HAPPY NEW YEAR!! HELLO 2008!

Hey everydoggy!!
We'd like to wish you all a pawsome New Year's Eve and all the best fur the coming year!
We just wanted to say that this year has been our bestest year yet!! Well, it's been our only year really (except fur Maya, she had a few months in 2006)!! But we've had a pawsome time!

This year, we entered into the cyber world of dogs, and we became addicted!! We started out on DogChannel.com, saw someone's page with a thing about Dogster.com, visited Dogster, liked it, joined it, met Butchy and Snickers, got introduced to Blogger and Dogs with Blogs, started out own blog, met pawsome doggies, and had a blast!! We also found another website, DoggySpaces, in which we met other pawsome doggies as well! We never would have thought such amazing things existed!! And we are so happy we entered into these worlds of wonders!

Apart from the fun we had online, we had a great time in the real world! We went on lots of trips and met lots of awesome dogs and people! Oh, and Kena arrived to our home!! Apart from the hard times we've had with her, she turned out to be a great sister!!

Hope this year has been a good one fur you too!!

Happy New Year from our family to yours!!

~FIRE!!!~

Hey everydoggy,
Yes, we know the title sounds kinda scary, but it was nothing serious.

Yesterday, we traveled fur around 2 hours by car to Sacramento to go see our humans' good friend/aunt who is somewhere in her 70's and lives alone in an elderly home. It's kind of sad really to see people leave their family members in elderly homes when they are old just because they think they are worthless (but that may not be the case fur some of the people there). Well, that sounds kind of harsh, but you get the idea. Just because their old doesn't mean they are good fur nothing!!! >:( . Our humans visit her because she lives alone, with no company. She is a really really nice lady, and there's no reason fur her to have to live alone, you know? (This is kind of hard to explain, sorry!) Something that really touched our hearts and made us shed tears was that when her elderly friends saw us having a good time with her, they all celebrated and congratulated her fur having her family there. Let's stop and think fur a second... Do you know why they congratulated her? Probably because they rarely see families there!!! How sad is that??? They are such nice people!! One woman there even gave our humans some homebaked fudge!! *sniff* *sniff*

Well, pretty much the whole afternoon we spent at her apartment. We also drove around town fur a while, but then came back. When we came back, we settled down and our human siblings played a boardgame while the adults were having a conversation. We just slept. All of a sudden, we heard a really weird sound and woke up. At first we thought it was a doorbell or something, but hold on, there were no doorbells!! The only other thing it could be was a fire alarm!!! So our human siblings quickly grabbed us and went outside of the apartment through the backdoor, leading to the parking lot. Our human parents told the kids to take us and go into the car and wait there. The adults helped our aunt out while we waited. Then, a door from one of the buildings opened and out came a lady that worked there with a fire extinguisher in her hand. She was coughing a lot!! Our human dad rushed to her side and asked her if anything was wrong and if she needed help, she told him she was fine, thank you. Then, another guy ran out coughing, and he was carrying a tray of towels with smoke coming out of them with some tongs. He was coughing like crazy!!! So our human dad ran into the car and got a water bottle and gave it to him. He was very thankful and drank some water. Then other people that worked there came out coughing, but not as severely. They told our human dad that the towels the guy had taken out had burned in the laundry room.

Then, we heard some sirens approaching...it was a fire engine!!! Yay! The quicky went in the building and we didn't want to be in the way or anything, so we didn't see what happened. But after a while everything was fine. Whew...what a scare!! Our humans didn't have time to take pics, however, luckily, our human sister had her handy dandy camera in her purse!! So she managed to take some shots of the scene. But she didn't want to disturb the firemen or anything, so she didn't use flash, plus, she was inside the car, so the pics are not of the best quality.


Here's a pic of us looking at the scene from the back of the car. Exciting!!


Here's another pic of the fire engine.


Here's a pic of one of the firefighters going into the building.


Here, there are some firefighters standing near the tray of burnt towels.


Hee...hee...that's Maya!!


This is a picture of the hallway where the smoke was and through which the firefighters entered.


And here's a last pic of the fire engine before it left. The quality of the picture is better I think because our human sister got off the car to take it.

And well, that's all. Thank dog nothing happened and that it was nothing too bad. Whew!

Prezzies!!

