Monday Morning Report

Hello everypup. Time for Bolo's Monday Morning Report.

I had a wonderful weekend full of cuddles and naps and adventures with Daddy. He had friends over and I had to sniff and bark and check them out and mooch scratches from them. Sounds rough eh?

I want to introduce you to one of my toys. I mentioned it in a earlier post. It's one of the few toys that I have in one piece. I admit it, I'm a stuffie destroyer. Is there a support group for that? Anyway, meet Yellow Buddy. Also know as Buddy or Yellow Bud. He's blue on the other side, but he's still called Yellow Bud. My week is starting off slowly, but I'm ok with that. Mommy and Daddy were mentioning it was going to pick up speed by the weekend. It's going to be a Holiday Weekend here and we're expecting company. Company! That means people to sniff! And bark at! And mooch more scratches off of!

Sniff ya later every pup! I have to go rest up for the weekend.

Bolo's Friday Weather Report and Other Adventures

Dun da da da! Welcome to Bolo's Friday Weather Report! We have an 80% chance of wags with continued drooling throughout the evening. Expect kissable nose cuteness to carry on throughout the weekend. Pei laughter. That was inspired by Daddy. We've had a wonderful day today as you can see:Beautiful days where Mommy has the car leads to interesting adventures.

Adventure Number 1 - I walked Daddy down to the Subway to see Cheryl - she makes Mommy and Daddy's subs - it's right next to the PetSmart. Just as we passed PetSmart one of the attendents said, Oh! Is Bolo coming to visit us today? Unfortunately no, I have other Adventures to go on.

Adventure Number 2 - Mommy and I drove Daddy to work! This is always fun, but I still worry about Daddy when he goes off without me. I mean, if he's without me, whose going to snoopervise him?!?! Whose going to make sure he gets his daily ration of pei cuddling and nose kisses?!?!?

Adventure Number 3 - A follow up vet visit from all the excitement last Tuesday. Mommy was surprised that the Vet Tech recognized me. Hello! Not a lot of Shar Peis hang out in this neighbourhood you know. I'm getting the feeling that Mommy just likes to be surprised. So I had to wait for a bit because the vet was looking after another puppy who had just had surgery, I hope he was ok. Mommy got me up on that cold table and started kissing my nose. I kept on eye on the vet as he looked at my stitches, said I was healed and then shoved a thermometer up my keister. Mommy was nice enough not to look as I was ahem, undignified, so I had to kiss her nose.

Adventure Number 4 - Rescuing Daddy from work! It's a tough job but somepuppy has to do it. This time Mommy parked at the bottom of the hill and I HAD TO PULL her up. By the way mom, you really need to practice your focusing on ME when I'm pulling your arm because you insist I need a leash. Pei laughter.

The drag was a lot easier to do when we reached that tree at the top. Mommy didn't see these guys until after I spotted them so I pulled her off balance a little bit. Pei laughter. They're mocking me. Can you see them? Mocking me I tell you.Sniff ya later everypup!

I got mail!

I don't often get mail. I have been known to get birthday cards from my grandpawrents and I got a get well email from Aunt Sharon and Uncle Marty, but yesterday - wait for it - I got a box! It's a nice box. I'd be willing to share the box with those puppies who like tearing them apart, I'm not big on that type of destruction - give me a good pillow to rip apart any day. Sorry, I'm getting distracted. I got a box! From Gaia and her Mom! Everything was beautifully packaged! Nice job Gaia's Mom! (I figure Gaia needed help in packaging, she never mentioned opposable thumbs.)
It's my cookie treats! For those of you that don't know this, Gaia's Mom has started her own doggy treat business, TorrisTastyDogTreats.etsy.com

This is the MintyFresh Gourmet. It smelled WONDERFUL! Even Mommy thought so!
Sniff before you chew!
And then gentley take it from your Mommy's fingers because if you grab, you don't get anymore.
And run off and eat it where no one can grab it away from you.
Is there more? Mom? More?

Mom says they didn't travel well. Bummer. Gaia, maybe your Mom and my Mom can get together and discuss my Mom being a Canadian subsiduary? Hmm, maybe I can get Granny in on this too.

Either way, Gaia and Gaia's Mom, these cookies get my very own Shar Pei Sniff of Approval! And I'm a very picky eater my Mom says. Thank you for letting me be one of your test puppies!

