Mysterious Pawrental Actions

We want to tell Oreo thanks for an amazing Demolition Derby!  We were so surprised to see our dad driving one of the cars out in the field!  We think next year we need to do a huge Blogville County Fair with rides, entertainment, etc. in addition to the Demolition Derby!  But for now we have to report strange things going on at our house.  First of all, our pawrents left the house Thursday morning and did NOT come home until the nighttime!  Mom took her camera so I sneaked a peek at what she took pictures of . . .







There were lots more but you get my drift.  (BTW, the ones with 2cDart are ones mom touched up.  Most of the pics are still "as is".)  Where did they go that these animals were there?

So then after that, the next day, they started taking all our stuffs out of the little wheelie house.  I told mom to wait cuz we needed that stuff when we go back to Bryce Canyon in a few weeks.  Mom just said the trip was CANCELLED!  Me and Stanley looked at each other in shock!  How can that be? What happened?

Then we were just listening to mom and dad talking and the next thing we hear is that they are selling our little wheelie house!  WHAT?  How can they do that?  What will we do when we want to take an adventure?

Me and Stanley do NOT know what is going on!  We were going to take the little wheelie house to the BAR in June!  (Mom says those who read the boring diet blog already know what's going on.) We are sneaking around the house trying to pick up some more clues!

Demolition Derby Day!

It's Demolition Derby Day!!  Make sure you pop over to Oreo's place to see the demolition derby!  After that, make sure you pop over to Dory's place to see the King & Queen of the Derby pageant!

Me and Stanley were really excited to see our cars and get in them and do some crashing!  Of course mom made us wear our helmets and fire-proof uniforms!


Love us some crash ups!


Stanley's focused on his furst target!


I'm gonna back this right into a crash!


After we get done with that we'll clean up and head over to the King & Queen pageant.  Oh, here's my Boo now!

FFHT - Bad Hair Days

This month's inclusion is: "It would be really embarrassing if everyone knew . . ."

For information on participating in FFHT click here.  (We are considering discontinuing FFHT after next month's inclusion.)









Me and Stanley always knew it would be really embarrassing if everyone knew that before we grew into the handsome doods we are today we had some especially awkward hair stages . . .

This was when mom kept our hairs long and I wore it parted down the middle.

This is when Stanley wanted the Rod Stewart look.

This is my Rod Stewart look.  Who wore it better BOL!!??!!

I must have been trying to get in touch with my inner poodle during this stage.

My curls were getting out of control and everyone asked if my hair was permed.

Stanley looked like a giant marshmallow.

I had so much hair that I looked obese when I actually was a skinny fella.  You had to look deep in the hair to even see my eyes!
I snuck this picture in to remind you how handsome I was under all the hair.
This is Stanley's Don King hairdo.
In this picture we grew our ears out to capture an early Beatles look.

We hope you liked us sharing our "Awkward Hair" albums with you.

Still Here

Just in case you thought we fell off the earth we thought we better tell you we did not.  Mom says the trouble is that "She's got nothing".  I don't know what that means but here is a picture to prove that me and Stanley had to learn to be the great posers we are today.  This was taken on our very first ever vacation to northern California (by Dory's house) in August of 2012.  We were 6 months old.

Paws In Pews

Sunday was Paws in Pews at church again.  Lately Stanley has started singing as soon as we get into the narthex.  His loud booming voice nearly breaks my eardrums so mom said we could bring furends to help distract him from singing.


Mom said it helped some so we will be able to bring them again next time!


Poor Van Gogh, he is now totally deaf cuz his other ear fell off!

Was That The Garage Door?

Stanley (OK, and maybe me just a little) never totally relaxes whenever mom or dad is not home.  


The minute we hear the truck pull into the garage we are at at the door in lightening speed (186,000 miles per second in case you were wondering).


Once they are back in the house then it's time to relax.


BTW, did you notice the cross stitch on the wall of the Lord's Supper?  Our dad did that!

Taking Care of Business

Mom and I play this silly game.  She takes all our toys and puts them on the rug downstairs.


Then I bring them back upstairs.  Sometimes Stanley helps but mostly I do it.


In our downtime, we do this:

Highly Specialized Scientific Testing

As part of the Chewy family of bloggers, we were provided with the following treat (free of charge) in exchange for our scientific testing and opinion of the product.  However, we have to say we had a few troubles with the scientific testing cuz we cannot hold onto the scientific tools with our paws.  So we had to rely on our noses and mouth Specialized Canine Science Lab.

This is the product we tested in our highly sophisticated Specialized Canine Science Lab:


If you want to read about it, just click HERE.


BOL! Did you like that joke?  Stanley thought of it. OK, being serious . . . the furst thing we did was measure the treats so you had an idea of the size.  Mom liked the size cuz she said she wants to make sure we don't turn into chubbos.


Then we subjected it to the Olfactory Test.  It is very scientific.


Having passed that scientific test, we further subjected the treats to the Gustation Test.


Then we carefully studied the ingredient list:  Beef, Dried Chicory Root, Cultured Whey, Salt, Lecithin, Garlic, Mixed Tocopherols (a natural preservative).  We liked that they were grain free for pups with tummy troubles.

Then we subjected it to the Ball Test.  Sorry but it failed on this one.


We further scrutinized the value and usefulness of the product.


And our final test was whether we felt comfortable recommending it to our furends.


 Congratulations, it passed our highly scientific testing!  Thanks Chewy for another quality treat that is made in the USA!
