Zaidie eats cat poop, e'vypup.

Zaidie's Momma here and I am TOTALLY disgusted with this behaviour. I thought that if I were to embarrass Mr. Zaidie Levi by announcing to his friends that he STILL does this (and his middle name!!), he might consider stopping. Our vet suggested buying some wolf urine (?) to harmlessly keep the cats away, so we're going to try to find some. Our only 'Wolf Urine is Us' store closed recently, so I guess Zaidie's Dadda and I will try a garden/farm supply place and see if they have any in stock. If not, maybe they could suggest something else.
Our vet was pretty grossed out when she heard that Zaidie STILL eats cat poop and I had to say,"Well, it's not like we're offering it to him in his food bowl!!"

Hey, Momma!! Whut yu duin' in my diawy?? Momma! HEY-DIS R NOT NICE!! Momma, dis r my pwibate diawy an' only my pup pals r 'llowed in!! I DO NOD EAT CAT POOP!! I WEALLY DONT!!! Dis r outwageous!!!!

2) I weigh 17.3 poundses.

3) My spellin' an' gwammar r 'trocious!!

4) Our mail deliberwy person (a bery nice wady nameded Sara) leaves a tweet on top ob our mailbox FUR ME, ZAIDIE, e'vyday. If her wuns outa tweets, her wite a note an' say,"Sowwy. I wunnded outa tweets! I ged more!!"
Now e'vytime I come up da steps an' ontu da fwont porch aftur go poddy or be on woad twip or go fur walk, I stop an' wook up at our mailbox, as if tu say,"Where r my tweet? Dere r da mailbox!!"

5) I shwed wettuce wike I shwed papers. Momma alwayz gibs me a peece ob wettuce an' her fink," Mabbe dis time he r gonna ead it," bud I neber du dat.

"Oh, Zaidie. Sweet, innocent Zaidie."

Zaidie's Momma here, pup pals. The title of this particular entry is courtesy of everyone' favourite party-hat-wearing-guy, Sam. I probably don't even need to say this, but Zaidie did not enjoy an evening of opera at the Met. He had wanted me to construct some wild story about how HE stopped a huge fight between rival NYC flyball teams and was, therefore, required to accompany the police and the thugs to the local precinct, missing the performance. I said, "Zaidie, you can do that yourself."
He is now lying in the sun out on the deck, claiming that he contracted malaria from the vet's office kitty and is in no shape to write anything. Yes, he went to the vet. Nothing serious. His biggest problem now is the HUGE HEAD he's carrying around, courtesy of the many compliments he received there :"Oh, he's SO cute!!" "What a cute little white doggie!!!" "ACK!! I'm blinded by the cute!" Yes, he DID have his listening ears on then, but not a few hours before when I announced to him that we'd be going to the vet's office when Dadda came home from work. I said, "vet". He wanted a road trip and heard, "Met". I should have known something was up when he requested clean, black socks. He prefers them straight off his Dadda's feet at the end of the day!! Have a "gwate Dogster Day, e'vpup!!"

Guess whut, pup pals!!

Wow, I r SO 'cited!!! Why? yu ask me, Zaidie....I r goin' tu da Met!! Yes, da Met, dis nite!!! Whut wuz dat, Ernie George?? Bud I wiv 'bout 7 or 8 hours frum N.Y.C ????

Questions from Zaidie's Momma

Zaidie is with his lawyer right now. ( No, you do NOT want to know). I thought I'd take this time to ask you, the doggies of Dogster, a question or two.
First of all, Zaidie and I were outside this morning to -privacy, please- as he says. Some city workers had been on our street trimming trees whose branches were interfering with street signs. There were wood chips everywhere and Zaidie decided that he needed to eat some of them. As I was feeling around in his mouth for the offending bits, I thought,"When is this clown gonna stop eating EVERYTHING he sees????" We really can't blame things on his puppiness anymore, as he is now one year and almost eight months old.
What I'd like to know is this : Is Zaidie crazy? Will this ever stop? Why does he do this??? Are your listening ears on today???
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Fanks, 'nonymous!!

