Trombone Weekend

Mommy had a cold last week.  She kept us up all night  throwing her socks all over the bedroom when she was hot. 

She also kept us up blowing her nose.   (So, that's why you see a roll of toilet paper on the night stand in the video below -- she ran out of tissues.)



Don't worry she is feeling better now.


So, since I am a considerate Sheltie, I let Mommy relax this weekend and I decided to direct Mommy's niece's Trombone practice over the weekend both on Saturday and Sunday in MY Master Bedroom.

(Video is a lot of barking-- be warned!)

Did you notice Mommy's niece tapping her foot to the beat of the music in MY Dog Bed on Saturday's rehearsal.

Lassie tapping the beat with his paw on the Music Folder on Sunday's rehearsal.

Lassie giving tips on the correct posture to hold the trombone.  Note the angle.  The trombone should not be tilted down. 

 

Lassie demonstrating the "tonguing" technique to blow into the mouthpiece to attack the shorter quicker notes like triplets.   

Hope everyone had a very nice weekend.

And thanks again to those who wished Mommy's niece congratulations on getting into the school play.  She was so happy to get so many wishes from you all to put into the program book.  We can't wait to see the program book -- I bet all our Petron ads will take up a full page.  It's so exciting.

Your comment in a program book

Mommy's oldest niece made it into her school play.  (Some of you might remember that Mommys niece was my dance partner when the late Big Honey Dog had a Dance contest a couple of years ago.)

Would any blog friends out there be interested in writing a congratulations comment to Mommys niece-- your message will appear in the printed Drama Club's program book. 

They have a special section in the program book called "Petrons" just for messages from pets.

Mommy thought it would be neat to have a few Petron ads from our Blog Friends who always write us comments.  Mommy is willing to pay for up to 20 comments from blog friends to appear in the Program book.

The maximum message size is 80 characters (including letters and spacing and punctuation).  Mommy's niece's name is 8 letters long.  (We put big X's below to leave room fur her name.)


Here are some examples of a message:

1.  XXXXXXXX, You're the cat's meow! Love, xxxxx
2.  XXXXXXXX, Bring the Woof down! From, xxxxx
3.  XXXXXXXX, Break a Paw! Love, xxxxx
4.  XXXXXXXX, You were pawsitively amazing! Love, xxxx
5.  XXXXXXXX, You were purr-fect!  From, xxxxx

And here's our message..

XXXXXXXX, Congratulations on a pawsome performance.  Love, Lassie & Benji



Remember to just put your pet's name at the end of the message (no human's names).  And no blog addresses in the message either.



We need the comments by Thursday night so we can get it all typed up on the paper for the school.

Thanks fur your help in wishing Mommy's niece Congratulations on getting into her school play!

Mommy always talks to her niece about fun stuff we read about on your  blogs -- she laughed so hard at the Crabby Girls picture once when the Crabby Girls totally overdid their makeup.   Mommy's niece is really impressed by all the tricks that everyone knows.   And she laughed at a few of the jokes at the New Years Eve Bash.  etc.
