My Roadtrip!

The bad news is...I didn't get to go to Camp Bow Wow today. But the good news is...I went on a road trip with Mom!! Bright & early this morning she said "Come on Lola...let's take a ride!" I love the car and I'm an excellent passenger. I just hang out in the back seat.

So we drove for a while but when I saw this sign, I started to get a little nervous.


Ohio??? Isn't where the mean people left Tanner? Is Mom taking me to Ohio to leave me there? Aaaaaaaack!

Mom said "Now Lola...would I ever give you up?" and I said No, of course not 'cuz I'm perfect. Then Mom told me we were going to a Meat Factory! It's this really cool place called A Place for Paws and they have a daycare center and they make special food for dogs. Raw Meatables!!

It was PAWSOME!! They have a huge play yard with Agility equipment and fun stuff to climb on.

And I got to run & play with other dogs.

I really liked these 2 greyhounds. They chased me all over the place!

We stayed for a couple of hours & then it was time to leave. Mom said we get to go back in 2 months and I can't wait!

But playing is exhausting.

FALL...back!

So this past weekend we turned the clocks back. What that means to me is:

1) It's getting colder
2) It gets dark early
3) All the leaves change colors
4) Mom makes me pose for pictures 'cuz the leaves compliment my furs.

I guess it's not so bad. I dig Fall.

MNF & Pressies from Singapaw!!

Our boys in Black & Gold play those Baltimore Losers tonight in Monday Night Football! We are are ready for you Dirty Birds!

While Penny & Lola would make pretty good wide receivers and I would make a stellar running back (just like my favorite guy, The Bus), we look like a pretty tuff Steel Curtain when we have on our game faces.

We're gonna send you stupid Ravens back to Baltimore in a bunch of broken little pieces!!

Now, on to more important things. I got Pressies from Singapaw!! Everyone's favorite hamster, Girl Girl sent me a bootiful bandana and Sunshine stuffie! She must know I'm just like a ray of sunshine.

Sorry, GG...I had to rearrange Sunny's face a little.

And that cool little dude, Huskee Boy sent me a big box of goodies! Yummy treats & stuffies...and I guess I'll share with Sherman & Penny.



Penny just loves those Salmon Snacks and I guess I'll let Sherman share the Cheese Sticks. He can have...one. I LOVE cheese!

But guess which toy I liked the bestest??? Yep, that's right...the TENNIS BALL! And it's on a rope!

Come On! Let me at it.

I'll roll it...

And chew it...
And TUGggggggg....

Thanks for all these great gifts Huskee & Girl Girl! You are too kind.

Presents from the Brat Pack!

What a great barkday! I got so many presents in the mail I can hardly believe it!! I am one lucky dog, let me tell you. I only get to open one package at a time so you'll get to see them all sometime this week.

Before I get to the fantastic presents from The Brat Pack, I wanted to show you the little cake my Mom made just for me! It's ground lamb & veggies. And let me tell you...it was heavenly!



OK, now for my presents! I got this giant box filled with goodies.


Just look at all this loot! Yummy PB Power Bones, a super fun strawberry Mom can fill up with cookies, a bouncy ball that will surely last longer than my tennis balls, a fat monkey that looks just like Sherman and a new purse!



Guess which one I liked the most??? A Diva can never have too many purses!

Penny also got something. She has a secret admirer named Tucker Doodle...don't worry Tucker...I didn't tell her it was from you.

It was a beautiful heart shaped stuffie filled with candy! I helped Penny pick out all the candy pieces, but we didn't break the heart. Don't worry. Here's a picture of Penny & her heart...pre-candy picking.

And even Sherman got something from his love bug, Dot Spot. She sent him this little love note...couldn't you just gag at the sweetness of it all???


But he's happy and now all he plays with are Pink Piggie & Cuddly Wuddly Bear!

I did get to open all of my cards & just look how thoughtful everypup (and hamster) are! They're all PINK!! Thank you to Ruby & Jackson for the e-cards.

Thank you to all of my wonderful DWBs friends for the Barkday wishes. I think I'm gonna like being TWOooooo!

Let's take a break from Lola...

Ahhhhh....Lola had a fantastic Barkday & she has so many pressies to open up and share with Sherman & I. I promise to make her show yinz guys all of her goodies later this week.

But pawsonally, I think we've had enough of Lola! She might be my bestest friend in the whole world, but she's had the spotlight for the whole week. What about Penny?

