Benny's Big Beautiful Blog

I'm not ignored. Just busy. ;)

2013-10-06T23:13:00.001-07:00

Wowie. Talk about a lack of blog posts. Little brother Adam is draining mommy's energy and time but that's also cos she is doing her utmost to keep me happy as well. I go on at least 2 walks with her and Adam every day and 1 walk at night with daddy. We also play plenty of fetch together. Adam loves to watch me run to and fro. I am hoping for the day he will be able to stand and throw a toy for me!!!!

In the mean time I am keeping Adam clean. :D

Keeping Adam clean

2013-06-18T23:41:00.001-07:00

I'm a busy corgi. Previously I just had two humans to watch and care for. Now I have three! And the little one needs to stay clean. I know how much mommy likes us all to be clean.

A corgi's gotta do what a corgi's gotta do.

Slurp slurp slurp!

Things are looking up and quieter (a little) 😉

2013-05-22T23:48:00.001-07:00

My baby brother has learned to make other sounds at other volumes besides LOUD or silent. He now coos and gurgles and does alien sounds. Sometimes I run away but most of the time it's tolerable. Much better than the first couple weeks when he got here!

He is about 5 weeks old. Quite a bit bigger. I think I grew about that quickly as a puppy too. ;)

This is us quietly celebrating his one month of age! ;))

In the meantime i continued to get love from daddy...

And from mommy...

And we all even went out as a family on a mini outing!

I hope Adam grows up to be a good sibling and loves mommy and daddy as much as I do!

My human baby brother has arrived!

2013-05-01T00:34:00.001-07:00

What a crazy few weeks it has been.

Mommy and daddy disappeared in the middle of the wee hours of the morning a couple weeks ago and mommy didn't come home for a few days.

When she finally came home, a new living thing appeared. It stayed in our home. It was crying and making weird gassy sounds for a long time. I know he is part of the family now... But seriously, he is loud!

Here he is! Presenting my baby brother, Adam! 😉

My coming-soon baby brother!!!

2013-03-25T10:48:00.001-07:00

My baby brother should be showing up real soon!!! Mommy has been growing bigger and bigger at the belly. Sometimes I feel him kick me when I'm resting against her belly.

Look at all the nice things people got for him! He is just as lucky as I am to have so many people love him! :)

Soon soon! Maybe in a month!

Fun London Cab plush toy!

2013-01-20T20:34:00.000-08:00

Weeeee! It has been a while since I found a toy I could really grin about! Thanks to Aunty E (Hammer's mom) for the Xmas present! So i got it and was wondering what all the fuss was about. Pose! (said Mommy)

OKAY! I will pose! Blink blink.

Then we started playing fetch! It was SOOOOO much fun i had to do a jiggy with it!

This thing had a squeaker that I just couldn't get enough of...*nom nom*

Nom-Nom...?

Ok, so i learnt you can't really eat it. Its more a fetch toy. After many rounds of fetch i was uber duper super ultra mega happy!

More! More!

Ah. My london cab. I think England must be awesome. =)

Teehee...now i shall keep my cab safely somewhere and nom on it...
(Mommy: he has managed to gnaw 3 seams apart in a few days. Poor taxi.)

What on earth happened to TIME?!?!?!

2013-01-10T10:15:00.001-08:00

There's a crazy reason I wasn't able to post. Trust me I wanted to but this was beyond my powers.

Mommy is....pregnant! The little baby inside mommy has been draining her time and energy. And mommy has been crazy bz as well traveling back to Singapore before she got too big.

Well lots of change is coming! So quick catch up:

1. November weekend - mommy flew back to Singapore for uncle Z's ROM.

2. She came back for about a week then she and daddy went to Japan for a week for what they call their babymoon. I could feel them spying on me through the webcam at sweetdoggies!

3. After they came back, mommy flew back to Singapore again in early December to do tons of stuff for Pawsitive sensations.

4. Daddy flew back to singapore the Christmas week to visit family and once again I felt them spy on me via webcam!

5. Unfortunately, mommy fell ill with the flu, fever, viral GI issues, upper respiratory infection. I must have felt it from waaaay over here cos I got upset and sick with pneumonia. Thank God the team at sweetdoggies noticed me being ill and sent me to the vet for treatment.

6. It's now early jan 2013 and everyone is back home with me and I'm better and so is mommy!

So have a happy and blessed 2013 everyone!!! I will be posting again soon! Pictures await!

