the Big Four-oh!

hey there...dont know if you recall a few weeks ago, Ma started her own blog and left me and my fans high and dry. Well today's the big day for her. So I'm hoping she's done with 40 challenges and blogging about her WW pals and will shift the focus back to June.
This morning me n Blue gave her her newest "as seen on tv" gift (She has a bunch of them from us... that Billy Mays was a gift-giving GENIUS!) and a lovely card Da helped write while we dictated. I tried to explain that where I come from, each time she gets wished a happy birthday, she's supposed to give them a hot dog. I wished her a million times but guess what? NO darn hot dogs! Humpf.
I told her she's less than 6 in dog years, so nothing to worry about. I mean I'm 56 already. and the boy... he's well over 100!

Anyway, just thought I'd wish Ma a happy birthday again (still no hot dog???) and hopefully I'll be seeing you guys more often...unless she migrates her blog to be more public than just on WW. :-)
ciao.

My friend, the new Champion!

Even though I sometimes get jealous of the Grayhart girls... I am proud to announce that our friend, Jam has gotten her Championship this weekend!

Ma got a text yesterday and was so excited for her!
Read all about it on her blog:


Congratulations, Jam :-) Maybe when you get home, your ma will give you a celebratory hotdog!!

I guess it's easier to ban dogs than enforce leash and scooping laws? This is how it all starts... first banning dogs, then BSL, then the HSUS and Peta will be picketing the ownership of companion dogs...
What ever happened to Man's Best Friend?

Corn-Dog!

so, like I promised... I finally got Ma off her blog long enough to help me download the evidence of the over ruling , er I mean snapshots of our fun adventure to the corn maze! Yeah, that's it!! BOL

We went back to Etsch Farms for the Loreal Dogtoberfest.
They have a corn maze set up and we were gonna walk it, but Da procrastinated all day and we didnt have time once we got there. Like last year,the awesome BBQ dude, Rodger's Real Barbeque was there, but he ran out of sweet potato pies! Ma was bummed, but we ordered ribs (YIPPEE!! Bones for me n Blue), corn bread, baked beans... the works. And then, Da saw it... the cart.

(Insert heavenly music here)


We were starving (Did I mention Ma and I went on some marathon walk in the morning and I was already pooped??) and drove 45 min for take out! More like fake-out if you ask me! SO anyway, back to the hot dogs...
We walked up and the guy had 3 left (I know you read this already, but it is so great how Ma did this...)
One for each of us, Da orders one w/ chili/cheese and one w/ onions. Ma says whoa, June needs a plain one. Da says we dont even need the bun, it's for her (meaning me, the princess) It had already happened... Da completely must have forgotten his dumb rule :-) SO they deliberate over who gets the one w/ onions and sit down to share them while a patiently waited for mine to cool...

I was drooling... Ma broke off little pieces so I could savor them.
Um, not so much savoring Ma, more like inhaling! Anyway about half way through Da remembers the rule TOO LATE! I got my hot dog! I helped clean his fingers from the gooey chili cheese and we went on or merry way back home...

but not without me chasing after the Hot dog Cart... wait mr. hot dog man.... there's no extras?


So now supposedly I gotta wait til like March or something. I think Da's a little extreme... what do you think?

ciao.

OMG OMG OMG!

Guys... I'll post a longer post in a bit complete with pictures, but I am so excited, I have to share.......
Yesterday, Ma became the coolest ma ever. I mean, she already is cool, but what she did...OMG

We went out. Drove 45 minutes to a corn maze and there was a hot dog cart. See where this is going?
So we walk over 'cause the maze was closing and Da was starving & the guy says I have 3 left so Ma says, perfect! One for each of us. Da goes and orders 2 for himself and Ma says whoa, one... We need the last with no toppings and no bun. (FOR ME!)
SHE OVER RULED HIS "NO HOT DOGS TIL 2011" rule. It was amazing, so fast and so matter of fact, he didnt even have time to dispute it and there I was eating a dirty water dog bite by bite while Da was steaming over getting hood-winked!

Ma's gotta download the pictures and you'll get the deets in a bit.

ciao for now.
