Toy Addict Award!

For the first 3 years of my life I never knew of the wonderful joy that toys could bring a girl. When I arrived at my new home there were lots of them here but I wasn't sure what to do with them until one day momma got me a squeeky duck and my LOVE of toys began. Since then I have had many toys and loved them till they literally fell apart. Currently I have to many toys to count...But love each the same!

I take them shopping

Nibble on them

Chase them

Say my nightly prayers with them

Snoopervise with them

Take them bye bye

I even have my portrait taken with them

So momma had The Purple Hatter make me this wonderful award. Thanks Purple Hatter!

Moo and Baa have left the building & some uninvited guests!

Well here are Moo and Baa in their magic box. We had to bid them Bon Voyage this afternoon! They are off to see our good friend Chloe Honeygo Beasley in PA.

I escorted them personally to the post office. The staff even let me sit on the counter to ensure proper procedure was taken. They even got a green badge of delivery for their magic box!

-----------------------

Bobo did want to go so he went to Doggy Nanny's house. I will let now allow Bobo to blog now.

Thank you Mollie. I am sure glad I didn't go the post office with Mollie and Momma...Cause...Doggy Nanny spotted a wood pecker (I named him Woody) fly into the window of the screened in back porch (Woody don't feel bad I have done it too) just before I arrived.

They took some pictures of him....here he is upside down. His under feathers are so pretty!

Then Doggy Nanny turned him over. Is he wearing a red collar? Oh no...its just his feathers.

In this picture you can see his face...He looks a little groggy. After a while he did get up and fly to a near by tree. He seemed to be ok. Good luck Woody...Hope to see you soarin' by my house again!

Just as Mollie and Momma came up to retrieve me Smoky spotted something by the side of the house. Doggy Nanny went to investigate the situation (Smokey ran inside...Scardy Cat!) and it was a black snake. It kept sticking its tounge out at us...Don't know why.



So it has been one eventful day for us two country poodles!

Pee Ess: Thank you all for the wonderful Birthday wishes! This has been one of the best birthday weekends I have ever had! Now we will return back to Halloween mode!

Pee Ess...Take 2: Addie Bo Baddie (My nickname for the little pipsqueak) will be on the first train up north in the morning. We will drive her part way and another volunteer will drive her the rest of the way. So tomorrows post will be filled with evil.....I mean cute puppy pictures that momma took while Addie Bo Baddie was here.

Molie's 9th Birthday Bash!

As many of you know yesterday my 9th birthday. So here is how the day went...

Where are we going?

To Doggy Nanny's house to celebrate my birthday! Moo and Baa even came.

Wow I got a camo wubba and two collar charms (a flower and a car) from momma. Thanks!

This was the best part of the whole day...we got to eat my birthday burger! Momma got the inspriation from a certian schnoodle blogger....BOL

Wow that was the best birthday I have ever had in my entire life! I can wait for next year when I turn 10!

----------------------

For some sad news...Now that my birthday has come and gone Moo and Baa must be on their way.

Here are the rules and stuff:

We want to send Moo Moo and Baa Baa on a journey to see how many US and Canadian cities they can visit. Each host family may keep Moo Moo and Baa Baa for one week. Once they arrive blog about their adventures in your city so that we can see where they are and what they are up to. When your week is up make a post asking for a new host family. The first US or Canadian family to comment gets to host next. We are sending a scrapbook along with them so that each family can put in their favorite picture and a little note about what they did and where these two stuffies went.
Since momma is a dog tag collector we wanted to incorporate something for her in this project. Before you send Moo Moo and Baa Baa off to the next host would you go one of the Quick Tags Machines (located in Walmart, Petsmart, Petco, or a pet shop) and get a fancy tag with your name(s) and state engraved on the back. We will gladly pay for any tags purchased for this project. Just send us a peemail at dogeared@bellsouth.net . We will include a little bag for the tags so they do not get lost.

A puppy, Jumping Jo, & Birthday Plans

Today is Mollie Jo's birthday and she is turning 9 years old today. Later we will be having a party at Doggy Nanny's house. Tomorrow we will share pictures from the party.


Introducing Addie or Abbie as momma calls her. She is an 8 week old red nosed pitbull mix pup. She was from the same litter as Onyx, Lucas, and Hope (the pups we had last weekend). The rescue that was going to take her backed out so she is going to be reunited with her siblings at the rescue in IL. She is half way there and will continue on Tuesday to the rescue (we asked that was the soonest a train was going out of here to the rescue).

Sitting pretty.

Her nails were kinda long and scratchy so momma tried to sand them down with the Pedi Paws. It scared her real bad and here she is barking at it. Eventually she learned it was not bad and sorta allowed them to work on her nails.

Playing ... with MY toys!!!

Still playing with MY toys.

All tired and taing a nap.

Momma wanted to show off the new pup to Doggy Nanny. So we all headed next door.

When we walked in Doggy Nanny was putting together a tiny trampoline so we were the first to try it out.

Watch me go!

Bobo was able to stand up ... but couldn't spin.
Brother leave it to the professional trampoline girl.
Oh...The apple pie is ready!

Doggy Nanny...That looks really good.

Smiles!

I am smiling cause I love being outside!

Are you serious?

Last night momma got an urgent call from her rescue friend in IL. She wanted to find out if momma could foster a puppy for 3-7 days. Of course momma said YES!!!!! Then she asked the typical q's...What breed...What size....Where is the pup coming from. Believe it or not this little pup named Addie is Lucas, Onyx, and Hope's sister. She was being held for another local rescue in GA but Wednesday they backed out on her. So the rescue that took her siblings wants her. How cool is that all the pit bull pups will be reunited. We will keep her until she can hop on a transport or Tuesday which ever comes first. So I guess one pup wont be so bad....Hey at least this time we out number the "others". BOL We promise to be good and not play too rough.

