Can You See Me Now?

I glow!! Well, sorta. My dad came up with glow-in-the-dark collars for me and he even made me a coat with a stripe that glows in the dark. Since it's so dark out here in the country, Mom & Dad have always put a collar on me that has tags that make a jingling noise when I walk/run - that way they always hear where I am. When I'm quiet they know I'm up to trouble! BOL. Anyway, now they can see me (the glowy bits, anyway). AND I can see my Rottweiler cousin, Jazz, who has yet to put two and two together. Let's just say she never knows what hits her! BOL. Dad's gonna update his site soon to show off his new stuff: http://www.modruff.com/ Let me know what you think!

Bark ya later!

Big Change

Well, it looks like the summer of change. My dad moved the MODRuff studio to my grandpawrents country home so now we basically live here. I'm not sure how I feel yet. It's quiet but I love all the sights and scents a city has to offer! Plus I miss meeting new dogs. I had a bout of diarrhea when we stayed in the city for a couple days and the vet said it was because of the change in location. Go figure! My grammy has a Rottweiller puppy named Jasmine (I call her Jas) who is now bigger than me! I am crossing my paws that I will always be able to outrun her :) My grammy also has a shi-tzu named PJ who is the queen of begging at the dinner table! She cries and pleads and stands on her hind legs. I like to lie under the table in case of yummy falling scraps. I've learned that if you're quiet and patient, and really widen those doggie eyes, you will be rewarded!

Time to rest!

Bow wow, was last week ever busy! It started last Sunday with a high tea to support canine cancer. It was an charity event put on by Woofstock, which is an outdoor doggie festival here in Toronto. There were doggies there who had survived cancer and some humans there in memory of their loved ones who had passed away. I was in the fashion show and got to model my MODRuff Sport coat & Dragon coat. It was a great time for a barkwhile cause and everyone left with tummies full of treats!

The week then ended with Woofstock's festival, which was held on Saturday & Sunday. They closed a couple blocks of downtown Toronto just for us doggies! Mum & Dad had a booth for MODRuff where they debuted their new martingale collar along with their coats. They designed the collar b/c I LOVE to tug. Hey, I'm a terrier, what can I say? :)

Anyway, it was the HOTTEST weekend of the year so far but it was great to see so many dogs with their humans enjoying themselves. What's funny is that most of us dogs were interested in sniffing for treats instead of playing with each other!! I was in the fashion show both days, modelling my MODRuff gear, which was tons of fun. My uncle Rowan was babysitting me so after I modelled and hung out at the booth and explored the festival I went back to his place to nap in some A/C!
