Today is our little WillowBee's very first Birthday. Yahoo!
We are all going to get cake tonight, I am hoping.
I thought that if I asked my Mouse Person very nicely, he would help me find someplace to plan a Birthday Party Extra Ordinary. I found Dog Birthdays and Parties and it seems to me that there are some very helpful ideas on this place. So you should check it out. Here is the picture that is on the very first page:
Needless to say, this picture is looking NOTHING like our Bee.
Anyway...... check this out too! Go get your Mouse and have him take you to Fun Stuff for Dogs Did you know there is now CAKE MIX IN A BOX -- for dogs? Yes, indeed. Now this is a GOOD IDEA, says my Mom. Now that she knows about this, everyone can have a Birthday Cake of their very own this year.
You can read more about this Dog Cake in a Box at PuppyCake
We think we would like the Banana the best, but there is also "Chocolate"....... Ta Da!
In case you have forgotten what little Miss Bee looked like as a baby, here are her "baby" pictures.... or at least a few of them.
This was one of the very first pictures we have of our little girl......when she still had on her piece of rick-rack, which is how her original parents could tell them all apart. Willow was Purple. One of her sisters was Peach, and guess what? That is still her name to this very day. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PEACH)
Here was the baby, wearing her designer coat from George of San Francisco.... which, I might add, was my coat originally. I looked mighty fine in it, too. But because I am a good big brother, I let Willow borrow it when it was nippy last Spring.
And then, Miss Willow had her first "official" photo shoot from our wonderful friend and Photo Taker, Bev Hollis and let me tell you, that was one crazy photo shooting.
Isn't Willow just the most beautiful thing ever? And she still is!
Here is a photo graph that our friend, Ms. Diane took of our girl, while she was lounging on the couch. (Willow was lounging, not Ms. Diane)
You can see that our girl has grown quite large (even though she is still a lot smaller than her own Brother and Sisters).......... and then, of course, what is a birthday like without a new toy?
I think this toy might be all of our new Best Friend in the Wonderful Toy Department. It is called a Monsterpull, and you can see there are quite a few to choose from, but of course, our Birthday Girl needed to have THE PINK ONE.
Silly Pulls and Monster Pulls ---- WHAT WE FOUND WITH OUR MOUSE PERSON
Made of Eco-Friendly recycled fabrics, just like the original Pentapulls. Each toy has 4 layers of ballistic nylon, covered with a tough plush exterior. The Silly Pulls have two tennis balls, 5 squeakers, and flat embroidered details. The Monster Pulls have flat embroidered details and multiple squeakers. This is an excellent toy for pulling, shaking and general rough housing. This is not a chew toy, do not leave with an unattended dog.
SEE THAT LAST LINE...... do not leave with an unattended dog........... Mom says it is because UNATTENDED DOGS can get into a LOT of trouble. Not me, however. I'm a good boy. HA.
So Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to our very own WillowBee....... crazy though she is, we still LOVE HER LOTS!

....... big Bro to little Will
My Mom has explained both of these to me in great detail, and obviously our LIly of the Valley is suffering from both of these ailments.
Here is proof:
I realize that these topsy-turvy silly pictures of Lily aren't the most flattering pose, but hey.... smooshing yourself around on the couch takes care of a lot of boredom issues. HA.
Love and LIcks,

It was a nice day other than the fact that we couldn't leave our property ---- nor were we able to get out for several days thereafter. Things are back to normal now, and I'm in the Blogging Zone again. I have missed Blogging, but Mom - who controls the thumbs - said she was just too depressed for words. I guess having a Birthday and a Blizzard all on one day is more than these old ones can handle.
HA.
Here is a picture of one of our access roads a few days after the big storm.
This is called Loudoun Orchard Road. If you turn right out of our driveway and go up a little way you can connect with Loudoun Orchard and then get across to Harmony Church, which we figured was clear. HA. We had to call our wonderful neighbor to help remove some of the snow drifts across Loudoun Orchard and after many, many, many cold hours, we got OUT! Our own road, which is named Mt. Gilead, was totally impassable at this point in time. Now, we can get in and out pretty easy, but our own property is still pretty scary. Yesterday, Mr. Pat was able to dig out his own car, so of five vehicles, we now have three operational.
Fortunately, there was chocolate cake!
Since we could not go anywhere on the 10th - the Birthday Day and the Big Blizzard Day, my Omi (who is Mr. Pat's Mom and is from Germany), made a homemade German Dinner for my Mom's Birthday. Oh Yum. We got some little bites. And Mr. Pat made the cake. Notice, please, that it is in the shape of a BONE Pretty appropriate. It was DELICIOUS according to Mom. Dogs can't have chocolate, although I heard it on good authority that Lily Bug got just the tinest little lick. Bah!
Our wonderful friend Bev Hollis who is perhaps one of the best photo taking people in the whole world sent us this beautiful picture that she took at her own home in downtown Leesburg, Virginia.
This doesn't even look real, does it? But it was.
So all of our area was a WINTER WONDERLAND. Unfortunately, this caused severe problems for most people and many folks got stuck and some didn't have any electricity and it was very scary. But today, Wednesday, February 17th, one week after the BIG BLIZZATD OF 2010, we are all safe, and secure and things are getting back to normal.
I'm glad, cause you know what? I have a major case of the PitBull Zoomies, and no where to ZOOM!
Love,

.......... and Happy Birthday to my Mom
So anyway, I thought it might be fun for you to see HOW MUCH SNOW we got in December here in Leesburg, Virginia. Of course, I fully realize this is NADA compared to some states like Montana and Wyoming or maybe even Vermont where my friend, Tracie Hotchner lives. But it was a LOT for us Virginia people.
So here are some pictures for you to see us playing IN THE BLIZZARD.
this is me and Willow playing chase!
Then we saw those pesky squirrels................ quick head turn into their direction
Willow ran to get Lilly cause we were having so much fun (except, see ---- my nose is starting to glow!)
Lilly Bug, being a BullDog, has quite short legs and so at first, she was sticking right by the house, but after a little bit, she couldn't stand it any longer and decided to join us.
I think the toy might have gotten the worst of this game of "gimme"
And finally, Mom called and said we had all better come inside. I think my nose was glowing like Rudolph by this time and my paws were very frosty. But it was a fun, fun day.So we are hoping for some more snow to play in this week-end, but judging by the weatherman a little bit ago, it might not materialize. People here in Virginia get very panicky when they think there will be some snowing going on. It's impossible to buy milk, eggs, bread or water at the grocery stores and of course the stores and even the banks are closing. Mom said that if the banks and the stores and the schools in Montana closed every time it snowed that the economy would go South pretty quick.
I'll keep you posted about the weather!
Love and Licks,
Blogging Bob, Boy PitBull Reporter of the Weather
HA!
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words!