Some pup named 'nonymous just giveded me a wainbow wosette and askded me why dere are so many songs 'bout wainbows and whut is on udder side...Hmmm. I need fink.
Dere are so many songs 'bout wainbows cuz da hoomans, dey jus' don unnerstan wainbows. If dey don unnerstan sumfing, dey write songs 'bout it. Wike wimmen. Men don unnerstan dem - dat why dere so many songs 'bout dem.
On udder side of wainbow, dere is HUGE playground for all da doggies in world. Dere's pools and sprinklers and weally fun 'gility 'quipment and bery low counters covered wif all stuff doggies wuv wike meat and meat and bacon and cheese and meat and cheese and cheese and meat. Dey can eat ALL dey want. Dere's ribbers of cool, clear water and e'vy few feet dere are small tubs filled wif Frosty Paws. The Frosty Paws don melt cuz of bery complicated cooling system designed by kitties who thot if dey help out doggies, dey get inbited to playground. No. It not werk dat way.
Anyway, for da hoomans, dere's stores and stores filled wif the bestest clothes and jewelry and handbags and toys for da Dads, wike 'nowmobiles and ATVs and Ferraris and golf clubs and all kind gweat stuff and it all FWEE!!!...'cept no one - no hoomans and no pups hab eber been dere. The hoomans dont bewieve in magic, wike wainbows, but da doggies do. Dat's why no walk is eber long enuf for a pup. If da hoomans wood jus follow dere pup(s) instead of dragging dem home cuz CSI on teebee, e'vyone wood find dis magical place. So jus' wewax hoomans and follow your pup(s). Dere's magic out dere and only dey know where is!

P.S. all dese bones!!

Life lessons from a Westie

Dis conbersation 'tween Momma and me tooked place dis morning.

"Momma?

Yes, Zaidie-pup?

Dat walkie we taked dis morning...'member dat?

Yes, my sweet?

Well, on 'Zaidie International Scale of Walkies', it rate 2 outa 10. Dat not gud, Momma.

Well, imagine that, Sir Clownalot. On the 'Momma International Scale of Doggie Behaviour While on a Walk', you rated a 1 out of 10.

(*gasp*) Momma, dat not bery nice!!!

Zaidie, is it absolutely IMPERATIVE that we stop and sniff every hydro pole, fire hydrant, street sign, garbage can, rock, weed AND blade of grass??

Well, 'a course, Momma! Ev'y day, you and Dadda get 2 papers throwed onto da front porch. Dat's your news. Doggies, well, we gotta go out onto da street to get our news. It bery hard werk, but we gotta do it, so we know all 'bout whut doggie did whut, when, why 'n stuff. I hafta do it when da news is fresh, wif you in morning. 'sides, Dadda won't let me stop 'n sniff all da time, like you do. And you're da nicest and prettiest and bestest and patientest Momma EBER ...so shank you and I wuv you.

(Momma pats soft, sweet, tiny, fluffy Zaidie head...) Oh, my good boy! How about a snack??

(little, carrot-shaped tail wags and wags..) Sure, Momma!"

Lucky 500!!!

Thank you!! Today I reached 500 pup pals!! WOW! Back in December when I finally talked Momma into signing up, she thot we'd have no friends. She was 'barrassed 'bout asking you guys to be pals. Look at us now! We wuv you, Dogster and every pup!!

We did it!!!!

Dadda and I finally did it. We got Momma to wewax. Dadda said, "Zaidie and I go for walk. You go out on deck, lie on lounge with iPod and wewax." It worked! . Momma wewaxed!!
Now we're going on a road trip to Grandpa's house! I wuv him!! C'mon Momma and Dadda, let's go!!!

Haiku by Zaidie

-Olfactory Awakenings-

I love to sniff stuff.
Momma does not like old poop.
Can you believe it?

Why???

Momma keeps calling me " The Mayor of Clown Town." Why, Momma, why?? There was no 'lection. I not mayor of any place! Could someone 'splain this to me, please??? Momma's on othur 'puter, shopping at J. Crew. HALP!!

School again!

Last night was my first night of grade 3 at the 'McCann School of being a Bery Good Doggie'. Yup, it says that on the sign outside. There was a lotta review from grade 2, but there was also new stuff and I did so well that the instructors came over to me and Dadda and said, " You and Zaidie should just go home. It's clear that he is the BESTEST DOG EBER and there's nothing more we can teach him!!" So home we went! BOL! BOL! BOL! I kidding!
Momma came wif us and watched from the sidelines. 'pparently, there's good entertainment value at that place. She's got too much 'xiety to handle me in class. We're tried last year. Not good.
Anyway, I'm the smallest clown...ooops...doggie in class. There's a Whippet, a coupla Labs, a coupla Border Collies, a bery big Neopolitan Mastiff and a HUGE Great Dane who is only 8 months old and STILL GROWING. I was bery interested in him. I wish we could have sniffed. Maybe next week!
Momma and I are heading out for our walk now. Hope I find something good 'n stinky to roll in! I mean sniff, Momma, just sniff!!

What a busy day!!