I'm off to dream of more cookies! Sniff ya later!

Surprise Softball Game!

I LOVE suprises! I forgot that today was TUESDAY! TUESDAY is SOFTBALL DAY! That was a great surprise. Here's me with my fan club. Mommy should stop taking pictures and act more like a bodyguard. I almost had to sign autographs!

And here I am cheering on my team! YAY team! We lost 22-21. I think we were robbed. Very fun game though. My team played wonderfully and I'm so proud of them. Daddy got at least 2 runs in and he's hitting better than he did in the first game. YAY Daddy!

Mommy turned around at just the right time to snap this series. She says she LOVES continuous shooting. I figure maybe she should just get a video camera.
A Shar Pei in motion wants to kiss your nose! Pei laughter.

Sniff ya later!

Sunday Adventures!

Remember I said Mommy was making a cake for my Granny's birthday? Yeah, we had to deliver it yesterday. Lucky me! I went with them! A Shar Pei's work is never done you know.

It seemed like a long trip up but I just couldn't get comfortable in the car for some reason, so I couldn't snooze. I managed though.

My cousins Tia, Khaya and Gabe were there. So was my Great-Granny . She's used to having puppy dogs around, as you can see, I'm the recipient of some much needed tail scratches. She's good at those.
And I did get to give my Granny her birthday nose kisses. Unfortunately I couldn't run and play with Khaya because Khaya was recovering from an encounter with a porcupine. 28 quills in her mouth. I'm not sure if she'll learn from this episode.
Tia was quite most of the evening, but she did get in for ear scratches from Daddy's cousin John. Yay Tia!
And here's my cousin Gabe. He's the one the Rainbow Bridge is calling to. Mommy took a great picture of him didn't she?
Sorry this post is late getting out today, we got home very late last night which meant we had to sleep in this morning. Then it was cuddle time and a nap. All very important things. Especially for me! I was the one getting cuddled!

Sniff ya later!

Saturday Pirate Adventures!

Well, the excitement never ends at my house. Especially not for me! Daddy's friends organized a pirate themed water balloon fight and we went along for the adventure of it. So Daddy made a dessert. It's a Jell-o brain. Yeah. I wasn't offered a taste and frankly, I'm not sure what I would have done if I had been offered a taste. I did have to snoopervise the depanning of the brain and the placing of the cookies on the try.

Then we were off! Of course, my travel kennel made the trip as well. Which is entirely too bad, but I guess it was ok to have because there were three other dogs there and we were all a bit apprehensive about my reaction to them, so maybe it was better to half my kennel.

Mommy says this picture is a little too exposed, but I think it's a great smiling pei picture!

So this is what they did. They built small ships out of cardboard boxes and then threw water balloons at them. I, of course, had to check out the ships.

You know, maybe it's best that the kennel came because do you know what's in a water balloon? WATER. Water tends to be wet. I don't like getting wet. Still, there was a bit too much of this...
and this......
And not enough of this:
Sniff ya later!

Friday Pictures and Bolo's Weather Report

As you can see, Mommy took the camera out again. I don't mind, I get pei-d in cookies and cuddles. But I had to do a little investigating to make sure she was doing it right. She really has to work on focusing on the important things. Like my nose! Pei laughing sounds.
Then as soon as a pei gets comfortable, she comes to lie down on the floor with me. What do I do? I get up. And she still gets off a shot. I have a double chin! Thanks Mom, that's what every pei wants to know. More pei laughing sounds.
Then of course, we had to get my weather report picture (wait for it!) and Mommy tried her white balancing act again. You can really see what a difference it can make in the pictures.


This one was with the external flash. I remember that. I can see why some of you asked what colour I really was. It's hard to tell sometimes!So, Fanfare please! Dun duh duh duh! Nice job Mom. Time for Bolo's Friday Weather Report!

It's a little overcast due to the storms last night, but it'll be nice and sunny for a while with nice clouds, not related to the rain causing clouds, drifting around.

I know there are adventures a foot for this weekend. Mommy has baked a cake. Chocolate unfortunately. It's not my pei-day, that's in September. What? Oh! Mommy says it's Granny's Birthday this weekend! ACK! I didn't get her anything! I hope THEY sign my name to the gift tag then. Or I'll have to kiss her nose instead. Well, maybe I can kiss her nose anyway.

Sniff ya later loyal readers! I have cake snoopervisory duties to attend to!
