Ask Jake!

Hello all, it is time for Ask Jake.  Sorry it is late today, my secretary (Mom) wanted to work on her dissertation.

So this week's question comes from Jenny, who asks, What is your favorite thing to do that your mommy doesn't like?

Well Jenny, my mommy likes everything I do.  Well, there are 3 things I do that mommy doesn't like.  
1.  I eat things I'm not supposed to like cat poo and deer poo.
2.  I lick my mommy's birkenstocks.  They are quite tasty.  Mommy's worried I'll start snacking on them.
3.  I lay right behind mommy when she is in the rolly chair.  It upsets her when she rolls over my paw or ear.  It's good for extra cookies.


Thanks for all your questions and comments!  Thanks for supporting me so I can have ear surgery soon!
Until Next Week

Ask Jake!

Jake would like to apologize for his lateness in answering this week's questions.  His secretary was occupied with such mundane things as homework and work.  Really, she doesn't have her priorities in order at all.

This week's question comes from Father Leo (who is totally awesome and serving his country as an Air Force chaplain!)  Father Leo asks, What are dogs dreaming about when they are running in their sleep?

Chasing the enemy of course!  Or hunting.  I dream about catching that cat Moonshine..she's mean and bops me on the head.  I dream about catching a plump bunny cause I'm fast in my sleep and the bunnies are slow.   I can only dream about it, as if I caught one mommy would cry.  I dream about cookies too and playing in the park with mommy.  

Moonshine and Jake

Moonshine is about to swipe Jake on the nose.

Thanks for asking questions.  Don't forget to leave your questions in the comment box.  


Until next week,

PS.  Jake wants to add a tail wag to all those doggies who have bravely served our country and their handlers! Thank you!

Ask Jake - Travel Edition

Hi All,
Sorry for the late post, I'm busy driving my mommy bonkers.

Reader David from CUA asks,
If you could travel, where would you go?

Well David, 
That is a very interesting question.  There are so many places I could possible go.
There's the beach: 

Sun and Fun

Warming my belly in the bright sun.

There's the woods:

There's Italy:

There's Australia (maybe not...they have doggie jail)

I hear Malta is great!

I could go to college:

But you know, it doesn't really matter where I go, as long as I'm with my mommy.  As long as we are together, it will be an awesome trip, unless it ends at the vet teaching hospital....

Remember, if you have a question, drop it in the comments and I'll be happy to answer!

Until next time

Ask Jake- The Sammy Edition!

Hi loyal readers!!!
My mommy's goddaughter Sammy has questions for her to answer and since she is cute, adorable and her hands are right at my nose level....her questions have priority!

Sammy asks:
Can Jake tell the difference between Savannah, my twin and me?

Yes!  You smell different and that's how I can tell you two apart.  One of you smells like cookies and one smells like candy.  I can't tell you who smells like what, because it is top secret.  Besides, isn't it funny to watch Mommy, your TT, play "Guess Who I Am?"


Did you have a good time on Saturday?
Sammy, I had a great time at the expo and the park with you.  I can't wait to go to the park with you again.  Next time, drop er share your fries.  I like fries.  And chicken nuggets.


Until Next Week,

PSSST:  Be sure to buy cookies on sale.  I'm 1/3 of the way to the surgery monies!!! 

Ask Jake!

Hi again!
It is time for another installment of Ask Jake.  Today's question is comes again from Reader Mike!  Mike asks "If you could be any famous person, living or dead, who would you choose? Why?"  


Wow Mike! What a question!  Well I was thinking some one really cool and totally awesome, but Mommy reminded me if I go too far back, they are likely to treat me like a dog and I'm so much better than that.  Mommy said they might actually make me work for my food and sleep in a kennel.  That is so not cool.  Then I was like I could meet a Pope, that would be pretty cool.  I found out that Pope Pius II had a puppy. But the puppy fell in a fountain, fell down a well and then fell out the window.  Uhh...maybe not.  I could meet a famous scientist and Mommy for some reason suggested Pavlov.  Then she started laughing.  Then she mentioned Skinner... Mommy's nuts.  Hmmm.  I was like I could meet a saint.  St. Francis likes animals.  Or what about St. Dominic?  He's like God's Dog (for more info Mommy says go visit Godzdogz).  I wonder if God has a dog....I'd like to meet that doggie.


After much deliberation, I've decided I'd like to meet  Rowlf.  He seems really cool in his movies and on the Muppet Show.  

He'd be totally awesome to meet. 

Until next week!

It's Time For Ask Jake!!

Woofs to my loyal fans!
It's time for another installment of Ask Jake!

Reader Mike asks "Who do I favor in the World Series?"
Well Mike, 
I'm a loyal Cardinals fan.  Unfortunately, they aren't in the World Series this year.  I'm very sad.  Distraught.  Hmm I like to play with socks sometimes.  Is there any Sox teams in the running?  Oh and mommy needs to buy me a Blues bandana.  Does anyone know where she can get one for me???


Reader Mark has emailed me with quite a few questions.  He seems kinda nosy :)  His first question is "What time do I get up in the morning?"
Well, that all depends on my mommy.  As soon as mommy stirs I'm up.  She's gotta walk me first thing you know.  Mommy's parents get up at 7 am...and if I hear them I try and score a cookie out of them.  When mommy first adopted me, I got up at 5 am.  Mommy was so not cool with that, let me tell you.  Usually I get up around 9 am.  Sometimes 10 am.  I don't like it when mommy sleeps so late, because it makes brekkie so much later.


Reader Mark has also asked where I like to sleep.
Mark, I like to sleep in the comfiest spots but it all depends on my mommy.  If my mommy is in the kitchen, I like to sleep on the blanket Mommy has thoughtfully put in front of the tv for me.  If mommy is on the computer, I like to sleep right next to her and move my bed that mommy has thoughtfully gotten for me to be right next to her.  This traps mommy because she's in some rolly chair and she's afraid she's going to roll over an ear or a tail.  When mommy is in the shower, I sleep in my dog bed in the living room.  When mommy is at work, I sleep in the recliner right by the door.  I still haven't figured out she comes in the other door.  At nap time and early in the morning, I sleep in mommy's bed under the covers.  Gotta keep mommy safe!


Thanks for all your questions.  If you'd like me to answer your questions, leave them in the comment box and Mommy will ask me.

Ask Jake

Jake has informed me he'd like to do a weekly column answering your questions. On Tuesdays, Jake's Takes will feature a question or two from his loyal readers and answer them.

This week's from question comes from fan Lavona, who asks Jake what his favorite memory is?

Hi Lavona!

My favorite memory is the day Mommy came all the way to Kansas City to a doggie expo to get me. I was so worried because Mommy got lost and was late. Mommy wasn't sure she was ready for another basset hound, but Eleanor thought I'd be good for her. Mommy came and saw me under the table. We walked around the doggie expo. Mommy seemed to think I'd do. We spent the night at Otis' house and I snuggled with Mommy. Then we went for a really really long ride until we got to Mommy's apartment and my new home.

Here's a picture from my adoption day.

Bonus Question!

Reader David asks me who my Confirmation Saint is?

Well David, dogs can't get confirmed. Although I think I could use the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. But I digress. If I was going to get Confirmed, I'd pick St. Roch as a Confirmation Saint, as he's the patron saint of dogs. Although Pope Saint Cornelius and St. Polycarp are possibilities, as they are the patron saints against earaches, and I get alot of those.

Woofs & Wags,

Jake