Momma, Dadda and I took a road trip to Toronto today. Momma had a 'ppointment, so Dadda and I had a couple of hours to do guy stuff in the big city. We walked and people-watched and walked some more. There was SOOOO much to sniff, it was 'MAZING!!
A mean doggie barked at me and a bery confused lady asked Dadda if I'm a Wheaton Terrier!! BOL BOL!!!! We laffed and laffed 'bout that!! Do I look like a Wheaton Terrier to you?? No, I dint think so.
Then we came home and, though I was planning a quiet evening with my bones, Momma and Dadda had other plans. It starts with a B and it ends in ATH. Yes, you read that right - a bath. I hated every minute of it, 'cept for the treats, but I do feel much better. Momma said I was carrying the streets of Toronto in my fur. Can you say D-I-R-T-Y???

Counting my Blessings - a haiku

I've got a great life;
walks, treats, snacks, food, cheese, toys, friends.
Best of all there's love.

WOO-HOO!!! 1,001 views of my page!!!

Dis unbelievable! I think dis calls for a Dentastik!... Momma?? I can has Dentastik??? Wuv dem...

Diary Pick of the Day, AGAIN???

Wow, I'm so 'cited I can barely type!!! Momma just turned on the 'puter and there I was, me and my furry face on Diary Central!!
Thanks, Dogster and thanks to all my pup pals for making Dogster the nicest, bestest, funnest place to be. I wuf you guys!!

The Mystery of how Zaidie (that's me!) got out of his crate- ('cept it's my clubhouse) in the middle of the night!

Last night, 'bout fifteen-eleventy o'clock, Momma was woked up by gentle ringing of Poochie (go potty) Bells. She thinked that she was dreaming stuff. Then, the Poochie (go potty NOW) bells ringed louder. Momma's heart POUNDING 'cause she thinked some bad burgler guy was in our house 'cause I, Zaidie, is only guy who rings bells.
She ran to top of stairs and there in dark she saw small, (but bery brave and strong and bery, BERY, handsome) white doggie. "Momma! It me, Zaidie, not 'truder!!! I need go potty NOW!" So Momma ran down the stairs, all the time asking, "Zaidie-pup, how did you get out of your crate????????????" "Momma, It my CLUBHOUSE, not crate and I dunno how I gotted out."
We went outside and I -privacy, please- and then we ran back in. Momma was shaking, but did not want to wake Dadda. We slept together on the couch and I slept right on top her to calm her down. Took LONG time.
Since Dadda was guy who put me into clubhouse for nighty-night, maybe he not lock door?? Maybe I magic?? Will we eber know 'bout this mystery??

New Diary Title!!

Momma and I thought it's time to go a little CRAZY!! Live on the edge! Throw away our inhibitions (tho' I don't think I have any of those, whatever they are. BOL! ) Yup, we...brace yourselves, pup pals...changed the name of my diary!!!
It's raining HARD here today and since, Momma THINKS she knows how much I do not like getting wet and muddy, we're staying inside, 'cept for...you know...We're listening to Momma's iPod music- LOUD - and Momma got out ALL my Cuz toys -also LOUD and squeeky, too. Party on at my house, pup pals!!!

I r 'hausted...

We took a family walk this morning...Momma and Dadda and me, Zaidie! Once Momma figured out what to wear *eyeroll*, we were off! We saw geese and ducks and seagulls and a guy fishing in the middle of the ribber! He must have gotted SOAKING wet! There was SO much stuff to sniff, it was kind of oberwhelming...Saw a couple of doggies, but only one friendly enuf to sniff. 'pparently, the other dog "doesn't like little dogs", if you can believe it. I thought he was just plain RUDE!
Momma carried my travelling H2O in her backpack and Dadda picked up my poop...tee hee! Everybody had a job! Mine was to be cute and to protect my people. I did it!!

WOO-HOO!!!

Momma and I went for the BESTEST walk eber this morning. It dint start so good - Momma lost her head and we walked past those ded skwerls again. I tried to check them for signs of life, but Momma said, "Ick. No. Ded." Okay, okay, I get it. Then Momma decided that we needed a change, so we turned left and that is the TRAIL ALONG THE RIVER!!! So much to see and SOOOO much to sniff!! And skwerls and seagulls and Canada geese and birds and other doggies and bunnies and *drumroll, please* GOOSE POOP!! I dint get to try any...this time (tiny bol).

If it are dead, it not count...WHUT??

Momma and I just comed back from our morning walk. There were 2 squirrels totally within reach. I strained and yanked and pulled. Momma said, "ZAIDIE, NO, IZ DED. ICK!!!!" I coulda sweared that da second one was moving and I wanted ta chek it out! Darn WAAAAAAY TOO sensitive Momma. She do NOT like ded stuf, even flies. She turned her head other way!! 'ccording to her, if a squirrel is kilt ded and is lying dere at da side of da street, no doggie can claim it as a catch. Is this fur real?? Momma sez it is part of da "Terrier Creed."
I dunno if I can beleeve her - she sez I need to werk on my grammar and spellin, too...whutever that iz..

