Weekend Fun

Hi every one

Hope you all had a nice Easter.  Sage & I spent Saturday mostly in the yard.  I gave her a smoked cow bone and she loved it.  The whole time I was cutting the grass and doing yard work she was chewing on that bone.  Easter we slept in a little.  When we did finally get going Sage had her Easter dinner.  I added fat free gravy to her dog food and she just ate it up.  After her dinner and a walk Sage took a nap while I went to the Schultz’s for a very nice dinner.  They had so much food and it was all very good.  I got home and Sage and I were playing on the floor when Mike called and asked Sage & I to come over for some more food.  Mikes Mom made a bunch of potato salad and it was fantastic.  That and some ham was all I could eat.  Sage had a ball running around meeting all the people there.  She was very well behaved end even let us know she needed a potty break.  It was very lady like not to pee on the carpet.  By the time we got home we were both worn out.  Sage just collapsed right in the middle of the living room and went to sleep.  And that’s how our weekend went.  Hope you had a nice Easter!

Happy Easter

Sage here

Ron & I would like to wish a Happy Easter to everyone..  I hope the Easter Beagle was good to everyone.  Yes I said beagle.  It is time for the truth to come out.  Come on did you really think a bunny could do all that.  Please the only thing a rabbit would leave behind are little dark pellets on your floor.  And we all know how you humans are about that.  The Easter Beagle does go a long way to humor you as the picture above shows.  And here is a little hint.  Don’t eat the Yellow eggs!  It’s kind of like the yellow snow thing.  You may ask how does the Easter Beagle do all this.  Well all puppies are born with some magic powers.  You ever notice how a puppy can one moment be by your side and the next moment be in the bathroom with all your towels on the floor and the toilet paper all over the place.  That’s puppy magic.  The Easter Beagle never lost his puppy magic.  Oh another hint.  Keep the bathroom door closed Easter Eve.  He still likes to play with the toilet paper.  Anyways hope you all have a great Easter.

Till next time

Where did he hide those eggs?

Q & A

Hi Guys Ron & Sage here!

We thought we would answer some of the many questions we get.

Sage:  We got questions?  From who?

Ron: Our many readers.

Sage:  Oh Your Mom.

Ron:  Just go with me on this.  First question.  Sage are you potty trained?

Sage :  Wow getting personal right off the start.  Well I have always been able to go potty.  Well except for the night I ate the three cheese buretto, Ill never do that again.  But yes Ron has convinced me to go outside when duty calls.  Now Ron still goes inside the house and the smell

Ron: OK OK next question.  Sage are you a picky eater"

Ron:  LOL  LOL  LOL!!!!   Let me answer this one She will eat rocks!

Sage:  Well OK No I'm pretty flexible on what I eat.

Ron:  next question for Sage.  Sage do you know any tricks?  

Sage:  Oh sure pick a card any card.  Just kidding!  Yes my favorite is called Squat!  I just squat in the living room and Ron comes running from where ever he is.  He learned that one real fast.

Ron:  OK next  Oh this one's for me.  Ron what do you do when Sage misbehaves?

Ron: I take away her Lab top.  She hates that.  She can't go on line and read her Snoopy cartoons.  Oh I did catch her with a Garfield cartoon on.  She turned it off and claimed it must of been a virus.

Ron:  This is for Sage.  Are you over the Stalker thing.

Sage : Yes,  It was really scary but now I heard she has turned her attention to stalking Alex from my puppy class.

Ron : Time for one more.  Sage Did you really try to bite Kacey in the butt?

Sage:   Oh yes! Someone had to get her going.  Kacey has the good life.  Sleep on Peggy's knee, poop and eat.  I was just trying to get her play.  We are really good friends and we flea-mail each other all the time.

Well time for us to go! Till next time! 

