Happy (belated) Halloween!!

2009-11-06T02:30:00.001-05:00

Hope everyone had a good fun Halloween!

Last year, our brudder was a pumpkin boy (click here) but looks like we had

a Dalmatian brudder this year.

A night before Halloween, we weren't sure which costume we would love to wear

so we tried these two hats on. We were on our usual cat walk in the kitchen. :P

(Momo) "Mom, Wasn't I a pink witch hat two years ago? I am wearing my necklace but

I don't think it's visible"

(Pinot) "I am Pirate Pinot!"

Then mom wanted me to try this cow thingy on.

(Momo) "Ahhh.. That was mine. I think this has been shrunken!

So it's yours, Pinot!"

To be honest, the cow thingy wasn't working so I had my cool hat on again... And.......... a cow hat was back. Mom's huge problem is she is so indecisive! "Make up your mind and let us know..." We all agreed that the bandana would be the best choice. (Pinot) "Mine is a brand new bandanna! :) I know mom always feel guilty what she's never spoiled me since our human pup was born so she's trying hard to make it up lately. hehehe

Before we stepped out, we took a brudders'n'sissy shot.

"Can you see our new kitty friend?"

Then we wanted to make sure if the weather was going to treat us well.

Shall we say meaw or woof??

We decided to stop by our usual park to check out how leaves changing colours.

Then our brudder started running around....

"Woooof Wooooooooooooof!!"

We all wanted to catch him.

Geeee... this energetic pup was out of control. He was running around all the time.

"Catch me if you can!!"

Where is Momo, Pinot, James and mom?

(Pls enlarge the photo.)

After lots of chasing, it was the time to do 'trick and treat'.

Last Halloween, our pup aka a pumpkin boy was a little too young (click here)

so we thought we could do a lot more together this year.

A close up of our new friend Ms Kitty.

We had an important task to guide our brudder's stroller.

"Dad, there is something out there!"

"Phew! I am glad this is not a scary thing!"

It was nice to see many Halloween decorations.

Our pup's big moment had come. This was his very first Trick'n'Treat!!!

We actually stop by this house last Halloween and they kindly gave him lots of candies

but of course 'someone' ate all candies.

"Hello!! Don't forget to put more doggie friendly candies, sir!" As a matter of fact, this gentleman was very nice. He said he has two doggie kids. :)

After a long walky, we were back to the park.

A few minutes after that, we noticed our brudder needed to take a rest.

Back home, we found a huge pumpkin which was picked by our brudder

at the pumpkin patch.

Less than ten minutes later, our Jack o'lantern

was ready.

We named him BOO!!!

Thanksgiving Dinner

2009-10-24T00:10:00.011-04:00

October 12 was our Thanksgiving Day! This Thanksgiving, our chef decided to BBQ our turkey in the Big Green Egg. He coated turkey with sea salt and extra virgin olive oil, then applied black pepper, Thyme, Rosemary and Oregano.

"Let me know when our birdy is done!"

This is one of our 'must have dish'es on Thanksgiving. The Ultimate Cauliflowers and Broccoli Cheese casserole. He graded Parmesan Reggiano Cheese and placed it with chunk of Gorgonzola bits on top.

I Momo was a daddy's big helper. I cleaned the mess on the plate after he grated cheese. Yes, no dishwasher needed in this kitchen.

Mr. Birdy on the grill. "Getting there!

We wanted our human pup to participate this Thanksgiving so it was his turn to be at the chef's table. (sort of...)

"Is that my dinner??"

One of our mom's favourite, Roasted potato with lots of LOTS of garlic, sliced onion and herbs.

Seems like our dad got this little helper.

He prepared some healthy choice, too. We were interested in these teeny tiny squash. Very cute!

Mr. Birdy's arrival to our kitchen. "WELCOME!!"

"Let me get out from here!!"

"Ahhhh... HELLO~ "

One more shot! :D

Dad sliced our main dinner. "Keep a big slice for me, please!

Our turkey dinner was done. Why no Pinot around here?? When I (Pinot) saw a big frame coming our from our Green Big Egg a while ago, I got very scared. Since them, i have to be a way from the kitchen whenever dad fires up the BBQ. "So can I have two bowls?"

OK.. I only got one bowl as usual.

"Dinner is ready!"

Happy mom posed to the camera.

Mom also prepared our pup's first Thanksgiving Dinner plate.

