Happy 4th Of July!

Hi everybody! Happy July 4th! I am also celebrating my latest blood test results. 46 PCV and 268k platelets. Woohoo! The doc said I am doing great and I am to go back to see her in two months. Since I got such good results, Mommie and her pals took me on a trip. We drove down the coast. It was so pretty.

We stopped to spend some time at the beach. I loved watching the kids. Wonder how they are able to play in that cold water.

Also on this trip, I succeeded in my quest to find just the right bench. We found a bunch of them until I finally saw this one that was just the right size. You can click on the picture to make it bigger.

This is the best garden ever. It has this awesome flower bed. And it has a window with a waterfall so it looks like it is raining. It's like a outdoor bedroom complete with a side table, alarm clock and set of drawers.

There is even a chair near the bed. And everything is covered with flowers. Click on the thumbnail for a better look!

Here I am in a cactus garden. I feel so tall on my perch.

They have HUGE cacti here!

I made a wish at this wishing well. I hope it comes true.

I really liked this little house.

I even tried to figure out how it worked. The wheel kept turning and there was water flowing through. Neat-o!

There were other houses there too and they were covered with flowers.

Another thing I like about being out and about is getting to dine out. I get to sit at the table like the humans. Teehee! People at other tables smile at me and at dinner a bunch of kids came over to give me pats and talk to me. Sometimes, I sleep on my seat so Mommie thinks no one can see me but somehow they still do and come to say hello.

This one place we ate at even had this outdoor fireplace. So cool! The floor is curved so it looks like I am floating.

This is the cutest carwash I've ever seen!

While we were driving along the coast, we saw these elephant seals. They were sunbathing and did not move much.

But we were able to get this video of one of them moving.

We also stopped by a winery on the way home. It looks like a castle! There were tons of people there.

This castle even has a moat!

And tons of American Flags. So apt for July 4th!


There was a wedding so no one was allowed to go in through the front door. A lady from the winery showed us an alternative entrace to get to the tasting room. I got lots of pats from the people there while they were tasting stuff. Mommie does not drink wine so she just walked around the room with me.

I also posed by some of the grapevines. Mommie did not want me to sit too close coz there were lots of foxtails there. She said those were dangerous plants so I should not go near them.

On the ride home, I was so sleepy but I could not help smiling coz I was so happy to go on such a great trip.

Here are a few pics of me with another Eskie doll that Mommie made.

Eskies Rescued From Washington Puppy Mill

Hundreds of American Eskimo dogs were rescued from a puppy mill in Kennewick, Washington a few days ago. It's so sad to see the video and pictures of the doggies. They were kept in small cages and some were even housed in shopping carts or wooden crates. My poor Eskie cousins! I hope now that they have been rescued, that they will be able to find good homes. Seattle and Oregon animal shelters are taking in some of the dogs and providing medical care and will adopt them out when they are ready. The American Eskimo Dog Association of Washington (AEDAW) and Heart Bandits are also helping take in some of the rescued Eskies. If you want to help, you can contact them to see how to donate or adopt the Eskies.

Meisha's Hope

Miss Joanne, Maddie and her friends had a garage sale to raise money for the Meisha's Hope Fund this weekend. They were able to raise $3000. Awesome! Meisha's Hope was started by Miss Joanne after their doggie Meisha died. I posted about Meisha's Hope before coz Mommie is also helping them raise funds to find a cure coz this is one of the diseases I have. We sent them a bunch of these buttons so they can give them away at the garage sale to help raise awareness. And Mommie sent Maddie a mini version so she can also have a button to wear. Miss Joanne said Maddie wears it on her collar.

They created a Faces of Canine AIHA/IMHA Board to display at the garage sale. My picture is there right beside Meisha. They said the board was a huge hit. People spent so much time looking at it and they were able to inform lots of people about AIHA/IMHA. You can click on the picture to make it bigger.

Also grandma is coming from Manila this weekend. I am so excited!

