Steamboat Springs — Profile: Woof, I'm Bowser, a bearded collie. My owner spends so much time on social networking sites that I decided to give it a try, too. I guess the first thing I need to do is post some information about myself and try to make friends. Maybe one of my dogmates from, "Sit Means Sit!" will track me down. This is weird because typing is hard for dogs, and there's no sniffing of private parts on a computer, which is how we usually greet one another.

I'm going to start posting and see what happens.

Bowser: I got three dog treats today!!

Bowser: OMG. I just got a friend request from a cat!

Cappy: I live with two cats. They're okay until they stalk hummingbirds.

Pugsley: Ignore the request. Tell them to go on MeowSpace.

Cappy: I pooped in my neighbor's yard, and he didn't see me. ROFL!

Sport: It's garbage day!

Cappy: Can't wait!

Doodles: Ours was yesterday, and I got half a burrito from Azteca. ... score!

Shep: Is your garbage man nice? Ours is sooo mean.

Sport: Get out early. The early dog, not the bird, gets the best leftovers.

Trixie: Yeah! You have to get out there before those nasty magpies.

Bowser and Lilly-Belle are now friends.

Pugsly: I have to an appointment at the dog groomers tomorrow. Hate it!

Sasha: They pull my fur!

Doodles: I hate baths!

Frankie: I love my groomer!

Bowser: What's the latest on the kennel cough going around?

Cappy: Dunno. My owners are worried about swine flu!

Lenny: It's highly contagious, so be careful!

Pugsley: I heard they give you cough suppressants. ... yuck!

Bowser: All the kids are back to school.

Cappy: I'm lonely!

Pugsley: Nothing to do but watch "Animal Planet" reruns all day.

Bowser just took the quiz, "What is your favorite song?" Result: You Ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog"

Bowser: Just back from a run.

Pugsley: Where did you go? I hear Spring Creek is great right now. No community service officers!

Cappy: Yeah, stay away from the bike path unless you want your owner to get a ticket!

Sport: Me too! I rolled in something really stinky J.

Bowser just took the quiz, "Which of the 7 dwarves are you?"

Result: Sleepy. I slept 20 hours today.

Cappy: Loser. I got 23.5.

Bowser: I'm in the dog house, again.

Cappy: Me, too. I chewed up my owner's brand new running shoes. But after she finished the triathlon, they smelled sooooo good.

Bowser: My owner put me on the Atkins diet

Cappy: My owner has me on raw food.

Lilly-Belle: Kibble rules.

Spike: Kibble, kibble, kibble!

Shep: I'm on BARF - bones and raw food. ... LOL

Sasha: Diet is a four-letter word. Grrrrr.