"Cheeeeeeeeese!"

Mom wanted to make desert BUT dad suggested not to. BOL So they bought this pumpkin cheese cake.

"Are you saying that is our share? Where does the rest go??"

We were trilled to share Thanksgiving dinner with our pup but... guess what? He wasn't into turkey at all!!! hahahahaha.... (Mom is here... :) Even if I am a lacto vegetarian, I have given James some meat but it's been always hidden under sauce or veggies so this was his first time to see actual meat pieces. I wonder if this is why he wasn't into turkey meat?!?) "NO Way, Mom!!"

Thank you very much dad for wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner!!! ***** RIP Momo the hammy ****** We've just noticed that our friend, Shushu and Kero's beloved sister Momo went across the bridge on August 4th. (Photo: courtesy of Shushu's blog.)

Momo, we hope you keep smiling just like you do on this photo and enjoy running in the wheel. Momo & Pinot/J & R

A package from Texas!!!

Our human pup shouted 'Ahhhh Daaaaa.....!' (translation: Loooooooooook!)

while he was delivering a huge package in his walker to us.

Yes, M we mentioned on our past post is a very good friend of us Mango!!!!!

Our brudder gave us a teeny tiny help to open this huge package.

Shortly after our exciting pressy opening night, he was all of a sudden so tired

and needed to go to bed. :P :P

OMD!!! We were so touched... Each pressi means a lot to us. (The black shadow on right side is me, Pinot... hahaha.. I was so excited and had no moment to stay still to pose the camera.) First... we LOVE this treats!!! So yummy! We kept begging our mom to give us more treat. And... we almost cried when we saw this photo in this cute frame. Thank you very very much, Mango, Ximui, Chubs and mom!!! I (Momo) am a serious thinker and I (Pinot) am a happy happy 'we think about it later Yay!' doggie... This is how we bark THANK YOU to Mango and his family. We forgot to mention eaerlier. We admire this Mr. Blue Doggie!!!

Yes, sir, we'll kiss you forever!!!

Next day, feeling so refresh

our pup wanted to try his new outfit on.

He also needed to give a BIG hug to his new buddy!

Then he tried his new Halloween shoes.. still holding his new buddy.

"Size is pawfect...opps perfect. I am learning doggie language.

How did Mango know my shoe size??

Even our pawrents don't know..."

We had a chit chat about coming Halloween.

Mango and family, thank you so much again for making us smile. :) :) :)

We keep smiling whenever we see your pressie.

BTW... (Momo)

Sorry for my absence from these photos. I am simply not a morning doggie.

Ahhhh... We can't wait Halloween !!!

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!!

Coming Monday, October 12th is our Thanksgiving Day here in Canada which means

we'll have big turkey dinner!!

This Thanksgiving will be a special one coz our human pup

will be at the table with us and we'll share lots of lots of food! :) :)

We Googled a bit and learnt that Thanksgiving Day in Canada has been a holiday

on the second Monday of October since 1957. A lot earlier than our friends' celebration in US.

Our pawrents brought some autumn decoration today.

The autumn wreath looks good and we're sure it will be replaced by a

red and green thingy after Halloween!

Momo & Pinot/J & R

ps: We've received a great package from our friend in Texas.

We don't reveal who she/he is today but the pic of our exciting day will be posted soon!

(Thank you, thank you, thank you, M!!)

2009-09-30T00:50:00.003-04:00

It's MY turn. My parkday pawty!

(September 18, 2009)

Mom showed me 'something special' just for me.

"Extra Old Cheddar Cheese! Sounds good to me!"

Meantime we smelled something ...

We seated at the chef's table. :) :)

"Our steak is done!"

Our private chef was making beef'n'veggi gravy.

The chef's mission completed!

"Let's dig in!!"

After dinner, we saw mom started making something.

"These look familiar! Are these exact same cookies she baked on Momo's barkday?"

(Mom) "Yes, I baked bone shaped cookies based on the same recipe

but I added the secret ingredient for the barkday boy!!"

Mom proudly showed us the "2" shaped cookie

with an ear and tail representing us Cavalier.

"Thanks mom but are you insulting us? Did you say Cavalier ear and tail??"

Actually we didn't really taste Cheddar cheese flavour but we appreciate her efforts.

**************** SWAG BAG *****************

Remember what we came by Cavalier Playday in late August

but we had to leave earlier due to our humans schedule? The organizer of this successful event, Brian kindly kept a swag bag for us and mom pick it up at his office two weeks after our fun day.

