I'm a 'log! And a talking (mooing) dog!
Hi everybody!
This is so fun, talking to the whole world on the computer! When I try to speak, I can make a lot of sounds, but mostly they sound like "bark" and "woof" and "ron". (That's my alpha guy; I have a special sound I make for him.) I also have very special sounds, like "mmmoooooooo" which means I'm really relaxed and happy, or, when I do it really loud, I want to make the pack laugh! I can also say "MMM Hmmm" when my girls are petting just the right spot. And sometimes I sing in different pitches when I'm trying to coax someone into giving me a snack. I try to vocalize the same tones my humans do, but they think it's funny when I do it.
My life wasn't always so fun. More about that at some later post.
My girlfriend Tessa lives across the street. But she just turned 54, and I've been "tutored", so we're really just platonic friends. I really like to visit her though. She's got a great back yard, and two great female human pack members. Can you believe her Human Mom Nancy is 565 years old???? She sure doesn't seem it. She goes on really great walks with Tessa, and sometimes Alison (my alpha female) and I go with them. I don't know exactly how old Alison is, but it sure is a whole lot less than 565 years!
I have my eye on a cute little corgi puppy named Mazie, who lives next door with her brother Owen and some humans that I used to bark at. Mazie and Owen have tails; I heard that there's another kind of corgi with no tail. Tails are really important to me. Mine is most of the time in a donut shape coming up over my back. In the Winter I sometimes wrap it around my nose if it's too cool indoors. My pack used to have a schipperke named Spock, but he went to the Rainbow Bridge. I still can smell his scent sometimes, though, and I think he's giving me hints about my pack members and how to get them to do what I want! I heard that Spock had no tail. What? I would really miss my tail if I didn't have it!
It used to be I could only touch noses with Mazie and Owen under the fence, because they hadn't had all their shots yet. But whenever I was in the yard, I'd hear Mazie's cute little bark calling me over to rub noses. I remember the first time her human alpha male held her up over the fence for Alison and Alexa to see, and, Oh, my heart be still! What a magnificent set of ears she has!
We've spent all Fall and Winter, dig, dig digging under the fence. For a while Mazie and Owen could stick their whole heads under the fence, so we would have two corgi heads in our yard, with the corgi bodies next door (still attached to the heads, sillies!) Then their humans started putting rocks in our digging holes. Well, we will just have to dig some more. The corgis are really great diggers!
Oh, in the back yard that backs up to my back yard, there are two funny looking little brown dogs with short legs and floppy ears, and silly thin tails. My folks call them "wiener dogs" or "doxies". Abilgail the doxy barks A LOT. In fact, let any dog in the neighborhood bark once, or let a possum or raccoon show up on the fence, and Abilgail is unstoppable! Oliver lets Abilgail take care of all the watchdog work. Oliver is pretty laid back.
I'll tell you more about my neighborhood later. I'm really excited to be a log!
Love to you all, Merlin, also known as Merlino, or Moo, and (sometimes) Charlie
