Very funny, Girlie.

WROOOOOOO!!!!! Thanks, evfurrybody, for all your good comments about the videos! We're new at it, and the comments encouraged The Girl to make some new videos today. I'll show you those later.



First, I have to tell you that The Girl is telling me that I'm getting a swollen head. I don't really know what that means, but she says she has a photo to prove it.




Oh ha, ha, furry funny, Girlie. Don't let those opposable thumbs go to your head!

In the middle there, when I squat - the camera is shaking even more than usual because The Girl is laughing at me peeing. I don't waste a leg-lift when I'm in my own yard! (or Nanny and Papa's yard, as the case may be)

Notice how in this one I have to break my own path along the fence? I look a bit like a dolphin, don't you think? The Girl flat out refused to make me paths all around the yard, so I've had to work on them myself. I have to patrol the perimeter of Nanny and Papa's yard, it's my job! I know you doggies out there understand!

Finally, this is a great video, because in it, I get ham. And I know that I am tremendously adorable in it, so you'll enjoy it, too. The Girl cannot throw to save her life, but notice the great catch I made right at the start? Then the ham pieces in her hand fell into the sleeve of her hoodie. I don't know how The Girl makes it through the day. I didn't even have to do tricks to get the ham, she just wanted to showcase my absolute cuteness. Wroooo!

Awards! and My Film Debut!

Wrooo, I got this cool award from Stella (swoon!) and from Snoop, Gabbi, Alfie & Rosie (the ultra-super Dughallmor Beagles)!! Here are the rules:

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.


We are SO happy that our furends think of us this way - it means so much to us! Thanks, Stella and Beagles!



Now The Girl is going to take over the post for some less happy talk about awards.


Girlie here. I told Dannan that it was only fair for me to do this part of the post, because it is totally my fault that it needs to be done.


Before Christmas, like November and December and possibly part of October, many of our furends gave us awards. I didn't post any of them. I felt overwhelmed by all the things I had to do, and I kept procrastinating. Then there were so many of them, that I just cowered under the bed and procrastinated some more. I may have thanked some of you, but I might not have thanked anybody.


And I've been putting off making this post, too. I feel tremendously awful that I let this happen - that I didn't thank most (or any) of you for honouring us with awards, that I didn't post about them, that I didn't let Dannan pass them along.


So today, I am biting the bullet and saying to each of you that I am very sorry. We did appreciate that you thought so much of us to give us an award, and we are honoured. We have the best friends that a dog and a Girl can have.


And I am facing the fact that I'm not going to go back and find all the posts with the awards one of these days. It's not going to happen, and I need to be honest about it (with you all and with myself). So I ask you all to forgive me, and not to blame Dannan. He doesn't have thumbs, as you all know. It's all on me.


In an offering to all of you, I'm going to post my first attempts at taking video of Dannan. The videos are of pretty poor quality, but for my first ones, I'm willing to take them. Please enjoy seeing The Little Brown Dog, live and in canine, on location at Nanny and Papa's house!
















When he's jumping at the fence, he's jumping at the birds in the neighbour's tree.


And we are giving the award we got at the beginning of this post to anybody who has given us an award which we haven't acknowledged, and you're still are our friends anyway. Thank you, we love you.


Girlie out.

Out in the snow!

In no particular order...

snow day!

Wrooooooooo! The bloggy is back under my control! Happy Fur-iday, evfurryone!

I am giddy, can you tell? It's because it's been snowing all morning! All three of us doggies went outside today, even couch potato Khavana! And The Girl took pictures to prove it!

I have to survey my dogdom!

Here's one for the album, Girlie! There was a snow flake on the lens, which is too bad. The Girl thinks it might have been a nice one for cropping.

There's Khavana, trying to sneak out of the frame. I think she thinks she has a rep to protect, or something!

This was going to be a better shot of Khav, but between The Girl pushing the little silver button and the picture taking, look who roared through the frame!

This bunch of straw-y stuff is up against one of our fences. I had to take a look into the neighbour's yard. Just part of the job, ma'am.

The Girl wanted us to run and let he take more pictures. But there was something out on the road somewhere, and we all had to go to the gate to bark. (The Girl just wants to note, nothing was there.)

The Girl loves pictures of trees and bushes that are newly frosted with snow. I wasn't cooperating about getting a good shot of me against them in the background! There were no treats, you know!

The Girl thinks this is such a good picture of my face! Of course it is, Girlie - I am the handsome one!

Losing patience with all the pictures...

The Girl wants you to check out all the snow on the bushes. It would be more impressive if she'd managed to get the shot she wanted, BOL!

We've all had enough and want in. See, even Lexi was out there, even though she stayed at the door for most of the time.

The Girl would like to send out big hugs and thanks to everyone who left comments on her blog post the other day. She says that she treasures each and every one of you, and your kind and loving words made her so happy!

In other news, our good furend Bruno from the Canine Mafioso was just in to the vet to have a tumour removed. They are waiting to find out whether it is benign, so if you could go over and leave some good thoughts for them, I know they'd appreciate it. I'm sending brown dog determination at the tumour, informing it that it MUST be benign.

Our photo essay dedicated to Pink Ducky seems to have been a success! We don't have a video camera, so that's as close as we can come (for now!) to posting a video. The Girl is investigating ways to get a video camera, so stay tuned!


OMDog, I am so excited about our upcoming interview with PetDoc! It's an email interview, and we got the questions this morning. Now I just have to get Girlie to answer them! We'll let you know when it will be posted.


