Our
Lady Of Truffle, Birthday
bitch extraordinaire!
Today's the babe's 4th. Have a happy
one, fun fawn friend! & as promised on April 8, you, like yer b&w
brother, get the Canine Site-Celebrations Special. Here goes:
Herstory: Truffle first arrived
here '4 yrs minus 2 months' ago. For yrs 'n' ages, Cody-San'd asked us if he could
'have' a dog. Suddenly, the one+only real hurdle --moi-- finally agreed. On
our way home from picking the 8 weeks young sprout up, we decided on the name
Truffle; a perfect fit. That's 'er there both above und below, blisskies!
&
Boy, Does This Grrl
to play! She's crazy for it. Invites us 2 join her multiple times a day.
Toy in mouth, then dropped in front of you(r feet)... Toy expected to be picked
up & hurled across the hallway. If it ain't, then she figures you simply don't
like her choice of toys, so she'll go fetch the 2nd best
one... And #3... 4... Till you're up to your neck in 'em.
Young,
Cute & Clueless (Not the law firm!)
All
The Playin', Shakin' and Tuggin' o' toys throughout them few yrs
has developed Miss Fierce's tiny neck to have Tyson (the boxer-basher,
not them chicken brutes)-like strength. Whoa, she sure knows how to exhaust
one's arm.
Truffle
Also s to
be pet, 'n' ain't shy asking 4 it. Usually, belly- and chest-rubs are her fave,
and she'll happily roll over on her back so that you have perfect access. @ other
times, she paws your hand from a distance if you don't pet her soon enough. Bit
bossy, plenty cute.
Hunting is
another one of her strengths. Preferably snatching kibble/treat mid-flight, or
chasing it the moment we toss it in any direction...
Da
Dynamic Doggy DUO
Sphinx-like
+ Strategically Positioned on the back or an arm of our (her?)
couch she will happily alert us about/chase away each & every blade of grass
rustlin' in the wind. Or those pesky peeps 'n' pets walking past her
our house, for that matter. And the ones still far away, too/also for that matter. Hence,
we'll always be safe w/ her and her guarding skills (and little Ripley howlin'
in for good measure) there to serve and protect us.
Thank
You, Truffle!

For, some quick, incomplete personal updates:
Hello
Holland #1: We're all safe
'n' dandy, danks. Did put
some wet towels in front of the doors inside of the house, to prevent that
burnin' smell from entering; outside was smokey 'n' smelly, but no longer.
Hello
Holland #2: Anita/Wybe/Mare/Duco will be back from the beach/here some time tomorrow
4 the 2nd leg of their 'W Pine Tour 2008'. Kewl!

Mr.
Bearnivore, exactly 2 years ago today
Oh
Dear... Rob's Going All Mushy On Us. Well xcuse me!
It's
Ripley*s
Birthday, so let's celebrate the little booger! Happy 4th, small
great pal! And, not just at your domicile @ W Pine,
but also on-site, here, with a humble homage! (& lest
you lot worry: I hereby pledge to do the same for our Truffle come May 9th, when
her turn.) It's been 3 years since we
found you via the peeps o' PetFinder.com...
@ the time you were just one yr young. The
moment Jen showed me those spunky pics of you I simply knew that you were
the guy meant to be with Truffle and the rest of us! Ah, I still remember your
first night here, you a bit anxious but trusting,
being pet while sitting/laying on my lap on the floor in the hallway, me
waiting for Jen to come home with the take-out we'd called in... :-)
That's
'im There Above, Folks... Mauling His Dear Old Pal Rupert 'R.I.P.'
Bear. And
oh boy, does the guy
to snuggle! And charm his way straight 'into' the treats treasure trove by performing
his patented cute 'n' funky tail-propelled butt-wiggles of a dance routine when
in desperate 'need' (hint: always!) of a tasty snack... Furthermore,
R. takes great de-light in sunbathing, and in washing your hands and feet, s
to go for walks, s
to climb his way onto Jen's lap when she's sitting at her desk here... Plus, from
the cute-as-pie monkey sounds of him, he'd so much
to be able to talk human language. (Er?!) And, of
course, he s...
opening his --or your,
for that matter!-- presents!
Digging
into his BirthDay nibble, 2006
L'il
Does The Ripper Know ;-) that
this year we simply wrapped him some toys from the piles gathered throughout the
years, instead of pet-storing him some brand new ones... Because the small fella
is a lot, but this (ugh) 'toy dog' ain't exactly --no
matter the sentiments expressed in today's top pic-- much
of a playah. Ergo, the toy-abundance he 'n' his sister Chi already experience
will last 'im/'em for aeons ahead!
Murphy's
Lurve. Speaking of canine companions: I am sure Mr. Ripping doesn't
mind sharing today's spotlight a bit with young Mr. Murphy here... Another adorable
ChiHuaHua boy (... mixed w/ Pug), of whose plight My Darling Wife learned, online,
just a few days ago. And I think that last sentence doesn't flow too well.
Yet keep focused:
Bliss
'is tiny heart... Help Mr. Murphy have a home!
Murphy's
currently wishing for a new home! M.D.W. of course happens to think that our
fam. would best (ful)fill that vacancy... But unfortunately I have to 'beg' to
differ w/ her on that matter... :-( Allez, if you would
like to adopt little Murphy, or know someone else that would, then plz surf PetFinder.com
for the full scoop. Hey, help get that booger some snappy new loved ones!

In
The Evening, 5 of us went to Sahib

Which turned out to be rather amusing as well.
