ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everybody! I've been pouting today cuz look what Wincompoop did...He slimed me! Here's what happened...I'm minding my own business...playing with 4 stuffies in my mouth at once...(ok..playing keepaway from the little ninny) & suddenly he grabs hold of all the stuffies in my possession & starts humping them! My mom/secretary isn't sure...but this maybe a repeat of what happened in the movie with Cameran Diaz "Something About Mary"... Look at my ear above....
& look at Wincompoop's ear....GROSS...I'm really hoping its just mouth slobber & not any other kinda slime that comes from a boy pup entering his adolescence...That's all I'm gonna say about that...
& Lookie here....Nectarines! In my own doggie backyard! Lots of nectarines... My mom & dad picked lots of them...gave lots to the neighbors...

& left some on the tree....
& made nectarine cobbler...
Nectarine pie with cinnamon...
& today my mom/chef attemped to make nectarine/blueberry preserves...
& here they are...lots of jars too...too many to fit in the pics...I've been supervising on the kitchen floor...naping & supervising that is...waiting for a nectarine piece to drop...they are pretty yummy...

On this Randay, I'm thankful for trees that grow food in my own backyard...Now when am I gonna get to plant a bacon tree?

Love & Licks,
Randi

Wallymelon for Beginners...

Ok...so all of you know that my cousin, Winston, aka Wincompoop, is staying with me for three whole weeks...Once I found out, I was in mourning...& it went a little sum-thin like this...

Denial (this isn't happening to me!)
Anger (why is this happening to me?)
Bargaining (I promise I'll be a doggie if Wincompoop doesn't stay...)
Depression (I don't care anymore...)
Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever Wincompoop throws my way...)

So since I'm now in acceptance of this 3 week torture, I've decided to teach the little ninny a thing or two... & since July is National Wallymelon Month...its only right to celebrate with a wallymelon initiation...I started with a small Wallymelon...

He didn't know what to do...tired to kick it...what a ninny...
I said, "NO! you gotta smell its wonderous aroma..." He was completely bewildered...as the photo is pure proof...look at his face!
Ah! Behold the center of the Wallymelon...also known as the center of the universe...
With delicate manners, take nibbles of the Wallymelon pieces...
(oops...sorry...crane your head to the right...) His first nibble...

Ha! Bet he can't do this!
Or this...this is the d(y)oga pose called Yummy Yummy for My Tummy...note the extreme balance & coordination of my front flippers & my back right flipper...Pure Doga Guru!
Ommmm...Ommmmm...Ommmmm...
DIG IN!

A wise Doga Yogi once told me...Waste not...
Want not...so make sure you clean the floors of little Wallymelons
Little Wincompoop was getting the hang of it...but I never eat the green...its a bit too bitter for my taste...But I let him find that out on his own...
The same wise Doga Yogi also told me to share....even though its not all that fun...
& here is my pièce de résistance - a little foodie porn for my dear Wally ...The GURU OF WALLYMELON!

Love & Licks,

ITS RANDAY!

HAPPY RANDAY EVERYBODY! Guess what? My cousin Winston, aka Wincompoop, is staying with me for 3 weeks & no, I'm not the least bit happy about it...which means I have to share my toys, my ma & pa & sometimes my snackables...but at least I was able to share the torture of another bath with him...
Only hours ago, my mom/secretary scrubbed little Wincompoop & hosed him down like a drenched duck...it was pretty funny to watch...& then I realized she was gonna do the same to me! I've been really flaky & my skin has been super itchy...I told my mom that I was alergic to Winson, but she didn't believe me...
No more baths...please...I know I'm a newfie/lab cross & pretty much would live in water 24/7...but staying clean is just not part of the deal...Do you think my sad puppy eyes were convincing? NO! Meanie Mother...
But I did get a new toy outta the deal...Mr. Turtle...he's a bit slow, so I have no trouble catching him & giving him a bit of a stuffie shakedown...

As for Wincompoop...I guess he's not too bad...its been kind of, sort of fun having someone to boss around all the time & someone to steal my toys back from ... His peoples are on vacation & I'm gonna need a vacation when they get back.

On this Randay, I'm thankful for my extra 40 pounds of weight that give me great leverage & helps me win most fights/stuffie tug-of-wars with little Wincompoop.

Love & Licks,
Randi

ps...my mom needs some help on how to do bloglines & how it shows what bloggie has been updated...she's fallen so far behind in keeping up with you all that she feels horrible...& she should be...so any advice would be greatly appreciated...

Weekend with M&M's Mamma & Pappa

So hanging out with Morgan & Matilda's mamma & pappa this weekend was a blast! I kept telling my mom/secretary that I didn't need a bath, cuz I wanted to cover M&M's ma & pa with my signature smelly doggie scent as a souviner for them...but that didn't go over to well... Here I am on my way to the doggie spa...

So stupid...I was scrubbed & rubbed within an inch of my life...

Then came the worst part...my mom/beautician has to put a towel over my head so I don't thrash all around & act like a raging bull...
AHHH! The nasty blower monster...I HATE that thing...Here I'm giving it the EVIL EYE...but it didn't work...stupid blower...
Ok, after all that dumb bath stuff came the fun part...like snuggling with M&M's mamma with the naked human pup in her tummy! She is an expert snuggler & will make a fantastic human pup mamma...do you see stupid Win-Com-Poop's nose on the left...always trying to rain on my parade...
M&M's mamma is also an expert stuffie de-stuffer assistant...here she is helping get a nice big hole in the stuffie formerly known as Bumble Bear...
Thanks so much M&M's mamma & pappa for such a fantastic weekend...& Thank you to M&M for letting your peoples come & visit me...

Love & Licks,
Randi

ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everybody! I had such a fantastic time with M&M (Morgan & Matilda)'s peoples (check out my last post) & I'm so sad they left...My secretary will upload my pics & I'll tell you all about it tomorrow!

On this Randay, I'm thankful for wonderful human friends who love to share their breakfast bacon with me.

Love & Licks,
Randi

HAPPY 4th of JULY!

Happy 4th of July Everybody! This is what I've been doing today...waiting for the grill to be fired up so I can eat chickenables, steakables, & any other -ables that are within snatching distance of my choppers...

Remember these two sassy blondes? Matilda is on the left & Morgan is on the right...They live in Minneapolis & their peoples are flying to meet me tonight & staying the weekend! Too bad M&M had to stay behind...we'd get into lots of mischief otherwise like stuffies spontaniously exploding all over the place...
Look at this basketful of puppies! One on them is Matilda when she was a wee baby...what could be more patriotic on the 4th of July than apple pie, bbq & a basketful of yellow labs?
M&M's human mama is gonna have a human pup in a couple months...even though it will be naked when it arrives, I'm sure M&M will give him lots of fur to cover up with & he just may end up looking like this....
Or this...cute little paw paws!
Oh, so very sweet! Happy 4th of July everybody!

Love & Licks,

Randi

ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everybody! As the wee newfie Little Miss Chums pointed out in the comments from my last post, I am the great Randini & did indeed make a daring escape from the chains that I was trapped in... So thank you all very much for for your concern...Since its been kinda car-ra-zee around here ... my mom/secretary is digging into my photo vault & posting a photo montage of the silly faces I made from my last bath...The one above could almost be mistaken for the great art piece The Scream. I would like to call this...Elephant Trunk...almost.
The Silly Smile...
Baby Chimpanzee...

On this Randay, I'm thankful for the Wendy's hamburger that my peoples gave to me this afternoon as a very special treat for having to stay overnight at Wincompoop's doghouse last night...

Love & Licks,
Randi