OMD!!!

A diary pick of the day???!!!??? ME??? Wow, just wow...Thank you Dogster for bestowing this incredible honour on me. I think I speak for all of today's picks when I say, thank you, Dogster, for giving us doggies a place to hang out and make new friends and spread the canine love through out the world!
On a more personal note, I had BIG FUN yesterday with my cousin, Woody. There was no snarling, no barking. We even played ball and frisbee together...kind of. We had snacks and, at one point, we were drinking water from the same bowl!! Dadda forgot his camera, though and I doubt that Woody will ever admit to sharing with me.
Have a great day, everypup!! I wuf ALL of you!!

Look out, squirrels!!!

Today we're going to visit my grandparents in Burlington, ON. They live with Woody, the dog and he's 14 years old. I'm 1. I LOVE Woody. Woody barely tolerates me - that's what Momma says. I think it means he loves me so much, he can hardly stand it!!
The bestest part is that their yard is fenced and I can run free AND there are squirrels and I can run like the wind and play soccer and stuff WITH NO LEASH!!! WOO HOO!!! Bark with you later, puppers!!
And Happy Easter to all my pup pals here and at the Rainbow Bridge, where the squirrels run just a little slower, but nobody gets hurt if you catch one!!

Oy vey, what a day!

I'm too tired to chat now, but what a day!! "Brooming" is not what I thought it was!! Who knew???

Haiku 'bout the "broomer"

I will go to the
broomer but I won't like it.
We don't need more brooms!

"Miniature Olde Scottish Highland Sheepdog of the West"

Finally, Momma and I are going to be able to go to the "broomers" tomorrow. I guess we will look at brooms and maybe pick out some new ones. I don't think Momma really needs any more brooms, but, then, Dadda doesn't think I need any more toys!! Is he nuts???
In the meantime Momma is calling me her "Miniature Olde Scottish Highland Sheepdog of the West" 'cause I'm looking a little shaggy. And 'cause the weather here in Southern Ontario is CRAZY, we have snow. My legs were covered in snowballs after our walk this morning. Even I have had enough snow for one season! It's Spring. Time to go, silly snow!!!

Oh, dear....

"Broomer" cancelled. Momma is kind of upset. I asked," Momma, can't we go and look at brooms another day?" She just patted my soft, sweet, furry, little noggin' and gave me a Dentastik. Next to cheese, bacon, chicken, beef, salmon, eggs, sweet 'tatoes, watermelon and a few thousand other items, Dentastix are my favourite!!

"Broomer" day

Yes, it's broomer day, though I don't unnerstand why I hafta go. I neber touched a broom in my whole life. 'kay, yes, when Momma uses a broom I hafta try to eat it, but that's my job - to protect Momma. Who knows what the broom could do? 'sides, Momma, has all kinds of brooms...Swiffer this, Swiffer that, broom for hardwood, broom for deck, broom for after lawn is cut. Then there's that HUGE, NOISY broom for carpets. It doesn't scare me- not one bit!! NOPE! Not ME!!

I am bery upset.

So yesterday I was bery 'cited 'cause, 'pparently, we were GOING TO TIBET!!! Yup, that's what Momma said. To TIBET!! I packed some...okay, ALL of my food and every treat in the house, grabbed a Kong and my favourite Cuz ( I found where you hide them, Momma!), packed NO COATS, NO SHIRTS, NO BRUSHES, NO COMBS, NO NAIL-CLIPPING SCISSORS, NO EAR-CLEANING 'QUIPMENT, NO SOAP, my favourite stuffies : Fred the pheasant, squeaky squirrels 1 and 2, squeaky bunny, non-squeaky bunny, non-squeaky lamby, chirpy chickadee and honky Canada goose. Oh, and my 'cooby soccer ball, the BERY special bones that cousin Woody gave me, my HUGE fuzzy blue Wubba, my baby red Wubba, my yellow doggie beach Wubba - that's it!!
I was so 'cited I could hardly STAND IT!!! I could be a sherpa for Momma and Dadda in the Himalayan mountains; I could see where Tibetan Terriers come from; my unbearable cuteness and natural Terrier enthusiasm for EVERYTHING could help with the political problems in the area. I was sure of it.
I threw my stuff into the car and sat patiently (bery hard for me) while Dadda harnessed me into my car seat. Momma had my travelling H2O (which I'd forgotten-silly me!) It didn't occur to me that I was the only happy traveller with luggage. I was too busy with my maps!!
I settled in for a quick nap 'cause I had no idea how long it would take to get TO TIBET. You know me and the concept of time! What???seconds, decades, hours, weeks, minutes, years..WHAT??
Well, 'pparently, it only takes 10 MINUTES to get TO TIBET, especially when you go by way of THE VET. OMD. ANNUAL CHECK-UP. Finish the story yourselves, Pup Pals. Been there. Done that.

