Autumn Fun Black's Peaches and Cotton Belt Bakery

2010-10-09T14:54:00.001-07:00

So you see Fluffy - Leave me by myself for too long and I just get into too much trouble. What should I do? All I wanted was to play some Fall games, run through leaves and smell the crisp Autumn air!

My family went to Black's Peaches and Cotton Belt Bakery and enjoyed themselves. They were telling me all about the pumpkins they found. They were also telling me about the Autumn Farm Festival at Black's where they have:

Farm Animals - I could have played tag with them!

Hay Rides - I am good in a car, why not on a hayride?

Games - I know how to play games! Ever hear of fetch?

Mazes - You know I can find my way out of anything!

Pumpkins - I would have picked the best one!

Story Time - Ahhh...rub my belly and read me a story and I am all over that!

Oh well, maybe next year they will bring me! Check out Black's for more info! Now, what did I do with the rest of that paper towel roll?

Furniture Shopping For The Holidays

2009-11-02T09:37:00.000-08:00

Dear Fluffy,
I would really love to meet you some time, but it looks like the rest of the year is all booked up for me. With the holidays afoot I've only been getting about 18 hours a sleep a day and hardly have time to play anymore. One thing on the top of my list is getting my house ready for all the upcoming guests. First on my holiday to-do list is stopping by Anne/Roland for Furniture and Interior Design Services. They have furniture from Harden, Lexington, Wesley Hall, Fairfield and more. I just know they will be able to help me decorate my home with style.
Sincerely,
Your Friend,
Bella

Just for fun!

Fantastic Fountains at R.A.M. Concrete

2009-10-06T06:35:00.000-07:00

Dear Fluffy,
Everyday I walk by this fantastic fountain and wistfully think to my self, "It's just too beautiful to not have a dog swimming in it!"
In fact, Fluffy, I have tried but to no avail... Ron, the owner of R.A.M. Concrete insists that his fountains are for people to enjoy, not for dogs to swim in. I plead once in a while, "Make me a doggie fountain."
One of these days he just may.
Sincerely,
Coco the Dog

Love,

Sleeping Well Begins at Howard's Furniture

2009-08-03T06:54:00.000-07:00

Dear Fluffy,
All night I was tossing and turning, I couldn't stop thinking about that monstrous spider in your backyard. Just knowing that there are spiders half the size of me, walking through your yard, makes me never want to get out of bed again...

My only comfort (since I'll never leave my bed again), is knowing that at least I am sleeping on the most comfortable mattress from Howard's Furniture.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the next time we have a playdate, it will be at my house...
Thanks Fluffy,
Lucy

Linda's Childrens Shoppe

2009-06-24T11:19:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends,
Taco the Dog and Fred the Cat just sent me this snapshot of their lives. It seems that Fred loves to shop and he, apparently, is in the market for charming children's clothing for boys and girls and Fred knows just where to go... Linda's Childrens Shoppe in Matthews, North Carolina...
Linda's Childrens Shoppe is pretty cute! You should check it out sometime...
Love,
Fluffy

2009-06-18T03:46:00.001-07:00

Dear Fluffy,
It's looks like we are heading out towards greener pastures. I sure will miss you my friend. Maybe one day you all can take a train from the North Carolina Transportation Museum and come visit me.

Well, actually you'd have to take the Amtrak... The trains at the NCTM museum are a lot of fun to ride and see, but they won't take you to Tennessee to meet me at my new home.

We'll keep in touch Fluffy... We'll always have our blogspot.
Love,
Nikki

Finder's Keepers, Fine Consignment for Women

2009-06-11T09:05:00.000-07:00

Dear Fluffy,
My name is Joanie and I just finished woofing down another delicious treat from one of my human mom's many savvy customers!
You'd be savvy too if you saved as much money as they did on the designer clothing, handbags and accessories that you'll find at her shop, Finder's Keepers.
It's just like the bones we get from our peeps... Once we find them, we keep them!
Take Care Fluffy...
Sincerely,
Joanie

I'm the One Lucky Pup

2009-06-08T11:04:00.000-07:00

I have been going on and on about needing a little pampering and my wish came true on Saturday. My people parents took me to One Lucky Pup and treated me to the most relaxing day imaginable.
Kristy, the amazing groomer, combed out all my extra fluff (wow!) and then gave me a nice nail trim. As if I didn't feel like a new woman already, I also enjoyed a body massage and an oatmeal skin treatment. When I was ready to go home, Kristy put these cute little hair bows in my hair and my family almost fainted at the site of my beauty! I don't mean to brag, but I really do look great!!! Thanks One Lucky Pup!

Chill'n @ The Tavern at JR Crickets

2009-06-03T16:20:00.000-07:00

I was hanging out under the kids bed, just trying to keep it cool and I overheard Bluey the cat say to Barnaby the bear, "Did you ever have one of those days where you wish you didn't wake up Barnes Ol Boy?" Barnaby looked at her in a strange way, hence the photo, and said, "Blue, you just need to chill... Go have some ribs and some cold beer at The Tavern at J.R. Crickets and you'll be good to go." Bluey looked at him wryly and shook her head... "I may be cool, Barnaby, but I'm a cat. Being stuffed isn't all it's cracked up to be..."

