7 Tips on How To Be An Alpha Dog

Woof! Woof!! Hello, you guys! With recent developments, I started to notice something weird.

I was always the alpha dog around here with no competition and had mommy wrapped around my paws.

Then Fluffy came and now Snowy is here. You've seen how Fluffy takes over and Snowy does things that makes me think he wants to overthrow me. The nerve!

Luckily Fluff and Snow are weaklings. I'm still the alpha dog and put them in their place if they even think of stepping out of line.



They should thank me for taking on alpha responsibilities. It's a tough job. Just look at my pack of weirdos.

A crazy puppy with boundary issues that never stops playing. An older dog that just appeared out of nowhere and can't stop watering stuff, plus a crazy human that treats us like babies when everyone can see we are doggies.

See what I have to deal with?!!

Luckily I'm the best doggie for the job. For those who want to know how to be the best alpha dog ever, I made a list of things to help you out.

How to be an Alpha Dog

1. Make sure they don't eat when you eat

I yell at Snowy when he eats when I eat. It's disrespectful!

Fluffy and I are close so she can eat as long as she doesn't eat alone...and we're separated by mommy or a gate. She's known as a food thief around here so one can't be too careful.

2. Sleep in all their beds

Their beds are the places where they feel the comfiest and it smells exactly like them. I need to make it smell like me so that they don't feel too comfortable.

Make sure you rub your scent all over it. I lie on their beds and wiggle on my back so that my alpha smell gets in there good. Comfort is for alphas!!

3. Protect the pack

It's my job to warn everyone when someone is coming to visit. Fluffy follows my lead as she should and Snowy has proven to be an excellent co-guard doggie.

That does not mean we're friends. Guarding is our job and he's just a co-worker.

Fluffy is really bad at it though and needs more practice. She's way too friendly with everyone that comes here. They are invaders Fluff! Geez!

4. Be first at everything

Be the first to get the ball, to greet the mommy and to eat the food. Fluffy is super fast and is trying to be first at everything. She's very rude, you guys.

She shoves me out of the way sometimes. I get her back by sitting on her and pulling her hair. That will teach her! Grrr!

5. Control the human

At the moment it seems like Fluffy is my biggest competition when it comes to alpha dog status, but I think mommy Renza can easily overthrow me if I don't watch out.



She's the food supplier, toy keeper, and the tummy rubber. I try my best not to do what she says because alphas don't take orders, but she has some good persuasive methods and it's really hard not to listen to her.

Be strong and don't let your human bribe you. Alphas don't accept bribes!

Uhm.. maybe now and again won't do any harm right? Right?!!

Fluffy trying to overthrow me to become the alpha dog.

6. Don't show your weakness

The minute you show any weakness, you become vulnerable and one of your pack members might see it as a good time to strike. Show them who's in charge! Grrr!

At the moment mommy is my biggest weakness and Fluffy is using it against me. She's forcing mommy to give her loads of attention by causing chaos and going as far as fake crying to get cuddles and rubs.

I'll show her I can share! She's my Renza too! Fluffy is a master manipulator, you guys. Help me!!

7. Know your packs habits and weakness

With mommy Renza and Fluffy, it's easy to read them and anticipate their next move, but Snowy is like a blank board. What is he planning?! He's up to something I know it!

Until I sniff out his master plan I'll keep my eye on him. He acts all innocent in front of everyone but he's definitely not. Soon Snowy, soon!!

Snowy refusing to help me!!

There you go! Being the alpha dog is hard work but it's necessary to keep the pack in line. Who knows what they'll do if left uncontrolled?

For one week I decided to sleep late and Fluffy decided to solo guard. Wow! I felt so embarrassed because I'm her mentor.

It was awful! She barked at everyone and everything! Humans, birds, plants, cars, the wind...

We all thought she was losing her mind...more than before. Luckily mommy jumped in and corrected the situation by teaching Fluffy the "quiet" command. Whether she listened or not is another story.

Fluffy's quiet training progress.

I saw what was going on and decided to not sleep in so that I can keep an eye on Fluffy. She quickly stopped solo guarding after that.

