                                                        "Arf" (Hi, I'm 'Dash'...)                                                     --Welcome to the "Dash-O-Gram"

                                                        Picture
                                                        I was born in Grant's Pass, Oregon. My grand-daddy is some kind of champeen or other, not sure what. I was gonna follow in his paw-prints, but... I had my heart set on Las Vegas; 'bright lights, big city, and all that'. Plus, I heard about these two people whose hearts were broken because their dog died; figgered I could go down there and make 'em a little happier. 

                                                        Sometimes, I get a little tired...

                                                        Well, it WAS a long trip, from Oregon to 'Vegas; but, I'm catchin' up. This is me when I was about 3 months old, leaning on my favorite log. My owners sneak around a lot, spying on me.

                                                        Yeah, I know... I'm sleeping on my waterbowl...

                                                        But, here's the deal, - you ever wake up from a nap dying for a drink of water?? - I know... me too... So, I figgered... what the heck, why not just make it convenient. (My owners are STILL spying on me.)

                                                        I only fell into the cement pond twice...

                                                        Picture
                                                        The first time, my owners put me in JUST to see if I could get out; (Like there was a doubt.) The second time, I was looking for something... (Yesss.... I found it, Smarty-pants.)

                                                        I like this cement pond...

                                                        Just kinda checking it out; there's no fish in it or anything. I like to think of it as a gigantic doggy-bowl of water. I can't wait for Summer to come around, so I can go for a swim.

                                                         
                                                         

                                                          Wanna send me a note?? - "Arf" (do it...)         (sniff here)
