Trick or Treat - Card Trick

Mommy has been eating the candy that she bought to give out to the Halloween Trick-or-Treaters (she's been stressed out). We still have a few bags left --butt, I don't think there is enough.

So, Mommy and I decided to do a "Plan B" in case she doesn't get to buy more candy in time for Halloween. We learned a card trick. This trick is a version of a famous card trick -- we just improved it -- doggy style.

Here is the video.

Have a Happy Halloween in case I don't get a chance to post before then. (We still have to catch up on some blogs from last week.)

P.S. Mommy is too cheap to buy me a new Halloween Costume, so I'm going to be a Pumpkin again this year.

Adventures of the Aluminum Foil Sheltie

Once Upon a Time (earlier this week), Mommy made a Doggy that looks like me out of the aluminum foil from her sandwich.


1. The Aluminum Foil "Mini-Me" met some birdies who were just hanging around on a very dusty desk. The birdies didn't even say one word, not even a peep to me -- how rude.

2. Since the birdies didn't seem too excited to meet me, I decided to show off some tricks. Here I am sitting up in the beg position.

3. Next, I decided to do a handstand to try to impress them. (Note to self, don't try this trick at home. The only dog who I knew could do a handstand was my big brother Lucky. Since he was missing one of his rear legs, he always used to go pee pee doing a handstand. Oh, how I miss my big brother Lucky.)

4. The birdies weren't very impressed with my tricks. I decided to look in the same direction they were looking in, but I didn't see anything there.

5. I decided to go in for a closer look and saw these wires coming out of their bums! But that was ok, I'm not perfect either, my tail isn't even centered with my bottom, as you can see from the picture.

6. The birdies and I became very good friends. The End.





Wasn't that a great adventure! Here is a picture of both of us Shelties together. I think the recycled aluminum foil version of me looks just like me. Mommy did a good job!

Have a great weekend.

Quilt Stuffies?

Did you know that Quilts have Stuffies in them?

In the above picture I am putting my paw on the DELICIOUS Stuffie part of the quilt that somehow fell out of the quilt.

Grandma blamed me for pulling the stuffing out of the quilt. Of course Mommy took my side and said this quilt is over ten years old -- it's old and it's just falling apart. (I thought to myself -- wow, ten years old -- that quilt is practically and entire doggie's life time, that really is old.)



So, being such a nice and innocent dog, I offered to help fix the quilt. I found all these different color threads, but Grandma said that's not the right kind of thread to fix the quilt.

I decided my help wasn't appreciated so I went to the next room.

I overheard Mommy and Grandma talking. Grandma said to Mommy, "You know YOUR dog pulled the stuffing out of my quilt, right?" Mommy said to Grandma, "No, he didn't. Besides look our quilts don't match our sheets or our pillowcases. Maybe we will both get a new "Bed in a Bag" for Christmas, then we will have matching sheets and pillowcases, etc..."

(I thought to myself, is Mommy mad or something. First, how will Santa find a bag big enough to fit a whole bed in it. Second, how will Santa find 2 bags, finding 1 is probably hard enough. And third, how will Santa fit an entire bed with a bag around it down the chimney? Mommy must be crazy if she thinks Santa can do all of that for Christmas. Gee, all I ask Santa for is Doggie treats and toys for Christmas, maybe I should start thinking bigger.)

Have a great day!

P.S. Mommy read my post and she told me a "Bed in a Bag" is just the sheets, quilt, pillowcases in a bag -- not an entire bed frame in a bag. Gee, how was I to know that is what they meant! I hope Santa knows what a "Bed in a Bag" is, or we will need to install a bigger chimney!
