How have people mispronounced your name?  How is it supposed to sound?

"Bliss" is pretty easy to pronounce. No one misprounounces my name. It's "Bliss." Easy.

People sometimes mispronounce my breed, though. I'm a Keeshond. A lot of people say, "keesh-hound," but that's not the way you say it at all. It's "kayz-hawnd." I understand it's because it's Dutch. It means the hound belonging to Kees, the person who popularized my ancestors.

So, to recap, "kayz-hawnd," NOT "keesh-hound."

Thank you.

May I have a cookie now?

I have my own Vox banner now. This is me on the banner. I'm very tired in this picture. Do you know why? It's because I haven't had a cookie yet. This is what I look like when I haven't had enough cookies. This means you must give me a cookie IMMEDIATELY.

Remember the new website I told you about? It's the Featured Blog of the day at TypePad.

That's pretty neat.

I hope the TypePad people send me cookies.

People like to take my picture. And I like having my picture taken. This nice man came into the office last week, and I was happy to pose for him.

Alas, he had no cookie.

Hi.

I haven't been here in a while. I just moved to a new place, and it was a little weird. But it's okay now. More about that later.

I have a new blog. It's called Dog Bliss. It's about things for dogs. Some of them are good, like cookies, some of them are not so good, like nail polish. It's named after me. As it should be.

Mmmm. Cookies.

I appreciate the treat and all, but geez. JUST GIVE IT TO ME.

By the way, the cookie came from the Three Dog Bakery. It isn't a people cookie. I know those aren't good for me.

You can see my entire ancestry here.

Yes, my full name is "Kemont's Blessed Be." My biological mom's name was Halo, and my dad's was JD. They were both American Champions. I couldn't show because of an itty-bitty problem with my heart, but I'm a champion anyway. My mom says so.

My ancestry is pretty straight-forward. My parents were keeshonden, my grandparents were keeshonden, and their grandparents were keeshonden. We're Dutch, and were originally used on boats as watchdogs. Which means we bark. A LOT. See? I can't help it. It's in my genes.

Do you have a cookie?
