Long-Winded Wednesday...
Avalon: I also think Mamma did a poor job this year. While I like my princess outfit, it's waaaay too small. Okay...okay, I'm petite, but today, I am feeling especially fat, cause this costume is size LARGE!!!
Don't you think my Howl-o-ween threads were totally more stylin' last year?

My First Open A Obedience Trial at Del Valle

And Part II...
After these tests, I had to go back in the ring with other doggehs to do "Sits and Downs," where I have to Sit for 3 Minutes while Ma is out of the ring away from my sight, then Down for five minutes with Mom out of sight. Even if I've done good on my exercises, I can just as easily get an NQ if I get up from a down, or ... the reverse. I stayed on both and Mom was patting me hard and finally giving me treats when I got back to my area!!! Then imagine all our surprises when...

A moment around the campfire... above... and...

Pawesome Pressies from Sugar!
Here is how we found Sugar's package on our doormat.

It's hard to have a smiley face while I wait forever for Ma to get us one of Sugar's treats that we find inside the box!

3. Pass this award on to 15 blogger pals (or not-yet-pals)
4. Comment on the blog award recipients
5. Heheh: Have fun!
So: what we are gonna do is have moi, Sammie, tell 5 things about me; then, Avalon will paw 5 things about her. Here goes:
1. Since Emerald told us we got this award cause we loves the water so much, I guess it's no secret that we adores swimming!
2. Most of my pals couldn't possibly know how much I loves foodables or even non-foodables.
3. And I can't imagine that y'all know how much I loves chasing my kong hehehe!
4. How many of you know that I have this propensity for eating poo? Especially horsie droppings?
5. I absolutely loves my Dad and am all over him when he gets home at night. (He always takes me for a walkie, which I adore.) And here's Avalon:
6. I like duckies.
7. I absolutely tutely am in loves with my sisfur, Sammie.
8. Good things happen when Ma puts us in the car.
9. I have a passion for and even know what the word, COOKIES, means.
10. I love my home and everything in it and that means Sammie, Mom and Dad.

1. Write 7 things about us - since we just told you lotsa stuff, we're going to embarrass Ma and have her do the telling hehehe!
2. Pass this award onto 15 blogger pals.
3. Link back to the givers of this award and comment on the Blog award recipients.
Okay... here goes...
1. I love being semi-retired!
2. I am horribly disorganized. Since I tend to procrastinate, this is definitely a problem.
3. Life here is very dog and grandchildren-centered, which makes life somewhat hectic at times!
4. The next year will have to be intensely focused as my husband is retiring in September 2011, and we'll be making a lot of changes. You'll hear about it in the poor dogs' blog!
5. I am frustrated by not getting to our bloggie pals' posts as much as I'd wish - ironic how I take the pups out to play, take photos, and then race back to upload and blog, when I really should be doing the laundry or something.
6. I'm dying to find software for movies! That works!
7. Someday, I wanna unnderstand about Photoshop!
And that's it, kids! I'm gonna be a wimp and ask, PLEASE, that for anyones who do not have these awards to kindly take them and tell us a little bit about yourselves, your doggehs or your maiden aunt?? We love hearing about your foibles and loves!
