Rex the Dalmation Back in Black

After getting my shot at the vet the other day, I did a whole lot of nothing for most of the day. But I'm here to tell you that I'm back to my usual wild and crazy self!

When Dad left his Redskins slippers laying around, I got my first real taste of America's Favorite Football Team. It's no wonder everybody loves the Redskins! And how about the way they took care of the Dallas Cowboys? I'm telling you, the Redskins are the real deal. Every time the Redskins scored a touchdown, Dad let out a loud yelp that scared me at first. After the first couple touchdowns, instead of running away, I barked along with him!

I think I have caught Redskin Fever. Please don't tell Mom, because I don't want to go back to the vet. Well, I've got to go now. Some goofy kid wearing a Cowboys jersey is trying to walk past my house. Not on my watch!

Rex the Dalmatian Gets Shot!

Today, Mom took me to the vet to get a shot. She was a little apprehensive about the procedure, and I reassured her that it was going to be okay. Although the shot hurt something terrible, I pretended it didn't hurt at all, so Mom wouldn't get any more upset than she already was. In just a few minutes, we were on our way back home.

As you can probably tell by the photo, the shot made me a little listless. Please don't tell Mom, because that would just make her worry more. Right now, I'm just laying around like a teenager on Christmas break. By tonight, I should be back to my usual energetic self. For now, I think I'll take a nap. See you soon. ZZZZZZZ

Sorry about having to run off the other day. A dog's work is never done!

Some of my younger (two-legged) brother's friends think I'm dumb, probably because I'm so much better looking than they are. If I'm so dumb, how come you never see me walking behind a human, carrying a plastic bag to clean up their people-doo? Even though my brother's friends aren't quite right, they are pretty nice and I like them. I especially like the one that's just the right size to make a delicious before-dinner snack. Lucky for him I'm a vegetarian!

The other night, after I finished barking at Charlie, I reminded Dad not to leave his brand new Redskins slippers laying around. At first, he seemed annoyed, but he soon realized the error of his ways. He and Mom, as well as my two brothers, are nice, and I consider myself lucky to have them as humans.

Uh oh. It sounds like the UPS man. Gotta go!

Rex the Dalmatian

Hi. My name is Rex the Dalmatian. I'm brand new to blogging, and I apologize in advance for any cyber foo-paws I make online. As you can probably tell from my photo, I'm a young fella. I was born in 2005 or 2006. Turn-ons for me include squirrels, wastebaskets with good stuff in them, other dogs, and people walking by my house. Overly-neat houses with nothing laying around are real turn-offs for me. Whenever someone leaves the bathroom door open, I empty the wastebasket all over the bedroom floor. Some people misinterpret this as behavior of a rambunctious rascal. Actually, I'm just providing a thoughtful reminder to my mom and dad (the two-legged variety) to keep the bathroom door closed. Being a thoughtful dog with a strong desire to please, I provide a variety of other thoughtful reminder services, including reminders NOT TO: 1. Leave shoes laying around 2. Leave food on the table or anywhere else within reach 3. Leave anything chewable within reach. My sister, Kixx, a wide-butted Rat Terrier, is a real pain and quite bossy. She's also rather cogitatively challenged. In fact, she doesn't even know how to create a blog. Dumb dog! Well, I've got to go for now. I think I hear my neighbor dog, Charlie, walking around in MY neighborhood. Wuff!