Uhmm...I know what it sounds like, you guys. Don't worry I'm the Alpha, not mommy. Right?!!

Arghoooooooooo!!!

Fluffy the Not So Evil Pack Leader

Ruff! Ruff! Hello humans! As your future Queen, I've come to realize that I need to start showing my gentle side. I really don't want to be seen as an evil pack leader.

I know a puppy like me that loves to destroy everything in sight needs to have some sort of balance.

How can I rule without coming off too harsh? We have enough dictators on this planet. Will my fluff and puppyness be enough to win over the world? I think not!

I thought of a few things I could try doing to show my followers that there's no need to fear me. Feedback will be appreciated my future sheep.

Fluffy's leadership skills and future plans

1. New pack name

Maybe I can stop calling everyone sheep. It's not very nice I know. I can probably call you all my faithful fluffy pack.

That means we're a team. Yes, I know sheep are fluffy too but it's not the same thing. I promise. Go team Fluffy go!! Yay!! Ruff!

2. Stop threatening my faithful fluffy pack

I like to yell. A lot! I'll try to be less yelly and more understanding. A puppy is still learning to navigate this world so it's normal to bark orders.

3. Listen to suggestions

I'll admit I'm a bit stubborn but I'm willing to be open and listen to the people's issues and ways to help us all work together better. Yummy treats will help me listen better. Bribe me, please!!!

4. Show appreciation

Let my faithful pack know they're appreciated. You're really awesome my fluffies! Thank you for supporting your Future Queen. Licks

5. Outsource my duties

A puppy can't do everything. It makes me super tired. If I can get helpers to help out with daily tasks that will make me more relaxed. A relaxed leader is a good leader. The sheep will be more eager to follow me. Uhmm...I mean fluffy pack. Sorry, I'm still getting used to the name change.

6. Encourage everyone

I can try to be a bit more encouraging. You can do it! You'll never be alone because you have a pack supporting you.

7. Make sure I know my pack members names

Well, there are 7 billion people in the world. I'm guessing at least half will Queen me. That's a lot of names to remember. I think it's best you all wear name tags from now on. Don't add to my work, please! Grrr!

I still have a long way to go but I'll try to be the best pack leader ever! Renza mommy, Buffy, and Snowy are still my main pack.

I think I'm allowed to have two packs. With my main pack, I can do whatever I want because they love me no matter what.



Snowy keeps running away from me though. I really want to play with him but he hates playing. I've tried everything but nothing is working.

Yes, I'm a hair puller and I wrestle a bit too rough, but that's normal. Right? Buffy can keep up.

He runs and hides away from me only 20% of the time. What's wrong with Snowy then? Maybe he forgot he's a dog.

I think I might need to send him to Fluffy Island for some much-needed tuning. Even mommy wrestles with me and we all know how wimpy she is.

I'm a "give it my all" type doggie. Don't worry my fluffy sheep. Those who can't keep up will go with Snowy.

Time to go now and do some puppy stuff. I see mommy sewing my bed together again. I'll go help her pull the thread out.

See you soon my fluffy pack!

How to Get Away With Anything Every time - Buffy's Dog Tips

Woof! Hello you guys! I'll have to admit I'm not always the good boy mommy Renza is making me out to be. 

She always takes my side and that makes everyone think I do everything right. Her taking my side also means I can get away with anything.

Fluffy, on the other hand, gets blamed for everything. She always gets caught. She has not perfected the art of looking innocent although you're guilty yet.

We tore apart both our beds and Fluffy was caught. So mommy said she's very naughty and keeps bringing it up now. Fluffy the Destroyer.

I helped destroy the beds. My blanket too. Except I did not get blamed.

Why is that? I thought about it and I'll share a few things I think helped me escape the blame game.

How to get away with anything

1. I'm very fluffy

My fluffiness makes me soft and cuddly. Fluffy still needs more fluff. Ironic yes! Mommy Renza loves soft things.

I don't allow her to cut my hair. If she does manage to cut it, I'll be less fluffy and more blamable.

