Fit for a King

Dear world,
Yesterday we went to the beach and met Max, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Annie really liked him and thought they were a good match since they were both Spaniels. However, King Max took a liking to me, Princess Rosy. I felt bad, but explained to Annie that Royals tend to stick together.

Celebrating Bear

Dear world,
Today is our brother Bear's birthday. He would have been 13. So in perfect Bear fashion, we went to Bear's fave park looking over his fave beach and celebrated with his fave food. We are sure he is having a pizza party at the Rainbow Bridge Beach with Fuzz and all his friends. We miss him so much and think of him often, and he still always brings a smile to our face.

Please join us in celebrating our wonderful Bear!

Cocker Spaniel Meet-Up II

Dear world,
A couple of weeks ago, I went with Annie to a Cocker Spaniel Meet-up. Annie loved meeting up with her kin. It was so much fun, even for me, a poodle! There are so many Cockers that need forever homes. Five of them (pictured) were at the meet-up. Mommy said we couldn't, but I wished we could have taken them home with us, more Cockers for me to rule.

PS-- If you are interested in adopting any of these Cockers or want more information, please contact http://www.sdsr.org/

Today is Remember Me Thursday. Everyone around the world is encouraged to light a candle today. The candles honor the millions of pets who lose their lives without finding a forever home and shine a light on the millions of healthy pets who are still awaiting adoption. There are all different orphan dogs and cats and other animals that need a loving home. Both of us were lucky enough to be adopted. Please light a candle today and please,  please, please opt to adopt.

National Checkers Day

For National Checkers Day, I thought it would be a good idea to teach Annie how to play. Even though she was not able to beat me, Annie did really well at Checkers. So I thought I would teach her Chess. 

That didn't go over so well. I think I will take that slow. Luckily National Chess Day is still a few weeks away.

Miniature Golf Day

For Miniature Golf Day today, I thought I would introduce Annie to the game.  It was a challenge for her. First, she kept on knocking the ball with her nose, not understanding the need for a club. Then she kept trying to fetch my ball as it rolled toward the hole. I am not confident that she will learn to play golf, she is too much of a dog.

I Dream of Rosy

Dear world,
Did you ever watch  I Dream of Jeannie? Well, it has been 50 years on this date since it first aired! So I thought I would try to feel what it was like to be a beautiful genie . Well, the outfit fits perfect and its nice that a handsome astronaut is dreaming about me. Big down side is that I would have to reside in a bottle. I'll stick with being a spoiled Poodle sleeping in a king size bed at home.

Sugar's visit

Dear world,

We got to see Sugar again, this time she came to visit us at our house. I kept trying to get Sugar’s attention, but she and Annie were focused on lunch being served.  Then I totally gave up when Sugar decided to jump in the pool after the ball.  As Bear’s sister I totally understand I can never compete for a Golden’s attention against a tennis ball.

Collect Rocks Day

In preparation for Collect Rocks Day, I went to the basket of rocks that Bear collected from the beach. I picked out all the pretty white ones and gave all the others to Annie. I told her that now we each have our own rock collection. Annie is not sure what to do with hers. I think I will paint my rocks pink.

Rosh Hashanah

Annie wanted to know why strange foods were being served. I explained that tonight is Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the Jewish new year 5776. On Rosh Hashanah, we dip challah (bread) and apples into honey and say pawprayers asking G*d for a good and sweet year. I also explained that during these high holy days we need to atone for our sins. So Annie apologized for always stealing treat bags out of Mommy’s purse. I apologized for being very bossy. Then we both agreed that we would do our absolute best to be fabulously good girls.

Shanah Tovah!  (A good year!)

San Diego Chargers

Dear world,

This weekend its the start of the season for the San Diego Chargers.  The team asked the fans to wear white for the home season opener to "Unite in White" and make it a #WhiteHotSunday. Annie was concerned since there were only blue shirts in her size (she is not cheerleader material). I told her not to worry because she is always wearing white because of her fur color. She felt much better.

Go Chargers!

The Dogs of 9/11

Today is the anniversary of 9/11. It is a day to honor all those lost and recognize all that worked tirelessly during and in the aftermath.  As canines, we want to give special recognition to the dogs of 9/11.  So I thought a perfect way to remember those pups, was to read Ron Burns book A Tribute to the Dogs of 9/11 with beautiful paintings and stories about some of those special dogs. Thank you to all the dogs and their handlers for being there when humankind so desperately needed you.

Labor Day BBQ

Dear world,
For Labor Day weekend, Daddy did a wonderful barbecue. Annie and I both wanted the steak but there was only one. So I told Annie that since she gets tummy aches from steak and I am the Princess, I get to have the steak. She was slightly disappointed but got over it once the hot dog entered her mouth.

Cheese Pizza Day

Dear world,
Its National Cheese Pizza Day! So Mommy picked up a cheese pizza . Annie was freaked because it was still hot. She asked Mommy to put it in the freezer, but Mommy told her to just wait. I certainly wasn't going to wait. I took a slice right out of the box and dug in. What a fab holiday!

Skateboarding

I always see young teens skateboarding so I thought it was time to try it. So I got a pink skateboard of course, and it even had Disney princesses on it! Next, I need to find a helmet in my size, and it needs to be pink. Then I will need a lot of practice in my driveway since skateboarding is not as easy as it looks, at least not for a poodle. It will be a while before you see me on the half pipe!
