Yum by Howard the Very Tall Dog

My name is Howard. I'm a blue Great Dane. I am almost 3 years old and I am VERY TALL. When I stand next to my mom, my head is level with her chest. If I stand on my back feet, I am almost over six feet tall.

So Mom was making cookies last night. I was really excited because she NEVER makes those cookies that you use the cookie cutters for. She even went out and bought special egg and chick shaped ones! They were soo cute!
She kept yelling at me to go away. Every time I put my nose in the butter, she would yell!
So I went away...for a while. Actually, I was just waiting for the PERFECT time to make my move.
She rolled out the dough, cut them out, put them on the pan and into the oven...then she took them out and they smelled GREAT!!
Then she hid them in the microwave.
Then later last night, she took them out to cook something else and I made my move!
When she came downstairs they were GONE!! All of the cookies were mine mine mine!!
I didn't like sitting in the crate for the night though...
You'd think she would learn. I ate a whole sheet carrot cake that she baked for her mom's big birthday party back in December. It was AWESOME!!
That's what you get with a TALL DOG.
Love Howard

Not a great adventure by Howard the Very Tall Dog

Hey everybody,
Had to say hi and update you on my latest adventures. Last night I opened the cupboard under the sink and ate some AWESOME garbage! Oh man, it was worth the time in the crate!!
But....this morning, it made me want to , I started breathing weird and gagging, then Mom went and opened the back door and I ran outside and Mom says I was good not to do it on the carpet.
Then today, this new dog came to our front door with his owner. It was a six month old great dane little boy named Winston, who came to visit me!! Very fun!
I was really nice and sniffed him but he kept trying to....well you know. But he was very cute!
Very fun! Just so you know, DON'T eat garbage and if you have to , go OUTSIDE.
Love,
Howard

Whoa by Howard the Very Tall Dog

Doods,
Just had to tell y'all...this morning VERY early I got a very weird feeling, so I woke up Dad who was fell asleep on the couch. I usually sleep very late on my own bed upstairs. But I just had to go outside and see what the deal was!
Something just wasn't right, so I barked really loud to wake everyone up!
I woke up Mom, and she was worried I woke up the neighbors with my big WOOF.
But Mom says when she was laying in bed a few minutes later she felt her bed shaking...
It was an earthquake!!
I tried to warn everyone, but they didn't listen. Except Mom!
Love y'all...

So SMART by Howard the Very Tall Dog

Hi guys,
Just thought I'd tell you what happened last night to me. It wasn't a big deal to me, but my mom was very amazed.
Mom, Dad and that Kid left me at about 1 in the afternoon, I was watching my soaps. They were going on a day trip to Chicago, which is about 2 hours away. So they fed me and left, locked the doors too.
Cool. No big deal.
Mom says she was worried because she knew they would be gone a while and didn't want me to pee in the house. They FINALLY got back around 10pm - TEN HOURS LATER. But guess what? I didn't pee. Wanna know why?
I opened the locked slider door myself and went outside. No big deal. I'm a smart dog right?
Pretty cool!
Love and slobber,
Howard

Driving them CRAZY by Howard the Very Tall Dog

Boy did I get her yesterday! The KID broke the butter dish last week and Mom finally bought a new one.

She brought it home, it was glass and really pretty. But she is making me mad these days, not letting me do my gardening outside, and I got her back!

As soon as she took the butter dish out of the bag, I grabbed something on the counter and the butter dish fell on the floor and broke! She was

A regular day by Howard the Very Tall Dog

Get this one!
Mom came home from work today and I usually RUN to the door to see if she bought me a treat or something!!
Well, today I was just too comfy to get up.
Mom came in and I didn't come running! She called and called, then she came upstairs and found me lounging on her big King bed, head on the pillows!! She usually shuts her door!
If only she would bring me some bon bons!!

Love ya!
Howard

Visiting by Howard the Very Tall Dog

I'm Free! I'm Free!

Hey Y'all....
Howard here. Guess what dudes? Our invisible fence is broken and that means...yes, I can go visiting!!
Mom says our neighbor came over today and tattled on me that I was wandering around the neighborhood, hanging out in the street, following some lady on her walk.

I tell you, it was a BLAST! One lady came and brought me home, but Mom and Dad weren't here, she put me in the house, turned around to leave, and I opened the door to come back out! Everyone thinks I'm sooo funny!

Mom doesn't.

You guys should try it sometime! Go visiting!
Love and slobber,
Howard

What the Heck!!!! by Howard the Very Tall Dog

I just don't get this....those people have a collar on me that makes a weird chirpy sound whenever I get near that part in the yard where I'll get shocked.
Guess they're trying to keep me safe.

NOW, I'm in the house and Mom is making waffles with this thing, and I'm just sitting on the couch, and there's this sound again! I run around the room and Mom just at me.

WTF man?? Where do they want me to sit? I don't get it!!

Mom says it's the wafflemaker's timer that keeps going off. Whatever. A dog just can't win.

Love and slobber,

Howard

Medical Warning by Howard the Very Tall Dog

Hey guys,
I was kinda bored this morning. In the mood to just CHEW something, ya know? You know how it is. You just get that urge right?
Well, it was this cool white thing, and once I bit it these little brown things that looked like candies came out. I ate the lid, chewed the bottle, I am not sure if I tried those things. Mom says they were ibuprofen.
But now they made me drink this awful hydrogen peroxide stuff, and it made me

Gross man.
Now they made me take these pills called Activated Charcoal. The vet said it would absorb any bad stuff that I might have taken. He said that ibuprofen is VERY bad for dogs.

Movie review by Howard the Very Tall Dog

Hey fellow dudes!
Have you seen the commercial for that movie Marley and Me? What the heck is up with that? It's about a "bad dog" and people want to go see that??

They had the dog star on tv and they GAVE HIM A PILLOW TO RIP UP!!


How does that work? I rip up a pillow or ANYTHING and I get put in time out!!

This is so unfair! I say we all boycott this movie, dogs.

Love and slobber,

Howard

Hey guys!

Just thought I'd check in from jail and tell you about my latest "fun", from MY point of view!
I am so tired of winter I could scream so I try and make fun IN the house.
Yesterday, Mom left for a while and there was good stuff in the garbage under the sink. Usually I can just open the cabinet and get out the garbage can. :yum:
But yesterday, she THOUGHT she was clever and put rubber bands around the knobs so I couldn't get in.
Oh, she thinks she's so smart. But no...
I couldn't get the door open at the knob, so I just ripped off the knob and part of the wood of the door!
And the worst part? There wasn't anything in the garbage!!
Dad was not happy.
It's a NEW house.
That's why I'm in jail.

Love ya!
Howard
