We r the Dogtors

Do u know when Mommy wrote the title of this post she sang it to the song...We r the Champions.

Anyway, in Blogville, everyone who holds a position is asked to post about their Blogville position.

We have no medical training and have no medical education butt we look pawsome in our Dogtors uniforms which make us highly qualified to be your Dogtors.

Now here are a few tips when u are looking after your human when they are feeling sick.

Number 1, encourage your human to eat grass when their tummy is upset.  U can demonstrate how to eat grass to your peeps. Humans need all the help they can get, its like their minds become mashed potatoes when they get the sniffles.  So being a good role model is of upmost importance in taking care of your peep.

Number 2, always check on your humans when they go to the potty.  U dont want them falling in the toilet.  The best way to get in the bathroom is to walk close behind your human and when they try to close the door behind them, thats when u stick out your paw so that u catch the door before it closes.

Number 3, check your humans cognitive skills by barking and begging for them to give u a treat or let u outside.  I say bother them at least every 87 seconds,  if they catch on and say... I just let u out or ... I just gave u a treat... Then u know your human is still sane.

Number 4, if your human was feeling poorly and u give them sympathy looks ...and then they pull out the camera beasty...  U totally know they are feeling better. (Exhibit A is the photo above, i went to check on Mommy when she was laying down and then she had the nerve to try to snap a photo of me with her cell phone....  Totally dont look at the camera! Don't be fooled!   If the human is well enough to be snapping photos...then they are well enough to be playing with u and taking u for walks. You can quote me on that!

And finally Number 5, check on your sick peep while they are sleeping.  I find the best way to make sure the peep didnt die on u is to gently jump on the bed, then quietly tip toe to your peep who is sick...and then... Give em a big lick on the lips!  The humans usually wake right up and start making these spitting raspberry sounds once u kiss them.  Works every time.

I hope u found these tips useful.

Happy Thank Blogville Day

We are posting a little early, butt we wanted to make sure we wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and a Happy Thank Blogville Day.

We thank Blogville fur being there fur us and fur Mommy.  We turn to Blogville countless times when we need a smile!  We love Blogville fur writing us kind and fun comments!  We don't have many followers, butt you know what they say --- it's quality, not quantity that matters.  We love our Blogville friends, you've been with us thru thick and thin, and we wouldn't trade you guys fur 87 million cookies!

Now, as you know we are Blogville's Dogtors. (Lassie is Dogtor and Benji is EMT/Ambulance Driver.)  We completed a full year term as of November 22nd!  Woo Hoo!   And we signed on fur another year of Blogville Dogtor adventures. 

Look at my plaque hanging in the Blogville Ambulance.  I am so thankful Blogville nominated me as "Blogville's Top Dogtor of the Year."  (Maybe because I'm Blogville's only Dogtor.)

Every month I, Dr. Lassiter, was chosen Blogville's Top Dogtor!  I am so honored!

As you know in the past year we Spiffed up the Blogville Ambulance, we pawticipated in a Parade, and we wrote a couple of Dogtor Journals and today... we are sharing our newest issue of the Dogtor Journal with you.

Our newest issue of the Dogtor Journal has "Happy Thank Blogville" theme written all over it.

The subject of our Journal is...."You Make Me Smile".


This is what the Journal says...

You Make Me Smile

 

It’s us Dogtor’s One Year Anniversary of serving Blogville. To celebrate, I, Dogtor Lassiter went to a convention at the Vets office.  I learned about teeth at the convention.  I learned you need to take care of your teeth so you have a nice smile!

Dogtor Journal #3 - You Make Me Smile, Take care of your teeth!

 

Blurry picture of a Dog's Teeth Chart hanging on the wall at the "Convention."

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! 

 

Dogtor Lassie and EMT Benji

 

 

 

P.S.  Here are the other 2 Journals in case you want to look at them again.

Dogtor Journal #2 - Poop Bag/Flashlight Combo.  So your humans can scoop the poop in the dark.

Dogtor Journal #1 - Sticky Tape Lint Roller thing to get hair off clothes.

 

 

Big Foot is in da house!

Mommy has a foot ouchie!

Good thing fur Mommy she is living in the Blogville Dogtor's Residence!  Did I mention I (Dr. Lassie) am the most handsome make-pretend Dogtor in all of Blogville!

I examined her foot ouchie and determined she needs a bigger shoe because her foot hurts and is swollen (it's swollen like 87 times bigger than my ego!)

I demonstrated to Mommy, she needs to keep her ouchie foot elevated like this....

In the meantime, I sent EMT/Ambulance Driver Benji off on a mission to find a bigger shoe fur Mommy! 

Benji drove the Blogville Ambulance day and night with the sirens blaring until Benji arrived at his destination...!

