Hey

Sorry it took me so long to write, I know it's been a week today since I came up here to The Bridge. It's just been such a whirlwind!! First, I came up here, I was greeted by a group of guys I remember well from here on Dogster. Pongo and I made plans to hit all the food hot spots. Then, I felt something, I looked around, I sniffed the air. That's when I saw him!!! Jimmy!!!! I screamed "JIM", he screamed "LOUIE", and we started running towards each other. Tears were streaming down my face, my brother, my long lost brother! It felt like it took forever to reach each other, and when we finally did that stinkin' SOB squeaked a ball right on my little head! Then it was ON!! Fists of Fury time! After about an hour he stopped sitting on me and said "OK, c'mon, let's go. I'll show you around." He took me over to a cliff and told me to look over, when I did I saw my mom,she was crying. I went to her and told her to knock it off, quit being such a baby. Doesn't she know where I am??? With Jim? And all this food?? Here at The Bridge you don't have to worry about putting on a pound, so guess who gets to eat to his hearts content? And anyways, I'll be watching her, I'll still take care of her. And then Jim said, " I have another place to show you" we went over by this lovely stream, there was a rainbow. And at the end of the rainbow? My sweet Sunny Lee!!! Finally, I was right next to her! And, may I add, her pictures do NOT do her justice! Beautiful, stunning, magnificent!!! I couldn't help it, I had to give her a kiss. I will DEFINITELY be back to see her! After that Jim took me back to the party staging area, it was so cool! There were streamers and balloons and a big sign that said "Welcome Lou!" And what's a party without food? There was steak, chicken, chorizo beans, you name it, it was there!!!! I have been to many a restaraunt since I got here and I'll tell ya folks, they all get 4 out of 4 paws!!! Anyways, I gotta go, I have lunch plans. Thank you all so much for the kindness and love you have shown my mom and I in the last week, we really appreciate knowing that you all care. PEACE!!!!!

Armageddon

What kind of world do we live in when that demon-spawn brat that I live with gets named "Cutest Dog" at the Wyandotte Street Fair??? He's going to be completely unbearable now, like he wasn't before!! Already he's like "Lou, it's raining, I need you to hold an umbrella over me. Award winning cuteness should not be allowed to get wet when going pee pee." And "I don't have to listen because I'm cute, and I have the credentials to prove it!" What were the people that voted for him thinking? Gotta go, PEACE!

Busy Day!

Oh my god! What can I say? It's nice to see that my hard work, my blood, sweat and tears is appreciated. It's been such a whirlwind day, you know, autograph signings, photo shoots, shaking paws and kissing babies. When you're a diary pick you have an image you have to uphold, you know. Gotta keep the fans happy! Thanks Dogster powers that be! And my fans, what can I say? I am what I am because of you!

And now a review! A compare and contrast of the McDonald's Hot Fudge and Caramel Sundaes! The McDonald's Sundea is simple enough, soft serve ice cream covered with either hot fudge or caramel. The beauty of the sundea is when the ice cream starts to melt, it's like soupy, heavenly mess! You take a little soupiness on the spoon, scoop a little topping and enjoy! Now, hot fudge or caramel, that's the big decision. Me? I prefer the caramel, it sticks to the sides and you have to lick it for a while to get it all off the cup. The enjoyability factor is amazing! The hot fudge sundea, while good, is no match for the caramel. It gets a bit sweet after a while. So, McDonald's Hot Fudge Sundea: 3 out of 4 paws. Caramel Sundea: 4 out of 4 paws, it's the treat that keeps on giving! Gotta go....PEACE!

Sigh............

