Two to Four

My Mom said that I shall always be her little puppy. But then I heard the news…

I’ll be 4 years old in two days time. Aaaaaaaaaaargh!

There’s just Two Days left till I turn Four. I feel a howl of protest coming on… AaaaOoooooooooooo!!!

The years do have this habit of sneaking up on you… sigh!

So am I a big girl now?

‘Tis The Season…

Merry Christmas to all you legged, winged and crawly creatures, and everyone who shares space on Earth. I wish you love, peace, camaraderie, an unbiased heart and mind and the ability to let everyone just be…

Happy Holidays… Good Cheer… And Go Slow On That Rum!!!

Girl Dogs Rule!

I’ve grown since the last time we posted. In another couple of months I’ll be completing my 4th year. Gee… time does fly, doesn’t it?

So for all you good and lovely people out there who love dogs and are therefore special to me… Hello once again from me and remember that though I love everyone and every creature on this planet, I still think that…

… Girl Dogs Rule!

I’m 2 !!!

I turned 2 on the 22nd and Ave baked me a paw shaped liver and chicken cake … which was droolsome!!! It drove me nuts while it was in the oven, but it was well worth the slobber that Ave had to mop up while I waited 🙂

Happy Birthday to Me... Happy Birthday to Me...

Happy Birthday to Me… Happy Birthday to Me…

My grandpa, grandma and a couple of friends called to wish me, and we also had some friends bearing gifts over at lunch, which made my day really special.

And then I got a batch of extra-large bone shaped gourmet biscuits that Ave made the day before.

Yummmmmmmieeeee!!!

Yummmmmmmieeeee!!!

Am I a lucky girl or what???

What a wonderful journey these past couple of years have been, from the time I was a teeny tiny puppy wondering if there was a life beyond my crate and away from my brothers and sisters…

Yup, that's me (photo courtesy: Petsitters, Pune)

2014 … A Year in Pictures

2014 was a great year for me. Tons of new things, new adventures, loads of good food, but most important of all were the friends I made!

Here’s a colourful and artistic look at the year that was…

I could go on and on. I have so much to share, but…

Life’s a human with a head full of good excuses!!!

I’d like to start with an apology for being away for so, so long. As usual it wasn’t my fault, I didn’t have anything to do with it. It wasn’t me. It was the human. And to think the Good Lord chose to give them opposable thumbs. How can anyone be so lazy? Honestly!

Speaking of lazy, you wouldn’t believe what Ave has me doing now.

Fetching my own leash!!!

Shocking isn’t it? Just when I thought I had her all trained, there she goes and turns the tables on me. And what do I get for it. A pat on the head and a “good girl Zara, you’re the cleverest puppy in the whole world”. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t appreciate the praise but a nice treat would have made the deal a lot sweeter. Oh, she does have an excuse for it though. Apparently my stomach’s been out of whack recently so I’m off treats. Can’t even get a stick of my favourite Jerhigh Dog Treats.

Life’s a human with a head full of good excuses!!!

But I shouldn’t crib so much, things have been good otherwise.

1. I’ve been hanging out with my pal Sharon

2. The upset stomach meant eating cans and cans of Hills Prescription Diet… which is really delicious. I normally hate, and I mean hate packaged dog food, wet or dry, but this is something else.

By the way, those opposable thumbs came in handy to get the can opened.

Life’s not so bad after all 🙂

(Disclaimer: Please check with your vet before buying or consuming dog treats or food that I may mention on this blog. While they may work for me, they may not be good for you.)

Love and Woofs!!!

If there’s a Birthday… there’s got to be Gifts!!!

As you know I completed a year on the 22nd. A big ‘Thank You’ to everyone who wished me here and on my Facebook Page as well as in person.  Though I do have a question for you…

My human family gave me loads of treats and best of all, a new BIG bear for my harem… 😉

Purple is now joined by Pink... hope you guys become friends

I also have a large stuffed dog that I hump on occasion but he’s convalescing post surgery. Which kind of makes me grateful that I don’t have seams, even though I do get unraveled at times. But that’s quite another matter and I should not digress….

So, back to birthdays and gifts and…  Look what we made as little keep-sakes for our family and friends.

Check out these neat little gift bags which went out to all my little human friends. They were thrilled 🙂 and the badges were a big hit.

At the end of the day, everyone had a great time.  And that made my day extra special 🙂