Just so you guys don't forget about me...here's a reminder of how gorgeous I am (eat your heart out Pippa, Peanut & Tucker!).

These photos are called "Penny a la Sophie Brador".

Are you there Sophie? It's me...Penny.

I'm TWOoooooooo!!!!

Yipeeee! I'm TWOoooooo!

Today is my 2nd Barkday and I am very excited to be a big girl. I got a super special barkday card from Asta the Fantastica! Thank you for the special wishes, my Foxy little Diva pal!



Asta was the puparazzi at our big pawty in Salem over the weekend. She even managed to get a group shot!

Tonight I get to go to the park, open my present from The Brat Pack & eat a special barkday dinner. I could really get used to this!

Oh & BTW, Mom made me turn the Pumpkin back into a Sherman. I guess since Al left, it's OK to have him back!

It's a Bird....It's a Plane

It's SUPER SPROUT!!!!

Look out Salem, here I come!!

Itchies or no Itchies! Mr. Al Urgeee is not gonna keep me from my peeps in Salem!

I suppose I won't be needing Aire Ruby, after all.

Pawty On!!

I am NOT a happy Diva!

This is supposed to be MY special weekend! MY Barkday is next week and my super special Pittsburgh friends, Scruffy & Lacie, planned this great Pawty for all the DWBers who have Halloween Barkdays. Amber & Koobus & Lorenza & Dewey & Precious & ME..we're all 'sposed to celebrate our Barkdays in Salem. At OUR Pawty. With all of our friends.

And I didn't invite Sherman. He cramps my style. He's old & grouchy & a total buzz kill. Penny & I don't call him the Fun Police for nuthin'

Well. I totally caught Sherman sending secret blog messages to his BFF Wally T. Corgador. Sherman told Wally to send that stupid guy, Mr. Al Urgee to Jackman Avenue and RUIN MY WEEKEND!!!

Yep. I'm guilty.

Now look at me!!!

Look at these super awful ITCHIES Al Urgee gave to me! I can't stand it! All I can do is scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch and scratch some more!! It's awful.

LOOK AWAY! I'M HIDEOUS!

Mom had to take me to the V.E.T today to make sure I don't have bugs. BUGS!! Divas don't get BUGS! They had to scrape off parts of my skin and take samples of my furs & look at them under a giant telescope.

The good news is...I haven't gained a pound. I'm still a petite 40.9 lbs. How much do you weigh Sherman??? Huh???? Betcha it's 10 times that, Chubs!

I digress. I don't have bugs. But, the V.E.T. told Mom that Al Urgee is gonna be here a while. We live in a super old house with an old furnace and I'm apparently very sensitive to old, crusty dust. Guess we'll just have to get rid of Sherman! She gave me some drugs to help the itchies and she suggested we get our Ducks cleaned.

Ducks??? WTF! Exactly where have Mom & Dad been hiding these Ducks?? Ducks are delicious! Penny & I will be happy to clean them...free of charge.

Don't think Sherman is gonna get away with this. Oh No. I know people. Wizards, actually.

Sherman, meet Joseph Stains...the Wizard of all Stains. Check out his giant wand.

I contacted Joe about my little "situation" with Sherman and he was happy to help. He's gonna give me a little lick at the pawty (don't worry boyz...just as friends).

He told me to whip up a little Witches Brew and put a couple of "Stain" drops in it. I'm to tell Sherman it's chicken broth.

Chubs didn't know the difference & before long...he was in a deep slumber.

And then....POOF!! Sherman turned into a Pumpkin!! Oh Thank You Master Wizard of Stains!

That will teach you Sherman! Don't mess with the Diva.

And just to make Sherman (ahem, I mean...Mr. Pumpkin Head) a little more miserable...I got my first ever Barkday Pressie from The Brat Pack!!! Thank You, Happy Hounds!!!!!

I'm not allowed to open it until my Barkday. But Sherman is gonna be Pee Ohhhed!! Neener, neener, neener...Dot sent me a Pressie!

See Yinz guys tomorrow at the Pawty!!

One week to go!!

WOO WOOO!! It's almost pawty time!!

My barkday is in ONE WEEK! Then I will be a big girl at TWO YEARS OLD!! I started out like this:

And now I'm big, like this:

I hope to see all you pups at the Pawty this weekend!!
