Christmas Card Count (sorta)

We got so many Christmas Cards this year from being in the Blogville Christmas Card Exchange!

Thank you everyone!

On December 6th -- the Post Office worker who delivers the mail to our house said to Mommy's Brother-in-Law (who just happened to pull up just as the mail was being delivered) -- "Umm, who are Lassie and Benji?"   Mommy's brother-in-law explained how we are the dogs of the house and are exchanging Christmas Cards with other dogs with blogs around the world. And the Post Office Worker said -- "That's cool!!!!"  

So far there were only 2 hiccups.

1 card came back marked "Return to Sender" -- and that was because of the Post Office Error; not ours. (We wrote the address correctly, butt the Postal Peeps didn't recognize the names of the dogs for that address, so they returned the card to us.)  


And the 2nd "hiccup" was when we committed a SERIOUS Blogville Christmas Card FELONY on another card.  See, a Christmas Card came addressed to another blogger's name, butt was addressed to our mailing address.  Since there was no return address on the envelope -- WE OPENED THE CARD -- without contacting the Blogville Detective Team.   As it turned out -- we already got a Christmas Card from that sender -- so the Card was intended for the other Blogger.   We ended up confessing our crime by email to Blogville's Top Cop Sidebite and we emailed the other Blogger to apologize fur opening up their card that NOW had our pawprints all over it!     Everyone was very forgiving, and there won't be a trial. 

So, here is a picture of our Christmas Cards so far. 

(Warning to our friend Frankie -- there are a couple of SnowFreaks that somehow attached itself to Sarge's card. Don't look.)


 

Hope everyone recognizes their Pawmanship (penmanship) that were on the envelopes of the cards. 

We still have some room on the green card collage, so we are hoping a few more cards will come in. 

The e-card ones are on the Green Card, some just say "Merry Christmas"  and not our name if they didn't write our names in the e-mail.

There is a super special one too. It's from Mommy's sister's family.  We were honored to be included on the card from them this year.  Last year when Mommy's sister didn't include our names on the card -- it ALMOST cost her being put on Santa's naughty list!

---------------------------------
We still have a few more Christmas Cards to hang up on the wall -- so we will make sure we take an official picture of all the Christmas Cards hanging on the wall closer to Christmas (not just a picture of the name collages.)

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.
