Windy Ears

For a week now we have had some furious winds here in KY! Momma got some pawsome pics of my ears flying in the wind so to give you a little motivation to get though the last day before the weekend I will give some fun windy ear pictures. Enjoy!!!

Snake Surgery

My pink snake was a clearance snake from Petsmart. She was the only little pink snake so I brought her home.

Here is a picture of me playing with her just after I got her.

As you remember from yesterdays post that cockapoo done bit her right in half. Thankfully it was a clean break and momma said surgery was an option.

We cleaned the wound, gave her a slight tummy tuck, and...

...Momma got to work.

The surgery went well and she is now back in one piece.

Thank you momma!

She does have some swelling but all in all she looks good.

Its hard seeing my little pink snake with all them stitches.

I have forgiven the cockapoo for now but see I have a firm paw on my snake. And still giving thought to the muzzle law.

Cockapoo: Destroyer of Toys

I was looking though my toy box the other day to see which toy would be suitable for chasing indoors while its raining and I noticed that most of my toys look like they belong on the island of misfit toys. Most have no heads, missing limbs, or are shredded beyond recognition.

The condition of my toys is due to the large cockapoo named Uncle Puppy. Look at those crazy eyes.

This is the last thing some of my poor toys get to see before they are destroyed.

EEK

Here is his latest victim...my clearance snake!

GIVE THAT BACK! Momma its a clean break you think she can be saved?

Meanwhile as we were uploading pictures he did this to my purple dragon. We looked all over the house and I can't find her poor ear.

For the safety of my toys I think I am going to have to enforce a muzzle law for the cockapoo.

2011 St. Louis Pet Expo P. 6 of 6

EEK this is part 6 of 6 on post 666. Thats too many 6's.

Anyhoo superstitions aside are you ready for the finale of our expo adventure?

First up is Musical doggie chairs. We didn't pawticipate as we didn't have anyone to watch the buggy. Grandma and Bobo went out to take a break from all the excitement and such. Anyhoo it was fun to watch!

This girl was all dressed up.

Is that a feather in her hair?

He is the "RALLY SQUIRREL" Quite creative.

There they go around the chairs. Now the funny thing is the music was the Spice Girls. Some girl band from the '90s way before my time but made it momma laugh!

Good job Mr. Lab!

And the winner was the border collie. He won a big bag of goodies!

After the musical chairs we stopped the little pom mix to ask her about her feather and her mom told us that she got it done at a booth on the far left side. So we trotted (or in my case strolled) right over to the Paws and Relax booth.

Picked a feather

And after momma paid $1 I got it placed in me ear.

Quite stunning if you ask me. Now your probably thinking it doesn't match you outfit....Can't go around all mis-match-ie (Mollie-ism). Well in only 25 minutes the costume contest was starting and red would go nice with my outfit.

So after getting my feather extension I took the rest of the 20 minutes before the costume pawty to count some milk bones (like counting sheep but better).

Then we headed to the arena!

There were hippos...

...static cling....

...Big bird and Oscar!

And of course CHIQUITA!!!!

Sadly they huddled us all in the ring and didn't give everyone a chance to see all the dogs before voting so I was upset not everyone, including my own momma got to see me twirl, but I still had fun.

Big bird and Oscar won first prize!!!

So after the expo we couldn't stay in the hotel and had to drive all the way home in the dark but it was nice to be in me own bed.

The next day we modeled our new collars and my new jammies from Sassy Classy Collars. Momma went back after the costume contest to surprise me with them. They are pink! I love them.

Even though a few things went awry it was a ton of fun and I enjoyed my weekend in St. Louis!!! Especially meeting Ziggy and the PIT BOSS!!!

2011 St. Louis Pet Expo P. 5 of 6

Today's post begins in the Cyber Cafe. This was our midday break spot and where we had lunch.

We also caught up with grandma's co-worker Angie and her doggie Scout. This is Angie and Scouts first expo.

We had some mini milk bones from one of the vendors and checked and pupdated facebook.

We didn't get to taste this, remember I had a problem hitting the BBQ sauce at one time, but momma said it was the best BBQ ever.

After all that food we took a lil nap...

...Then hit the last of the booths. Tagg was one booth we stopped by and I think I know a cockapoo that this might be good for.

Potty bells. Hmm Maybe Frankie's new puppy Ernie might needs some of these.

And Bark Central. Its a pet resort. Hmm...We have never been to a resort sounds fun!!!

Then it was time to hit the Entertainment Stage again for some listen to some informative speakers.

First was Viola, the rescue dog turned obedience dog.

She was accompanied by her mom and trainer. She was very well behaved but her mom said at one time she was deemed "hyper-active". She knew a lot of tricks too!!!!

After Viola Furry Ferret Rescue took the stage to raise awareness that Ferrets make great pets. This was our first time getting to see and experience ferrets and ya know what if you can get past the "looks kinda like a long squirrel" thing they are pretty cool fun little creatures.

After the speaker left the stage we asked if we could pet one and oh boy are they soft!!! This little guys name was Stinky but he didn't smell. We sniffed him.

And the Pit Bull Awareness group took the stage. This is something we are passionate about as no dog or human for that matter should be discriminated against or feared based on looks. One thing they talked about that shocked us was how many cities right there in the St. Louis area has BSL. She listed over 10 cities.

The last speaker of the day was none other than PIT BOSS and Hercules. And we had a front row seat!!!!

Shorty spoke about spay/neuter, his life, his rescue, Hercules, the myths of pit bulls and his show. Did you know Pit Boss is coming back on in JAN 2012?!?!?!?! Well now you do so be sure to set the DVRs. You know we will!

Hercules was such a good boy. And simply handsome too!!!

This Doberman girl couldn't keep her eyes off of him. BOL

During the time the speakers were on stage I noticed a few things...

This St. Louis Pet Expo Staffer's shoes were really tall. How can she walk in them?!?!?!

And that this is a picture of "parenting" at its finest! This little 2 legger was sitting next to us at the entertainment stage all day screaming, bumping into us, and flat out being a BRAT. Really this "parent" should have removed the kid from the expo. It plainly states on the flyers that any misbehavior will lead to removal from the expo. Come on people enforce the rules!

All too soon it was time for the Trick Competition. I clowned around with my hula hoop! I did sit, down, high five, and twirl in my hoop then jumped through it!!!

This is the other fur-celeb we met at the expo. Its none other than Ziggy-the adoptable dog from right here in blogville. Can you believe it??? He even entered the trick contest.

He bowed his head and prayed for the homeless animals! The crowed loved him and he took home 1st prize. Congrats Ziggy!

After his stage show Laurie brought him over so we all could meet him. He is a sweet boy! This was our first time meeting a blogger in the furs! Way cool paws!

Pee Ess: Come back tomorrow for the conclusion to our story and the HOTTEST fashion trend I tried out at the expo!!!!!
