The Frisbee Slalom -- The Mini-Us Limpics

We are pawticipating in the Blogville Mini-Us Limpics today. 

Mini Lassie and Mini Benji's official Frisbee Slalom photo

The Mini-Us Limpics is any event you can think of.  Most doggies are using small versions of themselves -- like stuffed animals.  You can post any day during the real Olympics (except on Valentines Day.)



We don't have stuffed animal versions of us -- so we used wood cut outs that Mommy's brother-in-law made of us.

Lassie

He even made my ear stick up on the Mini-Lassie version of me.  How pawsome is that!

Benji

Anyway, since we didn't know what winter sport to enter -- we kinda made up our own - and are calling it the Frisbee Slalom.

Hope you enjoy the video! You can watch it here on youtube.

There was a bunch of behind the scenes that Mommy didn't tape -- like us real Lassie and Benji's knocking down the cones about 87 million times -- and of course Mini-Lassie kept falling off his Frisbee during the event (even though he was seat belted in.)

Mommy also has no idea how the Blogville Ambulance got on the middle of the course! (It was in her coat pocket.)  I guess the Blogville Ambulance wanted to get up close to the finish line, and got a little too close to the action.

Don't worry the Blogville Ambulance, the Athletes, and of course Mommy weren't harmed in the making of this video!


We had fun pawticipating in the event!   It's great to see how creative everyone is in Blogville coming up with Mini-us Limpic events.   

Benji and Lassie

Have a great weekend!

P.S.  Don't forget to stop by the Blogville Ambulance on Valentine's Day to see a magic trick. And of course everyone is getting ready for Mayor Madi's Blogville Queen of Hearts Dance on Valentines Day. 

Look what came in the mail

Mommy was so surprised today when the mail came!

Oh my dog -- there was a Birthday package from the Cowspotdogs and their Mommy.  Its so fun our Mommy sharing the same birthday with the Cowspotdogs Mommy!  They didn't have to send us anything, but we admit our Mommy was smiling from ear to ear when it came!

Mommy had the day off from work because of the snow. Mommy's nieces and nephews had the day off too.  Mommy's oldest niece grabbed the mail out of the mailbox right before they headed out in Smurfette the Car to buy a birthday cake fur Mommy.

Inside the box, we immediately smelt some treats fur us.  These were the best ever treats imaginable!  I think they were homemade -- they must have been because they were SUPER PAWSOME!  We kept wanting more and more, but Mommy only let us each have 2 so far.  Butt the day is still young -- lets see if we can get more out of her. 

There was also a stack of GOT SHELTIE greeting cards.    Here is a picture of Benji posing with them.   (Also included in the package was a  Birthday card fur Mommy -- butt the picture we took was blurry -- so you'll have to take our word fur it.)

Thank you so much Cowspotdog's Mom fur the birthday gift.  You are so sweet! 

Benji on our sleet covered poop deck earlier today.

Lassie on the poop deck -- it is very slick out there!

Thanks everyone fur the birthday wishes!  We really appreciate all the love and comments from everyone out there in Blogville.  You all made Mommy's day so special.  We can't thank you all enough!

 It's been a really great day.  I hope we get some of the cake tonight!

The Dogtors Journal: Year 2014, Issue 1

We finally put together our furst Blogville "The Dogtors Journal."  We hope you find it very informative. 


Not sure if you can make the picture bigger to read it, so we will just type what the journal says below.

Shedding Problems?
Do you fur-shedding animals get your furs all over your human’s clothes?  Well not to worry – just get your peep a sticky tape lint roller thingy so they can get all the extra furs off their clothes before they go out in public.

Dogtor Lassiter Chase (aka) "Dr. Lassie" is Blogville's Furst Dogtor.

EMT Benjamin Gilligan (aka) "EMT Benji" drives the Blogville Ambulance.

Serving the residents of Blogville since 11/22/13.

Disclaimer: We don't know anything about medicine, butt we are handsome and look great in our medical uniforms!

We were so inspired by our Journal that we decided to get Mommy that special sticky tape lint roller thingy for her birthday (February 3).

Lassie and the Sticky Tape Lint Roller Thingy

Do you want to know why -- because a couple of months ago -- when we were really shedding a lot, we decided to give Mommy all these extra hugs before work, and we kinda got all our furs all over her pants, butt she didn't realize it.    At work -- the big boss decided to call Mommy into a meeting -- so she was going upstairs on the elevator (alone) and looked down at her pants and she was covered in Sheltie fur!   She started jumping up and down waving her hands against her pant legs -- butt it was no use -- the furs were stuck on her!  So, she went into the meeting hoping no one would notice anything -- and she doesn't think they noticed the furs at all.   Thank Dog!  

(We were not able to obtain the surveillance video camera footage from the elevator for this blog post -- too bad -- we would have loved to see Mommy jumping up and down looking like she was doing some sort of strange rain dance in the elevator!)

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Lassie and Benji

(PS.  Happy Birthday to The Cowspotdogs Mom too.)
