Bits&Pieces

Adieu mon petit chien, adieu

Don't say anything to Chippie. I mean, it's not like I used the same song.

SAVE THE EWOKS! BUY MY BOOK!

I mean, seriously. Get OUT, cuteness.

For those who are wondering, Peanut is a Pekinese, and a very sweet mellow one at that.

My Auntie Lynn and Uncle Murray have just hit the road, headed deeper into the American heartland, on their way to Mount Rushmore. We had such a nice visit. I never see relatives from my side of the family and this was such a treat to have them here.

Especially for rounds of high-stakes yahtzee.

And I think anyone who knows anything knows this: Canadians don't mess around when it comes to dice games.

But it wasn't just us that had fun. Chester will miss his new little friend, too.

But we are definitely going to plan a trip to British Columbia in the next few years. We're even talking about going up for the 2010 Olympic Games. I mean, we've got prime lodging just waiting for us, with my Aunt and Uncle in Pitt Meadows. I think it's not just talk.

So thanks, Auntie Lynn and Uncle Murray, for coming to visit.

We miss you already.

You know what they say…puppies and babies can sell just about anything

Well look who's decided to come for a two-week stay:

Hello to you, Chester. Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?

And what's this? Who else is visiting? Is that a tribble? No. It's just Peanut. My Auntie Lynn's sweet girl.

And she IS sweet. Not anything like my parents little 8-pound marauder, Murphy. (Sorry, Mom. You know I love you and Dad, but your dog could and possibly should be featured on the new season of It's Me or the Dog.)

Yikes!

But here are my new temporary canine tenants together, and blurry:

Now, here's my second book:

Do you have the sudden urge to buy?

Get it? You know. Puppies...sell things? Get it?

Of course, I am JOKING.

Except that I'm not.

Happy Monday, Dog Lovers of America (and Canada, the UK, NZ, AUS…oh what the heck—of the entire WORLD.)
