01/20/12 Dear Dogster

Dear Dogster,

It has been mentioned that you are once again making changes to our beloved Dogster/Catster site. I’m not too sure I am happy about this especially since we encountered that terrible case of fleas and ticks this past summer when changes were implemented, so I can only hope that this time any changes made would be well thought out and tested prior to doing them.

Anyhoodle, since you are messing with the site anyhow, how about revamping the gift shop to have not only steaks, but chicken, cheese, chops, salmon, bacon, duck, turkey, venison and other types of MEATS and cheeses that we could enjoy? In other words why not have a MEATZ shop so we can send a variety of tasty foods to all of our pals all through out the year.

I can hear you now saying “Puff, we have hot dogs and hamburgers for Fourth of July and Turkey for Thanksgiving”, which is true, but I suggest having a variety of meatz and cheese ALL the time. I would love to send and receive a tasty chicken or a chunk of yummy cheese.

Could you please ask your technical experts to get onto this matter right away?

Thank you,

Puffy – Drooling at the thought of a MEATZ gift shop

01/20/12 I've been thinking...

Hi pals,

Is anyone besides me getting tired of steaks? Wouldn't it be nice to have a chicken in the store so we could send a nice chicken as a pressie to our pals and not to mention receiving one on our page also? Maybe some pork and lamb chops would be refreshing also. I also hear salmon, bisson, duck and venison are quite tasty also.

Should we suggest that Dogster have a MEATZ store where we could choose different MEATZs (and cheeses) instead of just the steak?

01/16/12 Another gloomy day

Hi pals,

There was no adventure today as it was cold and drizzling again so Coco and I slept on the daybed while momma tried to clean and straighten up the sewing room. She had all kinds of stuff piled high on the daybed from out of the closet, threw out some stuff and wondered where to put more material that she has. Quite frankly I think momma has too much material but don’t tell her I said that because she would disagree.

01/15/12 Our adventure

Hi pals,

The sun was playing in the clouds this morning and the sky was dropping some drizzle our way. All in all it was a pretty gloomy day. I wanted to stay in bed and snuggle with momma but she went out for lunch with one of her girlfriends.

When momma came home late this afternoon daddy told her that Coco and I found the gate open and took ourselves for an adventure. He said he happened to look out the front windows and there we were on the side walk in front of the house – BOL, BOL

Momma almost had a coronary when she heard especially since neither of us had collars on with our tags. Our neighborhood has changed a lot in these last few months so not everyone would know where we belong.

Anyhoodle, Coco and I aren’t telling momma how long we had been loose, but now momma is acting like a crazy person checking and rechecking the gate latch to make sure it is closed and secured – BOL, BOL. She told daddy he would have been in BIG trouble had she come home and found us missing.

01/02/12 Anyone want a kitty?

I was up on the big bed with Coco and momma watching the Rose Parade today, minding my own business and not bothering anyone. Suddenly, Simba Blue my kitty brother jumped up on the bed and flopped himself between me and momma. I sniffed his nose and looked to see where he had his front paws because he is known to swat me with them. I wasn’t happy with what I saw because they were less than one inch from my behind. I looked at momma and she told Simba that he better not swat me, so I laid my head down and hoped for the best.

And do you know what happened next? All of you who guess he swatted me in the behind are correct. So I jumped up and went after him. Yes, I was ready to fight him and let him know that I have had enough of him bullying me. Simba jumped up and went flying off the bed and I ran to the edge of the mattress and told him in no uncertain words that he better stay away.

Momma grabbed me and scolded ME!!!! Can you believe that? Apparently going after either of the kitties in this establishment is frowned upon even if one of them instigated something. All I was doing was telling that big bully Simba that he better pick on someone else. He never picks on Coco or Bay-Ling and momma tells me that’s because I am the only one who reacts to him and he is just trying to get me to play with him. If that is his idea of playing he better go find someone else because I don’t like it.

