Woof! Princess here -

45 more hours to go!  Can you believe it’s flown by so quickly?

This is what we call “Crunch time” – Let’s do me a favor – a small one – a very small one if we could.  Take a few minutes to text or call (at least) 5 people who you know that probably doesn’t know about this – say (here’s a sample script)

“Hey ________, I needed you help/a favor, a dear a friend of mine, Leah Rose is participating in an awesome event & has been chained to a dog house in Downtown OKC, since this past Saturday!  She’s hung in there thus far, hasn’t spoken to anyone she’s not supposed to & is asking for me help.  The thing is they’re raising awareness for dog chaining & the OK humane society, Also Leah’s trying to win a new car!  Voting counts here so if you could log on to www.mylifeasadogchallenge.org – click on “Princess” check out her blog & pics, most importantly click on “VOTE” – tell whoever you can, this is really important to me since Leah is a good friend.”

Nice script, huh?  I know you guys know what to say to people that was just an example – mainly for my brother Elliot – you better call 10 people You know how much your big sister needs a new car!

But for real thank you for everyone who’s been voting & keeping up!

I’m thankful that my head has a built in Ipod – I’ve been “listening” to music in my head today.  I’ve felt very peaceful since my blog this morning.

Hopefully the rain is done – OH – M & M2 – feel free to call Mr Bills & have them give you those tickets for Friday – see if they will – give them some flyers too.

E, M & N, M2 – thanks again for coming down & being my posse.  Let’s get a video camera for Saturday night – I have a feeling it’s going to be a night to remember.

Gentle Care – thanks for the supp0rt & watching my puppies – Can someone bring Skeletor AKA Churizo (Right E?)  down here Sat at noon for the finale? had I known it was going to be a finale I’d have brought my tap shoes!

I love you all so much – today is a much better day than yesterday – keep voting, keep reading, start/keep visiting!!

Back to my request in the beginning – I’m figuring that I have maybe 100 votes/day if half of those people get over 2 people to vote the next 3 days that increases the votes to 200 more/day – it’s a numbers game.

Things I can’t wait for:

1) A shower!!!!!!

2) HUGS!!!

3) Puppy kisses & snuggles!!!

4) Getting a new car (maybe )

5) Sleeping in a big cozy bed!!

6) Beatles Rockband!

That’s in accurate order: I can’t wait to wash my hair & put make up on – I just might wear a prom dress Saturday since I can!

2 minute warning: Hopefully dinner will be yummy – I’m all set on items so let’s just vote.  I’ll leave you w/ a funny story – so I get the new undies y’all bought for me & put them on, they’re “granny panties” – I laughed pretty hard I thought I bought “bikini briefs” oh well – put a smile on my face; hopefully yours too.

Love y’all – Princess

Just want to inform the rest of the outside world how thoughtful and kind and sweet and amazing Pocahontas is, she plays dirty. Any of of us I feel confident wouldn’t do that or allow one of our visitors to show that kind of disrespect, even though this is a contest. All of our supporters come down and cheer everyone on, hers come and tell people to leave, that we have no hope of winning.

All I know is that….It’s on. Game on Pochontas. Let’s do this – I was thinking if/when I win, I’ll get an awesome system in it (even though they are not my thing) and bump it all around the Paseo at say 2:30am. No I wouldn’t do that, why? you ask – because I just don’t play dirty!! It’s not in my moral fiber to do malicious things to people – it hurts me to be mean and I don’t like to hurt so I don’t like to be mean!

Enough of this story – Time for thanks – Thank you Patti! So good to see you: R- she said you’d be coming by Friday and can’t wait!! E, M, N, M(2) – so good seeing y’all it boosted my spirits, i’m sure you saw me tear up…I’m a sob story sometime. Dr. Chris thanks for coming everyday – Hoping someone will send the Tate Taylor my way still – I’ve never felt so dirty, ugly,  and isolated in my life. And I’m in the middle of Bricktown!!! Oh Well Saturday is almost here – 50 hours and 40 minutes away - 

I’m out!! only 2 more days to see me speechless!!!!! 

P.s. Someone call Companion Animal Hospital and get Lindsay Anderson down there!!

Love Ya’ll

Princess Ginger Love (aka Leah)

Woof! Princess here!