99 Ranch in Cupertino

2012-10-23T22:18:00.003-07:00

Mommy is trying to post this entry from a mobile app. I'm cool with that cos that means I can post on the fly! :)

Wondering around is fun! There's plenty of fooooooody smells and bushes and pillars to sniff.

There's even a nice fountain. I like the fountain but daddy doesn't like the restaurant behind it. :P

Don't forget the comfy benches and the cool shop that sells all the cute stuff that I won't get cos I'd just tear them up. Heh.

Oh and I had to take a pic at mummy's favorite bubble tea store! I got to say it smells pawsome!

Ok. That is it. I have decided to make 99 Ranch MY TERRITORY!... =D

"Oops...." I did IT again...

2012-10-08T00:40:00.000-07:00

A few days ago my humans went out for dinner. When they came home, they saw something on the floor and smelt something in the air. Mommy says she wants to tell the story... uh-oh.

**Benhur's Mom here. So yes, we left for about 2 hours but this was after he had a nice day out too so he wasn't bored. Benny just decided to do what he seems to simply have to do ever so often - eat something he shouldn't. Let's see now. Since he was a puppy (in no particular order) he has eaten:

About 6 bananas (skin and stem)
About 50-60 bags of Lipton tea
Macadamia nuts (estimated 30)
House plant
A lot of Oreos
Entire packet of MnMs
More Oreos, this time peppermint ones
Tube of Bodyshop hand cream
Fire Starter
Recycled Fire Wood
Leftover dinner from trash
etc.

**I have potentially blocked out some of the memories. Just because. So let's add this to the list - Ranch Dressing. There were 3 pre packed cups of ranch dressing that Clement was going to bring to his office but Benny decided to pull them down from the dining table and have a go at it.

**These are 2 of the 3 cups he took. 2 of the cups are perfectly clean. The third one was half eaten which meant...he was nauseous from eating it.

**The guilty boy knew he was in trouble. Big trouble. He sat on the steps knowing he can't go up cos we told him not to, and he can't come down cos he is in big doo doo.

**Guilty boy wondering when he should move.

**Guilty boy getting scolded while having to FACE THE EVIDENCE. His tummy was bloated and his breath smelt of ranch. It was gross...i knew we were in for the gas coming out the other end...and yes, it smelt like ranch too. :S

**I found his "bed" clean of the ranch but had some blood. He likely cut his lip/gum/tongue on the foil or plastic. Nothing in his mouth was bleeding by the time we got home and he ate fine otherwise. So the silly guilty boy had a misadventure with the ranch...

**And not that it stopped him from begging for watermelon soon after we released him from his scolding and forgave him. Oh benny...

I, Benny, am back! Yes, my humans scolded me...i couldn't help it. Honestly, my tummy and tongue and saliva glands overrule my brain's better judgement. =P Heh. The cut wasn't fun though and i did feel kinda pukey after. Ranch isn't high on my list of fav foods now.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival!

2012-09-30T17:48:00.000-07:00

Woohoo! It is the mid-autumn festival again! I like it...cos...mommy and daddy always buy something nice smelling home. I get to pose with these mid-autumn goodies...

Oh boy....the lid is opened....MUST - HAVE - SELF - CONTROL...
MUST- LOOK - FORWARD - AT - CAMERA....

Maybe if I look sideways and upwards....

Woohoo! SNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Got caught*
Now have to pose the boss. The one who bought and paid for it.
*SMILE!*

I will just have to wait for them to eat it and crumbs to fall my way! *pray hard!*

Dog Days of Summer (San Fran Giants)

2012-09-28T00:34:00.001-07:00

One night Mommy showed me tickets...i never had a ticket for ME before...*inspect*

Take a look...oooo...i believe the one with the yellow sticker is for ME!

Woohoo! That means....we are going somewhere!

So i'm told that orange is the colour of the day...I'm ready folks! Let's get going!

I found out that I'm in San Fran once again but this time at a park for baseball! The AT&T park!

Gotta make it mine! *poop*

As we were walking to the entrance we saw really expensive lookin' sailboats...ooo...

Then the humans go to the loo...guess its sorta like making the place theirs too right?
And after that they go buy baseball park foooooood....*yum*....

And we finally make it to our seats! Yes...I GET A SEAT TOO!
(Mommy's trying her best to carefully balance the food. She dropped daddy's hotdog but the nice guest services lady there got him a new clean one cos it was an accident. How pawsome is that?!?!)

Do i get treats? (yes...i did!)

Bailey was there too! His mom is a BIG Giants fan!