2009-05-20T11:25:00.000-07:00

Dear Fluffy,
How can a dog not feel like a queen surrounded by all these beautiful flowers? It's a simple life for us Fluff, but I know those humans like to go all out in the pursuit of beauty. I overheard our people mom talking about Ahlara International in Mooresville, NC. She said it was such a tranquil place offering body massages and wraps, skin care, manicures, waxing and more. A body massage sounds pretty great, but I get those a lot. *Someone* has tried to give me a manicure, but that just isn't happening. So I think I'll leave the salon and spas to the humans... Or you Fluffy, cause I know you love that pampering so much.
Talk to you soon,
Sparky

Dear Fluffy,
Is it me, or do we look like stuffed animals for sale at Critters - Cards | Stationery | Gifts? Critters is filled to the brim with so much fun stuff including toys for kids, candy and novelty items. We love the chew toys for pets but our absolute favorite thing to do is use the gag gifts on the cat when our parents aren't watching!

Sincerely,
Abigale & Tallulah

The Next "Air Bud" in the making

2009-04-24T03:40:00.000-07:00

Dear Fluffy,
Did you know that I have aspirations to be just like the amazing Air Bud? He can play all sorts of sports including basketball and volleyball. I personally am *this close* to becoming a pro at tennis. You should see me on the court!

I asked my good friend from Carolina Courtworks if I could show off my amazing skills on some of the Plexipave or Clay Courts that he builds. He told me he prefers me right here in the grass.

In my opinion, he could at least build me a Synthetic Grass Court for my game because I have heard that it is much easier on the body than other tennis court surfaces.

I will keep you posted on my pursuit.
Until then, please fetch my tennis ball with me!
Your friend,
Buddy (AKA Tennis-Bud)

Getting Wild in Charlotte, NC

2009-04-16T14:35:00.000-07:00

I wonder what every one is doing, and if now is the time for my big escape? Oh, I don't want to escape forever, just long enough to flirt with some boys, smell some flowers and completely frazzle my people mom... As a matter of fact, today I lucked out and the fence was unlocked! The neighbors next door just planted some Encore Azaleas from Rountree Plantation and I just had to check them out. Two doors down the neighbor dog just picked up some treats from Wags of Baxter which I just had to try, and then I was on my way to unabashed freedom when I was wooed by my people mom and the heavenly scent of pizza wafting from the house... Maybe next time I'll get a little further...

2009-04-01T11:37:00.000-07:00

This is Sparky and I wondering where a couple of gals can go to get the most fabulous hair in town? No more frizz, unruly and misplaced curls... What wouldn't we do for that?

Bluey the Wise Cat Speaks Again

2009-03-04T12:10:00.000-08:00

Dear Fluffy,
Every once in a while I have to prove my wiseness to the masses. Sometimes it gets a little frustrating to have the enormity of my power questioned... But it all is worth it when I can make a young boy smile while I overlook his homework duties. Listen my young apprentice, it just goes to show... One is never too young to seek the truth.
Take heed my friend,
Bluey

Delivering Gift Baskets in Concord

2009-02-27T10:11:00.000-08:00

Hi Fluffy,
Jollie and me (Sullivan) help make gift basket and chocolate fudge deliveries with my Dad at Village Fudge & Candy Shoppe in Concord when we are not busy catching frisbees in the backyard. I came from Oregon this past summer and just love running and catching anything you throw my way.

Dad says I can't eat any of the fudge or chocolates but I have such a hard time resisting the temptations since it all smells so very good. You should come visit me at the store.
Sincerely,
Sullivan

Rejuvenating spa treatments in Mooresville

2009-02-23T10:05:00.000-08:00

Dear Fluffy,
My name is Lucy and my claim to fame is an unstoppable urge to kiss! kiss! kiss!
When I am not watching TV or barking at other dogs I love to play with my brothers Nibbles and Peyton and snuggle with Rosco the cat.
My people mom from Ahlara International, a 7500 sq. ft. holistic wellness center, loves to pamper me too. My spa treatments may not be quite the same as her customers' but she always uplifts my mind and body!
Love,
Lucy

All Star Golfing

2009-02-20T16:26:00.000-08:00

Dear Fluffy,
You may be looking towards Summer but I've got Springtime on my mind! I overheard my Grandfather talking about going golfing soon. All I heard was "hitting the links next weekend" (sausage anyone?), "swinging some clubs" (sandwiches, that is), and "chasing the birdies" (now I'm talking!). That sounds like the meatiest weekend ever!!!
Grandfather lost me when he mentioned Video Swing Lessons and complete club repairs at All Star Golf in Huntersville, North Carolina but other than that, I am ready to go golfing!
Love, Sparky
