Scampi Gotcha Day!

This picture was taken on the first day Scampi came into our lives. It has not been always easy, but he is my happy little bundle of joy, always by my side, always trusting me no matter where I bring him,  he knows now that he always comes home with me. We have both gotten older (and grayer) since we took this picture, but despite this,he plays like a little pup!  -Kira and Scampi's Mom

Back to me now! Mom has been so neglecting me and my blog! We have not gone boating in months! I finally got to go this past weekend, Mom did not take many pictures though....Scampi is always giving Mom trouble, this time he fell in the water when we were docked at the marina, the water is quiet deep and he could not figure out how to get out, Mom had to climb down a ladder and rescue him, he is fine, but Mom got a bit cut up from the barnacles on the ladder. She was worried about him because he got so sick this past winter, that she washed and blow dried him for a couple of hours to keep him warm, the water temperature was not even cold, silly little dog!  (60 degrees) I would not have gotten cold, but then again, I would not have fallen in.

Anyway, Happy Gotcha Day to my little dork of a brother.....Here is a smile fur him! Well really it is fur me, I was so happy to be back on my boat.....

Lots of people talk to animals…. Not very many listen, though…. That’s the problem.

So sorry we have been gone for so long, my Mom has been too busy to bother with me.The very good news is that Mom's little dog and kitty sculptures were very popular this year, which means many many green papers for rescued dogs and kitties. She is still figuring out where to send more donations, but has several places picked out. 

The not so good news is  our little Scampi has been not well, but Mom persisted, and brought him to the vet repeatedly. They thought it was allergies, then suddenly it was considered serious, and she was told the scary "cancer" word. After much worrying and many tests, Scampi is still sick, but he is fixable. He has pneumonia.Mom is keeping him warm and inside and quiet, which means it is rather boring for me, but Mom seems happier. Hopefully now I can get her back working on my being my secretary. 

All my love, and Husky kisses, Kira The BeaWootiful

Merry Christmas!

We will be back soon!!!!

All our Love- Kira, Scampi and Bentley too!

Kira's Whicked Wednesday,,,

And A Day Late......Almost woo'less thursday.......I have been around snooping through woo blogs, may sad events, many silly ones too, Laverne and Shirley,....... not much new here fur me. Mom is so busy she is going nuts... but that is a good thing fur her. So, I just lay around waiting fur the cooler weather that is supposed to come this weekend. 

So, here I am being wicked....

  and more wicked

 

and of course, this Whicked!!!

We will be back.....

and apologize fur our absence, it is the middle of Mom's art show season, and she is having trouble keeping up, so we will be visiting, but not always commenting until things calm down a bit....

Here is a happy picture of me to remind woo all of what I look like!

We love all of Wooo!

The Best Day!

Sorry I had to keep woo all waiting, we had a Brighthouse failure, no phone, no internet, fur a whole day!!!!!

Now, on to my great day! First a bunch of humans climbed into My boat fur a boat ride, I am not used to sharing my seat....so I was not so sure about this.

Then we arrived at this dock with some other boats, there was wonderful smells in the air, It was a big outdoor restaurant  (Mar Vista) where they allow doggies!

 Lucky me. I sat under the table and everyone said how beawootiful I was

and gave me parts of their lunches! ( the best seafood!)

That was great, after a little walkie along the water we climbed back into the boat,

I thought the day was over, but wait..... 

We beached the boat on a sand bar. I got my life jacket on, very excited!

I LOVE to swim in the salt water. I was so happy! 

The water in different spots was only ankle deep on me, to a couple of feet,

perfect swimming !

I first was very impressed by all of the seafood, I tried catching some of these fur a while, but the Momster made me drop it, they do pinch a bit, one got my nose!

My other fur friends got to go too, but my friend James, did not like the water on his feets....

Scampi, after fussing a bit came out of the boat

and visited with our friends, James and Travis,

and Mom took him on a little walkie around the sandbar  while I was fishing fur crab,

then we both walked around

Scampi, meeting the neighbors

 Mom put Scampi back in the boat, he was whining....

 I got my pink jacket off to feel the cool water, and I swam and swam fur hours!

Me, thanking Mom by sitting on her...

Wet and tired after 4 hours in the water....

we went back to the Marina, where I slept in the cool a/c

Lovely End to Perfect Day!

something actually good...

happened here. I dragged Mom away from her work and we went out on the boat fur the weekend! 

Wooos ! What fun! Boating! 

We drove the car fur a long car ride, I had a nice nap, then got out to go potty at a gas station, then got back in the car fur more riding.... then we arrived in Sarasota! Mom and Dad unloaded the boat from the trailer and I got in it, weeeee!

we went across the Sarasota Bay to Longboat Key,

 where Mom said we were spending the weekend.

It was a lovely day with a nice walkie after we arrived.

but the best day I ever had was soon to come......

We are still here....

You have to excuse us, I am about to fire my secretary. She has been  ignoring me and my blog! I do not know what has come over her. She has a problem, which means so do I. 

I will be calling AA (Artists Anonymous). 

All she does is spend all day in her studio working, 

and even more bothersome, sometimes all hours of the night. I caught her in the studio the other night at 3 am.

We look cute, and try to get her to leave it and play with us,

but she sends us away, saying later, well, I think later is NOW!

I might have to recruit some of my blogging pals to get Mommy back to life with us.

Any suggestions?

Dogs Rule!

DOGS RULE

Actually, you can help a lot of dogs. How often have you had a chance to have a 20 pound bag of dog food donated to a shelter simply for writing a blog post? It’s really that easy. Pedigree has upped the ante big time. And please spread this message: The food drive is not limited to pet blogs. Imagine if we could spread this message beyond our circles and see how far it goes? The numbers could be substantial. Here is the full scoop:

• Each year, more than 4 million dogs end up in shelters and breed rescue organizations. Pedigree created The PEDIGREE Adoption Drive to help shine a spotlight on the plight of these homeless dogs.

• This year the PEDIGREE Adoption Drive is raising awareness for homeless dogs by donating a bowl of food to shelter dogs for everyone who becomes a “Fan” or “Likes” The PEDIGREE Adoption Drive on Facebook. So far more than 1  million bowls have been donated.

Special for BlogPaws West: For each blog that posts about the PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive through September 19^th, PEDIGREE® will donate a bag of their new Healthy Longevity Food for Dogs to shelters nationwide. It’s simple: Write a post, help a dog.

• Thursday, September 16 through Sunday, September 19,  the Pedigree BlogPaws bloggers will host a Blog Hop, to help raise awareness for the “Write a post, help a dog” effort.
It is so easy to make a big difference. Please set aside a few moments to write a post. Include the bullet points above.  Copy the pics if you’d like. Add whatever you’d like in addition to help get the message out. Because this is not limited to pet bloggers, there is tremendous potential. Know bloggers in other categories that might be interested? Please share this post with them, write one of your own, and be here Thursday to leave a link to your post. Let’s make this huge. It would just feel great.

So glad I am not a Golden.....
