Snow Day in March

We didn't have a very snowy winter here in the Northwest, but boy have we been making up for it this first week of Spring. We have had some snow every day, but this morning was the most that has accumulated at our house. We sort of live in a banana-belt. Everywhere around us will get much more snow than we do, so we have to be happy with what we get.

I took the girls and Cooper out in it this morning. I can always count on Cooper and Shimmer to play and have a good time. They are much less inhibited than the other two.



They ran around in the snow, checking it all out and acting like a couple kids on a snow day from school.

Her-Royal-Highness Breezy refused to step in it and kept to the cleared sidedwalk.

She quickly ended up back on the patio, waiting for all the silliness to end.

Stormie knew that I wanted her to come play with me in the snow, and really would have liked to have obliged, but she reaaaalllly hates getting her feet wet and cold. You know, it's just not what a diva does.

Soon, everyone was back up on the patio, waiting patiently for me to get the message that it was time to go back into the nice warm house.

The question I have is: How did you all ever survive living in Spokane...????

MonkeyBoy Picked US!!!

A little over a year ago, I wrote a blog about a visit from our good friend Melissa Williams and how she surprised us with a PetFlys brand traveling bag. You can read that here.

We sent a couple pictures to the company's website of Stormie and Breezy enjoying their new bag and they have been chosen by MonkeyBoy (the company mascot and trend-setter) as the July winners! Check out their pictures on this page.

Pet Flys makes the most awesome airline approved travel bags for your pets, as well as a huge variety of other items that you can purchase from their website. You really need to check them out. If you purchase anything from them, be sure to send them a picture of your little one enjoying their purchase and YOU could be a winner, too!

Stormie and Breezy are going to be very anxiously awaiting their prize package filled with items personally chosen for them by the famous MonkeyBoy himself!!

Dreams Really DO Come True

Good morning everyone, this is Breezy and I have taken over the computer again to share with you how my greatest dream became reality recently.

As you all know, I am most certainly NOT fond of the granddogger known as Bonnie. I steadfastly refuse to reveal why I can't stand her, but suffice it to say it may have something to do with the day she stepped on my head.

We red-heads carry grudges.

Well, I prayed to the good Dog-god every night that I could have my burden lifted and Bonnie would no longer live in MY house. Guess what?!?!? It came TRUE!!!

Bonnie and her mom and dad moved into their own place about three weeks ago. We knew this was going to happen a few weeks in advance and I could hardly contain myself. Mom kept checking the walls of my crate to see if I had a little countdown going on the walls. She could never find one, but that is because I had it under my blanket!!!

Yes, the house is peacefully mine again. Except for that energetic puppy, Cooper, but I have him pretty much under my control. And my sisters and the cat already do my bidding.

Life is pretty good.

I know that Bonnie isn't too far away, as she has returned for a few visits, but I ferociously bark at her and remind her that this is no longer her place of residence and the visit better be brief. This last weekend she returned to have a bath in the dog tub. I thought that was pretty funny as I know how much she HATES getting a bath. I just laid there, watching and gloating.

It is nice to know that if you wish for something long enough it just might come true.

Mom keeps telling me that I better not get too proud of myself, as life has a way of sneaking up and biting you in the behind. Not sure exactly what she's trying to tell me, but I have taken to sleeping with one eye open, keeping a lookout behind me!

Everyone have a GREAT week!

Chihuahua vs. Golden Retriever...Breezy's Point of View

Okay, folks, this is Breezy speaking. Mom is out in the yard doing the pooper scooping and said it was too cold for us to go out with her. It's a stinky job anyway, does she REALLY think we WANT to be out there with her..????

Anyway, I have commandeered the computer to tell you a story that will prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Chihuahuas are smarter than Golden Retrievers.

Friday evening, Bonnie's Dad comes home from work. It is his first payday on his new job. Mom, Dad, Christopher and P.J. decide to go out to dinner to celebrate. We are snuggled nicely in our crates, and stay out of trouble.

Bonnie, not so much. She stays down in the family room, with the paycheck left on the couch.

You know where I am going with this, don't you??

Yep, she ATE THE PAYCHECK! All but a little corner of it.

I'm not sure why she likes to shred and eat paper, but this isn't the first time she has eaten something important.

So, I ask you, would a Chihuahua do that??? I don't think so.

Score so far:

Golden Retriever: Big Fat ZERO!!!!

 

Chihuahua: So many points, it's off the chart. After all, I HAVE figured out how to type up a blog. Even used Spellchecker.

 

So, Christopher has to ask his boss for a replacement check.

 

Mom is mumbling something about automatic deposit. Not sure what that is....but I am getting the hang of this computer pretty good....where is that Google button..???
