THANKS EVERYBODY!! (click on link)

I am SOO not a happy camper!

Mom took the cushions off the couch today to get it ready for when Doo comes home on Thurs after her surgery. This way she won't jump on it when she wants to lay on it, but unfortunately it is SUPER uncomfortable. Since I'm the couch potato king (notice the word COUCH), I don't think I should have to suffer just cause Doo is. I got up on it about 1/2 dozen times and jumped down immediately. Giving mom some credit, she DID put blankies under the sheet she uses to keep our dog hair off the couch to make it softer, but it isn't as soft as the cushion itself. I love my sister and I guess I can suffer through it for a few weeks, but Doo better get well ASAP so things can get back to normal in the house. ;) BOL

Our hearts are broken...

Our dear friend Izzy B crossed the Rainbow Bridge today and God welcomed her with open arms. She left pawprints on every heart she touched and will be missed dearly. Sending kisses up to you Miss Izzy B. We love you.

My Gotcha Day

Hi Everybody! How is everybody doing? Did everybody recover from the Talk Like A Pirate Day yesterday? Did anybody hve any wild and crazee pawties? BOL

I wanted to take a minute and thank all my pals for helping me celebrate my Gotcha Day on Sunday. I can't believe I've been with mom and Doo 6 years already! Seems just like yesterday that mom and grandmom drove to Houston to pick me up. How time flies. :)

Thank you one and all so much for the pressies, pictures, rosies, gifts and well wishes you all sent me. I appreciate it so very much. I hope I didn't forget anyone, but if I did please let me know so I can add your name to the list...

Hi Everybody, I just wanted to take a minute to thank each and every one of you for all my birthday wishes, presents, rosettes, and pictures. I appreciate you all thinking of me today. I hope everyone had as super a day as I did! I treasure my friendship with each one of you. Thanks!!

I forgot to say my thank yous...

Hi Everybody...

Mom was just realizing that we forgot to thank everybody for all the pressies and well wishes everybody sent me for my Gotcha Day last month. I am so sorry! (Mom gets busy on the puter and forgets everything...good thing our internal clocks are always working or else she'd forget to feed us! BOL)

But I wanted to thank everyone from the bottom of my little Shar Pei heart for thinking of me. I can't beleive I've been with mom and Miss Doo for 5 years already!! Time sure does fly. :o)

I'm off to do my individual thank you notes.

I love all you guyses and girlses!!

Mom forgot!

So mom gets up real early (between 4 and 5 every morning) and logs onto Dogster while Doo and I are eating breakfast. (Most people aren't up playing on Dogster at that unheard of hour.) BOL So then she sometimes goes back to bed, which she did today, and then when she got on the computer a bit ago, she noticed a bunch of pressie notification messages for me. She didn't think anything about it but was wondering what R goin' on (Zaidie talk). So she clicked on one of the pressies and saw that they were congratulating me on my Gotcha Day! Well mom had plum forgot about that! (Gosh, talk about treating me like the red-headed step child! BOL) Mom said she was sorry and gave me lots of treats and hugs and kisses (which she could have kept the hugs and kisses and doubled up on the treats in my opinion!) for my special day! Thanks mom, I forgive you!

What picture do YOU see?

Mom made me a pirate picture the other day and immediately deleted it when she saw that it said "Become a Pirate". (She said that looked stoopid and she didn't even notice it when she was making the picture. She was just so excited that it looked kinda decent with the eyepatch and hat.) Well, then we noticed whenever we log on that the Pirate picture of me comes up over on the left hand side of the page, welcoming us to Dogster for the day (ya'll know which one I mean). WELL...thing is, that picture isn't even in my Dogster Plus photo book. At all. Anywhere! Mom deleted it! How is that possible that its showing up? Hmmm, that's strange. Don't know if anyone has left comments, since the picture isn't there, we're not getting any notifications. BOL Another mystery from HQ, I guess.

YIPPEE! YIPPEE! YIPPEE!!

Our one and only MISS IZZY B from the Mound Minnesnowdah is DOG OF THE DAY! We are so totally beside ourselves with happiness! Stop by her page and give her some BIG Orange lovins' today!! YOU GO GIRL! YOU RAWK!
