On The Mend

Mommy must be feeling better because the camera came out today. That could be because I made her laugh this morning. She's been really worried about me, so has Daddy. Daddy stayed with me ALL DAY yesterday! I helped him nap, and snoopervised him on the treadmill, and cuddled up to him while he was reading a book. Oh, and I kissed his nose.

I'm getting off track, sorry. I made Mommy laugh this morning. I was relaxing on the bed and she came in to see how I was doing so I wagged my tail - she likes it when I do that. Then I lenaed over a bit onto my shoulder and lifted up my front leg a bit. Mommy laughed and came to give me a cuddle and a tummy rub. I made sure she knew I appreciated it because I made my little grunting noises. That's why they call me a cuddle pig. Well, that and the curly tail. Sigh, I guess it could be worse.

So, as I was saying, Mommy took out the camera, and put it on her new tripod. It's at Bolo height so I had to investigate, because I have an investigating nose.


Then she went outside. WITHOUT ME! So I had to stand at the window and tell her I did NOT approve of this change of location! Especially without me! She finally opened the door again and blocked it off so I couldn't get out (it's the door to the front yard) but I was still voicing my displeasure so she finally came inside.

And I told her in no uncertain terms that -I- wanted outside time too! Oh wow, do I look like a cat there or what?!?!So she threw me in the backyard. Sigh. That's ok. I know I'll get a walk later, Mommy promised.

In other news, I've healed quite a bit. I think Mommy was wrong, I think there were only 6 stitches in total.
Oh! And I need to add this to my award collection! Thank you Gaia! I have to think about who to give this too so look for an edit later today after I think about it.
Oh, and I'm in the first batch of taste testers for Gaia's Mommy's treats! I haven't gotten my box yet so I will wait pei-tiently until then. Ok, im-pei-tiently.

Did I miss anything? If I did, I'll get to it tomorrow! Sniff ya later!

Pei-Ess: I forgot to add that Aunt Sharon and Uncle Marty sent me an e-card saying Get Better Soon! Thank you Aunt Sharon and Uncle Marty! Snuffles and drool to both of you!

Not so Ouchie Anymore.

I'm slowly getting better. Mommy says I've been a cuddle pig, but that I also have a right to be a cuddle pig. Notice though that it was HER who woke me up out of a sound sleep to cuddle this morning. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

So, on to the stuff I SHOULD have blogged about yesterday. Oorvi's Mercury made a wonderful Pei Clock. You can see it on the right hand side. I'm going to bug Mommy to put it on HER blog too. Thank you Mercury and Oorvi! Mercury, you did good justice to the wrinkles. And the nose! It's all about the nose. :-D

I also got an award from Gaia. I seem to be having trouble loading it. Hmmm. I'll work on that and get back to you. Maybe I can blog about that tomorrow.

So Mommy say I'm not yet a Frankenpuppy, I don't have enough stitches. There are actually 12. I thought there were only 6 but Mommy counted them.

OK, enough chit chat. My Daddy is home with me. I have to go and get my face rubbed by him. He's only here because of me, I'd better tell him I appreciate it. Sniff ya later!

More than I bargained for

I think it's pretty safe to assume that I got more adventure than I bargained for today.

Mommy and Daddy took me to PetSmart Day Camp today! I was so excited I almost forgot to give Mommy a kiss before I pushed the attendant through the door so I could get to the play room! Well, the kennel. It wasn't quite play time yet. See, that's when things started to get interesting, at play time.

The put me in the play room first, maybe because I got there first I don't know. Then they brought in another dog, a little smaller than me and a little redder. Well, apparently that dog didn't like me much because they attacked me. Yeah, I know! All I did was come up and say Hi in my pei-tastic way. The attendants got us separated in no time and I thought all was well with the world but then they did a spot check on me and noticed I was bleeding. So they took me for emergency stitches. Here's the after picture.

Six stitches went in there. I don't remember much about it, they gave me this funny stuff that made me sleepy. I heard that my Daddy called the vet - it wasn't my regular vet - and he could hear me barking in the background. All I wanted to do was let him know it wasn't my fault and that I was ok and they were overreacting. The vet didn't let me use the phone though. Darn it. I'm sure I could have snuffled something out if they had only handed me the phone!

