Yep... it most certainly is! Everything was messy today and I got very dirty when I went for my walk with Molly! We got to play agility too! I LOVE agility so much. I love flying through the air over the jumps! Mom says I am the ball of furry!

The tunnel is lots of fun too... I get the zoomies when I go through it!

Molly played too.

Jersey doesn't play much yet... she's a scaredy cat and won't go through the tunnel... and she goes UNDER the jump! That pup has got a LOT to learn. Mom promised that Molly and me get to start agility classes soon. I can't wait! Today we had lots of fun and I am pooped. Time to go make my bed... Mom always makes the bed smooth and spreads out the blanket... I don't it that way. I like it all bundled up under ME!

Don't get me wrong. I am not like Freckles the (most of the time) puppy hater. Just sometimes I can't stand them. They can be so rude.
Like today Molly and me were napping on the couch. And you know what Jersey did? LOOK.

She sat right on top of Molly! I think Molly was in a deep sleep because she didn't even bat an eye. But if Jersey tried something like that with me, it would be the last time she did ANYTHING!

WOO-WOO-WOO! It was my birthday on October the third. I am now four years old! I have also been a member of the Hansen family for THREE WHOLE years! I got extra cookies and supper for my birthday. Jess promised she will throw a party (better than Molly's!) for me soon.

Here is a video starring ME that Jess put together for me for my birthday. I love her.

Happy Birthday, Molly

Today was Molly's birthday and Jess decided to throw her a party. Right... like she deserves one! I expect a party for MY birthday to be thrown on October 4th.. and there'd better be more guests than Molly's friends Luckey and Zoey! Jess took photos, but it was too dark by the time Zoey came over to get a photo of her.

Luckey is kinda silly looking, but he is a good dog.

I did enjoy the cookies that were bought for the party. They were carrot, ginger, and chocolate cookies. Jess said they were fake, but I didn't complain! I like food. We got to play agility too! Zoey and Luckey have never done it before but they did ok. I showed off to everyone. I am the best and fastest!

Anyway, time to enjoy a chewie and go to sleep. Goodnight!

Rest easy, Cooper

It's been a while, once again!

Yesterday was a sad day. Mom, Molly and I found out Cooper, the Lab mix that lived behind us, died. He was hit by a car and killed. Mom was very shocked.. she thought our neighbour was just confused with another dog because Cooper could never die. He was only a young dog like me, full of life!

I feel very bad for Molly. She and Cooper were good buddies. Molly first met him when she was a tiny puppy... he was like a giant to her. They played a lot.. they loved to wrestle. Whenever we passed by Cooper and his Mom on his walks, or walked by his house, they HAD to play.

I didn't much appreciate it when he tried to play with me, though.. I prefer to NOT associate myself with all that rumble tumble stuff.

I still miss him very much, though. He was a very good dog, and he loved everyone and everything. So, God, please take good care of Cooper!

It's been a while!

Mom hasn't let me use the computer for a while. She says I'm a little on the chunky side, (so what?? I like FOOD) and need to lose some weight. That just means we get to spend more time together, though!
Today she took Molly and me to a biiig park that's just a few streets away. No one uses it during the winter so Mom calls it Mickey's park. That's me! It has a whole lot of good scents that I like to follow around and sniff.

Mom was looking after a pretty puppy a week ago or so for her friend. She was a bratty girl, but I still liked her, even though I pretended I couldn't stand her! She really put Molly in her place and Molly didn't bug me at all for two weeks! I enjoyed that.

I wonder when the next distraction for Molly will be coming!

They called me Mickey

Hi everyone. My name is Mickey. I had other names before, but I like my name now much better than any other. I am going to share my story so you can get to know me better.

Let's start when I was Drew. My "people" had two other dogs, Teddy (my brother!!) and an older fellar. They didn't care much for us.. I didn't like them much, they scared me. They would yell at us and hit us.
Then one day we broke free from the backyard!! We found ourselves at a park nearby, and we were playing with a whole bunch of kids. It was a bunch of fun.
Then men with collars came and took us to a cold, lonely place. We were thrown into cages.. with bars between us and freedom. I was terrified!! Teddy wasn't scared.. he was always the braver one.
Then my "people" came and found us.. I was so happy. I thought they would take us away from this awful place.. but they only took the older fellar. I didn't know what to do, or how to feel.. I felt abandoned; unloved.
A few days later, an older woman came. She saw both me and Teddy and was very friendly, but I stayed back.. Teddy totally soaked up the attention, though. Then Teddy left the cage. And never came back.
By this time I was totally out of my mind. I just wanted to close my eyes and... die.
Until the next day. A beautiful lady came in.. she looked at me. She smiled. She smelled like a good person. She seemed very sick, but she was very nice. She took me with her to a farm where there were lots of other dogs. And a new family.
This new family was wonderful. I felt warm inside, I felt loved. They changed my name to something nicer - Bandit, because I have face-mask-like markings. They fed me yummy food, and gave me a bath and made me look pretty.
Then, not too long after, I was put into a van and driven to a strange place. I smelled some yummy food - but I don't think it was for me. The lady driving hopped out, and took me with her. I was happy to have alone time with her, I love nice people. Where were we going, I wondered happily.
I looked around and saw another family nearby.. two girls and a man. They looked nice, but I was still nervous. We walked towards them... The nice lady bent and gave me a kiss and a big hug. She passed my leash to the man's hands and said goodbye. She moved back into her van, and drove away. Why am I always being left behind??
These people put me into their van, and I jumped up onto the older girls lap. Soon we started driving. It was very dark outside, so I couldn't see very much of anything or where we were going.

A few hours later we arrived at a little home. I was very scared.. I had no idea where I was or where my nice family had gone!!! When I walked through the door, a boy and another girl greeted me with happy faces. They didn't seem too bad! Then a lady greeted me. She seemed very sweet and loving. They all did.

They called me Mickey.
