PAWsitive thinking

The power of PAwsitive thinking is one of the most underutilized resource. It saddens me to think that many 4leggeds have forgotten how powerful PAWsitive thinking is.

Try this. The next time your 2legged is contemplating his/her attack on a large plate of something, sit by, quietly. Look at them directly in the eyes and exercise the power. Think PAWsitively. Think"I too need a snack". While you might not get something off that plate, I am sure you will get something. Maybe just an ice cube, maybe just piece of apple, or a carrot [least fulfillment.... if you ask me] but something. That is how PAWsitive thinking works. You cannot go into it with full expectations. That negates the PAWsitivity.

You have to go into it with an open mind.

You never know what wonderful surprise will come your way when you do not limit your expectation.

PAWsitive thinking will get you a great belly rub when you thought you were just going to keep company. It will get you a tall cappuccino foam, when you thought you were going to get just a lick.
It will get you all kissed up when you thought you were just going to get a pat on the head.

PAWSITIVE THINKING.... Try it

I am going to PAWsitive think my way from a snuggle to ???? Something good!

I was browsing and I came across a list of phobia. Mhh. Very interesting. Personally I see very little wrong with a healthy aversion, ehmm phobia of certain things... ie... floods, bees, germs, injections, dentists, bacteria, sharks...

Fear of cats? HAHAHAHAHA Have you met Lucky???? What's to fear? It is all about me me me with cats!

Fear of chickens???? Oh yummm I am only afraid we will run out of the delicious chickens!!!

How do you fear of dancing???? How boring if you could never see daddy do the crazy puppy dance! In in my house fear of foreign languages would confine you to the attic! Fear of cars? Never! I love car rides. But maybe... I could use that fear of vegetable thing and stop having to deal with green beans. What do you think?

Oh and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that fear of clothing thing. Maybe that would work to get momma off my back on wearing do da dresses. Hate those.

I need to study this. I think I could make some of these really work for me...

the soon to be phobic.

Silvie con QUESO

Once upon a lovely sunrise
Awoke a pup who wanted cheese fries

She stretched and yawned and curled her toes
Then rolled and scratched and twitched her nose

"Lamb? again mom?" she stomped her feet,
"Cant we try a different treat?"

Nails clicking and clacking on the hardwood floor
Silvie danced near potatoes mom got at the store

"Fried to a crisp and covered in cheese,
Then topped with scallions, oh mama please!"

"Silvie, cheese fries are not healthy. At all. They have too much fat and sodium for a little puppy. You need vitamins and protein if you're going to grow properly. Plus, I don't even think you can digest all that dairy. You know, there is a reason everybody calls you 'Stinky'. Now, I'd be happy to cut up some carrots for you. Or how about some yummy green beans? You really need to start eating more yogurt. It's good for you."

Then, in a wrinkle, her little nose was able
To lead her around to the head of the table

And as soon as she got there, she widened her eyes
because there with her daddy was a plate of cheese fries!

"Could I taste just a nibble?" she practically sighed,
Tilting her floppy-eared head to the side.

Did it succeed or was it a failure?
Silvie would like to tell you but her belly is too full of cheese fries to continue this rhyming thing.

So. very. full.

and happy,
'vie

I would rather be BAREFOOT in the park!

It was inevitable. It was bound to happen. It was just a matter of time. I always feared something like this.... and now it has happened...
I am afraid I will be losing momma to another website. Ick.
I rarely talk about momma's shoe addiction. After all, it is my firm belief that shoes are the "consolation" price for only having 2 legs. Maybe because she says she has short legs, but the woman does have big shoe issues. Not talking out of school here, but she has a "shoe bible". Honest. It is a picture book of her shoes with itty bitty pics and descriptions of the shoes. She takes the "shoe bible" with her when she shops for shoes. Otherwise she might buy duplicates... or something. She has shoes that she puts on only when she needs to feel better... and she has them in pretty matching boxes with pictures of the shoes. A whole huge wall of shoes... Nobody is sure how many pairs. She would rather tell you her age or weight than the truth about the numbers of shoes. But I have seen them. I just have blocked it out of my mind.
Now with this web site... I wonder if we will ever see her again. I wonder if she will even know we are here. Sigh. I am worried. Maybe we could do a family intervention. Does Dr Drew do shoe addictions? Maybe the only way to snap her out of it is to give her belly rubs. They work for me.
I have to do something... Any suggestions??? I can live with D&B and LV and Prada, but.. Manolo and Spiga just have no place in my heart.


me telling the Wendy.... "get comfy, this is going to take a looooong time... she is in her shoe closet"

DARBY Got a forever home!

Darby, you smothhhh one. Got yourself a forever home just in time for the Bash. Very cool.

So, have you started training them? Your 2 leggeds, I mean. Remember to be patient. They are nervous at first. But at the same time, don't be afraid to establish boundaries. This is your golden moment to set the tone for your master-staff relationship.

I don't want to brag, but I had my 2 leggeds trained to pick me up and carry me everywhere. And it worked well for a while. Yes aunt Robin , I am looking at you, spoilsport. Aunt Robin made them put me down. But I digress... I have done a great job with them. I am firm, but loving.
Demanding, but I lavish them with attention and remember, the rule of thumb must be:
No empty lap allowed and no idle hands. Take over the lap, offer up a belly and get petted. It helps them bond to you.

Mhh, I am so glad you now have a last name. Hey do you know of anyone who deserves Piper?
He is still looking for his forever home!

See you at the bash!
Congrats
