Little Poodle Sur

Dear world,
To get from Carmel to Santa Barbara we took this incredibly winding road. I watched intently as the curves hugged the ocean.  This beautiful area is called Big Sur from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south",  (south of the Monterey Penninsula). Then I realized since I am originally from the South I could be referred to as Little Poodle Sur.

Thanksgiving feast

Dear world,

As usual, our family goes nontraditional for the Thanksgiving feast. Mommy calls Joe in Miami to get dinner. He sends over a big box. No turkey legs, just stone crab claws. I like them cause they taste a bit like tuna!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving

Dear world,
Today is Thanksgiving. So Annie and I took time to think about our ancestors that may have celebrated the first Thanksgiving. We decided they were probably pilgrims. Annie’s was cute and pretty, mine was elegant and fab. They were probably great cooks preparing an amazing meal (those genes did not reach our generation. Annie and I have guest genes.) 

Happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate!

On the rocks

Dear world.
And yet another beautiful vacation day. This time in Pacific Grove. First, we went to a beach and saw a ton of rocks with birds all over them.  Then we strolled along the ocean path and saw more rocks, but when we looked closely, many of the rocks were covered with Harbor Seals! After awhile Annie decided to imitate the seals and take a nap around the rocks!

Monterey

Dear world,

Next on our itinerary was a visit to Monterey.  We walked (actually I was in my stroller) along the harbor.  We ate lunch at Fisherman’s Wharf while watching and listening to the barking seals. (Annie thought they were weird looking dogs). Then we took the beautiful famous 17 mile drive at sunset. What a nice long day. I love my vacation.

Carmel Canine Cuisine

Dear world,
Today we visited the town of Carmel. After shopping a bit, we decided to have lunch. So we chose a place that we all could enjoy - The Forge in the Forest. Mommy and Daddy selected off of their menu. After perusing the Canine Cuisine Menu, Annie and I decided to split The Quarter Hounder and The Diggity Dog. Our meal was just fab.  I just love Carmel !

Royal treatment

Dear world,
After a long day of driving, we finally got to our hotel. When we arrived in our room, we were welcomed with comfy dog beds and dog bowls by the warm fire. While Annie was impressed with the royal treatment, I reminded her that I am a princess, so they were ready for my arrival. Only disappointment was my bed isn't pink.

Packing our bag

Dear world,

We are going on a road trip vacation.  Mommy gave Annie and I the most beautiful bag to pack our stuff in, but I told Mommy it was too small. She told me we had too much stuff.  So I suggested to Annie she doesn't need to bring dirty tennis balls. Annie suggested to me I don't need to bring my tiaras. Seriously Annie?

Rosy vs. Bunnybell

Dear world, 

While my neice Bunnybell was here visiting for a week, it gave me a lot of opportunity to compare Bunnybell to Rosy, the other little black dog in my life… Bunnybell. doesn't boss me around like Rosy. She doesn't hog my Mommy's time like Rosy. And also unlike Rosy, Bunybell lets me have as much room as I want in bed. But,  Bunnybell loves food like me, so she doesn't leave me any of hers like Rosy does.  And, Bunnybell doesn't like to play ball with me like Rosy, and unlike Rosy she doesn't like to take walks with me . But they both love to come to the beach as much as I do. So I guess they are pretty even on pluses and minuses for me. While I love them both, I think  Rosy is the best cause she is my sister. (and she also would add that she wins because she is a princess.)

Shades of Grey

Dear world,
When Annie comes from the groomer, she is a very light cream, almost white. Then as the days go by, her fur proceeds to darken a bit to cream, and light tan. But this month, her fur went from shades of cream to shades of gray ! She probably thinks shades of grey is trendy, but I think it is dirty. Thank goodness we have our spa appointment this week!

Great Pyrenees

Dear world,
Last week we met a Great Pyrenees on the beach. He and I gave each other a low five and chatted a bit. He asked for my number, but I said I wasn't interested and pranced away. Then he followed me! I figured, he's yet another victim of infatuation with  a beautiful toy poodle princess.

Raggedy Annie

Dear world,
Raggedy Ann and I have a lot in common. She was found in an attic, I was found in a shelter. Her name was inspired by the poems "The Raggedy Man" and "Little Orphan Annie".  My name was also inspired by Little Orphan Annie! We both are said to have a sweet, positive outlook and kindly ways. She is supposed to have a candy heart. I wonder if I do too?

Stop and Listen

Dear world,
When I am walking in a park, I like to stop and smell the flowers. So when I am at the beach I also like to take the time and let all my senses enjoy the surroundings. So I stop and listen to the ocean. You should try it!

Princess Party

Dear world,
I helped Mom do a Princess Party for Rosy for her Gotcha Day yesterday.  The best part was the cake.  It was sort of weird seeing Rosy’s name burn on the cake when she forgot to blow the candles out.  The cake was so delicious. The only problem was that as usual within a minute, my plate was empty and Rosy’s plate was still full.  Since it was her birthday, I did not try to eat her piece of cake. I try to be a good sister.

Gotcha Day !

Today is my Gotcha Day but I like to refer to it as my birthday since I started a whole new fab life on that day. Can you believe what I looked like three years ago? Just in case you don't know my story, it is just like a fairytale.  While still living in Memphis, I found my Mommy while she was walking Bear and Fuzz on Rose Street. (Hence my name Rosy Rue!) And that is when I became a princess and am now living happily ever after in California.

PS. You can read more about that day (and the days after) on my brother Bear's blog
  Love Always Bear -  Everything's coming up Rosy !

Pomeranian Encounter

Dear world.

The other day at the beach, we met these adorable Pomeranians. Annie thought they were moving house slippers! And she considers slippers toys. So she kept barking at them to stop moving so she can chew on them. So Mommy decided to take Annie away before she tried to carry one home and put it in her toy pile.

Sailors

Dear world,
Since we live by the water. I was wondering why we never go out on a boat. So I thought of an idea. If Annie and I dress up in fab nautical outfits, someone would just have to take us out on their boat. So we are keeping watch out for boats. Ideally, it would be a yacht of course.

Model catch

Dear world,
Annie sometimes plays ball with me at the beach. Often, she will show off and jump real high to get the ball. But just cause I am little and beautiful, doesn't mean I am not an athlete. I not only can catch a ball but I can have a high fashion pose at the same time. Maybe I will be discovered by Tyra.
