Awesomeness All Around

My buddy Quizz tagged me to play the Seven Reasons I'm Awesome game. It's pretty exciting because my moto is "When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome." True Story. Have to thank my mom for sharing that one with me as she's a HIMYM addict.

So here goes:

1. I have a FTB now!! (Sorry still super excited about this one!!)
2. I have a super awesome Cousin Roscoe
3. I have one blue and one brown eye (some people ask if one is fake, although I've never met another doggie who has a fake eye)
4. I sleep sidewars and only take up 3/4 of the bed so mom has a whole 1/4 to herself
5. I am the fastest licker in the west
6. I was rescued from a junkyard
7. I sound like a wookiee sometimes when I Roo.

Roscoe and Me

Even though I already know they are, I'd like to see how awesome these 7 dogs are:
1. Sprite
2. Addy
3. Levi
4. Dory
5. Bijou
6. Prairie Dogs
7. Tank

PSA

Mom came across this great price for the Pet's Eye View that I showed ya'll before of mine. She thought she'd pass it along because it's way cheaper than she's ever seen. Click Here to Shop!

Thank you all for your kind wishes and congratulations to my mom and me. We are both very excited...I'll see what I can swing as far as a diamond collar or ring! ;o)

Life Changes

Sorry I've been MIA the past week, there have been some major life changes going on.

I guess I should start from the beginning, which was when FLF (father like figure) took me to the Ranch, during our drive back to Dallas from Oklahoma he discussed some major things with me and asked me an important question that I had to keep secret.

But then this last weekend he surprised my mom and I can share the news with everyone now. It started with a trip they had planned to visit friends in Houston, but FLF changed their flight to Florida instead and took my mom to Disney World for her early birthday present (even though it's not for two more weeks). While there he asked her a very important question by Cinderella's Castle and she said yes.

If you can't guess the question it was "Can I be Princess's real Father?" ...ok, not really it was "Will you marry me?" but it leads to the fact that I now have a FTB (Father to Be)!!! So exciting isn't it?!

What he asked me on the way from the ranch was if he could be part of our family and I of course gave him the lick of approval!

Here's mom showing me the new piece of jewelry...
It looks like a ring...
It smells like a ring...

It tastes like a ring!!

Oh dog! Does this mean I have to change my name now?!?!

Honest Scrap

I was tagged by my cute friend Sugar with the Honest Scrap Award and to play the game that goes along with it.

I'm supposed to list 10 things you might not know about me. This might be a little hard...but here I go:

1. Mom says I snore sometimes, although I'm not sure this is entirely true as I've never heard me snore!

2. I have a bed in every room of the house. Mom and I live in a 2 bedroom condo, so there is a bed in her bedroom, the study/guestroom that I stay in during the days when she's at work, and that cool couch looking bed in the living/dining/kitchen area.

3. When I'm invited onto the human couch I crawl up very slowly one paw at a time. Mom says I look like a little old lady dog and not a big strong pit bull when I do that. She doesn't realize I'm just trying to be a lady and the Princess that I am.

4. When I stay with my Grandparents Grandma lets me in bed with her, but Grandpa doesn't. So I get an hour or two of sleep with her before he comes to bed.

5. I LOVE butt skitches...mom still needs to take a video of that.

6. I love all humans, but sometimes need slow introductions with new doggies. But the doggy friends I have I LOVE so much!

7. I have lots of nicknames: Pretty Pretty Princess, Pittieboo, Pitiful Pittie (when I do my pathetic face)

8. I'm not the first pit bull that's been part of my mom's family. When she was a little girl they had another pretty one called Febbie that my grandma got when she was pregnant with my Aunt(my mom's older sister). We are GREAT with children, and used to be called Nanny Dogs.

9. I have one blue eye and one brown eye, but the upper most part of my brown eye is blue as well, but you can hardly see it.

10. I know these human words: Walk, Treat, Sit, Stay, Lay, Shake, High-Five, Drop, Ball, Toy, Leave It, No, Car Ride, Bike Ride, Heel, Run, Tace, Roscoe. I think that's all of them...

And here's the cute picture of me for the day!!Oops!! I forgot to post who I'm giving it to. I don't know who all has received this one, but if you haven't PLEASE PLEASE take it, as it's lots of fun learning new things about my friends!

Sleepy Sunday Night

I had a wonderful time at the Ranch with FLF (see previous post) but now that I'm home and mom had to wash me...she kept mumbling something about she can't believe he let me roll in cow patties, whatever those are...but now I must rest from all the running in the open land.

Since some of you were asking, mom said she got my bed at Costco, it's their brand and was only $19.99...she says you can't beat that anywhere! They have round beds too, for your round dogs!! Haha!!

Package from Portugal

This weekend I got a package from Rufus, Indie, and Ana for playing along in their summer photo contest and being one of three winner. How exciting a package all the way from Portugal! Thanks guys!!

I'm using my awesome non-opposable thumb skills to open the package!

There's a letter to me! And a Happy Bear, which is actually a monkey!
And little treats that mom says are perfect for taking on walks in her pocket and work on other skills.
Thanks guys, I love everything and was happy to play in your contest! Thanks for everything! Mom was just as amazed as Sugar's mom was that I didn't tear up my Happy Bear monkey right away, I played with it all night and his ear and tail are still in tact if not a little worn. I'll get mom to take another picture of him so you can see yourself.

Christmas in July: Aka TAG!!

So my pal Dozer invited me to play tag again, but this time with his own rules. I don't mind either way, because it's a fun game!

Here are the new rules:
Open the folder that contains Pet photos.
Then select any photo in that folder that you haven’t posted previously.
Post that photo along with the story behind it on your blog.
Then tag 5 friends.
Christmas Day, 2007
So this was my first Christmas with my mom and Santa came to visit! I had my own stocking...notice what it says: 'Dear Santa, I've been a Princess!' Which is only sooo true as you all know! There were lots of yummy goodies inside, a new frisbie toy, some rawhide candy canes (you can see sitting on the floor), and other treats too!
So now my five tags:

Sporn Harness

UPDATE: Mom found a great deal on the Sporn Non-Pull Harness so she's bought it for me! Yea!! More bike rides coming up in my future! In case anyone is interested she got it here: http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/product.asp?CID=0&pf_id=0031149 & had a coupon code for $5 off.

Bike Ride

I love going on bike rides with my mom and my FLF (Father-like-figure aka mom's boyfriend). When they take me along with them I actually get to RUN, unlike other runs where I trot at a slower pace so mom can keep up! Here are some pictures.
We know it's not the safest way, but FLF holds the leash (mom isn't talented enough). Don't worry, he wears a helmet! And we're looking at getting one of these: Springer
Check out my legs in this one! I'm really moving...it's also toward the end so I'm tired, can you tell by my tounge? I'm a tired happy dog!!

RIP Handsome Tace

My dear friend Tace passed away this past weekend on July 4th. He is one of my bestest friends forever. He was the first dog that my mom introduced me to after she adopted me. He is my mom's boyfriends roommates dog (confusing I know!) and he was doberman. I've known him two years in his too short 6 year life. Unfortunately I didn't get to share my play times with him with you like I was planning too; as he was on doggy vacation (at his grandparents) while his dad was busy with tax season.

I got to stay with him two weekends ago when mom was out of town and of course had my usual great time. I'm happy I got to spend some time with him in his last week on earth. Mom can't seem to find past pictures of us together and it's making her more upset, so if you can imagine me happily playing bitey face with a big giant doberman named Tace, you'll have a good idea of what we looked like playing. But mom will keep looking.

We'll miss you Tace! Have a safe journey to Rainbow Bridge!! We love you!
