Boxes and Boxes!

I'm back! I hope no one missed me too much. We were really busy, except yesterday, but nothing got done yesterday except for some cuddling - which I admit is VERY important.

Anyway, I got some boxes! This one is from my dearest Peigle gal pal, Ms. Lois Lane.

It smelled wonderful. She let me know it was coming and that there was a gift inside for Puppy as well.
Nose kisses for you Laney! And some for your Mom too!


I like this rope. That stuffie looks pretty good too.
Oh, and Puppy LOVES his rawhide.

So, Mom, can I open the next box?

What do you mean it has to wait until tomorrow?

Sigh.

Sniff ya later!

I'm ready for you Santa Paws!

First of all, a Merry Christmas, Season's Greetings, Happy Wintermas, whatever you're celebrating, I hope you're full of friends, family and good food.

Mom and Puppy were up REALLY early this morning and they sent out my e-mail DWB cards! Thank you. That was really nice of them, and it lets me sleep in.

Mom put up our Christmas Tree this week, but hasn't put up the star yet (she says Puppy is being needy - I think she's being a bit lazy, Santa Paws is watching Mom!) so I volunteered one of my stars. What do you think?


I thought it was delicious! Pei laughter!
BTW, way to focus on my butt there Mom. Sheesh! Grandad, Mom needs some serious photography help. She's lost it!

OH! Speaking of Grandad, he came to visit me on Tuesday! I didn't see Grandma anywhere around, I did look for her, in case she needed a snuffle, but she wasn't there. What'd you do to her Grandad? Hmmm? Oh, Mom says Grandma is fine, well that's good 'cause you know, SANTA PAWS IS WATCHING!

OK, so our tree is up and the cookies are in the cookie jar, we're ready for you Santa Paws!

Sniff ya later!

Pei-Ess - we got the box you sent Laney! We`ll talk about that with Christmas presents!

Waiting Pei-tiently

Here I am, waiting Pei-tiently for things to go my way. I was probably waiting for Mom to open the door so I could go out into my backyard.

Or, maybe I'm waiting for Santa Paws! Pei laughter.

Did everyone have a good weekend? I did! I went to Day Care on Saturday! I also delivered my Christmas Card, they LOVED it. It was written on my Pawgress report - Bolo always has the best Christmas Cards. They also said they love me.

Mom says we have a busy week ahead of us and I may not get a chance to blog a lot, but then neither will she. OK, as long as it's fair Mom. I hope we won't be too busy for cuddles. Or Ear Scratches!

Sniff ya later!

Part 4 - Photo Friday!

Part 4! I squeezed in a Part 4! Mom is so easy to bribe with cuteness. For those not up to date, please read Parts 1, 2, and 3 .

Oh, and I forgot to report that my Christmas Cards have been mailed, and some have even been delivered! This weekend I'll get Mom to send out the Pee-mail ones. If you want a Bolo card, and aren't on the DWB list, please Pee-Mail me bolo(at)magma(dot)ca


Mom says it's Flippin' Cold. Grandad said we aren't in the banana belt (Why would I went a banana belt?) Although it's never too cold to go out on Patrol! Mom calls me in much too early sometimes, but she said she doesn't want my ears to fall off. Hmm, yeah, I'd miss my ears if they fell off.

I'm saying Thank you Uncle Marty for fixing my pictures! He deserves a big cheer!

Hip Hip - a Pei!
Hip Hip - a Pei!
Hip Hip - A Pei!

Thank you Uncle Marty for fixing the pictures on my blog. Nose kisses to you.

Sniff ya later!

Part 3 - Pei on Patrol

For those who are regular readers, you know that I didn't get a chance to write on Tuesday and Wednesday so Mom owed me some blog time. You can find Part 1 and Part 2 at those linkies. Mom fell asleep before she could help me with Part 3 so I get TWO posts today. So, here it is, Part 3!

I had to be Mr. Super Protective Pei yesterday. First off, there were my normal sentry duties, making sure the back door and the front door are protected. Then I had to guard Puppy while Mom was in the shower - still don't know WHY she'd want to get wet so often, BLECH!. Then someone came to the door! It was Dad's Aunt Leslie, and my Great Granny and Dad's Cousin Margaret!