Hi Guys

Just got back from puppy class.  Sage is doing pretty good but we still need to work on stay.  I tell her to stay and she gives me a look like why?  There is a St Bernard attending class.  As soon as the two see each other they try to get to each other.  The third dog is named Alex.  He is a tiny little thing and cute as can be.  All three dogs are doing very well.   Now during class Sage passed gas but we just looked at Rocko like he did it.  Hey it worked.  Sage had to pass a couple of test tonight.  First she had to prove she would not be aggressive when you take a toy from her.  No problem for her.  Then she had to show she could come when called from over ten feet away.  She passed both tests.  She also passed something else again but we blamed Rocko again.  Not much else going on tonight so I’ll keep it short.  Oh yah the picture above is of Alex.

See `you later!

Here's the Poop

Sage here!

  I have say Ron is starting to worry me a little bit.  It all started when Ron collected my poop in a plastic container and had to show it off to the Vet.   A little odd I thought but to each it’s own.  But then I would see him out in the yard collecting my poop.  The man really needs to get a hobby or something.  He also gets way to excited and cheers me on when I try to go poop.  It’s hard to go when you have that kind of pressure on you.  You try it some time.  Then last weekend he is out in the back yard digging a hole.  Now if  I did that he would have a fit.  But anyway he worked hard digging that hole.  Then I see him putting the poop in the hole.  I don’t know if that his version of buried treasure or what.  But if he asks you to go on a treasure hunt SAY NO.  I once heard that some people will bury their valuables in the yard for safe keeping.  Well if that’s his valuables we going to have to get on food stamps.  The other thing I don’t understand is I work hard at spreading the poop all a round the yard.  Then he goes and picks it all up and then pays a guy to put fertilizer down.  That’s what I just did!  Oh well, humans are hard to figure out.

Till next time!

Hi Guys
Well as you all know the price of gas at the pump has been going up.  But here we seem to have an abundance of gas.  Last night I ended up moving Sage to the living room because she was stinking me out of the bedroom.  So today I did a little exploring on the Internet on what to do about it.  What I found was surprising.  The name brand puppy food I was feeding her was not real healthy for her.  You should check your dog food and make sure the first ingredients is not a filler.  It should be some type of meat, like chicken, lamb or beef.  The food I was giving her first ingredient was corn.  This is hard for the dog to digest and may be what causes her to have gas.  I am trying a food for large breed puppy's called Exclusive.  It's number one ingredient is chicken.  One sign it is working better is her stool should become much smaller and she should have less gas.  Lets hope it works! I was afraid the carbon monoxide detector was going to go off last night. This food is a little more expensive than what I was getting but is one of the less expensive   better quality foods.  So I will let you know how it all works out.
So tonight I got home and it was such a nice afternoon we went out and relaxed on the back bench swing. It was a nice, sunny 70 degree day.So after relaxing on the swing with an ice cream for a while we decited to come in for dinner.  I gave Sage a blend of her old dog food and her new food.  You don't want to just change the food because it may upset her stomach.  After dinner I decided to give Sage a bath. It will be the last time she takes a bath in the sink.  She just getting to big for that.  We both ended up soaking wet.  After drying her off Sage was all charged up.  She was running all over the house just having a great time.  At one point she was running so hard she ran into the wall with a thud. But it didn't slow her down.  But now she has settled down and is taking a nap.  So it is a good time for me to go relax and watch some TV.  So see you later>

Yard Work.

Sage here!

It’s been a nice weekend.  Ron & I went out for a couple of walks and I spent a lot of time out in the yard supervising the yard work Ron was doing. It was nice to relax after the big stalker scare.  Anyway I taught Ron a new trick.  I just raise my paw and touch his hand and he gives me a treat.  Sometimes he is so easy to train.  I have to say I enjoy it when Ron turns on the radio.  Some of my favorite songs are…. What’s labs got to do with it.  By Tina Turner.  The night the labs went out in Georgia.  I also like some songs by an old group called 3 Dog Night.  Ron was happy Sunday morning. We both got up at 6:00 for a potty break, but then we both went back to sleep until 8:00.  That’s when I decided he was sleeping the day away and it was time to get up and feed me.  You know having a human is a lot of work.  A new game we play is I hide my toys under the furniture and Ron has to find them.  If he is not fast enough I go and find one of his socks and chew a hole in it.  Well I’m going to go now.  I’m a little bit gassy so I think I’ll go lay down by Ron’s feet.  You know it’s the little things in life that makes it fun.

Till next time!
