Check me out! I look so handsome after my morning at the groomers. I go to Tiny Tails which is a small breed groomer in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Kristin groomed me and added this stylish scarf to give my new look some flair.

Prairie kibble, my new dog food

pra
Nutritious food is extremely important in keeping me active, strong and healthy. My mommy recently switched my food to Prairie Lamb Meal & Oatmeal Medley. The foods I am fed are picked for their nutritional value and whether they meet my dietary needs. She rotates my food regularly because the same way you don’t like eating the same thing everyday, neither do I! Prairie kibble contains no corn, wheat or soy and is specially formulated for rotation feeding. Below are the ingredients in my new yummy and healthy food. I don’t understand some of these ingredients but my mom researched each one on the following link: INGREDIENT SEARCH

Shaped as little teddy bears they are USDA organic, kosher certified and I can share this snack with my mommy.

My annual doctors visit

guf's annual check-up
This traumatizing day began on a gloomy thursday morning. I should’ve known by the clouds in the sky that today wasn’t going to be one of my favorite days. It was the annual poke guf day! We arrived at my veterinarian and they all ooh’d and ahh’d when they saw me: how adorable! so cute! hi little guy! I’d really prefer if they had said I could just go home! The doctor examined me and told my mommy i’m in great health however he poked me with a needle anyway! If i’m healthy why do I need a rabies vaccine?! Needless to say I wasn’t too happy with this doctor! My mommy asked for my yearly revolution flea & tick drops and off we went. The only good thing that came out of this day of torture was my pet store shopping trip where I picked out a yummy bone.

Flushing Meadow Park fun with my friend Fozzy

Hi everyone!!

We had such great weather in NYC this weekend! My friend Fozzy* and I took full advantage and headed to Flushing Meadow Park on Sunday. This was my first time going out in public with my friend Fozzy and um…..hmmm….how to put this nicely……he’s crazy! He would bark, cry, howl at every passing dog causing all the dogs in the park to start barking. Regardless of Fozzy’s looney ways I had a great time on our park outing. After our walk we set up our blanket and had ice cold water. It was a very relaxing day sitting under the tree with the breeze flowing through our fur.

*Fozzy’s real name is Ivan. I personally think Fozzy suits him better therefore I have changed his name!

My first beach day of 2009

It was a lovely New York City weekend therefore I headed to the beach.  Took a lovely train ride to Astroland Park, strolled on the boardwalk and proceeded to soak in the sun and sand.  I strolled the beach taking in all the sights and tinking on things along the way.  My mom laid out a blanket for us to rest, drink cool water and have a snack………..I took this opportunity to attempt digging a hole to bury my mom in the sand.  I must report that I did not succeed as the pictures will show.  I started digging by her leg however after a couple of minutes I realized she is too big and it would take me the entire day!  Instead I decided to sit and eat the wonderful chicken snack she brought me.