Do you know who's house that is?




Look who Benji went to see to get a bigger shoe.... 









http://youtu.be/891XuTSjqaM



Benji got Herman (Munster)'s shoe and brought it back home fur Mommy. 

Do you see the size of that shoe!    


Just to make sure it was actually Herman's shoe -- I decided to sniff it!

Gag, Gag, Cough...Gasping for air!  Yap, I think it is Herman's shoe!   (It's actually a brand new ortho shoe from the doctor that Mommy went to see.)


I am making Mommy wear the shoe for about a week, I guess, until the swelling goes down. 


Glad we could be of service to our Mommy! 

Mommy, your bill is in the mail -- I know where you live!

Sincerely,
Dogtor Lassie and EMT Benji

Ring in the 2014 New Year

Blogville is gonna be the place to be on New Year's Eve. 

Visit Sarge's blog to find out all the details on where to go on New Years Eve.  There's a bunch of stuff planned on lots of blogs. 

Benji and I are gonna tell a New Years Eve joke at Hailey and Zaphod's blog.  We will bring the Blogville Ambulance and the case of "Depends" Undergarments in case anyone pees themselves laughing at our joke and all the other Comedy Acts on New Years Eve.

Now, we were hoping to do something special fur New Years, and we came up with this little "game" below -- it's kinda cheesy, butt Mommy did her best trying to create something in Google Docs.  Anyway, if you want to try your paw at the game, just click on the screens where it says to.  Make sure to start on Slide 1 to begin, and click on the spots of the screen where it says to in the directions.  Hope you are able to figure out our game "Ring in the 2014 New Year."



 


Happy New Year everyone!

PLUSH

 

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


Now without any further Doggie Doo, we would like to present Blogville's Pawsome New Ambulance.

Furst of all we would like to show you the HIPPO PLAQUE that we hung in the Ambulance.

See, humans (at least in the US) read a piece of paper that has some kind of Health Information Privacy stuff on it.

In our Blogville Ambulance, we took things up a notch.  We had the "HIPPO" privacy statement engraved as an oath on a 24 Carrot Gold Plaque and we have it hanging up in the Ambulance.  Count them -- there's 24 carrots on the border of the plaque - oh yeah!     

HIPPO stands for "Hippo's Important Patient Privacy Oath."  The Oath is:  "What happens in the Ambulance, stays in the Ambulance!"   So, due to privacy (and the fact that we don't actually know anything about medicine)  all the procedures and operations that are performed in the Ambulance have to be strictly confidential for the benefit of the Patient's Privacy!


And here is the list of the Blogville Ambulance Features (by category):

Décor/Impawtant Stuff

 

1. 87 Inch Flatscreen TV tuned to “Animal Planet.”

2. 87 million count thread sheets for the stretcher so everyone can be nice, warm and cozy.

3. Plush seats.

4. High Speed Internet so we could surf the interwebs.

5. A pinball machine to play when it's not busy.

6. A hot tub -- that will help people relax.

7. A Downy plushy comforter in there to cover up any patients or lucky ducks that get to ride in Blogville's Ambulance

8. Plush heated and cooled doggie beds fur workers and fur patients. (You can never be too comfy.)

 

Customized Automotive Pawsomefied Stuff

1. Ability to transform into a boat for any aquatic friends in need.

2. Siren that can be programmed between playing multiple tunes including “Who let the dog’s out”, the Ice Cream truck jingle, and a traditional Siren sound.  (For undercover purposes, it needs to alternate between tunes when appropriate.)

3. Turbo boosters to go really fast. (Star Trek like transportation technology so the ambulance can move quickly from place to place.)

4. Cloaking device so that we can go without being seen.

5. Hover-mode has been installed.  It has wings to fly with the push of a button.  That way we won't be blocked by debris in the road, and we can just float right over it. And we can go over oceans and lakes and up in the air to reach ALL Blogville citizens who might need help. 

6. The Ambulance has the ability to expand (like an accordion bus), so that it can double or even triple in length to fit large animals like Elephants and Whales.

7. The Ambulance comes equipped with a "secret panel" on the roof of the ambulance, so with the push of a button, the roof panel of the Ambulance can slide open.  It has many uses for example: can be used as a skylight for claustrophobic patients; or it can be used as a opening for any giraffes that might need help in Blogville that are too tall to otherwise fit in the ambulance. The "secret panel" is also a great way for Santa Paws to enter and deliver presents to patients on Christmas Eve.

 

The "secret panel" on top of the Ambulance is the grey circle thing on the roof as shown in this model!

