Give me liberty, but not a bath
So just where have I been lately? (Aside from the obligatory storm prep, of course.) Good question. Among other things, I was beset by allergies, went to a conference, took Bella to the vet, attended a wedding, hung out with friends, and gave Bella a bath. I meant to blog as well, but it just didn’t happen. I guess I needed a bit of a break.
(I’m sorry I missed Friday’s link roundup. However, if you need a dose of linky goodness, check out my guest post over at Kol’s Notes!)
I’m hoping to schedule a few posts today before the inevitable power outage, but we’ll see how far I get. The storm may have other ideas.
In any event, the photo below represents how Bella felt about this entire weekend. On Saturday, she visited the vet, where she was poked and prodded. She has allergies and a slight bacterial infection on her paws, so she’s now the victim of a medicated spray twice daily, in addition to antibiotics and a weekly sponge bath of her legs with medicated shampoo. The vet also recommended a full bath with the medicated shampoo to kick things off. Bella did not approve. Talk about making me feel guilty…

Portrait of an unhappy Bella
I realize I’ve been a bit MIA of late… allow me to make it up to you with a photo of Bella. (Given that I took this photo at the vet on Saturday, I still have to figure out how to make it up to Bella. She looks rather Henri-esque here, if you ask me.)
I’ll be attempting to catch up on the blog while I still have power; however, the impending storm may have other ideas. My power tends to go out when someone sneezes, so I won’t be surprised if it’s more of the same this time. Anyway…

All hail the canine football fan…
Bella and Tavish were hanging out on the sofa earlier today, watching football with the hub. He snapped this photo of Bella – I guess her team was having a rough day.

#K9Kamp: Hold on a doggone minute
Wow… we just finished the third K9 Kamp challenge. How did that happen? I guess time does fly when you’re having fun.
This week’s challenge was called Just One Doggone Minute to Win It. This challenge recognizes that sometimes life gets in the way of staying fit. However, we all have some free minutes in there, so Kampers were encouraged to find a way to make those minutes count! Read on to find out how we did… Continue reading
Sleeping Bella, moving bloggy…
Well, it’s finally happening. I set a goal for myself in January – to move the blog to a self-hosted WordPress site by June. June is right around the corner… and thanks to my tech-savvy hubby, I will be making the move this weekend!
So, if all goes well, you’ll be able to find me at www.wantmorepuppies.com, starting this weekend. (If you go there now, it’s very much a work in progress. Patience, grasshopper.) In theory, this site will redirect you to the new one once it’s ready to go, but I wanted to give you the new address just in case.
My fingers are crossed that all of my posts (and especially your awesome comments) survive the move intact. If you’re a feed subscriber, the plan is to transition without disrupting your subscription – I’m all out of fingers, so I’ll cross my toes on that one.
There will be more changes to come, as I play with design elements and the like – so I hope you’ll bear with me once we make the move!
Due to the move, there will be no Friday linkage this week. I’ll make it up to you soon. Until then, enjoy this video documenting Bella’s contribution to the move…
Happy Friday!
White dogs can’t catch…
I was obviously going for a play on White Men Can’t Jump, but I don’t think it worked that well. Technically, I should have called this post “this brown and white dog can’t jump” – however, that seemed even less catchy.
Anyway, I’ve mentioned that Bella doesn’t know how to catch. She must have missed the day in dog school where they taught that one. She tries to catch things with her paws instead of with her mouth. It’s adorable, but ineffective.
See? Adorably ineffective.
Bella Bowl VI
The cutest present under the tree?
Christmas: it’s not the getting. It’s not the giving. It’s the loving.
I wish you a Christmas full of love, joy, and puppy kisses!
