e-Camping Vacation and WINNER

We are so excited to share with you pictures from our e-Camping trip.

Thanks everyone for filling out the survey and choosing stuff for our e-Camping vacation. 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The results of the Survey showed the majority of votes said we should go e-Camping to Hawaii, we should get food Delivery to the Tent, and that we should play in a ballgame/sports.

The voting was so close between Hawaii and North Pole (Hawaii only won with 1 extra vote) -- we decided to go to both places on our e-vacation.

So that means...

We have TWO souvenir winners! 

 

Oreo & Chewy get the Hawaii Souvenir = Green Tiki Stuffie.

 

Sarge gets the North Pole Souvenir = non-melting Snowball.

 

We will contact the winners.

 

  

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

1. This is us in "Hawaii" and then in the "North Pole". 

 

 

Those Tiki Statues in Hawaii are pawsitively amazing.  We found out that Tikis scare away stuff!  (Wonder if they scare away ninja squirrels?)



 

 

Do you like our Elf Shoes at the North Pole?   

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

2. This is us getting Delivery to the Tent in Hawaii and then the North Pole.

 

 

Those Hula Dancers did a pawsome job dancing without spilling the drinks in Hawaii!

 

 

 

 

Do you know they have like 87 flavors of Ice Cream at the North Pole -- butt we just got vanilla.  

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3) This is us playing Ball in Hawaii.  And then we did some skating in the North Pole.

 

 

 

1) Hawaii - Beachball Volleyball

 

 

Mr. Peanut

 

 

A "Mr. Peanut" Sand Sculpture was totally there in "Hawaii"  (Atlantic City, NJ) to watch our Beachball Volleyball game.

 

 

 

2) North Pole - Elf Ice Cube Skating. 

 

 

We totally helped out one of Santa's Elves fur Christmas in July and helped make ice cubes.  "Ice Cube Elf" is the elf who makes ice cubes by skating on the ice and cutting the ice into cube shapes.  Santa bobsleds around and collects the ice cubes and then Santa delivers the ice to the stores.

On our way e-Camping

Thanks everyone fur voting and filling in the survey for our e-Camping adventure.  We were so excited to see what everyone selected fur us.

The voting is now closed.

We will announce the winner of the Souvenir when we get back from our e-Vacation on July 25th.   We are packing really light fur our e-Camping trip, we are gonna RUFF it outdoors you know. 


On a totally un-related topic....

Did you know there is a man named "Chase" on the US 10,000 bill.  Since my middle name is "Chase" I was intrigued to find out about it since we have NEVER EVER seen a 10,000 bill.      The man who is on the US $10,000 bill is Salmon P. Chase.  (Wait, isn't a Salmon a type of fish?)  Salmon P. Chase was the Secretary of the Treasury during Lincoln's time.

Sample only. Not official green papers.

 

I think I would look good on make-pretend Blogville Green Paper.  (Move over Salmon P. Chase  -- Lassiter Chase is in the house!)

 

 

  Unfortunately there isn't a man named "Gilligan" on any US currency.   Butt  -- on the US $100 bill is a man named Benjamin Franklin (statesman, inventor, diplomat.) Since Benji's first name is Benjamin we wondered what Benji would look like on make-pretend Blogville Green Paper....

Sample only. Not official green papers.

Oh yeah!  Move over Benjamin Franklin -- Benjamin Gilligan is in the House too!



Well, if we ever have "official" Blogville Green papers -- keep our pictures in mind!  I think we would look pawsome on Blogville make-pretend currency.


Have a pawsome week everyone!  Can't wait to post about our e-Camping vacation on July 25th!

Aloha!

We are Blogville

We are joining in with Stanley and Murphy and others for a "We are Blogville" census (sorta). 

As you know, my name is Lassiter Chase (my nickname is Lassie) I am the eldest male in our house which makes me the HEAD OF HOUSE.

Benji is my little Brother, his full name is Benjamin Gilligan, he is a bit clumsy and has some allergies and is afraid of thunder, butt other than that, everyone loves him. 


Now, on a serious note, Mommy got the scare of her life today!

