Happy Thanksgiving

Hey Pals,

Caileigh and I have moved into our new house.

We'll both have to bark about that a little later.

Right now I want to wish all of my American dogster pals and their families a wonderful thanksgiving.

This year, my Mom's sister isn't coming up to visit, so we won't be having a turkey and celebrating a second thanksgiving. I'm not too happy about missing out on more turkey.

That's okay, Christmas is at our house this year and that means lots of leftovers for me and Caileigh!!!

Enjoy your families!!!

Dog of the Day!!!

OMD!!!

Dad called Mom while he was on his way to work to tell her that I was dog of the day. I started jumping and howling, and then Caileigh joined in.

We're so happy.

Mom's going to make me a special breakfast. This is going to be a day filled with great treats!!!

Thanks to all of my wonderful pals for sending me messages and rosettes today.

Thanks to Redford and pack for the awesome graphic.

I also have a few new friend requests, so that's just the coolest.

Celebrate with me today, pals!!!

Merry Christmas

Hey Pals,

Caileigh and I have been so busy this holiday season.

We hosted Christmas at our house. Both Caileigh and I were busy preparing good food and drinks and making sure that everyone were having a good time.

We even had our cousin, Bailey, visit. He's Boykin Spaniel.

Caliegh and I wanted to take this time to wish all of you and your families a wonderful Christmas season and all the best in 2013!!!

My brother, Hart

Hey Pals,

Guess what?

My brother, Hart, showed at Westminster this morning!!!!

We're super proud of him. I posted a photo of him in the ring. The photo was taken by our dogster pal's Lucy and Daisy's Mom. She's at the show.

She also got to visit with Hart in the benching area.

Way to go, HART!!!!

Winner's Dog

Hey pals!!!

So my bro, Hart, won Winner's Dog at Westminster yesterday. It wasn't best in breed or best in show, but we're proud of him just the same.

We watched the video feed from the show and he looked really good.

Winner's Dog is awarded to the top non-US Champion. He has his Canadian Championship but not his US Championship.

Dogster pals, Daisy and Lucy's Mom, Yvette, was at the show and she visited with Hart. I have some great photos of her and Hart together. It was so great that she was able to visit with him.

I heard that he had a great time.

We're very proud of Hart!!!

Thank You!!

Hey pals,

Thank you all so much for thinking of me yesterday on my birthday.

I got lots of pawmail and rosettes. Thanks to Freckles and Redford and pack for the great graphics.

In Freckles graphic, the bear is trying to eat my lunch and cake.

You all are the best!!!

Today, Mom called Dad at work to tell him that our neighbour just knocked on the door. Mom was worried that the neighbour was going to complain about my barking. You see, I like to be on the bed in the spare room, which is at the front of the house. When people walk by I like to bark at them.

Some of you may know that we recently moved into a new house. None of our backyards have a fence yet separating us from our neighbour. The man that knocked on our door also has a dog. A maltesse named Happy. We see Happy from time to time when he ventures out back to do some business.

Well, the man wasn't knocking on our door to complain, but instead to ask if we had seen Happy. Turns out they left the house this morning and Happy was still out back.

Dad's heart sank at the news. Dad immediately told Mom to check in a couple of places. Our streets aren't that busy but not far is a very busy road. If Happy had gone in that direction he could get hit. Dad told Mom to check.

Mom went and reported back that Happy wasn't on the side of the road anywhere.

Dad felt helpless. He was at work, over an hour away from home. He wanted to leave and help look for Happy. Mom could hear our neighbours calling for him. Mom went to some of our other neighbours to see if they had seen Happy or took him in.

Good news, pals. Happy was home the entire time. He was locked in a closet.

We were all so happy to hear that Happy was happy and safe. BOL!!!

Thanks again for all the birthday wishes.

Your pal, The Rye Rye!!
