Christmas 2014

Hiya all,

Sorry I have NOT been around woofing in Blogville for 87 years .... but there is stuffs going on here that is gettin' in my way. December is bad enough for my ma - she has LOTS to do - but now there is extra on her (and therefore MY) bowl plate... she is having tummy surgery very early in January and will be in recovery for 7-8 weeks. (She had better recover like clockwork because we are booked away for a seaside hollingday late February). As if that was not bad enough - we are about to confirm on a "house and land package" so I will get a brand new HOUSE (and hopefully a patch of grass just for me!) ... but in the meantime we have to declutter, clean-up and pimp our current house - in preparation to selling it. So it's on like donkey kong around here. So don't forget me - I'm still here - but the person who turns the computer on so I can get blogging done - will be otherwise occupied for a while. 

On to my actual POST:

Looka at all my STUFFS!!!!!!

My BEST Auntie (B - the one we camp with in the PKW) got me this GREAT SIGN. It worked!!

This is me at Grandpaws. I was pooped after a full few hours of playing with family and guests. I was taking advantage of a break in proceedings to recharge. And also being close to the table means I was dreamin' about confit duck and roast pork!!

Scarlet (Top) and Zoe were there too - and we gots decorated with those collars again!

I opened my OWN presents.

And checked the other bundles of paper to make sure nothing was missed!

It got real late ... and it was a LONG day ... and past Scarlet and Zoe's bedtimes.

The next day (Xmas Day) I was left home to sleep off Xmas Eve ... my pawrents went to Dad dad's sisters place - and mum was in charge of making a HUGE choccy mousse and a LOLLY Buffet.

The many kids loved it too! Mum was mobbed when the bowls started coming out - she didn't even get a chance to decorate the table like she was going to.

This is Bintang. He is a silkywawa. (Cross between a silky terrier and Chihuahua). Just a pup 14 weeks old and cute as a button. I was told he had a great time with all the kids and Santa - but I would not have enjoyed that much (especially the kids bit). 

I held down the couch at my place instead.

I am so happy with my gifts. There are less toys this year as I'm kinda growing out of them now that I'm 4 and a half. I'm BALL CRAZY still!

Also - I got some lovely cards from friends in Blogville - but I did not join the card exchange this year because mum was not able to even do her cards - let alone help with mine. Thank you - the cards I got are treasured!!

Oooooo I wish I could open these packs right NOW!!

On a serious note - I hope all of you out there had a lovely Christmas or holiday season. Pace yourself with those consumable gifts .... 

Right ma - get this plastic off this chew stick and remove my collar - I've got stuffs to do!!!

*****

Wish me luck everyone - I'll be stuck with my Dad dad as the only peep to keep me alive for a while - Let's hope he's up to it!!

I'll give you pup-dates as I can!!

Bye for now!!

Guess who turned THREE....... AND FOUR!!!!

Hiya all,

It's been a HUGE week. Do I look any different?

Well apart from the the fact that my ears are all sad and down because SHE got out the flashy box.... again.....

On this day (2nd May) I was a whole year older...... I turned 3 my furiends.

So where are the gifts, ma?????

OOOooooo two pretty parcels. Let's open!

I tackle the Big one first..... I smell rope....

Wow - squeaky rope toy.... great!

Now this little one is a little bit fiddlier......

It's my Birthday BREAKFAST....... Skambled eggies on TOAST!!!! I'm gonna FAINT.

So that was my Birthday Day! 

THEN, on Monday Play Day..... Scarlet and Zoe came over as USUAL.... and there were MORE GIFTS!

We found these gifts in the Garden. Little Zoe is with me.

ZOE: I'm thinkin' there are foodables in that there baggie!!

Now Scarlet is with me. Scarlet tells me she turned FOUR yesterday!!!! 

Uncie, Scarlet and Zoe bought me a pretty new HOT PINK diamond encrusted collar.... Thanks very much!!

SCARLET: And I gots some yum yum yummers!!

SCARLET: In the pawcel was this squeaky stuffie tug-toy!! So cool!