Nom nom...every one is having nice smelling hot dogs and garlic fries except us doggies.

Here's me up on the bench after daddy and mommy finished all their food. A much better view!

Here's the game!

This HUGE afgan hound is impressive eh?

I made tons of people smile....

And we sang "Take me out to the ballgame".... I liked that one!

Whew! It was a bit warm but the wind kept it cool... I like going to ballgames!

This is me...snoozing all the way home...

But hey! It sure was a fun day out at Dog Days of Summer!

Did you see the Space Shuttle Endevour???

2012-09-23T19:06:00.000-07:00

Mommy got so excited that she couldn't help but post this here. She brought me out a couple days ago and we stood at the curbside just waiting. For what???

There's this thing called a space shuttle that flies in space. Space is this place that's really high up beyond the sky. I don't really understand it all but Mommy said that there's such thing as space food so i believe her. =)

Oooo Space Food.... can i try some?

Here's the video of the plane carrying the space shuttle that flew past us! It was LOUD!!!

Movie trailer starring...yours truly!

2012-08-26T23:08:00.001-07:00

Woohoo! My very own trailer (and I even the movie version)!

We had tons of fun making this today and hope you enjoy watching it too! The world cannot succumb to hunger...we will become heroes and save the day! ;)

I'm injured...=(

2012-08-22T10:52:00.001-07:00

Well, I've been fortunate that Mommy is kiasu and been giving me glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM supplements since I was a puppy. I'm about 6.5 years old now...time flies eh? So I haven't limped at all for the last 4 years or so even after long walks, fun days out at the beach, etc.

But last friday morning I can't explain what happened. My left back leg just started hurting a lot after breakfast. I was a 3 legged dog for a while and the pain got worse. Mommy was shocked to see me look like that. She hoped it was a "numb" leg from sleeping on one side (cos I disappeared into the bedroom after breakfast) but sorry to say it wasn't.

This is me barely standing on my left back leg.

So off to Arroyo Vets I went. Dr Megan was nice. She was as gentle as she could be and I got treats. Ok, so I looked sad and needed love. ;) She had to test my knee joints and said my knees felt really loose. And cos Mommy said I might have hip dysplasia as well, i was off to get xrays. They were nice and didn't sedate me.

My xrays came back showing that both my hips have the dysplasia (boo...) but the left hip is much worse than the right. The radiologist said my knees while are loose do not show any signs of arthritis. Yay!

So this is me on Rimadyl that friday night. See my the-world-has-come-to-an-end expression? Mommy promptly started physio on me too. Massage! yay! Ouch...cramps....

I got sympathy points that weekend from Daddy too! Nom nom.... i want....

Please Daddy...grovel...i'm injured...u love me...nom nom...

Yay! I got to taste a bit of the organic peach! Yummmm.... (no seed/pit of course. Those are dangerous to us dogs).

Time to snooze on the couch and support Daddy in his endeavour to slay evil!

Once the sun started moving away I went to my favourite spot in the yard to snooze...

Mommy said something about maybe, just maybe, needing surgery on my hip. Sounds like what many of her patients in Singapore had to go through. *zzzzz* Time to catch up on my beauty sleep!

Carmel Beach!

2012-08-02T22:00:00.002-07:00

What in tar-nations....!!! It is already August! Yikes! Well here's a late post (again).

It all started on the 7th of July. Mommy had told Daddy that she wanted to celebrate her barkday early by us having a fun doggy day out at Carmel Beach. She read that it was a nice beach...so that morning, I got wind of it! Yes! Let's go!

After a SUPER long car ride (it was supposed to be under 1.5 hrs but ended up 2 hours cos of holiday traffic. Boo...), we reached! Nice beach! Weather was kinda cold and foggy that day though. My humans weren't too excited about that. Not that it bothered me at all. =)

The sand was REALLY soft. Kinda reminded me of the sand in Sentosa, Singapore. I spent my time wandering off with daddy...

...only to run back to mommy...

...and do it all again!

Soon Daddy muttered something about water and the beach so back on the leash I went, cos I ain't too fantastic a swimmer... I gotta tell you that THE WATER IS COLD!!! Something about the Pacific Ocean? Phooey.

We met this nice man who told us about a great place to bathe me. What?!?!?!

Why would he know that? Well these are his dogs and his family is in the background. His dogs LOVE the beach and the sand. Can you tell? (breed name is unpronounceable!)

No time to waste! I'm off again to explore this extensive beach!

Plenty of surfer dudes, dudettes and kids. The cold water has no effect on them. They must be aliens.

