ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everybody!...since tomorrow is a holiday, its a double Randay! & on this Randay Holiday weekend, I'm celebrating the simple things in life...Like sniffing this beautiful hibiscus...
& I want to dedicate this Randay to everyone experiencing the stress of Hurricane Gustav...Here is a pic overlooking Riverfront Park from the hotel my peoples stayed at in New Orleans in June...
Beautiful St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square...
Mmm....Louisanna grub...jambalaya, dirty rice, hush puppies & a seafood po-boy sandwich...
Beautiful French Quarter...Decatur Street...

On this Randay...I am sending all my pawsitive vibes to the people of Louisanna, Mississippi & Texas who will need strength & support in the days & months ahead.

Love & Licks,
Randi

I've Been Bad...Very Bad...

Hey Everybody...I've been bad... My mom/secretary left me home alone for one hour yesterday while she had to go to a meeting...I suprised her when she came home - I took out my stitches in 2 of the incision sites! Great! No need to spend needless dollars at the vet...I can do it myself...thats the kind of independant gal I am...My mom didnt' think it was so funny, cuz on one area, I took them ALL out & it opened up the wound...it didn't feel good at all...so back to the vet...& they put STAPLES in my leg! Like 10 of them! I wanted to post a pic of my new bionic leg, but my mom said it was too gross & I might make somepuppy sick... So then back at home - with the BLUE inflatable life raft around my neck...not fun...& then I decided it would be even MORE fun to take the staples out! I ate 3 staples...metal does not taste good...& isn't this stupid blue thing supposed to stop me from being bad?
So off in the car I went...to the local pet store to get this very attractive green cone...It was funny for the first 3 minutes...& then I realized my mom wasn't taking it off...HEY!
I know this is a great color on me...but I don't want to wear it anymore...please?
This sucks...
Here is a little gift for Peanut's mom...A very handsome pic of Mr. Vincent D'Onofrio - he's on some tv show that my mom tapes. But he's also my mom's personal trainer...cuz she'll tape the show he's on & work out forever with him on the tv... & he is to blame for me ripping out my stitches...Had my dear mother been paying attention to me, instead of having a session with her personal trainer, I wouldn't be wearing a cone on my head...

Peanut also gave me the idea to do the NEEDS GAME...All you do is type in your name in google with 'needs' behind it - Here is what I need:

Randi NEEDS your help... (yes...please help me get the cone off of my head...)
Randi NEEDS at strike... (?)
Randi NEEDS to be admonished & taken off the air for awhile like Don Imus... (I guess I do have a potty mouth at times...)
Randi NEEDS to play along... (well, that's just no fun...)
Randi NEEDS our prayers... (yes, pray that I get this cone off of my head...)

I'm gonna try & make my mom/secretary visit all my friends in the next few days...she can at least do that much for me...

Love & Licks,
Randi

ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everybody! Thanks again for all the good healing vibes since my cyst surgery last Tuesday...I'm feeling better & my owies are on the mend...only a bit of oozing & blood from my stitches & incision sites...but much better than even a few days ago! Meet my new friend, Ms. Pink Heart Care Bear...
My mom & dad gave her to me to help me mend quickly...My mom said it was the heart of all you DWB-ers that helped me heal so fast! Thanks a whole bunch!
Look at my clean teethies! Wally said I have better teeth than Amy Winehouse now...not that they were at all as bad as hers before...but you know...when you sport raven beehive locks such as myself & are strung out on drugs...sometimes the similiarites are very hard to overlook...but not anymore!
& my mom said I've become a DIVA! Just like Sophie La Bador...I've come to the conclusion that if you spit out your special pill poppers & drop them on the floor (like the ones in the silver bowl on the right), you'll get yummy treats with them the 2nd time around...like this yummy TURKEY! Wait? Lean Cuisine? Well, I guess I still have to keep my girlish figure you know...
Here's me doing what I do best on a sunny Randay...

After a much needed nap, I decided to help my mom/gardener do some flower planting...
Well, not really...I just look good against the flowers...Don't want to get my owies dirty anyway...
Here's a flower for Pippa's Mistress...He doesn't like flowers on his bloggy...but I'll do it so he doesn't have to put up with such nonsense...
Unless of course he'd like this one cuz I'm coyly sticking out my cutie pinky tongue in the pic!
Managing the landscaping is hard work...

On this Randay, I'm thankful for all my DWB friends that have kept me in their thoughts over the past week...your healing vibes have paved my road to recovery!

Love & Licks,
Randi

Pawsmetic Surgery...Under the Knife...

Hi Everybody...Thanks for all your 'well wishes' & pawsitive vibes - they are definately helping! Here I am above when my mom/secretary explained to me I needed to go under the laughing gas & get some unwanted cysts removed...not a happy Randi-camper at all!
Here is one of the nasty cysts on my right elbow that decided to explode over the weekend...stupid cyst...
Pre-op preparations...another stupid bath...cuz I can't have another bath till my stitches come out...at least that's a good thing...
More pre-op preperations...A BURGER! One good thing about surgery, your peoples lavish you with love, tummy rubs & burger king!
Nom...nom...nom....yummy....

On the way to the vet yesterday morning...I'm trying real hard to be brave...
& since I was going under the funny laughing gas, my peoples decided it would be nice to get my teethies cleaned & whitened too...here they are before...not bad at all..some of the best teethies of any 7 1/2 year old gal they've seen at the vet!
Oh...all of you who don't know what they lube is for...here is clue...
Back at home...drugged up...& my eyes rolled back into my head...not pretty...
Here I am recovering in the sunny backyard...I was very wobbly when I tried to walk through the house...my mom kept calling me a big drunkard...

