I come across these videos on You Tube and I'm not sure if I'm amazed or perturbed. If these videos get out and the humans get some crazy idea that all doggies should do these amazing "tricks" or should I say peasant labor then we are all in trouble. My mom has already watched these videos a couple times each and she even showed them to my dad. I heard her say maybe she should spend more time training with us and then we could do cool tricks like that. What is going on here? By the way I know plenty of tricks like sit, down, shake, high five, etc... I'm already being taken to training classes. Yes, I know I'm not required to participate I've been able to observe and wiggle in the grass but what if this just keeps escalating and before you know it I'll have to work. Work !!! Ugh !!! I thought the humans were supposed to make the tea and toast, do the laundry and shopping, and take care of us. What is this world coming to.
Here are the videos if you wanna see what's got my fur all twisted.
Ok. I must admit Jesse is one cute Jack Russell Terrier. He's smart, bouncy, enjoys yummy treats, and I think I would enjoy bouncing and romping with this little guy. (Shhh, don't tell my boyfriend - the chihuahua neighbor) You can tell Jesse really enjoys everything he is doing. He looks so happy and after a trick well done he's looking for his reward. He's got a lot of talent and I would love to see Bella learn all these cool tricks too. I'm sure she could do them easy :) This is yet another great example of how you don't have to use any force or physical manipulation on us doggies for us to do what you would like. All you have to do is ask kindly and reward generously and appropriately. Everyone deserves a paycheck for a job well done.
I am admiring his talent and his handsomeness and I'm torn between adoring him and wishing he could be my neighbor too and loathing him for causing my Mom to wanna teach us new things. I like getting all the yummy treats when learning new things but I'd rather she just hand them to me because I'm so amazingly beautiful....which has worked very well for me so far and it's so much easier that way. I don't confused because I can do amazingly beautiful all day ;)

Silly Sunday
These fun photos were captured before, during, and after our training class.
What??? I wasn't the one in class. The bobbsey twins were taking their class and I was just ummmm, unwinding a bit. Enjoying the beautiful sunshine and fresh grass. Okay, maybe I was bragging a little bit that I didn't have to work and the bobbsey twins did ;) A Queen does have that privileged you know.

Sweet Pea Goes to School
Mom and Dad said I have to go to school. It involved a ride in the EmmaMobile so of course I said lets go! I had no idea what they were talking about, but whenever we ride in the EmmaMobile we usually end up somewhere fun and eating yummy food. We drove and drove and drove and drove and when we arrived I met this new lady and she was very friendly. She tossed food in all directions on the ground and I sniffed them out and ate them. Then Mom and Dad did the same game with me. Then Dad and the teacher lady did this game where food was placed way in front of me and the teacher showed me the food and then took it away and showed me where she put it way in front of me and I tried to go get it but we would get almost there and then Dad turned around and we were going in the complete opposite direction, Huh? Then we turned around and I tried to go to it again and then - repeat. What's this about? Finally I made it! I did notice that if the leash remained loose I was allowed to continue walking toward the food, but if I got in a hurry and tried to pull we turned around and went away from the food, Hmmmm. I wonder what this means? The teacher gave Mom and Dad a lot of papers to read and I heard Mom and Dad say we have homework to do. What's homework?
On the way home we got BURGERS ! They are so yummy.
We have been doing our homework and let me tell you it's kinda confusing and I really can't pay attention that long. Don't they know there is more important things to do like sniff and bark and sniff and bark and sniff. Why am I eating food off the ground? Why are we walking forward then turning around and walking back then turning around and walking forward? Do they know we are never going to get anywhere that way. I'll do whatever they want because they give me food when it's not even meal time. I've been getting things like cheese ravioli, hot dogs, string cheese, zukes, Three Dog Bakery cookies. Keep this homework stuff coming because the increase in yummies is awesome.
Here's a little peek at me doing my homework. Can anyone guess which one of our blog friends inspired our choice of music?
Hint: He's relentlessly huge, brindle, lives on an estate, has a Pea too as a member of his family, and his name is said in the song.
Answer: Mango
Hey Mango, did you hear them say your name? It's called "Mango Walk". Arf,Arf,Arf, isn't that just soooo funny? It's called Mango Walk and I'm learning loose leash walking and my friend his name is Mango. Funny!
Gotta go all this homework has made my brain tired. I think I'm going to go take a snooze.
Pee S: Here are some helpful links to Loose Leash Walking if anyone is interested. We only use kind and respectful training techniques. No prong, pinch or choke collars.
Maybe our next post can break it down step by step how I am learning this valuable "trick". Mom likes to keep it light and fun and calling it "obedience" just sounds depressing. If it's fun we will both want to do it. Everything we learn is a "trick" and the process of learning it is a game. We always end our lesson when we have "won" the game which means we have successfully achieved our goal or successfully completed a step toward our goal. The foundation for any trick or behavior is to have our attention.

