Ahhhhh.

I love a good haircut.

I got a haircut earlier this week. It’s the first time in 5 years that I got clipped all over instead of clipped and stripped. Whew. I feel better. When my furs are all bear-like, I just don’t feel like myself. My collar gets all tight. I trip up because my paws are all furry.

The phrase “does this make me look fat?” really applies to moi when I need a haircut.

What You Learned Today:

  • I hadn’t had a haircut since before Christmas! Whew!
  • I got clipped earlier this week.
  • Not snipped. I did that when I was about a year old. Ouch. (Well, I didn’t do it, my dogtor did.)
  • Now I’m looking more like a proper Scottie. And not a little bear cub. But bear cubs are cute…and I’m pretty cute if I say so myself. Well, not really cute, handsome is more like it.
  • Ah. A hair cut is a good thing. Thank you Godmother Carol! You’re the best!

Philly’s Gone to the Dogs! Woo Hoo!

I can't believe it! Snow!

Good grief! It snowed about all day at my house on Sunday and some of it is still around! It’s almost March for heaven’s sake!

Hey, get a load of this picture.

Yes! They’re doggies in the window! But they’re not for sale. They’re at dogschool! (Better known as doggie daycare.) These dogs were just hanging out in the window watching people watching them. But, as you can see, they’re more interested in snoozing than watching people.

I think this is a cute picture.  Here are some more photos from the City of Brotherly Love.

How cool is this? A dog store with a very cool sign and logo.

Signs in windows all over Center City. Seems pooches are welcome; poop is not. Good for them! Very clever, don’t you think?

What You Learned Today:

  • Philly is the City of Brotherly Love.
  • Of course it is! There’s a doggie day care where dogs hang out in the window!!! What’s not to love about that??
  • Do you have fun doggie daycares where you live?
  • But wait a minute….doesn’t Michael Vick play football for the Philadelphia Eagles????? I don’t get that…. all that love for dogs, but he’s, oh nevermind. But WAIT again…he’s one of America’s most “disliked” athletes. Check it out. There’s hope after all.
  • Back to doggie day care. Tell me about your favorite doggie daycare story.

Tag! I’m It!

My friend Mayzie tagged me last week or so (Thanks Mayzie!) so here I am doing my Tagged Duty. If you’re tagged, you have to answer these questions. Then tag some friends.

1.  Describe yourself in seven words.

  1. wonderful
  2. the center of the universe – wait – that’s FIVE words
  3. stubborn
  4. tenacious
  5. adorable
  6. different
  7. loyal

2.  What keeps you up at night?

Usually something I ate that didn’t agree with me.

3.  Who would you like to be?

I’m happy just being my sweet self.

4.  What are you wearing right now?

I’m naked. Hubba, hubba…. I usually don’t wear anything except when I go out for a walk. Then I have to wear a collar and leash.

5.  What scares you?

The sound of pops like gunfire, popguns, car backfires. FIREWORKS. Thunderstorms. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Can’t stand it. Makes me crazy.

6.  The best and worst of blogging?

I have to rely on my peep to do it for me. That’s a challenge at times. But, the best part is meeting new friends. Love it! (Hi y’all!)

7.  What was the last website you visited?

I think I tawdled over to see what Wilf was up to. (After tawdling over to Jazzi’s, Kyla’s, Hoke’s, Downunder Daisy, Rocky Creek Scotties, Julep and Derby, Etsy…..) OH…and I visited Miss Mazie to see what I had to do since she tagged me. But I visit her every day, too, and also, Douglas, Sweet William the Scot, Cowspot Dog, and…

8.  What is the one thing you would change about yourself?

Not one little itty bitty thing. I’m perfect the way I am. Don’t you think? Yes? Oui? Mais non?

9.  Slankets, yes or no?

Definitely NO. Not on your life.

10.  Tell us something about the person (people) who tagged you.

Well, Mayzie and I have lots in common. If you can believe that. It’s true. We don’t like it when bad things happen to dogs. Especially when bad people do bad things to dogs. Like try to ban breeds, dogfight, stupid stuff like that.

She’s bee-yooo-ti-ful! (She’s brindle after all – so am I – at least 90% of me is brindle anyway.) She’s happy. She’s all pretty when she dresses up. She’s a good sister to Brudder Ranger.

I’m happy to call her my friend.

OK…. Now it’s time to TAG eight of my friends…that’s hard to do because I have lots more than 8 friends. As Mayzie said when she tagged me, if you don’t want to play, that’s OK. If you do, have fun!

Here goes:

Kyla

Cowspot Dog

Hoke

Vanilla Bean

Angus and Molly

Jacque and Pippen

Max the Quilt Cat

Mr. Fox Tales

What You Learned Today:

  • Blogville friends do fun things. One of them is “tagging” somebody.
  • I had to think about my answers.
  • I think about lots of things.
  • Today, for example, I’m confused. It snowed a lot last night and now I have to listen to all the ice and stuff fall off of the trees and the roof on to the ground. It makes me crazy! It sounds like BIG SQUIRRELS running around outside!!! But it’s not! Whew!
