I promise to start training….

October 3rd, 2009
Today, another round of Wiener races are taking place in California .  I was planning on signing up, but I’m not in the right shape yet to be running with all these fast doxies.  My year end resolution is start working out so I can compete next time.

Bark in the Park

September 23rd, 2009

I went to San Jose’s annual “Bark in the Park” last weekend and had a pretty good time.  I like it when events like this happens because I get to do something different that laze around in the house all day. Don’t get me wrong I LOOOVE being a sleepy poo but an activity outside of the house gets my tail movin.

My favorite vendors I would have to say would be :

(1) Mona’s Munchies

Why? Because they have a really nice selection of cookies/baked goodies for dogs AND they have SQUIRREL SHAPED COOKIES! For some reason, it looks really delicious to me.

(2) Gussied Up Dog Boutique

Why? Because they sell toys that is shaped like me!  The doxie shaped toy is also chewable and get this, it has a RAW HIDE in the inside!!! I can’t wait to tear it up but my  mom says she wants to keep it fresh… I think she’s nuts. *whine*