OMD I've been tagged! Now what?

I've been tagged by everybody's favourite Scottish Terrier, Ernie George. He makes me BOL and he even makes momma LOL. Momma and I have never been tagged before so if we make a mistake please don't bark at us too much. Momma thinks we're 'spposed to "copy and paste" or something which she does not know how to do. Anyway,here are seven fascinating facts about me, Zaidie!

1) We have no kids with skin in our house, just me with my fur. It wasn't part of the plan, but Momma has been bery sick for lotta years. She's happy just to be here with me and Dadda.

2) I have 2 doggie cousins : Woody, a mixed breed, is 14 . Buddy is a Lab who is 1 1/2 and lives on a dairy farm near Ottawa, ON. It's not fair - he gets to be dirty and stinky ALL THE TIME!!

3)On April 28th I will begin grade 3 at the McCann School for Doggies. They love me there!

4) I got fixed on April 22nd of last year, but I don't bemember being broked!

5)Yes, I'm even cuter in real life.

6)My favourite place on Earth is the dog beach at Pinery Provincial Park on Lake Huron near Grand Bend, ON.

7) When Momma and I started on Dogster, back in December, we thought we would have NO pup pals! Silly us!!!

I will tag the following doggies : Hunter #152033

Magnusson #639013

Boomer#518751

Ella #710533

Willie #775550

Vinnie #971328

Party* Party*Party!!

On the weekend some teenagers on our street were bery sad 'cause their momma and dadda went away overnight. To help themselves feel better, the teenagers decided to have a party... a BIG party. They even invited the police! Wasn't that nice of them?? And not just one or two police officers, but 6 or 7 cars of them!! A good time was had by all and the parents were sorry they missed out on the fun. Oh, well.
Momma loves parties and she used to be a teenager, too. Then she was a university student who loved parties so much, that's what her degree ended up being... a B.Sc in Partying! Anyway, Momma just doesn't like the fact that some bad teenagers threw bottles around. Now there's glass everywhere...on the sidewalks, the street and the grass, too. Now Momma has to figure out how to get it cleaned up before some unfortunate doggie cuts a paw! That would be pawful!

Haikuing by Zaidie

Take one white doggie.
Add the sights and smells of Spring.
Can you say "baff time"?

Oh, that's just great :(

There I was, having a fabulous day, playing out on the deck while momma and dadda cleaned the hardwood floors. I always offer to help with whatever they're doing, but for some reason they always decline my offer. Then I heard it...softly at first.."broomer....Yes, it's time.... broomer...I'll make an appt. next week with the Westie broomer...shaggy puppy...hasn't been professionally broomed since last November." OMD!!! Not the broomer!!!
If any doggie out there has any advice for me re: broomer avoidance, it would be appreciated.

I'm here for you, Momma!

Momma's bery sad 'cause there's lots of sad stuff happening here on Dogster these days...lots of sickness and even some trips to the Rainbow Bridge. I dry her tears and stay close by. Besides squirrel patrol, taking care of Momma is my job when Dadda's at werk.
On a happier note, Momma and I found some crocuses and tulips peeking out from the soil in our gardens. Tulips are Momma's favourite flower and we've got thousands out there!
Take care of your people, everydoggie!

Momma must be a magician!

I'm having a really difficult time sleeping by myself, even though I have been doing it for a year. Dadda falls asleep VERY fast. Momma does not, so she hears me crying a while after everyone goes to bed. She waits until she can no longer stand to hear my pitiful whimpering. Then she grabs her pillow and comes downstairs. We sleep together on the couch. It makes me very happy and the crying stops! It's a miracle! Momma has the magic touch. I wuf her forever.

A haiku for my momma

-Sorry, momma-
by Zaidie

I sorry momma
For keeping you up last night.
I still love chicken.

I made a new friend!

This morning momma and I went out for our usual a.m. walk. We walked and I sniffed stuff. We walked some more and I kept on sniffing stuff - our neighbourhood is an all-you-can-sniff doggie buffet of delightfully stinky stuff!
Then I met Jake , a Golden Retriever! He's 2 and I'm 1. Perfect! We danced around and bowed to each other very respectfully. His momma was in a hurry, so off he went, leaving momma and me to finish our walk on this beautiful spring day. I hope we see Jake again. Have a great day, everydoggie!

What a day!

