A Shout Out to my Name Sake

I want to give a shout out to the person I was named after, Mr. Greg Zipadelli.  Here he is working hard watching my main man Tony Stewart practice at Pocono Raceway this weekend.  Congrats on another Brickyard victory, Zippy!!  Let's go for three in a row!!!

As always, you are all my biatches.

No More Swollen Ear

Zippy's ear was doing much better on Sunday, the day after we went to the vet.  His ear is back to 100%.  I'm glad we decided not to wait to take him to the vet.  Once we read the article we found using google, we knew it could get serious.

Here's a picture from April when we went to Valley Forge.

 For those of you wondering where that is at...

Swollen Ear

We woke up on Saturday to find Zippy had an ear that was slightly swollen. A quick search of google and we found that he probably had a hematoma. We scheduled an appointment with the vet, and took him in. They said he gets it from flopping his head around. We clean his ears on a regular basis, and the doctor didn't find anything in there when she looked. Since it was early, they are going to wait to see if he has to have surgery to fix it. They did give him some anti-inflammatory drops. Today, the ear is already looking better. We are going to ensure he gets Benadryl every day, at least once, for his allergies. We had been giving them to him as needed for his eyes. The doctor said his eyes are only one symptom, so we should give him medicine everyday. She also cautioned that it will only get worse, and the labs are known for having terrible allergies. That was news to me.

Zippy does not seem to be in any discomfort. We are hoping he will be able to heal this himself.

Little Monster Biff

What's happening, my peeps?

Today I was out playing with my master, when the little monster decided she needed to play. If you listen to the video, you will hear her asking to be allowed to throw the toy. Then she proceeds to boss me around, telling me to sit. Then, gravity took over.

Cela l'enseignera à me diriger autour.

Vous êtes tous mes chiennes !

Birthday Pictures

Go Zippy!! Go Zippy!! It's Your Birthday!!

Hello, my peeps.

I'm celebrating my first birthday today. I'd like to give a shout out to my brother Smoke back in Illinois. Happy birthday, Smoke!!

For a birthday treat, I got a cupcake. You'll see in the pictures that it was there, and then it wasn't!! I never get people food, except for the cheese they give me with Benadryl in there for my allergies.

Anyways, here's a video of me playing catch.



I can't hear the sound, but I think this video has the lil' monster pointing out a pile of poop I just dropped in the front yard.




Gotta go lick my balls.

You are all my bitches!!

SPRING!!!

What up, bitches.

We've finally had some nice weather around here. I've been spending a lot of time outside. I've ruined the trees, so I'm running out of stuff to do. My master replaced the lattice on the deck (the stuff that I tore up), and replaced it with some plastic lattice. He thinks that will keep me from ruining it. I'll prove him wrong.

Anyways, the cool master got me a new ball. It even glows in the dark!! It's pretty cool. My tongue was dragging yesterday as we played. We sure have been waiting for weather like this!!

Here's some more pictures.

Going for the Great Dane look. Me and my shiny orange ball.

I Have Wood

What's up, my peeps?

I have to tell you this quick story. It has to be quick because the littlest monster is eating, and I know if I hang around under the table I'll be able to get me some chow.

Remember in one of my previous posts I was telling you I had to go so I could chew on some low branches of the trees in the yard? Well, today I had a bit of a mishap. I had just mauled one of the trees, and I was chewing away on this branch. This fu?king branch becomes lodged in the top of my mouth between my teeth. Yo mate, I couldn't get that sh?t out of there for the life of me. I had to walk around the house like a freaking dummy acting all weird and crap before the momma monster decided to check me out. We all know where this story is going, don't we. She's not the sharpest of claws, if you know what I mean, so she calls in the dad. At least now I know I'm going to get some relief. Only thing is he walks away!!! So I have the momma monster pinning me down, and this dude just walks away. He came back with a pair of freaking pliers!! I f?ck you not!! So he sticks those damn things into my gullet and pulls out this branch from inbetween my teeth. Man, I was glad to have it out of there.

Here's the pic as proof.

Talk to you all later. I have to go roll in the mud outside as payback for shoving pliers down my throat.

You are all my bitches!!!!