He also reserved two T's for mom and dad.

Can you see this famous Cavalier named Jasper on the T-shirt? I tried to pose the same.

We knew we missed out so much. There are lots of lots of goodies in the bag

but we really wished we could have stayed until the end when we saw the raffle tickets.

"Are these tickets still valid??"

This snood is a very useful. We received one so..

I took it!

"I am older and my ears are longer!"

Thanks so much again Brian!!

Momo turns four! :) :)

September 2nd was my four year old barkday! A small pawty started almost midnight!

After our human pup went to bed, mom grabbed all ingredients to bake

Wholewheat Banana Cinnamon Doggie Cookies.

She said she carefully choose the type of cookies to bake for me but we suspected that was THE easiest recipe she wanted to give it a try after our pup's bedtime which was.. well late. Anyway.... she baked a lots of cookies and dad fired up BBQ at the same time!

"Let me sample the cookie first! I am the barkday princess!"

Time to sample BBQ's pork!

Happy Barkday to me!!

Toffee and her mom gave us very very nice pressies during their visit...

and what our mom wanted to keep until my (Pinot) barkday (18th) was...

A FRISBEE!!!!

"Thanks, Toffee!!"

I Pinot was SO excited to try it out!

My barkday story will be updated shortly. Stay turn. :) Momo & Pinot/J & R PS: Happy 3 year old Biwfday, sissy Asta!

2009-09-21T11:20:00.001-04:00

Welcome to Toronto, Toffee!!!

First of all, thank you very much for your barkday wishes, everyone!

Mmmm... we're very very behind. What we're going to talk about is our pawtastick day

to meet up with Eric's pupcake :) Toffee from Boston on August 31. As many of you have known, we've met Toffee's mom and dad (d2b) a few times but this was our very first get-together.

"Glad to finally meet you, Toffee!"

Two moms tried to capture some images of

this day but each of us was in the mood of 'let's do some own thingy.

A camera shy Toffee is a quiet girl unlike......... us. :D Our mom wanted to get the group shot and this is all she was able to do coz each of us was still doing each other's 'own' thingy. :D This day was a beautiful day. We all enjoyed sniffing around, leaving peemails and had some bite on the grass. Then, hey, look at this photo!!! Don't they look great? We love this photo!!

Thank you very much for your visit and your pressies!!!

One of the pressies was kept separately until the 18th, my (Pinot)'s barkday.

Guess what it is? :)

Momo & Pinot/J & R

2009-09-18T13:10:00.002-04:00

2009-09-11T00:50:00.002-04:00

The photo of the day!

There are so many photos that we want to upload badly here but

today we decided to take it easy.

This early evening, we had a usual but nice walky which we found very peaceful. :) :)

Can you tell which shadow is me Momo or me Pinot??

Ok.. here's the answer.

From left to right, Momo, The stroller which carries our human pup brudder BOL,

dad holding a frisbee and jumping Pinot and mom.

After this picture taken, we had a little break at the playground.

We so called 'three kids' enjoyed playing together. Hello, we are NOT kids. We're grown ups, mom and dad!!!

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Downtown (Toronto) Playday

2009-09-04T01:20:00.004-04:00

The day that we all Cavaliers in Toronto.. maybe Ontario (even outside of Ontario)

were anticipating had finally come!

That is Cavalier King Charles Downtown Playday!!

Here's the Official Photo Page (link is here)

(Pinot) "I have a good feeling today!"

(James) "....................... I am wearing my new hat. "

Paws Way is a new really cool place for doggies & kittes on Toronto's Harbour Front.

When we got to the reception, the VIP pass holders like us were given this cool pass!!

We were told that almost 150 Cavaliers and 200 their servants (aka humans) were

supposed to show up!

Behind the reception area. This indoor playground is really really cool! Ok.. these servants took up so much room in this photo BUT have a close look! Can you see many Cavaliers on their arms or on the floor? The pic from the upper level of the indoor playground! "Where is our mom?" (You can spot her on the almost upper right corner!) We also love the water fountain! It was really nice to see many many happy faces!

I Momo was so grateful to see our fellow Cavaliers.

I was off leash so I was running around to say HELLO!

"I think I just found some familiar faces!!"

When mom took Pinot on leash (lol) to the upper level, I followed them.

Then I saw another familiar face so I went back to the lower floor.