3 words-cold Chicken McNuggets

Reason to hate Brady #6,234,546

Well, let me just tell you, folks, Brady is a brat bent on making sure that I NEVER enjoy myself. Saturday, my mom takes the brat to get his flippin' hair cut. On her way home she stopped at McDonald's to get her precious little baby (that would be me) a nice Sausage McMuffin from McDonald's. As she receives my breakfast through the drive-thru window she gets a call: Come and get Brady, he's a demon and we refuse to cut his hair for fear of our lives. Or something like that. She had to drive back to the groomer and get his stupid little butt! So they come strolling in a half hour later and guess what? Cold Sausage McMuffin!! Unacceptalbe!!!! We all know my palatte is delicate and my food must be eaten at OET (optimal eating temp) And if that don't beat all, he got a bite of it! Rewarding bad behavior? I just don't agree with the way he's being raised. He's been allowed to run amuck and I think it's time I put a stop to it. I draw the line at MY food being served cold and then being forced to share it. I gotta go, I have to plan this..........PEACE!!!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!

That stupid little brat does a one line entry and he gets to be a diary pick?? Me, I compose art, slave over my food reviews, pour my heart out and for what?? From now on I'll just say stupid crap like "I'm so cute" and get all kinds of accolades. un-ac-cept-able. He already thinks he can do anything he wants because he's cute, this is going to go straight to his head! Unreal. I think I'll go paint a white stripe down his back so people will think he's a skunk and scream and run. That'll take him down a notch!

In other news, I have a review for you. Grandma's Chicken Salad, Wyandotte, Michigan. Grandma's Chicken Salad consists of white meat chicken, chopped up eggs and mayonaisse. One would think that it sounds to simple to be really good but they would be wrong. The chicken is shredded perfectly, no big chunks. Then the egg is chopped to approximately 3/8th's of an inch chunks, mixed with the perfect amount of mayo. Grandma served me my chicken salad on toasted white bread and let me tell ya folks, toasting the bread makes a huge difference. It gives the sandwich that texturizing crunch that so many chicken salad's are lacking. All in all a lovely sandwich. 3 1/2 out of 4 paws. She could have gotten all 4 paws but she gave Brady a bite too.

So, did you all hear that Izzy's mom will be visiting my sweet Sunny Lee? I'm so excited for Abby! She's going to get to touch that sweet, beautiful face! And I asked her to please please please give her a big kiss and tell her I love her and it's from me!! My mom is sooooo jealous! Not of the kiss but that Abby gets to go visit all of these wonderful people. Mom's batting around the idea, maybe next summer. Gotta go, PEACE!!!!

Free to a good home

Or not so good home.......doesn't matter to me. Anyone interested in a 10 pound demon? I mean, he only bites sometimes, and if you show him your teeth he'll leave you alone completely. He just doesn't fit in here. He thinks it's OK to climb on mom and grandma's laps, grandpa's lap, I don't care, but now he's overstepping himself. AND he thinks it's OK to try to play with me sometimes. Look brother, I play when I wanna play, period. And know what else?? He doesn't share his food, can you imagine? The end for me was when I awoke from my afternoon siesta and that little punk sneaked onto the chaisse lounge and laid near me!!!! Last straw, I'm done. It's obvious he's incapable of learning my rules. So, anyone interested in the 10 pound spawn of Satan long haired chihuahua that has latched onto MY family like a barnacle, let me know. I repeat, let ME know, not mom.

In other news, guess who has a birthday Thursday?! You guessed it! Yours truly. I think mom is going to take me and a group of friends to this cool place where you ride go-carts and play putt putt and all kinds of other cool stuff! Then to Red Robin for dinner. Big burgers and a free sundea for the birthday boy! If anyone is interested in joining me just let me know, I'll sneak into mom's purse and put the plane fare on her Visa Card! PEACE!!

LIVE!!!!! From the chaisse lounge in Wyandotte, Michigan!

It's Food Review with Louie Armatis!!!!!

Thank you, thank you! It's good to be back! My lazy butt mother finally got me the laptop I've been begging for so I'm BACK!!!! And let me tell ya folks, do I have a lot to say. First, the review: A compare and contrast of the Burger King Sausage Muffin and the McDonalds Sausage McMuffin. Burger King has recently added to it's menu the Sausage Muffin, it can be found on the dollar menu. I gotta tell you folks, while the Burger King Sausage Muffin is a tasty little morsel it does NOT COMPARE to the Sausage McMuffin at McDonalds!!! The sausage at McDonalds is fresh, the muffin has a little crisp to it and the cheese is perfectly melted, ALWAYS. The Burger King Sausage Muffin is good but the sausage could definitely be fresher, the muffin needs to be toasted just a little more and they need to melt the cheese on it before handing it out the window. All in all the BK Sausage Muffin gets 2 out of 4 paws.

