Interview with Shawnee


1) What is your full name?
Shawnee. Just Shawnee. On my cage tag at the shelter it said my name was "September" but what kind of name is that? Besides, mom always says "New life, new name." @henryandfriends calls me "Shornee" - that is so cute it makes me thump my tail.

2) What is your favorite nickname?
When I was little my mom used to call me her "Little Munchkin." Then when I grew up, she called a foster dog "Munchkin" and I got very upset. I told mom that is my special nickname and she cannot say it to any other doggie. So she never did that again and even now that I am 8 years old and big, when mom says "Who's my Little Munchkin?" I get all happy and say "Me, it's me!" by wagging my tail super fast.

3) If your human wants to spoil you, what should they do or get for you?
Take me hiking! That is my most fave thing in the whole wide world. We have been hiking 10 miles at a time but have even done as much as 14 miles in one hike. I could do more than that if mom didn't poop out on me. You can read about my hiking adventures (and other stuff) on my blog.

4) What is your favorite spot in the house?
Paws down that would be my hidey spot. It is my bed on the floor at the far side of mom's bed between her bed and the wall. Nobody but mom is allowed to come back there but I have been letting my sis, Dixie, sleep in my hidey spot because she is getting old and can't hike with us any more. When Dixie is in my hidey spot, I sleep on mom's bed.

5) What is the most exciting thing you ever did?
One time mom took my sis, Dixie, and me far away to St. Louis, MO. It was a 16-hour drive from New Jersey in the car. Mom had to go there to fix up a house she was renting out. While mom was inside painting, Dixie and I were catching some sunbeams on the deck. Then Dixie and I decided we would see if we could get the gate open. Bingo! Off we went to check out the neighborhood and do some sightseeing (or more like sightsniffing). Unfortunately, it did not take mom long to discover we were missing. She had launched a neighborhood search party in 30 seconds flat and we were nabbed only two blocks away from the house. Oh, were we in BIG trouble! Mom was going on and on about having a heart attack. But it was so exciting - Dixie and I had the best time!

6) What is your favorite game?
I was at doggie summer camp in upstate New York a few years ago and I got to do sheep herding. Whoa! You should have seen me run like the wind herding those sheep! It was so much fun! We don't have any sheep where we live so I don't get to play that game any more :(

7) If there are any humans or anipals from Twitter you want to mention you can do that here... I'll post as many as you like.
First, I have to mention @marleyterrier because he forgot to mention me in his interview. BOL! (just funning with you, Marley!) I know it is hard to mention everyone and I am sure I will miss a ton of my pals, but off the top of my head I will start with @boriskitty, @manxington, @BadAndy_KityKat, @Gabby_da_Tabby @schnille @TruckindogKarma @ZackRabbit (love his cooking show and videos) @LouPeb @ReeseKitty @gafunnyfarm @Dunkin_the_Cat and I have to stop myself now or I will go on and on and on…

Interview with Jadzia Dax of Poogie


1. What is your full name?
My full name is Jadzia Dax of Poogie. Jadzia Dax is a Star Trek character. I simply cannot believe Mom named me after a Star Trek character! I already ranted about that on my blog! The last part, Poogie, is my grandpa's nickname when he was a kid, so that's okay. I'm just glad they call me Jazzy. Or Jazzy the Amazing Wiener. Or as you said, Jazzy the Amazing SuperWiener! ha ha! :)

2. What is your favourite nickname?
Um, I'd have to say "little girl" is my favorite. When Momma calls me that, I just melt. She calls me her sweet little girl. I'm not really that sweet, but so long as she thinks it, I'm happy.

3. If your humans want to spoil you, what should they get for you or do?
Me? Spoiled? Never! Well, maybe. Um, I really like turkey! And ham! And steak! Can we say I'm a carnivore?! I love food, but especially turkey! As for what my humans can do for me, I live to have my belly rubbed! Or held in Mom's arms like a baby. Katie makes fun of me, but I don't care!

