HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Here are some pics from a photo shoot I starred in...You can kinda see an upside down heart in the red heart wire stuff that's wrapped around me...
Are you ready for your Valentines Day smooch from me?
First a nice, wet lick...
Then a kissy...(a special kissy goes out to 2 boys...you know who you are!)
My mouth is fixed in a permanent open position...ready for any treats that come my way today!

Happy Valentines Day!

Love & Licks,
Randi

Human Error

This is me...looking sad & defeated...as you know, I went to the vet yesterday I thought I had gained back a pound...even though I'm eating more, which was the docs orders...then my mom/secretary/food cop said I'd have to eat less...something smelled very fishy, so I decided to investigate...
If you look back on my bloggy from January 14 - its says I weighed 87.5 pounds at the vet...HUMAN ERROR! Yesterday I was 87.3 pounds! I didn't gain a pound! I LOST .2 POUNDS! Of course the scale was jumping back & forth a bit to 88 pounds...but that's my story & I'm sticking to it...My mom/secretary thought I weighed 86 pounds at the last weigh-in...YOU ARE SO WRONG! The conspiracy has been thwarded... My profile shot proves that I'm as skinny as ever.... So all I have to say (in a Homer Simpson voice) is...
"FOOD GOES IN HERE!"

Love & Licks,
Randi

More Junk in My Trunk...

This morning I had my chauffeur (aka mom/secretary) drive me to the vet...I've been eating a bit more for almost a month now & wanted to see what number was on the scale...This is my sly/bashful/innocent look above...
87.3 pounds! So I've gained about a pound...I think that's OK....hopefully I can still eat more... but I have a feeling the kitchen help (my mom) will cut back a teeny-tiny bit...I must figure out how to get the topper off of the food container & dine buffet style... I deserve a buffet every now & then for losing over 30 pounds!
I'm waiting for some treats after my weigh in...my brother Dublin is carefully watching over the treat jar with another very nice doggy that went to Rainbow Bridge...he was a kidney patient too.
Meet Anee (prounced like Annie)...She's a very pretty doggie that lives with her mom who is one of the nutritional people at UC Davis...Anee was being a guinea piggy today for the doggie cardiologist...they are looking at Anee's heart on the moniter...How cool is that! Anee is going to start training to be a search & rescue doggie...I know she's going to do great...
Here I am on my way home & enjoying the refreshing air & sunny day...I'm napping in the sun right now...I hope everyone else is keeping warm in the burrr cold weather that's everywhere but here..

Love & Licks,
Randi

HUG YOUR DOGS....

ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everyone! Its a sunny sunny Randay here...a lot better than last weeks rainy Randay...Let me introduce to you my new friend...Ollie the Owl...he watches over the yard & keep birdies from nesting in our patio...he's pretty cool...very mellow, but stern...I'm copying his lethal birdie stare in the pic above...
He doesn't talk much..but that's OK...He's very dedicated to his work as a birdie cop... I'm not much of a birdie chaser...My brother Dublin took care of that kind of stuff...I just watch the birdies...
Here is a flowering bush on the side of my big dog house (ok..the house my peoples & I share together...) Its a pretty pink flower...Pink is my favorite color...
Here I am modeling my new pink flower hat...But I think it might look better on Daisy the Curly Cat's head...its more her size...Guess what? Today is Daisy's 4th Birthday! Go wish her a happy day!
I'm dreaming that I'm smelling flowers that both Pippa & Wally sent me...
Ok...enough of the flower crap...LETS PLAY BALL!
Thought I'd stick this pic in here of my lunch today....notice the yummy soupy slop I'm licking up.
On this Randay, I'm thankful for the sunny sun that in the sky that warms by black fur when I'm lounging outside...
Love & Licks,
Randi

Stuffie Torture & Breakfast

Hey everybody...in my last post I mentioned that Mr. Facially Deformed Gorilla Stuffie was laying face down in a puddle from the rain...I was worried that I might get a call from The Hague in the Netherlands & be accused of torture & suffer the rath...but alas...he is just a bit frosty...its been chilly here at night & he only froze his butt off...nothing else...see....
Turn him over & he is happy & smiling & almost new...except for the missing eye, chewed lip & overall lack of awareness.... Now on to my diet... As most of you know, I've been kicking Kirstie Ally's butt in the diet department & at my last weigh in was a slim 86 pounds or so... They nutritional big wigs at UC Davis said I could increase my consumption of dry food...so I'm going to tell you about my daily diet routine... You can see I get 13 baby carrots chopped up fine...
& then 1 heaping cup of Royal Canin Calorie Control High Protein dry food...Here my mom/secretary/chef is letting me sample them to ensure high quality & freshness...
Then 1/4 can of the wet food is mixed in with some water to make a most pleasing bowl of slop...I am supposed to sit & then speak...
Here I am speaking..."WOOF!"
Then I get to chow down...& lick the inside of the bowl clean...
& the outside of the bowl clean...
& the back of the bowl clean...(if you biggie the pic, you can see a piece of dried carrot suck to the wall...)I still haven't figured out how to get the top off the dry food container to dine buffet style...but I'll let you know when I do...
Love & Licks,
Randi

ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay! Its a rainy rainy Randay here in Southern California! So I've been keeping myself occupied with my (halfway eaten facially deformed) gorilla puppet... Here he is taunting me above...
He's ready to nibble my cute black button nose right off! ...I must gain the upperhand in this situation...its getting dangerous!
Have no fear...nothing that a little SSS (aka shaken stuffie syndrome) won't cure...
This picture doesn't lie...rain rain rain! You can't even see the mountains in the background...
I brought Mr. Gorilla outdoors to each him about rain...he's actually still laying face down in a puddle at the moment...I wonder if that's considered torture?
LET ME IN! ITS RAINING!
I decided to invite Winston over to watch the kick off of Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl...
When he was looking up at the pups drinking outta the water dish, I made a move to steal the head of the snake I was already playing with...don't want him thinking I'm gonna share or anything... I guess the SuperBowl is on now too..but these puppies are playing much better football than the other teams...
On this Randay, I am thankful for the rain...& the towels that wipe me off when I'm all wet from the rain...
Love & Licks,
Randi
