My date for the Party

I asked the beautiful Hazel to go with me to the party and she said Yes. I got my Top hat and matching bow tie. I wanted a really nice ride for us so I got us horse-drawn carriage.
When I picked her up, I knew I had to watch my P's and Q's cuz big brother was right there to keep an eye out on me to make sure I treated his sister properly. Don't worry Bailey, I will be a prefect gentleman!!
After I picked her up, I had a few surprises for Hazel on the way. I took her by a few places with cool decorations. I figured that she would like that.
I even found a place where we could stroll through the lights, paw in paw. It was so neat.
Well, Hazel, we do need to get to the party. Oh I almost forgot to tell you that I sent Hazel a very SPECIAL present to go with her pretty red dress. Go ahead and see what that Special surprise was.
See ya all at Dorys party!!

I met Addi

 I went to her house and we looked at each other and then did the sniff sniff stuff.
Then we went for a walk. It went pretty good.
Gee....we look at the same things. Synchronized looking.
This big dog kept pouncing at me. Guess she wants to play but I just looked at her like WHAT is wrong with you dog!!
 
I can't figure out why he wont play. He looks like Jazzi and Jazzi always played.
We have been over to Addi's about 3  times and I have been in Addi's house and played in the backyard. The last time we brought Addi home with us. I did ok until......Addi got near my mom and she petted Addi, then all claws were out!! She is trying to give us both attention together and she hopes that we can get along.
Diana here: I don't bring Addi over unless we go and get her and they walk in the house together. I guess I will keep trying and let them bond slowly.

Christmas Stuff

Hey, just checking in to see how things are going. I see already that we are whipping our Peeps in the card count,,,,whoa!!!!!
My card count is 8-2 and it was so funny to see how excited they got when they got the one from the insurance man!!!! Bol
Im sure more cards will be coming. We just got my pics yesterday So ours will be going out this weekend.

Now....how's the gifts going? Has everyone made contact with their partners? I hope you're having fun shopping. Gifts should be in the mail by the 18th so it can get to them by Christmas. Addi and I have received ours already but we have to wait until Christmas. Addi and I just mailed ours out yesterday too so be on the lookout Ranger and Winston.

Oh and I know this is kinda late but if some doggie would like to be in the gift exchange, we have a dog that would like to join in and he's a super cool dog, just let me know.
Have a great Thursday .

My busy day.

We had a good Thanksgiving and the Turkey was good. I also had a busy day before Thanksgiving.  I went to the Dog-tor for a checkup. I sat right on the chair and I don't go crazy there.
She checked me over and all is good. I gots a clean bill of health. Yay!!
On the way home we stopped at the fabric store. I am very good in the store just checking things out. 
Mom called ahead and guess what she found......Cookie fabric!!!
And she couldn't turn this down. I think I will be wearing lots of scarfs.
She also found this turkey for me to wear yesterday. This is new to me but I'm getting used to it.
And...... mom wants me to ask...has everyone made contact with their partner for the Christmas exchange?  PLEASE..,tell us Yes that you have. If you haven't, please do it quickly. Ok?

My mom has been busy working at Michaels. They have a 50% off one item on Saturday. Friday was a 40% off entire purchase and it was pretty busy today.so if you need anything get out to Michaels.

We're thankful

This Thanksgiving as well as others in the past we have much to be Thankful for. God has truly blessed our family with sooo much and we are so Thankful for it all. Blogville has been a wonderful community too.
I love Snoopy so I have asked him to help me out with this post.
Blogville is Special when:
We are just here for each other by listening and in thoughts.
Knowing that Paws are crossed for our pets as well as us adults. I know a few years back when I got really sick in Texas and had those surgeries, even though I felt so sick it was so encouraging to know that so many paws were crossed for me. With loosing Jazzi, it meant the world to me receive so many cards, gifts and to know that Jazzi was so loved in Blogville. It really touched my heart.
We read those post that are just downright cute and or funny that it puts a SMILE on our faces and even makes us laugh. That brightens up any ole day!!
We get to meet some friends in the furs. I haven't met many but would LOVE to. I know when Jazzi met Pip, trust me he was.....ADORABLE!! We had such a great time and they shared a taco!! I know that some of you have met in the furs and have had a great time.
Besides the Blogs, it is fun to write other blog moms and really get to know them via e-mail, phone. Hey some friends text while babysitting!! lol That's what friendship is all about!!
What I think is most Special about Blogville is that we are all so different personalities, have different viewpoints, live in different countries but we can all come together as one heart and really care about one another as well as our pets.
We each have our own story to tell and I think we all do a great job of telling our stories and sharing our hearts with one another!!
So....from Oreo and our family, we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!
P.S. Thanks Snoopy, another job Well-done buddy!!!

Changes are hard

Changes are really HARD!! That's what I'm finding out. This separation stuff is for the birds!! My sleeping at night was fine before, I was sleeeping in their room, in the kennel, dark and quiet and not a peep outta me, but Mike thought that I should have my own room well.....not so good last night. When Mom came screaming at me for still barking at 3:00 am. I didn't make a peep after that. She scared the beezeebies outta me!! But she was soooo mad and wound up that after I got quiet she couldn't get to sleep, so needless to say I am back in my old spot which was working perfectly fine. I am back in their room and she doesn't care what Mr. Mike says cuz he wasn't up at 3:00 am!! Plus she likes having me closeby and so do I.

We are focusing on the barking when they leave, barking like a mad man outside, submission, and just basic manners. It all went good this morning. She made me stop my barking like crazy outside which she said is so easy, she didn't know why she didn't figure this out with Miss Bossy pants Jazzi. So I guess  you can teach an old dog new tricks. But it sure wears a guy put!!!

We have a winner

And a winner right on the dot. The winners are Reilly and Denny. There were exactly 68 cookies in the jar. We will get your Oreos in the mail, so you'll have time to get some milk too!!!
Thanks for playing along.

Diana here: Oreo is still barking when I leave.  At his old house he had a family with 2 girls and a doggie brother and they got split up. He has seperation anxiety probably more from his brother and having him to play with even when the family was gone. ( it took Jazzi about 3 mo to get over Addi moving and it took Addi about 3 mo to get over Jazzi's passing)

We had a dog therapist Mike come over today. Oreo is fixable. It's gonna be LOTS of work for us but it shouldn't take too terribly long. Oreo has some things he does good and some not so good. An option is another dog and from my husband's look, that's not an option ha! And doggie daycare once or twice a week for an hour or so, just enough to socialize with other dogs, so I'm going to check into that too.

He also gave us training tips for Oreo. Mike makes it look so easy, I tried it and Oreo knows I'm a pushover .....he's looking like oh Im not doing that for you lady  Lol.
We will be leaving the TV on for noise and he has all new rules. Even just for today, he is already learning. Mike says dogs like it when they have rules and are treated like a dog and it will be so much better with guests come over.

Mike is coming back in 2 weeks so I have to do this right. So, training starts today.  Let's day.....I'll be glad when it's all over. Hopeful for a quieter house soon.

My first job

Gee....I didn't realize that I'd be working at my new house. My first job was to help dog sit this little pup. Her name is Klohe and she is 12 weeks old. She is part poodle/bischon.
She may be cute and all but don't let this 2 1/2 lb floof ball fool ya....She pounces
She nips at the feet and tail
She paws and growls at me....
But as soon as I growl at her, I get talked to about being nice to the girl!!!!!! What's with that???
I mean she was just bugging me so much, look she's just waiting for me to get off the treadmill......and dont think that she didn't try to get oh it.......that was my safe place.
But look who finally got put into timeout!
I learned some things you gotta do for some extra treats.
