It is really hot here again and I went outside and crouched down to do, well, you know, and my bum hit the ground and got burned.

I went and sat in my big water bowl to cool it down and it felt a bit better.

Thanks for changing the water Dad, but can’t you make it cooler outside?

How dumb is that?

My mum is really old so maybe she forgot?

Oh, and Fibber doesn’t love me anymore. I am too much woman for his sick legs. He found some tart on his walks who is really submissive.

Bye, bye Fibber.

I am looking for a real man!

Jesse: What do you think it is?

Fibber: I’m not sure, but don’t go near it.

Jesse: Maybe we should send one of the little fluffies over to check it out. They are crazy enough!

Fibber: No, they just go crazy all the time and the thing would eat it.

Jesse: How about we wait until it moves and we both go over and sniff around.

Fibber: You are smart as well as beautiful.

So we waited and when this thing moved we ran over to sniff the ground and it smelled like dog, but we still weren’t sure, so I asked Mum what it was and she said it was from a place called Irish.

Fibber said he had never heard of it and was sure it was nowhere near Germany where we come from, so we decided it was a horse.

Horses are big!

Lots of things happened:

- I turned 2 and got some presents – check out my photos

- It rained yesterday and I forgot what rain was so I was running around trying to catch the drops. Dad said I was nuts but he tells lies.

- My boyfriend Fibber was back at training and he still loves me

• My boyfriend, Fibber
• Mum and Dad
• ChickenLiver treats
• Pink things; I am a girl!
• Mum’s undies
• Chasing birds and little fluffies
• The Dog Whisperer. I love it when those dumb dogs get into trouble.
• Playing outside with ball and my other outside toys
• BBQ’s. I always get some of the people food.

A little later Dad found my little surprise and was not happy! I tried to help him plant it where he wanted but he wouldn’t let me.

Sorry Dad.

I love it when guys fight over me.

I had a bit of fun with a Labrador. He was being a bit crazy and I nipped him on the bum to tell him this was not acceptable behavior. He didn’t calm down so I kept doing it and Mum tried to stop me but the trainer man said I was doing a good job as he agreed the Labrador was being naughty. After a lot of nips he got the idea that I was in charge and he better behave. I am a German Shepherd after all.

My friend Newbie also turned up and we had a lot of fun chasing each other around. He knows now that I am not his mum and I told him he was too young to be my boyfriend, and Fibber would eat him if he tried.

I hope Fibber is there next time. I miss him.

Mum lets me out of my bedroom (they all it laundry) and takes me outside. Note to Dad: I get really annoyed when you do it as I don’t like change so stick to the script! Mum then takes me for a walk.

When we get back Mum has breakfast with me outside and then we come in and she gets ready for work. I try to annoy my people sister Kimmy in this time. That is LOTS of fun and she gets sucked in every time.

After Mum goes to work I go to sleep in the chair in the lounge room. When Dad gets up I go into another room because he is very noisy on his ‘puter. I have more sleep.

I come back into the lounge after a while, get back in the chair and have more sleep.

In the afternoon I wake up and tell Dad to take me outside and we play ball there for a while. I have a sleep when we come back in.

After a while it is time to pick up Mum from the bus. Sometimes Dad sneaks out without me instead of taking me in the car!

We go outside and play ball when Mum comes home and then we come in and have tea (although sometimes we stay outside and have bar-bar-too which I love because I get to share the meat).

If we have tea inside, we come out again for a little play before it is time to go in for a rest. I usually sleep on the floor for a while until they decide it is time for me to go to bed. I really need bed because I am REALLY tired by then.

Sometimes my people brother Danny gets up late or comes home at funny times during the day and this annoys me. Why doesn’t he have a schedule?

Note to everyone: I get REALLY annoyed when you don’t keep to the schedule like when Mum has holidays because she makes me help with work around the house and I get REALLY tired. I am just 21 months old you know.

And guess what? He still loves me. He could only come to training for a little while because his legs are still a bit sick but we got together and he told the other German Shepherd boys that he is back and they had better leave me alone.

I love you Fibber. Sorry Rebel, but he is my main man.
