Bury the Ball

 

Annie found a ball the other day on our walk. So I thought she was going to just put it with her gargantuan pile of toys in the family room. But  she went outside with it. When I saw her a few minutes later,  I knew just what she did with the ball because she thinks her nose is a shovel.

Mary Poppins

The movie Mary Poppins was released 52 years ago today (1964 if you dont want to do the math), I just love Mary Poppins so I watched the movie again.  I was so inspired. I went over to Annie when she was about to get her medicine and barked the melody 'Just a Spoon Full of Sugar helps the medicine go down'. Annie barked that she is not allowed to have any sugar. So thinking like Mary, since I wanted to say something but had nothing to say I barked  'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'!

The Cardiff Kook

The other day we were in Cardiff-by-the-Sea and saw this very unusual statue. So I asked a local about it and he said it is named The Magic Carpet Ride, but everyone calls it The Cardiff Kook. Most of the surfing community doesn't like it cause they say it looks like a novice surfer that is about to fall off his board. People often dress him up in all sorts of gear. That day he was in Del Mar Racing garb since it is Racing season. 

I want to come back and see the Kook in October - he must look fab in Pink !

#FuzzFriday Dog Day

Today is National Dog Day.  I may be partial since she is my dog, but I think Annie is the Best Dog!. So I asked her what she wanted for Dog Day. She barked she wanted a dog ! I knew what that meant! Of course I served her fave dog with cheese and a side of bacon. After all, the Best Dog deserves the Best Dog!

And whether or not you observe Dog Day, please have a special treat for #FuzzFriday in memory of my brothers - the best boy dogs - Bear and Fuzz!

National Waffle Day

Today is National Waffle Day. So I thought we should celebrate by making Eggos! I told Annie that she can have an Eggo as a treat, but not eat it all at one sitting.  

The next thing I know, Annie has already eaten half. So I told she needs to give it to me and I will save it for her.  But Annie barked back "I won't leggo of my Eggo ! "

Pool Surfing

I was really inspired by that pink surfboard at the beach, so I decided to try pool surfing. I thought that this is very good practice for balancing on a board in case I want to go ocean surfing. I did very well and thankfully did not get my poodle curls wet ! Maybe next time I will have Daddy swim next to me and make waves.

Tooth Fairy Day

Today is National Tooth Fairy Day. I told Annie and Bunnybell that we should become tooth fairies for the day.  But unbeknownst to me, they had already discussed it among themselves and decided not to participate. When I asked why, Annie barked that they love their sleep and are not interested in a night job. Besides that, they are dogs; so they don't fly even with the silly wings I gave them. Typical teenage girls rebellion.