Saftey Features

1. Lasers in case of Alien Invasion.

2. A squirrel escape proof cell.

3.  A "Machine Gum" to keep those ambulance chasing squirrel lawyers out of the picture.  (Now what us Dogtor’s did is invent a "secret panel" on the roof of the Ambulance, so with a push of a button, the roof will slide open, and a secret turret (a little tower) will raise from inside the ambulance and then we can "gum" down those ambulance chasing squirrel lawyers when necessary by shooting out wads of sticky chewing gum at them!)

 

Food/Beverages

1.  Mini-Fridge/Freezer containing:  Milk, Beer, Ice Cream...

2. Bacon dispenser.  (To Cocco, our Mini Pig blog friend, the bacon in the Bacon dispenser will be a sort of imitation product that looks like Bacon and tastes like Bacon, butt is definitely NOT made from the stuff that real Bacon comes from.)

3. Cheese dispenser.

4. Treat dispenser for puppers and kitties in bad need.

5. Bacon for medical use – to use as Smelling SALTS in case of Fainting.

6. Nice container of FRESH GROWN CATNIP.

7. A stash of Fresh BONES.

8. Cheetos.

9.  Cheeseburger grill.

10.  Pizza oven in case of hungry patients. (Sasha will be glad to provide the homemade possum pizza.)

11.  Fully stocked bar... fur medicinal purposes, of course!

 

Medical Supplies

1. Plenty of Stuffies with Squeakers... to check HEARING and REFLEXES.

2. Gravy Bags instead of Saline bags!

3.  Supply of pawsome-looking bandages and wraps with cool things like pictures of bones and mice and words like woof and meow all over them so anyone who's injured can still be stylish.

4. And bandages with pictures of Scooby-Doo and Snoopy on them to make us feel brave. (Well, okay, there can be Garfield too for the kittehs!)

5. NO CONES OF SHAME!

6. NO SHOTS!

7. Every medicine should be wrapped in a liver coated treats.

8.  Our Dogtor's medical black bag will be filled with a heap of treats and it will have a nice delicious meaty smell to it.

9.  And last butt not least, the Blogville Ambulance will have a case of “Depends” (undergarments) in case any female patients pee themselves for a ride with a cute EMT and a handsome Dogtor.

We really want to thank everyone in Blogville for their Comments!  Operation: Pawsomefy Up Blogville's Ambulance was a GREAT SUCCESS all because of your help!

Thank you!

Operation: Pawsomefy Up Blogville's Ambulance & a Giveway

We are Blogville's newest medical team.  I am Dr. Lassiter Chase the Sheltie (aka Dr. Lassie) and my brother Benji is Blogville's EMT/Ambulance Driver. 

We need your ideas in how to  Pawsomefy Up Blogville's Ambulance. (As in the tv show "Pimp my ride".)

 

We already know we want to put an 87 inch Flatscreen or Plasma TV in it.  And perhaps a mini-fridge.  Butt we totally need ideas on what else the Blogville Ambulance needs.  

Of course this is all for the benefit of the patient.  Our number one priority is Patient's Safety, Care, and Comfort.   (*cough* Bachelor pad *cough* .)



Dr. Lassie and EMT Benji (Benji is performing a safety inspection on the bottom of the Ambulance in this picture.)

We are uncertain what features the Blogville Ambulance should have? What are your thoughts on the following?

- Lasers in case of an Alien Attack when transporting a patient?  

- The capability to transform itself into a boat, in case any of our Aquatic Blogville friends need medical help?

-87 million count thread of some kind of sheet fabric for the stretcher?  Afterall we need the best for Blogville!


Any ideas you can come up with to customize or Pawsomefy Up Blogville's Ambulance would be greatly appreciated. 

We already got a comment from our Blogville friend Oskar saying it should have a Bacon Dispenser in it!  That is a totally pawsome idea.  Of course! 

 

 

 



BONUS - A GIVEAWAY FOR A PLUSH AMBULANCE DOG TOY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's right -- we decided to do a giveaway to one lucky Blogville Commenter who lives on Planet Earth!  We looked online and there is actually a Plush Ambulance Dog Toy!  We found it on the Pampered Dog website.  Mommy ordered one toy Ambulance for us, and she ordered a second toy Ambulance for us to giveaway!  So if you want to enter the drawing for the Plush Ambulance Dog Toy with Squeaker-- please write the word "Plush" somewhere in your comment.   (It's kinda a small toy as you can see in the pictures, its about 4 inches long.) We are accepting comment entries until Friday, December 20th.  We will pick the one winner of the toy ambulance and list all the stuff the Blogville Ambulance has on Saturday, December 21, 2013, and we will ask the winner to email us their contact information.  If Mommy read the calendar right -- we think that's the furst day of Winter.  So, the Blogville Ambulance should be ready to roll with all it's Pawsome new features on the furst day of Winter.  

 



Thanks so much for all your help in Operation: Pawsomefy Up Blogville's Ambulance.
