Boy, oh boy, oh boy!!! Me did it today!!!! Me caught a squirrel today. Yep, me Murphy tha boxer pup caught meself a squirrel in me own back yard. It was sort of already dying but me got it!!!! See this iz what happened.
Me waz just hangin out in me back yard w/all tha snow and all of a sudden me spotted it. A grey fuzzy thing waz laying on tha ground sort of flopping around. Being tha naturally curiouz boxer me iz, of course me trotted right ober there to see what it was. Me can't tell you how surprised me waz to see that squirrel. Thiz iz tha same ole squirrel that would race up and down tha fence tormenting me and Bugz, and here it waz on tha ground at me mercy. Me thought about it for a boxer second and decided me would teach that ole squirrel a lesson about teazing me and Bugz. Me snatched it up and then dropped it cauze about that time Mommy and spotted all ob tha activity in tha back yard.
Mommy came running outside barefoot in tha snow calling me. Well me waz too caught up in tha excitment ob teaching tha squirrel a lesson to pay attention to her and tha commandz herz was giving me. Her said "MURPHY, Leave it" and me couldn't. Then "MURPHY, drop it" and me did but me picked it right back up again. Then herz tried "MURPY lets go for a ride". Well thiz iz a sure fire way to get me to come to her so me dropped tha squirrel and started towardz her but then me wanted to take the squirrel for a ride too. So Mommy tried "DROP IT" and "MURPHY, letz go for a walk". And me dropped tha squirrel and started for her again but again, me wanted to take the squirrel with me.
Then, Bugz and Daddy heard all tha commotion and wanted to come out to see what waz happening. Mommy saw Bugz and told Daddy to crate him so himz wouldn't try to take the squirrel from me and start a fight. In tha mean time herz knew herz had to do something to break me fixation on tha squirrel. Herz, being the smart human herz iz, grabbed the pooper scooper thingy and banged it against tha grill. Tha noize waz so loud it made me look up and jump. Herz did it again and called me "MURPY, COME" and me obeyed and trotted right in tha house and Daddy put me im me crate.
It waz a trick so themz could take that ole squirrel ,who waz now completely dead, and throw it away. That wazn't berry fair me doezn't think. It waz me squirrel and themz took it and threw it away, all becauze themz was afraid I would eat it or bring it in tha houze. Mommy sayz cauze it waz already almost dead, herz waz afraid it might have been poizoned or sick and herz didn't want that to happen to me. Okay so maybe herz waz right but me iz still offically a hunting dog now cauze me caught it eben if it waz already almost deat.
And thatz my story.

pocket water bowls
It waz such a beautiful weekend that our peoplez took us for walkz both dayz! This waz a really good thing except me thought me waz going to drop from exhauztion on Saturday. See we hadn't done much walking ober tha winter and so me waz really out of shape. Daddy took us for a longer walk than usual and wore me little boxer butt out. Me waz so tired that instead of sitting at the curb before crossing me laid down. To say me little butt waz draggin iz putting it mildly. Mommy cautioned Daddy to take it slow and let me build up me stamina, what ever that iz, cauze me can't tell him when me haz had enough.
Sunday Daddy tooked Bugz for a nice long walk and me and Mommy went for a nice little walk that waz good for juzt us two. We waz gone only about a half hour and we waz both tired, not az tired az Saturday but a nice pleasant tired. Bugz on tha other hand waz plumb tuckered out when himz got back from himz walk with Daddy. Themz had been gone a couple hourz and himz waz a really thirsty pup. Daddy tried to offer himz water from tha water bottle but Bugz wouldn't drink.
This little problem needed a solution, the kind only our peoplez could solve. Themz went to tha pet store and found little foldup and put in your pocket, canvaz water bowlz for us. Mine iz a really cute striped one and Bugz is red. Mommy and Daddy put water in them to show us what them iz for. I drank out of both them little bowlz but Bugz being the OC dog himz iz didn't take but a little sip out of himz bowl. Me iz so glad we have smart people az our human parentz!!!
OH yeah, we got a new toy too. One of them thingz that throwz tha little tennis ball really far and we going running like crazy after tha ball to bring it back. We iz going to go to tha ball field now and play fetch.

Deck o Cards
We had a lovely dinner party last night with Auntie Margaret, Hank and Auntie Margaret's friend John. It waz lovely cauze me and the boyz gotz to lay in tha living room with tha peoplez and be social. Then being the good boyz all three of uz iz, we laid on tha rug in tha living room while the peoplez had dinner.
After dinner the peoplez decided to play cardz. Thatz when thiz little boxer pup realize himz didn't like the sound of cardz being shuffled. Mostly it waz cauze me had never heard a deck of cardz being shuffled before and it upsetted me. Tha ole silly Auntie waz shuffling cardz and me sat up looking really interested in the whol operation. Hers couldn't leave well enough alone, nope not Auntie, herz had to push tha envelope and shuffle them thingz in me boxer face. You know what comez next right? Me tried to grab them cardz from her handz with me toothz. Me didn't get them and Mommy made me come on the other side of her chair away from Auntie.
Then is waz Mommy'z turn to shuffle them cardz. Herz didn't shuffle them in me face but the offending sound made me go after them cardz in Mommy'z hand. NOT A GOOD THING TO DO!!!! Me little tooth scrapped Mommy's finger az me tried to grab them cardz from her hand. Boy waz her mad at me!!! She made me lay down beside her and herz fussed at me for being a silly dog. Then John waz going to shuffle cardz cauze it waz himz turn and me waz starting to show interest again at going for tha cardz. (notice Mommy pays attention to me signals) Soooo, because Auntie don't know when to leave me along and not antagonize me, me and tha boyz got sent to ta den and had tha gate put up to keep uz there.
Me sure wishez Auntie would learn that me iz not Hank, who is a very easy going Lab, and learn me iz a very reactive type dog who don't like to be teazed. Ebery time she cauze me to be bad her excuze is me can do that with Hank, or herz hazn't learned to read my body language or signz. What iz her blind???