In other news, Brady is as bad as ever. He's taken to hopping on the chaisse lounge when I get up to get a drink or something. For this he shall suffer! More than once he has witnessed the Fists of Fury. Little wuss ran away to grandpa screaming! Hehehe. I have learned though, if I want him off the chaisse lounge, or off the couch alltogether all I have to do is stand near him and bark REAL loud. He runs like a bat out of hell! Fitting for a demon, don't you think?

I see on Facebook that my sweet Sunny Lee's log cabin is coming along splendidly. I can't wait, I have my bag packed, my housewarming gift ready and I am ready to go!! I have been saving train fare in my change jar for a while now, I think I have like, 30 bucks in there!

Anywhoo, mom says I have to close up shop because that stinkin' little brat keeps hopping up near her and yawning. I told her "So go to bed, I don't need you sitting here hovering over me anyway" She says, "Lou, how are you going to plug in the computer to charge it? You can't reach." She's so mean. Anyways, good night all! Can't wait to fill you in on more tomorrow! PEACE!!!!

I should be retiring, instead I work harder than ever!

Well hello, hello, hello everyone! How is everyone? Me, you ask? Well let me tell you. There has been a fair bit of unfairness going on here lately. You see, grandpa had surgery 3 weeks ago, he came home, I had to take care of him. You know, follow him around the house, help him eat, take him in the yard. Stuff like that. Then grandma didn't feel good. Can you imagine? I mean, who would feed me? Who would take me to McDonalds? I had to make sure that woman got better. I stayed right by her side for an entire week, helping her keep her strength up by holding me on her lap and feeding me. I monitored her to make sure her blood pressure stayed OK and that she was taking her perscribed meds properly. Then, Friday that stinkin' puppy went and got neutered (hahahahaha). He also had 3 baby teeth pulled and his precious little toenails clipped. When he came home it was like he was thrown through a woodchipper. I said "Whatsa matter Brady? Don't you feel good? Why don't you go hump one of your toys, that'll make you feel better. Hehehehe" He said "Shut up Louie" I said "You shut up" he said "No, you shut up" I said "No, you" he said "No, you". Mom said, "BOTH of you shut up!!!" We both went "Hmph" and turned our backs. She always sticks up for him. Anyways, Sunday rolls around, EVERYBODY leaves the house. Guess who's stuck taking care of that rotten little brat. And believe me, HE IS A BRAT! He kept saying "Louie, could you get me a drink?" "Louie, could you fix my blanket?" "Louie, rub my little back" I'll tell ya, folks, it's been a tough month for me. Yesterday mom called in the morning to make sure everything was OK and I answered the phone "First floor nurses station". I better get some compensation, that's all I'm sayin. And then Bean, that cat had us all so worried it was all I could do to perform my nursing and food critic duties. Then he comes rolling in smelling like mold and he's all "I was locked in a basement, so what??" Then he bites my poor sweet Sunny Lee on the head!! He's lucky that he had a bad week because that would have earned him a visit from Yours Truly and the Fists of Fury, but I digress. Anywhoo, gotta go, food review will be coming soon! Probably corned beef!! PEACE!!!

A Call To Action

Attention Dogsters! I need your help! I have my hat, pipe, monacle and overcoat ready!! We need to get to PA and find Bean, STAT!!! We will organize ourselves, create a grid of a hundred mile radius and comb the area. Inch by inch. We WILL find Bean. My Sunny is worried about him, and when she's worried, I'm worried. Don't worry, my love. There is a guy around the corner that has a helicopter, I will assign him the task of flying up above with infrared and scanning every square inch of PA if he has to. We will do what we have to do! I have to go pack now, see you all in PA, PEACE!!