Not all doggies have fluff, but then again not all dog moms and dads like fluff. You need to know what it is about your breed that they love and play it up.

Rub it in their faces. It's your best weapon. Whether it's your head tilting skills, your comforting licks or whatever you do that makes you adorable.

2. Play the victim

I'm not saying go and pick a fight with a dog. Maybe a cat. My bad experience with the doggies next door made mommy Renza only see the good in me and she could not be bothered if I do terrible things like trying to attack the neighbor.

She just says it's the neighbor's own fault and he deserves it. Grrr! I've been a good boy with other people though.

I'm trying my best, you guys. Go fight a cat and pretend to lose. I'm sure it will turn up the sympathy levels.

3. Sad eyes

I look at mommy with sad eyes after I've been naughty. She then hugs me and tells me not to do it again. Practice the sad eyes. It's a valuable trait.

4. Don't yell back

When Fluffy is naughty and mommy says she must stop it, she yells back. Big mistake! Just keep quiet. You're making it obvious you're naughty and can't be trusted with anything.

5. Stop whatever you're doing

When we're caught and Fluffy continues on her rampage, I slowly distance myself from the situation. That way it looks like she did it all by herself.

If you don't have a sibling to put the blame on, just stop whatever you're doing and remove yourself from the room.

I normally bend my head down and go lie a distance away while Fluffy is running in circles around mommy with something in her mouth.

She perfected the art of not being caught by running fast in circles. I'm more of a be quiet and stay calm type of doggie.

Hope that helps you guys. The humans don't always understand our need to rip things apart.

I don't do it often, it's just when Fluffy finds something to tug on I can't help myself. She forces me to play tug with her and a doggie can't resist.

These blame dodging ways can work for humans too. Mommy Renza always looks innocent and gets away with anything. I learned from the best. Now I'm using it on her.

Time to go now. I see Fluffy eating a shoe again. Whose shoe? I don't know. I think I'll go sleep rather. I don't want to be associated with that crime.

Woof! Woof!

Fluffy The Puppy's 10 Dog Rules For Humans

Ruff-ruff!! Hello humans! Since my last post 10 steps to world domination, I've been thinking about what's next after you all become my loyal followers.

As your future world leader or like I prefer to be called Queen Fluffy, I wanted to set some dog rules for humans and lay down the law.

Every leader needs rules or else the followers will be like wandering sheep. There won't be too many changes.

Note if you are caught not following my rules, there will be consequences. You'll be taken to a special island and we'll mind-wipe you and upload what's necessary for you to be more compliant.

The pets and other animals will let me know if and when you step out of line.

Fluffy The Puppy's 10 Dog Rules For The Humans

1. Work hours

Your work day will only be 7 hours long. Over that then you're disobeying me. No working on Sundays and special public holidays.

You get one other day off in the week. That means you have a 5 day work week. I could make it less, but then nothing will get done.

2. Fluffy tune-up

Each day around 5 pm you will tune into the Fluffy channel where I will give you a tune-up. The mind control needs to be updated now and again.

Followers tuning into Fluffy channel

3. Play with your pets

At least an hour a day will be spent playing with your pets. Another 30 minutes to an hour for training if your pet does not know the basic obedience commands. No excuses!

Kids will have an extra subject Pets 101 in school where they will learn to train and take care of pets. It starts at a young age. I see some adults need training too.

4. Eat with your pets

The pets eat with you. If they don't, I'll know. Not that dried junk mommy always feeds me. Yummy food or else.

5. Illegal to breed

Breeding pets will be illegal. You'll need permission from me and I'll only authorize it if there's a pet shortage.

6. Everyone must have a pet

Every household is required to have at least one pet. More than one is better if you have the patience.

I understand some personalities prefer cats over dogs and vise versa. You choose. Pets in shelters will automatically be matched to a human to take care of them.

My human will write the software application that matches a pet to a suitable human. Her programming skills are a bit rusty, but that's nothing a little bit of yelling at her won't fix.



The pet will be delivered to your doorstep and both of you will be escorted to Fluffy island immediately for training and bonding exercises. The excuse of "I have a busy lifestyle" will no longer be applicable because of shorter work hours.