Mom thought she lost me but after a while, she spotted me.

"Have we met before?"

Gee... me Pinot was on leash a whole time. :(

I enjoyed sniffing lots of friends and say woooooooooof

BUT our meany pawrents didn't allow me to run freely.

We were on the upper level. Ohhh so many happy tails!

(It's probably hard but you can see us at the end of the movie.)

Me, Momo... finding my clones.

(I am the one in centre.)

"Did I miss anyone?"

(I Momo was still happily running around.)

OMD, this is a Cavalier heaven!! (We were not here.. lol)

More Cavaliers...

Our human pup brudder probably believed he was one of the gangs,

CKCS... :D :D

mmmm.. maybe not.

Dad and three kids.

The off leash play time was over and many were about to move to a nearby park for lunch.

"The pawty hasn't begun yet!"

Everyone waited in a line to way out but after this photo taken,

our human pup was getting a bit irritable.

So we left from the emergency exit which was not a good idea!!

Toronto Harbour.

(Please enlarge the photo to see more Cavaliers!)

We took a short bread before taking off.

The back is the Toronto's man made beach. :)

CN Tower

Regrettably we had to leave the pawty BEFORE it began so we missed out so much!!!

Our humans had another place to go behind us and we were actually a bit upset.

Anyway...

It was great to see many many other Cavaliers we usually don't meet during our walky.

Some very nice humans came and say hello to us which was VERY nice.

We were so happy to see lots of happy tails!

We really hope there is another playday next year!!

Thanks so much everyone, especially the organizers, sponsors and

volunteers to make this happen.

Momo & Pinot/J & R

ps: We're behind ...

We met up with our friend Toffee at the first time in pawson next day.

And we had MY barkday pawty shortly after...

The pics will be posted soon!! :) :)

2009-09-02T21:20:00.000-04:00

Happy Barkday to me, Momo!

Today, September 2 is my 4th barkday!!

It's already late evening but we know our pawrents will prepare BBQ

and mom will bake cookies.

We had a pawsome time at Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Downtown Playday

on 30th

And...

had lovely time with sweet Toffee from Boston!

(Yes, Eric, she is still your pupcake! )

Pictutres will be posted shortly.

Happy 1st Barkday, our brudder!!!

Wow, ONE (human) year had gone so fast...

This is the day we welcomed our human brudder. (Click here)

Then.... This is what we saw on the table!

Triple Layered Apple and Carrot Cinnamon Cake with suger free

Cream Cheese Frosting.

Pinot, the investigator needed to sniff every single bag here.....

"Now.... you may open the box." "How many toys did you get?" This is the picture called "can't you guys look at the camera for a split second?"

according to our mom.

(Momo) ... "Can I have my breakfast now?"

(Pinot) ... "So which is my new toy?"

(James) ... "What are these two thinking??"

"Mom, I am glad James is happy to open the pressies but I (Momo) am VERY hungry!!"

After our breakfast/lunch, dad started prepering something.

Then we could't help sniffing more and more from the oven.

"What is dad making?"

Meanwhile we found many barkday hats on the table.

(Pinot) "I am assigned to have a new investigation."

Our dad and mom were really busy to prepare something smells gooooooooooood and

guess what?

They said they had a reservation and were disappeared without US!!

These are the images recorded on their memory sticks. (ha!)

The dinner at ONE??

(How appropriate!)

"We had a table at a patio." "I had a bit of almost everything from the table. The tomato and basil risotto was super!" After three human came home, we had a walk then dad finished touch up the cake!!!

"Are we really celebrating our brudder's one YEAR old barkday?? Did we celebrate his one MONTH old barkday yesterday??" (Click here.)

He seemed to enjoy his barkday cake.

"Did you call us the REAL cleaners??"

"Yes, We are!"

Yay, we were about to have a REAL bite!

"Why did we need to share the plate??"

"That was good, dad!"

"The second slice was about to serve!!"

Yum!! "Happy Barkday James!!"

Our pawrents were running around for James'

barkday and they didn't spend much time with us.

So they took us to the Discovery Walk next day,

our favorite walk!

We had so much fun!

Momo & Pinot/J & R

2009-08-06T02:50:00.004-04:00

My 5th frisbee!!

Ok... Frisbee is not MY ("Princess" 'Momo) thing, this post looks like Pinots solo post again.. :D

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

We are really not sure if we're enjoying this summer coz it's been kinda funny.