Here is what we wish we were doing....It is too rainy for us to be outside. We would melt.

Crazy Catchup Pt. 2

Welcome back to our Crazy Catchup Pt. 2

--------------------

We watched the 10 o'clock news on Thursday and they said that we would get some pretty nasty weather overnight. We live in a mobil home and the wind and thunder are really loud here. Grandma decided that we would go to the hotel so that we could get a good nights sleep. Boy are we glad she did....cause there was rotation seen in the sky about 10 miles from our house. No actual tornados came out of the storm but still thats pretty scary.

The next morning when we woke up in the hotel momma was finally able to get on the internet to check her email. She saw an email that read "Emergency transport for Cattle Dog named Bojangles". We emailed the coordinator and agreed to drive him from Paducah, KY to Marion, IL on Friday night. An hour later momma recieved an email that read "3 tiny puppies need overnight and Paducah to Marion leg for Sunday". So momma couldn't resist 3 tiny puppies and signed up to do the overnight and the Sunday leg. To save gas momma asked the rescues if she would keep Bojangles until Sunday and just make one trip to Marion, IL and they didn't mind.

-----------------------

On the way home from the hotel we stopped by Petsmart for us a snack and Sonic for momma some breakfast.

Ohh thinking of bacon. It was still raining that morning so Moo and Baa rode in momma's purse so they wouldn't get wet.

What to order....

Moo and Baa by the iced tea.

---------------------------

Friday evening we picked up Bojangles. He had traveled from MS to KY so he was pretty tired.

But still had enough energy to play with MY toys.

Bojangles loved the porch...He could see the entire yard!

He did have a pretty face.
Saturday morning the rescuer with the 3 tiny puppies called momma and asked if there would be any way we could take 4 more tiny puppies overnight as they would be going to the same rescue. Well momma thought if 3 puppies are fun.....7 would be even more fun. The rescuer thanked my mom so much as the 4 were going to be euthanized in a matter of minutes if we couldn't. That made momma cry! It just broke her heart to think they euthanize puppies.

------------------

Saturday at 10 the Marshall County animal shelter was hosting a Halloween photo event and we really wanted to go...because who doesn't like having their picture made? We had a big delimma....and it's name was Bojangles. Momma didn't think that far ahead when she agreed to keep him over the weekend...but never fear....Doggy Nanny is here and agreed that he could come up and spend time with her. So we did get to go the HS and get our pictures took! I have to say we both looked AMAZING! We gave a big donation and thanked them for hosting a wonderful photo shoot.

When we got home Doggy Nanny said Bojangles was no trouble at all. Just a little big for her....She is used to us hand held poodles after all. So we loaded up the car and headed home. After a busy morning we decided to take a nap with grandma before the puppies arrived.

---------------

Momma was curious about Bojangles past so she emailed the rescue in MS and asked about his story and he was a stray that was taken to Animal Control where the rescue found him. He had heartworms and had to endure alot of painful treatments. The rescue wanted him to have a new start in a breed specific rescue where they know the breed and find families that understand them. That is why he was headed up to IL from MS.

---------------

So Saturday evening around 8pm the puppy van finally rolled into Paducah and momma and grandma got to meet the little ones. There were 3 pitbull puppies, 3 shepard puppies, and 1 teeny tiny lone min pin puppy. They left us at day care and Bojangles at home. On the way home one of the pups made an ... how to put it nicely... an "accident" in the carrier. So when they got home they had to wash puppies and clean cages. But once everyone was clean and smelling good they started oohing and ahhing and snapping pictures. They stayed up till midnight playing with the puppies.

The Pit Bull mix litter. Momma says she thinks they are Pit bull / Boxer mix pups.

Onyx (male) (momma's favorite)

Lucas (male)

Hope (female) (Grandma's favorite)

Lucas trying to escape by licking the door open. Silly puppy!

This is the teeny tiny lone min pin puppy. He didn't have a name...Momma named him Sammy.

This is a female shepard mix pup. Momma named her Sheba.

This is a male shepard pup. Momma named him Dusty.

This is a female shepard pup. Grandma named her Snickers.

This is us trying to show momma and grandma that we are unhappy that they are not oohing over us.

The next morning momma and grandma had to be up at 5am to clean puppies and cages once again. We were taken to daycare at 6 am and momma, grandma, Bojangles, and the pups were off to Marion, IL. From there Bojangles was let off at Texico, IL to the rescue and the pups were taken to Kanakee, IL. The rescue reports everyone is healthy and happy.

----------------

Once everything was said and done the rescuer emailed everyone with the back stories of each pup. All are super sad stories so I warn you now....You may need a tissue.

The the original pit bull puppies came out of a cruelty case. The birth mom was owned by a bad person who kept her outside on a chain 24/7 and didn't spay her. When they found out she was pregnant they starved her so her and her puppies would die. A neighbor was sickend by this and reported them. The shepard puppies (that would have been euthanized the morning they were rescued) were strays found out on the streets of GA. No birth mother or owner were ever found. The tiny lone min pin pup (also was to be euthanized the morning of his rescue) was found roaming the streets when all of the rain hit and flooded GA a few weeks ago.

Great News!!! The tiny lone pup was adopted by the volunteer driver who drove the last leg to the rescue. She put in an application Monday morning. Word on the rescue email is that she is thinking of nameing him Oliver. We think that fits him well! Good Luck Oliver!!!

Sunday afternoon and Monday....Momma and grandma were so tired....they napped alot....and so they wouldn't be lonely we napped with them. Now everything is back to normal. We are back to blogging and are catching up on our blogger friends.