Puffy – I’m mad and not going to take it any longer

12/30/11 Santa came

I forgot to tell everyone that Santa came to our house and left new stuffies for me. I got a blue lion with a purple mane, a fox that doesn’t have any stuffing, a white cow and a raccoon without stuffing.

What momma?

The raccoon and cow are Coco’s stuffies.

Oh yeah, sure, as I was saying I got four stuffies – HeHeHe

Coco claimed the two rubber Christmas chickens we received in the mail and she won’t let me play with either of them. You should hear Henrietta’s squeak it sounds like a duck and I want it so badly but Coco is guarding it with her life. Daddy asked momma to PLEASE pick up the rubber toys because their squeaks are loud and he doesn’t like being woken up in the middle of the night because Coco is squeaking on of them – BOL, BOL. Last night momma put us outside to do our business and while we were gone she picked up the toys. When Coco came back inside she went to the daybed where she had left the chickens but they were gone. You should have seen Coco having a fit because she couldn’t find her chickens – BOL, BOL

In the time I have lived here, Coco and I have had an agreement that the treats would be hers and I would get the stuffies. This agreement has worked out really well until now because she has broken it by claiming the two squeaky rubber chickens.

Coco says that technically they are NOT stuffies because they do not have stuffing in them so she has a right to say they are hers. I don’t know if this is right or not, all I know is that I want to play with those chickens!

12/29/11 Down loading videos

Momma has tried to put a new video on my page showing me ripping open a package received for Christmas but for some reason Dogster isn’t allowing it. Is anyone else having problems down loading videos?

12/23/11 Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

Please let me tell you MY sides of the story before you decide if I should be on the Naughty or Nice list.

In my defense I would like to say that Coco has been taunting me with that Busy Bone she has been carrying around for weeks now. She has been consumed with it and if I get anyplace close by she starts to yap in my face telling me that it’s hers and that I have to leave it alone. At no time during these two weeks has she even nibbled on the Busy Bone instead she sleeps with it and carries it everyplace she goes. She even takes it to the back door when she has to go outside to do her business.

Anyhow, I could not take it any longer so today when she took my raccoon toy I thought it was only fair to take her Busy Bone, so while she was making MY raccoon squeak, I hobbled over to her Busy Bone and took it and started eating it. Let me tell you little Miss Princess was UPSET! Her eyes looked like they were going to pop right out of her head. I only nibbled on it long enough for her to drop MY raccoon and then I went and rescued it from her and she ran and got her Busy Bone.

Quite frankly I think she got what she deserved and I don’t think what I did should in any way put me back onto the Naughty list. I hope you agree and look forward to leaving you some really nice treats when you visit our home on Christmas Eve. I suspect you get pretty tired of milk and cookies so how about some Salsa, chips and Margaritas?

What momma?

Oh sorry Santa, momma says no drinking and driving so how about a nice roast beef sandwich and Pepsi?

12/21/11 Arleenton as a house bunny

Coco and I came in from outside and looked up on the formal dining room table where Arleenton is being held in a small pet carrier until the tempertures warm up outside. There she was on her side not moving.

Momma, you better check on Arleenton we barked.

Momma goes over to Arleenton and calls her name - Arleenton. ARLEENTON!! There was no reaction. Momma's heart was thumping because it looked like Arleenton had died.

Momma opened the door on the carrier and that startled Arleenton who just happened to be sleeping - BOL, BOL

That ole bunny is liking it in the house. She is gaining some weight back and appears to be happy. I think we should just let her stay in the house. We don't even use the formal dining room table so why not let Arleenton stay?

Puffy - Will this put me on the "NICE" list Santa?????

12/11/11 Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

Could you please explain the "NAUGHTY and NICE" list you have going? Do you grade using the curve when figering out which side to place pups on?

In my defense, I ask you to please put yourself in my shoes before deciding if I have been NAUGHTY or NICE.