Seriously. Did i tell you the water IS COLD?!?!?!

A quick retreat to dry sand and a dog's gotta do what a dog's gotta doooo.

And he gets his human to be responsible for his doo. ;)

What an awesome day so far...

I love this beach! Wish it were closer to home...

I think Mommy loves this beach too!

Pose. Nice trees in the back.

What? The... ooo...actually this is pretty comfy...

I started getting sleepy. Zzzzzz....

Daddy thought it was funny. Daddy told me he likes being buried in sand too. Mommy doesn't. Haha!

Well, it was the BEST beach day ever! I know there's more great beach days to come! yes yes! I like the beach!

Las Palmas Park again!

2012-07-10T23:28:00.001-07:00

Yeah! Summer is here! I LOVE summer...yes it is hot and all that but so far it has been great for me cos I get to go out more! And this year, Mommy is staying with me all summer (not like last year!).

We went to Las Palmas Park again. I like this park. There are quite a number of dog loving people here and the grass is nice and green!

Mommy brought the picnic mat and laid it on the grass just at the edge of the tree's shadow. Of course, I know what's important. HER BAG! (cos there's always some doggy treats for me in there!!!)

Now if just give her my goofy grin, she'll not be able to resist my mind-meld and gimme some treats!

Couple of treats and plenty of drools later, I started noticing this awesome thing behind me!!! See it?

I know what I want for Christmas...This big ol' tree in MY BACKYARD!!!

Ok...I've used up Mommy's goodwill..hee... time to mind meld Daddy into walking me!

"Mommy!!! Can you see me from waaaay over there???"

"How about now???? Can you still see me????"

"What the....! Daddy is cheating! He started running back!!!!"

"Huff puff huff puff....Mommy...I'm coming!!!"

Teehee!!! Silly running face!

What a great weekend! Wait till you read the next post on what we did on the weekend of the 7th of July!!! Stay tuned!

Outing to San Fran with Hammer's mommy!

2012-06-19T21:32:00.003-07:00

So remember Aunty Evelyn coming over? This entry is about the day that she brought me to San Francisco! (ok...so mommy drove, but it was Aunty Evelyn's idea to bring me out...afterall she was pawsome enough to come visit me!)

So here we are, in the car. I'm sitting in the back with my seatbelt on. Yes, I have a seatbelt harness. Useful stuff for preventing me from climbing to the front. Which according to mommy is extremely dangerous cos I'd be in the way. =P

We got to the usual car park that was next to Joe's Crab Shack and I wanted to climb out. Pfft! The seatbelt harness was still on! Better be patient... ;)

The humans were hungry and so was I. I couldn't focus on posing...I smelt FOOOOOOD....

Glorious food! This was what the humans ate.

I got a piece of lettuce or two and my own dog treats under the table.

What? Did someone say OmmmNommmm???

Oh, it was just that pigeon squawking at me...taunting me... Humph.

No time to waste! We had to go SHOPPING! (What is that? Mommy and Daddy never brings me shopping. New experience here!)

Some quick photos... SMILE!

And off to dog friendly Pier 39 we went!

This, my doggy friends, is called SHOPPING. I got to enter the stores with Aunty Evelyn. She found me useful to help measure sizes when shopping for her nephews and nieces. Wonder if they are furry?

More shopping! I LOVE this store. This shop sells doggy-related stuff! They rock!

Towards the end of the shopping day. Mommy was tired. All that stuff in the bags are Aunty Evelyn's SHOPPING. If shopping means I get to go out and be in the stores...then I guess I like shopping. If it is waiting outside the shops...don't think i'd like it. Today, though, I liked it very much!

Well, that's it! Homeward bound with my seatbelt on again. Dear Hammer, I hope you hug your mommy everyday! I love you Aunty Evelyn!

Aunty Evelyn came specially to visit ME!!!

2012-06-11T21:37:00.000-07:00

I got a visitor! Aunty Evelyn, Hammer's mommy, flew in just to visit me!!! I'm such a lucky corgi! ;)

First thing she did after hugging me was to show me a brand new toy! My mommy said that it was going to die and Aunty Evelyn let me go ahead and have fun by destroying it!

Let me teach you how to dissect a rope duck. First you start by tearing a nice gaping hole at one of it's armpits like so:

Then use one paw to firmly hold it in position while surgically disemboweling it.

If you get tired, con a human to hold one end for you and start playing tug-o-war!

Never forget to occasionally check to see if more fluff can be removed.