Mommy was at work, Grandma wasnt home, and Mommy got a message from Grandma that someone said they saw on the news that our house was broken into.    Mommy panicked immediately.   She tried to turn on the radio to put on the news radio station, but she panicked and couldnt figure out the right buttons to push to get from FM to AM.

Then Mommy tried to do internet searches for the news stations but she kept typing things wrong, or the internet would pull up articles from the wrong states or something.  

Finally, Mommy was a nervous wreck and decided to try to call her neighbor, gasping at straws, because she didnt even know if that was the right telephone number for the neighbor via an internet search.   Luckily it WAS the right number and spoke to the neighbor.   Furst thing out of Mommy's mouth was -- did u hear my dogs barking, is everything ok?  The neighbor said everything was fine, the house looked fine, she didnt hear any police cars, no news vans,  no barking.  The neighbor didnt hear of a house being broken into on the news, butt the neighbor kept Mommy on the line and walked to our house with her cordless phone and checked the door and the gate, and everything was fine.

Mommy thanked the neighbor fur double checking fur her and giving her peace of mind.  Mommy was worried about us dogs most!

Mommy gave us the biggest hugs when she got home.


We are gonna give a pawsome notecard to the neighbor fur checking on us.

e-Camping Survey & Contest

We (Lassie and Benji) decided we want to go e-Camping fur Vacation.

We can't decide where to go or what to do while camping.

Here is the link to our Survey...

P.S.  You don't have to fill out the survey in order to enter the contest.

Our 4th of July

We were busy playing all day long on the 4th of July.

We were so tired, that Benji actually slept thru the fireworks that night.  Benji is always afraid of thunderstorms and such, that Mommy actually got up in the middle of the night to check on Benji since he wasn't afraid of the fireworks.    Turns out Benji was just dog-tired and slept thru it! 

This is a game that Benji played called "Badminton".  Not sure why they call it that because they weren't wearing any mittens on their paws, especially not any bad looking mittens.   Benji chose the team opposite of Mommy and he just stood their watching the "birdie" fly back and forth over the net (and you guessed it -- it wasn't even a real bird they used as a "birdie" it was just a plastic funnel thing with a rubber tip.)   Humans really don't know how to name stuff do they?

Us playing with our Spiderman ball. 

A close-up picture from the Spiderman Ball photo.  Mommy loves the face Benji was making.

Instead of cleaning the house before the pawty -- Mommy made a new bandana.  She made the red striped one and let me (Lassie) wear it.  Benji got my hand-me-down (paw-me-down) Winkie bandana.  So we wore red white and blue bandanas on the 4th of July.  How clever.

Have a pawsome day!

old toy vs new toy

We got a bit behind in blogging.  Sorry about that. 

We wanted to thank everyone for their comments on how to help Mommy with her work Blog.  She hasn't had a chance to play around with setting a new email address for it -- butt that is her first priority after a deadlion she is on.  (By the way,  my dog blog is under Mommy's personal email address so us dogs aren't in danger of losing our blog because of Mommy's work email address going away.)



Yesterday a bunch of bloggers participated in Bacon's Show and Tell where humans talk about their childhood toys. 

Mommy doesn't have this toy anymore -- butt this was her favorite.  It was a 1972 Fisher Price Merry Go Round.   When Mommy was little, there was a girl named Adelle who lived down the street. Adelle's family was poor and Grandma asked Mommy if there were some toys that she would like to give Adelle.  Mommy gave the Merry Go Round to Adelle.    Mommy is such a sweet person, eventhough Mommy loved that toy, she wanted to give that toy to someone who needed it more.

I found the picture of this toy on Etsy.

Anyway, now for a new toy.

Our blog friend Cocco the minipig has a shop on Etsy.  When Mommy ordered a cat toy for a friend of hers, Cocco was very kind to send us two rope toys that he made.  Anyway, Mommy finally gave us the rope toys to play with yesterday.  These are pictures of Benji playing tug of war with Mommy with the rope toy.   By the way,  Benji won the Tug of War match.   He is strong and nearly knocked Mommy off the sofa she was laying on while playing with him.  

 

That's my (Lassie's) tail on the left.  Totally photo bombed Benji's photo!

 

Have a great day and a safe 4th of July weekend!
