MY DEAR SWEET CHEWY,
IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY WHEN DAD BROUGHT YOU HOME. HE SAID THAT ON THE TRIP YOU TRIED TO CHEW UP EVERYTHING IN THE BACK OF OUR VAN, HENCE YOUR NAME...CHEWY! ONCE YOU GOT TO OUR FOREVER HOME, YOU THEN PROCEEDED TO JUMP OUT OF OUR CAR AND RAN STRAIGHT TO ME. YOU SHOWERED ME WITH SWEET KISSES AND I SWEAR THAT YOU WERE SMILING! YOU WERE SUCH A FEISTY LITTLE GUY, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THINGS TO CHEW ESPECIALLY ALL OF YOUR TOYS! REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN YOU ATE A BIG PART OF YOUR RUBBER SQUEAKY BONE??? NOT SO LUCKY FOR YOU, BUT LUCKY FOR ME I WAS ABLE TO MAKE YOU THROW IT UP!!!! YOU ALSO LIKED TO TERRORIZE OUR BELOVED GOLDEN, LACEY, WHO WE LOST SHORTLY AFTER YOU ARRIVED. YOU KNOW THAT SHE WOULD HAVE NONE OF YOUR PUPPY STUFF BUT YOU KEPT TRYING. NOW YOU HAVE YOUR SISTER, CIENA... (ANOTHER GOLDEN) WHO DEFINITELY PUTS YOU IN YOUR PLACE. LIKE THE TIME WHEN YOU TWO WERE PLAYING AND SHE SNAPPED AT YOU! YOU RAN INTO THE KITCHEN TO HIDE BEHIND MY LEGS AND WOULDN'T COME OUT....A BIT OF A WUS I'D SAY! BUT NOW YOU TWO ARE INSEPERABLE, BUT SHE'S STILL THE ALPHA DOG AND YOU KNOW IT! LOL!! YOU HAVE GROWN UP TO BE A HANDSOME GUY WHO LIKES TO HOWL, WHINE, AND HOG THE BED!!! BUT THAT'S OK, WE LOVE YOU DEARLY. WELL MR. CHEW AS I SOMETIMES LIKE TO CALL YOU, OR JUST PLAIN CHEWY MAN, YOU HAVE BROUGHT MUCH HAPPINESS AND SUNSHINE TO OUR LIVES. MAY YOU ENJOY YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY AND MANY, MANY MORE. OH AND DON'T FORGET TO SHARE YOUR BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!!!

HEY GUYS!🐾
TODAY IS EARTH DAY AND IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE.🎈 ..... YOU SEE THIS DAY WAS CREATED TO HONOR OUR EARTH AND TO PROMOTE PEACE AMONGST ALL OF US. I READ THAT A SENATOR BY THE NAME OF "GAYLORD NELSON PROPOSED THE IDEA TO HAVE A NATIONWIDE ENVIORNMENTAL TEACH-IN ON APRIL 22, 1970" AND SO THIS DAY WAS BORN! DID YOU KNOW THAT "MORE THAN 20 MILLION PEOPLE POURED OUT ON TO THE STREETS, AND EARTH DAY REMAINS THE LARGEST SINGLE DAY PROTEST IN HUMAN HISTORY"? (Wikipedia)
MY MOM SAID THAT SHE WAS SOOOO PROUD TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT. SHE SAID THAT SHE REMEMBERS THAT IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL WARM SUNNY DAY THAT DAY ON APRIL 22, 1970. SHE SAID THAT EVERYONE IN HER HIGHSCHOOL THAT SHE ATTENDED WENT OUT THAT DAY FROM THE SCHOOL BUILDING TO SIT ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT!!! SO IN HONOR OF THIS DAY SHE WANTED US TO BE HIPPIES LIKE HER THAT DAY AND SO HERE ME AND CIENA ARE, OMG CHECK OUT THOSE WOODEN BEADS!!!! SUCH FREAKS!!!
OH WELL..........HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEY GUYS!🐾
TODAY IS NATIONAL HIGH FIVE DAY!
LIKE I ALWAYS SAY IN MY CLOSING TO YOU GUYS....... "IT PAWS UP AND HIGH FIVE"! SO THIS DAY IS RIGHT UP MY ALLEY!!! ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS RAISE UP YOUR HAND OR PAW IN MY CASE...AND SMACK THE OTHER GUYS PALM OR PAW AND SHOW OFF YOUR GREETING! BE SURE IT'S A HIGH FIVE AND NOT A DOWN LOW OR YOU MIGHT BE TO SLOW.....HA HA!
