Easter is coming!!

Hello Family & Friends,

I am all ready, can you tell:

Me as the Easter Bunny

Easter is going to be here very soon. It wuz also a Good Friday today. We have lots going on this weekend!

It kicked off with Easter Yappy Hour at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay. That was a very fun event! It is a fundraiser for the Peninsula SPCA. There was an Easter Egg hunt contest. Though I didn't find the "Golden Egg," I still had lotsa fun. The 'eggs' were Easter Egg cookies and I et 3 of them! My person got mad at me when I et the 3rd one and then I just couldn't help myself... I et the wrapper too!!! it wuz just too YUMMY!

Well, I did et so many treeats that when I went home, I tried to et dinner, but then I barfed everything up. Yikes! Well, I think it wuz worth it tho cuz everything I et wuz delishus!

I wuz dressed as a cottontail bunny, and I had ears and a cottontail. Here are some pictures:

On a mission here... I smell a bunny....

These were the Easter Egg cookies for the dawgs-- aren't they fabulous?

Eating the YUMMY cookie! So good and tasty I had to close my eyes!

Being a busy little bunny again...

My friend Mr. Bo came with my Auntie Melinda. And there is Bizmark the dachshund in the back.

Look at this wonderful spread!

 

 

 

 

Isn't the Fire Hydrant the perfect centerpiece for such a party?

So friends, do you have any plans for this weekend? I am going to the Bunnies & Bonnets Parade tomorrow and will have to tell you more about that. Then it's off to Easter Brunch on Sunday with some of my doggie pals. I am a busy boy!

Hope you have a good Easter weekend!!!

St. Paddy's Day

Hello Everyone,

Did you wear green on Sunday? It was St. Paddy's Day! That is always a fun day to celebrate. I wore green too, see? 

My silly green hat-- it has feathers on it!

My silly green antennae with my airplane ears.

My bow tie.

Me mugging for a shot...

Another view: a distinguished basset with funny things sticking out of my head.

Today I went to Feel Trials so we are very tired from that! I will write a post on that soon. And then we went to a St. Paddy's Day tea, hosted by my pal Tara and her Irish person Gail. I got to see all my pals and sniffs out Tara's backyard, which had lots of great sniffs in it. Thank you Tara for inviting us! Tara just turned 13 1/2 years old and she is still going strong : )  

This is Tara.

All in all, it was a good day full of adventure! Hope you had a good St. Paddy's Day too. 

Cheers,

Worm

San Francisco and the Pocket Opera

This past weekend, we drove into "the City," which around here means San Francisco. We are ~35-45 minutes away but we don't really go that often, so it was a treat.

We went to hear my Auntie "Em" ("Em" is for Marcelle) perform in "Don Giovanni," an opera by Mozart. Boy was she terrific in it!! Kudos and brava, Auntie Em!!! I almost jumped out the window when I saw her lol : )

She was singing one of the hardest parts, Donna Anna, and she was pitch perfect. In fact, this was our first time attending the Pocket Opera in San Francisco. We have heard about it for years and years, though had never seen it until now. Boy we wish we had before... it was really good. They have some fantastic singers. They also sing it in English so it makes it easier to understand. http://pocketopera.org/

Well the performance was in one of the most beautiful parts of the city. If you come to visit San Francisco, you must come to the Palace of the Legion of Honor. It's got amazing views of San Francisco, the water, and the bridge.

Great view, huh?

SuperFoodBowl Partee Pics

Hiya Pals,

Oh geez, I've been away again too long. Well, I wanted to post pics from my last post a month ago. I went next door to my Uncle Ted's and Aunt Judy's to watch the SuperFoodBowl. We were cheerin' loudly for the 49er's!! It wuz fun. But it wuz not enuf-- those Baltimore Ravens played bettah than we did, so they became the Superbowl Champs. It's ok though, we are still proud of our 49er's and how they played this season.

The fun thing about SuperFoodBowls are the partees, and this year wuz no exception. Megots to watch the game with my 2 pals, Roxy and Lang, and their peeples. They are friends from the dawg park.

SuperFoodBowl cake-- yummers!

Roxy and I watching the TV-- do you see my nosey?

Here we are all watching TV together with my Aunt Hiroko.
That's my nosey nose again!

My pal Roxy, a lovely red golden retriever. She is Lang's gal.

My buddy Lang, a handsome golden retriever. He is ill, so please send prayers for him and his family...

Here I am!

Me decked out in my garb-- do you like my scarf?
My Uncle B and Auntie Z made it for me for Christmas, isn't that nice of them?

View of my 49er's T-shirt. Go 49er's!!

Well, that's it for now pals. I do hope to be blogging more, there is so much to tell you about!

I hope everyone is having a good week.
                                                             Cheers,
                                                                       Worm
     

SuperFoodBowl!!!

Hello Everyone,

The BIG DAY is here and boy am I excited!! I even woke up early today which did not a happy person make.

I been wearing around my tee shirt for 2 weeks straight now. It's smelly and dirty, but that's how melikes it!

