Tis dat night before Christmas

Arrrrrrrrooooooo.    My French Cousin (Messi) came for Christmas!

Before he arrived, I hid all my good toys (as his nickname is "Messi da Destroyer") but I left him some balls to play wiff since it is Christmas Eve.  

Chomp, chomp, chomp!

Messi just loves to chew on bones and balls.

Going, going..... gone!

Messi:   Oops.... I dropped it.  Can you get it for me?

We both can't wait for Santa Paws to arrive and leave us wiff tons of new toys.
Happy Christmas Eve!

Letters to Santa

Mom says dat Santa is real busy reading all of our letters to him.   Did you write a letter to Santa?

I did and I asked him for a new ball.

  

Santa, please give me a new ball.  
I've been mostly good dis year.

Look at dis old and dirty ball wiff a tooth hole in it.
Don't you think dat I deserve it?  

What do you want for Christmas?

Monday's A+ Check-Up

Dis morning I went to my Dogster for a ck-up.   Mom was a bit worried dat my mouth and gums looked speckled and dat maybe my 'C' (melanoma) had spread.  

No Worries!!!!   I just have a speckled mouth.  I'm so special.   

I tell you, Mom notices everything and I thinks she worries too much.   

When we got home, I was ready to play wiff my new red squeaky toy dat I got from Chewy last week.

Arrrrrrrroooooooooooo!
Wanda play?

I'm sooooo... fast dat I break (blur) da camera!   Hehehe.

We are still hoping and praying dat they got it all when dey removed da little mass on my poor paw pad.    We also talked to da vet (in da same practice dat has training in Chinese natural herbs and holistic stuff) and have started taking a mushroom supplement and some powder stuff to help boast my immune system and make it strong to fight off any 'C' cells that might wanta return.

Flashback Friday - Happy Fall

Yippy!

Today is da 1st Day of Fall and  
for me, it's all about da leaves.

Mom even calls me "Mr. Leaf" when I bring da leaves into da house.   Here's a tip, if you roll in them first, dey will get in your furs really good.  Den you can bring more of dem into da house.  Just sayin'.

I just luv da blowing kind.

What I like best is playing wiff Mr. Leaf Blower.

It's always great fun when Auntie D gets him out and den  sends da leaves flying all over da yard.  I can't wait to catch me some flying leaves butt Mom says da we have to wait for more leaves to fall.

Oh, oh, oh.... I just found an oldie but goodie video of me playing wiff da leaf blower.

Lights, Camera, Action!

Da Day after Irma

Arrrrroooooo!  Irma is gone.

We got about 4"s of rain and wind, but dat's all.   I had wet paws and didn't like going outside in all da wind and rain but by da afternoon, it was sunny.  We were lucky and I'm still sending up prayers for all dos affected by Irma and Harvey.





Since it was so sunny, Mom and Auntie D decided it was a good day for a ride in da car.   When they asked me if I wanted to go, I jumped at the chance.   Ya see, I LOVE going for rides in da car and couldn't wait to see where we are going.

Sometimes, I try to get into da front seat but Mom says dat I can't drive cuz my paws will not reach da petals.   Drat.

OMD...... we went to my all time favorite place!
We went to da BEACH!!!

Funny how it is always a beautiful day
after a storm.

I made lots of new friends at da beach.
All da peeps think I'm handsome.
Trips to da beach is always an ego booster for me.

I hope dat you had a grrrrrrrrreat day.

Pees.... we are still keepin' and eye on Hurricane Jose but Mom's insurance guy says dat it won't be a problem.   "Trump will not let him into da country wiffout da proper papers and dos have blown away".
(just a little insurance adjuster humor).

Happy Birthday Phenny

PAWty ON!

I wish I could be dar to PAWty wiff you!

Pees......  Irma update.   

She continues to head west of us.

Prayer for every-buddy
in Irma's path.

Irma - Out of da Cone (for now)

Dis morning, Irma has shifted to da west.   Dis is really bad news for all my furfriends in Florida, as Irma is project to cruise right up through Florida.

It is better news for us, as we are no longer in da cone of uncertainty and none of us like da cone.    Right now we are only supposed to get rain and wind from the outer bands of dis massive storm.

Things can change, so I'm still on da job and continue to track Irma's whereabouts for Mom.

Pees.... my doggie camp leader (mom says "petsitter"), Auntie Sue, has a daughter in Houston and her son is in Florida.    Her daughter and family are okay in Houston.   Prayers for her son in Florida.

For everyone in Irma's path.

Irma - Cone of Uncertainty

Today, I am here to report dat we are in da "Cone of Uncertainty".

Da governor has declared a  State of Emergency for all counties in NC.
All road construction has been suspended so all lanes throughout the State are open for anyone evacuating through our State.

Hummmm......maybe I should get my Chewy box-boat ready.

Stay Safe Everyone

All eyes are now on Irma

I'm keepin' a close watch on Irma for Mom.
She says dat she can't watch anymore so I'm on da job (and have my favorite buoy toy close by).

In the meantime, we've been gettin' tons of rain and I'm tired of havin' wet paws.
If Irma visits us with more rain and high winds, loads of trees will likely topple since we are already so saturated.  I'm not sure what saturated means butt da man on da telly seems concerned.

Y'all, in Irma's path, Stay Safe.

Pees...     I still have my paw candle lit for all my furfriends dat are still recovering from Harvey.

Wacky Holiday Challenge - Finale

Arrrrrrrrrroooooo it's my last day for da Wacky August Holiday Challenge!

Today's holiday is:

• National Eat Outside Day
• National Trail Mix Day

_________________________________
Since it is National Eat Outside Day, we decided to go on a Picnic.  

My job was to scout for da pawfect location.  

Suddenly I came across someone else who was also looking to eat outside today.

He claimed that he was here so I decided to let him have his way.   It's too pretty of a day to argue wiff a hard-shelled turtle.  
They can be soooo... snappy.

Anyways, I moved on and found another pawfect spot for our picnic.

I'm ready to chow down!   Dat bread looks delicious.

I hope you enjoy dining out today!

For all of you dat participated in the Wacky Holiday Challenge, High Paws!
