Quote of the Day

"My little dog -- a heartbeat at my feet."

- Edith Wharton

I'm a contestant in a Pet Beauty Pageant!

Mommy told me the other day that she entered me in our town's first Pet Beauty Pageant! Pets of all kinds are encouraged to enter and strut their stuff. There will be the Pet Pageant along with food vendors and a Chinese Auction. Each contestant must also pay at $10.00 donation fee along with bringing an item needed by the local county animals shelters.

The best part of the whole event is that ALL the proceeds benefit our local cat and dog shelters so it’s a win-win for animals. Mommy is also donating a basket for the Chinese auction. It’s a pet trick or treat themed-basket!

As far as what I’m going to wear, mommy and I are looking and may have found a great outfit. I’ve been practicing my strut and poses too! I can’t wait and I’m excited to share the day with my friends too!

**Today is my Birthday**

That's right! I'm the Big 2 today and what a wonderful day it is! I'm all dressed in my birthday gear ready for a big celebration! This year won't be as big a pawty as last year, just me, mommy and daddy.

Mommy's picking up my cake from the BARKery and maybe, just maybe, I'll get some Frosty Paws on the side!

Yeah, I'm not really feeling the hat!

okay, trying to work with it here!
Showing some model swagger with birthday cake! Hey, this cake squeaks!
Hat ... falling ... must ... keep ... head ... still ...
WOOT! WOOT! I'm the Birthday Girl!
Now, let's PAWTY!

Summer Gurl!

Summertime is quickly approaching and it was only right that I needed to dress to impress for the season!

I look fabulous in my new cherry bikini ... Soaking up the sun!
Here I'm working in my tan ...
My summer job as a lifeguard!
Watch out Pamela Anderson ... there's a new babe on the beach this summer!
Whew! ... I saved Bobo!

Still taking a moment to look pretty!

Getting ready for Independence Day!

A cherry-themed summer!

I hope you all have a Happy and Safe Summer!

Mindy and Martin, the min pins!

I came across a very heartwrenching blog about two miniature pinschers attacked by another dog. Mindy and Martin were walking with their owner around their neighborhood when they were viciously attacked. Thankfully, they both both are alive but have quite a recovery ahead of them. Please check out their blog to read more about them including vet updates and to see pictures.

Please keep them in your prayers for a speedy recovery.