Boxing Match

We watched the Manny Pacquiao vs. Ricky Hatton boxing match at Mommie's friends' house on Saturday. They are super nice. They always let me come to their house for get-togethers and even their Grandmas and Granpa pet me and talk to me. Josh is super cute. Mommie gave him a treat to feed me and he was so happy when I took it from his hand. Too bad that was the last treat Mommie had in her bag. Next time she'll bring more. It was his birthday last week so we brought him a gift. They used to have 2 Labrador Retrievers. One yellow and one black. I went to the spot where they usually slept and sniffed to find them but Mommie said they have both gone to the rainbow bridge already. Sniff! Now there is no doggie for me to follow around the house. They had tons of other visitors there. It can get quite scary though with all the kids. I love kids but sometimes they get too excited and will have me cornered and they all try to pat me or hug me at once. When that happens, Mommie rescues me by picking me up and letting me sit on her lap. That way they can pet me one at a time. Good thing the match ended quickly coz I get scared when they all start shouting at the TV. Mommie tries her best to calm me down but I want to run away when they start shouting. Manny won so they were all happy and giving high-fives all around. I was happy too coz that meant the shouting was over. Haha! The last time we watched a boxing match was at a different place. There were no kids around so I did not spend any time on Mommie's lap so I had more time to investigate all the rooms. But as soon as the match started, everyone also started shouting at the TV so I tried to run upstairs to the kitchen to escape. I've noticed they don't shout as much during Superbowl games.

Latest Adventure

Oh boy! Freedom at last. The dreaded danger period is over so Mommie is now more confident about taking me out on adventures. Finally, I get to go out. And what better way to celebrate my freedom than to go on a driving tour down the Central Coast. They packed my bag and off we went. I was so excited. I love riding in the car and checking out the scenery. Mommie got me a seatbelt so I would be safe during the drive.

It was quite a long drive. I kept looking out the window to see if we were at our destination. After hours of driving, our first stop was in downtown San Luis Obispo. Here I am at the Bubblegum Alley admiring the colorful gum on the walls. There were lots of people checking it out. And everyone's first reaction was curiosity followed by a big Ewww! Haha!!!

Actually it was kind of icky if you looked at it close up. Hehe! Mommie and her friends put their contribution on the walls also. I did not make a contribution coz I do not know how to chew gum and if I did handle any gum, it would probably stick to my fur.

They took me to a doggie boutique called Tails. The shopkeepers there were so nice and let me taste some of their chicken jerky. It was super yummy and I kept asking for more. There I met some plush friends among the dog beds.

I also checked out their doggie treats. Everything looked so yummy. There were so many it was hard to pick.

I bought a little green doggie bowl. I was a tad short so I could hardly reach the counter but I tried my best to peek so I could make sure they were packing the bowl I wanted. Auntie Kari gave me some pocket money so I was able to pay for it myself. Thanks Auntie Kari and Uncle Steve! They also gave me a doggie bowl years ago with little goldfish on them. We always bring it with us coz I use it for water when we are out of the house. Now I have a bowl for food as well. Goodie!

We had a meal at the Splash Cafe which was just a few minutes away from downtown. Here I am saving a table for us.

Next up, we stopped at the Madonna Inn which we saw on the freeway. Mommie remembered it from TV so we thought it would be something to check out. It was pretty outside so we took a few photos with their flowers and fountain. Inside they have some neat decor. It was like a cave with lights and stuff. Mommie's friend said the boy's bathroom was neat-o. They had a sensor that turned on a waterfall when you peed.

That fountain water looks mighty tasty. Slurp! Or maybe I can take a dip? There was a lady there trying hard to take pictures of her daughter and she was amazed to see me happily posing for pictures.

After more driving, we got to Solvang. It was so pretty there. There were lots of vineyards along the way with rows and rows of grape vines.

Solvang is a quaint little Danish village. They even had windmills. I think I saw 4 of them around town. The stores and restaurants looked like they were from a fairy tale book. So cute!

Here is where we stayed. We had the lower unit so I could go to the bathroom real quick. That tree in front was my bathroom. Very convenient to get to.

We took pictures of the flowers there too. They were so pretty. They even had these giant sized roses. Some roses were almost as big as my head!



It was a long day of riding in the car, so I was so happy to get to bed. Even though I was just riding in the car and sleeping most of the day, I was pooped from all the excitement of the day. Tomorrow we'd check out what else was in town.

In the morning, we had breakfast at The Little Mermaid. They have these pancake balls called Aebleskivers. They were mighty tasty. Mommie made some before using the Pancake Puff pan she bought on the As Seen On TV store so she really wanted to try these. But these were really big balls of cake. Mommie's came out kind ufo-looking. Haha!

Here are some pictures we took around town. It was a very small town and you could pretty much walk and get anywhere in 5-10 minutes but we still took the car around so I would not have to exert any effort. It was great fun for me coz I love riding in the car and getting off to sniff around a new block.

