Wordless Wednesday. 8-18.

From Answers.com: On Wednesdays all over the internet, bloggers post a photograph with no words to explain it on their blog. Hence the ‘wordless’ title. The idea is that the photo itself says so much that it doesn’t need any description.

Guest Blogger: Local Dog Has Meltdown Moment

The following is an email that one of my best friends “J” sent me yesterday.  It was too adorable to keep to myself.  Don’t I have talented, funny friends?  I love me some girlfriends!!  Earlier this year, @kidtogrownup and I hosted a Twitter party and “J” was right there to donate prizes.

Local Dog Has Meltdown Moment

(West TX)  Three month old standard poodle, Louie B, described his reaction to being omitted from the most recent edition of Reader’s Digest, which featured “Amazing Pets” as “heartbreaking”.  Louie stated, “I’m the cutest puppy alive, and that in itself, is amazing. I can’t believe they left me out.  They put a surfing pug on the cover. Puh-leeese!”  The puppy continued, “I hate them. I will eat every Reader’s Digest that is within 2 miles of my yard. After they are shredded on the floor, I will let you guess what I will do to them next!”

In a fit of anger and boredom after flipping through the August, 2010  “Amazing Pets” edition, the puppy laid on the floor and cried, “I hate this camera, too. The pictures my mom took with it made me look fat, so I’m eating it, too!”

Described by his mother as a “sweet puppy” who has occasional bursts of wild-eyed romping, Louie appeared much calmer after destroying the magazine. When asked how he felt later that day, the amber colored poodle replied, “If a magazine came to your house and had the sexiest people alive on the front cover, and none of them were you, wouldn’t you be upset? I’m French. What did you expect?”

Before racing out of the room to find his stuffed frog squeaky toy, Louie offered this bit of wisdom. “Some days you’re the floor. Some days you’re the peepee. Learn to tell the difference. Stop and smell the poo in your own yard before you smell the poo in your neighbor’s yard. And always use your puppy-dog eyes to fool your people. It will work every time. This Reader’s Digest thing will be over by nap time. I’m over it, and I’m not sorry for what I did.”

This is Frazy.  You can read about her here.

I {Heart} Faces Pets Challenge.

This week, I ♥ Faces is focusing on the precious faces of our pets.  This is one of the loves of my life, Frazy.  Frazy is short for Frazier. Frazier, as in the television show that featured Eddie, Martin’s dog.  When Frazy first arrived at our house, we thought she looked like Eddie, and somehow Frazy came out of that.  (Don’t ask.) Most of the time we call her Crazy Frazy.

Frazy came to us around Mother’s Day of 2009.  Our neighbor was driving past a small town which sits on a busy highway and saw Frazy, and a chicken, sitting by the side of the road.  Frazy would have been about 3 months old at the time.  The neighbor was afraid Frazy would be run over, so he picked her up and brought her home.  He was driving a pickup truck and said she crawled up behind his neck and sat there the rest of the trip.  We have often wondered what the chicken thought when she saw her buddy driving off in a truck.  Did she want to come, also?

Said neighbor already had two dogs at his house so he brought Frazy to our house.  Little J had been asking for a dog for quite a while and Big J and I had been discussing it.  Frazy seemed the answer to that request.  We took her to the vet to be looked over and scanned for a chip but none was found.   It looked like she was ours. Little did we know what we were bringing into the house!

Frazy is a Jack Russell and therefore, vibrates with energy 24/7.  She is so full of love and playfulness.  She has her favorite toys, and when I ask her if she wants a treat, she licks her lips.  She loves to curl up in my lap while I rub around her ears.  Thank you, Frazy, for loving me unconditionally and bringing joy to my life.

There are many, many, many, many, many more pet faces over on I ♥ Faces.  Go check them out!
