A happy, happy day to all of you!
Furiends, I am excited to say that Miss Chou Chou has given us a Liebster Award! We are very late in responding with our answers to her questions, and we apologize – Mom has a new jobbie and has not had as much time for bloggying as we would like!
Questions for Miss Chou Chou’s Nominees:
1) Why do you have a pet blog? Mom thought it would be fun to write about my adventures, and we’re so glad because we’ve met so many nice furiends!
2) Do you write for other blogs or websites? Mom has a bloggie called “Every Day’s Just Like Starting Over”!
3) Where do you live? We live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.
4) Why did you choose the breed/dog you blog with? My auntie rescued me from my former home, and asked my mom and dad if I could come to live with them, and they said yes! They didn’t choose my breed specificully.
5) How often do you blog? Oh, not as often as I’d like!
6) Do you have specific goals for your blog? Not right now.
7) What is the most effective way you have increased traffic to your blog? We find that reading and commenting on other bloggies helps you get to know people, and helps people get to know you!
8) Do you have other pets in your home? My big brudder Dillon went to the Rainbow Bridge last July, so I am now an only doggie.
9) Do you work outside the home? What are you doing? Mom just got a new job doing something called legal transcription. She gets to do it at home. I help by staying in the office with her!
10) How old is your dog? I am 13-1/2!
11) How old is your blog? We had our 5-year bloggyversary in March!
Miss Chou Chou, we want you to know that we appawciate this award so very much! Since we haven’t been reading around in the bloggysphere for awhile, we aren’t going to be able to nominate 11 bloggies right now. Mom is working on her schedule so we can be back to writing and visiting you all soon!
Mom found my Busy Buddy Tuggy Jug! We forgot Dad had put it up on top of the pantry. Here is a video of me getting my dinner out of it! (Please excuse the noises, everybody was watching a show on TV about silly people in England. And Mom sneezed too!) It is fun for me and helps me not to snarf my dinner so fast, and it gives me a puzzle to do!
Well, my goodness, WordPress just told me that it’s my five year Bloggyversary! I can’t believe it! I went back and looked, and sure enough, my first postie was 5 whole years ago. As it’s last minute and I’m still a bit sleepy after all the dancing at Miss Mayzie’s Gotcha Day Smell-a-Bration and Commentathon yesterday, I think we’re going to have a low-key sellabrayshun for my bloggyversary, just relaxing and nomming foods with fives on them. We’ll find some nice sunbeams on the paddy-oh and listen to the birdies tweet and sniff the springy flowrs! Please do join me, Furiends!
Hello Furiends! It’s been pretty quiet around here. Daddy broked his foot a few weeks back so he has been home all the time, and that’s sure nice for me! The only problem is this thingy:
It’s Dad’s broken foot boot!
Have you ever seen one of these, Furiends? Have you ever HEARD one of these? All those stripey parts of made of something called Velcros. My goodness, they make the most terrible, horrible noise you can imagine! It makes me shiver and shake all over for elebenty-twelve minutes to hear it! It disterbs my ladylike sensibilitees! Whew, I’ll be glad when Dad’s foot doesn’t need the Velcros anymore!
On a happier note, Mom went to a rummaging sale last weekend and I was super happy to see that she came home with bags full of blankies to give to the doggie shelter! Did you know that your local pet shelters love to receive donations of durable, washable blankies to keep the pets comfy and cozy while they wait for their furever families? Mom says estate, garage, and rummage sales are good places to get nice blankies for great prices, so if your mom or dad enjoys going to sales, won’t you ask if they would pick up a blankie now and then for our needy furiends?
(Here I am illustrayting how impawtant blankies are to the well-being of pets!)
Hello all my wonderful Furiends! I wanted to wish you all a Very Happy Vallytine’s Day! Here is a photo of me wishing you it!
I sure luv you all bunches and bunches, and hope you get lots of speshul luvs and cuddles and treats to sellabrate!

Here are five things you may not know about me!
1. I sometimes potty on the paddy-oh, if it is raining and the grass hasn’t been mowed in awhile, because I don’t like my tummy to be all tickly and soggy.
2. I don’t like my tutus and I try to run away from them when Mom puts them on me.
3. I bark and bark when guests are standing around ready to leave.
4. I enjoy sleeping on the heater vent in Mom and Dad’s office.
5. I like it when Mom holds me up and I can see us both in the mirror!
Here are the questions I get to answer! Whew, they are tough!
1. What is your favorite thing about yourself? I really think my white furs are very nice. And they allow Mom to see me in the darks, BOL!
2. Where is your favorite place to be besides home? Well, to be super honest, I don’t really go many places. I do enjoy walkies, being outside with the wind in my furs and sniffing all the smells, that’s just pawesome!
3. What do you think your perfect job would be? I’m a really great watchpup, so I think maybe a seekooritee gard job would be good!
4. If you could have any super power, what would it be? The power to be super calm in the face of adversitee (or guests) would be nice. I have challenges in that area!
5. What is the worst gift you ever received? I got an edible chewy hedgiehog for Christmas-time this year. It was neat but I got barfy after I chewed off its head. I made lots and lots of barfs. Nobody was happy about that!

Hey Furiends, have you ever seen a fancy doggie house like this? Mom found it today when she was looking on the Interwebs. Gosh, isn’t it pretty? And it’s so pawtical, with a drawer for treats and a nice flat top for photos of me! This would look super fantastical in our living room! Wouldn’t it, Mom? With a fancy pillow and blankie in it? Yes, and it’s a pawfect match to Great-Grandma’s speshul desk! Right, Mom…?
