WWRLTE, Part 2

It's fireworks night tonight in honor of Labour day (yeah, I used a British spelling for an American holiday. Sue me.).  I do not like fireworks. They are loud and scary. Now, you know what you need to ask yourself whenever I'm sad, worried or scared: WWRLTE?

Now, let's have a quick review of what some of the things that you should keep on hand are, so that when you ask me that question, you can fulfill my demands. There are not in any particular order, btw.:)

#1 MILKBONES!!!!!!!! The classic dog biscuit. Need I say more?

#2 Bread Products Yummmm. Carbs.....

#3 BEEF!!!! Actually, any kind of MEAT (as Roo once put it:)) would work.

#4 Cheese (especially when I'm not feeling so great;))

These are, of course, the mere basics. If you start with these, however, you'll be well on your way to satisfying all of my needs.:)

Actually, keeping some snow handy would be a nice touch, too. Summer is MUCH too long.

Now, get thee hence and stock thine cupboard.

Wags,

Rosie

BLTs

The humans had BLTs for dinner. This disgruntled me, because I can't eat any kind of pork product, as my faithful readers will know. In fact, I protest the slaughter of my brothers and sisters the pigs with a song: "The pigs are our brothers, we should not eat them."

Therefore, I came up with a new kind of BLT- Beef and Liver on Toast. YUMMMY!!!!!!!!!!! Now, I just need to get those delinquent humans to actually make it for me. GET CRACKING, MINIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe if I look super- pathetic, they'll make me a BLT!

Wags and kisses,

Rosie

The Greatest Heist that Ever Failed

So, this post is either about my attempt at taking one of the two objects that are featured in the two pictures below. 

Any guesses which one?

Crunch and Cleans and...

Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems (a form of calculus one believes).

Come on! Any guesses?

Hint: It's not the calculus book.


So, here's what happened.

Kanga went grocery shopping today at the new grocery store near us. Well, it's actually not new new- it had been another grocery store but they got sold to a different store which shut the place down for a while and renovated it, and now it's just reopened. Confused yet? Not that the history of the store has much anything to do with the post. Anyway, at the store, Kanga bought me some crunch and cleans and I love those biscuits!!!!! I haven't had them in a long time.

Tigger gave me one and a half right before the family ate dinner and then left the box on the island in the kitchen. I saw them and a plan formed in my extremely large and intelligent brain. (By the way, I am also incredibly humble!) As the family was eating dinner, I pounced on the box pulled it off the island and began to snarf down the biscuits.


I forgot to take one thing into account though when formulating my plans. The box didn't hit the floor silently and Tigger guessed immediately what was going on and lept up and cruelly snatched the box away from me and put the biscuits away. It was very sad- there I was with an entire box of crunch and cleans within my paws, literally, and tit was taken away from me.

I would like to point out though, that the humans have only themselves to blame for my attempt at taking the biscuits. If they bought me crunch and cleans more often, and if Tigger had given me more before dinner than I would not have felt as compelled to help my self. Also just this morning Kanga remarked that it must be very sad to always have to wait for someone to bring you food (it is), so I was being a self-motivated dog and helping myself.

The story does have a happy ending. (I know you were all on the edge of your seats waiting to hear that!)Tigger gave me some C&Cs when taking the pictures for this post.

WWFN,

Rosie the Wonderfulest Dog That Ever There Was

Posing with the box. Do you know how much self control it took to not just dive right in?

Tigger does this thing with me where she puts a treat on my paw and won't let me eat it until she says I may.

I have to look away so as not to give into temptation.

At last! The treat is mine!!!!!

Grams' Birthday Party

We had Grams over for a lovely Birthday dinner tonight. I got lots of Grams love!!! It made me very happy.  I gave her an extra special birthday snuggle.  The humans had a lovely dinner and cake. Here are some pictures!

Before the cake was cut.  Tiggy baked the cake and Roo decorated it. 

There were almonds between the layers

Giving Grams a birthday snuggle!

More birthday snuggles!

