Good-bye sweet Princess

Ariel,
Mommy and Poppy are too heart-broken to say much but we love you and we miss you. You will always be our Princess.

It's Ariel, the birthday girl!!

I'm 11 years old today!
I simply LOVE birthdays!!! I got lots of dog cookies and a new bed with my name on it : "Princess Ariel"!
AND, I'm going to get a new Octofuzzy (furry octopus toy) soon!!! I love Octofuzzies!
I LOVE birthdays!!!

Hello out there! Ariel here!

Well, you won't believe it!!! Without getting off the sofa, I won another ribbon!!!
I won 3rd place in the Virtual Dog Show Hound group!!
My mommy now has me entered in another virtual show - this time dachshunds only!

Hello, it's me, Ariel!

My mommy entered me in a virtual dogshow on infodog!! I never even heard of a virtual dog show. Best part is, I never even had to get off of the futon!!!! I didn't have to get a bath or anything, and guess what??!! I won "Best of Variety"! How very cool is that!!!
I got a ribbon over the computer and a certificate and everything! Mommy now says that I am to be judged in the Hound Group. I'll keep you posted.
Virtual dogshows are the best!!!!

Until later,
Ariel

I traveled to Key West! They loved me there! (Check out- page 2 of our DogsterPlus Photo book for my vacation- pictures!)

Remy (my silly poodle son) and I went with mommy and poppy to Key West!!!! It was a blast! We stayed in a cute cottage with a little white picket fence just a couple of blocks from Duval Street. That must be a good location, 'cause mommy and poppy were real excited about it!!! We could go almost everywhere in Key West!!! We went to dinner with mommy and poppy everynight and dined in some of the best restuarants (Sarabeth's, Blue Heaven -We even got filet mignon for free at Blue Heaven!! We had lunch at Louie's Backyard, and B.O.s Fishwagon and several more places !!! ) They even let me and Remy sit on the barstools at Captain Tony's and the lady there sang a song for us! We went to the aquarium, into art galleries, shops - they loved us at the Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville Store!! We went back three times and they let us us sit on the counter and gave us dog treats!! We now have Margaritaville collars!!!

Dachshunds are big in Key West so I got LOTS of attention! I have officially been invited to come in January and pariticipate in the Key West Dachshund Parade!!!! Doxies are sort of the "unofficial official" dog of the Island!

There were other cool places in Florida, too! On Grassy Key, they let us go into the Dolphin Research Center with mommy and poppy! We went to St. Augustine and we ate at Scarlett O'Hara's. We even went to the Kennedy Space Center - we couldn't go in but they have free kenneling service there and this really sweet lady took care of us while mommy and daddy went on a tour.

I really think you should talk your mommy and poppy into taking you on a Key West vacation if you have never been. You will LOVE it. Especially if you are a dachshund!

Signing off for now,
Ariel
