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!

Sniff ya later!

Photo Friday!

I'm on the lookout. I heard there was an Adventure happening today! I haven't seen it yet, but I'm on the lookout!

Sniff ya later!

Thank You Thursday

Aunt Sharon and Uncle Marty sent us - Yes, US - a basket to welcome Puppy. All of us got treats in the basket - including ME!

A nifty magnet for one thing......

.....and cookies!
Thank you Aunt Sharon and Uncle Marty!

Psst, Rumour has it Aunt Sharon and Uncle Marty are coming to visit ME! I'll keep you updated.

Sniff ya later!

Grey Days

It's grey and a little yucky today and the leaves are turning, so I went back into my archives to find a sunny day picture. We all need a few more sunny days. There's plenty of room in my sunny day picture for others, so come and join me!

Ahhhh.

Wishing everyone a little bit more sunshine in their lives.

Monday Morning Report

It's been a busy weekend. I've had to snoopervise Mom and Dad AND Puppy. I'm glas I'm an accomplished snooperviser. There have also been daily noseventures to go on and a lot of this:

I have to make sure Puppy is ok right? I mean, he's MY puppy, I have to take care of him. Mom and Dad are doing a good job holding him, but I'm in charge of snuffling. Snuffling is VERY important to Puppy development. FYI.

I'd better go check on Puppy and let him know he'll be going on another Noseventure with me later!

Sniff ya later!

Pei-Ess - don't forget to sign up for the Dogs with Blogs Holiday Card exchange! Now, where did I put the linky for that? Ah, here it is at Miss Oppy's blog. We've already signed up. I have to get Mom and Dad working on my Hallowe'en costume before they can work on my Holiday Card though.

Photo Friday! (on Saturday)

Yeah yeah, I know it's Saturday. Everyone was very busy yesterday - including me - so we didn't get a chance to post anything. I just wanted to let everyone know that there have been plenty of Noseventures for me. Like going to visit the neighbours.

I even had a chance to bring Puppy to visit my lady friends at the PetsHotel! Everyone was happy to see me and they all said I was taking good care of my Puppy. Well, yeah, of course I am. Because that's what Shar Peis do! Pei laughter!

Thinking and Thanking Thursday

First off, I had to Think today. Mom told me that my cousin Stokey had to be helped across the bridge. Run Free Stokey, where nothing will hurt or pain you ever again.

Sigh, we've had too many of our friends cross the Bridge lately. Sigh.

Now for the Thanking bit. Yesterday my Granny came over to look after Puppy and I while Mom and Dad went out. Well you can bet that -I- had words to say about THEM leaving without ME. Granny was very understanding and made sure I got ooddles of these:

Nose kisses! Thank you Granny for remembering that I need cuddles too, it's not just about The Puppy.

Sniff ya later.

More Doga

I thought I'd show you more of my Doga pose. Still Upward Facing Dog, but I've included a meditative yawn. It's not necessary, but WOW is it ever nice. Pei laughter.

In other news, I've been very good about looking after Puppy, but at night, I want my cuddles! So last night I cuddled up with Dad. It wasn't the same as Bolo Sandwich Cuddles, but it was still worth it. Puppy seems to be cutting into my cuddle time, I'm going to have to have words with him.

Monday Morning Report

Happy Monday. It's Thanksgiving Monday here Mom says. So I'm supposed to tell everyone what I'm thankful for. My Family (Mom, Dad, my grandpawrents, my Aunties and Uncles, even Puppy) who loves me - even though I'm a little bit confused by this weeks happenings; and my great blogging friends - you guys are wonderful, in case you didn't know.

One nice thing about Puppy being here is that both Mom AND Dad are here at home with me. I'm still not getting enough cuddles though. Well, I never thought I got enough cuddles to begin with. Pei laughter.

Mom caught me doing my doga earlier this week. Upward facing dog. What do you think?

Oh, someone is going for a nap, I'd better go snoopervise.

Sniff ya later!

Hmmmm

It's been a busy week for me. Mom and Dad went out on Tuesday and only Dad came back and then I was off to Day Care. Uhm, but where was Mom? I was pretty worried. The lovely staff at the Hotel loved me and cuddled me, but it wasn't the same. It wasn't Mom.

FINALLY Dad came to pick me up yesterday and we walked home. Oh it was -SO- sunny and wonderful yesterday. When I finally got home I smelled visitors! Yup, there was Grandma and Grandad and MOM! I pulled Daddy all the way over to Mom so I could tell her that I missed her. Oh it's so nice to be home with my parents. Oh, and my Grandparents too - and the cookies they brought.

I also noticed there was someone else, but Grandma was holding it and I know Grandma isn't big on kisses, I still tried to snuffle her. Pei laughter.

I was able to investigate a little closer. It appears that what Grandma was holding was the Puppy Mommy was waiting for! He stayed overnight and I had to investigate him thoroughly, since it appears he's mine now and I need to protect him - because that's what Shar Peis do.

