My TV Commercial Debut for the Virginia Beach SPCA

Here is my long awaited commercial for the Virginia Beach SPCA as posted on their website.

Things are a changin' a bit

Lots a stuff goin' on this past month. Sorry I (we) haven't written. Here goes.
Easter was good. We sent that wabbit hoppin' down the bunny trail.
The Mom had a milestone birthday party and we were not invited.  I guess they did not want us doing too much butt sniffing. She did have a kick ass cake....we were on it! Check out the picture. We are the dogs, not those raccoons that Mom has been cheatin' with. The good news was that Joey and Drew were here so we both gots loads of attention and treats. Note Mom's wine glass and flip flops also. Thanks, Deb and Cake Couture.

Then the Mom ate something bad and stayed in the bed and the bathroom for about 3 days. I can't imagine eating anything bad. So, Dad walked us both, not at the same time though. I enjoyed it, Iris probably not so much. She spent a lot of time with Mom.
Then the Dad goes back to work. Well, I thought that would kinda suck as far as the walkies go, but he is managing admirably. And, bringing home some bacon. WE WANT BACON!

Happy Gotcha Day to Iris

Iris has been with me, and the Mom and the Dad for one full year! WOOF! She is a goofball, but a loveable goofball!
Her training is still a work in progress, but she sure has come a long way. She is a lucky dog.  Mom has all the patience in the world.
She still plays with her food and doesn't WOLF it down like normal Labbies. But, I have learned to steer clear of her food bowl. She may not want to eat, but she doesn't even want you to so much as even LOOK at her bowl. Just ask Sasha!
Iris is not exactly an Olympic swimmer either, but she can play with the hose for hours on end! Did I say she was a goofball?
From Iris: I am lucky and I know it. You should try the hose, labradork!

Vacation is over

The Florida vacation is over and we are back in Virginia Beach. It is cold here. Yes REALLY! Florida was quite warm but I'm talking 39 degrees here. It is making us old doggies a bit frisky. We were in the car about eight hours today, mostly sleeping, mind you. Iris was surprisingly good on this, her second Florida trip with the family. Her car manners are improving. She still has an annoyingly LOUD BARK as soon as we enter a rest area.....I guess she KNOWS there will be other dogs there. But, she is better in her travel harness and we only had to stop twice to untangle the goofball.
From Iris: I just love my car rides, the longer the better!!

I guess it's official........

......I am off the knee!
Mom was just sitting on the lanai having a glass of wine and there goes Iris....right up on the love seat to keep her company. And the next thing I see....she is giving Mom a great big wet smooch! Now, it is pretty well known that I am a sniffer and a pretty good one at that. But, Iris is the LICKER! UGH!
From Iris.......I prefer white wine and it was a very nice New Zealand SB.