Another reason to just say no to drugs! (are you listening Amy Winehouse??? - my mom says I resemble her in this pic)
Finally able to stand....but not for long...
Closeups of my ouchies...I have another behind my right ear...This morning my mom/secretary discovered I managed to scratch out one of my stitches on my head...Its ok now, scabbed & healing...but it was itchy! What was I supposed to do...?

The vet said no walkies for 3-4 days & absolutely no rough-housing with Win-com-poop for at least 2 weeks! YEAH!!!!

Love & Licks,

Randi

***Randi's mom/secretary here...the vet said Randi was a perfect little angel yesterday & the surgery went well...the cysts/growths were not deep & they were removed fairly easy...we are waiting to hear back on the biospy results...but the vet thinks they are all benign... - Thanks again for all your good thoughts...we really appreciate it...***

ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everybody~! Ok - first off - blame the hired help for no posts this past week...I was shipped to Wincompoops house for a couple of nights & then my pops was feeling yucky & now I'm back at the vet! Its RANDAY TODAY & I was at the vet! No fun! Suprisingly, it was not due to another doping test for the Paw-Lympic committee...But I had a growth/cyst on my right elbow that exploded a couple of times these past few days...& now I have to have them removed on Tuesday...4 cysts in all...keep your paws crossed that they all come back normal...
& lookie what I had to endure AGAIN at the vet...lube! & for all of you who have to ask what the lube is for, please go to the vet & find out for yourselves... so very wrong wrong wrong... Wincompoop came along cuz he needed a shot - too bad they didn't do the lobotomy on him like I requested...no one ever listens to me...

On this Randay, I'm thankful for my mom/secretary how has been giving fabulous tummy rubs & taking naps with me & pretty much feeling sorry for me since I have to go under the knife on Tuesday...That's why she hasn't visited any of your bloggies...

Love & Licks,
Randi

ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everybody! I'm still barking up a storm with my previously exposed Paw-Lympic doping scandal - I've admitted what I've known...those pills I've been popping have been pawscribed by my vet...& yet...I cannot compete... & I'm singing the blues...
& taking out my frustration on my new green toy...Mr. Allie Gator...

On this Randay, I'm thankful for the support of my peoples & my DWB pals who have stood by me in this unfortunate Paw-Lympic event...

Love & Licks,
Randi

Randi DISQUALIFIED from 2008 DWB Paw-Limpic Games

I'm innocent! Whoops! Who found my drugs? I guess I broke Lenny's rule #1 of pawticipating in the 2008 DWB Paw-Limpic Games...I thought no one would realize...I asked my mom/secretary which events I was pawticipating in & she broke the news...I'm a DOPER! I'm DISQUALIFIED! I admit, I've been on pill poppers for the last 3 weeks...
This would have been my entry for 'Synchronized Napping' with my cousin Win-com-poop...& I just want to clear the air - this photo was a complete set up!
This would have been my entry for 'Making A Mess'
& this would have been a new event - 'Competitive Eating while Practicing Doga'...
Geez...I guess I'll be sitting on the sidelines...I'd just like to apologize to everyone who I've let down...It wasn't my intention of letting down the DWB Team USA... I hope you can all win gold...

Love & Licks,
Randi

ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everybody! Whoops! Look what happened last Tuesday at our house...it happened after the earthquake...IT SNOWED! That crazy Mother Nature! What will she think of next...?
Ummm...Who's gonna clean this up? I'm living in absolute filth & squalor... plus, I have no room to play...where is that little Wincompoop when you need him?
I'm gonna get a new toy tonight as part of my 1st Year Blogaversary / Randay Extravaganza going on...& lots of belly rubs & rump rubs were enjoyed today too...More on that later!

On this Randay, I'm thankful for all of my bloggy doggy friends that I've met over the last year...have your peoples give you celebratory rump rubs from me!

Love & Licks,
Randi

My 1st Year Blog-a-versary

Hey Everybody! Its my First Year Blog-a-versary! It was one year ago today that I posted my first entry into the world of the doggie bloggy!~ Its been an eventful day so far...Here's what happened...
I lost a whisker! Lookie above! A funny, curly whisker! It must be a sign! & luckily my mom/secretary saved it & put it with the rest of my lost whiskers...Did you know that when we had to evacuate last October during the nasty wild fires, my lost whisker collection came along with me! They are priceless!
Then the fun ended....a stupid bath...with a stupid Wincompoop...Oh, before I forget, Wincompoop peed on this leash this morning on the walkie...Gross! What a little ninnie!
Then my mom/secretary presented me with a Blog-a-versary gift...What the...??!! We already have one of these stupid carpet suckers! This isn't a gift! Its a horrible prank! An upgraded DC17 Dyson Animal Sucker! What's wrong with the DC14 we already have? Geez....this is not right...
I'm so bummed right now...that picture says it all... My mom says we are gonna celebrate more this weekend & have an entire Randay Weekend Extravaganza...It better be off the hook, thats all I can say... Oh yeah...you all are invited on over for cake & punch & a game of pin the tail on Wincompoop...

I also want to take a moment to remember the horrible 35W Minneapolis Bridge collapse that also happened one year ago today...Our hearts & prayers are with all those in my mom/secretary's hometown...

Love & Licks,
Randi