No pictures, Mom was asleep at the switch there. SHEESH! I made sure to tell our guests that this is my house but once everyone was all settled I made sure they all got snuffles. Aunt Leslie and Margaret were VERY enthusiastic recipients. Margaret even let me cuddle with her for a bit - I was ALMOST sitting in her lap. Mom is the only other person who thinks I'm a lapdog - Pei Laughter.

It was really too bad that they had to leave. Mom says Margaret will come back. WOHOO! Hopefully Mom will have the camera out of it's little bag and get some pictures!

I'm not done yet! Grandma and Grandad came over last night! I had to let them know that this was my house and then I rubbed up against their knees. They have very strategically placed knees for head rubbing. Grandad also gives GREAT ear scratches. Sigh, they had to leave too.

At that point though Mom went up to bed and I jumped up and curled up right behind her knees, just so she'd know I was there and protecting her from anything and everything.

I'm just exhausti-pei-ted today. But there are guarding duties to be done. The backyard and the front door need constant monitoring you know.

Sniff ya later!

Part 2 - Wordless Wednesday

Black Pei on Snow.

Three tims the fun - Part 1

Mom owes me 3 days of posts. So there! So, welcome to part 1.

For Tuesday, I didn't have much to say, but it's the principle of the thing. I'm taking good care of Mom and Puppy. Wish Dad was home too so I could take care of him as well. He's busy working though, so we send cyber snuffles his way.

I'd post a picture but Uncle Marty's server is down. I'll let him know and maybe he can fix it later for my Wordless Wednesday Post.

Ok, more couch cuddles and snoopervising of Mom and Puppy to do. I'll be back in a little while to post my Wordless Wednesday picture!

Sniff ya later!

Pei-Ess - Thank you Aunt Sharon for guilting Mom into three posts today! Nose kisses for you!

Monday Morning Report

OK, it's not Monday Morning anymore, but I was SUPER busy. Couch cuddling!

It's not what it sounds like, I don't cuddle the couch - well, ok, maybe I do. But Mom and Puppy were also on the couch so there was a LOT of cuddling to do. I'd get Mom to take a pictures, but it wouldn't have her in it. Hmm, maybe we'll try for that later this week. I'm sure there will be more couch cuddles in my future.

Oh, did I hear something about more cuddles?

Sniff ya later!

Bolo's Friday Adventures and Weather Report

Sorry about the delay in writing but there was a couch cuddle going on and I was not leaving until everyone was cuddled out. Well, we weren't really cuddled out but Mom needed to get up and pee. Go figure.

First of all, my weather report - it's sunny here, but cold and there's lots of snow on the ground. Dad has cleared up some space for me in the backyard so I can do my little thing. What a guy. Oh, not only did I have to drive Dad to work yesterday, but I had to rescue him as well! Not enough Daddy rescuing going on around here by the way. He needs to be rescued more often.

Mom on the other hand, well, she needs lots of cuddles apparently because she keeps coming over to lean on me. Often times I lean right back because I know she needs me. It's a rough life but some puppy has to do it right?

That's about it for me. Hope your weekend is full of Noseventures. Hoping MY weekend is full of Noseventures too.

Sniff ya later!

Good News Thursday!

A bunch of good news this morning.

First of all, my Mom has FINISHED MY CHRISTMAS CARDS! Go Mommy! WOhoo!
Second, they're being printed TODAY!
So when do they go out Mom?

She said Saturday AT THE LATEST! Oh Phew, I'm glad those are done. It took her a while, but it's done. Gotta love her.

Next piece of good news, I had to help take Dad to work this morning and we made two stops. One, for Dad's Sub. Puppy went into the store with Dad, I went around the store with Mom, check out the pee-mail and stuff ya know? The second stop was at a store where there was a guy standing in a big bin. He smelled interesting and he had a nice voice that I recognized. Mom says he was a radio DJ and they were taking donations for our local food bank. I went and gave snuffles, Dad made a cash donation and Mr. Radio DJ gave me scratches. He had never seen a Pei before so I was being a Breed Ambassador. I'm good at that.

Then we dropped Dad off at work and came home where I got cookies. That's what happens when I'm a Breed Ambassador. Oddly enough, it also happens every time I come in from outside. Go figure.

