My Dogs

The Spring Princess

Princess got her Spring haircut Sunday because the weather is getting warmer and she gets hot easily with her thick coat she has. She was not too happy with me. I mean she is the best dog out of the three to groom. Just stands there on the table being patient with me. She looks at me every once in a while wondering if I am done yet, but most of the time she keeps her head turned away. I mainly shaved down her body, belly and legs with a number seven blade. Princess and the two other dogs hate their feet groomed so that was the only challenge I had. I left her tail and just trimmed up her head a little bit. I think I did a pretty good job. Not perfect but I am satisfied with it. Now, the real challenge are the two other dogs that I must do one of these days. That will be fun. Oh, by the way Princess forgave me for torturing her when I let her snuggle with me on my bed Sunday night. Thats my girl!

Princess Goes To School

It was more like Princess sneaks into school. So, yesterday I did not go to my technical school in the afternoon and two of my friends decided to spend time with me. The three of us walked to my house and of course Oliver and Lady were wary of them and barked but Princess was all friendly. Her face is so irresistable and loving. I decided I would walk back to school with them and take Princess to surprise my mom when she came to pick me up. When we got back to the school I thought it would be fun to sneak Princess in to meet my favorite counselor. Its Princess. My girl. The dog I always am talking about.

The challenge was how do I get this twenty five pound dog in the school without getting in trouble. So, I took my hoodie off and dressed her up in it. Princess looked like she was from da hood! It was cute and funny. She cooperated and just stayed still until i got in my counselors office. Princess has a lot of patience. Of course everyone there loved her. How can you not. She got smothered with love and she loved it. The best part was I told my mom to come to the counselors office so I could surprise her. First she thought it was someone else’s dog but then realized it was Princess. She was happy and confused about seeing Princess there.

I always wanted to bring Princess at least once into the school to meet my counselor since she loves animals. So, Princess and I accomplished that yesterday, If it was allowed I would bring Princess with me everyday and all day long but its not. She is my therapy dog. Helps me when I am down and is always there for me to hug and hold. I hope you all are staying snuggly warm in this cold weather and having a lovely fun weekend.

Cats

One Cat Love

Look! Its Callie cat. I know a lot of you have been wondering how my feline is doing so I thought I would do a nice update about the only cat that has my heart. As most of you know I am not a cat person but Callie is one lucky girl because I fell in love with her from the very first day I saw her.

Callie is doing great. Right now she is curled up on my bed taking a cat nap. Ugh. That probably means by the time I go to bed she will be awake and romping around. Thats alright though. It use to keep me up but now I dont hear it as much unless she is knocking stuff off my shelves and down the stairs. Crazy cat. She is amazing though. Such a wonderful personality. A personality that works well for me. When I need comfort I can just hold her in my arms and she will lay there calmly. Then when I want to play she is all ready to be an active young cat and show off her skills. She can put a smile on my face with her cute curious look that she has. The one and only cat in my life. I love my Callie!

Christmas family Holidays

Christmas Eve Plus A Birthday

We just dont celebrate Christmas Eve today in my family. Today is also my Grandpas birthday. Even though he passed away a few years ago he is never forgotten. We may not be partying down here but I bet he is partying up in heaven. Telling his jokes to everyone and eating cake. My Grandpa was my father figure to me and he was the sweetest guy in the entire world. Happy Birthday Grampa. By the way, the photo above is my grandpa and I.

So, today I wrapped the three Christmas presents I got my mother. Took me a long time since I cant wrap. I forgot how to partially but I tried my best. Callie had fun getting in my way and playing with the wrapping paper. Silly cat. Anyways, I hope she will like the three gifts. I think she will. Its really the thought that counts. Cant show you the gifts yet but I will tomorrow. Keep patient. Santa will deliver them soon.

Yes, the dogs and the cat have gifts for Christmas too. They are part of the family so of course they are on the gift list. The dogs are lucky I did not find any cute clothes that I wanted for them this year. Hehe. This year the dogs are getting some treats and toys. For Callie’s first Christmas with us she is getting little toy mice to bat around. Sorry Callie no real mice allowed in my room.

I took these two photos of the dogs today. Well, I took a set but I thought I would just share two and these are the two favorites of mine. I was thinking how we needed some pack portrait. So, here are two Christmas portraits of my pack. Amazingly they all stayed still and cooperated. What do you think of them?

Before you know it Christmas will be here. So, I will wish everyone an early Christmas just in case you wont be around tomorrow. My grandma is coming over for Christmas, which will be nice. Its always great to have the family together. Hope everyone has a joyful Christmas and has fun. I will talk to you all soon and will post my Christmas day adventure tomorrow night. Ho Ho Ho! Merry Early Christmas.

Snowy Sunday Romp

It snowed all day yesterday which gave us 3-5 inches of beautiful white snow to play in. Lets just say the dogs had a blast romping around, while I froze my tush off. Since the dogs felt like running and jumping through the snow I grabbed my camera and starting photographing the acttion…

There goes Oliver starting the playtime by getting lady to chase him. Look at that boy jump!

Lady is the least fond of snow so she just plays for a few minutes and then stands on the porch to watch. Doesnt she look cute in the christmas collar?

Oliver just kept jumping over that branch as if it was no difficulty. He would be so good at agility if he could keep focus for more than a second.

Oliver zooming by to see how fast he can go. Go Oliver go!

The opponent… Princess.

Oliver takes his jumping moves all over her. She stands strong.

Princess tries to bring Oliver to the ground. She fails.

Next, Oliver turns and slows down the Princess with his skilled moves.

Since Princess is middle aged the two opponents decided to take a quick break together before turning against each other.

Oliver stretching and showing off his cute Christmas shirt that says fleas navidad.

Look at that messy snowy face he has. Thats a face of fun.