I got to rest on these benches they had all over.

I really liked this little swing on this store's Welcome sign.

And I loved riding this giant shoe! I think they call them clogs.

The hotel even gave us free wine tasting passes for a tasting room across the street. We rested a bit at the hotel before going over. Everyone else tasted the wine, but I got to taste some yummy crackers in the tasting room. The tasting room had a TV that showed they had black and brown Labrador Retrievers at their winery but the winery was at a different location.

Beside the wine tasting room was a doggie store called Unique Bowtique. So we went to check it out. Mommie made me try these sunglasses. I did not like them at all. But a good find were these Chewgars. I bought one with my pocket money and am donating it to Gypsy's auction.

And one of my favorite sightings were these huge horsies called Belgian draft horses. I love watching horses on TV so I was all excited to see them live. When we first spotted them, they were walking around pulling a streetcar called a Honen. I tried to run after them but I was not fast enough. Then Mommie's friend found out where they parked and I got to go see them up close. That was so cool!


We also passed by the Anderson's Split Pea Soup place before going to the Ostrich Land. The Ostrich eggs were huge! We got one so we could try how it tastes at home. The lady there said one egg is like 25 chicken eggs. And that we were gonna need a drill to open it. She had a paper with instructions on how to open it.

This ostrich was mounted on her wall. It was pretty scary looking. I was too short to get a picture taken with it.

They charged to go see or feed the ostriches so we decided to pass on that and just take some pictures of them from afar. You can click on the image to make it bigger. They have 50 ostriches in the farm and a few emus.

After that, we continued driving down to Santa Barbara. I slept on the way but woke up as soon as we got there. We drove to Stearn's Wharf. Mommie let me out of the seatbelt while we were on the wharf so I could look out the window.

It had been a long day and I could not walk anymore, so I rode my stroller around the pier. We had a snack there and watched the birds and tall ships. They fired a canon to welcome the tall ships which startled me. But the people there enjoyed it and wanted to take pictures with the canon and the pirate who lit it. We drove around State Street and had dinner at one of the restaurants there. I was so sleepy and just fell asleep in my chair. I curled up into a ball and Mommie said I looked like those fake sleeping dogs they sell at the mall. Different waiters came out to pet me and ask about me but I was just too sleepy. They even had to carry me to the car after that.

The next day, I spent the morning just hanging out at the hotel hot tub area. We just relaxed and I just lounged around and got my picture taken.


The spa looked like a perfect sized swimming pool for me.

I did not have the energy to walk around anymore so they found out another way to take me around, they took me for a bike ride. That way I could still go around but not have to walk. It was really fun. Mommie tied my leash around the front of the bike so I would not fall off the bike. It worked out pretty well. We rode the boulevard almost from end to end. There were lots of other people on bikes and lots of joggers, too.

It was a fun and relaxing way to check out the waterfront.

I even saw squirrels during my bike ride! There were so many crossing the path. After that, we just had lunch and decided to go home.

Here is a picture of some of the mountains we saw on the drive home. So beautiful! I had such a great time. I saw and sniffed so many new things. I wish I could be out on the road all the time. Although I did miss Jasper so I sought him out as soon as we got home. I dragged him around the living room coz I wanted him near me.

Also, when we got home, I had another surprise. Auntie Joanne and Maddie sent me some Bronwyn's Biscuits. There are super delicious and like us, they also help raise funds for IMHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia, one of the diseases I have) research so they are doubly good.

And even more happy news. We found out that Gypsy was able to go home on Sunday. Hooray! She is recuperating at home and her brother Max is so happy to see her again. Thanks for all your well wishes for Gypsy.

Let's Help Gypsy

This is my pal Gypsy. She is currently at the hospital. She was diagnosed with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). It's kind of like what I have where the platelets keep dropping and she bleeds spontaneously. Her Mommie and Daddy are doing all they can for her. We are holding an auction for her to help her parents with the vet bills. You can click on her picture to go to the website.


Mommie says to help raise funds to help out Gypsy's Mommie and Daddy with her medical bills so I was eager to do my part. Mommie had an idea to make a homemade Eskie doll. All I needed to do was donate my fur for the stuffing. That way it was a real personal item.


It was quite tiring being brushed so much but we were able to gather enough fur for one small doll. I don't have much of an undercoat left so I am not shedding that much. Mommie thinks it is ironic coz she used to get bags of fur from me and now that she has a use for it, there is not that much.


