2010 Snausage Man-Sled Race

Below is a link to a YouTube (TM) video covering the 2010 Snausage Man-Sled Race.  The winner of this race was presented a check for $5000 to go to a charity of his/her choice.  Paw-sonally I think the winner should have also gotten a lifetime supply of Snausages...just sayin'

Happy Presents Day!

I know that the USA celebrated Presidents' Day on Monday - but I got to celebrate "Presents Day" on Sunday.  That's right Sunday was my barkday and my square valentine Eric did not forget to spoil me!

The postman brought all kinds of goodies!

Here I am surrounded by my loot:

I could not wait to open up my packages but I needed help:

It is always polite to open the card first (that is what my mom said) - look at the card!!! It was paw made just for MOI!!!

I think Riley was jealous that I got a special red rose from Eric Square - when you press it it says "I love you" - oh Eric! I love you too!

In paw-paration for perhaps a date(?), Eric sent me this BEAUTIFUL coat and a matching purse. I feel like a cute little ladybug in my coat.  I also got this super duper "food game" - MY Eric knows that the way to a Chihueagle's heart is through her stomach!

I had to demonstrate my food game skills and my jacket outside so that Riley wouldn't try and get in on the action.

Here's a closer look:

Thank you so much for all of my wonderful gifts - I am one happy and stylin' chihueagle!

An exhausting end to a most wonderful PRESENTS day.

An ode to my Valentine 2010

An ode to my Valen-square:


Roses are red,
Without you I am blue.


Here's a snog & a squillion kisses,
Because I am sweet on you!

Pawsitive Thoughts for my furr-iend.

Hello friends.
Today I am sending special pawsitive thoughts out to our friend Mini the beagle. She is one of my mom's patients and our special friend.  Last week she had to go to the emergency hospital because she had a blood problem.  Well the good news is that she is home!

What makes Miss Mini so special? Well besides being a beautiful girl she also lives in a house with a JRT just like I do! Her JRT sister is Maggie:

The picture above is of Maggie and my (sigh) brother playing in the park a couple of years ago.
On Sunday we took a car ride to go and visit her in the hospital.

Unfortunately we didn't get to go in and see her - I think mom wanted her all to herself!

Maybe if I offered her one of my canine cannoli it would help her get better?

I thought I better try one just in case....

Besides - she can have Riley's cannoli.

Anyway, please send some pawsitive thoughts to our friend for a speedy recovery; she is very special to us and we want her in good health!  We love you Mini!

Mom did this cool video that she wanted to share with you all...

Mission accomplished

Hello blog friends.  I know it has been a while and I trust that you all had a most wonderful holiday season.  So the title of today's blog is "mission accomplished."  What mission do I speak of? Well, some of you know that my pawrents were training for a big race called the "Goofy Challenge."  Completion of the challenge requires finishing the Walt Disney World half marathon (13.1 miles/21 km) then finishing the Walt Disney World full marathon the next day (26.2 miles/42'ish km).  The race took place this past weekend in Orlando, Florida during an unseasonable "arctic blast" cold snap with temperatures as low as 25*F.  Neither the chilly temperatures nor the sleet nor the rain could keep my pawrents from their mission - I am so proud of them.

Here are some pictures from the race:

Eeyore & Winnie the Pooh (note it is dark because the race started at 5:45am)

Above is a picture of mom & dad after the marathon sporting their medals with Pluto.

Below is a picture of mom sporting her bling!

pee-ess: I figured it was okay to blog about my pawrents' race because Goofy is a dog after all : )

New York! New York!

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit some of my NY pals and my *sweetie* Eric, well flat Eric in the city that never sleeps - New York Cit-tayyyy!

Believe me when I tell you that flat Eric was indeed there - he flew all the way over the big pee I tell you!
(although he appears invisible in these pictures - maybe invisibility is a side effect of jet lag?)

Here is a cute picture of Asta welcoming us into her home on a rainy day.  Flat Eric said he was sorry that he brought the rain with him but I think the rain was from the tears of the other DWB friends that were unable to make it to the big apple.

Below is a picture of flat Eric and Asta playing hide and seek with a paper bag.

We took the Amtrak train from Beantown to NYC. Unfortunately, Riley and I had to shrink ourselves to go unnoticed by the conductor.  Since it was a bit wet outside the group decided to stop for a "cap-paw-cino"

After our hot drink we then decided to stroll along 5th avenue to see the Christmas windows.  Unfortunately the weather insisted on not playing nice so we ducked into a really neat store called Takashimaya.  They have a lot of really neat Japanese articles there and a booootiful floral department!

Takashimaya

This was the only picture that we could get before we got disciplined for posing with the posies.  After taking a tea break in the fancy tea shoppe downstairs we attempted to stroll along 5th Ave again before heading home to Beantown.

Thank you to Ami, George, Asta, flat Eric,  and the 2-leggeds for a wonderful day!!

One last pic of me passed out on my lamb and much expanded after eating the NYC cookies that Eric bought me...nom nom nom nom...
