GABE

We are so late to jump aboard with Twinkie's First Annual International Animal Blogging Event (whew!), but wanted to climb on the bandwagon to pawticipate in this pawsome happening. I've been seriously AWOL lately and I believe it's time to consider firing my typist. However... we'll cover that in the near future. Since many of you know Ozzie's and my "histoire," I'll briefly tell you that both of us found our furever homes here, just north of San Francisco - Ozzie came here in 2006, and I followed about a year later. It took us a while to come to terms with each other, but now, Ozzie actually scratches her back by running through my legs, figure-8 style to greet me. We live with Mom and Dad and are lucky to have lots of cool visitors - hu-son, Anthony and his spouse, Cheryl who bring the newest grandpeep, Emma. We often hear the doorbell ring, only to find the other grandpeeps, Hannah and Cameron. Cam's been a constant companion for the last few days and will be back again tomorrow - yay! We have pawsome times together at all sorts of parks! I do obedience (Ozzie is sorely lacking here) and recently earned my CD title. Now Mom is teaching me furry hard new moves that I need to do in order to get my "Open" title. Ozzie and I hope to meet more of you out there and give Paws Up to Twinkie for putting this super GABE event together! Thanks Twinkie! All commenters on this post up until midnite 4/18 will be eligible for the cool prize below. Just leave us a way to reach you! We will paw a random drawing for the treat dispenser (it's fun!) from the commenters here who are automatically entered for a chance to win, and post the winner on 4/19!


We look forward to getting to meet y'all! GABE and what Twinkie is doing here... ROCKS!

Oh boy? More giveaways? I must be a fool to not be participating in this! (To be honest, I didn't know that much about it, nor what day it was supposed to be on!)

Stella said...

Like Sam, I am not so much here for the giveaways, but just to see you and say Hi, Sammie!

That is such a good thing that you are learning so much. My Mom isn't much for teaching me, but now and then we try some stuff.

Kisses,
Stella

Hi there Samantha! Another new furiend thanks to GABE! Wasn't it a great idea that Twinkie had? Looking forward to learning more about you! Believe it or not I do obedience too (no CD yet, just an RN so far), so maybe you can give me some pointers!
