Monkey and me!

Hi my buddies, I want you to meet one of my most favorite toys, Monkey.

Monkey is very special and I only play with him when I am with Sissy and Boyfriend. He has just the right squeak and he feels great in my mouth. 

I love Monkey!

Do you have a special toy??

F.F.H.T. September 2015

Welcome to another F.F.H.T. hosted by the great and powerful...

It was a lovely day outside and Mommy and I were just hanging around getting some fresh air.

I brought some of my favorite toys out to play with.

I noticed some kids were playing and I wanted to go and check it out. Mommy said no, I should stay by her.

 Mommy has been trying to let me off my leash for a little bit each day. I decided that I am a big boy and I don't need to listen all the time to Mommy. I went to see what the kids were doing. 

What is chalk??

And that's why my toes turned purple!! 

I am sorry Mommy I will listen to you next time. 

We went inside after that and I was a good boy for the rest of the day. Mommy wasn't really mad.

Listen to Mommy!!

Ziggy Out!!

 

 

Hanging Out!

Mommy is still barking but getting better. I am just hanging out and taking care of her with licks and love.

Happy Fall!!!

Mommy and I want to brag a little bit. Sissy and Boyfriend and some special friends of ours all walked to raise money for Diabetes.

Angel Daddy had diabetes and it made him very sick so we hope they find a cure and help people not to suffer. 

Angel Daddy was a huge Wisconsin Badger fan so Sissy, Boyfriend and Mommy had these shirts made up for the walk. 

I bet Angel Daddy was walking right along with them.

Ziggy Out!!

I Got A Package!!

Hi my buddies, Mommy is still sneezing and barking so we are pretty chill over here. Just taking it easy and I am taking good care of her.

I am so excited to show you what I got in the mails from Aunt Dory, Uncle Jakey, Uncle Arty and Uncle Bilbo @ Dory's Backyard. 

I won it for being the King of the Demolition Derby. 

Look at all this loot!!

Thank you very much for all my pressies!!

 I love you!

It is good to be the King!!

OMD these are both soooooooooooo good. Mommy said the Nathans looks and smells good enough for her to eat(she better not).

 I love my burger, I ran off with this one first.

I have my own popsicle!

Everything is super yummy and I am a lucky pup.

Ziggy Out!! 

p.s. Mommy is making me say this, I am a very excited and active young pup so it is hard to get me to sit still for pictures sometimes. I have no idea why she made me tell you this.

My New Collar

Hi my buddies, this will be a quick post cause Mommy has a bad head cold and sore throat. 

I am taking very good care of her and she will be better in no time.

I got a very cool new collar that Mommy ordered for me from our pal Mollie from her Etsy Store tinyurl.com/mollieandalfie

This is my Halloween collar with kerchief attached. I also got Superman and another spooky one that I will show you next time.

Mollie also sent a beautiful homemade treasure of Angel Sasha that Mommy loves, we will show you that next time too, when Mommy feels better. 

I am off to take care of her right now.

Ziggy Out!!

p.s. Something very strange is starting to happen at my house.

A Strange Visitor???

Hi my buddies, I was outside doing my business and a big truck went past my house and I saw something fall out.

I was curious so I had to go and check it out

What are those?? The truck had Pencil Vane E Ah license plates.

That is where Sarge lives and I think Frankie and Ernie are gonna live there.

What is going on??

OMD, Angel Sasha told me stories about the snowfreaks that live with Frankie and Ernie, but they only come out at Christmas time.

I am feeling dizzy, I don't know what to do. 

Mommy help me, the snow freaks are taking over our yard!!

Angel Sasha told me that Frankie and Ernie don't like the snowfreaks, so I found them a nice spot to rest in(he he).

They won't make to Pencil Vane E Ya and Frankie and Ernie, there are a few less snowfreaks to worry about this Christmas.

I hope you had a safe journey and like your new home. 

I miss you guys!!

Ziggy Out!!

9/11/2001 We Will Never Forget

I am dedicating my post today to Porkchop who crossed the bridge in 2012 and all the rescue dogs and trainers who are so brave.

We have received word that the last surviving 9/11 Search & Rescue Dog has died. Porkchop was only one year old when he heroically aided the search at Ground Zero. 

After the World Trade Center attacks, 13 Search Dog Foundation teams were deployed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help search for survivors. These teams offered hope in a world that felt somber and hopeless.  Over the intervening dozen years, the dogs have passed away from old age.  Porkchop was the last.

 

 

 In this photo from 2001, Porkchop is comforted by Erick Robertson while receiving a dehydration intravenous treatment on Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2001, at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals mobile clinic just outside Ground Zero. Both have been working at the World Trade Center site since Sunday. (AP Photo/Suzanne Plunkett)

God Bless America!

Long Weekend

Hi my buddies, I hope everybuddy had a nice holiday weekend.

We had lots of fun together.

It was really really hot outside so we stayed in and played some games and watched stuff and snuggled part of the time.

My family abandoned me and went to this place where they get all kinds of fresh food and stuff. This is what they brought home. 

They smelled suspiciously of barbecued pork, lemonade and popcorn. There was none for me to share. 

What is up with that??

Sissy bought Mommy these beautiful flowers and they smelled real nice. 

We grilled tube steaks and had wallymelon and lots of fun time together. 

I hope you did too with your family.

My Reward For The Cold Cold Pool!

Hi my  buddies, remember when I told you about the cold water in the big bowl Sissy and Big Brother got for me.

There was a really good reward when I came out.

I got to eat something wonderful called "cheese".

It was so good I can't even begin to describe it, I think I went into a trance.

Cheese is good.

Ziggy Out!!

A Big Surprise For Ziggy!

Hi my buddies, Sissy and Big Brother told me they had a surprise for me outside. 

I couldn't wait, I love outside, so it must be something great!

I was wrong.
