We want to wish everyone a Happy New Year – may it bring good health, good times, and good memories!

Here is how we spent New Year’s Day.
(We were up Way past our bedtime last night…)

Lots of Licks from Winnie and Jiggs!

Winnie: This year our family photo did not take hours and a whole bag of treats to get it right.

Jiggs: I don’t like the tripod. It’s scary. And the camera flashed a bunch of times in a row. But look how cute we are!

We wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and may 2014 be a Good Year!

Our Neighborhood Loves Halloween!

Jiggs: This year Winnie chose a cow because she is fascinated by horses and cows. She looks Udderly Delicious!

Winnie: Jiggs is a Frog because he is a Jumpy Guy!

Here we are at the Scary Graveyard – when the wind picked up stuff started to move and we wanted to go Home!

Jiggs: Winnie, we are Out of Here!

Winnie: Last week Mom and Dad took Pee-Tee-Oh and took us to the Beach!

Jiggs: We went to Carmel! We love the beach!

Winnie: It was cold and foggy but we didn’t mind. Jiggs tried to chase waves but didn’t want to get his feet wet.

Jiggs: Winnie loves to run on the beach. We have harnesses and long leashes to keep us safe.

Winnie: We had lunch at a dog-friendly restaurant – Casanova. They are very nice to us there!

Jiggs: The next day we went to Half Moon Bay for more beach time! Winnie likes to draw butt-tracks in the sand.

Winnie: After the beach we went to lunch at the Half Moon Bay Brewery. Here we are being Good Dogs while Mom and Dad ate lunch.

Jiggs: We slept all the way home. A Good Dog Day!!!

“Honey, is Winnie upstairs with you?”

“No, I thought she was downstairs with you.”

“Huh. That’s weird. I can hear her, but I don’t see her down here.”

“Did you check the bathroom?”

“Oh never mind. I found her.”

Jiggs: Dad gave Winnie a crate bed for her birthday. Today Winnie got mad because it was a no-crate day and Dad had to run an errand.

Then she dragged it out to the bedroom floor.

Then she took it up on the Big Bed to continue the party.

The End.Of the Kong Crate Bed, that is.

Winnie said the cat did it. But evidence proves otherwise.

Today is my Birthday! I am 5 years old!

Winnie: Look at the cake mama made for me! It has peanut butter, whole wheat flour, carrots, and honey in it – ooooh I can’t wait to have some!

Gratitude

• I am grateful to Mr. Tim for rescuing me from that horrible place in Florida.
• I am grateful to  Ms Donna for taking me in and the Barn Angels for healing me.
• I am grateful to Auntie Lettie for fostering me for such a long time. I miss her and my foster siblings Lulu and Uba.
• I am grateful that my forever family and boyfriend love me very much.

I would not be celebrating my birthday today if not for all of you.

Jiggs: Now? Can I have it now? This is torture!

Jiggs: Hey! She didn’t say Release yet!

Winnie: I want it now. I am the Princess today. 

Jiggs: OOOH, it’s good! Happy Birthday Girlfriend. Delicious…

I just LOVE to have my belly rubbed! It puts me in a trance…

Jiggs: Look how silly Winnie looks!

Winnie: Jiggs – you don’t know what you are missing!

Today is my Birthday!  I am three years old!

Mama made me a birthday cake – it has carrots, peanut butter, honey, and organic whole wheat flour!

Winnie: oooh Jiggs it smells so good!

Jiggs: It tastes good, Winnie – of course I’ll share it with you!

Now? Can we have it now please?

OOOOHHHH SO GOOD!

Winnie: I have to move my piece over here – away from you – I can hardly wait for my birthday Jiggs… Love you Jiggy…

Hiking season is finally here!

This is The Enemy – foxtails galore.

The Enemy!

Jiggs: One unfortunate day Winnie snorted a foxtail up her nose. It was awful. I watched my poor girlfriend sneeze and sneeze and shake her head for what seemed like way too long. Her poor little nose even bled. Mom and Dad stopped the hike right then and there and we all rushed to E-mer-gen-cy!

Winnie: Look what the vet lady had to take out of my nose! She had to put me to sleep to do this! It really hurt while it was in my nose!

The Horrible Foxtail

Jiggs: So Dad went on the In-ter-net and found a solution. These masks protect us from the horrible foxtails. Here is Winnie sporting her protective Out Fox mask.

Winnie: It’s not bad at all once I got used to it!

Jiggs: I don’t mind my mask at all! It’s actually kinda cool and everybody asks us about the masks when they see how safe we are from the foxtails!

Winnie: Now we can enjoy hiking without getting the Nasty foxtails into our eyes, ears, or noses!

Jiggs: And the added benefit is that Winnie doesn’t get to eat horse poop anymore! Yay!

I just *love* fresh horse poop!

We hope you can enjoy hiking season as much as we do!

love, Winnie and Jiggs