We usually have a short but nice and sunny, bit humid but still ok summer..

A past few 'supposed to be summer months', we had so many cloudy days and sudden shower.

Occasionally even have thunder storm.

What is going on??

Anyway, a good boy Pinot got his 5th frisbee today!! Yay!!

You know why I got this frisbee.. This is the reward as a good big brudder! :)

I am good to keep eye on our human brudder from the moment he

and his mom gets up.

(Yes, our mom and I get up when our little one wakes up and starts saying dadadadada~~

through the monitor from his room.)

"I am ON duty!"

Even Statue Pinot keeps eye on our brudder. Well... this is my very first frisbee (orange) which used to my dad's.

After this orange frisbee boy went cross the bridge, I got a smily one.

I loved his company so much and we smiled each other a lot!

My pawrent still have it but he looks like a paper plate according to our pawrents.

SO I got an another orange one which sank into the Lake Ontario at Cherry Beach.

(I didn't do anything wrong, dad threw it over the water and went too far.

I wasn't allowed to go pick it up due to my safety!)

Can you believe that these is NO pic by our paparazzi pawrents??

Ok... this is my 3rd one!!!

Red!!

which went missing....

I Pinot cannot belive I lost it at the park.

Ok, life must go on..........

Three humans went out quietly but they came home quickly and

gave me this new RED friesbee.

It's red just like my missing one but a bit different!!

There are four holes in the centre and supposed to be

easy to hold and pick it up.

"Let's have some fun, dad!"

Our friends Cookie and Cinnamon were wondering if we could post

a movie so here's a short one.

This is my first run. It's hard to tell but our human brudder was drinking

whatever he had in his sippy cup.

This was my last run after having so much fun.

Look at my sissy, what was she doing??? :D

Our brudder?? His sippy cup was up side down.. I guess he had stopped snacking

and enjoyed watching MY work.

Thank you very much for all of your sweet comments about our last post which was taken in our little brudder's 'future' room... gee a while ago!

The reason why we posted that picture was we're happily surprised that it's been almost.. yeah, a year since our human brudder came to this world.

OMD, many humans say time flies but it looks like it.

Your friends,

Momo & Pinot/J & R

2009-07-25T02:00:00.005-04:00

We went to the groomer!!!!

We really needed to go and have a good time at the groomer

because of our lazy pawrents! No brushing, not so much attention,

who need Spa Treatment?!?

"Me me me me me!!!"

Total eight paws up!

"BEFORE"

I Momo think I looked ok.

Me... Pinot was a different story.

My hair is very very fine. If you touch me, you feel like touching a cotton ball.

Knowing my hair is so bushy, they didn't brush my hair often.....

The result?? . I've got SO mamy mats. You must be familiar with our pawrents' 'famous' excuse why not to brush my hair often, right??

Yes, it's a "Your human brudder needs so much attention" thingy.

See the mats locater below.

Feeling guilty they made an appointment with the groomer.

"We're ready to go!"

What they didn't know until they dropped us off was what they had to wait for four hours.

So they took our human brudder for lunch then

visited Distillery District for a walky.

"No paparazzi, Please!"

James, we know how you feel!!

"AFTER"

You probably can't tell much difference but my (Pinot's) terrible mats were removed nicely. We wanted to keep us look as 'Cavalier' as possible so we requested not to trim our hair. We loved we smelled like conditioner and felt so good and you know what? We got cuddle all night long! That was a bonus. Do you recognize her? Our mom used to love TacoBell and their TV commercials. She had tacos at TacoBell so often in order to collect a TacoBell stuffy and this is one of her collections. (Yes, Canadian Taco Bell stuffy came with Maple flags!) This famous chihuahua, real name is Gidget has died at age 15.

We pawsonally never seen TV commercial on live but we've heard about you alot. Run free over the bridge, Gidget!!! Momo & Pinot/J & R

2009-07-17T00:30:00.002-04:00

Pinot -The Statue

I didn't understand why mom was laughing SO hard.

She was busy feeding our human brudder and I was bored.

She often asks me not to jump on the table........

so...

I did! :D

That's all.

Have a great weekend!

Pinot/J & R

Yeah.. this is my solo post!

2009-07-11T02:00:00.003-04:00

I got a NEW frisbee!!!! :)

It's been a little while since we left our pawprints on your blog... our friends!

Our chief-editor mom NEVER..

