My New Bling

At a Twitter party a while back I won some bling...and I do mean BLING! I actually won a custom-made collar from Sugar Chic Couture! Imagine that...a year ago I was a pooch in a foster home, and now I'm with my forever family and sporting some major bling! Cool, huh?!

Anyway, the package came in the mail today. It was pink, sparkly, and it had my name written all over it! OK, so maybe my name was only on the label...

"Stop taking pictures and open my mail. NOW."

Check out my cool collar!

Here's a close-up so you can see how sparkly it is.

I've got a lot of fur, so my new bling is sorta hidden in this side-view photo.

But you can sure see it when I'm playing! Isn't it beautiful?

Check out my collar in this video of me playing with my new Babble Ball. (And can you tell what sounds are coming from the ball and what ones are coming from me? He he he.)

Thanks for the bling, Sugar Chic Couture! If you wanna see all of the cool collars they make, check out their website. (And they sell TOYS, too.)

My Prize from the Anipal Photo Hunt

If you've read my bloggie for very long, then you've seen my posts about the Anipal Photo Hunt. But did you know that you can win prizes for participating in the Photo Hunt? That's right! Cokie is giving out special prizes for a while to the first blogger who posts about each week's theme and does a little extra credit, too. And I WON one week!

On Saturday Mom and I headed to Grandma's house, but we made a little stop at the post office first to pick up my prize. You can tell just how excited I am if you look at my blurry tail!

Yep. It's my prize, so I sure think it's fragile!

Check out what Cokie sent me. There's a toy and a babble ball and a little something for Mom, too! You can't really see the toy shoe in this picture. I was already plucking it...

I played with the new shoe for a while, but eventually I fell asleep with it on the trip to Grandma's house.

Thanks for the toys, Cokie! Mom left the babble ball in the trunk of our car. She put it there because she couldn't get it to stop babbling, and she said it was driving her nuts. He he he...

Anipal Photo Hunt #5: BlogPaws

This week's Anipal Photo Hunt theme is "BlogPaws." BlogPaws is a conference that just took place out in Colorado. So for the Photo Hunt we're supposed to post photos of ourselves at BlogPaws or pics of us blogging. Since Mom and I couldn't go to BlogPaws, here are pics of me blogging!



OK, so those are totally pics of me sleeping. Mom just stuck the 'puter there by me. We can just pretend I'm blogging, though, can't we?

Here are some other anipals taking part in this week's Anipal Photo Hunt...

Toy Piggy and Piggy Toy!

My friend Boris calls me the Toy Piggy sometimes 'cause I love my squeakies so much. Well, tonight Mom gave me a squeaky pig. So that means that the Toy Piggy was playing with a piggy toy! Say that five times real fast... He he he.

The two piggies, posing together:

I starting to roll on the piggy.

More rolling (there was lots of rolling)...

And of course I plucked the pig, too.

Finally, the two piggies were worn out and had to take a nap.

This Toy Piggy loves her piggy toy!

Anipal Photo Hunt #4: My Bed

This week's Anipal Photo Hunt theme is "My Bed." Everyone knows, of course, that I love hogging Mom's bed. And if you've seen some of my other posts, then you also know that I've got lotsa doggie beds, too. A girl has to have options, after all!

So...what to post for the Photo Hunt... I decided to have Mom take a picture of me on the bed that I snooze in the most during the day. It's my brown bed. Ta dah!

Be sure to check out the other Anipal Photo Hunt pics for this week!

Fighting Over the Bed

Mom and I have been having a disagreement about the big bed. She thinks she gets to say where we both sleep. I think not.

I like to wiggle my little rump right into the middle of the bed.

Mom claims that she can't sleep well when my rump is in the middle. She says that when I do that she has to sleep diagonally across the top of the bed to get enough room for herself. I think that's a weak argument. She obviously found a way to get enough room, didn't she? And I can't help it that the middle is where I sleep best...

Anipal Photo Hunt #3: My Favorite Toy

Oh. My. Goodness... Cokie announced this week's Anipal Photo Hunt theme and did you SEE what it is?! MY FAVORITE TOY. This theme is just totally meant for me! Cokie might as well have said, "Hey, Buttons, why don't you talk about your favorite thing???" I love toys more than anything! Although, now that I think about it, I would make one little change to this theme because, in all reality, how on earth do I pick just ONE favorite toy???

I could pick my snake, Anna Conda.

Or my ostrich...that may have been partially decapitated last night...and may have lost both squeakers this morning...

Or Mini Buttons.

Been playing with those three the most lately. But there's also my brown bear and my giant squirrel and my skunky.


And my floppy fishy.

And my blue zanies guy.

And my monkey.

And my other monkey.

And my purple piggy.

And my green loofah.

And my fox.

And my pink thing.

And my purple ball thing.

And my rubber chickens.

Ahhh...I could just keep going forever...

Oh, how I love toys.