Wednesday at 3 pm – Closer to being finished than we were yesterday.  Today has been the hardest on me so far – I’ve been more sad than usual – being stuck in my head sucks.  I’ve been talking to god a lot – makes me feel not so alone – but seeing all these dogs that people have been bringing makes me realize how much I depend on my own dogs for my happiness.  Since I’ve been a tad down I’m starting to get the “worries” – like what if I spend all week out here and don’t win?  I hate to make it about winning or losing but c’mon if a car weren’t sitting here in front of us – who’d still be here?  I think the people here mainly for the cause – me & Felony; Aum too just so she can do “all yoga all the time” It’s the Aum show here – I think she needs to get up front & have a class & we’ll all do it – picture Bear in “downward dog” – hysterical.  The thought of it makes me smile.

Send more people to me.  Get more VOTES – MOM – Call Mr. Cesa and follow up with my email – all your CMA & little angels & zumba people – I know it’s getting tiresome but it’s not over til the fat lady sings – in the words of Ricky Bobby “if you ain’t first, you’re last” Let’s not have me be last.

I need a smile. Please keep visiting – it means the world to me – time doesn’t even exist here – someone could come visit & leave & not even 5 minutes later it like…where’d they go? And it feels like it’s been hours and not minutes.

Thank God for Spaghetti Warehouse – I needed some greens in my diet.  They gave us salad and spag & meatballs – the meatballs were good – not as good as my Moms.

To my “people” those who have been here and not – it feels like ages since I’ve seen you!!  E=MC, M+N, E, M2 it’s been ages.  I can’t wait til Saturday – it’s going to be classic – I can promise you that – Beatles Rockband?! Amazing.  Hope you come down tonight – Man I sound pathetic!!!  I guess that’s the point really – all my pathetic-ness aside, I need to feel more of the love.  Someone tell Tate Taylor I need him to show me his pretty face.

Dr. Chris you’ve been magical – I appreciate you so much Love you!! Oh with Fiona: the key to Fiona is to ignore her and love the other dogs. She’ll get jealous & love you too.

Crystal, Marlo, Tamra, Erin – hope my babies at home are doing well – come by & give me a big double thumbs up if they are!

Someone call DFG (Deep Fork) & tell Wade Starr to get down here & see me!  3 more minutes – last minute thoughts – Jennifer & Austin thank you for coming yesterday – sorry I forgot, I love you each – whoever is reading this – keep spreading the word getting more votes for Princess – I’ll drive you all around wherever you want. 

Princess Ginger XOXO

WOOF Princess here

Day 5, well at noon we’ll have completed 4 days-

so we’re working on our 5th day.  Please excuse

this if it’s more jumbled than usual, I just got woken

up from a very deep sleep.

     Guess what?  It’s raining AGAIN!!!

Yah! I had lots to talk about when I was 

awake but like I said I’m struggling to write

a complete sentence.  Ryan & Luke came down

last night – that was spectacular – I think

you should grab everyone & bring them

down here!!  Also, Jenny, Laura, Bryan, Celeste etc.

from ITA, Wonder why I haven’t been graced

with your presence.  I know just b/c I’m chained

to a dog house doesn’t mean everyone else

doesn’t have lives.  It just really is lonely

out here – Marlo & Jeremy came by that

was nice.  I know it’s awkward not saying

anything but it’s just nice knowing you love &

care about me.  I’ve got practically everything 

I need – thank you to everyone who

pitched in & got me stuff – 3 more days -

there’s still 7 of us – one guy “Walker”, walked -

he kept talking about how his wafe was

making him do this – Seems like one of those

things where you have to be in it for the right

reasons – not b/c someone is making you do it.

I don’t know if we’ll all be here at the end

though – no worries, I’ll be here at noon on Saturday.

I’m telling you, I had some stuff to talk

about!! My brain is still sleeping.

     I’m having CRAZY dreams – one I woke

up &  wasn’t sure if I was allowed to talk

or not, had to remember where I was &

remember no I can’t talk.

     I showed my behind to Channel 9 

this morning – I bent over in the middle of the interview to show

them my house & didn’t even think about

the camera – after that interview I crawled

back in my house w/ my tail between my legs.

     I think this week will prefect my

ability to awkwardly exist while others

talk – to be a wall flower – I dreamt about

washing my hair haha.  Wishful thinking

I suppose.