Before going after Princess Oliver decided to see if Lady wants to join in…she refuses.

Now look at Princess’ face. She is showing off all the snow on her face. She wants to win the contest of most snow on face. You win girl!

Oliver trying to shove Princess out of the way because he thinks he has the better singing voice. I will let Lady decide on that one.

Oliver got what he wanted. He got Princess after him again. The challenge is back on.

Both standing strong. Who will take out who?

The race is on. Run!

A cropped version of the phoot above. You can see how serious Oliver is about winning. Making sure Princess wont pass him.

Ah, and Princess won the race! Dont worry Oliver there is always next time.

Yoda Princess romping around to celebrate.

Princess is hoping you all enjoyed the action and photos.

Stay tuned for the next challenge when the dogs decide to romp around again.

Peace.

Playground Princess

It was freezing today but that did not stop Princess and I from going to the school playground near my house. I took my camera and camcorder, which means I got a few photos and video clips. There was no one there so we had it all to ourselves and got some important bonding time. Princess and I definitely need to go on more adventures together.

A Thankful Thanksgiving

Do you know why I love Thanksgiving? Alright, besides all of the good food and seeing family. Its a time to remember of everything that I am thankful for and I cherish. I mean really we should all realize what we are thankful for everyday but sometimes we forget.

There is so much that I am thankful for. I am not going into deep detail because the list probably would never end. The main two people that I am thankful for are my mother and my grandma. I would not be the person that I am today if it was not for their guidance and love. My family may be small but its strong and we stick together through everything. Love is stronger than anything.Thanks mother and grandma.

Another thing I am thankful for are my furry family. They are always teaching me something through their patience, love and their unique personalities. They give so much love and sometimes more love than a lot of people out there. They may not talk but they really help guide me through life. Knowing that they will always love me and be there is all I need from them. Thanks Princess, Lady, Oliver and Callie.

Last thing that I am thankful for that I am going to share is Life. Sounds ridiculous? Well, its not. You never know when you could be taking your last walk, eating your last meal or even breathing your last breath. We all know life is short but sometimes we do not realize how short it can be. No one knows exactly when they are going to die. So, cherish every second of it and take every chance you get to enjoy it. Thanks God for giving me life.

It was a great day full of family time with my mom and grandma. Since, my grandma lives in an assistant living place my mom brought her over to our house for Thanksgiving. She had fun and enjoyed seeing me. Grandma has a tendency to repeat herself but what would you expect at her grand age. Hey, at least I will never forget our conversations. They are glued into my brain. She sure is one tough lady and enjoyed the food mom made. P.S. She thought it was Christmas. I guess she is excited for gifts. Do not worry Grandma, Christmas will be here shortly.

The only time you will ever see my mom spend hours in the kitchen cooking is for holidays like Thanksgiving. She is not a big cooker but when she does cook it tastes good. All the food was good today. Well, besides the zucchini, but thats because I dont like it. Eww. Icky. I did eat the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans and the mashed yams. I was stuffed after all that food. Probably gained a few pounds but thats alright. That will burn off pretty quickly.

I hope everyone had a nice thankful Thanksgiving like I did. Hope you all ate a lot and had a few laughs. I do hope you all took a moment and realized what you are truely thankful for. So, my question for you all is what is your favorite food to eat on Thanksgiving? Mine is stuffing. Its always yummy and good. Stay thankful. Peace.

Bath Day

I spent most of my Saturday bathing the dogs. Killing the pesky fleas and making them smell good. The faces they gave me were so sad and cute at the same time that I could not resist grabbing my camera and photographing them. For your information they were not very fond of me for the rest of the day. Well, until it was dinner time and they became all lovey dovey. Dogs…gotta love them!

Dogs Are Inspiration

TheDogPrincess_09

There is a lot in life that inspires me to move forward and try to succeed. But dogs inspire me the most. With their eyes, expressions and just their passion to live in the day keeps me going. Princess who is in the photo above is my main guide in life. Thats my girl. The one I can hug hug hug and she will just stay where she is until I feel better. She has a lot of patience and that to me is very important in life. I use to be very impatient. At least when I was younger. I would go nuts if I did not get food in my stomach as soon as I was hungry. I may still be upset if I do not eat for a long time but I can wait now. I can sit in a restaurant and not throw utensils around and draw on walls. Okay, I never drew on walls when I was hungry but it sounded like something I would do if I had a crayon in my little hands.

Lady6_09

Speaking of food and being hungry, here is the Lady. Food freak of the pack. She inspires me to eat all I can. Just grab anything that is edible. She is right though. You never know when you could be living with no food. Just think of all the poor people in the world who search for a piece of bread everyday and thats how they live their life. She makes me thankful that I have food that I can eat and share with the pack. We take so much for granted in life and dont stop to realize how precious everything we have is.

PuppyFaceOliver_09

Ah, its Oliver. The spunky happy pill of the pack. He makes me laugh everyday someway or another. Oliver is such a inspiration to just live. He is so happy and playful. All he wants to do is live life. He takes every chance he can get out there and enjoy life. You all know the energizer bunny. Well, Oliver is the energizer puppy. So, if Oliver could talk to you all he would tell all of you to always have fun no matter how old you are. Live life to the fullest and just go crazy. Well, just not too crazy.

I took these photos of the pooches today. Sun was out for once so I grabbed my camera and took a lot of great photos of the pack. You can see the rest of the photos on my flickr page. There are a lot of new ones because I liked most of them I took today. I hope you do too. Let me know what you think of them and I would also like to know what is your inspirations in life. Everyone has atleast one even if you do not realize it. It could be anything that just inspires you one way or another. Well, I am going to listen to some tunes and surf the net for awhile until I am sleepy to sleep. Stay inspired. Peace.
