Jake & Jazzy Grow up, Roseburg, OR (2026)

01/14/2024

There are many reasons why I choose to not spend much time on FB or any other social media program. I could be here all day listing them. I don't have and never will have a Tik Tok account. The biggest reason is they are all huge time wasters, if you aren't careful. When i do jump on, it's usually to post an ad for one of my businesses; either real estate or Madame Opal's. OR, it's to look at photos that friends have posted, just to catch up in a small way. But I am seriously tired of FB sending me messages that basically equate to a cyber spanking of some sort for being a bad girl and not following the rules. So far it's been regarding my online store. They took down two items listed in the store saying they were offensive. One said "just breathe" and the other I can't recall but was equally benign. And these posts had violated the FB rules. I filed a complaint and requested a copy of the rules, as I was encouraged to do. This has been going on for 2 years and I've NEVER heard back from FB. They've also put up some sort of block to not allow anyone to purchase from my store via FB or IG, after encouraging me to list my items on their sites.......and spending multiple days/hours doing so......NO answer ever, as to why! Now, yesterday i was too busy at the Bridal fair to acknowledge their latest message in the short timeframe given to me, so today I see that they have taken down my page, as threatened, about my two puppies. Jake and Jazzy. We all know Jake has a new Mom and Dad and I have occasionally posted about Jazzy anyway (you know, they liked to tell their own stories'!). FB did this because again, I have been offensive and violated their rules. It's been at least 6 months since I have posted on the J&J page, and they are just now upset? Some of the stories were super cute and I wish I had saved them. But I am just done with them. I am expecting them to take down my real estate page next! I'm pretty sure I've been equally offensive there as well! Anyway, that's my rant for the day! If I'm not commenting on your posts, it's likely I haven't seen them, because I'm not giving Facebook my time and energy, except to brag about or congratulate a real estate client or someone in that realm or to chat about my Madame girls....Miss "O" and Miss Kate. And when spring sports start up again, I may need to tell a tale or two about one of my sweet grands. Otherwise, Facebook can 😙my 🫏!! Here's my "bad" girl Jazzy these days.........

04/18/2023

Well hi there friends and fans. How are you and your fur friends? I'm finally a "big girl" according to Mom. I guess that means I'm all grown up. I will be 3 in June! Wow, in Dog years that means Mom should take me out drinkin'! I actually prefer toilet water. It's always nice and cold and it's fun to watch it go away and come back again when Mom pushes on that thing. She's always tellin' me to go away, but it's fun. heeheehee Oh that Mom, she worries about too many things. Like my jumping. What is wrong with getting excited and jumping. It's good exercise. She should try it sometime. I don't usually jump on anyone and when I do, I don't mean it. I'm just happy to have a new human to sniff. They all smell different. And I always know when Mom is out petting some other furry critter. I can smell that too.

Speaking of Mom, can I talk to you about her...... I love her. She’s, my human. She buys me food, she buys me treats and toys, she takes me for walks and sometimes for long rides in her car. One time she even let me sit in the back on the seat (with a cover on it) all the way to a place called Albany and back. We stopped and she let me out to chase after my ball for a while, and then I got back in and slept and slept. But she needs to remember I am a dog. I bark. I bark at other dogs who are close to my palace. I bark at cats because................IT"S A CAT!!! I bark at birds because they land in my yard and dig worms and I want to go help. I bark at the flag because the wind makes it blow and I think someone is at the door. Oh, and I bark at someone at the door. Please tell her to just accept that I am a dog. If I could talk, I would tell her I bark because I can't talk and I want her to be safe. She is a good Mom, but she did get mad at me the other day. I saw something in her clothes basket in her bedroom, it smelled so good, I couldn't help myself and I brought it out to the other room to show her.. She had her computer on her lap (again) and she didn't say anything so I thought it was ok. I laid down with it and I couldn't help but put it in my mouth. Then I didn't mean to do anything wrong, but it must have been in my mouth too long and some of it disappeared. I might have eaten it. Mom put her stuff down and saw that I was lying on her sweatshirt, so she scolded me and took it away, putting it back with her other dirty clothes. About a week later she came out wearing her shirt. It looked good. She went out to bring in wood and then she left me alone for a while. When she came back, she showed me the inside of her arm and some of her shirt was gone. If a week goes by, should I still get in trouble? It’s not my fault she didn't look closer that one day. She asked me what was wrong with me. Shoot I don't know, I think I am pretty cool as dogs go. And I kinda didn't remember that I had chewed on her shirt, but she sorta let me. Isn't that her fault? I don't understand humans. Tell us no when it happens, don't wait, because we forget.