Hi everydoggy!!
Sorry we haven't posted in a while...quite a bit of things have happened...but mommy was too lazy to post. Well, the thursday before Christmas, we got haircuts, and well, we have to admit, we looked pretty good!! I know we shouldn't be saying that since we're dogs and all, but all that hair in our faces was kinda getting in the way, you know? So yea.. Unluckily, we don't have any pics of us clean and fresh right after the grooming, but the pics below are pretty current.

Anyways, getting back to the main subject of this post, we had a PAWSOME Christmas!! Our humans went to a friend's house fur dinner, but they didn't stay fur too long. When they came back, it was time to open prezzies!!! Woohoo!! First, we got one present each from our stockings, then each of our humans got one, and then we got another one from our stockings, and so one. It went in a circle. Inside our stockings, we got lots of cute, little stuffed toys with winter themes. Our human mommy gave us blankets with doggy prints on them and these would be used on the sofa so that we would be warm (that's what they said it was fur, but we think differently, we think it was surely so that we wouldn't get the sofas DIRTY....humans *sigh*....). We also got bones from a good friend/cousin of ours called Anna. She is a cute little shih tzu and she lives like an hour or two away from us, we visited her a couple of weeks ago.


This is a hot chocolate stuffed toy.


These are three giant tennis balls which are as hard as rocks!! Chasing them is fun, but the fun ends when they stop rolling. Can't humans think a little? How are we supposed to fit these bigger-than-baseballs, diamond-hard things in our mouths?!?


This is Maya sitting on a chair next to her stocking.


This is Kena sitting on a sofa next to her stocking.


Okay, the little reindeer is a decoration, not a toy (but how are we supposed to tell?), and the pink thing behind it is a stuffed toy in the shape of a mitten. Plus it squeaks!!


And you can probably see the reindeer rope toy right there.


And this is both of us sitting in front of our Christmas tree. This Christmas tree was SO sticky though, it was kind of funny seeing our humans opening their presents and getting the wrapping paper stuck to their hands with all the tree sap on them. They had to use little wipes to clean their hands after opening each present. BOL..

Well, that's pretty much it! We had a really good time!! Oh! And we forgot to tell you that we went to Vasona Park (kinda far from where we live but worth it) the night before Christmas Eve. There, one drives around in their car through the big park full of Christmas lights in different shapes showing different scenes. There were dinosaurs, there was a Santa playing basketball, a pirate ship, and lots lots more. It was really cold though, so we took our brand new coats which our human daddy bought us with a little begging from our human sister.

Until next post!!

Annoyance Tag!

We've been tagged by Maggie and Mitch to list 7 annoyances and link to them in the post, then list and link to 7 more bloggers to do the same.

So pass this on to 7 more bloggers and notify them by leaving a comment on their blog.

We are going to do the same as Maggie and Mitch, splitting up 3 annoyances fur Maya, 3 fur Kena, and one fur both.

Okay, Maya's first:

1. I really really really don't like taking baths, and I especially hate the part where I have to leave the soap on fur a few minutes so that it will really work, and I don't like doing that because I start shivering!!! FYI to my humans-it's not exactly very warm when you are wet and the wind is blowing!! >:(

2. Another BIG annoyance is the black cat that lurks outside around our house!!! I've seen him on the fence of our backyard, on the side of our house, and on our front lawn!! I was so close to getting him one time, but unluckily, I had my leash on.

3. A third annoyance I have is when I'm walking around the block and some owner runs past with a BIG dog, and then I start barking like mad. I don't really know why, it's just one of those things you can't explain, you know?

Okay, and fur Kena's annoyances:

1. The first annoyance on my list is my sister, Maya. She's a sweetie and all, but she can be a PAIN IN THE BUTT! Ever since I arrived as a tiny baby she started pulling on my ears and biting my legs. Even though she meant it to be playful, it felt more like PAINFUL! But I love her anyways!

2. One of my annoyances would surely have to be grooming and taking baths. Grooming is just not my thing, and I'm willing to bet I'm not the only doggy that thinks so. I was born to live on the WILD side!! BOL....

3. And last but not least, another annoyance would be when Maya barks at other dogs, then I start to growl at her and bite her, but not in a mean way, I'm just teaching her not to do that.

And fur an annoyance that both of us share:

1. When our owners pet us too hard. I guess that goes fur every doggy. And we're sorry, but we couldn't come up with anything better!

Okay, and so now, the 7 doggies we are going to tag are:

Butchy and Snickers, Lacy Lulu Hudson, Momo and Pinot, and Scruffy and Lacie!
