Rantings of a Creole Princess

Lucy and Jaru don't like snow either...

Lucy:  Yo azz ain't cute taking pics from INSIDE the house.  Punk azz.

Jaru:  You know I'm not going over there right?  Right.  Imma take care of my business right here on the sidewalk where it was cleaned off 12 inches ago.

Our Jaru is hurt...

I fell asleep last night and was dreaming about flying.

Again.

I jumped up because all the lights were on and something wasn't right.  Robby was standing there with a helpless look on his face and something in his hand and when I saw him...my stomach lurched.  

Because of that look on his face.  My Robinator can do anything.

Jaru Photo Shoot!

Reason # 19,462 Why I Love Him So...

Not only I think he gives the BEST hugs.

The Indoor Dog Restroom: HotNESS or HotMESS? (SM)

SIP:  The person who invented this has OBVIOUSLY never smelled one of Jaru's whoppers.

People take ish too far...

Tea Cup Pig Pet Boom

Would you buy one?

Jaru

A Lucy Sneeze

Free to Good Home

He's really funny ackin so keep that in mind. 

He won't go outside if there are leaves on the deck.

He doesn't like messes of ANY kind.

He doesn't like people with unfortunate features.

He eats human grade doggie food.

He eats organic everything else.

He doesn't like even a SPECK of anything in his water bowl.

He is not a fan of outside because it seems dirty to him.

When you're out of town he WILL sleep in your bed.

He isn't the kind of dog that will eat off the floor and will look at you like you're crazy if you drop something on the floor for him.  You will have to put it in his mouth or in his bowl but none of that on the floor crap.

He enjoys taking a bath.

He goes to bed at the same time every night whether or not you're ready and if you make noise heading to bed he will look at you as if you REALLY NEED TO CHECK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU WRECK YOURSELF!

Even if you have a fenced backyard he will NOT be interested unless you put a sofa out there and it's very neat.

Oh...and when he's mad...he REALLY fusses at you in his own version of Boxer language.

Yeah...I'm giving him away. 

Why?

Cuz he's a PONK.

My Guard Dog

Lucy AKA "The Debil Dog" is never in a room I'm not in.   Makes me smile.  :)

Doggies!

If you were to get a new doggie...what kind would you get? 

Mouse in the House Cat Toy

What say you? http://www.catdancer.com/ Um...Babs???? This might be a solution for you and TH! LOL!

Boxers and Babies

If you want a dog that LOVES babies and kids. Imma suggest you look at Boxers.  Jaru and Lucy LOVE them some kids!

Dear Dog Lovers...From Kat:

Hi Monica.

If you have time and you wouldn't mind, I'm wondering if you can put a
shout out to  have dog lovers come to my web site and leave a comment
for a post I did for my friend who just lost her dog. She just lost
her mom a year ago and now she has lost her dog. Rather than send here
a sympathy card, I wanted to do something bigger. I wanted to have dog
lovers from all over the US leave her a message letting her know that
they understand and their thoughts are with her. I think this would
make her feel really nice, knowing so many people understand. Her
holiday is going to suck and I'm hoping to find some way to bring her
cheer.  http://www.threecentstamp.com/?p=1064

Thanks,
Kat

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JARU!!!!!

Our baby boy is 5!

Question...

If your pet could suddenly talk...what would they say?

Doggie Dookie

Every morning after taking the dogs out I pick up crap.  Usually 5 piles of it from the night before (I don't pick up dog crap from the yard at night cuz I'm not trying to accidentally pick up a frog or snake) and from the current morning.

Every morning I grumble.

Every morning I'm annoyed as hell that I'm actually outside picking up dog crap. 

I tie up the bags and toss them in the outside trash.  Another thing I don't like doing.  Messing with trash.

I then round the corner and I see two faces anxiously awaiting me to open the door and when I do it's like someone hit the party switch cuz they start dancing.  Like...WE'RE SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY TO SEE YOU HOME!  HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN NOW?  WE MISSED YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!  They jump up and bark, twirl around in giddy circles and run back and forth sliding across the floor in PURE MIRTH AND EXCITEMENT! 

And every morning I burst out in the biggest grin alive, my heart swells and I dance with them.  Dude...it's the best feeling in the WORLD!

I'll be picking up shit forever.

Hmmmmmm...

Do you think dogs watch television?

Bayou Prince Jaru

We've had Bayou Prince Jaru since he was a wee pup.  He was soooooo cute as a puppy.  His first two nights with us he woke Robby up at 2:00 am to go out.  The third night Robby was out of town and when Jaru woke at 2:00 am...I looked at his azz like he was crazy...and he went back to sleep.

He never went out at 2:00 am again.  Humph.  AS IF!

Jaru has grown up and become a lovely doggie.  He's pretty confident that he's loved since he's never had a bad day in his life. 

When one of us is sick...Jaru doesn't leave their side.  He snuggles right up close to you and protects you.  That's what he does.  He's a PROTECTOR.

For the most part, however, he does his own one, two.  Like...we could be on the sofa and he's downstairs on another sofa solo.  When he's ready to go to bed...he goes to bed.  Doesn't matter if you're ready for bed.  He's like...whatevs...I need my sleep.

