Hey, ad team for Beneful, wanna come over for dinner?  Momma wants to serve you some yummy Beneful and see how you like it....


Chef Micheal,  same invite, and wait guys, we can do this as a huge party. Then you can all DIG IN...

Dog food manufacturers... your consumer is smarter than you think. You can spend your $ on Madison Ave or you can pony up and actually create healthy food, until then.... mommaaaaaa I think the lamb chops are ready, they smell done!

One more thing.... if your vet has a junk food isle, take the hint, his interest lies elsewhere, not with your four legged's health... find a new vet.

Where is the logic?

It's late at night. Very late. Momma is up and I have to be up with her. So many things about two leggeds do not ever make sense.  She is up watching the news. Most of the time watching the news upsets her. Why does she watch the news? Really, what the Vick? Where is the logic?

Momma parks the car in garage. Momma says she needs to get to a car wash soon. It is raining outside, so, why not leave the car outside to let the rain wash it?

Momma takes orders from the Nuvi Box and yells at the Nuvi Box. She yells "Do you know what you are doing?" I really don't think the Nuvi can hear her. Otherwise it would have reacted at momma's second guessing it and it would have retaliated. I am glad the Nuvi is deaf. Where is the logic?

Ever watch daddy when he is watching Ohio State football? Biz....arrrreee.  sometimes he sits on the edge of the seat and talks to the TV. No future in that, trust me. JD carried a love affair with Lala from the Teletubbies and he tried for years talking to her on the TV. I think the TV is deaf too.  Where is the logic?No, wait... I have seen daddy on the TV talk to momma, he could hear her. I am so confused. But I did like the ballet slipper the football players were wearing. All sparkly. I love sparkles.

Why are two leggeds s so entirely fascinated with themselves? Momma will not watch a nature channel because it showed a fox eating a rabbit. ??? Yet she watches the news with all sorts of gory murders and crimes...No, I don't get it. Where is the logic?

Furs. Please, someone explain to me why necrophilia is chic!  Skin of a dead victim on your body. Ick. Where is the logic?

Humans get divorced. They give their dog to rescue.????? Your marriage failed. Your dog should not be the one being punished. He/she is probably the only successful relationship in your life!  Put your spouse in rescue and keep the dog!  Where is the logic?

Don't even get me started on puppy mills....... helllloooo world, upfront profits at the expense of innocents are NOT enough justification for puppy mills because poor breeding produced long term losses and massive suffering. Where is the logic?

It is so very late.  I am getting loopy, I need sleep and I need this woman to go to bed. I am going to whine and yawn that will give the hint. She is very tired, why is she still doing stuff?  Nobody is making her!  It is all her...compulsion... Where is the logic?

Finally.... we are going to bed. It is 2:00 am. Daddy, when you are home, she does not do caca like this.... often... anyway...

Bark in the Park Pictures

We thank our friends MS Eleanora MCClenney and Mr Bob Jones for contributing the pictures taken at Bark in the Park. Someone... left her camera on the desk... someone who shall go "nameless"...

Uncle Bob and Kip and I see Frannie's leash. Did you happen to notice that two legged who own Bichons are really much more attractive that non Bichon owners?

This is a picture of efficient preparation. Timmy in his buggy with his momma, auntie Eleanora. I bet he got ice water... and a real bowl.

Timmy and auntie Crissy. They matched outfits! And you know what?  The Wendy actually let auntie Crissy hold her. Seriously and that has never happened before!!!

Frannie in pink, Eric in black, meeting, greeting and looking for their forever homes.

These pictures are from Auntie Eleanora

Eric who is looking for his forever home. He is tall, handsome and...available. Woof.That is all I am going to say.

Freddie, a TBFR grad who is now a certified therapy dog. Nothing better than a guy in uniform. But the human popsicle took us home before Freddie arrived.  Sigh....

Ms Belle giving the "look.  She must hang around Bichons...That's a Bichon look.

A tired Eric, looking for someone to pick him up... hey forever family, step up to the plate already!!! Is it me or is he sooo cute?

Kip going home. Tired, Happy, Tired, Snuggly....

These pictures are from Uncle Bob.