Wow, yesterday was one of the bestest days ever! We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house. My human cousins were there and Woody the dog wasn't! (He's 14. I'm 1. It never works) I got to play soccer outside and run around and sniff everything with NO LEASH! It was better than BACON...okay, maybe not better, but JUST AS GOOD!! Then we went to my great-grandparents' 70th anniversary party!!! 70 years is a bery, bery long time to be married...more than eleventy-eight, I think. There were so many people to meet and greet and hands to pat me and faces to give my infamous kisses to. I was a HIT!! I heard the word "cute" a lot. I'm pretty sure it means bery growed-up and mature and extremely well-behaved! Yeah, that's it!

It's Spring!!

I'm so excited that Spring is finally here! ( Momma, please tell me what Spring is again. I forgot...Oh, YEAH!!) Anyway, it's here and it smells GREAT. So much to sniff! There aren't enough hours in the day...or minutes or something. Note to self : learn 'bout time.
Last Spring, I was just little. I barked and growled at everything 'cause it was all new to me. I was scared, but now I'm one! Whatever it is, bring it on!!

Road Trip!!

Momma and I are getting ready for our road trip today. Momma has a 'ppointment in Toronto. I think it will take us eleventy-three hours to get there or maybe 43 seconds???...OMD, I really need to learn 'bout time and stuff. Bark with you later, Dogster dudes and dudettes!

I'm SUCH a good boy!!

Yesterday, Momma had a hair 'ppointment and, once again, she left ME in charge. Since she left nothing for me in the 'Shred This' pile, I ate the treats she left for me, watched some goofy lions on Animal Planet and then had a nap or two. Momma came back after eleventy- three days or two minutes or something. I need to learn to tell time, Momma!!! Anyway, she came back and we played 'cooby - that's soccer with a Scooby Doo ball - out on the deck in the lovely sunshine. Spring is almost here, doggies! I can smell it!!!

My Annifursary - the fun continues!

Yesterday, I wrote about the fact that it was my first annifursary of coming to live with Momma and Dadda. Dadda was at werk, being the boss of 'puter stuff, so Momma and I went on a bery nice walk. She made me wear a coat, but that's okay...I guess. While we were out, a couple of big diggers and three huge dump trucks went past us. I had to sit down and watch 'cause I LOVE big trucks. One of the guys waved at me!!!!!
Later in the day, I was on squirrel patrol and Momma was 'putering. We heard a lot of noise outside, so I put on my leash and called Momma and out we went. There, on my bery own street, were the same diggers and dump trucks!!! I just had to sit and watch the action. A guy waved at me AGAIN!! It was SO cool. I just LOVE big trucks and 'quipment.

Happy Annifursary to me!! and Momma and Dadda!!

It was one year ago today that my Momma and Dadda went to Bob the breeder's house and we became a family! Bob was sad to see me go, but he knew he'd be seeing me again and again. We live 'bout half an hour from GlenRoslin Westies and Scotties - that's Bob!! I was sad to leave my sister, Paisley and my birth parents, CH GlenRoslin's Professor Higgins and Kenlakes Almost Christmas (Chrissy), but I'd be back!! And Momma promised to keep Bob updated with photos of me, Zaidie!!!
We've had a great year! I've been to school and soon I'll be starting grade three at the 'McCann school of being a very good doggie'. I learned about snow and the beach on Lake Huron. Can't wait for summer!!! I met some very nice boys, Mitch and Jake, my cousins. I met my doggie cousin, Woody, but our relationship needs some work. He's 14 years old and I'm only one. You do the math!!
My grandma, Dadda's momma, went to Heaven and she'd only met me once, but we're visiting grandpa LOTS and he's doing very well. He loves me! (but I lick too much, he says. I guess he doesn't understand that those are KISSES not licks! Silly Grandpa...)
I love you, Momma and Dadda! Thanks for loving me and taking care of me and teaching me everything a Westie needs to know. Thanks for all the walks and hikes and road trips and toys and treats and patience and FUN!!! I have a great life :)

Oh, the dogmanity....

So there I was, minding my own business, just watching the world go by and, yes, occasionally losing my mind over a squirrel. All of a sudden, I was in the basement, in the laundry tub, having a B-A-T-H. (I had to spell it because the word itself gives me the shivers). Yes, Momma was there with her ever-present bag of treats, but there was Dadda hosing me down!!!! Dude, what did I ever do to you???? OMD!!!!...Okay. Okay. Okay. It's over. I need to relax...chill out...b-r-e-a-t-h-e. There. That's much better....ahhhhhh.................SQUIRREL!!!!!! GET OFF MY DECK!!!!!!

I'm in charge here.

Today Momma had a 'ppointment with her dentist. This meant that I would be in charge for a while. Before she left, she removed all things 'shreddable' from the area where I'd be hanging out, turned on "Animal Planet", filled a Kong with deliciousness and took me outside to -privacy please- Then she left.
I never worry 'bout being alone anymore. I KNOW that Momma will be back and I was right - she came back! I think I was in charge for about eleventy-eight days...or minutes. I'm not sure. Us doggies have trouble with stuff like that, but we make sure that our people ALWAYS know that we missed them!!! My 2-legged, welcome-back, hoppy, happy dance lasts at least 5 minutes...I think!