If you are allergic to pets we'll test you for allergies on different breeds. Don't worry! We'll find you a hairless pet if we must.

7. No killing pets

Killing or hurting a pet is illegal and you will be labeled a murderer. The three-headed monster will deal with you. They are in charge of 'special clean-up'.

There's a black one that looks like a hell-hound. There will be no mind-wipe for you sorry. Mr. Hell-hound is waiting for you.

8. Clean up

I like a clean world. Those humans who don't have jobs will help with clean-up. Those who litter and pollute will be sent for mind-wiping and reprogramming.

9. End war

All wars and crime will end immediately. You know the drill! Try anything and the animals will deal with you.

Know when I say animals, I mean all the animals. I'm sure we can get the birds, insects and everyone in the oceans to join forces and team up. Go ahead! Be scared! Grrr...

10. Be happy

I'll make sure everyone is happy. If you're not, to Fluffy island you go.

There it is! All you have to do is follow my rules and there won't be any trouble. See, I just want to make this world better.

A doggie sees all the evil and wants to eliminate it. We are bringers of joy. So get on board humans!

Ruff-ruff!!!

The Thrill Of The Chase - A Dog's Perspective

Woof!! Hello you guys! I have always loved the thrill of the chase. Whether it's a ball, ropey or even Fluffy.

There's just something primal in chasing my prey. Not that Fluffy is prey, but she has interfered with my chasing time though. Grrr!

Mommy Renza has still not figured out how to make us play fetch together. Help you guys!

She takes everything mommy throws to fetch off me. So instead of chasing the ball or ropey, I'm chasing Fluffy. That means I still get my chase on.

Mommy says we're playing too rough. She should just move out of the way! Last time I ran into her at lightning speed and her leg was swollen and sore for a whole week.

Sorry, Renza! But if you're in the way of the chase then you're bound to get hurt.



So why do dogs like chasing things so much? I hear "Fetch!", then I drop everything to go fetch. Whyyyyyy?!!

We are part wolf, so that means we're hunters. But does that really explain why we chase everything that moves or flies through the air? Yes, it does!

Chasing increases our happy hormone levels and makes us feel super excited. It's like a drug.

Here's an article dog chasing behavior if you want to know more. Don't go read it now. That's just rude. It's Buffy time now! Save it for later. Grrr!

Some dogs like the chase too much. Addicts! I was one of them I'll admit. I've limited it to inside the yard. I don't go running outside anymore.

Things that are built into our DNA like hunting, chasing, digging etc, needs an outlet. Some doggies are more prone to a certain type of behavior.

Set up controlled environments so that they can get their fix on. Learn to understand why your dog does something first by researching the behavior, training and focusing the behavior on a safer option instead of just yelling at them to stop.

Knowledge is power, you guys.

I used to chew on my blanket and take it out when mommy wanted to play ball with me. But when I got ropey (affiliate link to ropey's sister) I no longer chewed my blanket and took it out during playtime.

Buffy and rope toy

Ropey filled my chewing need during playtime that a ball couldn't and mommy throws it so I still get my chase on. See! We filled a need with a suitable replacement.



Let's hope Fluffy learns some manners soon and stop taking my toys. She's very rude you guys! Renza needs to teach her or soon I will! She won't like my teaching style. Grrr!!

Mommy fills our need for chasing by limiting us to the yard and closing the entrances so that we stay safe in one place.

I'm sure you humans can find a fix for whatever behavior your dog is displaying that's not acceptable.

Time to go now you guys. Fluffy wants to play again. She's like my shadow and I try to run a little faster than her so that she's actually chasing me. The thrill of the chase is already strong in that one.

It's part of my lesson plan, plus a doggie wants to feel what it's like to be chased too. You know, for research purposes!

Fluffy the Puppy's 10 Steps To World Domination

Ruff-ruff!!! Hello humans! I'm glad to report my world domination plan is on track.

Soon you will be chanting my name while bowing down. Be sure to order your comfy knee pillows now already.

Scraped knees from bowing is a bad look.

