Lassie's 4th Birthday

Today 12/12/13 is my birthday!!!!!

I am 4 today.


I am a little sad because...

a) Mommy had to go to do the work-thing today.

b) My birthday hasn't been declared a national holiday yet!

c) The Lassiter High School Marching Band (who lives in some state far away from here) didn't even parade down my street!  (I think they could have marched all the way to my state -- don't you think?)

Here is a link to a video of the Lassiter High School Marching Band on YouTube. http://youtu.be/fEC7iJm-dgE





Is a little parade too much to ask fur on your birthday?

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.

Don't furget to write the word "Plush" if you want to enter the drawing for the toy ambulance.  And please write your ideas on how we should pawsomefy the ambulance.

post turkey -- christmas card exchange -- lake

Sorry we've been MIA lately.   We've been in a turkey coma the past few days.  Well not really, butt it sounds better than saying Mommy was busy cooking a Kasha stuffing for Thanksgiving, and Mommy was busy helping her niece learn the song Grinch on the trombone for her niece's holiday concert, or Mommy was busy putting up the$16.99 Christmas Tree with her eldest niece and nephew.

It's $16.99 Christmas Tree's 10th birthday this year!  So exciting.

By the way -- whenever we thought the Turkey needing basting -- we would bark to be let outside.  So, Mommy would let us out, and remember to baste the turkey, and then let us in.  So the turkey was pawsome on Thanksgiving all because of us dogs!



In other news....

We've been busy  working on our Blogville Christmas Card Exchange.  We signed up this year to pawticipate in the exchange and Mommy decided to use up her old postage stamps.  I say it's because Mommy is cheap -- and decided to use up old stamps to save money.   Mommy said -- that's not entirely true.  See at Mommy's old job she used to get to look at return envelopes and would notice stamps a lot.  I wouldn't say Mommy is a stamp collector -- butt she used to save some cancelled stamps she thought looked interesting. Well, sometimes she saw ones she really liked - like Disney or Muppet stamps or even the stamps that came out around September 11th -- and she went to the post office and bought sheets of new stamps and just saved them.   Well, Mommy said -- I can't think of a better time to use these older new stamps that I've collected than now.  So she used up her Pinocchio, Lion King, Mickey Mouse, Snow White, Miss Piggy, Kermit the Frog, and patriotic stamps on the Christmas Card Exchange.   She had to buy some 2, 10, and 1 cent postage stamps to make up the difference in price.

We really hope we calculated all the make up prices right on the envelopes with the old/new stamps.   We had so many spreadsheets and calculators going to try to figure out how many stamps to put on all the envelopes.

We really hope the envelopes don't come back returned to us -- or the Mailman might have a fit returning all these envelopes to us.  So keep your paws crossed everyone, that the cards make it to the intended recipients on the Blogville Christmas Card Exchange.  (If they end up getting returned -- we will just email everyone some Holiday Greetings instead with an apology.)

 

This is a picture of us inspecting all the stamps on the envelopes.  This pile of envelopes is just half the pile we mailed out.

We already got 5 cards from Bloggers in the mail.  We were so excited to get them from the Cowspot Dogs, Frankie n Ernie, Susie and Sidebite, Sweet William and some new friends The Slimmer Pugs -- thank you everyone!

 

 

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

 

And finally we got to go to the lake in our neighborhood last week.  These pictures aren't the greatest but it was fun.

Lassie and Benji  -- Mommy had a tough time taking photos on her phone.  That's supposed to be the lake in the background.

 

 

 

Guess that's it for this post. 

Next post will be about the Blogville Ambulance and needing your ideas to help pimp it up.

So excited.  Stay tuned.
