Thoughtful Thursday Archives

Surely they make this in my size!?!?!

There are rumors floating around the house that there's going to be a celebration later this year...we'll all be included, right???  I think I'll hold off ordering my dress until I lose a few lbs, whatcha think???

New York City??? Get a rope.

We're distressed.  Really, really distressed.  This morning we caught our Mom looking for flights to go to NEW YORK CITY.  Why, you ask?  Well, it seems Opy, Benson and Angel Charlie's pawrents are coming from Australia and our Mom thinks she's going to go meet them WITHOUT us.  How could she??  If anyone should get to go it's us dogs, I mean, without us she wouldn't even KNOW them.  It's not like you could be a dog blogger secretary WITHOUT DOGS.

We're so offended we're speechless.  Almost.

Hiking...not with us.

OK, well, as if our blog wasn't already so far behind you've forgotten our names now our Mom has decided to start another project.  She has joined The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training to help raise money for Cancer research. 

What does this mean to us??  It means that she's going to be at the gym a lot more because this May she will be hiking the Big Bend National Park with the Team.  You guys know our Mom, she's not exactly a premier athlete so it's going to take some getting used to.  We're just hoping she doesn't break something.  I bet we hear lots of moaning and whining about aches and pain. 

Since it's for a good cause we're going to be supportive even though it's going to cut into our quality time.  If you want to sponsor Mom for the hike you can check out her fundraising page here:

http://pages.teamintraining.org/ntx/bend10/izzarelli

Donations benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and are tax deductible.  (whatever that means)

If you want to offer up your human to spend quality time with us since we'll be neglected let us know.  We'll send you our address and you can put them on a plane, train or bus to us.

PS  Mom is saying we won't be neglected and that we can practice hiking with her, but we aren't holding our breath.

Go Saints & Colts!!!

Football & Girl Bonding

I LOOOOOVE watching football with Mom, we had so much fun and there were tons of munchables all day yesterday!

We had some girl bonding....

Cheered for our team....well, one of our teams.  We're Saints AND Colts fans...BOTH WINNERS!

Of course the boys had to intrude on our girl football time...I think they were jealous.

We practiced our tackling with the little one...he's fun.

Now we just have to watch the games today to see who our teams are going to BEAT next weekend!

OK, here's the story.

I was just eating and minding my own business and Miss-Priss-I'm-an-old-ornery-witchy-lady came up and SHOVED me.  She did.  I almost fell over and I DID crash head first into the fridge.  Seriously.  I don't mean the good kind of crash into the fridge where you land in a cake, but the bad kind where you see stars.  So I was just kind of trying to get my balance back and I ACCIDENTALLY pushed her and she all fell over screaming like I had beat her up.  Next thing I knew she attacked my ear like a savage wild animal, ripping and tearing and almost making me bleed all over.  What is a girl to do???  I had to defend myself so I screamed at her and tried to get away, but I guess it LOOKED like I was trying to eat her when really it was all self defense.

That's the true story.

Samantha the Innocent Bystander

PS  It just occurred to me that there are two possible candidates for the title of Miss-Priss-I'm-an-old-ornery-witchy-lady in this house.  I don't mean the spotted cow, I'm talking about the evil terrier one.

Yes, it's January 13th...

and we're just now posting some of our Christmas pictures.  How embarrassing.

Here's our cuzn Ginger looking festive...

We're sending all our good thoughts and hopes to the people and animals of Haiti. 

S-N-O-W

Well, ok, it was on Christmas Eve and now it's January something...again we blame the secretary. Lassie probably never had to deal with this kind of service.

It SNOWED! Not bucketfuls like some of you lucky dogs, but enough to play in and it was soooo much fun.

Our Frosty the Snowman finally didn't look like he was living in the tropics...

I LOVED eating snow...

So easily entertained...

Oh, how did this other very pretty picture of me get in here...  :::blush:::

Snow wrestling...I don't get that at all.

Brother Bear striking a pose...

Me again!

She never shuts up.  She's not my favorite sister right now, we had a throw down over the food bowl.  More later.

Dot-Spot frolicking in the snow....well, standing there at least.

We have like 1,263,879 pics of us in the snow but I'll spare you.  We're hoping it comes back though, and that it's icy so Mom has to stay home with us all day and play in the snow.  A dog can dream.
