Another Slumber Party...and a 'Family Photo'

I know I'm pretty much backtracking...but these photos are too nice (in my opinion) to keep inside Mom's dusty old computer! hehe! Tobey and Colin look darn adorable (if I may say so...*puffs chest*) when they are asleep...together or otherwise! *wink* Proof:



Colin



Tobey




Two of them together....




Close up (all together now...AWWWWW!)



Even I got in the action...heh!


Do you think this would make a good header for my blog? *wink*


Look at Colin all snuffling Tobey!


Hehe...we also managed to snap this 'family' photo, but it's not really complete yet...not without Lady. =( But then, she wasn't available at the time (or Mom plain forgot...hmmph!)


Colin suddenly got all shy....awww!

That's about it from me for now...next up: pressie time!! Christmas is definitely coming early for me! *wink*

Christmas isn't Christmas...

...till it happens in your heart, and you get Christmas cards to boot too! *wink*

Sorry...bad pun. I was trying to quote a line from a Christmas song and it went awry. LOL! I can't believe Christmas is 10 days away! YAYYY! I still can't get Mom to put up a Christmas tree (after much prodding, she said we had a Christmas tree, but it's stashed away somewhere and she doesn't know where to find it!)...pfft! Oh well, like the line, it's all in our hearts no? Plus, I have loads of friends who have beautiful Christmas trees put up for me to admire...hee!

Okay, back to business...I've gotten loads and LOADS of Christmas cards, I've lost count! o.O" This is SOOOO cool! Thank you SOOO much to everyone who has sent me these BEAUTIFUL Christmas cards! I've actually gotten more even as I (or Mom) types this, so we'll keep updating with photos of all the other cards too...*grins*


Our second batch of Christmas cards...look at all those colors! SOOO pretty! And I can't believe Tobey & Colin slept through it all...LOL!

Ooh, ooh! Good news...Tobey has found his furever home! We sure will miss him, but his new owner promised he will take good care of Tobey and keep us updated on his progress, so all is good...*wink* This photo is taken before Tobey went to his new home, of course!


Close up on the cards...they look GORGEOUS, don't they! *grins*


Here's the third batch of cards we got...Mom got Kenji to sit nicely next to me. Hehe!


And another close up....*grins*


Here are the e-cards that I've gotten from my friends so far! Some of them are from doggies whom I don't know yet, but they are so kind to send me a card! We're finding it hard to thank each and every doggie in person, so we're including them here...thank you SOOOO much once again! We will come by and visit your bloggies real soon!

BubbleShare: Share photos - Play some Online Games.




I've also gotten a few awards from my friends too! Thank you all SO, VERY much! It is such an honor!

I got this so very cool (literally!) award from my friends Coco & The Four Musketeers (Lady, Zena, Cody & Joyce)! To be honest, I've been eyeing this award for a long time...and to get it is SOOO pawsome! Thank you!! *grins*




These two awards are also passed on to me by Coco! Thank you again, Coco! Love the pretty colors on them! *grins*


I would love to pass these on to everyone visiting my blog....if you have not received these awards, please do feel free to pick one! I insist, okay? *wink*

Like Father, Like Sons

One way to tell if your sons / daughters really take after you is when you observe them sleeping. *wink* Case in point:


How I sleep most of the time..



And the pups...*grins*


Oops...looks like Tobey found out Mom was snooping around with the camera. But he's sweet enough to not run towards her just yet (usually he'll run over and jump on her!)


After they adjusted themselves again (I slept through the whole thing...naturally! *wink*) Mom snapped this.


Why does it look like I'm feeding Colin milk?!!!! o.O" Don't believe me?


............'nuff said. Good night!

Me (and Kenji) time & Marshmallows...yum!

Hello everyone!

I'm so sorry I haven't been visiting your blogs as much as I used to...Mom's been really busy at work coz she had an extra assignment given to her...at this time of the year too! Pfft! I'll try to come over as much as I can...miss reading about you a lot!

Well, I guess it's about time for me to get some blog-time, you know? So you don't forget me...haha! I'll still post about the pups...but they can't be taking over MY blog! *wink* Anyways, here are some photos of Kenji and me getting some MARSHMALLOWS!! YAYY! I've read about them from Maggie & Mitch's blog and they both had so much fun eating them that I pestered Mom for some...and got them! hehe!


Mom didn't manage to find smaller marshmallows...these are the ones she managed to get. LARGE ones! hehe! I also like the fact that it has NO fat...perfect for my slimming diet!
(Mom: No way it can be NO fat...it's sugar,isn't it? *rolls eyes*)


Mom got Kenji to come into the picture too, but he was looking at something else that's more yummy to him I guess...LOL!


And so, it's time to DIG IN! hehe...let's give it a few licks first to see what it tastes like..


..and then start CHOMPING! Yum yum...*licks lips*


It's SOOOOO good I almost bit Mom's fingers off! *wink*



Kenji got one too...he got into it with more gusto than I did! hehe!