Thank you guys for contributing the pics. You all know what we are dealing with here with the momma....

The FIASCO and expectation management

JD: "We have to talk about it. We have to. It's the "elephant" in the room. It's not going away and we need to discuss it. After all we have to do something about it. We owe to the family. I am perfectly willing to talk to daddy or Dowi or even Adam about this. If we do nothing... it will happen again... and I am just not willing to put up with that."

WENDY : "Oh, JD I am with you, but I am not good with words, you know, my emotions just get the best of me and I fall apart.  But, something must be done. I made a list of everything that was not right... let me just enumerate it.

1. NO stroller! Seriously!  Who ever heard of going out in a crowd, without our CADI??? We could have been stolen or something! And I was embarrassed, walking on grass...public grass..
I have been looking at my paws for hours DOG knows what I have picked up.

2. Where was the ice water? Daddy never, ever forgets our ice water and our blue bowl!  When momma pulled out that collapsible thingie and poured water from that room temp bottle, I just about died. I was rescued from that kind of life... I am entitled to better!

3. Did you notice she did not bring a camera? I suppose she did not want to document her failings... no?

4. I do love her, but OMD this was not her best "performance". And finally, who ever heard of going to Bark in the Park and NOT baking something?  I mean... we went empty handed, like a civilian. WE ARE RESCUE!!!  I was so ferklepmt.

5. She did not even bring one of our chairs. Being forced to share a seat with both of you because momma failed to plan....OY!

6. What on earth was she wearing? I know she kept saying she was cold, but three coats and none fit right??? Is oversize in this year?  She looked like a bag lady.

7. I suppose we should be grateful she took us for that "walk". She called it that... I say it was more like a W.... the ALK part was definitely missing...

8. Did any of you get a snack? No. I just can't believe she was so unprepared.

9. Did she have our towels to wipe down our paws after forcing us on that wet grass? NO.

10. And then, she decides to go home after a couple of hours.  Helloooo, we missed dock dogs. We missed the walk....and that ride home... did you hear her complaining that she was a human popsicle? Lie. I licked her. She was not a popsicle.

See, I am just NOT good with words, but we need to talk about this and tell the family.

SILVIEON4: "Wendy Pohh, cut momma some slack!.  I think you guys are just not looking at the big picture.  She actually took us to Bark in the Park! She can't put Blue Buggy in her car, it does not fit!!! and honestly, you got to meet lots of people and get lots of belly rubs and you met lots of doggies, so what's the big deal? If you don't encourage momma she will stop trying!!!  And do you forget that she is still broken??? And I swear you guys if you do this, you might as well kiss off the October Bash.

I think we need to take a soft approach. I think we need to help her make lists so that she does not feel overwhelmed and she handles it better.  I mean, momma is used to daddy being there.
I think ratting her out to the family is NOT the way to go.

And she was cold. I heard her teeth doing the macarena in her mouth.

SILVIEON4: "Personally, I am not going to be an ingrate. We got snacked as soon as we got home. We got brushed, she made us a grand dinner, and she snuggled some of us. Leave me out of your "intervention",  I am going to show momma support and love. I am not throwing her under the bus, just because my butt was cold on that folding chair.  You guys need to manage your expectations. I am going to help her make a list of things to take to the Bash. And you two spoiled brats will deal with whatever.  I want to go to the BASH, Get it?  Don't make me tell daddy what diva crap you have been pulling Ms Wendy... or what tiny tyrant tantrums you have been engaging in JD.... Someone has to defend the momma... might as well be me, I love her the most.

So it seems."

My fluffitude is super, I need some belly rubbing and I am having a great hair day, which means.... I need to be seen and to see people. I know that the Tidewater Bichon Frise Rescue booths are filled with fun stuff and I have it on good authority that auntie Robin has been baking...pardon me, have to wipe off the puddle of drool... but at least two bags of goodies are coming home with me. I told Wendy, we are working it. After all, you never know who you run into, if you catch my drift... Heyyy Jaxx, Freddie... Kip....Who me? Boy crazy? You silly thing, I am not boy crazy, I am social. Yes that's it, social.Opportunity is calling....


Wagggggg