     I can’t wait to hug everyone Saturday,

after my shower don’t worry)  I amost

want to get a hotel room w/ a big snuggly

bed & just snuggle in bed all night &

get some actual sleep.

     I’ve been awake a lot more the past 2

days – I have a feeling most of today will be

spent in REM sleep.

We ate Chelinos yesterday – for lunch & dinner

Mexican doesn’t work well when it’s all you

eat in a day.

     Oh! Coyote Ugly is a destination after

this – it sounds like on so much fun - 

     One minute left -

     Thank you for reading — keep voting –

Keep reading – keep voting

     Love,

     Princess Ginger XOXO

Woof! Princess here

Current time 3pm on Tuesday Sept. 15th? I’m basking in the sun w/my sunglasses, Pink tshirt, black terrycloth pants, orange hawaiian lei – in my sleeping bag, body pillow, Hoodie, yoga mat; got my juiceboxes, twizzlers, 3 pairs of socks, q tips, man what else do I need!?
I’d like to shout out to my M.L.A.A.D.C. friends – my potty mate and royal cornersuite mate Butch Sassidy ! Love You! Felony-you are awesome, keep going sister! and believe it or not Beast – I’m so proud of her, she’s being so incredibly brave and tough. Give a holler for my 3 favs when you come see me.
Speaking of seeing me…Jordann, Chad, Callie, Stephen and Skeletor all came that makes the princess super happy.
I love that Dr. Chris has come everyday. Deanne came with Louis and Sydney last night and my fav. gang E,M,N and Carlos AKA J.C. with Simba. I need you all in my corner!!
The days are mushing together, don’t remember what id did from one moment to the next. I forgot to mention Sheryl the other day -Sorry Lady
Its like a stationary parade, but not like one of those entertaining floats, more like the float where all the people are mangled and you feel so bad and you smile and wave because they are waving and you don’t know if laughing is appropriate because mangled people aren’t funny but they’re laughing – that’s one thought I have about being a “chained” dog- people don’t know what to make of us.
Another is that this is kind of like a week away at summer camp. summer concentration camp, minus the executions. Sure we don’t get arts and crafts, or archer or fieldtrips, or midnight snack raids or swim time – but we get these great heavy 20 feet long chains to drag around (ok maybe nothing like camp, but summer concentration camp – i may be on to something) Speaking of camping – this has prepared me for at least one night in the thompson backyard for our camp night. EEK – I thought of a fantastic idea we’ll get 8 guys – each w/ a letter of the word ‘PRINCESS’ on it, they can come down here + dazzle us all!! I love it!! 4 more days – can she do it?! yes – We should move this “Survivor MLAADC”. mainly just to vote someone off. It’s a very good thing we can’t talk – for once i’m grateful I can’t throw my 2 cents in. i want R to come see me, G to come, Tamra to come – Crystal where are you? Hope to see you soon – all of you. Seriously if everyone who’s able to could just stop by ANYTIME, day or night it would make this Princess so happy. I’m sure that didn’t cover all the things I wanted to say – but to sum it up! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I LOVE YOU!! I LOVE YOU!! mommy – like a handprint on my heart i’m outta here – hope to see you all VERY SOON

Will all the Love my heart can muster…<3 Princess

Holla!! Princess here

51 hours in.  Kevin Smith, the movie director, just came to see me OK so things I forgot to say last time:

1. E, M, N, M2 – Bring the cowbell, axylaphone, gong, Kazoo & we’ll have meditation hour every day – don’t forget we can’t have you talking too much but apparently silent musical meditation is OK.

2. I don’t want the 5 minute of phone time unless my mommy or daddy gets it for me.  I only have 2 parents to choose from opposed to a bunch of friends .

Special shout out to my new Princeton NJ Pal – Taylor – hopefully when I get outta the slammer, her and I can be Facebook.com friends.

Ester – How many people in the FB.com group now?  We at 400? 2 words Beatles Rockband.  It’s lonely at the top – it’s also more bueno – Like Taco bueno – that is why you drive the big truck.  Can you also make sure (I know you already are) that my babies are ok?

So we did MTV style cribs of my house – “where all the magic happens” I don’t know who it was for, he had a camera – that must have made him media.