Every leader needs a plan. Being cuddly and cute just won't cut it. If it did, then you humans would have had replacement kneecaps by now from all the bowing.

So what is holding the cats and dogs back from total world domination?

I worked out a 10 step plan to see if I can succeed.

Fluffy's World Domination plan

1. Target a human, the only dog lover in the house and follow her everywhere. She will soon love me and do anything for me. Check!

2. Once the human Renza loves me, she'll share pics of me all over social media and introduce me as her new cute puppy. Check!

3. Go one step further and mind control my human to write down all my thoughts on her blog and make everyone fall in love with me. Check!

4. Help the human grow my followers...I mean our followers. Let Buffy in on my brilliant plan and convince him to join forces. Check!

Loyal Follower

5. Buffy, who is a fan favorite, writes about how I'll be cloned because he's now in on it. Not just a normal clone, but a cat-dog clone. That means not only dog people are reading our blog, but cat people too. Everyone wants their own Fluffy cat-dog clone. Check!

6. Me telling you all I'm going to be your leader and you're thinking I'm the cutest and smartest leader ever. "Omgawd soooo cuuute", you keep saying. Check!

7. All my followers share me all over social media. Apparently, social media is where everyone lives these days. Check!

This will happen in the future

8. I add subliminal messages to the shares that brainwash the humans. It spreads like a virus. One human sees the message and everyone they come into contact with gets infected.

9. Oops! Too late! You are all under my control now and you will do as I ask.

10. Every human, including the ones running countries get themselves a knee pillow and do some loyal bowing. From far and wide "Fluffy!" is chanted.

Future news

There it is! The perfect plan. As you can see,  more than half of the steps have been completed already. Right now you're probably smiling, laughing or just rolling your eyes because your happy pills are up.



Don't worry eye-rollers, I will win you over soon. My human Renza and Buffy have no interest in the throne. But I'm not them! QUEEN ME PLEASE!!!

RUFF!!! RUFF!!

Fluffy the Puppy Growing Up

Ruff-ruff!! Hello humans! I've been part of this world for about 4 months now. As a puppy growing up it's not too bad.

Fluffy the Puppy Growing Up

I get to play with my bestie Buffy every day and I have Renza mommy that takes care of me. She calls me Fluffy long legs because my legs are super long.

She thinks she's funny! Grrr!

Soon I'll be able to jump on the chairs just like Buffy. I can already jump high, but not as good as Buff yet.

He runs at a speed, then jumps. I've been studying his jumping moves, so soon I'll be joining him on the couch.



Buff is a good teacher and has been teaching me all about dog stuff. There's a lot of skills to learn and shadowing my big brother is the best way to learn fast.

Don't worry! He's been alone for a long time so he enjoys having me there every minute of every single day. Well, he hides sometimes but I'm sure it's because of that annoying Renza.

My teeth are all chipped away from all the chewing. I'm told soon I'll be getting some new teeth. Bigger! Sharper! I can't wait! Then I can do some real damage.

These humans keep leaving their things everywhere. I guess they want me to chew on their stuff. Only mommy keeps her stuff out of reach though.

Otherwise, everyone else's shoes and clothing are given freely to me to chew on. I know right? They're soooo nice.

I'm just as tall as Buffy now. Mommy says it looks like I might get taller and it seems like I'm mixed with a bigger dog with straight hair.

That means Buffy and I might look a little different when I'm fully grown up, but not by much.

Mommy calls me small Buffy. Dur! I'm just as big as him. He just has a lot of hair and weighs more. He's very heavy! When we play he sits on me. He thinks he's funny!

I return the favor by climbing on his back and sticking there like glue to annoy him. He tries to shake me off but fails miserably. Guess he has no idea how glue works.

We have fun playing and chasing each other around in the yard and through the house sometimes. We almost ran mommy over that one time.

Well, who told her to stand in our way! Just imagine how she would fly through the air. We are super fast and can do serious damage to an in the way person. Get out of our way human!



I think I'm getting too big for my bed. Renza human should get me a new one asap. I've already started chewing and tearing it up.

