The Small Yet Mighty Chen Po

Tuesday, August 22, 2006

I'm a bit cranky today. Yesterday at the dogpark Josie, my white standard poodle sister, got hurt and has to stay inside with Odette and I. I like it when just the humans and Odette and I are inside all day. The poodles can come inside whenever they want, but i don't like it when theystay inside ALL the time! I know she cant go outside, except to go potty because she hurt her pads on 3 of her feet, but that doesn't mean she has to bug me. When she is inside she lays on the couch which means I have to share. I don't mind sharing with my girl Odette, but Josie is much bigger and takes up the entire thing. She has been eating MY food too. She is such a pig, no wonder she is so big the way she eats. I only like to share my food with Odette, infact I make sure she always eats 1st and chase the big dogs away if they try to eat before she does. Mom has been scolding me all day because i keep telling josie to back off from the food, but mom says I have to share. Josie is the only poodle I have met that is more pig than poodle. She even had to go to the canine ER once because she ate almost everything out of the fridge. Schopenhauer had opened the fridge (he is almost human in what he can do) and Josie ate just about everything in it! Schop didn't eat anything though, he just opens things for the st poodle girls. When mom got home she was shocked. She had forgotten to lock the back doog so Schop had opened it and all the big poodles went inside. That would have been fine, but then Josie ate the fridge (just about). Granted, I love my food, but I don't eat EVERYTHING! We always have food, inside and out, but Josie loves to eat what isnt hers. She isn't fat and doesnt eat to much dogfood, but if she knows she isn't supposed to eat something she does it anyway. When mom got home she thought Josie was suffering from bloat and rushed her to theER (she goes there alot). Luckily Josie was just having tummy trouble, but the vet gave her something to make her sick incase she ate something bad. The vet was amazed by how much that girl ate. She ate entire eggs, shell and all, old pasta (yuck), and everything else that was in the fridge. She had also eaten her dogfood dinner, which came up too. yuck. You would never know josie was such a pig by looking at her. Everyone always tells mom how beautiful she is and what a lady she is. If they only knew what she was like with food... I do like her though. I wish mom would let me have giant peek-a-poos with her. Hehe. Mom says no. Heck, I'd have peke-a-anythings with just about anybody. I am a boy you know :) mom keeps telling me she is gonna get me fixed (whatever that means) but I don't think I'll like that very much. Oh boy, Josie got off the couch, now i can stretch out and relax!

Here are 5 things about me.
1. I love to sneeze on people I know don't like dogs.
2. I snore
3. I don't bark, I talk like a monkey (really).
4. I think I'm a huge dog and don't back down.
5. I freak over peaches and my favorite toy, a squeekie pig.

The player of this game starts with "5 weird things/habits about yourself." Then you tag 5 friends and list their names. The furries who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their 5 weird things/habits, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. Don't forget to leave your victim a comment that says "you're tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

Here'S Odette and I as a pup.




Here's Odette and I, Isnt she pretty? She is at least 6 yrs old and I am 7 months old. You don't think she is too young for me do you? Mom says she is spayed or something like that and that I'm getting "fixed" to, whatever all that means, but that doesn't mean I cant be in love does it? She didn't like the big dogs getting near me when I was little, although the big poodles have always been SO nice. I will have to add a photo of Odette with me when I was a little puppy. Mom says we were cute, of course, I'm never cute (except when I want to get my way) I'm manly! Don't I look manly? After all, Im almost 6lbs.

Girls are So confusing! I live with a beautiful 3lb. teacup poodle named Odette. I really, REALLY like her and sometimes she acts like she likes me too, but then, especially when she is tired, has one of her favorite toys or something, she snaps at me. I just don't understand it. I get SO confused. Mom laughs sometimes and tells me that I look lost and confused when she does that. Mom tried to tell me that she does that because she wants to be the boss, and thats fine with me. I get along with everydog, and I always tell her the boss, but she still snaps at me sometimes. Of course, right after that she will come over to me and lay right next to me. She loves to use my back as a pillow. I guess girls are just confusing. What's a boy to do.

I'm Chen Po, a small beautiful black pekingese with a white spot on my chest. My big silver sister, MoonShadow told me all about this blogging thing and I decided to try it out. I was born Dec. 15th, 2005 (mom guessed on that one) and live with several standard poodles (MoonShadow, JosephineRose, Aspasia, Justice andSchopenhauer)and a teacup poodle (Odette). I used to live with a mand and a woman and their big, mean, black lab. One day when I was very, very tiny, the people took the lab and I to a park. We were having fun at first but then that lab got mad. He attacked me, trying to kill me. The people were embarased or something, grabed that lab, jumped in their truck and abandoned me! Luckily mom saw what happened (although she thought I was a kitten at 1st) ran over and took me to the ER. The vets there told me I didn't have a chance becuase my lungs were so bruised and almost full of blood but mom just couldn't let them put me to sleep. I'm pretty happy about that. $1000 later I was healthy enough to go home. Mom had planed to find me a new home (she does canine foster care sometimes) but I decided I wanted to stay, and what I want I get. After all, its not very hard. All I have to do is look up at mom with my big brown eyes and whatever I had done wrong is forgotten and I get anything I desire. What a great life. All the poodles like me, especially Odette. She thinks I'm her boyfriend. Of corse, I've never met any sane creature or person who didn't like me. That doesn't mean I like everyone though. I'm not very fond of strangers. I'm not scared of them, but don't like how people think they need to get in my face. That might be fine for the poodles, but I'M royalty. I need to be treated like royalty, not as a cute fuzzy little toy. I don't bite, mind you, but I just don't put up with it.
