Cappy Barkday to Casper D. Dog - March 1, 2011

We hope you have a wonderful Barkday, Casper! We wish you a very long and healthy life filled with much love, fun adventures, many good friends, and a never-ending supply of toys and treats.

The discovery of Casper D. Dog’s blog was our first introduction into the blogging world and Siku's White Dog Diary Online was the catalyst for the beginning of Cappy Days, first appearing on January 16, 2010.  Both blogs are very special to us.

Hugs and yips,
Cappy and Ollie

NOVAtions

Hi, Nova here.

I'm taking over Cappy's blog.  My  Grandpawrents flew to Michigan to see me and Sadie -- oh yes -- and to see my brother Cayden.(Grandpaw had never seen him in person.)

Cappy and Ollie had been staying at the *Doggie Motel* in Morgan Hill -- how sad - they were dropped off on Valentine's Day.  The good news is that my sister Jessica picked them up today and now they'll be spoiled beyond belief.

I'll do my best to do Cappy proud and adhere to his high standards of journalism.  He told me that he had received the Peabody Award for broadcast journalism, but I seriously think that he's suffering from
delusions of grandeur and is confusing himself with Walter Cronkite.  However, Cappy IS definitely a PEEbody.

 As most of you will remember,  I'm an extremely handsome, robust and gregarious Border Collie mix.  I live in Michigan with my sister, Sadie Mae who is very camera-shy.

Here's a rare picture of Sadie. Well, enough about her.

I'm going to hog the spotlight for a while and suck everyone into a vortex of happiness.

If you want to see more photos of us, please refer to Cappy's July 2010 blog.

My little brother has settled in nicely, but it's a lot of work for me and Sadie.  Sadie had been a Mom herself, so she's overly concerned when she hears the baby cry.

I'm just checking Cayden to make sure that he's comfortable.

Here's Grandpaw and Cayden -- asleep on his shoulder.

Another picture:

Obviously the Grandpawrents are afraid he's going to starve.

Grandma and Cayden:

Grandma must miss Cappy and Ollie very much, because she keeps telling Cayden, "You're such a good little doggie."
Grandma seems so normal when you first meet her . . .


Being a Big Brudder is VERY hard work.

Have a great Sunday Everyone !



Cappy Valentine's Day !

Ollie and I would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.

. . . and a Feliz Día de San Valentín a Lorenza.

We hope that you have a fun-filled day with an abundance of of treats and lots of love.

*Cappy* Birthday Lauren

We want to wish our sister Lauren a very Cappy Birthday.

Please make sure that you save some ice cream cake for Nova and Sadie.

We wish that we could all be together to celebrate with you.

Hugs, kisses, woofs and yips . . .

A Trip to the Doggie Park . . . and a BATH (? ! ? !)

Saturday was a gorgeous day in Morgan Hill and so off we went to the Dog Park. I was on my *best* (???) behavior and actually allowed other people to sit on the benches near me without barking my head off.  You can see Ollie in the bottom left corner checking out a little girl.  He'll always be a womanizer.

Ollie had to read all the *pee mail*.

I left a couple of messages of my own.

Mom took pictures of her favorite dogs (other than us). Needless to say, they were all from the *Spitz* family and resembled me.
Here's a little Pom named Pooh-Bear.  He was utterly charming and very friendly.

Here are  two more cuties - Natasha, the mini female ME and Monica, the Pom.
Monica was very amiable, but Natasha had my "Look" and and my ferocious bark.  Mom had to keep her distance.  

Just as we were thinking that this had been the perfect day, I heard that dreaded four letter "B" word - BATH ! ! ! 

What did we do to deserve this?  I hope this isn't the start of a new routine.
Dad changed into his "dog grooming attire" and grabbed me first.

"Hey Dad, a little warmer water  ~~ PLEASE !!!"

 Next it was Ollie's turn.  Does this look like a happy face?

 A great ending to an "almost" perfect day.

Mom was the one only left standing. 


Have a great Sunday Everyone !!!

The *Deadbeat Bloggers* are FINALLY Back !!!

  
Through no fault of our own, we've been MIA again. Mom and Dad were in New Jersey finishing the renovations on Grandma's house. 


The entire process necessitated 3 bi-coastal trips to rid the house of  52 years of clutter and to complete the updates.  The decor was straight from the 60s and 70s and upon entering the house, one would have expected to be greeted by the Partridge Family. 

My sister Jessica, sagacious real estate mogul and expert home stager that she is, even managed to find renters for the New Jersey house ~~ working from California. She was instrumental in the orchestration of the carpet,  paint, granite and cabinet selection. Needless to say, she was too busy to let us post or comment on other blogs.

Ollie and I detest any dramatic changes in our normal routine and were still feeling crestfallen and despondent, when sunshine came pouring through the mail in the form of personalized bandanas from Siku and the White Dog Army. 
(The Cavalry to the rescue . . .)

 They fit perfectly and are absolutely adorable !!!

If you click on the picture, it will enlarge and display the 
doggie details.

Now we're definitely *Chick Magnets* and look as if  we had just stepped off the cover of GQ Magazine.  
 
Here we are -- for your viewing pleasure . . .

 A big THANK YOU, along with yips, yaps, hugs and kisses to you Siku (Five-Star General White Dog), to your Army and to your Housekeeping Staff. 

We definitely need that.

Cappy Holidays to Everyone !

Have an *Ollie* Jolly Christmas

and a 

*Cappy* New Year

May beautiful moments and happy memories surround you with joy this Holiday Season.

Cappy and Ollie

and

Their Housekeeping Staff,

Marcy and Tom