Mom takes me to my favorite pet kennel more often lately. She said, "Jazzy girl, I'm sorry but you can't go with me this time". She feels bad, but I am excited. I have friends at my "school" as Mom likes to call it and I just run and run and bark and bark and no one says "Jazzy, NO! Stop barking"! I like those humans. They are nice to me but I am always happy to see Mom come pick me up and take me home. Last time, I walked into our house and laid on the kitchen floor by my food dish and fell asleep for a really long time. I was so tired. Mom says she has some more stuff coming up so I guess I will get more school time and recess is my favorite!

I told Mom the other day that I would like to see Jake, my brother. I know I have 9 brothers and sisters, but Jake used to live with me, and Mom and I want to see him. Okay, well I have to poo. I guess I do that "a lot", but really, I only do that when I have to. I will check in again. Maybe I'll send pictures of Mom. She’s is getting so grown up. I should be showing her off more.

Hey, it’s me….Jazzy….finally! I have missed you!
I am now 2 years and almost 5 months old. I weigh 81.4 # and that darn vet lady says I am 5 # fluffy. I hope Mom doesn’t listen to her and put me on some kind of diet thing, which I believe means less food.

I have been missing my time on here chatting you all up! Mom had to ”rehome” my brother Jake because the 2 of us were “too much” for her. When she sat down with us and said one of us has to go, we thought it would be “us” missing “her”. We were sure wrong. I haven’t seen him since he got a new mom AND a dad and a little person too! Mom says his new parents “Tim and Lula” are awesome and he has lots of room to run around. I wonder if he gets in trouble for digging holes too.😲 I miss my brother, I hope Mom takes me to see him soon and if he calls me “chubby”, I’m gonna bite him. Snicker snicker…..I hope Mom lets me keep chatting to you all, I get bored sometimes.
This morning Mom woke up all cheerful, She made her coffee and sat in her chair. She’s been working a lot this week. I heard her say something about the license renewal and how much money the real estate stuff can add up to, just to have a job. “It’s always something…..” But when I would walk over and lay my head on her keyboard, she didn’t get mad she would just rub my ears. Let me see a raise of paws from all you fur friends who just love it when your humans stop what they are doing and just rub your ears. I lay my head on my human Moms lap while she is using her laptop (on her lap…..why do I snicker at that?), and she instinctively reaches over to rub my ears and pat my head. But when she says, “hello baby” (and it sounds more like “hallo baby”) my tail really starts waggin, like a helicopter blade on high. I am so happy, and I love my ears to be rubbed. Mom says they feel like silk, I don’t know what that is but they can feel like anything she wants as long as she doesn’t stop.
Speaking of Mom, my human. We should talk about her. She tries hard but raising her sure has challenges. And she says I am challenging (I am trying to learn how to roll my eyes….Mom is so good at that!). She has taught me a lot. But she still gets so upset when I dig in the back yard and bark at folks with canines walking by my yard. Shoot………I’m a dog and it’s bad enough those darn cats think they can come in my yard any old time and poo! Grrrrrrrr I’m just letting those other dogs know that I live here, that’s all. Because mom has a fence around the back, those cats stay out of my back yard. I let them know who the boss is too, and I chased a couple out front when mom forgot to shut the gate. I don’t know what I am supposed to do with it if I ever caught one. But they sure do scurry off and it feels good to chase them and be all tough.
You know what? Before I let Mom have her laptop back, I should tell you how smart I am. I sit and wait like a good girl until she says it’s okay to go to my food dish. Sometimes I am so excited my lips just drool and it makes Mom a little nuts when I do that. She always wipes my mouth off. Which is weird. I sit and wait at the door until she says okay to go out. And I sit and wait when we have company at the door, but then they come in and I just can’t help myself. I run circles around them, sniff all their smells, sometimes jump (but not on them, I just jump for joy!). Especially when that Savana girl comes over. She’s s cute and just my size. And Adley is taller and talks so sweetly to me and is nice too. I like those people. Okay everyone, I have to give Mom her stuff now, she’s giving me “the look”. Do you know what I mean? She does that to me and doesn’t even say anything, and I am so smart I just know………… talk to you all later! Enjoy the photos!!

Well hello everyone, Sis and I are staring at our 9 month birthdays in a couple of weeks. I guess that makes us 8.5 months old. har har..........

01/21/2021

Hello friends and family. It's me.....Jake. It's been awhile since we posted because, sadly, we seem to "challenge" our Mom a lot and when she's overly challenged, she is cranky and won't let us use her stuff.....like the computer......so I'm sneaking in a story about Jazzy.

