When pit bulls attack!

It was a beautiful sunny day in Sandy Eggo. Not a cloud in the sky...the pit bull looked calm and relaxed, there were no signs of the attack that was imminent.

She snuck over towards me, and suddenly there were teeth everywhere!

She used her size and quick reflexes to her advantage and soon had me right where she wanted me!

there was nothing I could do! I was helpless!!

She went for my spine..trying to cripple me so she could finish the job...

Then she went for my ear, my only guess is that was the pathway she had decided to take to get to my brain...

The right ear wasn't good enough, so she quickly switched up her approach and went for the left one!

It looked like the end was near...I closed my eyes tightly and hoped for it to be over quickly...

Suddenly, with a burst of strength, I stood and fought back for my life! I was too young to die!!!

I flipped her over and went for the jugular!

Using my weight to my advantage, I held her down with all my might...

Finally, with both paws, she was able to push me off and struggled to get to her feet.

Momentarily stunned, I decided to make my escape while I could and fortunately survived "a pit bull attack!!!"

BOL!!!

peee. s. No pit bulls or Great Danes were harmed in the making of this documentary.

Fiesta del Paws!

Phew! Our Saturday wasn't over...in fact we had another big function to go to here in town, and this one was super important!

You see, there's a fabulous charity here in town called PAWS San Diego. They do amazing work by providing essential pet services and support to low income elderly, chronically ill and disabled individuals.

They provide pet food & supplies, transportation & veterinary assistance for lots of well deserving people & animals around Sandy Eggo county. If it weren't for PAWS San Diego, many of these individuals would be forced to give up their beloved pets.

A couple of weeks ago, Mom's friend who is on the board for the charity, sent her an email inviting me to be a special VIP guest. Wow!! I can't tell you how honored I was!

The other special guests were Chopper the Biker Dog & Surf Dog Ricochet. Holy cow...there's no way I'm even close to being as special as those two!

The event was held at a gorgeous house in an area of Sandy Eggo called North Park. It was a GIANT mansion, with an even bigger back yard. Mom thinks we coulda fit 5 or 6 of our house on the property...and still have had a little room! BOL!

There was a brilliantly blue pool, but the doggies were asked to stay out of the water...otherwise it woulda been a big wet mess!

I can't tell you how many pets, massages and scritches I got. I lost track shortly after we arrived.

The MC was a local radio personality named Shelly Dunn. She sat at our table and was super nice!

There were only a handful of doggies at the event...but PAWS supports all kinds of creatures, not just doggies, so this gorgeous kitTON was also in attendance. Mom was able to keep me from noticing the kitTON cuz even though I have 2 at home, for some reason when I see them outside the house I don't realize they are the same kind of animal and get WAY too excited wanting to say "Hi" (and maybe chase them just a little!)

Surf Dog Ricochet was given a special honor and awarded the "Companion for Life" award. She totally deserved it!

A little while later Spike Taylor also showed up. He is such a dapper dude.

Scruffy, Spike, me & Ginger got to take a picture together!

Not only did they have lots of foodables for the humans, they also had this amazing treat bar for us doggies provided by Fido & Co, Sandy Eggo's original Canine Country Club! It basically was an 'all you can eat' buffet, but Mom wouldn't let me eat everything cuz she said it would probably give me a tummy ache.

As the evening was wrapping up, one of the neighbors came of for a little free food. In case you don't know who this is, he's Bill Walton...he was a big time basketball player and cuz he was soooo tall he made me look like a regular sized doggie!

Phew...what a long day it was. Spike's Mom thought it would be fun to get a picture of Spike sitting on me...and I almost fell asleep while I was waiting for them to take the picture! BOL! Not really but doesn't think picture look that way? Mom wishes it wasn't so fuzzy, but Spike kept slipping off my back so it was hard to get a good picture.

What an amazing evening. So many people came out to help raise money for a grrrreat cause. It was an honor to be one of the special guests, and we sure hope they invite us back next year!!

A little vino please!

Wow! What a weekend! Yesterday was one of the busiest days I've had in a really really long time.

First, me & Mom met up with the Dog Walkers of San Diego Meetup group at the Bernardo Winery. Its a very cool vineyard just about 30 minutes outside of downtown Sandy Eggo.

Bernardo Winery was founded in 1889. That's a TON of dog years!!!

They are super dog friendly, so the organizer of our meetup setup a private tour for us. There were about 18 people, and each person was allowed to bring one doggie. A few of my favorites were there, like Paxton the Standard Poodle, Poppi the Standard Schnauzer and my bff Ginger, the pittie.

We had a big patio area all to ourselves, overlooking a grassy area known as Uncle Vito's.

Ginger was super happy to see me...but then again what's new? BOL!

First we got a walking tour of the winery, complete with lots of history about the founding of the winery, how they stayed in business during something called Prohibition, and how some of the land the winery originally owned was sold and developed into the very first 'planned' community in the US!

There are now lots of little shops & cafes on the property, all selling lots of different stuff, but we didn't go into any cuz none of it was dog stuff!

We even got to go into one of their wine cellars. It was so nice and cool in there...I wish we coulda stayed in there all day!

Mom's favorite part...when the wine came out! BOL!

It was a gorgeous afternoon, and I wish we coulda spent longer there, but me and Mom had an engagement in the afternoon and had to cut wine tasting short a bit.

Will tell you more about our Saturday evening adventure another time!
