Disgusting!

I was rather incorrigible yesterday. I pooped and peed all over the house - and in front of Mom's friend from work, Lynne. I am also pretty hyper and have discovered what fun it is to mount mom's leg. Mom and Dad got tired of my exuberance and put me in my laundry prison. God I hate that puppy gate! One day I will be big enough to jump over it, heh heh!

I read a horrid story out of Texas today. Texas - it would happen there!
"Some city officials in Jourdanton, Texas, are outraged that a public works supervisor ordered employees to drown six stray dogs at the city sewer plant, rather than having the animals properly euthanized. For punishment, the supervisor was ordered to attend classes with animal control officers. "

Talk about the punishment not fitting the crime! Classes? Bloody ridiculous. The bastard should have weights attached to his groin and flung in the nearest river. Let's see how he likes it!

Watching the world go by

Today I learnt to jump up on top of the sofa and look out at the passing parade in front of our window. I saw Blanche the stuck up cat, and barked and barked at her. She looked up briefly with a "ooh I'm so scared of you little pipsqueak" expression on her face.

Mom just gave me a bath (again) cos she caught me in mid poop in the living room, picked me up (the indignity of it!) and took me outside. But in so doing, the poop got smeared on my bum and her arm. Ha, that will teach her!

I was looking forward to seeing "Must Love Dogs" with that cool John Cusack, but it got shit reviews...anyway, who am I kidding, we are banned from cinemas anyway - I'll have to rent it on video in a couple of months!

Ow, my butt aches!

Had my first vet visit today. The stupid receptionist had the gall to look at me and ask my dad: "what mixed breed is Axel?" Well Dad didn't like that comment! He valiantly defended my impressive pedigree, while mom looked on amused. Even after explaining my ancestory, the silly woman said, "ok, so he's a Jack Russel?" I mean how much insult can I be expected to take? First a mutt, and then a JR?

I'm feeling kind of woozy tonite - mom and dad tell me it's from the two shots I got by my butt. That was no fun, and nor do I enjoy getting my nails clipped. Plus the cats in the waiting room creeped me out!

I just read a heartwarming doggie do-gooder story online. Joshua, an autistic boy with two golden retrievers who help calm him, almost had to give them up when his family moved across country and the airlines wouldn't take the dogs due to the heat in the cargo area. So unhappily, Joshua's mom put the dogs up for adoption via an autism website. But lo and behold, "A woman from Du Bois in Clearfield County told them, Your dogs are coming with you.
And so this morning, Trikzy and Daisy will begin the first leg of a three-part trip involving volunteers from two states who will eventually take the pair to their new home in what they call a doggie relay. " These nice folks are taking turns driving the dogs to Phoenix. Ahhh, what a great story! Makes my tail wag...

Good night,

Who Smashed Dad's Car?

Mom and Dad are very upset today. It seems some horrid human smashed into Dad's brand new SUV while it was parked overnight a few meters from our house. The whole right side is smashed in - what a mess. Now the car is gone for a week and Dad has to rent one so he can continue to work. They just paid a shitload to get me, and now they have to pay a $500 deductible eventhough this was none of their fault! I hope they don't think about giving me back for a refund to pay for this, EEK!




Tomorrow I believe I have to go to the vet for shots. Mom has to take some of my poop along for the doctor - how completely embarracing!!

Hey, I think I might be in love - her name is Moira and she's from Mississippi! Ain't she cute?

Yesterday I was so naughty - I pooped behind dad's computer, all over the cables when mom was doing work on her computer. Poor mom, she was so relaxed cos I'd just made a big poop outside...even I was surprised when the urge struck me again. Mom did not look happy as she spent about 10 minutes cleaning wires and muttering, 'devil dog' under her breath.

Kitty Kid

So I was reading the Jewish Exponent today - Mom gets it at work and brings it home for me to pee on - and I like to read the births, deaths and marriage notices while I do my biz. Anyway, so I'm looking in the births section, and I read this:

BADER
Mykali Bader announces the arrival of her little sister, Montara Catt Lylli (Matana Co-ach Lamdana).
Montara was adopted Jan. 20 in the Anhui Province of the People's Republic of China.

Montara is named in loving memory of the family cat, Melanie; women's-rights pioneer Carrie Catt; and her great-grandmother Lillian Stein.

Well, had I not already been pissing, I would have pissed myself silly. Imagine being named after a CAT! A dog I could maybe understand, but a cat! The parents better start saving up for therapy - a Chinese kid adopted by a Jewish fam and named after a cat. Oy.

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton got a generous offer for his daughter. "A Kenyan says he offered Bill Clinton 40 goats and 20 cows for his daughter's hand in marriage five years ago -- and is still waiting for an answer."

To my mind, that's a pretty good deal - maybe the Kenyan should throw in a few wire terriers - that would seal the deal for sure.

Get me outta this frigging fur coat!

Greetings all.

The name is Axel G Chocholoza - leave it to the parents to come up with some bizarro name. People assume I'm named after that idiot Axel Rose or the bigger idiot, Axel Foley from Beverly Hills Cop. Wrong! I am named in honor of my maternal grandfather Abe who manufactures axels, and loves my breed. "G" is in honor of my wiry predecessor who grew up with mom in South Africa. Her name was Georgie. They were going to call me George, but I believe there is some other moron by that name who they don't like. Chocholoza I believe means "sweet little thing" in the black SA native language of Tswana. I quite dig that. I especially dig hearing Americans trying to pronounce it. Not the most articulate bunch, are they? Sorry Dad, I know you're American...

Anyway, so I was getting sort of bored being cooped up in the kitchen while mom and dad are at work, so unbeknownst to them, I jumped over my puppy gate, and made my way to the office where I taught myself to blog. Being the son of a webmaster and an engineer, I am quite the techno savvy canine, if I say so myself. Plugging away at the keyboard sure beats chewing those ridiculous doggie toys they come up with - dental rope and rawhide. I mean seriously, would you like to chew that shit?

It is frigging hot today in Philadelphia - 105 F, and I'm stuck in a fur coat! I sometimes wish I looked like one of those freaky Chinese Crested dogs, I'd be willing to sacrifice my good looks to be cool. Mom shlepped me for a walk this afternoon in the blazing heat - we live right near Fairmount Park which is pretty cool, but today I would have preferred to stay in the air conditioned house. Last night I played a prank on my parents and purposefully pissed in the air con vent. Boy, were they steamed!

Ah to be swimming right now. Last Saturday I had my first swim at my paternal grandparent's house - it was a blast!



Anyway, gotta dash, the petsitter Rose is due to arrive - mom hired her out of guilt for leaving me alone during the day. Haha, she should only know what fun I have when she is out. Between surfing the web, watching TV and finding new places to pee, life is swell!
