Is 8 enough?

We did X-ray’s today and Dr. Robin and I counted 8 puppy skulls easily.  They were having trouble burning the disc for me so she will email the X-ray and I’ll post it tomorrow and we will see how many you see.

Mr Grumpy

Dear Daddy,

I hope you are having fun with Auntie Leslie and Miss Candy. 

Auntie Lindy and Uncle Henry want you to come home to play with me since they say I’m wearing them out.   I’m trying to be a good puppy so today I made a new friend.

Yes, I’m now buddies with Mr. Grumpy Stoney.  We had so much fun playing in the yard, I chased him around the yard and thru the agility tunnel and then we played in the house until momma made me go to bed.  I’m glad to have a new friend to play with.

Always happy to have more friends to chew on!

Austin Trip

For those who don’t know me personally I work for State Farm in the auto claims department.  I’m proud of the work I do and have worked there going on 21 years.  It is a great company to work for especially in today’s world.

Last year I was nominated and became a finalist for the Silver Spur award in the category for outstanding Customer Service.  It is a big deal and they have a Gala event for the finalist and then award a yearly award.  This year there were 16 finalist.  I didn’t win the big prize the winner had such a great story and track record that I was happy just to be nominated (just like the Oscars).

This year’s Gala was in Austin Texas held at the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort and Spa, it was a lovely hotel with a fabulous staff, lovely rooms and great food.  A wonderful event.

The spa was really nice, I went and got my hair cut before the big shindig

I took my mom as my guest and Saturday and Sunday we spent time with my brother who lives in Austin.

We had a nice time hanging out, we went to the Hula Hut on Lake Austin for lunch, we took a field trip to Whole Foods, the Disneyland for Foodies, and then had brunch prior to leaving at an Austin hangout Kirby Lane.  It was a nice visit. 

I was glad to get home to the dogs, I really don’t like traveling with out them.   Thank goodness I have great friends that help out and allow me to be able to take these trips. 

This is the last one for awhile since Lindy babies are just around the corner.

Dear PJ

Dear PJ,

Would you please come home.  Your kid is driving us nuts and we need an extra pair of teeth and feet to deal with her.

Sincerely,

Lindy and Henry

The Frost Report

frost-stacked-0241

 

Lots of stuff going on with me:

1 Mom says I weigh almost 13 pounds.

2.  I learned to jump on the sofa which Mom says isn’t good because I can’t jump off and she is always making me get down.

3.  Wicca isn’t as scary as I thought, still scary but fun to chase.

4. Daddy isn’t here but uncle Henry is lots of fun.

5. Lindy will still play with me but she doesn’t want to play much cause she is so fat.

6. I went up and down mini dog walk in the back yard all by myself, I thought it was cool so I did it again.

7. I learned the kitchen is cool, there is food there.

8.  In the kitchen we get to lick plates sometimes and that is really neat.

9.  I got a new crate to sleep in last night cause I out grew my baby crate.

10. I got to help chase a rat, Wicca found it and we all chased her when she chased it, very cool, Mom screamed.

I’m sure I’ll have more to report soon.

Stay cool,

Frost

Cardi Blogger’s weight loss Challenge

Ok folks I’m subbing for Laura on the WLC, just 8 weeks plus some days until people are leaving for the nationals, hope everyone is still plugging along on their WLC.  I’m down 2lbs from last week for a total of 72lbs down.  How is everyone else doing?

Missing the Nationals

As much as I want to go to the CWCCA Nationals this year and as much as I had planned to go it doesn’t look like I’m going to make it afterall.  Lindy’s litter is due around the 1st of March which would make the babies 5 1/2 weeks old.   I’m not set up to travel with a litter and that is a dangerous time of exposure for the puppies.  So this year I’m going to be a grown up and stay home. 

I’m going to miss all my friends and meeting my blogger buddies in person and seeing all the wonderful Cardigans.  I’m sad to miss Marian doing the sweeps. 

Kathy and I are working out arrangements for PJ so at least part of the Solstice gang will be there.  

I guess we will be trying for PA in 2010 since we will have Frost and hopefully pretty Lindy and Candy babies to show in sweeps.

So I will expect many many many updates from the nationals from those who will be there.

Southern Fried PJ

PJ has arrived safely in Alabama.  He is spending a couple of weeks with his Auntie Leslie and hopefully will leave some of himself down there.
