Thankyou IAMS and Olympic Update

Another exciting thing happened just today..... well there were TWO exciting things really....... one involved me FALLING into a deep part of our ravine creek river today....and mum had her heart in her mouth as I was dog paddling at about 87 thousand paddles a second.... and dad dad had to help me out via my harness....WHEW!! It was exciting furends FUR SURE! Ma should have taken her camera and got the images for Sarge's swimming event!! The down side came when we got home and ma insisted I get a warm rinse in the tub..... BUTT....the creek was CLEAN (we've been having lots of rain that swooshes down there)...so it was just not required, really ma!!


Enough of that story....shame there is no photographic evidence!


GET THIS STORY!!


The nice peeps at IAMS (Proctor and Gamble company) not only make EXCELLENT PET FOODABLES..... but they also sent Pam and Oskar at PBU some special scarves for the HOSTS of the BLOGVILLE OLYMPICS 2012!!! Seeeeeee:

Mum even ironed it for me so it was all Purdy!!

It suits my FURS ..... don't ya reckon?????

Pam and Oskar were very apologetic that they didn't get any scarves with AUSTRALIA on them.... so I hope you don't mind Pam and Oskar..... but mum and I got on the computer and made a few little TWEEKS......

I am an Aussie doggie after all........ but with all my USA furends in Blogville.... it's easy to feel a little American too!!

So AGAIN I WANT TO SAY TO IAMS.......... YOU ROCK!!!!! THANKS FOR THINKING OF US HOSTS IN BLOGVILLE!!!!!!!!

Meet MY Caravan / Olympics Equestrian Reminder

HiYa all,


Yesterday was SOOOOOO exciting! Mum, dad dad and I went to pick up my our caravan. Remember my peeps ordered it, like 87 months ago???!!

Come and see it.....I wasn't even skeered of it (as if, mum!) She thought I'd be a bit funny because I've never been in one before. I was FINE!

See...... cool as a cucumber........actually - I think it's a Peep Kennel on wheels, sorta!! He he he...

And look...... while I was checking out my our caravan.....I got to meet Wooki - he works here!! Wooki helps sell these kinda caravans (peep kennels) and he has excellent customer relations skills.

He made sure my dad dad used the steps to enter the van safely. He told me I can skip the silver step and jump straight into the van. I kinda prefer that technique.

Wooki even got his mum to demonstrate the way to unlock the storage compartment door. I hope this compartment is big enough to hold essentials like liver treats and milk bones for travels!

Hey Wooki....... You likey my wheels????? And the way I'm gonna roll????? BOL!

Wooki is telling me softly in my ear...... we could go travelling together!! OOOoooo!

Aaaarrrrrrr - let go of my ear Wooks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

We got distracted and started to muck about.

Wooki kept trying to taste the back of my neck.

Then we played with the floor towel which his mum took out of my our van.

For those of you who are curious.... Wooki is actually a Lagotto Romagnolo breed, and he just got a furs-cut yesterday. He usually is much fuzzier, as his furs kinda go into tight ringlets and mum thinks they look like beautiful dreadlocks. His mum and dad used to have a mini schnauzer, Monty..... but Monty had to leave for the bridge. His mum looked at me - right in the eyes, and it reminded her of Monty. She got a little misty.

Now we have to fold the van down, and tow it home.

And mum and I can start planning our peep kennel caravan  adventures for the future!

Stay Tuned for that after the Olympics!!

**********************

So, have you been training your Equestrian Skills with your horseys and stuffs????  There are no rules, you don't need real live living and breathing horses ( *they can be skeery* ), and if your peep wants to help you with photo-shopping pictures - that's allowed too. Send in your pictures to me, Rubie, starting the 9th of July to email address:

rubie(dot)schnauzer(at)me(dot)com

You have to get them to me by the 18th of July. I've briefed the judging panel on how to judge us...... and they are "on board" with the whole "everyone wins a gold medal" thing!! Paws UP!

Now here's a real live picture of me training my horsey for the jumpin' ...... no creative photo shopping on this one....no sir eeee !! (WINKS!)
