Olympic Event 4- Squirrelput

Here's another event that I compete in- squirrelput. I and purple squirrel compete as a team in this event in which treats are stuffed into purple squirrel and I repeatedly drop purple squirrel in order to get the treats out. We are an excellent team and work well together. We've been a team since I was 8 weeks old.

My Olympic events (3)

My third event is stick. I'm a marvelous stick player, if I do say so myself.  For those of you who are not intimately acquainted with the epic sport of stick, it works something like this. The human grabs a stick and waves it around to get my interest.

I go through intensive training....

In the snow...

And in the blazing heat....

BTW, just so you all know, Owl is definitely the best (human) stick player in the house.:)

Love and wags,

Happy Birthday, Oldest J- cousin

We have another birthday to celebrate today! The oldest of my young cousins turns 6 today!!! Happy Birthday Miss J!! 

Miss J. is homeschooled like my girls and just learned to read to herself.  She is an excellent big sister to her little brothers J.1 and J.2.  She is a sweet and energetic young girl. I love her lots, and hope to see her soon! 

 

 Unfortunately, I couldn't find any pictures with Miss J., but if I've grown this much in 6 years, imagine how much she has, as well. :)

 

Love and wags,

Rosie:)

(PS- Auntie K- could you please make sure that the birthday girl sees this? Thanks!)

Happy Birthday, Grandaddy!

Today would be my Grandaddy's 89th birthday.  I love him lots, and he loved me. 
Here are some (of the many) interesting things about him. He was born in Minnesota, and received all his education from the Minnesota system of public education. He served in the Navy during WWII, but he never saw action.  He earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, and worked for DuPont for 30 years.  He and Grams did an excellent job of raising Kanga, Auntie K., and Uncle L. 
We all miss him lots.
Unfortunately, Roo can't seem to post pictures from this computer. :(

Grandaddy would never have bathed me....:-/

Lots of love to everyone,
Rosie:)

Silliness

I thought I'd take a quick break from my coverage of the Olympics to show y'all some pictures of me that the humans took after dinner a couple days ago.  I was getting some Kanga love, and Roo leaned over and put her glasses on me for some reason. :)

Maybe I should join Roo's friend who comments here as Bee (*waves hi!*) in being a librarian. :) 

Wags and kisses,

Rosie:)

More Test Results

      My regular followers will all know that it's been a busy summer with testing around my house.  First, Roo aced her SATs.  Not to be outdone, Tigger did a great job on her GREs, and today Kanga earned a gold star on her neonatal certification exam.  Not to brag, but in the spirit of full disclosure, they aren't the only testing stars around here.  This past weekend I busted the curve on my blood tests.  I'm real proud of that, especially after all the hard work I put in getting ready.  In fact you'll be happy to know that my vet said I'm in great health (except for a little arthritis in my back legs).

WWFN,

Rosie

 

Congratulations, Kanga!!!!!

Today, Kanga took a test to get certified in neonatal nursing.  She's been study very hard for months. She passed the three hour test in about 70 minutes!!! We're sooo very proud of her!!!!!!!!!!!!  WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT, KANGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me with Kanga=)

Wags and kisses,

Rosie:)
