Hello Friends!
I had this bloggy entry all ready to go but it looks like blogger got hungry and ate it! So here are our Pets of the Week a little late! Also, in case you missed them on the bingo page, here are the numbers for 1/31 and 2/1:
THE PETS OF THE WEEK!
This is Felix!He lives in Ohio.
He is a real good boy and is 6 years old. He is a very happy dog and will make a great companion.
I just love his almost white eyebrows and beard! Mine will probably be that color before long!
If you live near Felix and are looking for a cute companion, you can find out more about him on his page at petfinder.com
This is Jesslyn!
She lives in Oregon.
She is a happy go lucky puppy that loves to snuggle! She is adorable and affectionate!
I think she looks a lot like my puppy picture when I was on Petfinder.com!
If you live near Jesslyn and are looking for a puppy pal, you can find out more about her on her page at petfinder.com
Are you looking for a new forever friend but don't live near Felix or Jesslyn? Don't worry! Just go to petfinder.com and search for available pets in your area!
When Karen, teacher from Canada sent me a link to their "What's Happening in North Vancouver School District?" and the Literacy and Compassion Post (1-27-09) I had to reach for a tissue once again! I do alot of crying these...
BRING HOME THE SIX PACK!!!
Super Bowl Sunday... we can hardly wait for the game to begin!
The girls are ready too.
My husband and I were born and raised in Pittsburgh. We have always been Steelers fans. Living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area is like living in a melting pot. There are many Steelers fans around, but at where I work at least all of my friends are Cowboys fans. I know, they have been very sad this year.
When the Cowboys played the Steelers at home in December, one of my best friends challenged me to a friendly wager. With the help of my other best friend Tasha, the wager was finalized...
If the Cowboys win:
· Staci must wear either a Cowboys hat or shirt two days (these days should be chosen when Staci has no outside meetings) during the month of January AND
· Must take a picture of both dogs in Cowboys apparel (which Natalie will provide) to bring in and share with co-workers AND
· Must buy Natalie a treat from Sonic or Chicken Xpress once a week during the month of January.
If the Steelers win:
· Natalie must wear a Steelers Santa hat two full days during the month of January (these days should be scheduled when Natalie has no outside meetings) AND
· Display all Steelers decorations in her cube that Staci provides until the Super Bowl AND
· Must buy Staci a treat from Sonic or Chicken Xpress once a week during the month of January
Meet Natalie...
Natalie is a sad Cowboys fan, but she has been a really good sport. I went easy on her and gave her the necklace to wear instead of the Steelers Santa hat. Natalie is pregnant, due in March, with a little girl that they have named Paisley. What Natalie doesn't realize is that Paisley has already turned into a Steelers fan...
GO STEELERS!!!
Me: So George and Jack escaped last night and got into a 50lb block of Icy Waters fish. (at a really great price of $5/block!!)
Steph: Uh oh! (her dogs get into all kinds of weird things, so she understands my pain)
Me: It was funny, because it was so frozen they were only able to gnaw a little hole in the side of it like there were some mice nibbling on it.
Steph: haha!
Me: I don't think they ate too much, but George might have hogged out on it, I could see her belly looked a bit bigger. I was up 5 times last night letting her out, it drove me nuts!
Steph: agh! I hate it when my dogs wake me up in the middle of the night! (what can I say, we like our sleep)
Me: I know! So not only am I up at 1am, 3am, 4:30am, 6:30am, 7:45am, when I just get back into bed and hear this weird "SPLOOSH!" and wonder, hmmm... that was a weird noise. That was not a good noise. (instinctively I know "splooshes" are baaaad)
Steph: Oh god, that doesn't sound good...
Me: Yep, your right, she hurled up a gut full of slimy fish bits... it was soooo huge and gross...
Steph: EW!!!! (starting to squirm in her chair)
Me: So I go downstairs right away, 'cause I figure out it's puke and I didn't want the smell of fish that has been digesting in a dog's gut for 10hrs to come wafting up into the loft...
Steph: Oh that's really gross (gag)
Me: I get downstairs and luckily she puked on the dog blanket! That was a lucky break 'cause do you know how hard it is to clean up slimy fish dog puke up off the wood floors? It keeps sliding around and damn! Those paper towels do NOT sop up slimy fish bits
Steph: ok, ok, I think I've heard enough...
Me (oblivious): So I drag the blanket outside, which was really not a good idea. I didn't pick up enough of it in my half asleep state - so as I dragged it the blanket left a trail of slime and fish bits over the floor, the carpet, and by this time, gah, it was really starting to reek!
Steph: Ok, ok, enough! Eww.... I don't want to hear anymore!
Me (still oblivious): Meanwhile, the door is open and George runs outside past me, OVER TOP of the blanket and slime trail, tracking slimy fish bits over the floor on her way out. Then Gracie and Kuna move in to clean up the slime trail. Reguritated slimy fish bits are apparently appealing to dogs! Not a huge surprise I guess...
*munching away on my toast and still oblivious*
Me: So did you have breakfast yet?
Steph: Ugh! I think I'm going to puke now. Thanks for sharing.
Ah, good friends are hard to find.

Ah, good friends are hard to find.
Clearly my mum has too much time on her hands. Just look what she did to me.
She thinks this is funny to warp my photo so I look like an alien.
I'm not happy with my mum at all. On Saturday she left me at home while she went to a birthday party. I barked and howled for her to come back to get me but she didn't. She didn't return home till it was almost bedtime so I didn't get my usual playtime or cuddle time.
Then on Sunday afternoon she gave me a bath, I wasn't even dirty. Then she played around on the computer warping my photos. Grrr!
What did I do to deserve this?