Tomorrow, The Girl is co-hosting a Holiday Open House at the Kamloops SPCA. I have not been invited. Girlie says that maybe Santa Paws will bring me a belly band, and then maybe I can go with her to things like this. Then on Sunday, our dog training group is having a holiday party, too! I don't think I get to go to that one, either. I'm getting a lot better, but I'm still sometimes quite reactive to other doggies. The Girl says that maybe we'll ask the Roomie to come with us, and I can stay for a little while. Then the Roomie can just bring me home before I get too over-stimulated. The party is at the training centre not far from our house, so The Girl might even just run me home herself.


I hope all my furends have an EXCELLENT weekend, full of snow or not! (I know some of you are not snow dogs, Joe! But I know some doggies like the Thundering Herd will be furry disappointed if there's not a bunch of white stuff on the ground and falling from the sky!)


And finally, The Girl and I would like to say something to the troll that left mean comments on the most beautiful post on the blog belonging to Sunny and Scooter and Jamie (the Texas Sundogs): If you are reading our bloggy, read this. Your comments were inappropriate and uncalled for. You may not agree with the post or it's sentiments, but that's no reason to be a troll. We get back what we give out, and karma bites hard. We don't know if you follow our bloggy, but we don't need traffic like that. We encourage you to apologize to our furends.


Happy Fur-iday, evfurryone!

Wow! Lookit all the cards!

Wroooooooooooo! It's me, Dannan! Guess what we found in the mailbox today... HOLIDAY CARDS!!! Four of them!!! (The Girl doesn't have any, yet!) The Girl took pictures after we opened them, but she's in a bit of a rush today, trying to get ready to ABANDON me.

She said we could do a quick post, just to let evfurrybody know that we have received cards in the snail mail, and a TON of e-cards! The Girl hasn't had time (she says) to look at them all, so on the weekend, we're going to do a massive Holiday Card post.

The snow is all gone. It was very sunny today, but the wind was really cold! We took some pictures outside this afternoon when The Girl came home, but she says she's too busy to deal with them right now. You know, because she's getting ready to ABANDON me.

I also wanted to CONGRATULATE the winner of Bolo's Nosevember Competition - my good furend Eduardo the Snuggle Puggle!! Eduardo, you are pawsome! And Bolo and his Mom did such a great job putting together a really fun contest, so thanks to them, too! We didn't do so well at recognizing our furends' noses, and we're really sorry about that! If you catch me staring hard at you, I'm trying to memorize your features better!

Well, The Girl says she needs to go pack. To ABANDON me. She's going to Vancouver tomorrow morning, and will be back Thursday night. And I have to go to my Nanny and Papa's house. (We didn't make it there this weekend, so I haven't even had a dry run.) The Girl has gone away before, but I've always stayed at home with my Roomie and my Min Pins and my cats and my bed and all my stuff. But the Roomie is going with her, so I can't stay home. (The Roomie's dad will come over to look after the Pins and the cats, but The Girl thinks I will be happier to be at Nanny and Papa's, where they will be with me the whole time.)

I sure hope Nanny and Papa give me lots of treats and belly rubs so that I don't feel so bad and sad and lonely. The Girl keeps a pretty close watch on Papa when we visit, because he always wants to give me LOTS of eatables. The Girl lets me have a taste of most of her eatables, but it's always a really tiny taste. Microscopic sometimes. For instance, if I get a taste of her carrot muffin, it's always just a tiny crumb. Like half the size of her pinky finger. Or even smaller! But Papa thinks that I should get half of the muffin. So The Girl keeps an eye on him. I'm supposed to stay very lean because of my missing leggy, so I'm not supposed to get lots of eatables other than my kibble. I'm hoping for a bonanza at their house, though. If she's doesn't want that to happen, then she shouldn't ABANDON me. I know you all agree with me.

About ten days ago, The Girl and I went for a walk, and we got lots of pictures. The Girl has a whole post planned with them (jeepers, Girlie, it's going to be spring before you actually do it!), but she said I could post two of them. So here I am, checking my pee mail...

And here's another picture of me in the leaves. Can you find me? BOL!

I don't imagine that I'll get a chance to post again until Fur-eye-day. So have a good couple of days, doggies and kitties, and I'll tell you then about my ABANDONMENT. (And massive amount of eatables, I hope!)

More snow pics and last day of Nosevember!

Wroooooooooooo! The Girl finally got herself a little more motivated and did some cropping on a couple of the snow shots from the other day. The snow is melting, melting, so the next group of pictures might just be of me having a bath.

So here I am, sniffing the snow.

Running away (The Girl's favourite of these pics)...

Coming back.

My furends seem divided pretty well down the middle on the issue of snow. That's okay, different strokes for different folks, that's what somebody once said.

I want to do a last-minute plug for Nosevember over at Bolo's bloggy. Today is the last day of the competition, so hurry over and make your guesses! Bolo and his Mom have worked pretty darn hard on this contest, and it's really been a lot of fun! (Even though I found out that I need to look MUCH harder at evfurrybody's nose! So if I seem to be staring rather hard at you, I'm just learning what your nose looks like!)


Finally, The Girl is getting ready to leave for her shift at the SPCA Craft Fair. I don't get to go, AGAIN. But at least she's helping raise money for the doggies and kitties and hammies and bunnies and birdies that haven't found their furever homes yet. Maybe I'll get something special for when she leaves!