I’m doing good today – have had crazy dreams – couldn’t even tell you what happened in them but they were O.O.C. (outta control).

I could use my hoodie.  Got my sweatpants this afternoon.

In retrospect I should have packed not only my body pillow, but my real pillow – oh well – I’m still pretty comfy.

G – we must get Brunch at OTCC Sunday when I get outta here!  How does that sounds?  hmmm what else

To all who know Jon LaJoie – Knock Knock Who’s there?  It’s me . . . . . . (people who don’t know him have no clue why that must be funny)

I wonder what other people write about – being on a chain is almost like I’ve always been this way & unable to speak.  I adopt pretty quickly I must say.  I could for sure go longer than a week but am glad it only lasts a week.

Just around the river bend is wearing me out – other than that things are good – me and pottymate Butch – played shadow puppets last night – I also danced to “thriller” in my head.

OH this is so important – someone please bring them Ketchup down here – we had Ketchup yesterday & apparently ran out – so bring us some ketchup Love ya! mean it!

Sending some love to Wade Starr @ the deep ForkGrill – go in there & get some cedar plank salmon!  Hey to Dr. Chris & all staff @ Gentle Care – Yo! to VECCA & everyone there.

3 more minutes – I love my mommy & my daddy & brtoher

I look forward for you all to come seeing me!

Love Princess, aka Leah

Woof! Good Afternoon – Princess Ginger here – day 2 – offically 27 hours into being chained up & it’s hard to say whether it’s going by fast or slow. This is the longest I’ve been awake the whole time I think – so I’m pretty coherant. They just announced that we had 30 minutes to write and had to write as least one complete sentence. Evidently my competitors aren’t finding as much happiness in blogging as I am.

I’ve got at least another 6 days in me. I want to specifically thank E, M, N, M2 (AKA J) for being awesome – for my stuff, coming & watching me, watching me dance & loving me unconditionally – Dr.C & J for the twizzlers, poncho, hairties, the week off from work, coming to visit & watching me; Deanne & Bill & Kids for coming showing support for me – I need the visual loving! Terry Lynn for all you do for animals like me who aren’t kept in places as nice as me, thanks for coming to see me; Steph & hubby & kid – thanks for saying I have rabies , Marc, my UPS guy & his kids – that was seriously awesome seeing you, who knew you’d take time out of your day off to show support that’s awesome. I hope I’m not leaving anyone out who came to see me. I feel so blessed. It’s a strange feeling being chained to a dog house, not allowed to talk, very little stimulation & feeling so lucky. I virtually have anything I need, except for running water, TV, & real canines to love me:)

I hope they tell me later who bought me what – they just bring me stuff – here’s a pair of socks, baby powder, chapstick (You’re my hear whoever got this for me).

I’d like to shout out to Gentle Care Animal Hospital & Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care – thanks for the time off – don’t worry I won’t talk

Tamra – hope we did a lot of adoptions – Come down & Zumba & I’ll do it too, give me a little exercise : ) love you!

R – give Bitty my love I’m being a toaster. G – come see me! 5 more minutes of writing. I managed to change my shirt w/out removing my collar that was fun!!

Make sure to comment on my blogs so when I’m done here I can read them all.

I’m Happy, Pretty dry, loved, fed, clothed the only thing I wish I had was a blow up matress too bad I didn’t pack one.

You all mean so much to me, not being able to pick up & phone & say “Hey I love you!” is one of the hardest things. So this is how I’ll do it – I LOVE YOU!!

Just realized I didn’t holler at anyone from “home”. Momma, Daddy, & Elliot, Bob & Marne – don’t know much since you can’t come see me – but I know you’ve got my back.

Everyone else either Home in NJ or California, Utah, Texas, NY or whereever – sending love from me to you – Don’t forget to Vote! In the words of Hollie, “Lee, you’re like the Obama campaign! Using all forms of media to get the vote!” I about died when she said that to me.

To the Volunteer who has to type this – thank you! Sorry I’ve got so much to say:)!

Come Visit! Come Visit! Come Visit!

You might think it’s silly since I can’t talk but it really just gives me a little more “umph” to keep going. Like Felony says – if dogs & cats can live a lifetime of it, I can live it for a week.

My shirt says “A chained dog is a lonely dog”

I’m out!!
