Seize the day!

Living in the moment is one of the best parts of being a dog. You humans worry a lot about what is coming down the road. Let some of your worries go, and seize the day!

Take a break!

Us dogs know the value of taking a break. A quick romp gets the blood flowing , relieves stress and best of all makes it easier to go back to work. So today, get a ball, take your dog out and both of you take a break!

Perfect wave!

When you see a perfect wave, go for it! the chance may not come along again .

Dirt Happens!

Humans are now finding out what dogs have always known: a little dirt is good for you ! While I might have carried that thought to extreme here, the research now shows, you stay healthier when there is some dirt around.

Good things come from kids!

Learn to hang with kids. They play with you more, enjoy your company, and often bend the rules on giving treats!

Buckle up for Safety!

I don't know about you , but I hate it when the lady hits the brakes and I slip off the seat. OWWW!

When I was just a puppy she put an end to that by getting me my own seat belt. Now the routine is jump into the car, stand while she puts my harness on , she then attachs it to the seat belt, and then off we go.

Humans buckle themselves in but often forget how we become a flying object in a wreck. Buckle up for safety, it is the only way to go!

Be Polite!

While it might be tempting to move in for the food, I have found it a lot more productive, if you show a little patience and be polite. That piece of cookie in Nana's hand is testing my limit!

Get a checkup!

You humans are such weinies when it comes to health care. Us dogs accept it gracefully, well some of us do, so just get over it and take care of yourself so you can take care of us!

Please don't Litter!

Do your part and help pick up litter! It will make the world a better place.

When you are tired , take a break!

Even active dogs need to take a break. Just sit still for a while and let the world go by, there will be time to get back to it.

Underneath the coat, we are all the same!

Underneath the coat, all of us are the same. Terriers are terriers whether their coats are short or rough, we like the same things. Squirrels!

Needle in the haystack!

Sometimes in life, you need to keep looking, instead of giving up. Looking can be more fun than finding what you seek. Like they say the journey is worth the trip. Me, I will keep seaching for the rascally rodents!

Get a lick!

While I try to limit my sweets, or I should say my lady limits my sweets, I do like ice cream! In moderation, most things that bring you joy are alright.

Tolerance!

I love big dogs that are tolerant of us little dogs. Earl was such a patient fellow, he let me greet him, accepted my kisses and laid down in green pastures with me. Now if we could all get along this well, the world would be a better place!

Just adjust!

Me, I am pretty short. It does limit me sometimes. I can't put my whole head on the table to steal food like some big dogs I know. I can't put my nose directly into my lady's pocket to grab some treats. I can't see over the fence . I just adjust. I can get to the top of the woodpile to survey my domain. So don't complain if you are short, just adjust!

Just me and my shadow!

Last fall at the beach, I had this annoying thing that followed me all day. No matter which way I turned , it followed, I smiled, it smiled, I ran , it ran. I finally just got used to it, and allowed it to stay with me. I think it was a lonely being.

Smile, it gets you treats!

The lady is always making me pose. Here with my friend Kermit, once again, I am having to look pretty. Kermit and I comply with her wishes, mainly because we get plenty of tasty treats. Go with the pose, get the treats!

Tolerance!

While puppies are cute, they can often be tiresome. They romp, they sniff and those of us that are older, just have to learn to tolerate them.

Humans must be deaf!!

Sometimes it amazes me how deaf humans must be. The UPS man is out there and they are oblivious . But the interesting thing is , when I bark , they act like their hearing is going to be impaired by my shrill tone. Go figure! Besides, I am just doing my job.

Watch the world go by!

I have learned over the years to sometimes just sit and watch the world go by. While I would rather be doing something more active like swimming, I am rather dependant on those just sitting around behind me. Maybe if I start some annoying barking??

Eat your Vegetables!

Your Mom is right! Eat your vegetables , they are better for you , don't make you gain weight, and they will do till you are able to get some real food.