4. What is your favourite spot in the house?
It used to be sleeping on top of my brother, Grady. He was so big, it was like I had a huge, soft, warm bed. But since he went to the Rainbow Bridge last year, I'd have to say lying in my new bed, under the covers, right next to where Mom works. Of course, Katie always tries to lie on top of me. She's got this whole "sleeping on top" thing mixed up! Dopey Doberman (no offense!). She's just not as smart as Grady was.

5. What is the most exciting thing you ever did?
Well, I did almost die when I broke my little back two years ago, but that really wasn't exciting. It was kinda scary! As for the most exciting, I think when my picture was printed on the front page of USA Today last year. Mom entered me, Grady, and Katie's picture in a contest, we made the top twenty, and the editors of the newspaper picked my picture to promo the contest on the front page! I was famous 'cause millions of people got to see my cute little face (her words, not mine, although I was cute in my blue sweater!). Mom bought every paper in the entire town, she was so proud of me! Woof! Woof!
6. What is your favourite game?
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE tug-of-war! I may be little, but boy, I can sure hold onto whatever it is I have! I growl, snarl, and bite like a big dog! Katie tries to pull the toys out of my mouth, but I hang on like nobody's business! Mom said one of these days I'm gonna go flying through the air 'cause I don't let go!

7. If there are any humans or anipals from Twitter you want to mention, you can do that here...
Well, of course you are one of my favorite dog pals, so make sure to tell everyone. :) We also just love @BuddyThePuggy @sullyburger @Angel7745 @Mamadoxie @PinkandSion and @BloodhoundNdots. Oh, and if I don't mention Mom, she'll hurt me @tylerdogcards. All ya'll make us laugh!

Monday 27 July 2009

Interview with Chester Arthur Kim.

1. What is your full name?
My full name is Chester Arthur Kim. My mom named me Chester when she met me at the Cat Rescue. She thought it suited me. She said I looked like I was wearing an orange sweater with a white shirt. My human-sister gave me my middle name of Arthur because she said it is very distinguished like I am. I don't know if I had a name before I came to live with my family. That time before I was found by the Rescue (in a cardboard box under a porch) is very fuzzy.

2. What is your favourite nickname?
I like it best when my dad calls me Chester Point Dexter. That is why my twitter name is ChesterPDexter because the whole thing wouldn't fit. My human-sister and brother call me Cheese-Star. My mom calls me (blushing) baby-kitty.

3. If your humans want to spoil you, what should they get for you or do?
My favorite thing my mom does to spoil me is to have a nap with me in the afternoon. We lay together and snuggle in her bed. She also gives me cereal milk and ice cream bowls and that makes me feel very special because my dog-siblings never get to eat those things. I know I am my mom's favorite because she tells me that.

4. What is your favourite spot in the house?
I have two favorite spots in my house. The first one is as I said my mom and dad's bed for a nap on top or my clubhouse underneath it. The other is my cat-napper that is in the window of my mom's room because I watch the live bird show daily from it. It's also a good sunny place for a nap.

5. What is the most exciting thing you ever did?
The most exciting thing I ever did was while teasing @SadiePetunia and @HappyDoodleDog my dog-siblings, I was walking along the banister up on the 2nd floor looking into the downstairs family room. And you'll never believe this, but I jumped and landed on the couch and totally freaked out the dogs and my mom. I feigned indifference and then walked away. I had a great adrenalin rush and it was the coolest thing ever! When my mom tells the story she says I "fell" but that is just not true. I also "jumped" in the bath-tub with my mom once, that was really fun too, just for the look on her face.

6. What is your favourite game?
My favorite game is attacking things under the blankets. If mom or dad move their hands or feet under the blankets I love to pounce on them. I also like the red-dot game.