Vacation Flashback continued
Dad, that's my blankie
The moment I've been waiting for..............Folly Beach, South Carolina
Well, we didn't see any dolphins but we found lots of pretty seashells and the sand was so very soft between our toes. We left our foot prints all along the beach. The bestest part ever is we had the whole entire beach to ourselves. Absolutely no one in sight anywhere. Mom and Dad we in heaven. The waves were gentle and the clouds were as puffy as marshmallows (one of our favorite treats, mmmm).
After our stroll along the beach we took a walk through a really nice local park with a dog park and swimming pond. We didn't use the dog park too many people. We walked the paved trails. You won't believe what kind of weird sign we come upon.
Don't worry we didn't see any and Mom and Dad wouldn't allow us anywhere near the water. We were perfectly safe.
On to more beaches. Isle of Palms, South Carolina.
This stop wasn't planned but it was close enough and we hadn't gotten enough of the ocean breeze, sand between our toes and magnificent smell. My nose has never sniffed such things and my ears..the ocean breeze kept them stuck out there like airplane wings.
All this ocean air and walking sure did work up an appetite so Mom and Dad took us to this cute little dog bakery in Charlotte, South Carolina. We each got lots of yummies and some new toys called Egg Babbies. Bella got a turtle and mine was a Dinosaur. I really don't know what all the fuss is about. Bella just loves pulling those silly squeaky eggs out so Mom can stuff them back in. It's way too much work if you ask me.
On the road again. We are headed back to Tennessee. We found a cute little park with a paved walking trail and at night they light it all up for Holidays.
Can you see the eagle catching the fish? This is Mom and Dad's favorite because it's animated. The eagle starts on the right side and swoops down, catches the fish and flies off to the left. We don't have fancy Christmas light displays like this back home.
We had a fun filled two weeks. All the excitement and adventure the little one just couldn't keep her eyes open.
Hey, why did I get the broken bed?
This is the hotel where Bella gave Mom a heart attack. It was late and dark. We always go in first with Mom and she holds our leashes and lets us sniff around while Dad unpacks the EmmaMobile. Bell jumped up on this bed and it clunked and she shot off that bed like a rocket just as Dad opened the door. Dad blocked her and I'm sure had some very stern words for Mom. In a flash Mom had the most horrible thoughts of Bella lost and alone in the dark near a busy highway. The number of horror filled thoughts and images that can quickly pass through ones brain is totally amazing. Mom and Bella slept in the not scary bed. I honestly don't know what the big fuss was about. As you can see I slept perfectly well. Out of all our travels I do have to say this was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. The only compliment it gets is it was dog friendly. The first room they gave us smelled like a mechanics garage and the tile floor area was like walking on an oil slick, very slippery. We requested a different room and it had the same problem but the odor wasn't as bad. Mom and Dad had to use all the rooms towels to cover the tile floor area because they didn't know that was on the floor and they didn't want us to get it on our feet and then lick them. We would have just kept searching but it was very late and Mom and Dad were very tired.
Another dog bakery. This one is in Lexington, KY Bluegrass Barkery
And another dog bakery
Which one do I want? So many yummie choices why can't I have 2 of each?
Then we stayed at one last hotel before returning home. This hotel is Mom's favorite. For being dog friendly they are very luxurious. Can you believe they even have comfort level pillows so if you aren't happy with your pillows fluffiness you can request others.
I really like this hotel too. The bed is so soft like those marshmallow clouds from the ocean. The only thing is I require Dad's assistance to get up on the bed. I have no idea why it's so high. The room is so full with furniture and this King size bed there isn't enough room for me to get a running jump. It's the tallest bed I've ever seen. Bella hops up and down like it's no big deal.
Another dog bakery.
This concludes our 2009 vacation flashback. I sure did enjoy my stroll down memory lane and now I'm even more excited about our upcoming vacation for 2011. I sure hope two weeks goes by much slower then it did then or even last year. We have so much fun it seems like it's over just when it's beginning.

Vacation Count Down
There has been a lot of buzz in the air lately about vacation. I've been hearing the words ocean, waterfalls, cabin and Mom telling Dad it's time to get things booked and scheduled. I think we might be going to see the ocean. I am so excited because I love the soft sand between my toes and the way the wind blows my Great Dane ears out like air plane wings. It sure does make Mom and Dad smile and laugh a lot and that makes me very happy. We went to the ocean a couple years ago and I enjoyed it so very much Mom and Dad promised to take me back. I loved it so much that when they were ready to leave I refused to get in the EmmaMobile. I never refuse to do anything ;) I wanted to stay. The air even smells different at the ocean.
I didn't have a blog when we went before and it was so very much fun that I still love sharing my memories of those two glorious weeks with my family. I would like to share them now.