N.E.V.E.R helped us to update our diary...

NEVER helped us to visit you...

Terrible!!!!!

Her excuse is always the same....

"Your brudder has kept me and daddy busy.. blah blah blah blah blah...."

Mom.. that's enough!

Anyway.. our pawrents got me Pinot a new frisbee the other day.

Yes, it has a smiley face like mine....

I love my new frisbee! Nice and crispy!!!

I am Pinot, the energetic Cavalier boy!!!

"Throw that frisbee dad!"

Yes, I carry my frisbee all the time while we are out.

When I have to keep eye on my brudder, my frisbee takes a break.

I have to be my brudder's playmate... so let me leave my frisbee for a while....

Mmm.. my frisbee needs to take shower...

"Ah... a stick! This little human knows what I love!"

(James) "Look at me! I am going to train my brudder

how to play with a stick!"

It looks like this is MY diary, sissy!!! Ha ha ha ha ha....

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

We're tagged to list our treat/bucket list from our friends Toffee.

Here's our list:

1: Get us.. rather me Pinot a frisbee(s) :)

2: Help us to visit all our friends' blogs to say hello on regular basis

3: Get us fresh meat and cook it nicely often

4: Cheese from deli would be a nice alternative!

5: Don't forget to get a baguette along with cheese!

6: Cook fillet Mignon in our giant avocado (click here) every once in a while....

5: Cuddle us all the time :) :)

Have a good weekend, everyone!!!

Woofstock : Day 2

(June 14, 2009)

Dad and Mom couldn't make up their mind if they wanted to take '3 kids' all together

to Woofstock on Day 2 day because of all the hectic and rush jobs

they had to go through on Day 1!

A split second, they thought to take only our brudder.

"Hello??? This was the pawty for us doggies!! What were they thinking??"

Anyway.... at the last minutes, dad said "Ohooooooooooook..

Let's take everyone!"

Woof! :) Woof :)

We were on the passenger seat.

"We're back to the pawty!"

We parked our car near St. Lawrence Market and there were already many doggies

who were ready to go to the event.

"Shall we come by the market to get some cheese and meat after the pawty?"

On Day 1, we missed our Cavalier friend Shelby's appearance on the stage

so we were looking for her everywhere but we didn't see her.

We were hoping to see her on Day 2......

Guess what, her mom S spotted us!!!!

(Momo) "It's wonderful to see you again, shelby!"

(Pinot) "I am next to my DREAM GIRL!!"

Shelby and her partner Coquette just got married at Woofstock Doggie Wedding High Tea

taken placed at Le Meridien King Edward Hotel!.

OMD, they were everywhere in the media....

Have a look at this video at The Globe and Mail.

"Aren't they beautiful???"

(picture courtesy of Torontoist)

While we were chatting, we met Coquette and her mom in real life.

(Pinot) "Is shelby really taken?? :* I can't face to the camera."

This day was a very warm day. Dad thought taking a rest in the shade while waiting Shelby's appearance was the best. "I need a little meditation!" We met Junior, a 'downtown Cavalier spotter'! His dad organizes the Cavalier Playday this summer. If you are fellow a Cavalier and happen to be in town, please participate this event! Gonna be fun! (Link is here.) Mr. and Ms. Canine Canada Pageant began. We had to see Shelby on the stage.. so we waited and waited.. :) "Hello, cowboy Chihuahua!" (Pinot) "OHhhhhhhhh, here's my GIRL!!!!" (Dad, the pic is very blurry!!!!" ) S & Shelby! A pawfect team!!

We wanted to see Shelby's another appearance but our little brudder was

overwhelmed so we had to leave the pawty earlier.....

Instead of what? I Pinot, had a another opportunity to swim at Cherry Beach!!!

It was great to see you Shelby, Coquette and moms!!!

Momo & Pinot/J & R

Happy Father's Day!

Let us show you our typical walky. We receive all sort of comments from humans

but what most of them do is giving us a BIG smile.

(Pinot) I am busy carrying my frisbee... but I have to stop here....

"Ok....everybody ready??"

Happy Daddy's Day!!

We love you DAD!!!!

Momo, Pinot & James/J & R

ps: Hey, this is our little brudder's first post! :)

Woofstock 2009 : DAY 1!

"Where are we going??"

Woof Wooooooooooof, Woofstock! (Link is here)

The annual outdoor pawty for doggies and their humans

in Toronto!! We always look forward to participate.