Then resume tug-o-war!!!

What's that you say? I am allowed to BEHEAD it???? Can you see the crazy sparkle in my eye?

ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAH!!!!!!!!!! Show no mercy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hee hee...!!! Success is such sweet savour!

Big smiles all around!

Whew! Not bad considering I played with the toy for...i think 40mins? ;)

Here she is! My Aunty Evelyn who loves me very much!

Sorry ducky...guts and head got thrown away....

This is me thanking Aunty Evelyn for the toy by hanging out with her upstairs!

BIG HUGS!!!!!!! I WUV YOU!

Next post: My day-trip to SF with Aunty Evelyn!

She is home!

2012-05-28T14:35:00.005-07:00

I am happy!!! I got to fetch mommy back from the airport! I was so stunned to see her in the flesh. ;D woohoo!!!

I got lots of hugs and kisses. And I got Furminated! I had that coming cos shed all over her lap the entire drive home. Hee.

She Furminated me on wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. The photo shows how much fur is removed in one fell swoop. Multiply that by 3! I should be bald. Mommy should make a corgi fur coat.

And then she just HAD to dremmel my nails. Why? Ugh. I wanna die. :( luckily it seems like mommy and daddy have improved their skills and the session of nail dremmeling went by pretty fast.

Now my parents want to me take a self portrait with them... After all that torture????

Evil eye!!!!

Well I hear that something fun is going to happen for me soon! Can't wait!

My silence

2012-05-07T08:15:00.001-07:00

I'm not speaking again cos I'm upset at Mummy. She is away. Again. =((

This is what I should look like:

Well, this is what I had to see a couple of weeks ago. She was packing...again... I decided to sulk.

Well, she's getting her corgi happiness from other corgis back in Singapore. I have gotten over her being missing for a while. Daddy has been great to me. *yay!*

In the meantime, here's a picture of a corgi crossed with a Jap Spitz! How cute is that right???

Until she returns... (soon)

i will send more barks ahead! ;)

My 6th Barkday...California Time...

2012-04-11T18:27:00.008-07:00

Woohoo! My fav day of the year arrived in California... =) This year we went out! Mummy packed ALL the treats into a bag and off we went to a park in Saratoga.

Nigel and Jemma were there all ready to go on a park playdate!

Dory's there too! She and i have an understanding about greetings.

And Daisy's there too! Yippie! More fun!

We did the usual...sniffing...

Saying hi to other dogs in the area...

Mummy got in on the "saying hi to other dogs in the area" too.

These dudes are all so...TALL...

Playdates are fun as long as you remember the number one rule: Food is king.

At the end of the walk around the park the humans tried to get us to do a group photo.

Daisy thought it was a let's-roll-around-in-the-grass moment...

Then I thought'd i'd give it a try and got up...

When we started sitting pretty, Nigel had plonked himself smack in front of me...

And Jemma obviously thought it was a butt group photo...

Dory (dog on the extreme right) was the best for most part until she decided to have a rebel moment at the one time the rest of us looked at the camera...

More havoc ensues with us dogs facing the wrong way...

Wait for it...it is almost perfect...

And this is it! Our best pic. ;) Oh boy...we really aren't the best models.

Whew, now that's done we can yawn, make faces and ask for the CAKE!

Cake cake cake cake!

Nigel's nomnom face.

Jemma's satisfied face with corgi radar ears.

Daisy's happy day!

Dory's why-aren't-you-feeding-me face.

This is just proof that we caaaaaan sit pretty IF we waaaaaaant to. ;)

I got pressies from every one. Thanks very much! There's the Charlie Bear treats (love em!) and antlers (more on that in the next blog entry). And there's the singing birthday cake toy.

It kept on singing...and singing...

More plush toys with funny sounds. I wanted to destroy them on the spot!

Mummy had to prevent me from doing that though...look at all the witnesses in the background!!!

Thanks to Auntie Nancy (Nigel and Jemma) and Auntie Diane (Dory and Daisy) for all the fun, treats and gifts! It made my barkday blessed and pawsome!

My 6th Barkday...Singapore Time...

2012-04-06T17:07:00.007-07:00

This year I get to celebrate my 6th barkday over 2 timezones! I'm STOKED!

We started off using Singapore time since I spent half of my life there. This meant that 31st March PST, it was already 1st April in Singapore so I got some fun barkday stuff!

Wooo.... are these all mine? Googly eyes...

I'm sure they are ALL mine...Attack!!!