By this time we were clambering for a second one...who says dogs can't taste as well as humans?


Yummy yummy yummy....


Mom had to tear mine into smaller pieces so she could get better photos of me...LOLL! Silly Mom!



OMIGOSH! Did Kenji's jaws look dislocated or what?


He loved it so much he closed his eyes to savour the deliciousness, sweetness and yumminess of it all!



We didn't get to have more after that though...Mom and Aunty Vivian polished the rest off in no time! *pouts* Oh well, there's always next time no? Until the next 'feasting' time...

Scottie

More puppies in action

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a great weekend...mine was great! It was quite a long weekend coz Monday was a public holiday here, so Mom got one more day to spend with us. *grins* And...she made another video on the puppies in action!

Haha...yes, I (or rather, Mom!) can't stop about the pups...=P Here is yet another video of the pups, but it's more of a compilation of videos of sorts. Don't want to bore you with too many videos! Plus, I think Mom wants to get as many photos and videos of the pups before they go to their new homes...she sure is going to miss them when they're going off! (Mom found two potential owners, but they are still considering)

Anyways, enough chatter...Enjoy! *wink*


video



We'll return to more Scottie stuff after this...*wink* I've gotten SOOOO many Christmas cards I've lost count! It's SOOO nice to be getting so many Christmas cards...Mom is SUPER jealous! haha! Stay tuned...

xoxo,
Scottie

Puppy videos!

As promised, here are videos of the pups! Excuse the volume of the 'background music' and the shaky camera...Mom and Gramma were watching some TV program and the puppies were very distracting indeed...


video



video



I've actually got another video of Kenji playing with the pups that's SUPER cute, but the file is a little too big, so I'm going to have to ask Mom to edit it for me when she gets back from work...I've also got quite a lot of Christmas cards coming my way! Will post a Christmas Card Exchange post real soon...*wink*

Kenji, The Gentle 'Giant'

Remember when I said that Kenji didn't get to meet with the pups coz he went berserk when he saw them? Well, it turns out he's a giant softie at heart! Mom let him see and sniff the pups at close supervision and I guess he only barked at them coz he wanted to get out from the playpen and start playing! hehe! And he's real gentle too when he plays with the pups, letting them get away with murder sometimes...*wink* And even though he's smaller than me, to the pups, he's kind of a 'giant'...LOL!

Now, Mom lets the pups stay in the playpen with us during the daytime...they play a LOT for such young pups! I get quite tired after all that nibbling and yipping from them! Kenji was about the same too...we wouldn't have any of it when Mom tried to keep them in the playpen at night so they can sleep with us coz they were just such bundles of energy at night! o.O" In the end, to let us have a good night's sleep, she put the pups in the carrier I have so they will go to sleep. *wink*

They're getting real good at potty-training too! They wouldn't weeble or poo in the carrier where they sleep (except for one accident when Mom didn't let them out in time!) and would go potty at the potty tray that I used when I was younger...Gramma and Mom were chuffed!

Well, enough of the chatter...let's see some photos of Kenji and the pups, shall we? *wink*


Kenji and Tobey getting to know each other...


A 'face-off' between the two...Mom thought Kenji would lunge at Tobey at this point!


But he didn't! And when Colin came into the picture, Kenji wanted in with them...*grins*


See? He got crazy-eyed looking at them pups playing so hard! LOL!


Rachel also loved playing with the pups...they like to clamber all over her when she sits down! In fact, they would just run over, jump over you, and try to nibble your legs / pants everytime you call them...hehe!


Peekaboo! Look who's smart enough to poke his head through my carrier? *wink*


Tobey's a master at this too...


Here are some more photos of the pups, starting with Tobey:






....And Colin:






Two pups hanging out at the staircases (Did I mention that they can climb up the stairs already? No wonder we get so tired...chasing after them is quite the workout! LOL!)





Whoops! Hehe...wrong pup! But hey, at least you won't forget what I looked like, no? Please excuse the dishevelled look...lack of sleep and running around with them, you know?


Stay tuned for VIDEOS of the pups! I wanted to post them now, but it's taking quite a while to upload, so hopefully tomorrow the connection would be better! *crosses paws* Till then...

Pay It Forward campaign

Sorry to post this so late, but I have been preoccupied with the pups and all...who knew that taking care of two boisterous pups would be so tiring? hehe! Turns out Colin is not as mellow as I thought he would be...if he wants to, he can be more bumbly than Tobey! I'll show you why in my next post...*wink*

Meanwhile, back to my subject...I have received some VERY AWESOME, VERY COOL gifts from my good friend, Siku-Marie! Here are the photos from it:


Lookie at the box! Sorry it looked a bit squished...the postman had not been kind to it. GRRR!


Even Kenji got curious as to what lies in the box...*wink*


After Mom helped us to open the box, we found THIS! GREENIES!! I started drooling instantly after seeing this yummy treat!