7. If there are any humans or anipals from Twitter you want to mention you can do that here... I'll post as many as you like.
I have been so lucky to meet you and the other anipals on twitter. There are so many kind animals and people that I won't be able to name them all. But there is my BFF @ArtyTheCat, @hanseebundee and his lady @poppy_dog, @SirBarley who is my sister @SadiePetunia's boyfriend, @henryandfriends who always gives me a good cuddle, @IamButton who likes to play games with me. There is my sister @PrincessPDexter and brother @HappydoodleDog. My special human friend is @KM_ZenCat she's super cool. I also like to chat with @devil and @bacondevil and @godzillaofjapan. There are a lot of cool orange kitties on twitter like @Mulder_Cat and @wildboutbirds. And the birdies @BeanieandCecil who are as fun as they are delicious and their grandma @mauminator. And there are so many other great friends and followers, that I could go on all day.

Friday 24 July 2009

Interview with Robert Marley, King of the Island of Bequia

1. What is your full name?
My full name is Robert Marley, King of the Island of Bequia. Bequia is an island in the Caribbean where Daddy's Uncle Hodge lives and is the home of reggae music (which has the (slightly) more famous Marley). Dad actually wanted to call me Frank Zappa, but mommy wouldn't let him. Sensible Mummy.

2. What is your favourite nickname?
Of course, everyone calls me Marley but sometimes Daddy calls me "Little Boy" (or Frank, when Mummy is not listenin').

3. If your humans want to spoil you, what should they get for you or do?
I love to have a chewy stick to take into the garden but most of all I like to have some time to snooze on Daddy's lap. It's the most comfortable place in the world. When I'm not nappin' I like to play zoomies with my sister, Lola, and to follow my little boy William around as he is always doing interesting things and is very kind to me an' Lola. I also love to get tickled behind my ear (we call that gettin' wuzzes).

4. What is your favourite spot in the house?
There are two places I really like: first, is the beanbag in the lounge by the fire (especially if the fire is on); second, is the steps outside the back door from where I can survey the garden and keep the 'orrid Biscuit (next door's cat) under close surveillance and make sure the squirrels do not steal food from the bird table. There is a photo of Lola an' me there.

5. What is the most exciting thing you ever did?
I recently went to Herne Bay to look for fossils with William and had my first taste of the sea. I don't really like water but if I am to spend my retirement in Bequia with Daddy then I best get used to it (at least that is what Daddy says). Another thing I always get excited about is going back to the farm where I was born when the family go on holiday. My "real" mummy and daddy and lots of my brothers and sisters still live there and we go on endless walks and the nice lady who runs the farm, Julia, lets me sleep on the sofa and gives me beef on Sunday.

6. What is your favourite game?
My favourite game is to pinch Lola's chewy stick and run away with it. She is only a pup and cannot keep up with me so I always win.

7. If there are any humans or anipals from Twitter you want to mention you can do that here... I'll post as many as you like.
Such a difficult question! There are so many kind and lovely anipals on Twitter who are my friends. However, I always give a mention to @henryandfriends as he is the world's nicest animal and like a Jedi Matser to us all. Also, I love @kolo_martin and he is starrin in the movie I am making. There are some nice lady dogs who keep me blushing like @teaganthedog and @2jacksandastaff. I also always enjoy talkin with @emmythecat @lexingtonthepup @woo100 @ri_guy @scottieterror @pinoytarsier @sidthecatahoula @dog_crazy @hanseebundee and @poppy_dog cos they always make me happy and larffin'. @jazzydacat makes me laugh all the time. @jedbramwell looks after me in the mornin cos he is in Canada. And twitter wud not be the same without all my border terrier chums such as @lolaterier @borderpup @fergusbt @terrorterrier @tonysez @diamondbertie @thegobros @zivabt @caberbt @btuniverse and all the nice ladies who tweet for their BTs (you know who you are :o). The best fun about twitter of course is that there are always new people coming along to make it even better. Wuzzes for them all.

Interview with Lady Doodle Dog Gilliland

1. What is your full name?

My full name is Lady Doodle Dog Gilliland


2. What is your favourite nickname?

Most people just call me Lady, but I like when Mom and Dad call me Doodle. Also Snoodle


3. If your humans want to spoil you, what should they get for you or do?

Food. Pretty much any kind, but I like steak, fried chicken, and Pizza best. Sometimes they get me toys to kill. I kill them very dead. Once they got me a boy to play with. He was 10 and we played in the sprinkler all afternoon.