I don't think I have any more to shed right now. Maybe in a few more days.


Here is the dollie she made. It's not perfect but this is her first attempt at sewing one. It is up for bid on Gypsy's auction site. Mommie also donated other items to help out. You can contact her or any of the other volunteers if you want to help Gypsy.


I haven't been on adventures lately coz it is still that time of the year where I got sick and also relapsed so Mommie is way paranoid about me going out coz we do not know what can trigger another relapse. So we are just playing indoors. Sigh! I am so bored.

Anyway, my old plastic water bowl was all scratched up and dirty. The water left white blotches in it and Mommie could not get rid of it so she got me this brightly colored coffee cup. I think it's way neat!

Now if only she would put real coffee in here.

Like A Turtle

Last night I was sleeping soundly and again rolled over to the edge of the bed. But this time I was caught by the wooden frame at the foot of the bed so I did not land on the floor. That was good but then I was stuck between the mattress and the bed frame. I woke up to find I was stuck there on on my back and I struggled to turn over so I could get up but I couldn't. Mommie woke up when she heard me struggling. She rolled me over and saw my gums were pale. But my color came back after a few minutes. Whew! I was so stressed coz I tried real hard but I could not get up on my own. Mommie said I am like a turtle coz sometimes when I am on my back I cannot get up and she has to roll me over. Usually she laughs when this happens but last night it was not funny at all.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I have the luck of the Irish for sure. Coz what did I get? More prezzies! Oh boy, I can't wait to see what's in here. My good pal Cappy and Oliver sent it to me as a belated barkday present.

I think I know what it is. It looks familiar!

Aha! I bet it is a Garfield doll. I'd recognize those orange and black markings anywhere.

Wheee! I love it! It's perfect coz Mommie had to throw out my old one coz it got too dirty so now I have a Garfield doll again.


They even sent me a barkday card. Thanks Cappy and Oliver!

And look what I have here. Even more belated barkday prezzies. This one is from Uncle Josh, Cherokee and Kody. Isn't he cute? Look at that face. Teehee! I love carrying him around.

Thanks Uncle Josh, Cherokee and Kody. What great pals you are! I love my squid and green toy. It is perfect for St. Patrick's day! They also sent me a card. It says these are some manly gifts for me. Yup I am a man now coz I am 7 years old. Teehee!

I love licking my new toys.

They are so soft.

Don't worry squidee. I will get to you soon enough. He has squeakers in his head and all of his tentacles. Plus there is also a rattle in his head and some crunchy stuff. So awesome!

I'm 7 Years Old Today!

Oh boy! It's my barkday! I am seven years old today. My good pal Jasmine sent me a barkday package a few days ago. I could not wait so I opened it up right away.

Hmmm...Wonder what's in here.

Ooooh. There's lots of stuff under the packing peanuts.

Wow! A barkday cupcake toy! Check it out. It says Birthday Boy and has little bones on it. I love it!

And a pack of sweet potato fries. Yummmie!!!

Thanks Jasmine! I love everything. You and your Mommie are the best!

Then yesterday Uncle took me to the mall. At first we planned to go on my actual barkday but the forecast said it would rain so we went yesterday. True enough today has been all cloudy and rainy so I am staying home. He got me a doggie cupcake from Sprinkles. It was soooooo yummmy!! Here I am posing outside with my treat. I got lots of pats and smiles at the mall. Uncle took me into some shops and checked out some watches. I stood up on my hind feet so I could take a peek at the display window to see. I think it is better to shop for treats though.

The pupcake was delicious. I did not get to finish the whole thing though. Mommie said only a little at a time to be safe.

Today, I woke up real early coz I was excited about my barkday. I knew there would be more goodies coz Mommie was busy baking last night. I just know it was for me. Then she put all my barkday goodies on the table for a pictorial so I could not play with my new toys. So I just kept running around with this barkday cake stuffie. I got this at my barkday party last year and Jasmine got me a mini version for this year. I love them both!

Soon Mommie was done with her preparations and I posed with my barkday loot. Wowie all the stuff from Jasmine and the necklace from Hana and a barkday cake and a barkday balloon. Mommie even had a barkday hat for me. We took a picture with the candle from Jasmine.

Then another pic with the number 7 candle. We're gonna save the other for next year coz I can't use my number candle next year anymore. Hehe!

And finally, it was time to eat cake. Yummie! Mommie used peanut butter and carrots. So delicious. Wish I could finish the entire thing.

