My dog takes her baby to bed

So I have this Collie Webkinz.
Actually, I have two.
They’re adorable and the other day I thought, “Hey, I have two, so why not share one with Lassie and Petal?”
So I dug one of them out. I give him to Petal every now and then when Penny is occupied with a Kong (she would kill him, haha).

One night I pulled him off the bookshelf and gave him to Petal saying, “Petal take your baby to bed!”
Then I was pleasantly surprised when she took him and carried him off to the couch where she had previously been sleeping.
I was also bummed that I hadn’t thought to record it.

Lucky for me she did it again the next day and this time I recorded it.
Ignore my squeaky little voice. I don’t know why I talk to Petal like that sometimes. Maybe because she’s so cute. Maybe I’m just insane, who knows.

Night night Petal and Nameless Baby!
What should we call her baby? Any suggestions?

P.S. I almost forgot!
Some of your guesses for what Petal was doing yesterday were very, very close! She was enjoying some frozen snacks out of her Kong. I don’t know why she was eating on her head. I’ve never seen her do that before, silly dog.
Your guys’ guesses were really amusing. I really liked the guess about her searching the cushion for goodies because she actually does that daily while making all sorts of snorting sounds in the cushions. It’s hilarious.

Patience

It’s a rainy day today, so we’re trapped inside.
As you can see silly things happen when we’re trapped inside. My little sister had fun messing with Petal’s face while I had fun taking pictures.
Petal is very patient, incase you hadn’t noticed. 😉

I could use a little more patience today. My laptop, after serving me faithfully for nearly seven years, may have finally bit the dust. It won’t charge anymore and it makes funny noises when you open it.
Neither one are good signs, I’m thinking.
So I downloaded the Blogger app and a few photo editing apps onto my iPod Touch. The Blogger app is lame. Why can’t I center the content of my post? (“But Marquie! This post IS centered!” you say; I’ll explain in just a moment). And why must you do such a crummy job of resizing my picture?

So I downloaded the Photobucket app, hoping I could resize the above image there.
I have yet to figure it out.

After growling at my iPod many, many times, I finally took up my sister’s offer to borrow her laptop. She even made me my own account.
I know. She’s awesome.

So here I am. Praise be the laptop.

The rain hail is pouring, pouring, pouring now!
Good thing I made Kongs this morning. Lassie, Petal and Penny can only nap for so long.

Just kidding. It’s done now… for now.
That’s Utah for you.

Sleepy Puppy

Zzzzz.

Penny outgrew her black puppy collar, so I fitted her in one of Ella’s old ones.
A bittersweet moment for me. I used one Ella hadn’t worn in a long while, just to make it easier for myself. A light blue collar with hearts that are wearing off; the collar I bought her from Target before I discovered the durable Dublin Dog collars (that saved me a boatload of money, if only I had discovered them sooner for Ella The Destroyer of Collars).

Penny is so much like Ella that I often wish I could’ve seen how Ella would’ve felt about having a mini-me around.
Would she have loved it? Or would it have annoyed her?
I miss that crazy dog.

Cheater!

Hey everyone, Petal here.
I’ve taken over the keyboard to warn all you doggies that my cousin, Penny, is a dirty, lousy, ankle biting, tail snatching cheater.

Don’t think this sweet little face is capable of cheating?
Well, you’re wrong. So wrong, friends.
Just look at the photographic proof!
Example number 1:
Here I am, minding my own business,

Then all of the sudden,

she came running out of no where and body slammed me!
Thud, right against my ribs.
Good thing I’m a super strong super hero and just laughed it off, like super strong pups do.

Example number 2:

Here we are, enjoying a lovely game of chase, but why is Penny running with her mouth wide open like that?

Looks like she’s getting ready to take a bite out of something, doesn’t she?
That’s because she is.

Yes, that IS my tail in her mouth! The little piranha!

You see, Penny is jealous of my spectacular speed, but instead of simply being faster, she grabs hold of my tail to keep up.
Cheater.

Case closed.
Penny is a cheater cheater, poopoo pumpkin eater.
But we still have fun.

Yours truly,