Mom wanted to go to Folly Beach South Carolina because we had never seen the ocean and she had read it was a great location to view dolphins and she thought walks along the beach would be nice and soft on our feet and much more comfortable than paved walks or gravel trails. That was our destination and along the way we discovered.....................
What? No,no,no not a bookstore come on Dad. I thought we were going to do something fun.
First stop for us girls Red River Gorge and Nada Tunnel just outside of Lexington, KY. Here we drove through a very dark hole in the hill.
We couldn't get any good pictures of the inside of the tunnel because there weren't any lights. So if you wanna know what the inside of Nada Tunnel looks like go into a very dark room and close your eyes ;) hehehehe :)
After going through the tunnel we found a nice wooded trail to stretch our legs and check out the scenery.
Next stop is Cumberland Falls, KY. It gets 8 paws up from us because dogs are allowed. It's very pretty with several nice observation decks with good views of the waterfalls.
Then we saw something totally amazing.........
The Great Smoky Mountains
We stopped long enough to pick up a souvenier for Grandpa and Grandma at the Old Mill General Store. The Old Mill General Store, Mill and Restaurant is located along the river running through Pigeon Forge in the center of all the touristy shops on Winfield Dunn Parkway.
What we found on our return stop is a nice park...more about that later. Lets stay in order so I won't get confused and miss something important.
We decided once we saw those beautiful giant mountains we must be sure to return via the same route and spend some time exploring the area. Surely there would be places for us girls to stretch our legs and sniff about. We would have to wait several days to explore these sites and smells.
This photo is one of the first glimpses we got of the mountains as we entered Pigeon Forge, TN on the Winfield Dunn Parkway and it doesn't do the beauty of the area the justice it deserves. The parkway is a very touristy area and you have to leave this and venture off to see the real magnificence there is to behold. Hold on to your tail we will get back to this later.....on with our journey down memory lane.
Next stop Asheville, North Carolina. We arrived just in time to get in a nice hike at the Arboretum. Because it was getting late and the sun as not cooperating and setting already Mom must have forgotten to take pictures. It was also wooded and the lighting dim so even if we had taken pictures they probably wouldn't have turned out very well. The night sure does creep in too quickly we just got started and it's already time to find a soft bed and some yummies for our tummies. We had a little trouble finding a pet friendly hotel but after stopping at the pet store and using their phone book to call around we did find one. We can always count on Motel 6 to leave the light on for us :) And while Mom and I were in the pet store we picked up two new pals to join us on our road trip. Frog and Turtle.
For tummie yummies Mom and Dad found a new restaurant chain that serves the BEST sweet potato pies, Bojangles. Has anyone ever eaten at a Bojangles? If you ever get the opportunity you just gotta get ya one of those sweet potato pies. We don't always eat fast food, but wherever we eat one of my peoples always goes in to order and brings it out for us to eat in the EmmaMobile. We are never ever left alone in the vehicle or motel. So it always takes us much longer to do things because Mom and Dad always have to go one at time if we stop at any shops or attractions where us girls can't go. I know it's hard to imagine anyone not wanting us to grace their establishment. After all I'm practically a celebrity the way people flock to give me attention and pets wherever I go.
You'll notice in our hotel photos we cover the beds with our own comforters and blankets to keep dog hair off the hotel linens. We hope it keeps the hotel staff happy and will help them maintain a pet friendly establishment.
To our joy we discovered there is a Three Dog Bakery right here in Asheville, NC. We sure couldn't move on without some pawcakes and puptarts. That is where the picture of me over on the side of my blog was taken. The people are so friendly. The pastries are delicious.
We left Three Dog Bakery with a sack full of yummies and traveled scenic Hwy 74 to Chimney Rock, NC and along the way we gazed upon some of the most beautiful landscape. Crisp mountain water flowing over giant river boulders. It was absolutely heavenly.
Could this be our prince waiting for us..... we had to kiss him and find out.
What you never saw a dog kiss a frog before?
The trek up Chimney Rock is breath taking, literally. There are over 600 steps to climb :O
Dogs are allowed to climb up if they are up to the extreme challenge. Mom met some Schnauzer doggies at the tip top lookout point. Their owner had to carry the smallest of the three because it couldn't navigate the steps. Dad said if us girls go Mom gets to carry the Emma.
Mom and Dad didn't think it would be a good idea for us to go treking up all those steps so they took turns while one stayed with us and we admired the view from ground level. Mom climbed up first and then Dad. Mom was surprised at how quickly Dad returned and couldn't believe he climbed all those stairs so fast. Yes, he workouts more consistently but Wow! Then he told her he stopped at the half way point lookout. He said it's the same view from either platform why keep climbing. You know he's right....why couldn't he have said that sooner :)
I know, I know our destination is the ocean.
Come on ocean where are you???