Thanks for spending your birthday with me, Grams!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you lots!!!!!!! Happy Birthday, and many more of them!!!!!!!
Love,
Rosie:):):)

Summertime and the living's easy

The family ate dinner outside the other night. I am quite fond of this situation- I'm outdoors and I get to be near food. What's not to love?

Kanga has some lovely pots of flowers.

Me, looking out across the yard towards the road.

"Hmmm. What's on the table?"

Sigh. Nothing for me to take and eat.

WWFN,
Rosie

I wonder how I can get treats out of this?

Well, peeps sorry for sort of vanishing for a couple of days. My ear was bothering me alot so I didn't feel like blogging. I went to the vet this morning and I got some medicine to clear up the little yeast buggies that are inhabiting my ears. Normally I like medicine because I get to take in cheese blocks, but this stuff gets squirted into my ears, no cheese blocks required. Any of my fellow canines got any ideas on how to get the humans to give me cheese blocks with this medicine?

I mean, really? Who wouldn't give treats to a dog like this?

Love,

Rosie

PIZZA BONES!!

Tonight, the family had pizza for dinner.  I love pizza night, because they always give me the "pizza bones". Well, except that occasionally one of them, usually Owl or Roo, forgets to give them to me. Bad humans. Luckily for them, they were very good and gave me plenty tonight. I just love pizza bones.

Me chewing on a Nylabone. It's not as tasty as a pizza bone, but it lasts longer. :)

Pooh and Dr. Celery come in 8 days!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XOXOXOXOXO!

WWFN!

Love,

Rosie

ROBINS EGGS FACEOFF

Malted milk eggs are a favorite Easter candy here.But 2 manufacturer's make them.We were forced to check it out.These are the mini eggs.The one on the left is made by The New England Confectionery Co.(the makers of Necco wafers)
On the right the more local Hershey brand Whoppers.

These are the larger eggs.If you look closely you will see that the Whopper eggs have chocolate.Obviously Rosie votes for the Might malts since dogs can't have chocolate.

Looking sad because no one gave her ANY candy,Don't feel too sorry.She has had lots of real Easter eggs

Why the much too early blooming azaleas pictured here?Because they are Hershey Red azaleas.Get it?

A final picture of the very hot Rosie. It is really hot today and Rosie is not appreciating it!

WWFN,ROSIE

Today!

This morning, Roo got up and went across the street to her babysitting job.  I was disconsolate, and woofed until Owl came downstairs and fed me.  Owl went upstairs, and a few minutes later Roo returned.  She was loving on me, when the Tigs came downstairs, and said, Oh! Poor Rosie! You haven't eaten or gone out yet! Roo, why don't you take Rosie out, and I'll work on her breakfast.
Roo took me out, and we came back in as Tigs was putting the finishing touches on my breakfast.  Just as she was about to give it to me, Owl came down again, and said that he had already fed me.  Tiggy wasn't going to waste the food, so she gave me a 2nd breakfast! It was very exciting. :)

The humans had church this morning, and will head back again this evening.  I'll miss them.

Receive me today, O Son of God, as a partaker of Your Mystical Supper.  I will not reveal Your mysteries unto Your adversaries, nor will I give You the kiss as did Judas, but as did the thief will I confess you, "Remember me, O Lord, when you enter into your Kingdom."

WWRLTE?

WWRTLE: What Would Rosie Like To Eat? is one of the most important questions you can ask yourself.  It should be asked at least twice a day- morning and evening for my breakfast and dinner.
  Here are some more suggestions for when to ask it:

When I'm injured.  Protein helps me heal, you know.

When it's cold out.

After working hard to earn my keep.

After a romp.

On holidays and special occasions.

After helping Wol with important stuff around the house.

After a long walk in the woods.

After and during exciting events like Pooh and Dr. Celery coming home....

And after traumatic events...

When something unusual happens in my territory.

When I'm sad.

When I'm lonely.

When the weather's bad.

When I'm tired...

I think you get the idea. :)
