Pawfile blog - *Pawfile* Cute name for a doggie blog

aren't cameras banned on doggie walk time. mom no think so since she brought hers today. its really nice out. 60* in february, thought this was winter.

mom is at again with the camera!! ugh!!! me tried to run but she had my duckie rope toy. here's a collage of what she "tried" to get me to do. then she made the big photo of the collage with my photo.

Mommy is supposed to be working. She's supposed to be writing. Instead, she's exploring Dogpawfile. Mommy is such a bad girl! We are waiting also to go out for some fresh air and she is on Dogpawfile. Mommy has Dogpawfile Fever!!!!

Woof! Mom and I were just out walking with my sister, Carla. We were walking and all of a sudden there was a puppy! Arf! What was this puppy doing out on the sidewalk at this time of the night alone? Oh no, I can't have this, I have to get this puppy back to his Mom in a tail waggin' second.

I immediately ran up to greet him, introduced myself and Carla; asked him his name and where was his Mom. His name was Chulo and was lost, he went onto bark that he got away from his Mom and she was unable to keep up. Mr MaGoo to the rescue! Arf! After all, Mom has trained me over the years to help others and tonight wasn't any different.

Woof! Are you lost? I am! Would you help me find my parents? You bet, Woof!

I held his paw and told him that both my Mom and I were here to help. I howled do you know where you came from; poor little guy was scared and didn't know which direction to go. Then, there it was! He not only had a collar and leash on, he had tags. Double woof!

I ran over to Mom and asked her for my iPaw. She pulls it out and I dial the digits that were on the tag, oh kibble, pawlease let the digits be correct. First set, I had to bark at this recording. Grrr I tried the second set of digits and a lady answered. Now, I am not one to give a description of my lost furiend; no bones about it, I asked the lady on the other end of my iPaw to describe my new furiend. Whew! She did with the greatest of kibble.

Chulo was returned to his Mom; what made this a yappy tail ending, his Mom kept Chulo's tags current.

Chulo returned to his Mom

Do your parents keep your information up to date? Run over to them and ask for a bark; one for yes and two that they need to update your information. Did it work? Are they using your iPaw to update?

Off to go and take a nap

Mr MaGoo

Thanks to a talented lady we have some wonderful paintings of us! She did Val's last year and mine just came in the Mail last week! Thank-You Auntie Annie

Oh pals, mom says I have come a pretty good ways since we first started class... I am not really a scared pup anymore.  I am gaining more confidence and I am actually paying more attention to mom in public. I am still not very treat motivated.  I actually prefer mom to praise me rather than give me a treat.   I am also more tolerant with other dogs sniffing me a lil bit but when they get over excited and start sniffing me too much I let them know that I am not comfortable anymore and not in a mean way.  Even the groomer said she noticed a differene in me.  Normally I am a big fraidie pants when she is grooming me but I didn't really shake at all while I was there... And the Thunder Shirt is working pretty good for me.  I don't shake in class.  So anywho I will be graduating next week I will try and post my picture with My cap on :) xoxoxoxo

Hope everpawdy is having a pawsome day, love Eliie.xxx

yum yum today is pancake day in england,
here is some history about this event if you don't know already,

Shrove Tuesday 2012 (Pancake Day)

In the UK, Shrove Tuesday is also known as Pancake Day (or Pancake Tuesday to some people) because it is the one day of the year when almost everyone eats a pancake.

In 2012 Pancake Day is on Tuesday 21 February

What is Pancake Day?

Pancake Day ( also known as Shrove Tuesday) is the last day before the period which Christians call Lent It is traditional on this day to eat pancakes. 

Why are Pancakes eaten on Shrove Tuesday?

Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself, and to use up the foods that aren't allowed in Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.

When is Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day)?

Shrove Tuesday is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday and is therefore the final day before the commencement of Lent, a Christian festival leading up to Easter Sunday (Easter Day).

Shrove Tuesday always falls 47 days before Easter Sunday, so the date varies from year to year and falls between 3 February and 9 March. (See our Lent page for a visual explanation why Shrove Tuesday is 47 days and not 41 days before Easter)

In 2011 Pancake Day will be on 8 March 2008 — 5 February
2009 — 24 February
2010 — 16 February

2014 — 4 March
2015 — 17 February

Why do Christians call the day 'Shrove Tuesday'?

The name Shrove comes from the old word "shrive" which means to confess. On Shrove Tuesday, in the Middle Ages, people used to confess their sins so that they were forgiven before the season of Lent began. copyright of projectbritain.com

Look into my eyes! Look deep into my big brown eyes! Aren't I just about the prettiest chihuahua you have ever seen? (giggle) Mommy says that a good name for me would have been Buttons, cuz my eyes and nose look like three big brown buttons. But I came to her with the name Tiny...she added Girl....I am Tiny Girl. The prettiest chihuahua Mommy has ever seen. (giggle)

Mommy just gave me a new toy. It's a giant chicken nugget (no, Peco, you can't have it!). Well, it WAS a chicken nugget. It took me just a few seconds to destroy the toy in search of the squeaker. WHAT? No squeaker??? Mommy removed it before she gave it to me! No fair!
