Louisdog's Life

Rrruff to my Blogville Frriends!

Here I am with some kids in my 'hood.

Louis the Blogging Dog here...I thought I would let you know what I've been up to.

The Blogville Pack

I can't even begin to tell you how woofy waggy tail happy I am to be part of the Blogville pack! It seems like there are some kitties here and maybe a few other animals, but mainly it's dogs. Dogs with blogs! For the longest time I thought I was the only one. Now I'm part of a pack of friendly dogs who also love the internet. I'm not a lone wolf any more!
Only thing is that I am sad that I still have zero followers! Who will be my first follower? 

The Dogtionary

Sometimes I look up words in the dogtionary., even if it is just the online version. Yesterday, for example, I looked up the word "sentient". I chose this word because some governments have started to recognize dogs and other animals as sentient beings. I wanted to know exactly what that means.

  

sen·tient

ˈsen(t)SH(ē)ənt/

adjective

1. able to perceive or feel things.

   "she had been instructed from birth in the equality of all sentient life forms"

   synonyms:

   (capable of) feeling, living, live;  conscious, aware,responsive, reactive "any sentient creature should have the good sense to avoid something so dangerous."

If we are talking about animals there isn't anything there that we didn't already know. Of course animals have feelings! It's obvious that they are alive, conscious, aware, responsive and reactive. The only surprise to this dog is that it has taken until now for so many humans to figure this out and to decide that animals deserve protection.

Napping

As you can see, I've been practicing for the freestyle napping Pawlympics event. When I sleep I dream about things like when my brothers and I still lived with our black poodle mom. Then I wake up to find that I am in my forever home where I feel loved and secure. It's all good!

Do you think my tummy is too fat?

By the way, do you think my tummy is too fat for a dog?  If so, what kind of a diet should I go on? I get quite a bit of exercise taking the peeps for walks and chasing my squeaky toys. I just know that I used to be thinner.

 Computer Troubles

I share a computer with Mimi. She told me this morning that later this evening she has to drop the computer off at her technician's. We won't have it for a few days. I won't be posting untill Mimi gets it back. In the meantime, I rufff u all!