Hmmmmm.

Well, so far we have some mutual hobbies. Eating and sleeping. I'm not quite sure about him though. We'll see how things go. He's sleeping now, I'd better go and guard Puppy.

Bolo & Puppy Update

Bolo's Mom here, writing from the hospital. The "puppy" is here. Bolo is at Day Care until Puppy and I are able to come home. We'll write more when we're all back together again. Bolo is apparently getting lots of love and attention but I'm sure he's looking forward to being home too.

New Neighbours

I think I mentioned yesterday that I thought we had gotten new neighbours. We did! These guys (we didn't check gender, sorry) just moved in yesterday! There are three of them (two in the first picture, one in the second picture). We brought them carrots but they weren't interested. Probably because they had all that hay there. Anyway, welcome to the neighbourhood!




Mom caught this picture of me this morning and said I am Ultimate Cuteness. I managed to sneak in cuddles with both Mom AND Dad this morning - independently of each other. That just means more cuddles for me you know. But it also explains why I am in Ultimate Cuteness Mode. So Mom, are you coming back for your nap? Just so I know when I can expect my next round of cuddles! Pei laughter! Sniff ya later!

Monday Morning Report

Sorry we're a bit late on the Monday Morning Report gang, but I've had to snoopervise Mommy's sleeping. She's doing very well, but I think I'll try and encourage a nap this afternoon. Daddy looked like he needed a nap this morning too but he went off to work like he normally does. He really should have come back to bed with me after he let me outside to do my thing. I did hear him say that he wished he could. Maybe tomorrow he will.

Mom and Dad keep saying I'm such a smart boy and such a brave boy. Why? Well, because I am. Pei laughter. Daddy let me go outside last night before we all started getting ready for bed and I did my little thing and then came back in and headed upstairs. Only to find all the bedroom doors closed and the only place I could go was the B A T H-room. I stood at the door and gave a really long sigh and then got myself into the B A T H, all by myself. Then I stood there and used my Truely Pathetic Face to see if THEY would relent. THEY didn't. Drat. So I got a B A T H. I have to admit, they did dry me off with the macho Pirate towel (see bath post 1 and bath post 2 from last year).

It wasn't all that bad a weekend though, I also got Noseventures - and made my Mom's Birthday special by cuddling up to her on Saturday. I hope I get a Noseventure today because I thought I saw some new neighbours in the Little Farm Beyond the Fence. I think I should go welcome them. After I finish my morning nap though. Pei laughter!

Sniff ya later!

Hap-pei Birthday Mom!

I'm making sure Mom has a good birthday by sticking close to her. I fell asleep stretched out against Dad's leg last night and woke up curled up against the back of Mom's knees. See, even subconsciously, I knew I had to take care of her. She's also gotten nose kisses - lucky her!

I know she's also planning a nap, you can bet I'll be snoopervising that!

I think she'll have a very happy rest of her birthday - after all, I'm here! Pei laughter.

In other news, Mom took me on Adventures yesterday - I had to get a pawdicure though, but Mom made up for it by making sure I got to rescue Daddy! Not only that, but we also took a Noseventure last night! Something to do with pumpkin muffins. I know nothing about it, but it was a Noseventure!

Oh, and you're ladies are right Ruby and Penny, I am SO not a morning Pei. Morning should only start after a good nap, like say around 1030 or 1100am. Anything earlier than that is just torture, really it is.

OK, have a good rest of the weekend everypuppy!

Bolo's Friday Weather Report and Other Adventures

I would LOVE to give you my Friday weather report, but based on the time and the fact that it's blacker than I am outside, you get to see the look that I gave Mom for waking me up too early:

She said she had to be up and moving early because she has to take the puppy to be sounded. Yeah yeah, whatever Mom. I'm going back to bed. Dad isn't even awake yet. SHEESH!

Sniff ya later!

Tattoo Thursday

I'm glad everyone likes my new picture Tattoo. Mom is adding that into my cutest and most adorable pictures to safeguard my image. You'll notice she doesn't cover the nose or the eyes, I told her that my Nose Fan Club wouldn't appreciate that.

Sorry to say there isn't much new here gang. I had to nap with Mom TWICE yesterday, she's learning REALLY well that a good nap or two is VERY important to the continuation of good health - for her AND the puppy. It's a good thing I'm here to snoopervise her, I'm not sure what she'd do without me.

In other news, Dad told me that Mom's Birthday is on Saturday. Oh my dog! What should I get her? Cuddles and nose kisses I can handle, but should I get her something else? Last year I asked Daddy to get her a Toaster - which she still loves a year later. Any ideas, please let me know either in a comment or via pee-mail bolo (at) magma (dot) ca .

That's it for me I think. I have a nap to two to snoopervise today!