The dog is pretty self-sufficient and doesn't require a lot of reminders as to our affection.

Today...Jaru has been right on top of me all day.  In my lap.  He hasn't BUDGED.  When I was upstairs in the bed he was in my lap.  When I moved to the sofa...he moved down with me.  He's here right now with his big azz body in my lap and doesn't plan on moving too soon from the looks of it.

I wonder what's going on that he's got to be right up under me today.  They say dogs have a sixth sense.  Maybe he senses something wrong with me that I don't know yet and I'm scared at what that could be.

Maybe my dog knows me better than I know myself.

Why I don't mess with Chow Chows...

I'm watching Martha and she was talking about the passing of her beloved Chow Chow, Paw Paw. (It's a re-run.) When we visited the show for Valentine's Day this year we got to see Paw, Paw and he was very chillaxed...but I kept my eye on him anyway.

Why?

Cuz I don't get down with Chow Chows.

90 lb. Lap Dog

He's barely left my lap ALL.DAY. His head is bigger than my torso dang near. I'm numb.

I am over here DYING laughing!

Doesn't this baby look traumatized????? http://pserendipity.wordpress.com/2008/08/01/the-brawl/

HotNESS or HotMESS?? (SM): Furry Cage Pets

Hamsters, gerbils, mice, etc.

What say you? Have you or your kids ever had one?

The ones who love us for no reason!

What kind of pets do you have? What are their names?

BACKFLIP?????????

From Amy: TOO, TOO CUTE!

Dear Dog Guardians

What kinda food do you feed your doggie?

Non Dog Owners!

If you were to break down and get a dog...what breed would you get?

From Honest:

Pet Funeral

I know someone whose dog jumped out of the car window while she was driving.  She stopped the car and went to get him but he'd been hit by a car and was dead and very bloody.

I always wondered what she did with the puppy's body but since I heard the story in passing I didn't have an opportunity to ask.

What would you do?

From 1969: What say you?

ROFL!

It's a gorgeous day so I have the house opened up. Jaru and Lucy are sunning on the deck. The dude that checks the meters opened my back gate and Jaru and Lucy went CRAZY! I looked out the window and the dude jumped and almost slipped down. HE RIGHTED HIMSELF SO QUICKLY I THOUGHT I WAS SEEING THINGS! ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL!

Jaru and Lucy sound FEROCIOUS when they are barking. That's my good bark dogs!

My Nap Buddy

Jaru...OCD Dog

We love our dogs something awful and do everything we can to make sure they are comfortable, well taken care of and that they know they are loved.

I think we have succeeded.

EXCEPT...

Jaru has OCD and I have proof.

Seriously.

What do you say about a dog who won't go out on the deck if there are leaves on it?

Ever met a dog that won't drink out of his water bowl if he's accidentally dropped ONE KERNAL of dog food in it?

What about a dog who won't get on the bed unless the covers are smooth and who will straight GROWL at you until you do?

Ever met a dog who won't eat off the floor and will look at you like you are a STRAIGHT FOOL if you accidentally drop what you're giving him on the floor?

Small spaces? He can't do it. I don't think he's EVER been in the powder room or a closet.

If you are dirty or stink...he ain't coming NEAR YOU! Don't even THINK about it!

If he's not taking a bath he will have a FIT if you get water on him.

He doesn't like people with unfortunate features.

If too many people are in the room...he gets out of the room. He needs his peace and his space. I do believe the dog has bad nerves.

He can pass gas all day long but let you slip one out. He will rouse outta his sleep and give you the most DISGUSTED look and leave the room. Humph.

So now yall know the truth behind the cute face. Jaru...OCD DOG.

*sigh*

tsiporah: ROFL.....Jaru don't like people with unfortunate features...LOL that is a mess right there
CreoleInDC: he doesn't
tsiporah: Now you gonna have everybody who comes over to your house paranoid when Jaru won't come near them
tsiporah: LOL
tsiporah: either they stink or they ugly
CreoleInDC: girl
CreoleInDC: then don't be stink and fix ya face
tsiporah: lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY! (Debil Dog)

When we first heard about Lucy it broke our hearts. She'd been found tied to the gates of the Baltimore Zoo with a shattered back leg and a chain embedded in her neck. She was emaciated and very aggressive even though she was weak from lack of food. The poor baby had been there for 3 days before someone realized that she needed help.

She was taken to the doggie hospital and worked on and stayed there for several months while her leg healed...then...they looked for a home for her which was difficult because of the aggression part.

Well...we took a chance on her and brought her home with us. She was scared and nervous and shaking the entire time poor baby and she hurt me deeply thinking that someone could have done the awful, AWFUL things to her that were done.

Jaru was uber excited when he saw her and immediately went to greet her with a big goofy grin.

She jumped him.

Yall...it was bad cuz we'd never had such in our home before but we'd read that this is what happens when you introduce a new boxer into the home. They have to figure out who will be the head dog. We took them on the deck and stood there while they had it out. Even though it was obvious that Lucy was used to fighting, we weren't worried about Jaru because he was twice her size.

