Goodbye 2009

You've been wonderful to me and my mom. Keep watching over my blogging
friends in 2010.

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Meet CarlosIsn't he handsome?! He's a blogger friend and I love hearing about his new life with the sap, but he's also looking for a forever home. Check out his petfinder page and pass his info along to anyone who would love a handsome pibble in their home!! ;o)

Snowy Christmas

As promised here are more pictures of me in the snow we had for Christmas day. I woke up that morning itching to go out and I had lots of fun snow zoomies in the yard to celebrate the White Christmas.

Mom wasn't prepared for all my cuteness so she had to take these pictures with her phone.

Here are some of my zoomies...mom barely got me in this one!!
And heres another, she didn't get me in this one at all!! Haha!!


And here's me in my hoodie because it was so cold, mom said she saw me shaking, but I don't know what she's talking about. I'm enjoying my Christmas bully stick which was a present from my grandparents!!

White Christmas

I'm getting a white Christmas in Texas!! Mom took this when it was first starting but it looks like we got a couple inches total. Hopefully I'll get a few more pictures tomorrow.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope Santa brings you lots of goodies and toys!!!

At least I'm on Pitter Patter

Mom clearly doesn't have enough time to help me update my blog very often lately, but at least other people are putting me on their blogs!! Here I am on Pitter Patter today...



Mom said something about 11 days and counting...

Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas
when all thru the house

Not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nick soon would be there.

The children were nestled, all snug in their beds
With no thought of the dog outside filling their heads.

And Mom in her kerchief and I in my cap
Knew the dog was cold, but didn’t care about that.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash
Did the dog break his chain and get into the trash?

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But Santa Claus, with his eyes full of tears.

He unchained the dog, once so lively and quick
Last year’s Christmas present now painfully sick.

More rapid than eagles he called the dog’s name
and the dog ran to him despite all his pain.

Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and Vixen
On Comet on Cupid on Donner and Blitzen.

To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall
Let’s find this dog a home where he'll be loved by all.

I knew in an instant there would be no gifts this year
For Santa had made one thing painfully clear.

The gift of a dog is not just for the season
We had gotten the dog for all the wrong reasons.

In our haste to fill the kids' Christmas list,
There was one important thing we missed

A dog should be family, and cared for the same
You don’t give a gift, then put it on a chain.

And I heard him explain as he rode out of site,
“You weren’t given a 'gift.' You were given a life.”

Three Years Ago This Weekend

Foster mom got a call that her Pit Bull was found on the streets and I was 'found' again for the second time...

Then my mom's sister called me after seeing a message that I was home and available again for adoption. Mom found out that foster mom would wait patiently for her to find a house and I was going to finally have my forever home!!

Sheets

From the streets to 500TC Sheets...
(sorry for the poor quality, I had to use my iphone in the semi-dark to not wake the sleeping Princess, and to think she used to live on the streets before she was rescued...)

Worldless Wednesday - High-Five

oldie but goodie

Please excuse my mom as she has no time to take pictures of me anymore, I'm no longer important to her....ok I'm making stories up, of course i'm the best thing in her life, but she's very forgetful these days and doesn't take her camera around like she used to. This is an oldie but a goodie picture.

Lesson #237 from Dogs: Less Work, More Play

Happy Monday!!

Here's a picture and some video from my weekend with my cousin!!
Original Video-

Only two months from today and I'll have a real dad!!

Going to visit my cousin!!

This is my goofy cousin Roscoe! Mom is going out of town and so are my grandparents who let me stay at thier house but they are going to see mom's sister. So I'm going with them to visit him this weekend!!

Hopefully we'll do something fun like take mud baths!

Wordless Wednesday

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Please don't come any more days...

I want to play ball!! But mom says it's too wet, rainy, and muddy. I miss playing ball.

Wordless Wednesday

Sunday Fun

On my Sunday walk, mom took me somewhere a little different. It's on our normal walk route, but not somewhere she usually likes to go.

It's a stream/small river we walk along but it's well below the path and mom says it's usually pretty yucky! But with all the rain that's been here the past four weeks she felt a little more comfortable letting me go down and play in the water.

Here are some fun pictures, mom had to use her phone because her camera wasn't charged properly.
Mom said these guys were trying to fish, but she didn't think they were having any luck.
What was even more exciting is that I got a much longer walk than normal because we had to wait for me to dry off before mom would go home!

Mom's Cheating on Me

Ok, some of you might be wondering who that goofing looking dog is who took over my Wordless Wednesday is?

Well mom is cheating on me and she can't hind it. I smelled it for certain last Saturday. She ran off super early in the morning came home around lunch time and it was all over her. Then this week I got in the car and I smelled it some more!! And you know we all got good sniffers!

Mom finally fessed up that she was "volunteering" and she hopes to start doing more of it. This "volunteering", which she called a transport, consisted of driving a bulldog from one place to another where his foster family was waiting for him. (Doesn't she know I love car rides and that she wouldn't have to give me away at the end of one?)

Anywho here's some more pictures of the rascal! Thankfully he was passed on to his new foster parents and mom didn't bring him home. But now she won't stop talking about how cute English Bulldoggy's are.Mom knows that driving with a pup in your lap isn't very safe she doesn't let me do it and she says if she's going to do more cheating on me transporting, she's going to get a proper car harness or crate, but that Butch here wouldn't settle down until he got in her lap. But because he was settled and just slept she thought it was better than him crawling around.

Everyone Smiles

Everyone smiles in the same language. ~Author Unknown

Here's my entry for Dory's Smilefest!!We're sorry if you've seen it before, mom apologizing for not taking any good pictures of me lately. But she loves this smile of mine because I just love car rides!!

Congrats on your 100th post Dory!!

I want to be a Calendar Gril!!

Mom and I entered the Bad Rap "My Dog is Family" Photo Calendar Contest. It's a cool contest because the top 13 winners are featured in their 2010 Calendar!

Here's my page.

To Vote you have to donate a dollar per vote, but the money is being raised to help other pups in need so that Bad Rap can continue to do their good work. So if you'd like to help other pups and help me be a calendar girl go see my contest entry!

I also have another award that was created for me by Purplehatter. It's appropriately titled 'Climbing to the Top Award,' so maybe I'll climb to the top of the competition for the calendar!!
Although in this picture I'd say I'm not climbing so much as taking a nap, but there are stairs which I do climb a lot!!

So I'd like to pass this award on to other 'top dogs' so they can have a fun award. There aren't any other rules that go with this other than to say pass along to top dog who deserve an award!

So I'd like to pass to:
- Mesa and Baily (new top friends)
- Life with Dogs (who is one of the top dog blogs around!!)
- Honey (who is a top dog dancer!!)
- Boots (another new friend)
- Bijou (who is top dog of her house!)
- Dory (who is also top dog of her house!!)

Please pass along to other top dogs on your blogs!!

Rainy Day Mail

It's been a rainy yucky past couple of days, but thankfully a special Delivery for yours truely brightened my Saturday since I couldn't go out to play in the mud.

It was from my friends Dozer, Star and Dubby.

Mom let me open it and I got to work!

First I had to read their notes...Star is such a lady(notice her pretty typing)!!They each sent something special my way, Dubby sent me a Kong Wubba(I've never had one), Dozer a ball of course and it's a good tough one, and Star sent me some shiny bling to match my momma's new ring!Can you see the sparkle?!Look how fast I move for the Wubba!! Or maybe that's mom moving too slow with the camera?They said the purple is because I'm royalty!I love my new toys, now if mom would just throw them some more!!Thank you Star, Dubby, and Dozer I love the special things your picked out for me!! And thanks to your mummy for sending the package!!
