Candy Land and Honey

 

Mommy's nephew challenged Benji and I to play "Candy Land" with him on Saturday!

 

 

SQUIRREL !!!!

We were barking our heads off at the gameboard because we saw a SQUIRREL right there in Candy Land.  Do you know how hard it was fur us dogs to concentrate on the game and stay on our colored square seeing that squirrel all taunting us like that eating that nut.  

To make things worse.  I don't know what game Benji was playing!  He was not focused on winning at all. He had his own ideas of what the game Candy Land was about.

 See, in the game Candy Land, there are a few special spots on the board.  If you pick the card with a special character on it -- you have to automatically go to that spot on the game board.   That could be good or it could be bad.  It could advance you in the game, or it could set you back.

 

Since, most of the special characters were food related -- Benji kept wanting to go to those spots regardless if it helped his game or set him back.  Benji went all over the place "eating" a: Gumdrop, Candy Cane, Peanut Brittle, and a Lollipop.

 

And then when Mommy's nephew (who was in the lead at that moment) picked a special card that had some kind of Plum on it -- Benji told Mommy's nephew to switch with him.  So, Benji went all the way to practically the start of the game where the Plum square was, so Mommy's nephew could move forward.

Benji all happy pulling the Gumdrop card.

Lassie after the game.

I ended up winning the game by a whisker. Mommy's nephew was a little unhappy about that.  Needless to say there was no rematch because I was tuckered out from barking at that squirrel, and Benji practically had a tummy ache eating all those make-pretend sweets.

P.S.  Today, we were saddened to read our blog friend Big Honey Dog went over Rainbow Bridge.    We furst started our blog during Big Honey Dog's dance contest over 2 years ago.  Big Honey Dog was so nice to us and made us and our blog feel welcome.   We met most of our blog friends thru Honey's blog.  We will never furget Big Honey Dog!  Tonight Mommy put on her Big Honey Dog T-shirt and Mommy gave us big slobbery kisses on our foreheads.  It was kinda Mommy's way of remembering Big Honey Dog and giving a slobbery salute to her.  Thanks fur all the memories, Honey!    We will always look to the sky and see if we can see a big star twinkling in the sky -- we know that star is Honey up there dancing over Rainbow Bridge and sending big hugs and slobbery kisses our way!

Happy New Year!

Us dogs were busy cruising around in the Blogville Ambulance all night on New Years Eve and checking on everyone at the Blogville New Years Eve Bash. 

Here is a picture of "Benji" by the Gazebo on New Year's Eve by the Ball Drop.  He decorated the Blogville Ambulance with lights and made it all festive.

 

(This "Benji" is a Christmas Ornament that Santa Paws got Mommy for Christmas.)

Benji and I even had a moment to tell our joke at the Blogville Comedy Club.

In case you missed it, we will retell our joke fur you. 

Here is our joke:



Lassie: Hey Benji, what do you get when you combine a Tooth and a House, with a Fort and a Teenager?
 

Benji: I don’t know – what do you get?

Lassie:  TOOTH HOUSE AND FORT TEEN.   

Benji:  I don’t get it...
 

Lassie: Just say it fast a couple of times…

Benji:  Too-thHouse-and Fort-Teen…
 

Benji: Too –thous-and-for-teen…
 

Benji:  I get it…

TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN!  2014

Happy New Year, From Lassie and Benji.



PS.  It snowed on Friday.  Here are some pictures of us in our yard over the weekend.

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!
