Awards...and we have no excuse for not blogging!

Hi everybuddy! Sorry we haven't been blogging lately. Actually, we don't even have an excuse! Our mom has just been busy doing stupid stuff like cleaning the house. Since she doesn't have a real job anymore, we no longer have a housekeeper, so she has to do it herself. We try to help, but she says that spreading our fur around and de-stuffing stuffies doesn't really help! Who knew?

Last week, our pals Maggie and Mitch gave us this really cool award. They said it was because Poppy needed a smile after her v-e-t visit. They were soooo right! Thank you very much, M & M! I, Poppy still have a few antibiotics yet to take and then, in a couple weeks, I go back to the v-e-t for the follow-up to see if the "thickening" is gone. Mom can't feel it anymore, so we're hoping it's all gone!

A few weeks ago, Kess and her mama gave us this great award. Sorry it took us so long to post about it. Thank you sooooo much, Kess and your mama!

Oh yeah, and back when we were switching to the new computer, Mango and Dexter gave us this cool award. Again...sorry it took us so long to post about it. Mom finally figured out how to get it into the new computer. Thank you very much Mango and Dexter! We also remember getting an award from Mason Dixie, but our mom hasn't been able to find it in the computer yet! She's going to keep looking, though. Thanks, Mason!

We keep hearing on the news and reading on some of your blogs about the bad weather that a lot of our pals are having. We sure hope all you doggies, kitties, hammies and hoomans are staying safe! We don't have any snow or ice, here in Georgia. Just kind of cold and we've had a lot of rain. The rain has finally stopped so maybe, now, our mom will go out and rescue one of our toys from the back yard. She keeps telling us to bring it in, but what fun would that be? Then we wouldn't get to see her put her rubber shoes on and maybe get stuck in the mud!

When I, Poppy, went the the v-e-t last week, we found out that I have lost some weight. Don't I look skinnier? Okay, my standy-uppy ears aren't any skinnier, but my butt isn't quite as big and I actually have somewhat of a waist! My peeple still aren't giving me as many treats as the other 2 girls get. Mom says I said that wrong...she says I get just as MANY, but my treats are smaller! I think that stinks!

Congratulations to all the doggies that won in the 2nd annual Gooberstanian beard contest! We didn't enter since our beards were cut really short the day before the competition started. The Kerry Blues seem to have us all beat! Maybe, next year, we will: #1. Not get our beards cut and #2. Try out some of that apple juice that Mitch uses to make his beard grow! Somehow, I don't think that will help us catch up with Persephone and Miss Bailey, but we'll give it a try.

Well, everybuddy, I guess that's it for now. We promise to bite our personal secretary in the butt if she doesn't help us blog more often!

Aire-hugs,

Poppy, Penny & Patches