But I did lick off most of the icing.

Before taking a bite out of the cake. After eating some cake, I proceeded to pop my balloon. It was so much fun but Mommie said I popped it too fast so she was not able to get a picture.

Here is the recipe for my barkday cake. Mommie only baked half of this recipe this time coz I was the only one going to eat it.
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup shredded carrots
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup honey
1 egg

Mix together flour and baking soda. Add everything else and mix well. Put non-stick spray on a baking pan and pour the cake batter in. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when you poke the cake in the middle.

You can puree low fat cottage cheese to use for icing. Or even yogurt or cream cheese. Carrot pieces or dog candy sprinkles can be used to decorate it, too.

Rude Awakening

I was sleeping soundly yesterday morning when all of a sudden I was jarred awake and found myself on the floor. I was so shocked. Mommie awoke when she heard a loud thump which was me landing on the floor. Ouch! She jumped up and checked me at once. My gums were so pale they were almost white. She said I probably rolled over in my sleep and fell off the bed. Sniff! I usually wake Mommie up so she can carry me off the bed because it is quite high. It took a few minutes for my gummies to get back to normal. Mommie was ready to take me to the doc if it did not. So I did not get to play all day and Mommie carried me up and down the stairs to make sure I did not relapse. Last night, I did not want to sleep up on the bed because I was afraid I would fall again so I spent the night on my doggie bed on the floor. I miss cuddling with Mommie though so maybe tonight I will feel up to sleeping on the human bed again. I've fallen off the bed before but that bed was not as high and the way I rolled over, I landed on all four feet. Mommie said I should not keep staying on the edge of the bed. But I like it there. I love dangling my feet and toys over the side. Teehee!

Casper Visits Hana For Valentine's

DING DONG! I came to visit Hana for a Valentine's date. I saw her on her perch at the window and she barked as soon as she saw me. Here she is zipping to the front door to greet me.

She even had some toys out for me to play with. What a great hostess.

Here we are at the dining table. I went out and bought Hana a bunch of treats for her barkday/Valentine's. They are heart shaped apple treats. And Hana baked some pumpkin treats for me.

They smelled really good.

Hana's Mommie made me a custom ribbon necklace. Here I am getting measured.

Hana was there to supervise every step of the way.

This is the part where I get the garter trimmed to my exact size.

While they were working on it. I decided to help but it turned out it was more fun to munch on the ribbons.

Yummm!!!

Eventually we decided to make it green in time for St. Patrick's Day and since my barkday is in March.

Here we are patiently waiting and watching ...

And soon I was outfitted with my very own ribbons!

We decided to pose some more at the table and earned lots of treats from the pawparazzi.

Oh boy! Snow!

They had a great surprise for me this weekend. I was all excited coz I saw Mommie packing my bag. That usually means I am in for an adventure. So we got in the car and drove off. After the first hour, I fell asleep coz we had not gotten there yet. I was still wondering where we were headed but was too sleepy to keep looking out the window. Finally, we arrived and when I got out of the car, my feet landed on SNOW. Wowwwweeee!!!! We were in Lake Tahoe. I was so happy! We got into the hotel and I was all excited sniffing around and investigating the place. The hotel was ready for me. They had a blanket, a bowl and treats for me. But Mommie brought me my own bowl and blanket coz she said it would be safer for me. I did get to eat the treats though. Hehe!

Lookit my big vacation bed! I am still shedding like crazy so Mommie brought my blanket from home for me to lay on. I was all excited to start playing in the snow but Mommie said it was time for bed. It was a long drive to get here so she said we would play in the morning.


The next day, I was up bright and early but everyone was still snoozing. I kept trying to wake Mommie up but she said it was too early. So I waited impatiently. Finally, everyone was up but I had to wait for everyone to get dressed and to go get breakfast. It is better to be a doggie. I was ready to go out instantly coz I had my built in sweater. Teehee! Outside the room, the had these neat-o chairs in the hallway. You could sit on these and watch the snow outside.


There was a golf course outside and it was all filled with snow so that is where we played. Here are some action shots of me having a great time in the snow.




I love munching on snow. Here is a video of me eating away at my snowball.

I also had loads of fun riding this snow saucer. Mommie's friend brought it over a week ago and I rode on it immediately. It was fun and they pushed me around the living room in the saucer. Now I know what it is really for. Teehee! Mommie also rode with me for a bit. It was good we had it coz I got tired really quick from playing so I rested in the saucer while they pulled me so that they could keep walking in the snow.