Thankful Tuesday or Thinking Tuesday

Thank you Grandad for taking pictures of me this weekend. Mom was too busy I guess. Sigh.

Photo by Grandad.

So there I am in perfect position for a couch cuddle. Did I get one? NO. I did get one later though. I should also say thank you for the Bolo Cuddle Sandwich I got two nights ago. I almost forgot about it - it was so long ago. This morning it was cuddles with Mom. Ahhhh, that was nice. No Puppy anywhere. Just me and Mom. I need more of those. Isn't it time Puppy went to his Forever home? What? WE'RE his forever home? Oh. I'm going to have to think about that.

Monday Morning Report

Santa Paws is coming to town.


Grandma and Grandad have left though. Sigh. Oh! I did get an Adventure on Friday! I went to day camp! They were SO happy to see me. Mom says I'm going back again soon too!

Other than that it was a busy weekend of napping with my people. Tough job but somepuppy has to do it. Pei laughter.

Sniff ya later.

Bolo's Friday Adventures and Weather Report

Well, it's been an interesting week, weather wise. This was Monday.

That's snow you can see on top of the BBQ. It didn't stay long. We had some sun and yesterday we had rain. Today, I think it'll be a bit sunny, but it's still dark out, so maybe it won't. Tough to tell right now.

Speaking of yesterday, my visitors came! Grandma and Grandad! They came to the house twice! The first time I wasn't allowed to follow them into the backyard, but then the second time they came in and gave me oodles of cuddles - which is what grandpawrents do oh so well. As you know, Grandad and Grandma love me lots and lots because they brought me cookies! FYI, Miss Lea at Poochini's Barkery (my FAVORITEST cookie place) now has online ordering. Did the camera come out of hiding at all yesterday to take pictures of me with my grandpawrents? Nooooooo. Mom is slacking off again. Luckily, Grandad took pictures of me yesterday, PHEW!

Mom has mentioned something about an Adventure today. Cool! I'm ready! Nobody else is though, so I think I'll nap a bit and conserve strength.

Sniff ya later!

Thinking Thursday

Mom says I'm getting visitors today but she won't tell me who. Darn her. I even tried to cuddle it out of her, no good. Sigh. It was nice to couch cuddle with her though, Puppy was asleep in his thing and it was just Mom and I. I need more Mom and I time. I also need more Dad and I time. Like last night, Dad and I took a Noseventure! WOHOO! Noseventures rule. I'm not sure if I want Puppy and I time, he doesn't do much of anything except fart. I do snuffle him sometimes though, just to see if he does anything else that's interesting, so far, nothing.

Anyway, here's my Thursday Thinking:

I think it's raining out.

I think I'm going upstairs to nap.

Some Progress

Well, there has been some progress, Mom took the camera out yesterday and took pictures. More pictures of me than the Puppy. That's got to count for something right?

Here's an outtake from what SHE thought would make a nice background for me Christmas Card - the beige blanket. I am so NOT beige. Really Mom, Puppy has addled your brain.


Lets see what she comes up with today.

Sniff ya later!

Monday Morning Report

I had an ok weekend. Dad took me to get my stitches out, my leggy is doing better.

There weren't enough adventures though. Puppy got to go places, but not me. Horribly unfair! I'm just as cute as Puppy! See, I'll prove it, here's a picture of me as a puppy. Aren't I adorable?

Oh, and still no work done on my Christmas Card. Sigh. What does a Pei have to do to be noticed around here!

Sniff ya later.

Photo Friday!

I need to teach Puppy to nap properly. Like this:

He needs more teaching. Off to do that. Happy Weekend!

Tuesday

Me again. Just want everyone to know that my owie is doing good, sorry to gross you out with the picture yesterday.

Anyway, besides family napping and having to take care of Mom and Puppy, nothing much new here.

But take a look at these Friday Frootbat ears!

Yes, I know it's Tuesday, but honestly, there's nothing to write about here. Did Mom work on my Christmas card? Noooooooo. Sigh. Can someone send her some organization vibes please? And an idea of how I should be posed. Mom thinks Puppy should be in my card....but it's MY card. Puppy can get his own. I'm going to nap.

Sniff ya later!