I HEAR THAT SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THE CELEBRATION OF THIS DAY GOES WAY BACK TO 1977. YOU SEE I GUESS IT HAPPENED AT DOGER STADIUM WHEN THESE TWO GUYS NAMED GLENN BURKE AND DUSTY BAKER DID A HIGH FIVE. THEY DID IT BECAUSE OF A HOME RUN HIT BY BAKER OFF THE HOUSTON ASTROS PITCHER J.R. RICHARD ON THE LAST DAY OF THE REGULAR SEASON. WOW!
THEN I HEARD THAT SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT IT ORIGINATED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE IN 1978. YOU SEE DURING PRACTICE THIS GUY NAMED WILEY BROWN WAS GOING TO LOW FIVE HIS TEAMMATE DEREK SMITH BUT DECIDED TO HIGH FIVE HIM INSTEAD . SO THE TEAM KEPT DOING HIGH FIVE'S AFTER EACH CELEBRATION THEREAFTER! COOL!
WELL.... NO ONE IS REALLY SURE HOW THIS HIGH FIVE BUSINESS ALL GOT STARTED, BUT ME..... I LOVE THIS DAY! SO TODAY ALL YOU CANINES AND FELINES CAN CHECK ME OUT AS I SHOW YOU ALL HOW TO DO IT!
I AM TOO COOL, BUT I CAN'T LEAVE OUT MY SISTER, CIENA!!
HEY GUYS!🐾
IT'S ANOTHER FLIPPING RAINY DAY HERE IN JERSEY! YOU WANNA KNOW HOW OUR MOM DRESSES US ON DAYS LIKE TODAY.........WELL TAKE A LOOK!
CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE STUPID OUTFITS??? OH HECK.... IF IT MAKES OUR MOM HAPPY I GUESS WE'LL WEAR IT...... BUT WE WON'T LIKE IT!! WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT THOUGH.....OUR MOM STILL HAS TO TAKE US OUT IN THIS CRUMMY WEATHER.... AND OF COURSE WE'LL TAKE OUR TIME SO SHE GETS SOAKING WET!!! HA HA! TOO FUNNY! 😅
TILL NEXT TIME IT'S PAWS UP AND HIGH FIVE!
CHEWY MAN 🐕
HEY GUYS!🐾
TODAY IS NATIONAL HUG YOUR DOG DAY AND WE DESERVE ALL YOUR LOVE AND AFFECTION. MANY OF US ARE NOT ONLY CUDDLERS, BUT WE ARE HARD WORKERS TOO. THINK ABOUT ALL THE SERVICE WE PROVIDE BY BEING GUIDE DOGS, PROVIDING EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO THOSE IN NEED, AND SOME OF US EVEN PUT OUR LIFE ON THE LINE TO PROTECT YOU WHEN WE SNIFF OUT BOMB THREATS.
HERE ARE SOME INTERESTING FACTS THAT I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW............ DID YOU KNOW THAT IN THE 1700'S, THE AGE OF HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGES, THAT MY BROTHER DALMATIONS ASSISTED FIREFIGHTERS? OR DID YOU KNOW THAT IN 1973, A FEDERAL HOUSING LAW WAS CREATED TO ALLOW ANY SUPPORT/GUIDE DOGS TO AVOID THE "NO PET" RESTRICTIONS THAT PUBLIC HOUSING HAVE?
SO HERE ARE SOME OF MY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE CAN SPEND OUR DAY TODAY. MAYBE WE CAN PLAY TUG A WAR, OR PLAY CATCH, OR JUST ROLL AROUND ON THE FLOOR AND YOU CAN SCRATCH OUR BELLIES!!!! HOW ABOUT A CAR RIDE TO THE PARK OR TO GET A "PUPPACHINO". IF YOU FEEL LAZY..... THEN WE CAN JUST SNUGGLE ON THE COUCH TOGETHER AND CHILL OUT AND WATCH THE ANIMAL CHANNEL.
JUST REMEMBER THAT WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU OR WE WOULDN'T BE WAITING AT THE DOOR FOR YOU TO COME HOME.
TILL NEXT TIME IT PAWS UP AND HIGH FIVE!!!

HI GUYS!🐾
Today is National Puppy Day!
Did you know that National Puppy Day was created in 2006, by a lady named Colleen Paige? I wasn't even born yet.....imagine that! Even though me and Ciena aren't puppies anymore, our mom still calls us her babies!!! This special day was started to fawn over and to celebrate the unconditional love that you all give to us cuddly guys and gals. So bring on some more play time, and maybe some extra treats.......especially if you want us to pose for those adorable photo shoots.
This day was also created to recognize that there are so many pets in the shelters who REALLY need a forever home. My mom wrote this poem and she said that I could share it with you in honor of this day. We hope that it will open your hearts so you can bring home your special companion, whether a puppy or older dog. Ya know... no matter what our age.... we are all a bunch of four-legged, fur balls that deserve to be loved and have a forever home! (P.S. cats are pretty cool too!!!)
For The Love of a Shelter Dog