Freedom

Hello again, Chumps. It's Zippy again. I need to tell you about this new collar my keepers got me. They were tired of chasing me down the street everytime the smalleset monster let me out without a leash, so they had some dude com ein and dig around the yard. Now when I go towards the barrier I get Zapped. I'm not a stupid dog, so I've caught on pretty fast. Going back to my keepers, it was hilarious watching those fat asses try and catch me. One time I took them behind their house and across the street (we'll leave out the part of me almost getting hit by a car....she was going too fast anyways). So I'm out in the field with my ass in the air and nose to the ground hunting and sh?t, and they are huffing and puffing behind me trying to catch me. They were begging!!!!! "Please, Zippy. Please stop." Funny stuff.

Anyways, back to my original story. I was outside with the only cool keeper I have, the dad of the bunch. Anyways, he's trying to teach me to catch a pass like in football. So we're out playing and the mailman drives by. Better yet, he stops!!!! I thought this was some cool sh?t, so I was nice to him. Hell, he even gave me a treat. About 5 minutes later, the dude in the big brown truck drives up......and he has STEAKS!!!!!! Man, I could smell those ribeyes in that package. He was a pretty cool dude, and threw the ball for me a few times. The male keeper muttered soemthing like it would have been better if it was a hot looking dame. I'm the one with my nuts chopped off!!! How about a bitch for me?

Anyways, I gotta say this fence is working out great. Gotta run. There are still a few low branches on the front tree that I have not chewed off yet.

PS What's with the pic of the dude next to this?

A Day Called Christmas

Hello, all. Zippy here. I need to tell you about this crazy ass day I had the other day. For some reason, I was rustled out of bed early to go downstairs and watch those two monsters open presents. You know who the two monsters are, don't you? The ones that dressed me up in that stupid Mickey Mouse costume and harass me all day. Anyways, it turns out I got some presents too. That stupid, big female monster, I think she is the mother, put a wrapped object in front of my face and told me to open it. Like I knew what the hell I was doing!!! I'm 8 months old, Lady!! Anyways, I'm thinking there may be some good food or something in there, so I decide to open it. I was even hoping there may be some bitch in there for me so I don't have to hump my sleeping bag anymore. Anyways, what do these stupid people get me? A freaking pink elephant. They're all clapping and cheering and sh?t, and I'm just pissed. I mean, come on, a pink elephant. So they started to unwrap other presents and left me to myself. So I tore into the elephant, and I chewed her ass off. then I chewed off her face. They weren't even done opening presents yet and I had devoured her. That will teach them.

Zappy

Hello from Pennsylvania.

Zippy likes his new home. We have open space behind us and across the street. Zippy has gotten away from us on many occassions, so he normally heads back there. The open space has really tall grass, and sometimes you can see deer back there and hawks circiling above hunting. Zippy thinks he's a big time hunter when he gets back there, so he's hard to catch. I thought we were going to have to chase him to Ohio once. Anyways, on one of his trips out he almost got whacked by a car. Almost being inches. He was crossing the street from one open space to another. Ainsley has a tendency to let him out, and he always seems to get away from Jenna. We thought long and hard about getting an invisible fence, and had decided to put it off until the spring. Long story short, we decided to get one because we wanted Zippy to have some freedom and, most importantly, be safe. It was installed on Thursday and Zippy is doing great. He honestly seems much happier to be out in the yard playing with the kids without being tied down. He doesn't go near the yard line, so he is already learning his boundary. Here's a picture of him lounging around.

No snow yet, much to our disappointment. We are all anxious to see how Zippy likes it.

Merry Christmas, ya'all.

Care Package for Zippy

Today I received my medicine via UPS from Heather. I was surprised to see how much stuff was in there for the Zipster. He had a bone, treats, and another bone. Here he is trying to handle his new "chew". Yum. A meaty center. This will keep him occupied all night. 

Welcome to Pennsylvania, Zippy

Wow. It's been a long time since this has been updated.

Zippy and I made the two day trek to Pennsylvania on a Sunday and Monday. He was good in the car, but he had a hard time getting comfortable because he's getting so big. He didn't whine or anything, so that was good.

The first night in a hotel, he snored pretty bad. It was just like being in bed with Heather!! Anyways, he has done very well in our little suite we have been calling home. He spends the day in a crate, so he is excited when I come home. He has tons of energy, so I play ball with him. He loves to chase it up onto the bed and dive into the pillows. When I let him out, we "trot" to the pet walking area at a pretty good clip because he has to piss and shit so bad. It's kind of funny to see him heading that way so fast.

Here's a pic of his first night in our suite. He's reading.
