let's Go Chase Critters! 

Let's GO People! 

Done

I don't know about you people,

But

I am pretty much done for awhile!

Helpin

I'm Helpin' Mom.

She is working!

Buster

People. You remember my cuz's.

They has some stuff happen.

It was tough!

Monet is waiting at Heaven for her Mama.

Buster, the front cuz, has been promoted to

 King of the Flat!

Not a Bad Gig, Buster Boy!

You People will just never believe what Mom did!

Mom said,

"Edel is not Perfect!"

Can you People imagine!

ME not Perfect!

I am the German Sheppard!

I am the Dog!

 

Tell Dad

So, People,

Should I tell my Dad?

You think a Dad would Ask his Girl!

So Should I tell him?

Disrespectful

First she steals my nails!

Then just as soon as I start to have fun

She tells me to lay down!

Can you people Imagine That?

My Mom is just so disrespectful to a

German Sheppard!

Jasper

I'm just kinda wondering about my neighbor buddy

Jasper.

I have not heard his "Yap" for a while.

Of course if I see a Lizard first,

Neighbor, Buddy, Jasper,

You are on your own!

Grandpa

That's my Grandpa!

Cute little dicker isn't He?

I've told you people about what he thinks of ME!

Action Shot

My Favorite Brudder asked for an action shot. 

Me running full throttle.

This is me running upside down!

Action shot.

Robbed Again

People!

I don't know what to say!

I was robbed again!

Mom nabbed 3 nail tips.

What does it take for a Doggie to be Whole?

Anyway?

What can a Doggie Do?

Dads Dinner

People Mom just gave me some of Dads dinner with my diner.

It was sure good.

It was so very good.

What?

Yea.

Now that you mention it, Maybe we better not tell DAD.

Doggie Cousins

These are my Doggie Cousins.

Mom Says they are just,

"Oh So Cute!"

Say What?

Yea. I thought the same thing!

Sometmes a Girl has Gotta Go

People we're nearing desperate.

For days every time I try to Go! I get water dripped on my Nose and Ears.

A Girl just can't do what a girl has gotta do under such harsh conditions.

Mom lets me out every hour. She whispers, "Edel, Go P". Usually I do, but, No Go.

I get her up every hour at night to check the weather. No Go.

People, I may Explode!

My Dad

I wanted to tell you People about

My DAD!

My Dad is Special!

My Dad is Great!

Out Yea

Yes!

It does look nice out there.

Oh! You think I might like to go out?

OF Course I want to go OUT!

So how about it?

What does it take?

Feed ME or Else

People!

This is Serious!

A Girl must Eat!

What is Mom Doing that makes her so Slow?

What could me more important than ME?

Look People! I need to Eat or

IT is gonna get UGLY around this place!

A Hungry Girl is an UGLY thing!

Questions?

My Budder got married to my Newest Best Girl Budder, Lizzy, 

Mom said it was on that flat, scentless box last evening.

I keep asking Mom.

How is Lizzy related to me Now?

Can I call her

"Newest Best Girl Budder, Lizzy?"

Or am I supposed to call her something else?

I have so many Questions!

What are the answers?

Doggie answers are so much easier.

Edelweiss: On Salon Styling

My very best new Lady Brother, Lizzy sent this picture.

This is at Altorf in Austin.

Yes, That is Texas.

Its a Hair Salon Mom says.

I can't see the picture very well either.

Doggie eyes aren't good enough to see that far.

Wonder if my new best girl brother wants hair styling advice?

You people have all seen my Style.

 I always look spiffy!

Relaxed

Oh My Good People Friends!

I am so relaxed!

I just did my Yoga.

Then I had this great Stretch!

Sigh!

I feel so Good!

Did you see That

Hey!

People!

Did You See That?

What?

I am not so sure I did Either!

Tired

What are you People!

Starring at?

I chased birds All Day.

I am a hard working German Sheppard.

It is dark out!

I deserve shut eye!

Don't you People get tired?

Mom's a Thief

People!

I was robbed!

We have got to report Mom for Theft!

Here's the scoop:

I was just sitting there. Being good.

(I am always good.)

Mom sneaks up on me and steals one of my paw nails.

Clip!  

I am sure that is not legal.

Imagine stealing a Doggie's nail.

I want my nails right where I keep them!

It is very insulting to a Doggie to be short a paw nail

How much do you think she got for my paw nail?

Gotta Go

Did you hear that?

Just look at that!

There is so much out there I need to go Do!

Bliss

Yea! People.

This is Doggie Bliss.

My Brudder can do this anytime!

My Dad

Yes, I see you people watching me.

I am NOT happy

I want my Dad to take me outside and chase birds or cats or anything he wants to chase.

He won't play with me.

He says he is Busy.

Too busy for ME. I never!

Sigh!

Do any of you people have a place to send a Dad to Doggie appreciation school?

Did I Eat

Oh Really!

You say I ate.

I just don't remember eating.

Look! My bowl is empty!

It's time to eat. I am sure.

I'm Hungry.

OK. I'm always hungry.

Action

This is an action picture!

It's ME of course!

And MY Ball.

I'm teaching my ball a lesson.

He is a slow learner. I have been teaching him all my life.

He is a very naughty Ball.

Dinner

My Bowl is Empty.

My Belly is Empty.

Are we gonna FEED ME?

In Charge

                                                         Mom said, "Edel, Don't Do IT!"

                                                        (She always says that.) Then she said, "Edel,

                                  Come here." (She says that a lot too.) "I'm just not sure what she said next,

                                                 but the next words I heard were, "Edel, Crib. NOW!"

                                                         So now I'm in jail! Isn't it awful?

                                                               Yea. Yea. I did IT.

                                                        She always does this when I do IT.

            But, Still! Doesn't she know I am the German Sheppard? Who does she think is in charge?

Spring

Ah!

All day Mom has been Roasting this delicious turkey.

Anyway, I have worked all day to keep the turkey safe.

I have to taste the turkey. This is the fun part.

This is such hard work!
