Clubhouse Warming Gifts

Today we got a cool package from Echo, Meeka, Shyla, and Shadow.  They sent us some housewarming presents for our clubhouse.  Isn't that super nice of them?  We were really excited.  Here I am checking out the box.  Yep, it had my name on it!

Mom tried to take pictures of us looking at what was in the box, but of course, we were too excited to sit still, so she had to resort to video instead.  However, she did get some pictures of us with the cool card!  Here I am reading it.

Of course, Kat wanted to see too.

Here's all the stuff they gave us.  It's great to have such awesome friends!

We have never received a bag of fluff from our friends, so we had to take a sniff.  I now feel like I've pretty much met Echo!

Those mail man treats were looking so tasty, so Mom didn't make us wait and just let us have them as an appetizer to our Canidae.  Echo, they were delicious and you should get your mom to get some for you!

Finally, Wilbur LOVES his treats.  He almost ate the bag trying to get some more, so Mom had to hide it in the cabinet!

Thank you so much for the presents.  Mom says if the rain stops this weekend, we will make our paw print stepping stone.  I can't wait to see how it turns out!

I love Christmas!

Today the FedEx truck came to our house and gave us a BIG box.  It was from our Texas grandparents!  Mom wasn't sure if we should open it now or wait until Christmas, so she just put it on the floor next to the door.  I knew that my Texas grandma would want me to have anything that was in the box and I was also sure I smelled something delicious in there.

So I tried to be cool until Mom and Kat went into the laundry room to fold stuff.  Then I decided that it was my opportunity.  When Mom wasn't watching, I chewed open the Christmas box!  Guess what I saw in there?

To the untrained eye, you might not be able to tell what that is, but I know that it's a bag of Canidae Snap Biscuits!  I love those!!  Notice I concentrated my box chewing right at the spot the biscuits were located.  I didn't want to waste any time.

Unfortunately, at that point, Mom came out into the living room and said, "Steve!  What are you doing?"  Isn't it obvious, Mom?

So Mom ruined all the fun and took the treats out of the box.  I wasn't sure if she got them all, so I had to check.

Mom says I can have my giant bag of biscuits on Christmas.  I hope she means I can eat the whole bag just on Christmas and that I don't have to share with Kat!

Bye Ulee!

Yesterday Ulee left to go to her fur-ever home. It was a happy/sad event. Mom and Dad took all three of us on a really long walk in the morning so that Ulee would be sleepy for at least some of her car ride yesterday. It's hard to believe that we'll never see her zig-zag walking style again. (She liked to run back and forth across the path that we were walking, smelling things.) On the other hand, she's going to be very happy with her new family.

We packed a suitcase for Ulee. We had Mom write her name on it and then write things like "California Bound" and "California or Bust". Then we picked out dog stickers to put on it too. I wanted a lot of bone stickers and Kat picked out one that said "Fetch!" since Ulee does that sometimes. Here's a picture of her suitcase.I bet you're wondering what we put in the suitcase. Well, we put a bag of Canidae in it. Then we put a bag of Canidae Snap Biscuits. We also picked out some of our toys that Ulee decided were her favorites like the blue star stuffie. Mom had bought Ulee her very own Kong and Nylabone, so we packed those too. She also took her Lupine collar and leash that we bought her since she was chewing on her original leash and Lupine has a guarantee even if she chews it. We picked out a really stylish collar and leash (the Tropicana pattern) that looked fitting of a future beach girl. Here's Ulee showing it off. Here's a picture of the suitcase contents.Mom doesn't have any pictures of Ulee actually leaving. Her new family was taking lots of pictures so Mom didn't. Mom thought it was really cute because when they got to our house yesterday, Mom opened the door and was holding Ulee's leash and Ulee stood in the doorway looking really happily at her new family and they took a super cute picture of her. Mom thinks Ulee just understood that they were the perfect family for her.

Kat mentioned that Ulee's family brought us some treats. We took a picture of them. They gave us two boxes of Organix dog cookies, one peanut butter and one chicken flavor. We've tried the peanut butter and they are delicious. They also gave us a package of Zuke's Edible Dental Chew Bones. We have sampled those a couple times and they are really good. We know that Ulee's family was reading the blog before they adopted Ulee, so if they are still reading, we want to say a big THANK YOU!!! The treats are awesome! Well, that's our report for today. I hope everyone has a good holiday today! If we get some pictures of Ulee on the beach, we'll share them.

The Foster Abuse Continues

Poor, poor Ulee. All she wanted was a nice home to stay in until she found her fur-ever home. Instead she came to stay with us where she just continues to be abused. Kat already told you how she got Furminated on her first day here. Well, that's nothing compared to what happened yesterday. Yesterday she got Furminated again and then she got a bath! Gasp!! Oh sure, she's having some sick tummy issues and she pooped in her crate and got poop on her paws and legs, but I'm not sure which is worse - poopy paws or a bath.

Mom and Dad say Ulee feels so nice and soft after her bath. Ulee doesn't have lots of fluffy fur like we do. Dad says now that she's eating some good ole Canidae at our house, her fur will be nice and fluffy in no time.

Anyway, I just wanted to report in and document Ulee's poor treatment at our house. I'm just glad I didn't have to take a bath too!

Here's a picture of Ulee drying off on one of our new dog beds. (I'll have to post about the new beds later.) Steve