So I didn't get much play time in today. I only got back to the PetSmart in time for Mommy and Daddy to pick me up. Sigh. We'll try again another day I guess.

Daddy says I have medicine to take, so I guess I'll have to be a good boy about that even though I hate taking medicine. I can tell that Mommy and Daddy were worried about me though. On a good note, I'll be getting oodles of cuddles. They're just going to have to be careful with my side. It's maybe a little bit ouchie. Just a little.

In other news, I saw that I got tagged for an award by Gaia and that Oorvi's Mercury got a pretty good looking pei clock going. I'm sorry guys, I'll look at those tomorrow. I think I've earned a nap today. Sniff ya later.

Tuesday

Not sure if there's a softball game today but I did hear interesting words not being mentioned in my presence. Something like, "I have to find Bolo's lunchbox." And "Day Camp".

So I've been an extra sweet cuddle pig (so sayeth my Mommy) and trying to find out what's going on. Once they say the words "Are you ready Bolo?" I'm going to sing and dance and run around the house in a state of excitement. They love it when I do that.

Sniff ya later guys and gals, I do believe there is an adventure afoot!

Monday Morning Report

Here I am in all my pei-ness. Sorry I didn't write yesterday but THEY kept me busy with cuddles. And now I see why. Does this look like me?
NO! This is a Boxer, not a Shar Pei. What is this Boxer doing on MY Mommy's camera? That's what -I- would like to know.

Here's Mommy's explanation. Apparently his name is Max and he's been coming into her workplace every Sunday since March with his person to drop off his person's hours for the maintenance boss. OK, I can accept this. Mommy says that Max really looks forward to seeing her every Sunday and runs to her when she calls and he kisses her on the nose. Whimper -I- kiss her on the nose. She said it's not the same and that I kiss better because Max just does a small kiss on the nose and I apparently try and kiss her nose off.

I don't know about this. I don't think I want to share my Mommy with anyone. Mommy says I'd have to share her eventually because she and Daddy want human pups. I already share her with Daddy I know, but she's MY Mommy. She says she'd love it if Max and I got together for a play session. Hmmm, I don't know. I have lots to think about I guess.

Yellow Bud, do you have any words of wisdom for a down and out Shar Pei?


Pei-Ess - that's not a real tear, I'm just trying to make Mommy feel guilty.

Whoop there it is.

There it is. My purple pink tongue. Daddy had to help Mommy with getting that shot, and I did get treats out of it. Hey, it's work being a photographers pei-ssistant. I'm not going to do this for nothing. Mom also got a few other good shots. I'll post them later this week, they make me look super cute and handsome.

Sniff ya later! I need a nap after this photo shoot.

Bolo's Friday Adventures and Weather Report

Mommy absolutely needed to go on a photo shoot this morning, so of course, -I- had to go with her. The sacrifices I make for her. Sigh. No pictures yet of my tongue. I keep yawning at her but she never has the camera in her hand. Bad planning on your part Mommy.

I like this shot of me. No, I'm not admiring myself in the mirror, I could barely see myself in the sphere, I was looking for the big squirrels anyway. But it's still a GREAT picture of me. And this blog is all about me. So it fits!

Speaking of squirrels. Looky what I found!Look close. Enlarge the pictures if you need to. SQUIRRELS! ((Mommy says groundhogs but what does she know.)) AND SHE STOPPED ME!

Sigh. I was SO CLOSE to following it into the hole! But NO! I had to whine about that. Some things are just not fair to little puppy peis like me. Sniff sniff whine.


On to my weather report I guess. Fanfare? Fanfare? Sigh. She's slacking off again. I see I have no fanfare for my weather report. AGAIN. I'll do it myself. Dun da da da! It's grey, overcast and possibly wet.
Look out for puddles. Especially you low slung doggies
And with that, I'm going to go and dream about what else lives inside the squirrel holes. Sniff ya later!

Pei-Ess - A belated Happy Birthday to my pal Maggie of Maggie and Mitch Fame (and her Mom) who celebrated her birthday yesterday and an early Happy Birthday to our Paw-Limpics organizer Lenny, who celebrates this weekend.
