My Look Outs

Guess what we did all weekend?

Diamond Loves A Good Treat!

Diamond Time

Ready to nap and dream of 'Da Bears...

While Rudy goes to see Dr's. Joe and Wendy this morning for some Sub Q fun, I am going to take a nap and enjoy a Friday with Daddy. Mommy has to go shopping all day and then pick up the Rudester from his "spa" day. Honestly, he's a lot better, but he's not a great groomer (never has been) and he's gettin' "crusty". Since he hates grooming, we haven't tried to clean him up and stress him out even more. Four more days of his gunky medicine. Then more tests to see what his bloods have to say.
I am glad I am a dog. Yeah, I have to go out in the snow to take care of business, but you can wrap any medicine in a piece of meat and I'd happily take it!
Enjoy your Friday!

A Lotta' Love...

Yesterday my 'rents took Diamond and helped raise money for an organization that helps feed animals of low-income seniors and helps to spay and neuter homeless pets. Diamond had a blast meeting all sorts of new friends and he was given a blessing by a very nice minister! The day was perfect for a walk in the park and the organization raised lots of green papers to carry on their great work. Win-win if you ask me!

Pretty Posies

Back in February when Mommy was fighting New Mona, she was sent this basket of flowers to help her feel better. It reminded her that good things are worth waiting for and Spring really was on it's way.

See it now? Isn't it pretty? Even Diamond enjoys the posies. Remember kitties, Spring really is just around the corner for us!

The Rudy Report

Well Hi-Dee Ho kitties, it's me, Rudy, with the Rudy Report!

Look at what I've been doing! It's good to have a dog-pal when it's so cold in O Hi O that Diamond really hates to go outside to pee. I think he's afraid he'll turn into a pup-cicle!

Daddy makes a pretty awesome pillow!

Diamond usually isn't wild about sharing Daddy with us, but he's realizing that I am warm and toasty to nap next to. Bet you wouldn't see this in July!

We needed to rest up last week because our living room is being turned into a different color. Daddy has been busy with paint and caulk and ladders and brushes and rollers. He said that if we went in there he would use my tail for a brush! You guys don't think he's serious do you?!?

Easy Like Sunday

Sunday is gonna' be a whole lot easier than Saturday!

Diamond was the only one of us who braved the living room with Mommy and Daddy during the big football game yesterday. Some football players showed up in Maize and Blue, but they didn't know how to play! Lots of word from the bad word list got used. It was awful.
But as Mommy says - there is always next year!

Peek-A-Boo!

Diamond Doggie has discovered a lump!

Who is under that blankie?
It's Puff! What a great place for a little nap!

Shhhh!

Diamond Has Morphed

Was has happened to Diamond Doggie?

He has sprouted stripes!

He has Zebra Butt! HaHaHaHaHa!
Diamond: Call me names if you must, but I have yummy noms!

Advice From Diamond...

When Mommy decides that it's clippy claws time for the kitties it's a very good idea to go up on the deck with Daddy and lay low.

Tuesday Toesies!

Hey! Those aren't mine!!! What the heck???

Diamond: "HaHaHaHa - fooled you again!

Formerly Feral Friday - Doggie Style!

Ha-Ha-Ha! You thought you were going to see Parker!

Instead you get me - Mr. Frootbat on Friday!
Admit it, this was worth the trip over, right?

Photo Hunt - Yellow + Awards!

Isn't this a great award?

Diamond Doggie received this groovy award from Titus. Titus is a great woofie pal! And we also received it from Millie's House! It's especially for Rudy who has been on his bestest behavior!

Diamond says thank-you!

Rudy says thank-you too!

AND...

The most lovely gals at Marks Mews also gave me an award! Isn't this cool?

The rule is that we have to list six things that make us happy.

1. Our 'rents

2. Our happy home

3. Our good health

4. Treats and Food and 'Nip!

5. Our deck

6. All of you!

Here's a yellow flower from last Spring!

Yellow Smoochies!

Easy Like Sunday - Diamond

Kitties, I can't even begin to tell you how many treats this little lab draw bandage has garnered Diamond Doggy. You will be pleased to know he is very healthy. Diamond (and all of us) plan on having a very easy and restful Sunday. Yesterday was hectic; Mommy and Daddy had a squillion things to do AND they decorated the ol' homestead for the holidays.
Here's hoping that you all have a nice and easy Sunday and that you still have some yummy leftovers to munch on from Thanksgiving!
Smooches!

Tattle Tail Tuesday

Mommy : "Who hasn't been putting away their toyz?"

Puff: "Not me Mommy..."

Mommy: "Uh, yeah, right Puff, I think that's your red puffy ball, your octopus and your 'nip tube."

Puff: "But the bone and the tug toy aren't mine!"

Mommy: Oh Diamond Doggie, please come here...

Diamond: "Uh Oh..."

Easy Like Sunday - A Diamond Meme

Chance's woofie brother Shadow tagged Diamond doggie for a meme. Diamond was very excited and wanted me to let him do it today. Since I am all tired and happy that the 'rents are home and the 'nip party on our deck was so much fun, I'm going to let him have a go at it! Ain't I nice?

Diamond - OHBOYOHBOYOHBOYOHBOYOHBOYOHBOYOHBOYOHBOYOHBOYOHBOY!

The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player than tags 4 or 5 people and post their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you have posted your answer.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago? I just turned 6 this month, so I think I was a Dogstar in heaven!

2. Five Things on my to-do list today. Help Daddy with the morning chores, be the referee when Rudy chases and teases the other kitties, chase the squirrels in the backyard, nap next to Daddy on the big comfy chair and be on "are you going to drop anything on the kitchen floor while you cook patrol" when Mommy prepares dinner.

3. Three snacks I enjoy. My Pill Pockets that have my Pepcid in them. Doggie Peanut Butter Pops, and Merrick's Pumpkin Crunch. Oh, and anything Daddy is eating.

4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire. That's easy, I would give the money to Mommy and Daddy and ask them to change the way animals are treated. Free spay and neuters, no kill shelters, law changes, no chained dogs, free health care for all of us, humane education in schools. It would be a different and kinder world for all of us! Oh, and I might ask for a lifetime supply of Peanut Butter Pops!

5. Three of my bad habits. I bark at the lady in the bloo shorts, I am sure she tries to steal our stuff every time she comes on the porch! I chase Rudy when he tries to snuggle with Daddy 'cause I get jealous. I refuse to learn how to sleep vertically on the bed. Horizontal is way more enjoyable!

6. Five places I have lived. At the mean breeders place, at Second Chance Adoptions, in the big bloo house in Kansas City and right here in the big red brick house in O Hi O!

7. Five jobs I have had. Referee, Snugglebuddy, Squirrel chaser, walking companion and food tester.

That was fun! I am going to tag any doggy out there who lives with felines and has not played yet!

Puff and Powder want to send a big shout-out to all the kitties who came for their Gotcha' Day 'nip fest yesterday! It was a lot of fun!

The flowers were delicious too!

Our Mother's Day Gift

Last October we were told by the nice people at Mutts that Diamond's adoption story would be included in the book Shelter Stories. We pooled our Temptations together and got a copy of the book for Mommy. She said it was the best Mother's Day gift ever!

She got leaky eyes when she saw this.
This is his page! And Puff got to be in the book!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you fantastic Moms out there!