Soon we found a great spot to make a snowman. So while I rested, they went to work. Mommie thought it would be a good idea to make a snow Eskie. I was real curious about it coz it kind of looked like me.

Then I decided to pose like it.

Here's a picture of the snowmen with the snow Eskie.

Murphy and his Mom came over to admire our handiwork. I played with Murphy for a bit and he pulled me in my saucer for a while. He also rode the saucer down a slope a few times. It looked like fun but Mommie said I might fall out. We decided to head back shortly after that also coz it was getting really cold and I was too tired already. So back we went so I could take a long nap.

After that, we went in search of dinner. There was a small doggie store beside the grocery so Mommie took me there. She got me some treats and was paying for it when she noticed that I had picked my own treat from the display. She checked it out and said it looked ok for me to have so she bought it for me. Wheee!!! This is such a great vacation!!! I get to spend all day with Mommie and play in the snow and get treats, too!!!

The next day was bit of a downer though. I was too tired still from the previous day's activities so even though I wanted to play, I did not have the energy. I did not even have energy to enjoy riding the saucer anymore. Then I saw a doggie and wanted to say hello so badly. I gave a holler to call the doggie over. Mommie said the sound I made sounded so sad. He was running after a ball that his owner threw. Then we found out that he was the doggie of the person in charge of cleaning the rooms in the hotel. Mommie let me say hello to him through the window. And Mommie's friend went in to ask if the doggie passed my health checklist to see if I can say hello directly but he said the dog growled at him. Yikes! So we scrapped that idea. And then came the runs. Sigh! Mommie thinks it may have been all the snow I ate or perhaps the treat I picked out. So they had to wash my butt before leaving coz it was a mess. We decided to head home earlier than planned coz I was too tired and had the runs. I guess it was too much excitement for me. But I am still so happy we got to go. I love the snow! I slept the entire drive home dreaming of my adventures. Today, I am still having the runs so I am to rest the whole day. Phooey! I hope it clears up soon so I can ride my saucer again in the living room and pretend I am in Tahoe. Teehee!

Chase, Circus Dogs & Yummy Treats

Check out this cute circus dog all dressed up in a suit! This picture is just so funny. I wonder if Mommie will get me a suit like this. Teehee! You can click on the picture to see the video of the circus dogs performing. They do all sorts of neat tricks! It is lots of fun to watch. Mommie and I have watched it lots of times. I hope she is not thinking of making me learn all those tricks to earn my treats. Yikes!

Speaking of treats, I got a package in the mail from Kari, Steve, Gypsy and family. Yummy oatmeal and apple treats! Thank you thank you!!! Here are some pictures of me with my new favorite snack. I love 'em! I even did a paw wave to entice Mommie to give me more.

And last but not the least, I would like to let you guys know that a fundraising auction is being held for Chase the Eskie. He needs to get surgery for both his hind legs because of Medial Patellar Luxation. It is pretty painful so poor Chase needs to get this fixed. Please support Chase's auction. Mommie and I donated a few items to help out. Here is Chase. Isn't he cute?

Doggie Digs

Check out these awesome doggie houses. We saw these pictures on craigslist and an Eskie was modelling one of the houses.

Wow! Imagine having a doggie house like this. It is so pretty.

But then I would rather stay in the real house with Mommie even if these doggie digs look better.


This one even has a pool! Well, maybe if Mommie wins the lottery she can get me one of these. Teehee!

Stanford, Hana And Eskies Galore!

I took Hana on a date today at Stanford Mall. Our Mommies were there of course to chaperone us. We had lunch at the California Pizza Kitchen. Hana and I were seated in our chairs and saw lots of doggies walking by. Hana's Mommie baked some peanut butter pumpkin cookies for us. Yummmmyyyy!!! After lunch we went around the shops and sat around checking out people walking by. There were tons of doggies there, too. And we even saw 6 Eskies! Wow!!! The first 3 we saw near where we had lunch. And the other three right before we went home. What a small world. They were Eskies from the Peskipix yahoo group. Cool huh? But I was not able to say hello up close to any of the doggies. I had to be content to say hello from afar because of my health limitations but still it was quite exciting to see so many Eskies in the area. And a few people who came to pet us also said they had American Eskimo dogs at home. Here is a picture of us on a bench in front of Macy's. Hana's Mommie took more pix so be sure to check out her blog.
