What happened to your paws, funny-looking puppy?

Dad found this strange pup when he went to Shanghai, China 3 years ago. He said the puppy didn't bark and didn't want to play. We think he must be a guard dog! Belly Rubs, Tasha & Eva.

Time Capsule Items.

Hey puppers, Tasha here. We were tagged by Pippa to list 5 things that we would put in a time capsule to be opened in 25 years to show what dogs need in the future. So here is what we would chose to place in it.
1. Pups Must Have Treats. Here we are waiting for dad to say "OK" so we can eat our treats. We pups have to have our treats. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as its healthy and its not over done, there's nothing that motivates pups more than a good treat!

2. Pups Must Have Toys. Here are pictures of our favorite toys. First is Eva's bald tennis ball. Your ball can have fur or it can be bald, but we must have something to chase.


Here is my favorite ball. It is a junior size basketball. To me, variety is always good. Eva has her one and only ball, but I need balls, sticks, and tug-of war ropes.

3. Pups Must Have Extra-Special Treats. OK, we already mentioned treats, but for when we have been especially good, we need extra special treats. Our favorite is a frozen Kong filled with peanut butter. Life is good when we get one of these!

4. Pups Need A Way to Stay Cool. We agree with Sitka on this one. We pups need to have a pool. Not only do we get to cool off, but when we have to come in, we get a good rub down with a towel. That means more attention from the humans in our lives which is always great! Here I am giving a good shake!

5. Pups Need Dog Parks. We realize you can't put a whole dog park in a time capsule, but maybe plans for a dog park would work. A good fence and double doors on the entry point is really all you need. There is nothing better than being able to run around off-leash and socialize with other dogs. After all, we are pack animals!

We are supposed to tag 5 other pups, but since we are pretty late getting around to this (no thanks to dad) we'll just say that if there are any of our dog friends that want to list their time capsule items, that would be great! Belly Rubs, Tasha.

Slogans!

Slogans. Get your slogans here !

Tasha's quote-"I'm Only Here For The Tasha". She does think the world revolves around her! And movie quote "May the Tasha be with you." (Daddy will love this one)

Eva's quote "Naughty, but Eva". I'm innocent. I did not take the dirty socks out of the hamper. OK maybe I did. But if I look cute and give Mom kisses, she'll forget. And movie quote"I find your lack of Eva disturbing." Duh! Everyone needs an Eva.

Belly rubs,
Eva

p.s. My talons are too long so Momma is typing. So no pictures.

My Favorite Place to Be!

Sometimes I just can't get close enough to dad. Belly Rubs, Eva.

We're Rockin' Now!

Hi puppers and Girl Girl, Tasha here. Its been another really busy work for the dad. He's coming home tired and grumpy every night from work. We try to tell him if it makes him so tired and cranky, then he should just stop going and spend all his time with us! He says that if he does that, that would be the end of kibble and treats for us. So I guess that we'll let him keep going. But on to much more interesting things.

Look what our pal Holly nominated us for! We are Rockin' Girl Bloggers!! How totally cool is that?!?! Thanks ever so much, Holly! We feel very honored to get this awesome badge. There's lots of other great Rockin' Girl Bloggers out there on the net, so just to be mentioned with them is WAY COOL!!

We are supposed to nominate 7 other Rockin' Girl Bloggers, but we think most of our pup pals have already gotten it. If you haven't, just right click on the badge and Save Picture as..., save it on your computer and up load it just like a normal picture. We think that Girl Girl should DEFIANTLY have this one! Thank you very much once again for thinking of us, Holly!

We have gotten a LOT of new stuff lately. First it was a package in the mail! A bunch of fun stuff and one EEEEVIIIILLL thing. Check it out! There's an Evil Cuz, (that's not the EEEEVIIILLL thing), a scrunchy bone, a couple of Nylabones, a new poo bag dispenser, and yes, I'm sure you see it.

It's an EEEVIIILLL Furminator! NOOOOOOO!!!

The toys are great, the poo bag dispenser is a necessity, and the furminator is, well, NOT GREAT! Pleasure and pain all in one small box. Eva loves the scrunchy bone and the Nylabones and I think Evil Cuz is great! He bounces funny sometimes and I love to chase after him. We really needed new Nylabones, cuz the old ones were getting pretty stubby and the humans were tired of pulling all the fur off them. They also said something about those old bones really hurt if they got stepped on with bare feet. Humans are SUCH tenderfoots!

Look what our neighbor Bob gave us! Its a Doggy Driver! Your human can use it to throw a tennis ball. Bob is SUCH a great neighbor to think of us! Here's me checking it out.

Can we play now, dad?!?!

We haven't got a chance to try it out yet because our yard isn't big enough and SOME humans haven't taken us to the dog park in what seems like a hundred years! It looks like fun, though, and when we do try it, we'll try to remind dad to bring the camera with and make a video. Hope all you pups are doing well. We'll try to get around and check everypups blog here soon! Belly Rubs, Tasha.

Hey, Big, Wet Puppy! Where'd Your Fur Go?

Hi pups, Eva here. This is a picture that we found on the net and thought you guys might like it. I did!

Just click on one of the hyperlinks to visit Meeshka or the Harnessed to Hope website in the previous sentence to find out more. You can win some great prizes and help some less fortunate pups! Its a way cool thing to do! Have a great weekend!! Belly Rubs, Eva.

Happy 4th of July!

Hi, pups and Girl Girl, Tasha here. Its always a happy day when the humans are home with us on a week day! Being the 4th of July, that means there's been lots of fireworks going off so Eva has been spooked some lately. She's doing lots better than she did last year. She usually runs to her kennel and hides and shakes really hard, but last night she got some Rescue Remedy and here tight shirt put on and she stayed out with the rest of the pack! And she only shivered a little bit. Quite an improvement for the easily frightened Little One!

So we finally have a chance to respond to the tag we got from Ivy to tell you a little bit about our humans. First off here's somethings about momma.

She grew up in southern Minnesota, she works for a big, evil, banking conglomerate who she has to travel a lot for. We don't like it very much when she's gone and show how much we missed her when she finally comes home. She loves us very much and does lots of stuff to make us happy, healthy pups.

Dad grew up on a farm in southwest Minnesota and went to a VERY small high school. He only had 32 other people in his graduating class and he played 9-man football (1975 State 9-man Champions!), basketball, and ran track. He worked for Minneapolis-based rock bands for 12 years. He and momma met during this time. He went to electronics school and has worked for the company he is now with for the last 14 years.

Hope all you pups have a great 4th of July with your pack and don't get too scared by all the fireworks. We'll tag Sparky, Suzy and Kate, and Satchel.

I know its probably hot where most of you pups are today, so I will leave you with a picture of me from last March doing one of the things I love to do most!

Hope this picture helps you to feel a little cooler! Belly Rubs, Tasha.