I need a bath...

What? Have I lost my mind??? Yes, I'm a little dirty, but a bath??!! That's crazy talk. I think I've been listening to Momma too much. I love her like CRAZY, but she's really OCD with the dirt. It's March. There's mud. Chill out, Momma! OMD!

I'm feeling better today! Yay!!

Good thing I was feeling better today because Momma, Dadda and I had a road trip. Momma had a 'ppointment in Toronto. I love being in the car and watching for other doggies from my very excellent car-seat/bed. It's very comfy, even though I'm strapped in for safety. I can sit or lie down; I can curl up into a ball or I can s-t-r-e-t-c-h out. If I get a sibling, there might be space issues.

Poor, sick me!

Oy...what a day. I've been sick, but I'm feeling MUCH better now. I've had a couple of snacks and my tummy doesn't hurt and I even played a bit of soccer in the living room with dadda. Momma looked after me all day. She's an excellent nurse and she doesn't give needles!

Poor, sick Momma

It's the weekend and that's good 'cause it means Dadda's home to help me take care of Momma. My job is to lie on top of Momma while she is lying the the couch, to help keep her warm and to let her know that I'm here for her. Occasionally, Dadda needs my help in the kitchen and he needs to be walked at least twice a day, so he keeps me busy, too. It's kind of scarey to think of what their life would be like without me, Zaidie, to keep things on track. Total CHAOS, I'm sure.

Oh, dear..A Haiku by Zaidie

My Momma is sick.
Lots of sneezing and sniffles.
We can't walk today :(

A Haiku for Momma...by Zaidie

I love you, Momma,
more than beef, cheese and chicken
And I love bacon.

Momma's list of important facts and figures for all- doggies...especially you, Zaidie!

Hi, everyone. Zaidie is with his accountant right now. I thought I'd take this opportunity to share a list of things which I believe every doggie should know. I've been a puppy momma for only 11 months so far, but I learn quickly. Here we go :

1) We will never NOT have food for you; therefore, there is no need to inhale each meal so quickly that you make that disturbing burpy/choking noise.

2) There will ALWAYS be squirrels outside. If you don't get to chase THIS one, there will soon be another. Also, you will NEVER catch one, trust me.

3) When we're in the car and you're sitting there, watching for other doggies, please bear in mind that we will NEVER stop and let you out, so you can run over to say hello. Please stop the incessant whimpering, whining and window scratching.

4) Not everyone wants/needs to say hello to you when we're out walking. I know it's cruel, especially considering the effort you put into greeting people, with your spinning, 2-legged hoppy dance, but I'm just being honest with you. Dadda and I do think it's the cutest thing ever, though!

5) When you ring your "Poochie Bells" every 10 minutes to go out, we know that you're messing with our heads. Knock it off, please.

That's all for now. Thank you for your time and attention.

Zaidie's momma

Dogster Plus is cool!

Momma and I talked about it and we decided that, since I'm SO cute and 'bedient, it's time for Dogster Plus. We added more photos and she spent a long time captioning every one. Then she clicked on the wrong button and the captions went away, like my Cuz toys did when Momma had a headache.
This past weekend, Momma, Dadda and I went for a road trip to our favourite beach, but there was no swimming! There was TONS of ice everywhere, but, in a few short months, it will be gone! I can't wait!! The dog beach at Pinery Provincial Park on Lake Huron is my favourite place on Earth, next to Momma and Dadda's laps :)

Goodbye, snow! I'll miss you!

Our snow has been melting so fast that I can see grass in the backyard. I know it means that spring is coming, but Momma and I like to go walking when it's clear and cold and the snow squeaks under our feet, even if it means I have to wear a coat. This weather just makes me dirty and we all know what that means, don't we? B_TH!!!!! Run for your lives, white doggies!!

This is truly an honour...

WOW!!! Momma and I just came back from a lovely morning walk...lots of stuff to sniff now that the snow is slowly melting away. Momma turned the computer on and there it was : a message telling us that my diary is being featured today on Dogster!!! Way too cool!
I'd like to thank the Academy for...ooops, wrong speech! Anyway, I'm having tons of fun on Dogster and I LOVE meeting new doggies and their people, so c'mon over to my page and say,"Hi!!!"

Uh, oh...

Momma is a little bit grouchy today. While we were out walking, she would NOT let me stop and sniff every patch of yellow snow. (And, if we'd done that, Mr.Zaidie, we'd STILL be out walking - momma). She even tried to do 'bedience, but it didn't work.
Also, I've got Spring fever (yes, I know - 5 more weeks of winter)and all I want to do is GO OUT!!! Momma's ready to throw all my Poochie Bells into the garbage!! Dadda, come home from 'werk' soon, please!

