Let's Help Casper !!!

Oh my dogness, I have SOOOO much to blog about, but my mom has been on vacation and I was on vacation at my grandparents, and then my mom has been helping to put together an auction and has been too busy, and then she was getting caught up at work because she had this deadline, and she had all these errands to run, and she has been hogging the computer.... Well, I have stuff to blog about, don't ya know Mom??!!!

She says I have 5 minutes to make a post. So, I will make this short for now and then blog about all my other adventures later including my vacation at my grandparents' house, and the present I got in the mail, and stuff from my mom's vacation, and the freeway collapse, oh, and I'm sure I'm forgetting the rest!

Here is my 5 minute post:

----->> Let's Help Casper !!! <<--------

I'm sure most of you know Casper D Dog has relapsed. He has Evans Syndrome. We are all praying for him and sending him well wishes, helping out however we can. He still hasn't shown signs of improvement but his doctor gave him some new meds that we all hope will kick in soon. His friends and I decided to get together to host an online auction for him to help pay for his mounting vet bills. If you have an item to donate or want to bid on the items being auctioned, check out this web site:

Let's Help Casper
htttp://www.loscheider.org/casper

The items do not have to be doggie-related. We do ask that participants be from the US and Canada only because we are trying to keep shipping costs down -- the donor pays for shipping unless otherwise indicated (sorry to those of you not in these two regions)

We are accepting items up through this Saturday, May 5th (we just opened the auction site yesterday, so we are still entering in the items up for bid... that is why there isn't much on there right now). The auction will close on May 12th. If you'd like to participate, see the How to Register page and the Auction Rules and Process page. When you register, tell them you found out about this auction from my bloggy. My mom is the coordinator of this auction, so maybe she will see you around!

Guessing Game

Let's play a guessing game. Can you guess what I am doing or where I am in these pictures? And, no cheating you computer savvy dogs!

A. What game am I playing here? I bet you can't even see me. I love doing "this"... it drives my mom nuts and makes her frantic because she goes upstairs and downstairs and all around the house! Hint: Ivy's Randy finally gave up and showed up on the porch.

B. Where am I (besides under a bench)? Hint, my dad made a spechual machine, but he did not use it this time. Previous post #1, post #2

C. Can anyone guess where this roller coaster is?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

D. What is it? My mom told me when she saw it, she got excited and whipped out her camera and hoped the people in the aisle weren't looking. Can someone tell me what it is and if I should be mad at my mom for taking a picture of it instead of bringing it home?

E. This is my friend Noelle. My mom says this is one of her favorite pictures. What's that stuff in Noelle's teeth? I wonder if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

My Long Lost Sister, Raven

Do you remember how I met Eskies Stryker and Gypsy from Alaska? They were the ones who attended the start of the Iditarod 2007 race in Willow, Alaska. Well, it turns they have a new sister. She is my long lost sister, Cherokee Silveroaks Raven!! This is so cool, isn't it? Such a small dog world, a co-inky-dink. Raven is my litter-mate, born on the same date as me, has the same parents as me, born in the same city as me. She likes to eat, too, just like ME! I think we have the same body build, but I am more fluffier than she is. I wonder if she weighs the same as me.

Here is her picture, my picture, and Tango's picture. We are all litter-mates. Tango is Ender's daddy. Do you see a resemblance?

Raven (Gypsy is peeking in on the left):

Me:

Tango:

I personally think Tango looks nothing like me, at least for his face. But, he and Ender sure look alike.

Hey, by the way, did you notice the smudge on my face? Hee hee!! I wuz up to something, but my parents can't figure it out!! Hee hee, it's a secret... such a big secret important secret that I have forgotten what it was all about because that is the best way to keep a secret!

Dog Beer

Did you all see the chocolate cookies for dogs that Ivy's Randy brought back from Deutschland? Ivy said that because there is a picture of a dog on the bag of cookies, they MUST BE FOR DOGS!! I can't argue with that kind of smartness. Ivy is so smart, so that must be true. If that is true, then my mom said all these beers and ales and things from Trader Joe's are for animals too, and there is one for dogs!! I can't read too well, but the picture doesn't lie. Why else would they put a dog picture on it?!

And Introducing..... CASPER!! ?? !!!!

*#&$@$ ?? Yes, yes, you heard it right. Casper!

There sure are a lot of Caspers out there, huh? There is Casper D Dog and Casper from Ohio. Well, now there is Casper from Canada! Give a warm and fuzzy welcome to our friend!! He just got a new bloggy called Casper's Adventures.

Hmmmm, are the eskies beating out all the other doggies by having more bloggies?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

If you are clicking on Casper D Dog's google ads to help raise money for Casper D Dog, when you click the ads, please do really look at the web sites. You will find all sorts of neat stuff, like peanut butter treats, and maybe you will find something that you can get your parents to buy for you. The google ads are paid for, and when you click on them, they'd be paying for Casper's medical bills, so be kind to them and at least look at their web sites.

Other ways to help Casper D Dog pay for his medical bills is to donate through Casper D Dog's paypal. If you are interested, you can go to Casper D Dog's web site and leave a comment that you'd like to donate directly.

Thank you to everydog who has donated so far! Last year when Casper D Dog got sicky, we raised oodles of greenies to help.

Clicking for Casper, Part 2

This just in from a fellow eskie regarding clicking on Casper's google ads to help generate income for Casper's medical bills:

"And REMEMBER - only click one or two ads with a brief pause between clicks - actually read a bit of what you clicked through to. I found a site that had links to some good dog food recipes - even click to another page on the sponsors site before going back to Caspers blog. Go back later and check out some more sponsors. These sponsors are helping Casper, so see what they have to say. Google monitors click through rates per impression. An impression is the set of ads that get loaded each time you go to Caspers blog. Typically people will only click through about 1% to 10% of the ads. If Caspers rate jumps to 50% or more and stays there for some time they may get fussy...."

So, only click on ONE or TWO ads and pause between clicks. Make it seem like you are really interested in the product so click within that site and pause every so often. Do this through out the week, but don't over do it.

Clicking for Casper

Hi All, this is a quick post. Casper D Dog is not feeling well and has had a relapse of Evans Syndrome. Everydog, please send positive thoughts Casper's way so that he recovers soon!!

Also, if you click on the google ads on Casper's blog, this will help him earn a few cents that will go towards his medical bills which are very expensive. This is a free way for all of you to help and it costs nothing to click on the google links. Please spread the word! Here is the URL to Casper's blog http://casperddog.blogspot.com/

Casper, we hope you get better soon!!!

Faster Than a Greyhound, ME, Not My Mom

My mom is way too slow. Usually she wants me to perform tricks, but when it comes right down to it, she is wayyyy tooooo slowwww in telling me the commands, so I just do the tricks on my own before she even tells me what to do. Plus, I am a mind reader. Yeap, I know exactly what she is going to ask me to do!!

Anyhow, Luckie the Dachsie was wondering how to learn "Bang bang." Well, Luckie, I don't know if this will help you, but here I am "playing dead."

Play Dead, Take 1:


Play Dead, Take 2:


Play Dead, Take 3:


Hee hee, did you notice in the last segment of the last video that I do all the commands BEFORE my mom says them, and then afterwards she just states what I have performed? I have my mom trained well!

On another note, my mom just sold her very first ribbon necklace for dogs! Congratulations Mom!!! She just opened up her Etsy web site this past weekend. Her first sale happened today. The transaction was through paypal, so the greenies are there, but she just has to figure out how to get the greenies out. Hmmm, is that where a paypal debit card comes in handy?