(got scolded) Wha....????? 3 Dogs and a Chick's doggy treats always taste great. I know these are mine. Right? *whimper*

How about these? I think they are CAKE. Barkday CAKES...

*pray* Dear Lord, grant me the patience to wait for my special treats and the serenity to accept that I can't change my humans' minds about hurrying up. Amen.

Mummy insisted on ONE MORE PICTURE with ALL THE TREATS...

I know these are mine. I'm mesmerized.

Soon...you'll be in my tummy...

*HALT!* Mummy took all the goodies away. *WHY??!???!???!*

Cos she decided to give me a new toy, just for this special day, and let me destroy it.

*cue evil laughter* Mwahahahahaha!

I can almost taste it.

Death! Rip!

It doesn't take me long at all. Fluff and guts!!!

Squeakers and squeals!!!!

Heh. Heh. The look of accomplishment.

Absolute satisfaction!

(Poor elephant)

And later that evening, I finally got my paws on my Singapore time Barkday biscuit!

Daddy is happy showing off how much his outfit matches MY biscuit. Hands off!

Ugh...pose...

UGH... pose again?

And then I got to eat it. Whew!

Stay tuned for "My 6th Barkday... California Time..."

I'm getting too old for this s***

2012-03-29T14:54:00.002-07:00

I'm getting my furry butt whooped by two crazy corgi puppies!

So on tuesday I got to go have a fun afternoon with them again and this is what happens AFTER that.

First, the instant crash on the couch.

Then that night, while my humans are watching a movie on TV, I decided to put the tv console to good use for my tired short legs...

Oh and wires can be such great leg dangling devices! Zzz....

Until next time... wait a second...isn't my barkday coming? *hint hint*

Corgi Playdate!

2012-03-09T13:36:00.005-08:00

Just a few days ago, Mummy said that she's going to bring me on a playdate with other corgis. She mentioned something about them being puppies...what?!?!?! I'm ancient compared to 7 month old crazy puppies! i'm OLD.... *boohoo*

But that's ok. They turned out to be really cute and quite fun too! I was to be a good role model and to teach them good behaviour and wat not. =P Heh heh!

Well, this is what the two puppies do when I'm not there...

And so I'm here! From left to right: Jemma the "blonde", Nigel the "tri-colored artist" and me, Benny the "red-haired" =P

Mummy's trying to distract us. Not bad huh.

But then the playing ensued!

Jemma likes to flop on her back when she's near me. She pretends to be all docile...and sweet...

And when the moment is right, attack!!!!

Nigel is the official sound-maker.

Then we moved outside for group training. This is our SIT-STAY. We were facing the sun. Hence the squinty moody faces. =P

Then we had to do a DOWN-STAY. The puppies learn pretty fast!

Then it was back inside! The puppies were relentless I tell you. No peace for me!

Jemma: Play! Play!

Nigel: Bark Bark!!!

Me: Can we stop soon? I need a breather!

Double team!

Here you see me really trying to communicate to both Mummy and the puppies that I wanna sleep... See my pleading eyes???

And here, they finally got it! Yes! Peace and quiet...snoozing...a break...excuse me...zzzzzzz.....

And the miracle of nap time!

I had a blast! And i think Jemma and Nigel did too. =) I hope to meet them again soon!

Tug-O-War with Daddy!

2012-02-20T15:18:00.000-08:00

It all started with this teeny weensy piece of fabric. Know where it's from? It's actually part of the moose toy I've been playing with! That's an antler i think...i kinda tore it off.

Daddy was shocked at how the moose is now one antler less. But Daddy...we can still play. Really!

Mummy, will you play tug-o-war with me?

Mummy ain't doing that great of a job with one hand on the camera!

Tug tug...

Daddy! Let's show her how it should be done! I know you have "death" grip powers!

Daddy actually gave up saying something about painful fingers. So we tried a different toy!

This was once a stretchable piggy...no more piggy head though. That got torn off too.

Hey can you spy the wee piece of red cloth/moose antler in the back? hee... tug tug...

Come on! Pull harder! I can win!

Full-body extension...paws all wide and low to the ground!

Ears forward too! Best way to hear the "ripping" sound...heh!

Nuts...on rare occasions I do lose my grip. *pant pant*

Here Daddy is trying to entice me into playing with the big stripey bone...

I go for it! Wonky eyeballs won't stop me!

Nonetheless, this stretchy toy is still best for tug-o-war! See my pawfected tugging stance?

View from the other end...

Well, tah! Until next blog entry! Happy feb! *tail wave*