Mom said I should share too, so Kenji got one of the Greenies too...see how he is so intense looking at the yummy bone?


While Kenji was preoccupied with his bone, I checked out some more of the very cool things that Siku got me...there's a Balloons CD-Rom! It has all sorts of animations, photos, games...all on hot air balloons! How pawsome is that?? And there's a 'Places' leash too...it's like a charm bracelet for me. If I get to go to a new place, I get a pin to put on the leash...LOVELY! Siku even got me an Albuquerque pin...YAYY!


There's also a cool tennis ball to play with...does it fit my mouth good? hehe!


And this is my favourite...the spider plush toy! It even squeaks when I chomp on its body! hehe!


Another pose with my toy just to show how much I LOVE it! *grins*


Thank you SOOOO much for your wonderful gifts, Siku! I sure will have loads of fun playing with all the toys!



Now, I'm Paying It Forward too...*grins* I think it's a GREAT idea of a campaign! What better to spread some smiles and kindness to other people, no? Here are some of the rules:

"The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and 'pay it forward' in their own way.

This is how it works...
I am going to agree to send something fun, inspiring or uplifting to the first 3 blog owners who post a comment on this entry [please leave your email address if I don't all ready have it].In turn you will then post about this on your blog, link to me, then send something to the first three people who sign up to play along through your blog.
There are no cost restraints, BUT don't go crazy!The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found.No biggie, just a gift that will make the person smile.Maybe something unique from where you live?
And, remember that kindness does not have to involve money; there are untold ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go - just look around."

SO PAY IT FORWARD...*wink*

Puppies, puppies, puppies!

Well, looks like Mom and Jettie's Mom settled their differences, coz we got two pups at our house right now! WHEE! They're even cuter than before, now that we can get to see them in action and play with them since they've gotten their vaccinations...*grins* They've still got boosters to do, but Mom thinks it's okay to play with them a bit...whoever can resist a cute pup?



Here are the two pups after they got home...they love to huddle in between this red box and the stairs. Don't know what's so special there, but they seem to like it!


The two snuggle puppies...do they remind you of me when I was little? *wink*


Here's Mom with the littler one...she got them collars to tell them apart easily. She wants to call this boy Tobey, coz she said he looked like a Tobey...mischievous, rambunctious and playful!


Here's Mom with his brother...she wants to call him Colin (why, I have no idea! LOL!). He's quite quiet compared to his brother, loves to take naps and cuddle with people!


I got to meet them too, though at first Mom put on my leash and collar just in case I would lunge at them and hurt them...pfft! Why would I ever hurt my own pups? In fact, I got a bit nervous after meeting them...with my body size about 4 times bigger than them, I stayed away quite a bit and let them play on their own! LOL! Here's me meeting Tobey..


...and sniffing a Hello to Colin.


Do you think they will grow up to be as 'handsome' as me? *wink*



Kenji didn't get to meet them coz he went beserk when the pups got into the house. Mom was quite anxious that he would actually bite them coz he is an overprotective doggie...=( Oh well, we'll see how it goes till Kenji settles down and accepts the fact that the pups will stay with us for a while...



Yes, you've read right...the pups are not staying with us for long, coz Mom said there are so many of us doggies at home so she's looking for good homes for the pups. Sad, but at least we've got to play with them, and hopefully we'll be able to keep in touch with their new Moms and Dads to see how they're doing! Mom needs some help in spreading the word about these pups, so if you could give us a hand it would be PAWSOME!

The pups are now 7 weeks old. Both of them are male. Tobey is a black and silver Miniature Schnauzer (he takes after Jettie) and Colin is a salt and pepper Miniature Schnauzer just like me....*grins* They both have gotten their first round of puppy vaccinations, lovely markings, LONG eyelashes and are just SUPER CUTE! So, if you are looking to own your own Miniature Schnauzer, please do contact me and my Mom at: nottiescottie(at)gmail(dot)com for further enquiries!


Here are some photos of the pups close-up:

~ Tobey (or Blue-Collar Puppy) ~
Are you looking for a playful, mischievous, adventurous and an all-round adorable puppy? Then Tobey is the one for you! He is a very friendly pup and loves to play with whomever who is willing to...be ready to fall in love with his ever jovial personality. *wink* If you are interested, please contact me and my Mom at: nottiescottie(at)gmail(dot)com for more details and enquiries.











~ Colin (or Silver-Collar Puppy) ~
Colin is a very gentle and mellow pup who just LOVES to cuddle up with people! If you are looking for a pup who will just ADORE you (aka 'stick' to you like glue) and is good with people, then Colin is just the pup for you...=) Contact me and my Mom at: nottiescottie(at)gmail(dot)com [with the proper characters for email,of course!] for more enquiries.









Well, that's about it from me for now...will keep you updated about the pups from time to time. Please do help us spread the word so we can find some good homes for these precious pups! We appreciate all your help...thanks!

Scottie
