New Year's Eve

Happy New Year's Eve Everyone!  Stay safe out there!!!

We spent the last day of 2009 doing our favorite things...

Stella sleeping in the sun.

 

Gunther chillin' in the never-been-lit fire pit. Why he loves to hang out in there... we'll never know.

 

We're learning Ms. Betty LOVES herself a game of fetch! She's always waiting for someone to throw the tennis ball.

 

Luckily they make small tennis balls for small mouths.

You can hear the big mouths in the back ground barking at some people walking by. Betty isn't even phased by it as long as we keep throwin' the ball.

Happy 2010 Friends!!

Wordless but not barkless Wednesday...

We love our Grandma

Her lap is soft, compfy and always available..

Did we mention she was a fierce sewer? 

Watching her sew wore us out. Betty couldn't even stay awake long enough to take off the new fleece coat grandma made for her.

Grandma got us a snuggly fleece blankie for the couch too.

Snorts and kisses,
Stella, Gunther & Betty

Gunther is feeling a little Cranky

He didn't get his Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle for Christmas. But we were worried he would shoot his eye out...

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

We'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hopes for bright new beginnings!

Our little Betty didn't have the best of beginnings.

It's because of the incredible people at French Bulldog Rescue Network  that we now have Betty and get to show her how a Froggie Princess should live...   Merry Christmas Betty girl.

Yesterday, we took Betty out to one of the vineyards Bruce manages to show her Stella and Gunther's favorite pass times.

 

Too much ground to cover so there will be no one off a leash today!

Checking out the yummy smells. 

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for... Taaa daaaa!

What Gunther does best.

What Stella does best.

The beauty of this day is that it's the first time Betty felt comfortable going potty while walking on the leash. We think she hasn't had much practice because she always waits to go potty until we get home to her yard. She's REALLY private about her business so we told the puperatzzi to stay away until she was done.

It was a long day for Ms. Betty. Nothing to do but nap the rest of the day away with Gunther watching over her.

Stella, Gunther & Betty's mom

*disclaimer... no poo was left behind. We always carry poo bags. :)

 

 

Grandmas comin for Christmas!

Grandma is coming for Christmas. We always love it when she stays with us.

Grandma is a fierce sewer and she saw these 'Fido Fleece' jackets that's perfect for broad chested beauties like us. So for Christmas she bought a bunch of fleece and plans on making us some when she gets here! Keep a look out friends.

She also likes to walk us a lot while she's here. Yeah, well hopefully that's up for negotiation..

Maybe Betty can convince her to drive us around instead.

What we're also excited about this Christmas is that dad just got word he'll be managing a new vineyard for none other than... Nigel Lythgoe from So You Think You Can Dance!

We're not much into dancing, either is daddy but mom likes the show.  What we are really into is pooing in the nice stinky dirt the vines grow in. And the more snobby the vineyard owner, the better the poop. BOL! Shhhh... don't tell anyone.

Happy Pooing everyone.

Stella, Gunther and Betty

Wordless Wednesday

It's Betty's Birthday!

Betty is 2 years old today!  She's limited as far as treats and stuff because she suffers from epilepsy. It's a low sodium diet for this girl.  We've found that she thinks tennis balls and Nylabones are tops!

Birthday's are meant for layin around...

 

Wait, it's my birthday? There must be birthday cake involved.

 

What do you mean none for me? It's my birthday!

Momma... Puulease.

 

What's this? A new Nylabone? I wonder if I have to share it with Stella and Gunther.

 

Nom nom nom. It ain't cookies, but I guess it'll do.

Will Stella & Gunther ever forgive us?

Betty's best effort at trying to get Stella and Gunther to play is sadly going unanswered.

Unfortunately she'll learn it's going to be an up hill battle to get these two fatties off the front porch.

Special Delivery from Brutus

Stella received a very special package in the mail from her handsome and very talented boyfriend Brutus.  Chris, our wonderful mail carrier is always happy to come up and say hello to the gang.

 

Ohh ohh, what'd we get?

 Ugg, I think I need my back brace. Stella is really packin on the pounds.

 

This box just doesn't seem big enough for Brutus. Hopefully he's in here somewhere..

 

We're still working on Betty's manners.

 

Gulp, there is very strong resemblance. Hopefully we're not first cousins. That would make our relationship rather awkward.

 

See how much Brutus loves me?! He sends me treats and toys. How did I get so lucky?

The treats were guarded closely. The snowman was not so lucky. First nabbed by Betty,

Then Gunther.

 Thank you my dear Brutus!! The turkey hearts were especially popular! Mom ordered our Christmas cards a week ago. I hope she can mail them out very soon!! 

Many puggie hugs and kisses,

Stella

Don't mind if I do...

Oooo, what is this tasty treat?

Anybody lookin?... 

 

Chomp.  Nom nom nom.

Yikes! Moms comin! Better go. I faintly remember rule #342 states no eating the plants. 

Betty making herself at home

What the heck are these pink things? I don't remember seeing them in Ohio..

 

Mmmm, usually these are covered with snow this time of year. 

Don't mind me you guys. I'm just gonna lay here and mind my own business.

Whoa!!! That's gotta be the biggest tongue I've ever seen! Are they all like that in California?

 

I love you guys.

 

 

Almost Wordless Wednesday

What's a guy gotta do to get some handouts around here?...

Yo, dad. Down here. How's about a little somthin somthin for your favorite guy.

Perhaps you didn't hear me. Can you hear me now?..

 

 

 I might need to bring in reinforcements.. 

 

Work it Stella!

 

Clearly we are NOT dealing with an amateur.

 

Geez Betty. If your forlorn look doesn't get him, perhaps the stench comin out of your butt will cause him to pass out & then I think the three of us could take him.