First of all we are all 7 months old now! Wow....in dog years that's a lot (I think). I think we need a family reunion. I bet me and Jazzy are the craziest of all. Mom does try hard to work with us, but she's so busy with her 2 jobs and house stuff (she's been a crazy lady about the house lately), she runs out of time. We think Mom needs one of her little get aways. heehee

So in the last few weeks Jazzy broke out of her kennel. Mom bought us beautiful ones to match and she broke out of 2 sides and the door. Ohhhh Mom was NOT happy. she had to use plywood and bungie cords to keep her in all thru the holidays. then after Christmas she got jazz a metal (I think steal) one and so far she hasn't attempted to chew and push her way out. Its bigger and we both curl up inside together. It has a nice cushy bed. Why would she ever try to escape. It's great. But Mom sure doesn't trust her.

I don't have a lot of time so let me tell you about last night. We were being good. Had been good all day. I even heard mom singing with her friend "Alexa". It was great and we started barking along and tried to dance with her. Somehow she didn't think we were as cool as we thought we were. Then Mom poured a beer into one of her freezer glasses and turned on TV for more news stuff. We don't know what beer is, but we do like her coffee and her milk, whenever we can get into it that is. BUT...........we get into trouble for that, so it's not a good thing. Jazzy takes longer to learn. Mom set her frosty glass on the table by the big chair she snuggles into and puts her feet up. Then she went to let me out. I saw it coming and tried to give Jazzy the look, but Jazz already had her nose in Moms beer and was lapping it up. She liked it!!! Mom looked over and shouted NO! and Jazzy got scared and knocked the glass over, spilling it everywhere. Mom was sure unhapppy! We both ran into Jazzys kennel, so Mom shut the door and put the cover down. All we heard was a lot of mom growling and figured we better be quiet. I tried to give Jazz the look, but she wasn't looking at me in time. I did sniff her breath a lot. Made me want to try some, but not if Mom gets upset. She was mostly upset over the big mess. Oh that girl. She gets us in trouble a lot.

Mom got in touch with Katie again and we are going to take some classes from her. Soon, Mom hopes. One we are "better kids" on the leashes then mom will attempt to walk us more. I have my paws crossed. I want to be a good boy, I just can't help that sometimes I am not.

Funny thing today, Mom tried to block Jazzy from going behind her recliner. She says we are too big now. Kind of like when I got behind the TV the other day and got all tangled up in all the cords, wrapping the rabbit ears around my neck and almost knocking over the TV. Man, that Mom of ours can move fast when she has to! She was not happy, but she was really scared for me, and I was trying to get away and I couldn't. She got me untangled and I hope I don't ever do that again. Her rabbit ears have a broken ear. I'm sorry Mom..........anyway, this basket she put on the floor has some old books in it, but I guess she still liked them. So did I. I was just laying there, being a good boy, licking them and nibbling a bit. She chased me away 4x. I couldn't help it. This morning I was going to go taste them again and I couldn't get past the smell. it had some red stuff on the edges now. Mom laughed and said "what? Don't you like Cayenne Pepper?" hmmmm......guess I'll leave that basket alone...........

Here's a photo from 2 days ago, Jazzy loves to sit and look out the window and I love to lay by this heater!

Well it's been awhile since Mom has let one of us use the computer to keep in touch with you all. She's busy working on it all of the time. But today she's busy with "house and Christmas stuff", whatever that is. She says we cant have a Christmas tree because she doesn't trust us, and we are too much work already. WHAT???? Bring a tree into the house??? That sounds super fun! We think she should do it!

Mom has been stressed. I feel bad, I made her cry the other day. I didn't mean to. She took Jake for a walk and left me. I was really good for her on our last walk, I didn't know why I had to stay behind. I was sad and unhappy so I figured out a way to break out of my kennel and try to follow them. She was so upset with me. But, I got out and the door stayed closed and then she was coming back with Jake to get me (I thought) and I was so happy. But I smelled frustration and then next she saw my kennel and it was all over. She didn't pet us and she moved my kennel next to a wall and Jakes to another spot, so we have our own rooms now. We got new names for awhile.......... I didn't really like that first night where I couldn't see Jake. But I could still smell him. I was afraid to tell Mom, so I toughed it out, and each night is easier. We run to each other every morning when Mom gets us up and we doggie hug and sniff Mom. She pretends to not like that, but I'm pretty sure she really likes the attention, so we do it more! Moms been pretty good all week, but she bought us these bright orange collars that beep at us when we are doing things Mom doesn't want us to do. I don't like mine at all. It bugs Jake, but bugs me more. Today I ran from Mom, I didn't want to wear it, but she won.The crazy human got me under the table where I was hiding. She was so smart. She doesn't give up easy. Oh....that Mom! She's our best human, and we didn't like it when she cried.

