I Spent The Day With Mom
We had a busy week-end here. I went with mom to a puppy fair - yep, a puppy fair. It was at a clinic in Knoxville and we had a ball. Mom got a lot of people interested in Trupanion - so that was great - but mostly I got a LOT of attention!!!! The vet sponsoring the day chose little 'ole me to be the one he held when interviewed by the TV stations - so I was all over the news on Saturday night. Then I got to meet the famous LADY VOLS - and they liked me way better than that smelly dog SMOKEY - Here are pictures from the day.
I saw a doggie that I thought was TANK - and I ran up to him - The silly thing totally freaked out - wouldn't even let mom get his picture!!!!
There was a guy there from the doggie bakery - he kept trying to give me treats - but he quickly discovered that I'm picky. He agreed to make some cheese sticks special for me so mom will go by later this week and see if I like those.
Please forgive mom for not visiting bloggies too much - but she is really busy! We'll try to get around this week.
Wow, you were on TV???? Pawesome, Checkers. And you met the Lady Vols, hope you told them to watch out for our UConn Husky gals - we love to watch them play each other. Good ole Geno Auriemma and Pat Summitt - great matches.
Wow Checkers! You are gonna be famous. At least I will be able to say I knew you before you got famous. It is a good thing that your mom is so busy....means more treats for you. Snuggles, Twix
Checkers, that is so cool. You are famous, maybe someday I can have your pawdograph. I miss you, I hope to see you soon. I know Mom has been busy, Moms have to do things sometimes.
It looks like you had a pawsome day my love... I hope you didn't see those photos of me in my wedding dress that Bark Kent posted on my blog. Mummy asked Diana to make Tahlia and I matching Christmas dresses fur our Christmas card photo this year. They are furry cute :) Has your wedding collar arrived yet? If not, it should get there furry soon. I hope you like it. Big licks to you Suzuki xxx
