I was love-tagged!

Doolin, my boyfriend from the U.S. love-tagged me! (blush) He said I was a nice doggie! The rules of the game is that when you get love-tagged, you get a message from a doggie saying what they like about you! Then it's your turn, you have to tag three doggies/kitties that you think are great, and why! You can send a message or a rosette, or both!

I have such a great life!

You know, my mommies love me so much. I thought I would take the time to write and say how happy I am that they give me such a nice home. I know I am more fortunate than lots of other puppies and doggies who are in shelters, and it makes me sad to think about them. But I am so happy that my two moms chose me as theirs. I have a nice bed to sleep on, and two fantastic nans who cuddle me whenever I am visiting. I get yummy chicken with my kibble for every meal. They make sure I go to the vet every year to get a checkup, plus whenever anything goes wrong. I go to the groomer every 6 weeks so I can look pretty. They comb my fur out so I don't get tangles. They walk me every day. I get to go lots of places that are exciting, like seeing icebergs, or going to Cape Spear. I even get to go on Nature Walks at Kent's Pond, or on the barrens in Portugal Cove with my dogsitter Jill. I get to go to Doggie Country Camp with my pal Jason and all the other doggies, Ruxie, Connor, Harold & Eric, and Sammy. I have a great giant cousin, Sonny, who likes me. I have a Poppy who gives me excellent belly rubs.

I love my life, mommies. Thank you for getting me.

love Rudy

I'm ONE!

Hi everypup!

I am one year old! I had an awesome weekend of fun and playing and treats, all because of this thing they call "birthday!" I'm not sure what it means, but they kept saying "one" and "good puppy" and giving me prezzies! I got a new tennis ball/football, and a purple mouse toy. The ball squeaks and bounces, it's really cool and mommy Sarah gave it to me. Auntie Jill gave me the purple mouse and it squeaks. I've already torn the stuffing out of it and now mommy Sarah has to perform surgery on it so I can play with it some more. Mama Deb gave me some bully sticks which I love!

But you know what was the best part? I had a birthday party! Can you believe it? Mommy Sarah made up homemade scrapbooked invitations and invited all my favorite people over - Auntie Jill and Uncle Ed, Aunt Sue and Uncle Adam, Nanny and Poppy. It was great! I got to play and run around and eat homemade bacon biscuits that mommy Sarah made for me. Then Uncle Adam took me for a walk. It was the best day ever. If this is what a birthday is about, then I'm all for it!

Thank you everypuppy for the sweet rosettes and stars and birthday wishes. I love them all so much. You all mean so much to me. Oh dear, mommy's getting verklempt again. Silly mommy cries too much - she's so sentimental!

I hope everydoggie is having a good spring. It is rainy here and full of mud. Summer doesn't start until June around here, so it's still kind of cold and damp. That's what Newfoundland is like! At least mommy takes me on walks every day no matter what. I love her so much!

bark to you all soon. Love you all!
Rudy

Wow, I was tagged!

Lovely Miss Annie, Kiki and Buckie tagged me.

Here are the rules:

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!

So here are 7 fun facts about Rudy....
1) I love yogourt, and often share a small container with my mommy. I eat all kinds, vanilla, plain, raspberry, peach. I especially like the probiotic kind.

2) My dog trainer Chris calls me "little girl."

3) I have perfected the art of barking at possible intruders (really just normal people walking up the street) while standing on my hind legs, looking out the front bay window.

4) If I'm in the jeep, I like to try to climb on top of mommy when she's driving. It's distracting, so she either belts me in or takes me in her lap so I can co-drive.

5) I have a little morning routine, where I get up, eat my breakfast, go outside, have a play, and then have a morning nap, all within an hour.

Okay, I tag:

I'll be watching for your posts! Tee hee, this is fun!

I am going on vacation!

In a few days I am going on vacation to my "auntie" Jill's house! She has a husky named Ranger, and she always has other doggies over to visit. It is going to be so much fun! You see, mommy and mama Deb are going south for a vacation for a short spell, and they would never trust my care with just anyone, but auntie Jill loves to take care of doggies, and I love her so it was settled. On Saturday I will get a whole week playing and running with Ranger, and I'll get to snuggle with Jill. I just hope I don't miss the mommies too much. I hope they keep me so busy I won't notice. Mama said something about not wanting to go and leave me, but geez, I think I'm gonna be fine!!!!! What's not to love about playing for a whole week with other doggies?

Aww, I 'spose I'll miss them a bit. :) Don't worry mommies, I'll take care of everything till you get home!

love Rudy

we love Joker

It's been a few days now, seems like longer, that Joker has been at Rainbow Bridge. Mommy Sarah has been sad that he had to leave us so soon, and sad that his daddy Mickey has to try and be strong for Rascal and the rest of the family. It happened so soon, and it doesn't seem fair. Joker was an angel on earth, though, and I know he is an angel up at the Bridge, playing and jokin' around like only Joker can do. We will miss him so much, and we are keeping his wonderful daddy and family in our hearts.

Wow, I am All Fur Fun's Pup of the Week, April 1-7th!

Oh my DOG, I was blessed with such a great honour! Pops (Rascal and Joker's dad) is part of the All Fur Fun group, which decided that I was going to be the Pup of the Week, and then Pops drew me this beautiful graphite portrait! Can you believe it? Mommy is so excited! She thinks it is so true to life (you can see the original photo in my photo book above).

The snow is almost melted here, but we are having another cold snap (see my new weather indicator?). I wish Spring would arrive, I want to smell the grass! A lot of other areas have spring already, I am ready!

Yesterday I had a play date with the huskies Ranger and Spencer, at my dogsitter Jill's house. We had SO much fun! Even though I'm only small, I think I'm big, and I play with those dogs like I am just as tall as they are! We even went off leash on the barrens for a while, and Jill said I was real good!

I got a new "shoutbox" everypuppy, so be sure to sign it and let me know that you've visited me!
bark to you later!

Oh my dog - I got sick!

Thankfully I'm better now! But it was tremendously yucky - I had uncontrollable diarrhea! My mommies were so worried that they took me to the vet after 48 hours of it, and it was a good thing they did, because puppies are especially prone to getting bacteria in their stomach, which is what happened to me!!! The vet imagines that I ate something bad, like rotted grass under some old snow, or maybe something even more vile like poop! I go to puppy day care a few times a week, and it could have been there that I ate something. They can't keep human eyes on me constantly, bwah ha ha ha ha! Anyhoo, they made me take some antibiotics which mommy mixed up in some yummy wet food for gastrointestinal problems that the vet gave her. Geez, if this is how I get fed (along with chicken and rice) then I should be sick more often! (I barked that to mommy and she glared at me - guess cleaning up after me wasn't so pretty... BOL!)

Anyway, after 5 days of medicine, I am completely better, but needless to say, mommy Sarah won't let me go the length of myself without checking to see if I'm "eating" anything funny. Humph!

Bark to you pups later!

Jack is my valentine!

Check him out - he's the "dog of the week" this week.

We are valentines, which means we are bestest virtual buds, and if we were together in real life we'd hug and play and bark at each other all day long! We even look alike (check out our pics!). It's all in the eyebrows... and the cutesy/bad behaviour we can get away with!

BOL! Aroooooo!