We don't know what it means, but Mom is taking us to see Dr Christy next week to get "fixed". I heard her tell her friend that we are "prolific humpers" and she needs to take care of that. I don't know what that means, but I hope it's not bad and we won't be away from Mom for too long. Even when she's upset with me, she's the very best cuddler. I know I am getting bigger ( #43!!!) but she will still let me snuggle on her lap and give her puppy kisses. I'm good and don't lick her face, but she laughs and says my whiskers tickle. We like her laugh!

Mom says IF we ever learn to be good on a leash she will walk us every day and take us hiking. She wants to walk us together, but we always trip her or get so excited over all of the new smells and we forget to pay attention to her. She walked me over to pick up her vehicle from the Good Guys the other day. Her friend Greg works there, he was so nice to me. I got so excited I tried to jump over his counter. It was pretty tall so I fell back, but I was ready to go see him! It was a fun walk. I smelled all kinds of stuff, I had many other humans walking by and would stop and want to pet me. But mom would say no thank you she's in training. One human lady with no teeth said mean stuff and walked away. I growled at her. So did mom as we walked away. I was proud of mom.

Jake and I are getting so big, but our litter mates all seem to be bigger than us. I bet we catch up tho. Here's a picture of me snuggled and snoozing on Moms lap, then there's one with Mom "catching me in the act" after she took that mat thing away from me a couple of times. The next one is us licking peanut butter off of these really cool mats that stick on the fridge. WE LOVE LOVE THEM! When Mom gets them out, we are jumping and twirling so happy! And last picture is Jake snoozing on Mom. Hes cute the way he crosses his paws. We will tell you what getting fixed is all about after we see Dr Christy. We will keep trying to be good kids.......

Happy Thanksgiving you all!!

11/23/2020

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and especially to our Mom and please tell Grandma Kirstin to give our momma a puppy hug from us. We miss them all.. It's been a busy month with Mom starting her new business and all. If I could talk, I would tell her how proud we are of her, and when we are mischievous and she has to tend to us (or scold us) it's really an opportunity for her to take a break from all that work. She just doesn't see it that way. She's been busy. And if i could talk I would tell her that I know she's worked hard to teach the 2 of us to sit and stay and wait until the "OK" command to eat. We aren't perfect , but we wait now (and drool) and we don't' charge at our bowls anymore so thats something. And I would tell her how funny we think she is after she says it's okay and she claps her hands and does that goofy happy dance in her pj's. (we might have our heads in our bowls, but we know what she's doing). And I'd tell her we love her. I would also tell her I am sorry i pulled too hard on the leash and lost my tags. But It was only 50% my fault (the pulling part) the other was the groomer, they hooked the leash into the wrong spot. Sorry Mom. If Jazzy could talk, she would apologize for eating 💩💩 She knows it makes Mom angry, but she can't seem to stop herself. She sure is a hard one to raise. So stubborn.🐾 And Mom, I would tell you I know we have a lot to learn still. Even is a big help. Look how he learned us to sit at the door when you open. We just forget that once it's opened, we are supposed to stay. But we will work on that. We just don't get a lot of door knockers. :) We LOVE our new Peanut Butter toy. Wow, it's awesome. We can just lick and lick and lick on it. It's our favorite. Thank you Mom. You're so nice to us, even when we are that bad word you use sometimes.

I would also show you we are inheriting your funny nature. Yes, we laugh at you like you laugh at us. Look at the funny dog pictures we found!! We think you're very funny, but we also know when you mean business. We especially love it when you're singing at the sink washing stuff. Or when you do your happy dance after something good happens. And look how sweet we are when we snooze next to you while you're working. We like it best when you take your computer with you and sit by the fire.

So Mom, if we could talk..................we would say we are sorry, we love you and we are trying. Evan is a good teacher and we appreciate when he comes to help you. We want to walk more so let's work on that too. Except for that dog next door, we aren't sure about him................but we like our walks. Maybe someday we can all go together. So Mom, happy thanksgiving (not sure what that is, but we hear it a lot) and we hope you start sleeping more. We hear you at night, we are just too lazy to get up with you (sorry). Oh.....and Mom? Those big ol bones you put in the freezer? If you aren't going to be gnawing on them, I bet we would like too. Just a thought..........love you mom! J&J

