Odds and Ends

Hi Everybody!!  Gizmo here.  It's hot and humid here in L.A. today, so we're hangin' out staying cool in the A/C.

First off, we'd like to introduce you to a new Rottie in the 'hood.  Her name is Orah and she's spending the summer with Eva the Sheltie and her family.  She has her very own website, called Rottie Tales.  Orah is beautiful, smart and SHE HAS A TAIL!!  In her country people are smart and don't doc rottie tales.  Please go visit her.  She is a doll!  

Secondly, we received our painting from Elizabeth Rank of Art by Elizabeth.  Mom had a painting of our Angel Sister Allie done.  We love it.  As you can see, Bart thinks it's very realistic!!  He walked right over to the painting and sniffed Allie's butt!! BOL!!!

Here's the photo that Elizabeth worked from:

Thank you, Elizabeth.

Lastly, Benny and Lily conferred upon us the prestigious Versatile Blogger Award!

We're supposed to tell you 7 things about our peeps.  Here goes:

• We are Mom's therapists.  Yes.  It takes 3 of us.
• A long, long time ago Mom used to want to be a photographer.  She sort of realized pretty quickly that it was a tough profession and she went another direction, but WE have helped her remember how much she enjoys photography.  
• Our dad has really severe arthritis in his ankle from a motorcycle accident when he was a teenager (not his fault),  so he doesn't go on our walks with us but he teaches us stuff like sitting up, and also getting OFF of the couch!
• Mom is in love with Orah and keeps chanting "i don't want a puppy, i don't want a puppy, i don't want a puppy" over and over again.  
• She keeps thinking she sees you guys in our neighborhood.  There is a Jack dog who ended up being a Jackie, there is a Frankie dog; yesterday she saw a Max (da'odder weenie) and one day she saw a brindel Mastiff walking with a black labradog.  She almost crashed her car!
• Mom never, ever thought she would have a blog.
• Once we knocked Mom down by accident and she broke her arm. And she still loves us!!

Who could resist??




OK.  So we're passing this on to 5 blog friends:
Shawnee
George
Bert
Mabel Lou
and
Amber and Max (da o'dder weenie)

Shawnee, George, Bert and Mabel Lou all go on wonderful hikes, swims, walks and adventures.  Amber and Max (da'odder weenie) are part of a big, loving pack which could really use some support from all of us. So if you haven't met these furiends, please go pay them a visit!!


Stay cool!