Wrapped around my little paw-paw....

First, Momma was sick. Then she got better. Then Dadda got sick. Then he got sicker and he coughed and coughed all night, every night. Bery noisy, so Momma and I had sleepovers in the living room. I loved being with Momma all night. Last night, she stayed upstairs, so I cried and whined for 45 minutes. That's all it took. She came downstairs and off to sleep I went, warming Momma's feet. Dadda says that I've got Momma wrapped around my little paw-paw. I don't know what it means. I just know that I love Momma and Momma loves me!

WOW!!!

It snowed like crazy here today. Momma and I went into the backyard to check it all out. The snow went over her tall boots and it was over my head!! Momma went first and made a trail, but it was just too deep. I needed a boost up the hill. Then we played CHASE - no rules -just CHASE!!! It was WAY fun. Now we're inside and I'm working on getting the snowballs off my legs. Momma made me wear a coat or there would have been snowballs on my belly, too! I LOVE SNOW!!!

"I'm Zaidie and I'm a...

poopaholic." Yes, it's true and, a few days ago, I fell off the wagon. I hadn't munched on anyone's p**(including my own) in many months. My momma and dada were glad because, well, they're humans and it grossed them out. The other day, Momma and I were out walking and suddenly, I just had to eat some. (Un)fortunately, there was some right in front of me, so I grabbed it and the rest is history. So I'm back in p**hab, hoping to get out before spring gets here and the snow melts and all the p** out there is uncovered and perfect for snacking on...Ooops! I mean, picked up by the people! Gotta go and arrange my bones. Momma cleaned this morning and they're all out of order!

"Need new glasses, mister??"

This morning, momma drank coffee while I was on squirrel patrol, 1st shift. Then we went for a walk in 4 or 5 inches of fluffy, fresh snow - excellent for rolling and nosing around in. A man was driving past us. He stopped, rolled down his window and asked, "Cairn terrier???" I bared my teeth, growled and lunged toward him...Okay, I 'm kidding. Momma said "No, he's a Westie!" The man said, "Beautiful dog!" So I said, "Going to get new glasses, mister?!?!? You need them."
Okay, so I didn't really say that, but I wanted to. I have nothing but admiration and respect for the 'Cairn Terrier', but I AM A WESTIE!!! How does a person mix us up like that??? Good grief...

It snowed!!!

There's lots of snow outside now. It's fresh and clean and fluffy and perfect for messing around in. Dada and I are going for a walk right now. It will be FUN!! Then we're going to visit Grandpa! It's a great day to be me!!!

Wow!

Momma and I were just outside to - privacy, please!- and there was a snow plow coming down our street. The driver waved at ME!!!!!

This is OUTRAGEOUS!

It's very cold here now, 'bout eleventy-forty-two below zero. Still, a guy has to go out to do his stuff, right? So there we were, Momma and I, heading out the front door to my 'special spot', when all of a sudden I noticed SQUIRREL FOOTPRINTS ON MY FRONT STEPS!!!!! I followed that stinking squirrel stench into a nearby snowbank...but I really had to pee, so we went and I did my business. All the while I'm thinking, "SQUIRREL! SQUIRREL! SQUIRREL!" So we headed back to the crime scene where I continued sniffing and searching, sniffing and searching...Then Momma said,"iojuhytYGTrfdsesfg..SNACK...joisdsalo" and we went back inside.

It starts with the letter b.

Bath...Need I say more? It's over now, though and I've been showered - oooh, did I say that??- with cuddles and treats. Momma cranked the heat and it feels good to be warm and dry and clean.

I r sad..

Momma is sick, so we didn't go walking today. She did let me go out onto the deck to yell at squirrels and mess around in the new snow. It was fun. Dada and I will walk tonight after 'werk', but he doesn't let me sniff around like Momma does. He likes to do 'bedience' and stuff.

Home Again!

I'm back from my 'cation at Bob's house while my people went on a big, silver bird to Uncle Paul's place. He lives in that place where they say," It never snows! This is nuts." But it snowed A LOT. They could have used me to help clean up. I love to pretend I'm a snowplow! My person (the one who smells like flowers) thinks that Seattle should invest in some snow removal 'quipment...just in case. "We have fire insurance, just in case," she said.
I had TONS of fun playing with the other doggies at Bob's place. He would open the door and we would run outside with no leashes 'cause he has a 'Westiefied' yard...but who would want to escape??? I slept on Bob's bed and he told me that he will always love me and that I can stay at his place anytime. My life is GREAT!