I've taken out the insides too, just like we did with Buffy's bed. I had to fight with the human because she refused to let me eat it.

A puppy can't even taste things around here without being chased around. But luckily I'm hard to catch and just run in circles around the human.

She moves at a snail's pace. Are all humans this slow or is it just this one?

Everyone that comes here keeps saying I'm soooo big now. I dance for them and lick them to make sure they feel welcome. Buffy does not like greeting people.

He just warns everyone there are visitors and barks at them. He's an introvert like Renza mommy. They don't like to have people around them. Luckily I'm here to balance out their weirdness.

Time to go now humans. I see someone left me a shoe to chew on. Why can't mommy do nice things like that?

I had to fight her for just one slipper. Well, she did leave me a toilet roll this morning to make pretty snow with. Guess that counts!

Ruff!! Ruff!!

Fluffy the Puppy's Visit to The Vet

Ruff-ruff!! Hello humans! I decided to take some time out of my busy puppy schedule to write something on the blog.

I had a traumatic week and wanted to share stuff. Puppies have issues too you know.

Puppy's Visit to The Vet

I was forced to visit the Vet again on Tuesday. I think Vet is short for a very evil trap.

I knew something wasn't right. There was way too much grooming going on.

Renza human bathed and brushed me. I messed up my hair again and took a roll in the sand afterward.

I ignored all the signs. Never again! Grrr!



Renza human says the first three months are done now. My next visit is only next year. Let's hope so and she's not lying to me.

There were so many dogs and cats at the Vet. You could hear a pin drop. Everyone was so quiet. What's up with that? Bet they all know what's waiting for them behind those creepy white doors.

One big dog, in particular, came out of the creepy white door room and they had to pull him across the floor because he decided not to walk anymore.

It was funny until I started to wonder what actually happened behind those doors that made him forget how to walk...

At Vet looking at a drooling dog

I started to panic but calmed down again. There were a few droolers that made the floor wet.

They were all really scared. "Clean-up please!", I yelled. Ruff! I guess they don't respond like mommy when I tell her to come clean up my messes.

I sat quietly on mommy's lap. Did I just call her mommy?! What did this human do to me? She's so goofy and kinda grew on me like a fungus.



Her mommy also went with to make sure I'm calm. I like her mommy sooo much. I even allow her to pick me up and I lick her face.

I do my little greet dance every time I see her. Then she goes all screamy from excitement. Guess the craziness runs in the family.

When it was my turn after waiting forever, the needle man did unspeakable things to me. He said my temperature is normal. Find another way to measure temperature Dr. Stabby!

Mommy calmed me down, but it lasted only a minute. Next was the big needle of pain.

Needleman injected me with it not once, but twice. Well, he had to hold me while another Needleman stabbed me because I started to panic.

Yep! He duplicated himself. I then made a little accident on him. Oooh, he looked mad. That will teach him! Grrr!!

Anyway, I got my worm tablet afterward that mommy mixed with my food and I'm all done now. It was a very traumatic day for me.

Plus mommy Renza was driving and she's a new driver. "There's a hole in the road!", I yell. Ruff! She just drives over it. Geez!

I chewed a little of her car at the back the other day. I could see the steam coming out of her ears. I need more chew toys human! Hope she gets the message now.

Time to go now. I'm off to play with some cap I found. Who's cap is it? No one knows. Guess it's mine now. Buffy wants to wrestle me for it but I don't like letting go of things.

The human is training me to 'let go', but I just do it for treats. Keep the treats coming human!! Keep them coming!

Ruff-Ruff!!!

Puppy Biting and Destroying Things

Ruff-ruff! Hello humans! I'm back! I was forced to write something for the blog because Renza human had to come up with some new topics.

Fluffy the Puppy's Destruction

Btw this is not a blog post about surviving puppy biting and all the things that will be destroyed in your house. I like destruction and chaos so why fix it.

Renza human is trying to teach me not to bite people by making some weird crying noises and giving me something else to chew on besides human flesh.

Is it working you ask? Well, I prefer the flesh sooooo...