Happy Halloween to all of our new friends from Jake & Jazzy!🐕‍🦺🦮

10/31/2020

Well we sure have been busy! It’s me Jake again. I don’t know where to begin, I know it’s been a couple of weeks since we checked in with everyone. Moms been a fairly good girl lately, but she’s been super busy. Raising her is no easy task. She’s been hunting with our brother Max’s dad (and going again I hear). I don’t really know what that means, but she comes home “happy to be in the mountains” and smelling weird. I sniff her, Jazzy licks and sniffs…..and Mom says Stop! It’s just pine trees and mountain air. And then she loves us up and changes her clothes. We might want to go to the mountains with mom someday. It smells interesting.
We now have something in one of our rooms in the house called a fire. Mom puts chunks of wood in this big box in the wall and it makes pretty flames I can see in the window. Sometimes I just sit and stare……..and stare……and then mom will laugh at me and say I am the canine version of Kev. I don’t know this Kev, but he must be cool if he’s like me! It makes warm air come out of it and Jazzy likes to lay on the bed near it.

Poor Mom, we are worried about her. I know we need “to have better manners” and we are trying. We both like walking with mom, but the leash thing is a bit confining. Makes it hard to jump with joy and embrace the whole outdoors. There is a whole world on the other side of our fence!! Who knew?? And there’s a dog next door that charges at me when Mom and I walk by. I don’t like that. And he barks, so I want to bark back, but Mom scolds me. Why can he bark and I can’t? So I raise my hair up at him and I give him the look……..and we keep walking. But I do keep pulling that way cuz I want to make him stop yapping at me. I was just minding my business! Geez……!!

Mom is having Evan work with us now. We sure like him. I feel bad that we mind him better than we do Mom, but when Mom is super annoyed, we sit right down. She has a big bark when she needs it. Yikes!!! She had a bad day today, So let me tell you her story for a change. From our view.
She hates flies. I don’t know why. I caught one the other day and was pretty proud. She said it was so gross, so I just swallowed it. It was kinda weird but oh well. There have been roofers here for 2 days putting a new roof on our house. We were scared of them, so we haven’t gone out much and once I had to go p*e really bad, but I didn’t tell Mom and I just squatted on the mat where she puts my food dish. Ahhhhh I did feel better. But then Mom came in the kitchen to grind her coffee and she stepped right in it. It was a “puddle”. She’s always barefoot, so that was better, right? I thought she would be happy it wasn’t on the carpet or the hardwood floor. But no, we both got scolded because she didn’t know for sure who did it. I gave Jazzy an apology sniff so she wouldn‘t be mad at me. Then Mom poured a glass of milk after she cleaned up the mess and when she went to drink it an “f’ing fly was in it”!!! I don’t think I am supposed to say that word so I hope you know what I mean. She poured it out and muttered way more than usual. Finally, she just pushed us out the door and shut it! So we made friends with the roofers. They were so nice! But Mom didn’t like when I jumped on them. I’m sorry Mom, I was just so excited and not scared anymore. She went back in to keep working on her chili. We asked to come back in and so we were watching her and smelling something wonderful in the air. We’ve never had people food, but it sure does smell good. Mom dropped some cooked burger on the floor when she was putting into the chili pot and we both scampered over. It smelled so good and we started to fight over it and one of us bit Moms toe. She was pretty upset with us. Holy moly! It was an accident Mom! Sorry!! Then her phone started ringing a lot. She got 42 phone calls today from 42 different numbers all leaving the same message to call a number in New York. What is New York? Whatever that is, she was not happy. She is on the phone with her phone people now and she’s very upset because they can’t do anything except charge her 2.99 per month for a premium call filter. I don’t understand all these human issues. They are sure complicated. We eat, we sleep. We p**p. We play. We eat some more. P**p some more and sleep some more. They should try living like a dog once in a while. Mom is a hot mess tonight and drinking. She seems to think it will help, but I think she should just take a walk and a nap. It always works. When she comes home from hunting, she takes a shower and seems so happy! A tired human is a happy human……I think. If you see our Mom, give her a hug. I think she needs one. We will try to cuddle with her later. When she settles down a little. We love our MOM. Xoxo mom!!

One last thing. We are doing so well with sitting (but I guess we need to work on laying down) and we are good at feeding time. We sit (but we do get up and down a little) when we realize mom means business and we won’t get our food if we don’t sit and stay! And now we stay until she says okay. It’s funny because if Jazzy has to wait too long she starts drooling all over the floor. If I wait too long, I get so anxious my front paws start sliding on the floor, but I am still sitting!! We go to the vet to get weighed and get our monthly dose of something next week. I’ll check back in then. Here’s a high five paw for ya!!!🐾🐾

PS, if you see the photo of a remote (there were really 2 of them) I am not sure how that happened.........another story for another day.....
