On Tuesday, March 4, 2008, we were not living in the Sunshine State, as we learned that my long time Westie Pal, Booker C. McDuff, went to the Rainbow Bridge.  I felt like I was living in the Darkness State.  Before we moved to Florida my Dad took me to see Auntie Sue and my pal Booker before we took our big road trip south with Grammy and Grampy.  Rest my sweet pal, as I know that we shall all see you soon.

In the state of Minneosta I was known as the “Bouncer of all the Westies”.  They needed a big dog to keep them in line at all of our canine functions.  Please email my Aunt Sue at lilwhiteterriers@hotmail.com to find out about all of the great work she does with Westie Rescue in the state of Minnesota and surrounding area.

Well, I knew my Aunt Sue could not last long without another puppy in her house – Can you blame her? Us canines love our humans.  I am pleased to meet Wee Quinn Campbell, virtually at least.  Auntie Sue calls him Quinn, for short.  He is originally from Iowa, ,but now a resident of Eden Prairie, MN.  I know that he is still a puppy, but boy is he cute.

OK – My Dad wants to rant here for a minute.

It always seems that as the AI season winds down, each show has a lot of filler to complete 1.5 to 2 hours.  Well, last night they decided to have each of the top five contestants sing two songs and jam pack it all into just a 1-hour show.  The three judges were supposed to only give their feedback after each contestant sang their two songs (ie: at the end of the show).  Well, since Ryan Seacrest talked so damn fast, they changed things on the fly and decided to have the three judges give a critique at the half-way point of the show.  This totally threw Paula for a loop, as she sounded like a total idiot – more so than any other night.  Isn’t LIVE television GREAT ???

Each contestant should have only sun one song, with the usual critique at the end of each contestant’s performance.

Apparently whatever drug-concoction Paula is taking does not like surprises.

Here is to a speedy demise for Jason Castro and Brooke White.  Both of these two should have been eliminated several weeks ago!!!!!

Now onto more important things – The life of a Mischievous Weimaraner !!!

Micki and Ruben came to visit us all the way from Minnesota this past weekend.  My Dad used to work with Micki at Boyum & Barenscheer PLLP.  They took their usual after Tax Season vacation to Orlando, and decided to drive down to spend the weekend with us.  Ruben helped my Dad fix the outside speakers.  My Dad recently bought a Satellite Radio (he especially likes the 70’s Channel).  The house has speakers out on the patio, but he was unable to get them to work.  Ruben saved the day.  Now, when we have the radio on, we can enjoy the music inside and outside.  

We enjoyed lots of good conversation and lots of laughs out on our patio.  On Saturday afternoon they took Micki and Ruben down to the Port of Miami to look at all of the ships and to have dinner in South Beach.

Welcome to my new Web Blog.  My dad and I promise to keep you all updated with my life.

Since moving to Southern Florida I have magically escaped from my crate a couple of times and greeted my humans at the front door.  Before moving to Southern Florida I sort-a kinda ate a wall in the house back in Apple Valley (see picture).

So, my dad has installed a web Cam aimed right on my crate.  He calls it the FRED CAM.  He told me that he is very interested in what I do all day long.  Feel free to watch me on the FRED CAM.  You can access it here.  Make sure to check out the calendar so that you know when I am on-line.  Mostly, the Fred Cam is on-line Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM (or by 8:30 the latest) till approximately 6:30 PM.

Talk to you all soon,
Fred