Monday Morning Report

Well my weekend started with a trip to the V-E-T. Everything is ok, but I hurt my knee on Friday. Mom says rear passenger side knee. Pardon the gory picture. We want to thank my lovely vet clinic and especially Dr. Cliche for doing such a great job on me.

ETA: No, Puppy didn't bite me, I hurt myself on someting in the backyard, Mom calls it a scraper. Anyway, Puppy doesn't have any teeth yet. Not sure why, I had teeth when I was 6 weeks old.

Sorry, it is kind of gross isn't it? Hope you weren't eating breakfast.

In other news, I received my copy fo the DWB Holiday Christmas Card Exchange List! WOHOO! If you weren't on it and you would still like a Christmas/Holiday card from me, you can email me bolo(at)magma(dot)ca . I'll be sending snail mail and email cards. So, does Mom have her act together to get my Christmas Card picture done. NO. She's really going to need to get busy on that, I want to send them out soon.

So, is this my best side?
Sniff ya later!

Photo Friday!

Just a reminder of last weekend. That's Puppy in the blue, and Granny (who Mom says is pretending that she's Cousin It - ok, whatever) and then there's me. I made sure Granny took good care of my Puppy - which she did. She also didn't forget about me, because you know, I'm just so unforgettable - Mom said so.

So I've been snoopervising Mom and Puppy lots and lots - even snoopervising NAPS, that's how busy I've been. Speaking of naps, I think I hear one calling.

Sniff ya later!

Boy, Mom really needs to vacuum.

Noseday

Well, some of you may remember that last year I ran a Nosevember Contest. What with Puppy coming and Mom not being able to help me a lot with my blog - though she has done pretty good in the last week or so (Thank you Mom) - I didn't have time to run it this year. Sigh.

Anyway, in celebration of Nosevember, here's a pictures that describes it all! Happy Nosevember Everypuppy!

This picture was taken by my Uncle Marty and his Super Nifty Macro Lens. Thank you Uncle Marty.

Happy Monday!

You'll notice I didn't blog this past weekend. That's because we were on ADVENTURE! We went to visit Granny and Bionic Grampa! Puppy came too, it was his first trip to their house. He's really quiet in the car, that's nice. It means I can snooze and concentrate on where we're going in peace.

We had some really bonding brother moments though. Here we are on squirrel watch. He's a great squirrel spotter.

We're back at home now, sigh. I need to catch up on my naps.

Sniff ya later!

Respect

Today's pictures is by my Uncle Marty. Thank you Uncle Marty.

Mom, Puppy and I just came back from a walk on the path behind the house. While we were there Mom and I almost had to teach a Boarder Collie a lesson. She was OFF LEASH and coming closer and closer to my Puppy! You can bet Mom and I weren't too happy about that! (Puppy was sleeping in his stroller thing - shouldn't he be walking by now? I was at 1 month old.) Mom even repeatedly said NO! BACK OFF!

Anyway, Mom says she bit her tongue from saying anything to the illiterate person who apparently can't read that dogs are supposed to be on leash, especially with my Puppy around! Some people have NO respect for rules that keep me and Mom and Puppy safe do they? For all that tongue biting, I gave Mom a Kiss - and she gave me a cookie when we got home! Puppy was still sleeping so he didn't get anything. I'll have to teach him that cookies get eaten when you come in from outside. Once he's awake. All that walking has made me sleepy too. Nap time!

Sniff ya later!

Wordless / Whispering Wednesday

Psst, please paws for a moment to remember our soldiers - human, canine and equine. Today is Remembrance Day Mom says, and we should never forget.

Tuesday

Would you look at that, two days in a row and I've been allowed to blog. That pathetic face I had must have worked. I did get my walk yesterday, thank you everyone for asking, Dad came home in the middle of the day and we went out together. Then he left again and came back later. I think he should have just stayed with us all day.

Mom has been super cranky lately, but she still gives good cuddles. I tried singing when Puppy was singing yesterday - just so no one forgets about me - I did say Puppy was loud right? Yesterday she said she'd had enough singing and if we were both going to complain she was going to head back to work so she could get paid to have people yell at her.

I wasn't yelling, I was merely explaining my position in a slightly raised tone of voice. Hmph. She did apologize with cookies, ear scratches and couch cuddles though.