Dad and mom told us that the trip to the event this year could be a bit difficult coz of our additional family member. They weren't sure if we were able to make it to this fun event but mom finished our pup's needs while dad trimmed our paws. :) They quickly packed all kids (ha!) in the car and took off! We made it! Phew! Many happy two leggies and four leggies were waiting to see the Dog Trick contest on the stage. "Where is dad?!?" We met many friendly human pups, too! The gangs! :) Cool! We met this cute Cavalier girl. We didn't get her name. :(

Whoa, this dude has cool Doogles.

We believe this team was the champion of the costume contest last year.

This doggie reminded us of our friend Lorenza!

"Where can we find a nice hat like that??"

I Pinot carry MY beloved frisbee everywhere everyday. This day was no exception.

Our human brudder was very tired after a while

so we had to leave the pawty earlier than we expected.

Instead, we had a nice walkly at a little quieter dog friendly beach in town, Cherry Beach.

"Can you see Toronto skyline??"

It was a very warm afternoon. I Pinot had to cool myself down!

"Refreshing! Sissy, you're missing something!!" :)

(I know her secret!! :D She only swam once in her life by accident!!!)

Stay turned for Day 2.

Welcome back to Toronto, Toffee's mom and dad!

We had very special visitors from Boston.

Toffee and Riley's mom & dad had a short visit here in Toronto and

spent some time with us!

The weather wasn't the bestest in the morning but by the time we met at Starbucks,

it was turned out sunny! :)

I Momo had a delightful time with them a year ago but I Pinto needed to take a rest

after a big boy surgery so this was a happy opportunity to meet them for both of us together at the first time.

"Ahhh.. happy reunion!"

(Momo) "Pinot, you're wet and covered by mud!"

(Pinot) "What? What? I am so happy now!"

Female human spices are always busy to chitchat. Toffee's dad threw a Frisbee for me Pinot for a long time.

"Can we do it one more time, please??"

Meantime I Momo was padded by Toffee's dad. :)

"Hello Hello!!!"

"I had lots of fun!! A BIG thank you for Toffee's dad!"

And... we got pressies!!!!

"Ok.. enough mom... Let me take that!"

Ahhh.. this Apple Dumping flavour treats tastes SOOO good and

our mom loves it, too!

We have to lock our treat drawer otherwise someone sneaks into it

(Not to mention who would...) !!

"yay yay A New Toy!!!"

Thank you so much Toffee's mom and dad for your time!!

We had a great time!

We'll definitely see you again in September and hopefully Toffee as well!

Momo & Pinot/J &R

PS: We forgot to ask you Toffee's mom and dad... where was Cinnaspy???

Pinot reports in... (yay!)

The other day mom said she had something to show it to us....

especially to me Pinot! :)

So I asked my sissy to join me to pose with this something a little 'special'.

It was a wine called Doghouse-Pinot Grigio from California!

This winery's site is very cute. Check it out! (click here!)

"Is this made for me?!? by the way.. this picture is very blurry, mom!"

What we like about this wine is there are paw prints all over the bottle. Cute!

"Can I taste it??"

Unfortunately, the wine was a little bit sweeter than our mom and dad preferred

("mom.. the lable says 'suger code 1' which means it's slighty sweet!")

but hey it's from Doghouse! Why don't you give it a try??

They also make red coloured drink as well.

Humans who make the wine support a charitable organization called

Guide Dogs for The Blinds. They must be good humans!!

Pinot reports in... and one more pose without my sissy!!

Hello there! There is a quick report from me Momo!

There is a newly opened small garden in our favorite park and

this is what we found.

What do you think? We can't even sniff the pretty flowers??

Does this sign mean only a tall with long leggies can't enter this garden???

Mmmm.....

Cheers for my brudders!

You know my two brudders are so good to each other.

I thought Pinot would be my little brudder forever (coz he always acts like a pup!)

but he's been so good to our human brudder.

I am very proud of you, Pinot!

They play together and share good laughs.

"Mmmm....who is taller???"

"me!" "me!! Woooof!!" We have to say thanks to our dad to make Mother's Day very special.

Here's what we got.

Mom really enjoyed everything but what made her laugh was the veggie kebabs.

Can you see the size of a clove of garlic? It's called Elephant garlic.

One clove is almost same size as one mushroom.

"Gee... how many adult humans are here for the dinner??"