Lucy won. LOL! And her title as Queen Reign Supreme was duly noted by everyone.

So we brought them in and introduced her to the house. Jaru started bringing her toys to play with and she'd take it from him and put it in a corner. He was confused and would go get one to show her how to play with it and she'd jump him and take it back. LOL! He soon learned to stop bringing them to her. ROFL!

That entire evening was just about letting her do what she does. No sudden movements from anyone...it's all about our Lucy-girl.

When we fed her she ate her food so fast like she couldn't believe she was eating. I teared up. She got bathed and fluffed dry and then it was off to bed.

Initially we'd put her bed across the room from Jaru's because we didn't know how that would go. Jaru got in his bed and watched her as she paced the floor nervous with the door closed. She kept coming to the side of the bed so one of us could touch her. Finally she went and laid down.

With Jaru.

So we put her bed next to his and showed her it was hers. She paced nervously but then she got in it and we covered her with a blankie. Poor baby was plum tuckered out.

She woke several times during the night with whimpers and nightmares we're sure.

The next day I started my morning as I usually do and then...I freaked her out. I reached in the closet to get the corn broom that I use to sweep off the front steps. She saw it and BOLTED upstairs. I rushed after her and found her under the bed terrified. I didn't even thing about it. I got under the bed with her as did Jaru and we all just laid there under the bed until she felt better.

I'd brought the broom with me and it was on the floor. She sniffed it and walked around it. I picked it up and talked to her...let her know that it would never be used ON her.

Today, Lucy has been with us for three years. Since we don't know how old she is or when her birthday is, we always consider today her birthday. She's a completely different doggie from the one we met. She's sooooooooooo sweet and loving and loves just about EVERYONE but she does have her favorites of course. ROFL! There are certain friends we have that when they arrive she goes NUTS cuz she's soooooooooo excited and she just KNOWS they are there to see ONLY HER! LOL!

I'm so sorry it seems so many of you would never be able to visit 13700 because of your fears of doggies because, as you know, Lucy and Jaru will NEVER be "put up." We'll have to meet out for lunch. LOL!

Yup...today is all about the Princess. Our Diamond Sky Lucy AKA...DEBIL DOG! LOL!

I hope if you're thinking of getting a doggie you think about rescuing one. It's really, really worth it. They love you soooooooo much because they know you saved them and they are oh, so loyal and sweet!

Question...Dogs

Are you someone who doesn't like dogs? If not...why not? What is it about dogs that make you so afraid or make you dislike them?

If you're a dog lover/owner/liker...what do YOU think of people who don't like dogs?

From Honest:

To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - snout height.

Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The
other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw
print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it
becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing
in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating
me to the bottom is not the object.  Tripping me doesn't help because I
fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry
about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure
your comfort.  Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they
sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other
stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking
tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to
maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by
some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not
necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw
under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the
same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years
--canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt.
I cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our
front door:

To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets

1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
(That's why they call it 'fur'niture.) 3. I like my pets a lot better
than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who
is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they (not totally
my opinion):

1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Usually come when called
5. Never drive your car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends 7. Don't smoke or drink 8.
Don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions 9. Don't wear your
clothes 10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college 11. If they get
pregnant, you can sell their children

Question...

Who do you guys think spoil Jaru and Lucy the most? Me or Robby?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JARU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jaru and Lucy Got New Beds!

We were concerned they wouldn't like their new beds because they are actually kinda fancyish and the Prince and Princess might be mad to be uprooted from their old super comfy beds.

These pics was taken this morning. Everybody else was up at moving around. Lucy, however, was like...Imma stay in bed a little longer.

She killing me bruh. ROFL!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I don't know much...

...but I know Lucy misses me when I'm gone.

SUPER CUTE!

Meet Apollo

Apollo is the new rescued baby of cbean. How SWEET is that face?????????

Welcome to the family Apollo! Jaru and Lucy send their love!

For Dog Lovers: "Time For Pee Pee Maybe?"

What do you think?

Do you think Lucy moved over so he could sit down?  You got one guess.  ROFL!

I'm Jaru's Person

Every morning when Robby gets out of bed...Jaru gets in bed with me. Lucy is wherever Robby is. Funny how they just decide themselves on who "their person" is huh? LOL! I wonder if they picked straws.

Since Lucy is DEFINITELY the alpha dog in our house...I guess that makes Jaru and I second class in her eyes huh. LOL! Note to self.

DOG, CAT FOOD RECALL!

Please read this and make sure you're not feeding your beloved pet this food: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/17/petfood.recall.ap/index.html

Jaru and Lucy eat human grade food only so I didn't have to cut anybody regarding my babies. The food they love is made by a company called Canidae and I buy it from a gourmet wellness pet food store. Hey...WE eat good food and so do our poochies!

My friend Lillian takes this to a whole nudder level with her doggies so I was sooooooooooooo lucky to meet her when I was trying to find the best food for Jaru when he was a puppy. Thanks again Lillian!!!!!

Jaru and Lucy are the HotNESS even though they are punks. ROFL!
