a trip to the ER

by Bamboo

No not for me, but my bud. Waffle and I where playing don't know what happened, one moment he was fine and the next it was lights and sirens to the stuffie ER.

Good thing BFF knew of a good plastic surgeon, and after a quick trip to the ER all was better. 

Help any ideas

Bamboo and I are going to be photographed for National Library week ad. It is just going to run on campus, but I still am uber excited to have the pup pictured around campus.

But I need HELP! We get to choose a book to be pictured with, as Bamboo doesn't really read yet what book do you think she would like? Thunder Dog? Marley and Me? A Ball for Rosy?

Help! - we have to choose one over the weekend 'cause we need to take the pictures next week.

What would you say?

I posted this on facebook and the responses were fun, so I'll post it here. 

what should the caption be for this picture?

*BLING*

Just what every girl should have..... a little black dress and a little bling.

Too bad they were all dressed up with no place to go

Dear Waffle

Dear Waffle, 

you do know the bed is mine right? If there was a mis-communication let me be clear, you may not sleep on my pillows, and my the blankets are to be shared equally. Oh yeah one more thing.....no farting

Love 

BFF

the poop head plants her fuzzy butt in the most inconvenient places, then she pretends to be asleep- matter how hard I shake her. She also likes to cozy up to you, sleeping in the crook of you knee or curled up to your back, eventually though what started out as warm and cozy turns into the surface temp of the sun, and then she has to go. But of course you have to wake her 1st. Silly Labbie

Did someone say......

DINNER?

Happy New Year

The CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA!

Bamboo  in front of the Natural Balance Float

Living and or working anywhere near Pasadena, means that around New Years there is a good chance you will be involved somehow with the Rose Parade.

Add to that the Girl Scouts are celebrating their 100th birthday - and it was destined that Bamboo had to go out and help with the Rose Parade Float decorating.

Stymied by the lack of thumbs, she resorted to being a great cheer leader. Every where she went, the Girl Scouts who were decorating the float loved all over the baby, some were very excited when they heard they could raise a dog for their gold award. Bamboo is so jazzed about going to camp this summer, as long as it means she gets to play with all of girls there.  The CEO of GSUSA was there and we got a picture with her! We will post that later.

In front of the Girl Scout Float

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Girl Scout Float

 

 

A rolling kennel decorated to look like an old school woody station wagon

 The flowers were amazing, thousands upon thousands of roses in every shade, we wandered over to see both the Girl Scout and Natural Balance floats. The NB float is the longest and heaviest float. It has a wave pool where Tillman and his friends will be surf boarding down Colorado Blvd. I thought there were going to be guide dogs involved, but not this year. :(        

That little station wagon up top, is actually an enclosed kennel, once the dogs reach the end of the wave pool, they hop into the car and are driven back to the front of the wave pool!

Great outing for her, there were tons of people, smells and noise. She did pretty good, at first she wasn't sure she wanted to be there, but like the new kid at school, once she made friends all she wanted to do was play. Everyone loved her! She really doesn't like to take pictures and sat there sulking every time I made her pose. Poop Head

From our pack to yours Happy New Year, may your water bowl never run dry and your kibble be bountiful.

Because

the bed is all mine fuzzy butt.

any other bright ideas?

BFF saw Truffie's picture and said "Waffle we gotta get ready for next years Christmas card and I know just the thing"

Yeah thanks Truffle, anyone know where I can get a lump of coal? I need to get ready for next year too!

but why.....

Bamboo with the best version of puppy eyes ever!

Can't I sleep on the bed?

I've got a problem....

Waffle head down on the carpet

Too many people and not enough of ME!

There are three people at home and only one of me. They all expect me to love them the best and I do, but it sure is tiring. For instance, I have to spend the afternoon keeping mom on the sofa - I take my job as a mom paper weight very seriously, I mean what if she wandered away who would feed us?

After sleeping on mom, I have to take BFF out for a walk, she's getting a little chubby and the exercise is good for her. After checking out the park, I get back to the house and Eggo expects me to spend quality time with her.... so after spending a few minutes letting her rub my tummy. I have to start the whole rotation all over again. Don't even get me started on bed time, they take it personally if I don't sleep with them, there has been bribery, trickery and guilt

The little squirt tries but let's face it she is just not me. Uh ohhh someone is in the kitchen they might need me gotta run, a lab's work is never done.

Christmas bling!

I'm stylin'.  The name of the necklace is called Coffee Bean, and it is from Lia Sophia.  Gotta get ready for Christmas!

Taco Bell

I'm lucky puppy raiser. In one way, shape or form I keep in touch w/all the girls I've had a hand in raising.

Case in point- Tacoma comes by every now and the to say hello. Her person works @ the same place and we run into each other. Th other day she dropped in and we introduced the two girls. I love bamboo's expression, not surewhat to make of the very large lab next to her.

Love that I get to see her, even if it is clear she just thinks of me as a friendly face, and a familar smell.

Thanks Aunty Michelle and Uncle Vince

For the loudest toy under the tree

Merry Christmas from the drool-ly dog

Waffle wishing you a drool-ly holiday, hope that everyone's noses and toes are warm and snugly. 

Give your people an extra kiss tonight.

Work

What ! I'm working.

At last

Waiting

Dear Eggo -

I made your bed and helped clean your room. I even tested out your bed to make sure it was just right. I am waiting......

When are you coming home with my liver treats?

Not Helping

Eggo is coming home tomorrow and we I am cleaning up Waffle's Eggo's room for her. Having a lab paper weight in the middle of a bed certainly ups the difficulty factor of this task from a simple 2 to a 5.

Because we miss her

picked this up at Target, I wanted cut out the bottom so she could wear it at Halloween. It is one of the sack like things that you can put your baby in. Just a few more days and we can have our Boozie back.
