Thank you to my fans, feedback requested

Doggebone is becoming famous throughout the internet and wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has praised "my" blog.

One reader even said she loves me! My human mom said it was meant as a figure of speech but I know it's real. She does love me. Who wouldn't? I am fairly hygienic for a canine. My mom bathes me at least once a week. My hair is an awesome mixture of colors. And to think some people pay big bucks to get the same color highlights God gave me! I could use a pedicure but I suppose that will come with time. Mom doesn't like doing it. Mr. Vet usually does it.

But, anyway...I do want to say thanks! I appreciate your comments and knowing that I can make people smile.

Now...

Doggebone needs to know what you think. I am contemplating a part-time job as a weather dog. My mom got me a uniform.

For those of you who might not know, I have a bit of an accent. It is Southern with a British twang. For example, my name pronounced: Doogie-boon. Imagine how intriguing I will be as a weather dog! I can see me now...

"'Ello. This is Doogie-Boon bringing you the watha repo't. I predict it will be a bit wa'm and dry today so you may want to find a wata hole for dousing and coolin'."

See how good that sounds!

I know my dog bowl is pretty full with the blog and all, but if I became a weather dog I could keep my fans informed of possible weather issues. My knowledge could save lives. Well, maybe not lives, but I am sure it will save some hairdos. At the very least, I can warn people ahead of time of potential rain (rain + dirt = mud) so they can be ready...and maybe purchase extra Muslim postage stamps for their paws and shoes.

What do you think?

Mom's obsession with Edward Cullen

Hello. It's me, again. Doggebone.

Before I start, let me say that in case you are one of the gazillion fnas of the Twilight book and movie series, I am a fan, too. But I am a bit concerned about my mom and the other female fans in my house.

Okay...I have to admit that Edward Cullen is handsome, for a guy and vampire. I am not upset that my mom and human female siblings think he is so hot. I am upset over the guy's menu choices. I am not saying that I think this vampire heartthrob should feast on humans, but can you understand why I am upset? Hello! Instead of the traditional vampiric menu of human blood, the guy and his "family" --in their attempt to "be good vampires"- only hunt animals.

Animals. Do you see now? Animals = d-o-g!

Sure mom and the girls are safe but what about Doggebone? Yeah, I know...Edward Cullen is only a character in a book...a movie...but the threat is real. I am having nightmares about it.

I imagine that I am running outside with my friends, minding my own business and then BAM! Doggebone is dinner. The teeth are scary. The eyes...the glow of hunger...

All I ask is that humans have a bit of compassion and understanding for the rest of those in the animal kingdom.

If you are one of the gazillion planning to head out to see New Moon today, think about Doggebone and all the other Doggebone's in the world. We have feelings, too. We have rights. And the thought of becoming a meal is a bit intimidating.

Go ahead. Love Edward. Love Jacob. Love them all. But while you are frothing over them, why not become an advocate for me? Try convincing them that there are alternatives to hunting animals. And I am not saying they should revert to the human blood lust thing. Why not try what Mick does on Moonlight? Blood banks. The blood is already there. No human or animal is injured, killed, or converted.

Help Doggebone's nightmares end, please! After all, there is more at stake (no pun intended to vampires) than a few nightmares. Do you know what can happen to a dog who is suddenly jolted from sleep because of fear? He might wet on himself. I am not saying that I have done this. Just that it is possible. And the ramifications are not pretty...or so I have been told.