4. What is your favourite spot in the house?

On the couch between Mom and Dad in the evening, or on the bed between them in the morning. That's the best place to nap - between Mom and Dad.


5. What is the most exciting thing you ever did?

Once I was walking in the woods with my cousins Newton and Photon. We saw a deer and chased it for a long time. That was very exciting. I'm glad I was with Newton though. He knew the way home. I might have been lost without him. I love Newton. He is the essence of dogness. He also taught me how to howl, which isn't too easy for a labrador retriever.


6. What is your favourite game?

I like to play "bring a toy". When I bring Mom a toy from my toybox, she gives me a treat. Sometimes she sits by the toybox and I find toys around the house and bring them to her. I'm not sure what that game is about, but I get treats for that too. After that I can pull them all out of the toybox again.


7. If there are any humans or anipals from Twitter you want to mention you can do that here... I'll post as many as you like.

I have lot's of human twitter friends. Mom and Dad are @kaystephen and @mgilliland, then there are my aunts and uncles @mcordell, @roncordell, @scott5cents and @KnitchYarnShop and good friend @twelvevolt. Mostly I follow dogs though. They are all so nice and funny.

I am a well traveled cat. I have lived in Los Angeles, Chicago, Knoxville, and have also visited 39 states.

6. What is your favourite game?
I prefer red dot or playing with Mousey. I tend to sit on Mousey, then throw him in the air and catch him. Then I yell at him and run away. It's quite sophisticated.

7. If there are any humans or anipals from Twitter you want to mention you can do that here... I'll post as many as you like.

Thank you for the interview! Purrs and kitty cat hugs!

Ask Evgeni #1

I really am not a big eater, I do eat because I have too but I am a fussy eater (that is how my mom calls it).

I also like the dried chicken strips mom cuts up to use to train with me. I only get them when we are training.

I'm 18 yrs, legally blind, 95% deaf. Riding my pram allows me to rest my legs & gives time to think of my research. I "graduated" from Animal Welfare 'Golden Oldies' in 2004, at the age of 12 (84 yrs); at the age of 18 (126) I earned my Hon. PhD.(c); Dogtor of Philosophy (Canine)

My favorite meal: spicy Mexican. Favorite treat: German pastries.

On either of my central triple folded feather doona giant beds; one covered with a mink coat, one sheepskin. The heater is on.


Most exciting thing U ever did

Live daily as a canine 'scolar' & gentleman. My good life began when I "graduated" from Golden Oldies Animal Welfare League (AWL). Local & reginal news media interviews followed, plus photo shoots, you name it. At 18 I earned a Hon. PhD.(c) for my dogtal thesis: "The effects of dietary "Spam" on canine pMail". Now I'm webbed & twittered.

Thesis background: This pMail question has dogged the canine world since the time of industrial revolution. Methodology: The research involved much leg work, on the streets and in the field. Research Tools: Eating. Peeing. Sniffing.

(My friends and admirers are, rightly amazed, 'higher learning' has NOT gone to my head.) I still do my daily chores: bring in the mail, take out the trash, bring in the groceries, oversee security, etc; I still talk to 'ordinary' dogs and cats!


Favorite game

Pick a Card: rules: (10 pack OK) You pick a card, then I pick one; then you, me; you etc, till all cards are out. Then we shred the cards. Take a pee. Take a nap. On twitter, I'm a champion Jig Dancer, and leader of VladimirCat's Old Pirates Jig Dance Group! My paw dexterity gets me in.


Any humans or animals to mention

"She" who pushes the pram, fluffs my doonas, & turns the heater on. "He" who cooks my steak, takes me on quiet walks, & helped me with my Dogtal thesis.

Bonnie ( Great Dane X ), part of my crew on our run, Susie & Monty also good anipals.

My invitation to all humans remains open: " Go ahead. Make your day - pat me. Spoil yourself."
