Oh! New friends!

So apparently yesterday's blog caused a lot of puppies to come over and see me! I think that's GREAT! I like meeting new people.

So I'm going to say hi to everyone who left a message - as of this morning. So Hi to my bud Charlie Daniels - who hopefully will be getting apiece of chicken in the near future; and Maggie and Mitch, who are regular Bolo Blog readers. I'd like to welcome River - he's a beagle whose Mom always wanted a Shar Pei - which is funny since my Mom said she always wanted a beagle. NO! You're not allowed to switch! Hi to Gus and Louie - looks like they chase sheep. I'm partial to eating stuffie squirrels myself. Hi to Levi and Cooper too. Uhm, Mommy asked if you can try and find my predecessor across the Rainbow Bridge Cooper, since you're got an in- he's a Shar Pei named Shih Kwan - she sends her love. Bogart, Hi, nice to meet you! Man there are a lot of Airedales on the DWB! And Hi to Georgeous too, I like you're profile picture Georgeous, that looks cool.

Welcome!

I have to keep it short, I'm off to PetSmart Day Camp today! Mommy took pictures of how close PetSmart is to us, I'll post them when I come back. Happy Dance! Adventure Awaits! Sniff Ya later!

Let's Talk about Gas

No, not the kind Daddy puts in the car, I mean the stuff that WE, as pups – and maybe cats – I don’t know enough cats – are constantly being accused of creating.

My poor friend Charlie Daniels has been refused poultry treats because they make him gassy. But what about his Pawrents? Are they still eating beans and cabbage and fresh bread and grapes? Probably. Unfair I say! Unfair! Can we start a Chicken for Charlie campaign? Oh, and I’d like to taste it too please, I’m stuck with lamb.

Shar Peis have delicate tummies and when Mommy and Daddy had to change treats for my predecessor, he could apparently clear the room with an SBD (Silent But Deadly). Which he did periodically and then followed them out of the room going, Where’d you go? That’s part of the reason THEY don’t change my treats very often.

But think about this. They (and it’s not just MY pawrents, it’s everypuppies -and kitties I’m sure) are gassy ALL THE TIME. Trust me, when they’re sitting down, I’m at nose level! A lot more comes out of those sit upons then they admit to let me tell you!

On that note, I’ll leave you with another picture of me as a puppy.

This is me at about 3 months old. I think it was my first or second night in my furever home. That's my Daddy's hand on me. I was a little scared. You can tell because my tail is down. More about Shar Pei tail language another time. Sniff Ya later!

More Rain

Wouldn't you know it, the softball game was rained out yesterday. Sigh. That's ok. It means I got to spend time with my pawrents; and Mommy made sure I still got an adventure. We went to PetSmart. It's right across the street, I can see it from my front door so if it started to rain we'd still be ok to walk home.

Mommy picked up some Rollover for me - because we were running out - and I got to see one of my most favoritest people in the world: TANYA! Tanya was our teacher when I went to puppy school. Mommy says she was also my predescessor's teacher when he went to puppy school (more on him at a later date.)That's me in the hat, Tanya is in blue and Mommy is in green. This picture is wow, over a year old now because I've been with Mommy and Daddy for more than two years. WOW.

Well that was yesterday. Today, it's grey and rainy and Mommy decided to take a little nap. So I cuddled up at her shoulder and took one too. She likes having a napping buddy. Eventually she got up. But I didn't, and she was able to catch me in deep schnooze mode. That's Daddy's pillow I'm sleeping on.


That's about it for me I think. Maybe I can convince Mommy to come back and cuddle me for a bit longer. If not, then I might go outside for a perimeter check and a munch of food. Sniff ya later!

Is it Tuesday?

I lost track of my days there for a minute. Apparently it's Tuesday. Tuesday is Softball Day! It was raining earlier today when mommy was out doing her thing and I was having my morning snooze. I hope it drys out because I want to go and help Daddy's softball team win! I think I'll drool on the other team's bats today and see if that helps MY team.

In other EXCITING news: My friend Charlie Daniels sent me this!

Thank you Charlie! Mommy added it to the sidebar of my blog. And she redid my banner. I like it. That's a good picture of me. I was visiting Granny and Grandpaw when Mommy took that picture! Now I have to figure out something to send to Charlie. Mommy says I have an excess of drool. I'm sure Charlie can handle his own drool Mommy. I'll have to think, and ask Daddy. Daddy's really smart, he'll come up with something.

Oh, apparently I have to pass this along now. Charlie has his, I know Charlie sent one to Oorvi, but I think I'll send one too, and to Maggie and Mitch - Mommy has a funny story about being french kissed by an Airedale you might enjoy guys, I wasn't there so I can't tell it.

OH! Mommy just shared her idea of what I can send to Charlie with me. She's a genius! I need an adventure now to go and implement it. Move it Mommy! Adventure awaits! Sniff ya later!

Pei Addendum

For a pei-laxing day it's been full of adventures!

A walk with Mommy and then having to go out in the rain to rescue Daddy. Then a nap. Then THEY said ADVENTURE and WALK in the same breath and I did my happy dance and sing. And when Daddy opened the door, I zoomed out. Off leash. And headed for the road.

I was enticed back with the smell of my favorite treat - Rollover - and my adventures continued with a ride in the car, then some walking while Daddy went to get ice cream and then another ride in the car.

THEY didn't seem mad. I know I'm not supposed to go out without my leash and harness - I hate that harness blech - but sometime a Pei has to do what a Pei has to do. Oh wait, maybe THEY were mad. THEY cleaned my ears tonight. Sigh. Time for bed. Sniff ya later.

A pei-laxing day

After all the excitement of the weekend, it's nice to have a pei-laxing day with Mom where the most strenuous thing I have to do is look out my window.

Nothing exciting going on and I've barked the squirrels out of the tree. Oh, yeah, someone did come to the door this morning, but I barked him away too. I think I feel a cuddle coming on. Mommy? Mommy? Do you feel a cuddle coming on? Sniff ya later!

Father's Day!

Mommy says today is Father's Day. I made sure Daddy knew I love him by sleeping on his feet last night. And not kicking him off the bed. Now I'd better kiss his nose.

Love you Daddy!

Oh and snuffles to Grandad and Grandpaw!

((aside: there's a mother's day, there's a fathers day, when is Bolo Day?))
