Our Blogville Olympics Recap...Photo slideshow

We had so much fun at the Blogville Olympics!!! Thanks to all the hosts of all the events!  The games were  PAWSOME! 

We made a photo slideshow of us at the Blogville Olympics.  Also, there are some bonus photos in there of us practicing for the events, etc.  Mommy played the Baritone Horn to a CD for the video, so make sure to turn OFF your speaker volume, so we want to say thanks to Mommy for putting some background music to the photos.  See what we have to put up with Hope you enjoy listening to the music.

Benjamin's 1st Birthday!!!

Today is Benjamin Gilligan's 1st Birthday!  Happy Birthday, Benji! 

We had a blast at the Blogville Olympic "Keep Away" event today.  In case you didn't see it, here is the link to the "Keep Away" Olympic Event where Benji celebrated his birthday.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes for Benji!  He got a lot of treats and the 2 stuffies that Mommy bought for us to share --  a Hershey Bar Shaped Dog Toy Stuffie and a Reese Dog Toy Rope Thingy -- don't worry they aren't made from real chocolate.  Benji is really liking the Reese Dog Toy Rope Thingy the best!  Oh and of course, I am enjoying sampling some of his birthday dog treats!

Have a great day everyone!  We are off to go enjoy the Tuneful Farting Event at the Blogville Olympic games! Busy Busy Day!

Tomato Garden update

Just a quick post during the Blogville Olympics to let you know  Mommy hasn't been attending to our Vegetable Garden during the Blogville Olympic games.  Yesterday was Sticks and Pole Jumping during the Olympics -- it was pawsome!!!  Mommy was so proud of us that she got herself all teary eyed.  She gets all teary eyed when she is happy!   So, you would think she would put all that crying to good use -- and water our Tomato garden while it's hot outside -- NOPE!  

Grandma made Stuffed Peppers with meat and rice.  See those 2 tiny peppers in the middle (You may need a magnifying glass to see them) -- those are from our Vegetable garden.  The rest of the peppers were bought at the store.  (Another pathetic attempted at growing vegetables of our own.)

Mommy already went thru and cut off dead branches from the tomato plants a couple of weeks ago when it was 100+ degrees.  Now look at it again -- dead branches again.    We did manage to get some tomatoes, green peppers and cucumbers to grow -- butt they are what you call "heirloom" ones -- you know, not perfect ones.   Well, the season isn't over yet -- maybe Mommy can salvage our garden somehow. 

Tomorrow is Benji's 1st Birthday -- and we can't wait to celebrate at the "Keep Away" event at the Blogville Olympics.   (Don't worry -- Benji and I still have plans to spend the rest of the day with Mommy and Grandma for Benji's birthday - we won't be at the Olympics all day!!!)
