Our 4th of July

We were busy playing all day long on the 4th of July.

We were so tired, that Benji actually slept thru the fireworks that night.  Benji is always afraid of thunderstorms and such, that Mommy actually got up in the middle of the night to check on Benji since he wasn't afraid of the fireworks.    Turns out Benji was just dog-tired and slept thru it! 

This is a game that Benji played called "Badminton".  Not sure why they call it that because they weren't wearing any mittens on their paws, especially not any bad looking mittens.   Benji chose the team opposite of Mommy and he just stood their watching the "birdie" fly back and forth over the net (and you guessed it -- it wasn't even a real bird they used as a "birdie" it was just a plastic funnel thing with a rubber tip.)   Humans really don't know how to name stuff do they?

Us playing with our Spiderman ball. 

A close-up picture from the Spiderman Ball photo.  Mommy loves the face Benji was making.

Instead of cleaning the house before the pawty -- Mommy made a new bandana.  She made the red striped one and let me (Lassie) wear it.  Benji got my hand-me-down (paw-me-down) Winkie bandana.  So we wore red white and blue bandanas on the 4th of July.  How clever.

Have a pawsome day!

old toy vs new toy

We got a bit behind in blogging.  Sorry about that. 

We wanted to thank everyone for their comments on how to help Mommy with her work Blog.  She hasn't had a chance to play around with setting a new email address for it -- butt that is her first priority after a deadlion she is on.  (By the way,  my dog blog is under Mommy's personal email address so us dogs aren't in danger of losing our blog because of Mommy's work email address going away.)



Yesterday a bunch of bloggers participated in Bacon's Show and Tell where humans talk about their childhood toys. 

Mommy doesn't have this toy anymore -- butt this was her favorite.  It was a 1972 Fisher Price Merry Go Round.   When Mommy was little, there was a girl named Adelle who lived down the street. Adelle's family was poor and Grandma asked Mommy if there were some toys that she would like to give Adelle.  Mommy gave the Merry Go Round to Adelle.    Mommy is such a sweet person, eventhough Mommy loved that toy, she wanted to give that toy to someone who needed it more.

I found the picture of this toy on Etsy.

Anyway, now for a new toy.

Our blog friend Cocco the minipig has a shop on Etsy.  When Mommy ordered a cat toy for a friend of hers, Cocco was very kind to send us two rope toys that he made.  Anyway, Mommy finally gave us the rope toys to play with yesterday.  These are pictures of Benji playing tug of war with Mommy with the rope toy.   By the way,  Benji won the Tug of War match.   He is strong and nearly knocked Mommy off the sofa she was laying on while playing with him.  

 

That's my (Lassie's) tail on the left.  Totally photo bombed Benji's photo!

 

Have a great day and a safe 4th of July weekend!

new e-mail address question

Mommy has a work question...

I am allowing her to ask the question on MY blog just this one time.  (I better get some bonus treats out of Mommy fur allowing her to use MY blog on her behalf!!!  I guess Mommy should give Benji some bonus treats too -- because if she doesn't, he usually ends up stealing some of mine.)



Mommy was curious if anyone ever changed the e-mail address they use for Blogger.

Mommy has a Blogger blog for her work.  It is set up under her work email.

Mommy was just told her work email is not going to be active after July 31st.   They are supposed to switch emails to something else because of tons of SPAM, etc... so it will be a totally different email address starting in August.



She is trying to figure out how this email change is going to affect the blog she set up for work.

She did a quick internet search, and she found this article -- and now she is paranoid about if she changes her email address the wrong way -- she could end up losing all the stuff she has in that blog.  


Has anyone ever tried to change their blogger blog login email to a different email address? 

Even if you never did try to change your email address -- thanks fur reading this email anyway.