I love destroying everything in my path. Who told them to leave their things where I can reach?



Buffy and I destroyed his dog bed the other day. The insides were all over the place.

Renza had to sew it together again and it took her half a day. I even helped her pull out the thread while she was busy.

I'm a very good helper, I know. Now we can play with the patched-up bed again. Yay!

Buffy pulls me around on it and after that, we tear it apart again. I know you're probably wondering what about my bed. Well, it's for sleeping, not playing. Silly, silly humans.

I have puppy teeth and I need to bite things, so don't blame me. I love collecting rocks to chew on, but I need to hide them away in my bed underneath my blanket otherwise Renza human confiscates my rock collection.

I destroy their newspapers and make sure the roll of toilet paper that's always close by for some reason, gets ripped apart. It looks like snow. All white and snow like. Really pretty.

Unfortunately, my human cleans it up after mumbling some words that I don't understand. Then she says Buffy must play with me to keep me busy.

Almost like he has a choice. I think he likes it when I pull his hair. Don't worry he won't miss a few.

Playing with Buffy

I like chewing their shoes. I take Renza's slippers off her feet then run away and hide where she can't get me.



She's really slow and I'm just as fast as Buffy. There's a lot of shouting, but it just fuels me on. It's fun to see how she screams.

I think she's a little nuts. She keeps saying I'm naughty. I thought my name was Fluffy. I think my human is a bit confused. Crazy and confused! Not a good combination.

She takes good care of me and gives me nice food and treats. She also cleans up my potty messes. I let her know I messed by making some funny noises.

Like ringing a bell for a servant. My servant comes and cleans up. Oh, that's after she says some weird sounding words.

Time to go now humans. I see something that's still in one piece. Let me go fix that!

Ruff-ruff!!!

How To Protect Your Human - Buffy's Dog Tips

Woof! Hello guys! I'm back. Mommy's eyes are finally better. I was really scared you guys. She looked really creepy with those red eyes.

I don't like when bad things happen to her. She's not just my food supplier, she's also my best friend and I feel the need to protect my Renza.

All doggies were bred to be natural protectors. It's in our DNA.

The humans feed us, give us shelter, plays with us and love us. So it's natural that you would want to protect your human.

Not everything that comes close to your human is dangerous. Please don't go all crazy and jump and attack everything that moves.

Dogs protecting humans

1. If someone approaches your human with a really loud voice, let them know it's unacceptable by stepping in-between them and your human. Growl a little so that they can back off and keep quiet.

2. If the person touches your human and they yell out "Ouch!". This is the perfect time to use your sharp teeth. They're not just made to chew food and rip apart toys.

Go ahead and bite them. Who told them to lay their filthy hands on your human. You have my permission. Grrrr!

3. When new visitors come to your house, smell them first. If they smell 'wrong'...Attack! If they smell friendly then you can leave them alone. Maybe they have treats or a toy.

4. Warn your human by barking a special bark when there are visitors at the gate or door. My warning bark sounds like a howl. You guys know how to howl, right? We are part wolf after all. Arhoooooooooooooof!!

Sleeping on the job. I'm guilty of this too.

5. Stay close to your human. Lie in front of them with your back towards them or just sit or stand close.

You never know what can happen with a world filled with crazy people. Be alert and look out for 'wrong' humans and other things.

6. Don't fall for the "Here's a treat" from a stranger. They don't know you or what kind of snacks you like.

What gives them the right to hand out treats anyway? If you really want the treat, look at your human first for approval.

7. When you go outside for walkies make sure you're always at your human's side. It's tempting to smell random things and chase dogs or other humans that are walking too close.

Don't do it! If they don't look at you or come close to pet you then don't engage. Just ignore them.

8. If another doggy eye your human and look at them the way you look at food, let the doggy know that your human is under your protection. Growl if they think you're not serious. Grrrr!

Example of extreme guarding

I hope this was helpful you guys. Our humans are important to our survival so we need to make sure nothing happens to them.



I love my Renza but she's a bit of a weakling. Can't fight to save her life. You may think she can scream because she's a girl. Nope! That's not an option either. Weak voice too.