Can't believe that our team the 49er's are INside the SuperFoodBowl this year! It will be messy in there with all the food inside the big bowl. And they have to scramble against the Baltimore Ravens to retrieve the football from all the food inside. And whoever comes out wins.

I guess one of the big stories is about the 2 bro's: Jim and John Harbaugh the coaches, which is pretty kewl if you ask me. I guess they will be standing on the edge of the bowl looking down into it and telling their teams where the football is and how to get it.

We are going to our neighbor's house today. We are bringing some Wingstop chicken wings. My Uncle Ted is making ribs. My Aunt Judy will be making guacamole and dip. My Aunt Hiroko will be making dessert and salad, from what I understand. And I'll be watching SuperFoodBowl with my doggie pals Lang, a golden retriever, and Roxy, a red golden retriever.

Woohooo!! Can't wait, esp to see all those commercials...!! Sending extra drool to my San Francisco 49er's team today!

Happy Christmas!!

Hello Family & Friends,

I'm wishing everyone a Happy Christmas or Happy Howlidays or whatever ya celebrates!!

Mrs. Houndmomma from Chicago made this Christmas greeting for me-- it is kewl! Thanks!!

Me (left) & my pal Mr. Bo Jangles (right) sitting for a pic earlier this season w/Santa Paws... except his head is cut off here, yikes!

There he is!! He wuz a nice Santa Paws and it wuz nice to see him in California before he made his way to the North Pole. 

So, how has everyone's holiday season been going? I wish you an abundance of good times with family and close friends this year. And I am thinking of those who are going thru difficult times, as I realize the holidays are not always happy for everyone.

I like the holidays because although it is very bizzy and hectic leading up to Christmas (hence no blog posts in awhile!), the actual days of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are nice days to lay around chill-axin'.

Here I am chill-axin' in my Christmas pj's on Christmas Day... or as my British pals say, I'm in my "Christmas jumper." I learned that recently!

This year, I made the annual trip to my Grand-Paws and Grand-Maws. It has been a nice trip so far. First a looooong car ride, and then we arrives. And I gets to see my Uncle B and Auntie Z down there too! Meloves them and gets so excited and waggy-tailed to see everyone.

We took a Christmas Eve stroll thru Old Town Pasadena... all the dawgs I met were wearing clothes like me, must be an LA thing. Even a pit bull I met wuz wearing one lol!

I ran into a fuzzy reindeer, chill-axin' on a bench!

...and an extra LARGE person that I barked at!

This wuz a kewl find: Three Dog Bakery, which makes a lot of kewl baked goods for dawgs like me. They gave me a free pupcake!! We like their "everything natural" philosophy!

I've GOT to try these, dontcha thinks? My person said not today Worm, but that we will be back soon to try one.

 We LOVES the Ritz!! We will blog about that in a separate post soon. But will say briefly that we went to their Christmas dawg partee. Everyone is so nice there! They luvs us dawgs. They gives us treeeats and pictures with Santa and everything. And best of all, the proceeds benefit the Peninsula Humane Society! Here are some pics from that:

It sure is beautiful at nights, isn't it?

All the clever & creative arrangements of dawg treeeats.... for dawgs like me!! yummers!

I usually loves to drink this... but it wuz too cold so I wasn't thirsty.

In my Christmas outfit.

In front of their Christmas tree.

OK wow that wuz a long post!! I had so much to share.

Well mehopes ya has a wonderful howliday... Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

HAPPY TURKEY OR TOFURKEY DAY!!!

Hope everyone had a good day. Here are some pictures of me at the harvest, lol.

Standing on a haystack at the pumpkin patch...

It is fun being around so many pumpkins!!

Some pumpkins are as big as I am. This one's even taller than me!

Well, we bought 3 pumpkins that day. If you look more closely at the pictures, you will see that the pumpkins are neatly laid in sections. This last picture is the large pumpkin section. They also had a small pumpkin section, white pumpkins, green pumpkins, all different kinds!

We got a green pumpkin for Auntie M, cuz that's her favorite color! We got my Aunt Queenie a sugar pumpkin since she likes to make pumpkin pies. And we got a bright reddish-orange pumpkin for us, cuz it wuz kewl looking. It is still sitting on our porch today, and we got it before Halloweens.

Well a sad but amusing tale about my Aunt Queenie's pumpkin is that we went to drop it off at her house and they live on a big hill. When we went to open the car door, her pumpkin fell out cuz the car was packed (we were coming back from camping and had all our camping gear inside). It rolled all the way down the street, made a right turn, and continued rolling down the street. Poor pumpkin!! It really rolled a long way. So long that we didn't even feeling like walking that distance, we drove instead, lol! It was laid to rest on the side of the curb, but it had split into 3 pieces-- poor, poor pumpkin!!! We picked it up and gave it a nicer place to rest in peace, instead of on the side of the road all undignified like that.

Anyways... the moral of the story is.... watch out for rolling pumpkins!!
