ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everypuppy! Just so you know, my first ever refugees at the R.R.C. (see post below) were able to go back home today. They were very delightful guests and I was quite pleased with how my own emergency plan for FEMA (Free Entertainment for Massive Animals) played out...I just barked orders, but my peoples were very busy as meals were delivered in a timely & orderly fashion (if you consider a feeding frenzy orderly), belly rubs were abundant, tennis balls flew & bounced everywhere, naps were taken whenever & wherever and lots of love was freely given. The R.R.C. is closed for now, but I may just put my FEMA plan into action on a daily basis whenever I want to see my peoples get off their butts & entertain me...

Here the refugees are waiting very patiently for me to explain to them the activities of the day...They were very respectful of my toys and my terroritory and once the line of respect was established, I then was able to share my peoples with them & then the belly rubs never ended!
Here I am barking orders...I'm very good at doing this...as my mom has mentioned a couple of times (ok...too numerous to even begin to count) I can be a bit bossy...but hey...someone has to do crowd control!
I even scheduled time to give a lesson on roaching....flip over on your back...
...now squirm & squirm & squirm while growling & making lots of funny noises...

Here I am completing the roaching session with my best scary-face for Halloween....I don't think I need a constume with this scary mug, do I?

On this RANDAY, I am thankful for all the firefighters from San Diego & far away who risked their own lives to save the lives of those in danger. My thoughts are with all those people who lost loved ones, precious animals and their homes.

Love & Licks,
Randi

Refugee Camp...

Oh my dogness...it been forever since I've been able tell you what's happening here....& let me tell you...I COULD WRITE A BOOK!

My peoples returned from It-A-Lee last weekend....we have a day & a half of fun...& then suddenly my suitcase was being packed AGAIN & they were packing too...& taking lots of other stuff they normally don't pack in a suitcase...like papers & pictures & even Dublin who now fits very neatly into a suitcase!

I could tell something was very wrong...my peoples hurrying around the house & huddling by the tv & radio & calling on their mini phones....then on Monday they sky was green/grey & the smell in the air was absolutely horrendous....If you have a tv & have watched it in the last 72 hours, you know that I was now part of the largest peacetime evacuation in history since the Civil War! Guess I can add that to my resume if I decide to get a job....makes me a bit seasoned & experienced I think...

Thankfully we are now back at home since yesterday afternoon...but now some of my peoples friends were evacuated early early early this morning & guess what...my home is now the Randi Refugee Camp! Here are the first refugees ever at the R.R.C.

Clockwise from the top: Hercules - a yellow lab/golden retreiver mix, Jenny, (my mom thinks) a lab/great pyrenes mix, Chris, a chocoate lab/bloodhound mix (again, my mom's evaluations) & Zeus, a german short-haired pointer.

Herkie (as I like to call him) & Zeus are old friends - Dublin & I used to stay with them when my peoples would go away for a while....& Jenny & Chris are new friends..they just rescued their peoples along with Herkie & Zeus about a year & a half ago....

We are all getting to know eachother & they are all fun...my mom says I have to learn not to be so bossy & bitchy...that the R.R.C. needs to be a place of understanding & unconditional love & compassion... blah blah blah......

We've been having fun & making lots of muddy areas on the lawn.... More to come!

Love & Licks,
Randi
CEO of the R.R.C.

Don't Forget Me....

Happy Randay everypup! I wish I could tell you I'm doing everything I love to do today...but I'm watching my peoples pack their bags & my bags as well...They are going to It-A-Lee & I'm gonna be dumped off at Winston's again...They will be back in less than 2 weeks...that's what they are telling me anyway...but I think it sounds like a long time to be with little pipsqueek Winston...So, while I am chasing him around 24/7, no one will be here to photograph my pretty face...so here are some pics so you don't forget me, OK! Pictured above is my left eye, my wet nose, my pink tongue & my white chinny-chin-chin...
Here are my very attractive front paw paws....
My fuzzy underside of my paw paws....
Here is my white belly....I have curves everywhere!
And here are the teeth that Winston will be running from for the next couple weeks.... Meanwhile, I'm chewing on a bone at the moment & before that I was napping in the sun outside...so maybe this isn't that bad of a Randay afterall....

Love & Licks,
Randi

Apologies....

Hi everypup...Mr. Froggy turned out not to be such a good temp after all...he was fired early on...so my most sincere apologies for my lack of traffic to your blogs & info on mine. My mom/secretary flew back to MN cuz my grandpa wasn't doing too well...Unfortunately he passed a week ago while she was visiting. So my dad had to fly out to MN too & I had to pack my suitcase & stay at Winston's house. I'm quite certain that Papa Chuck (my grandpa) stopped by to play with Dublin at the Bridge...He was with my mom & dad when they adopted Dublin & brought him home...So I can just see the two of them playing catch & fetch by the Bridge...

Love & Licks,
Randi