Luckily she has me and of course Fluffy to protect her. Don't be fooled by our cuteness. Big mistake! Fluffy has shown us she's quite vicious and will be a good protector. Already barking at strangers.

She barks when she destroys things too but that's a story for another day. Her needle-sharp teeth will come in handy if we need to take on some creepy person. She's an attack first ask questions later type. Grrrr!!

I have a very smart little sister, but there's something a little off about her. I can't put my paw on it. She has found a way onto the couch even though she's too small to reach.

She also knows how to get out of things, like through partition gates. It looks like she's good at problem-solving.

Don't worry you guys. Renza figured out how she does it and closed all the Fluffy exit points that were apparently not obvious to us.

Mommy had to pretend to hide so that she can catch Fluffy in the act because she waits until no one is watching. Vicious and sneaky. Not a good combination. We're okay for now until she finds other ways.

Anyway, time to go you guys. I'll leave you to go and protect your human. Renza promised me a big bowl of puppy food. Don't judge! It's better than that junk they always feed me.

Woof! Woooooof!

Living With My New House Mate, Fluffy the Puppy

It’s an intruder! Nope! It’s my new housemate Fluffy. Grrr!!

Woof! Hello humans! I bet you all want to know how things are going with me and Fluffy the new puppy.

Why is she even here? Does mommy really need another doggie? She is super annoying you guys. Grrr!!

She keeps chasing me around and I caught her in my kennel multiple times. She tries to eat my food that she can’t even chew properly and then to top it off she thinks my doggy bed is hers.

She keeps laying on it. Who does that? I swear it’s like she’s a copycat.

That would explain why she’s so flexible. I think she’s trying to take over.



It’s my territory and my mommy Renza. Oh and I see how she bites mommy. She bites everyone!

We're allowed to hang out sometimes so that we can bond. We are separated for now. I do the sniffing thing, but she only smells like trouble. I wonder how I can sell a puppy.

Will they even notice she’s gone? I licked her head the other day for the first time and she tasted like trouble too. I wrote a little ad for selling a puppy. Let me know if it sounds right.

Naughty Puppy For Sale!

Woof! I’m looking for someone that wants to buy a puppy. She’s a poodle mixed with Maltese or some other breed. I’m not sure. She’s 7 weeks old and sleeps a lot. She won’t bother you that much I promise. Only when she's awake. Be careful not to leave your feet exposed, because she eats feet. She’s cute so that might make up for her evil nature.

Call 0800 HELP ME

I’ll give her to the first caller.

How does that sound, you guys?

Fluffy attacking me!

There’s a chance mommy might notice she’s gone. I think she brainwashed her already. I don’t want to make Renza sad, so I’ll give the evil puppy another chance.

I'll be on the lookout for any bad behavior and report back to you guys. After one month if she has not changed her evil ways, then I'm posting the ad.

Woooof! Woof!

Update on Fluffy the puppy!!

So Fluffy and I are besties now you guys. Don't ask me how that happened. I think she brainwashed me too. I stopped running away from her and then realized she just wants to play.

Nap Time

Now I have two besties! Renza and Fluffy. Mommy Renza is happy she can leave us alone to play without worrying that Fluffy will attack me.

We play for hours and hours and I share everything with her except my food. Food is off limits! Grrr!!!

How to Change Negative Core Beliefs

"I'm a failure", "I'm not good enough", "I'm all alone" and "No one will ever love me". Sounds familiar?

I bet we all believed at least one of those things about ourselves at some point in our lives. They are all negative core belief examples.

On my self-discovery journey, I researched solutions on how to change a negative core belief or thoughts.

How to Stop Being Miserable All The Time

The day I decided I wanted to be happy was the beginning of endless possibilities. Yes, I made a choice!

I chose happiness even though I had no idea how to stop being miserable all the time. By choosing happiness I started to fight to feel better and I stopped being depressed.

This is my story of how I overcame depression and anxiety without medication or therapy.  I'm grateful that I get to share my story with you and I hope that it will help anyone needing a little motivation to not give up. We all deserve to be happy.
