Dino Dig Day

We are pawticipating in Blogville's Dino Dig Day  6/7/14.



Benji tried digging for a dinosaur under this blanket.  He didn't find a dinosaur under there, butt he did find Grandma's feet resting on the recliner chair, so he decided to lick her feet while he was under there.
 
We have NO  Dinosaurs in our household!  Mommy tried to make one out of Aluminum Foil.    That's me (Lassie) sniffing it -- and giving this look like -- That is NOT a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Pathetic version of a dinosaur, Mommy tried to model it after the Dino in Toy Story. 


We figured, this just WILL NOT DO.   Blogville is counting on seeing some dinosaurs.


So we went out in search for some Dinosaurs at a local Carnival.



 
We saw a big spinning wheel.
 
A Pawsome Dog Ride!
Some of the Crabby Girl's relatives where hanging around at the carnival.  Not sure if they are lobsters or crab stuffies.
We thought of Cocco the minipig on this pawsome ride.  It's motorcycles and the name of the ride is "Hog Wild".
Finally, we found some Dinosaurs in the back corner of the Carnival.   
 
We decided to take a spin on the Dinosaurs.   Lassie is on the pink Dino and Benji is on the purple Dino.



 
Have a pawsome day!
 
Lassie and Benji

Calligraphy Poem

A work of art!


This is the "Love Your Pets" Poem that Mommy worked on in the Beginners Calligraphy class.

Mommy didn't learn capital letters yet, she learns them tomorrow, she just eyeballed how it was written on a chart and did her best.



She got to use a rubber stamp in class.  She picked the one with the bunny on it.  Most others chose stamps with flowers on it.  They used special markers to color on the stamp.  Mommy liked the white markers the best.  I think they said "American Crafts" as the name of the marker.  These markers stay wet on stamps.

Mommy said she had so much fun in class with the stamps.  You can use shades of colors to color in your stamp, like you can use brighter green and darker greens in the grass.  Then you mist the air with a water spray bottle and quickly wave your stamp thru the misty wet air to rehydrate the ink, then you stamp your page.   
 
You can also breathe hot air at your stamp to rehydrate the ink too instead of using a squirt bottle, butt Mommy was going all squirt bottle crazy in class squirting water in the air and having fun.   (LOL)


Mommy had a print out of our blog post that she brought to class, so she remembered the words of the poem.

Mommy went stamp crazy too -- do you see she even stamped the bunny right on our blog post print out.
 
No wonder we "Yap, yap, yap" like the poem says -- we got a bunny rabbit stamped right on our blog post!
 
 
 
Hope everyone has a fun-filled day.

Love Your Pets poem?

I want to thank everyone for offering suggestions on poems. We thought over all the suggestions, they were all so good.

Mommy even spent 87 hours on Google to try to find the perfect poem for Calligraphy class.  

Below is the "poem" we were thinking of doing.

The 1st verse we found on the internet.  The 2nd verse was inspired by us, Lassie and Benji.   What do you think?

Love Your Pets

(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Love, love, love your pets,
Love them every day.
Give them food and water, too,
Then let them run and play.

Yap, yap, yap all day,
Yap all day and night.
My doggies like to yap and yap,
It's music sung so bright.


Dedicated to Lassie and Benji the Shelties
