WELCOME TO LADY’S WEBPAGE!

Welcome to
MY very own webpage. I was given the name Lady when I was found wandering the
streets and came into Rescue A
Golden of Arizona as a stray. Ed took me in on
Ed gets mad at me cuz I don’t walk so well on a leash, but I’m trying to learn. Please be patient with me. I just love all kinds of people. Old people, young people, miniature people in strollers. I just love them all, and if they start petting me, I’ll sit there for hours, and I really adore belly-rubs. I like being close to Ed. He’s a pretty good human to have around, so I stick to him like Velcro. Maybe that should be my name…
Ed had 3
cats when I came to live with him and one is a real bitch. She snarls at me and
hisses, so I just keep my distance and we get along splendidly. I like Ed’s
Mom’s dog, Zak. He’s a little
I learned a
few things from my previous owners, and I am especially good at sitting. When
the leash is brought out, I sit perfectly still until it’s hooked up. When we
run or walk, and we come to a stop I will sit down. My previous owners worked
hard on that one, and they were quite successful at it. I will lay down on
command, but that’s just an excuse to roll over on my back for belly-rubs,
which isn’t exactly what I should be doing, but it’s what I want to do.
One thing I
don’t like is the word NO because I know I’m doing something I shouldn’t, but
like I said earlier, I’m learning. After all, this is a new home for me. I’ve
gotten into the garbage a couple times, and both times I was caught red-handed
(or red-pawed). I don’t like digging and I will bark once in awhile, just to
see if my barker still works. I ain’t never seen a doggie door before now, but
that’s one slick human invention. Thanks for putting that in the door for me.

Anyhow, the
surgery went pretty good, or so I’m told. It was really scary. When I woke up,
I didn’t know where I was, or what had happened, and, to be honest with you, I
just freaked out. Somewhere in there, I bumped my nose and had a bloody nose
for a couple hours, on and off. I’m all better now in that regards.
Well, after the
surgery they put stitches in my eyes so that I can’t open them up. I guess
that’s so they’ll heal better, but it sure is annoying, and they sure do itch a
lot, which brings me to my current problem. They put this funny plastic
lampshade on my head, and it just keeps getting in the way all the time. Ed
laughs at me when I bump into things, so I make sure when I’m near that I bump
into him, too. Ask him, he’ll be more than happy to show you the bruises on his
legs. HEHE!
Ed said I had
to put a couple pictures of me with my lampshade on up on the webpage, so here
they are. The first picture is the day of the surgery, right after I got home.
The second is the next day as I was waiting to be let back in the house. Ed
thinks I should be able to open the doggie door and let myself in. It’s more
fun when he lets me in, so I go outside often (boy, do I ever have him wrapped
around my dewclaw).
This last
picture is the best. Ed’s sister said I reminded her of a tollbooth (whatever
that is). She said she had the urge to throw change at me. How stupid is that?
Well, Ed got to thinking, and it being Christmastime and all, he could use a
little extra money for Christmas shopping. Anyhow, yesterday when we were
walking we went up to the freeway and he made me stand there in hopes that
people would throw money at us. Well, they didn’t, thank goodness, but I sure
felt silly. Please don’t let him ever do that to me again.
Well, I guess
that’s all I have to say about my surgery. I go on the 19th to get
my stitches out, and, hopefully, I can take the lampshade off as well. I’ll let
you know how it goes.
March, 2006:
It’s been a couple months since my surgery, and it’s
great being able to open my eyes all the way. WOW! I never realized what I was
missing
In January, Ed
wanted to take to an event called Bark In The Park in
Ahwatukee, and thought a bath was a good idea. Boy did I ever let him know how
I felt about baths. He got out the big green snake and used it to pour water
all over me, and then he put that sudsy stuff all over me, and it felt good
when he rubbed it all in, but then he took the green snake and got me all wet
again. I got even by rolling in the mud. WOW! Was he ever mad at me. He came at me again with the snake and wet me down one
more time. This time I waited for him to go into the house, and when he came
back out with more clean towels, I had rolled in the mud again. Then he got
that thing he calls a hair-dryer and dried me off, without rinsing me again. I
guess that was his way of getting even. I had dried mud in my hair. I would
have never gone out in public looking like that, but, guess what? Here he comes
with the leash, which means we’re going somewhere. I just sat there, waiting
for him to rinse the mud off again, but he didn’t. He put the leash on me and
made me get in the truck. OH, how embarrassing. We went to Petsmart.
He took me to some lady and told her what happened and then he left me with her.
He didn’t even look back. Well, to make a long story short, she, too, had a
green snake and there was no place for me to roll this time, and she used that
blow-dryer thing on me again.
A few hours
later, Ed came back for me. I was SOOO happy. He rescued me. On the way out of
the store, Ed said I could have a new toy. The lady working in the store showed
him one that she said a lot of dogs like, and he handed to me. I took it and
carried it to the counter so he could pay for it. I wasn’t about to let it go.
I earned it. It’s now my favorite toy.
It’s been quite
a while since I’ve written anything. Well, I’ve been trying to write, but I
just can’t hit the keys, so I have to depend on Ed to help me, and he’s been so
busy rescuing other Golden Retrievers that I just hate to bother him.
I think what I
want to talk about at this point is my Aunt’s miniature
Other news is that
the weather is cooler and we’re once again going for more walks, and Ed is
taking me in the car more often. Maybe I should have a talk with him about
moving to cooler country.