SCARLET: Do I smell something phenomenal?????

It must be for us Scarlet...... it even has a silver schnauzer on the top. I'm so excited!

So while mum goes away and finds the knife and our bowls...... we can have a teeny tiny little lick.......

SCARLET: Nah....... Notice what??..... I see nuthin' !!

Awwww - we are gonna have CAKE for dinner girls.... we are such LUCKY, Lucky dawgs!!!

It was delicious my furiends!!

We LOVE Birthdays!!!

Christmas: Pawt THREE! (final)

Now for the most imPAWtant part...... my gifts and presents. I know you guys have been dyin' to see how I scored with Santy Paws.

Feast your eyes on the following:

The pawcel you saw me unwrapping contained a "hide-a-squirrel" toy (Grandpaw could NOT believe his eyes when I opened my pawcel and started plucking squirrels out!!). In my stocking was a squeaky rope stuffie, a dawg yummers pudding (ate it), two sorts of flavoured bubbles (which I don't know how to play with) and a christmas woofery cookie.

I gots a hot-dawg stuffie and a bone stuffie. Some awesome foodables including chicken sticks, piggie ears and liver treats (my fav, thanks Santy Paws)

Don't forget that I got a new bed just before Christmas because mum rang Santy Paws and asked nicely!

 My uncie, Scarlet and Zoe got me TWO new id charms - they both have mum's mobile numbers on the back.

This one is real pretty and sparkly too - both got the spellings of my name RIGHT!!

Then my Auntie Lynny gave me this cool dawg stocking..... with a rope, squeaky toys and balls...... but my attention is being held by the Turkey bites!!!!

Then I got THIS!! Can't make out my action shot???? That's me playin' soccer!!

This is my first Big Ball ...... mum got it for me because I love playin' with balls. I try to bite it..... but can't get my tooth pegs into it. Mum says it is good that way because then my Big Ball won't go "pop bang" and then go in the bin. Crazy woman. I have A LOT of fun with this - Thanks very much ma!!!!

So I think I must have made it onto the "Nice List" but thank goodness Santy Paws was lookin' the other way when I could have been doin' some Naughty stuffs ;-)

I gotta go and play some soccer now....... See Ya!!!!

Christmas: Pawt TWO

You guys made mum and I laff and laff in your comments about that skeery HUGE Penguin. I liked Frankie's suggestion .... to put him on someone else's PORCH. (Problem is I can't lift him). Plus..... I have to decide which of my neighbours I like the LEAST to drop him off at their place! I needs thinkin' time! 

Anywho - here is more on my Christmas season.

Our big Christmas bash is on Christmas Eve at Grandpaws' place, it's a double celebration for us. Traditionally - my mum and her family celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve (it's a German/Lutheran/European thing) and it's also Grandpaws' Birthday. He is mum's dad, and he is now 83........ that's almost 87 you know!!

First mum puts the Christmas Collars on Scarlet, Zoe and I..... and there is great funs from then on.

Little Zoe was "hell-bent" on tryin' to get Scarlets off.... it was very funny

It was very tempting for me to keep sticking my face into the foray too!

Then loads and loads of peeps arrived..... all huggin' and kissin'.... and eatin' yummy noms. They all loved us coz we is soooo super cutes! (Even if we do say so ourselves!)

Mum wants you to know that it took forever to get us all in the same shot and looking good..... there were many bloopers..... but we just loved playin' around and make the peeps work hard to get our attention - and what THEY call a good shot!

After all the "day-time" visitors left, my Grandpaw was gettin' a few phone calls from Germany..... relatives who was wishin' him well! I however, was wondering when I could start unwrappin' the gifts!! I gots all excited when I spied my very first Doggie Christmas Stocking (see behind me).

Finally..... after dinner and begging for  a taste of confit duck and roast porks.... we could start unwrappin' what Santy Paws had sent us!

I am an expert at making huge paper messes "wrapping papers"!!

OOoooooo lookie here..... is that a cookie from my favourites doggie bakery???

So you can see we had a great day..... and I'll post all my gifts tomorrow on Pawt Three!
