Forever Happy

Hey furry friends, I'M BACK!!
Did you miss my furry funny posts?? I sure missed all of you guys, BUT I had a awesome time at Sparkie's house!

And I'm told he had a great time at mine...

I'm hoping that my raiser will have more time to let me catch up with you guys, and also let me do some more posts here and there.

I've got so much furry fun things to talk about, but I'm saving the best for another post!
For now I'm going to let you in on a little secret...

Remember CSN stores?? My raiser has done 2 reviews for them, on her second review they moved her up to "preferred blogger" which means... my raiser may be doing reviews almost every month!
My raiser has decided to not spoil me this time around... and decided to buy a birthday gift for her mom.
She's been pondering between some awesome home decor, some cool table lamps, or maybe a nice shelf or two.

If you haven't already, make sure to check out CSN stores, if you do... make sure to look at their soft and cuddle dog beds!
Enjoy the 1 photo below (taken while I was at Sparkie's house), and many fun updates coming later!

Sparkie Comes... Sparkie Goes

I'm back from 4-H congress! Sparkie was WONDEFUL, and did great. With only 537 people there... he only got stepped on a couple times, and didn't mind one bit!
Sparkie got many complements on how well he behaved, and they were sure right!
For any dog this 4-H event could have been very stressful, Sparkie was never stressed out - and just enjoyed the entire thing!

When it came to the farewell dance, he did the 2 step with me, but then decided to bail on me and try "break dancing"... doggy style. Yes he was doing the tight twists/turns, and was totally feeling the music!

The following day before we left, people were coming up to me saying how well he break dances - and he was the best one on the floor!
Good to know that Sparkie has a second career...

I was happy to enjoy Sparkie this week, and this morning we traded back. Rudy was very happy to see me, and I'm told he did great.

Updates later on Rudy, for now enjoy some picture below!

Cow Day At Chick-fil-A

You read the title correct - my raiser MADE me "dress" up like a cow (by adding cute white paper spots onto me) - just to get more looks when she went to some "cow appreciation day" thing at Chick-fil-A.
But everybody loved me!
By the time my furry friends read this post... and look at the pictures - I'll be enjoying myself over at Sparkie's house, and Sparkie will be with my Raiser at some 4-H thing.
Hope you have a great week, as I know I will!

My Last Days with Sparkie

My Raiser uploaded the last couple pictures she has of Sparkie and I together, we sure had lots of fun! Enjoy the pictures below :)

Farm Camp was earlier today - I enjoy it when my Raiser takes me out to play, 15 more people to play with!
I hope to get some pictures of me getting loved on by the kids tomorrow.
Thanks so much to all who keep commenting on my posts - I haven't had a chance to comment/visit ANY of my furry followers, and I miss you SOOOO much!

Since I don't have any time to visit you, I'm sending furry kisses your way!!
2 more days of Farm Camp, I'm off to get a good nights rest!

Will You Miss Me??

I may not be on blogger much this week... As my Raiser has "Farm Camp" each day this week. (15 kids ranging from 9-14 come to our farm each day...)
So... I won't have much time for blogging :(
I WILL try to convince my Raiser to let me do a couple posts this week - but who knows if she'll even have time to login on the computer!
But I will try everything I can, just know I'm not leaving you forever!

Sparkie left me yesterday, we had soo much fun together and he then had to up and leave :(

Oh well, he said it was time for him to go back home - I think he really just didn't want to hang around me anymore.

On a brighter note, my Raiser did get many pictures of us (!!) AND we have a puppy meeting coming up this Saturday, so I'll get to see Sparkie again!
Since my Raiser is already really tight on time, pictures are coming in a later post (sorry!). But fur now...
I LOVE YOU GUYS!! And really hope you miss me!

(Please note that I DO still plan on doing the giveaway - but due to my raiser having no time, it will be waiting a week or 2 - sorry!)

An Elephant is HUGE & Snakes are SCARY!

Yesterday morning was when Sparkie showed up.
Yesterday night was when...
We met an Elephant, saw a boxing Kangaroo, a huge snake - and watched a performance.
What was it?

A mini circus!
My raiser happens to be friends with another teenage girl her age - who just so "happens" to be part of a traveling circus!!
They only see each other once or twice a year - but always keep in contact!
My raiser's friend's family owns a huge Elephant - so all of my raiser's dogs get to "meet" an Elephant!
Yesterday, Sparkie and I both got to "meet" her - (My raiser kept us at a safe distance).
Though you couldn't get picture during the performance (and my raiser had 2 dogs most of the time!) she did manage to snap a couple pictures of us - so make sure to see them below!

During the performance, while they were doing a clown act we heard a noise. The noise was apart of the act, but man was it loud! (My raiser said it was even louder than a cannon!) Sparkie slept right through it and I woke up - but then went right back to sleep.
My raiser said we did so very well!

I hope you enjoy the pictures and the giveaway post will be coming (hopefully) this week!

Sparkie Who?

Sparkie is a 9 month old male black lab... who's staying with us for the WHOLE week!
He's another guide dog pup from our group. (His raiser had to go out of town last minute - my raiser offered to sit him).
So you will be seeing many pictures over the next couple days, with not one but TWO black dogs in them :)

The giveaway post will be coming soon... if I can get my raiser to help me, but she's awfully busy right now!

**Also... I'd love for you to meet: Al - he's my brother and also has a blog. He'd love some more followers and friends.
So please make sure to drop over and say hi!**

I have a very exciting post coming tomorrow... it involves a Elephant, Kangaroos, some loud nosies and much more!
I'll try to visit you guys in the next couple days, I may not get to all of my furry friends though - as my raiser is allowing very little blogging time :(
Hope you enjoyed the post- don't forget to visit my furry cute brother!