I'm hearing rumours of something interesting happening this weekend. I'll keep you posted!

Sniff ya later!

Monday Morning Report

This is what I did this weekend! It was the Pumpkin Massacre! As you can see there were a lot of the orange hoard to attack. He even brought some green friends.


There were even more in the trailer.

I had to sniff everything out as you can imagine. I didn't get too close to the trebuchet though, not wanting to get hit in the head with a gourd you know.

Everyone had a wonderful time and we finally got rid of the orange menace. Sunday was spent recuperating. I heard Mom mention a W-A-L-K today with Puppy. I wonder if she's ready yet. I'd better go check.

Sniff ya later!

Towel of DOOOOOOM

I was once again tricked into getting into the bathtub. Sigh. The Pink Towel of DOOOOOOM made an appearance. (This is Historical Footage - the camera hasn't come out for a while.)
I'm glad Puppy wasn't around, it might have traumatized him for life. Dog knows -I'm- traumatized every time the Pink Towel of DOOOOOOM comes out.

So, is anyone doing anything interesting for the weekend? I don't know yet what I'm doing, but I hope it's fun! And full of cuddles!

Sniff ya later!

Friday Pathetic Face

I'm posting a pathetic face picture in hopes that Mom sees it and feels guilty and starts helping me blog more often. Puppy is certainly keeping her busy. He's loud too. Not all the time though, just sometimes. I did get an Adventure this week to PetSmart, and got to see my trainer Tanya. She was happy to see me and gave me some forbidden treats. Yummmmm.

Ooo, Mom's coming back, need to sneak off the computer.

Monday Morning Report

Phew! I made it through the weekend. We had SO many people come to visit this weekend - I barely had time to nap!

I had to say good bye to my Aunt Sharon and Uncle Marty though - Sigh, they were so fun to have around. Aunt Sharon gives great scratches and Uncle Marty is just fun to be around. He took me for a walk on Saturday and I showed him how to pee on trees and fence posts - real male bonding stuff you know.

Here's me kissing Aunt Sharon:

I also had to say bye to Grandma and Grandad. I did get to snuffle them BTW, Mom didn't have the camera ready but we do have some proof of snuffling, Grandad says I need to shave because I'm prickley. Sorry Grandad, I don't think I'd look good shaved. I hope everyone drives safely and comes back to visit me soon!

Today Mom and I are on our own to look after Puppy - Dad had to go back to work. So we're sending lots of love out to Dad! Don't miss us too much Dad! I'll make sure Mom and Puppy get some naps in.

Sniff ya later!

Happy Hallowe'en!

I'm here! I'm here! I hope you haven't missed me too much. I had so much snoopervising to do!

Aunt Sharon and Uncle Marty are here, so are Grandma and Grandad and then this Thing showed up and tried to eat my Puppy.


See? Puppy got covered in stuff. Mom says it's a costume and it does come off. Well good because Puppy is going to need to use the backyard at SOME point.
Now I'm snoopervising the putting up of the Hallowe'en Display as well as snoopervising Mommy and Aunt Sharon taking care of Puppy. It never ends!

Sniff ya later!

Tuesday's THE LOOK

I'm sending this LOOK out to the thing that goes beep in the hallway. Mom says it's a smoke detector and it needs a new battery. I say it's loud and frightening and it seems everytime it goes off and I need some reassurance, Mom or Dad have the Puppy in their arms and they're reassuring HIM. Hmph.

Ok, well not always. Mom and I had a good cuddle session last night but she didn't seem too happy about it when I tried to climb onto the sofa to be with her at first. She was kind of sleeping at the time. But that beeping thing still gets THE LOOK.

Sniff ya later.

Monday Morning Report

Happy Monday everypuppy. I hope everyone had a good weekend. I certainly did.

On Friday my Granny showed up to give me oodles of cuddles! The on Saturday my Grandma and Grandad showed up with COOKIES - to give me oodles of cuddles and the on Sunday I had a noseventure! Phew! Mom says this weekend will be busy too - probably because it's Hallowe'en! I don't have a costume yet, but then neither has Puppy. Maybe Mom will get us matching costumes. She'd better hurry, we only have a few days left before Party Time!
