TOBY UPDATE

Woof everypups. Toby here. First I'd like to say thank you for all of the get well wishes and healing vibes that were sent from all of our doggie pals out there in the Doggiesphere. I really appreciate the gesture. I'm feeling a little better today but there is still swelling around my eye and jaw and it hurts really bad to eat doggie biscuits, which really bites! So I'm on a soft food only diet for awhile(squirrels and rabbits are soft, aren't they?). The Doggie Doc isn't really sure what the problem is, she's thinking that I might have been stung by a scorpion or bit by a spider so she's going to treat it with antibiotics for a week. If there is no change by then, it's back to the Doggie Hospital for more tests. Mom says I can go to Gucci's party but since I'm on medication I have to be the Designated Barker(I'll bring some Rimadyl for you, MJ)

This is me and my human girlfriend Deanne. Every time I have to go to the Doggie Doctor, Deanne is always waiting for me and treats me like I'm the last dog on earth. She's really pawsome.

PUPPY PRAYERS FOR TOBY

Desert Pup's Mom here. Just wanted to let all of the Pup's good friends out there know that Toby is very sick. It seemed to happen suddenly. His right eye is swollen and he has swelling on the right side of his face and down his jaw and he is unable to open his mouth without extreme pain. I spoke with the Doggie Doctor tonight and she had me give him a Benadryl for the swelling and a Rimadyl for the pain. Tomorrow I am going to take him to the Doggie Hospital. I don't know what is wrong with him and if any of you pups out there have heard of a similar ailment please let me know. Please cross your paws and say your puppy prayers for him. Thank you very much.

pee-ess: hopefully the Doggie Doctor will fix him up in time for Gucci's party. It just wouldn't be the same without Toby. And the Pup's are still gonna try to pick all of the pups up in the jet that needed a ride to the party.

TOBY, THE MERLION-DOG

COCOA AND BARLEY (TWO CRAZY PUPS FROM SINGAPORE) POINTED OUT THE AMAZING RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN TOBY AND MERLION. MERLION WAS AN ANCIENT CREATURE WITH THE HEAD OF A LION AND THE BODY OF A FISH WHO SAVED THE VILLAGES OF TEMASEK(ANCIENT SINGAPORE) FROM A VIOLENT STORM. SO MAYBE WE SHOULD CALL TOBY THE MERLION-DOG.

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY BASH

Rumor has it that our friend Party Girl Gucci is throwing a huge Barkday Bash on October 1st. Now we can't speak for the rest of you pups but you can bet that Desert Pups will be there, with doggie biscuits in one paw and beer in the other(Sorry Gucci, Mom said no to the Cat Pinata). And we'll try to keep the coyotes away, though they did spice up Toby's party just a bit. Now if we can only figure out what to get Gucci for a present.

GOOFY NICKNAMES FOR DOGS

Just a lazy Sunday morning, the way Sunday mornings were meant to be. At least until the race or a football game comes on T.V. Anyway, we were just hanging out in the back yard talking about the silly little nicknames that Mom sometimes will use when she talks to us. One of her favorites names to call us is Pooch Wooch. 'Are you hungry, Pooch Wooch?' 'Want a biscuit, Pooch Wooch?' and so on. It's a little embarrassing when our neighbor Duke is over to visit. Another name she calls us is 'Freakoid Puppies'. That one's not too bad, we'll take it over Pooch Wooch. Or she just numbers us, Scuba is Dog Number One, Keiko is Dog Number Two, Norman is Dog Number Three and Toby is Dog Number Four. Just a little impersonal, Mom. Then there are the days when she tries to make our names rhyme with something, anything, whether it makes sense or not. Norman always comes out ahead with that because he's got the 'Stormin Norman' label. That's a good one. But 'Scuba Puba?' OH MY DOG! Please stop. How about 'Tober Topper' for Toby? No self respecting canine is gonna answer to that one. Or what about 'Baby Cakes' for Keiko? Holy Puppy Poop! No wonder she's a little insecure. So we want to know from the rest of the pups out there, do you have to endure the Goofy Name Game as we do or is your human normal?

PARTY PICTURES



Toby's birthday bash was a smashing success! All of the pups had a great time.











Maggie and Mitch brought along some very tasty Peppermint Ice Cream.









Party Dawg Duke had a barking good time.











Willow and Norman enjoyed the food.










Keiko loved the Milkbone pinata.












The Party B's danced all night long.












The Thundering Herd mushed over from Carolina.







Cousins Yeller and Scout enjoyed the balloons and beer.








Scuba enjoyed the beer too.











THEN......WHEN THE COYOTES CRASHED THE SCENE....

and went after Maggie and Mitch and the Peppermint Ice Cream....



EVERYTHING GOT A LITTLE CRAZY!

Roxy noticed the neighbor's cat in the tree near the Milkbone pinata. Hmmm...she has an idea.




Khyra wins the drinking game but needed to take a rest.






MJ had to deal with a persistent coyote.....Sorry Big Boy, she's taken.







Suka was looking for more than beer. "Hey Meatloaf, got any peyote?"





Peanut and Flash just had to see who could out drink who.








Luckily the Three Heelers kept a lookout.







And then.........


The police helicopter arrived on the scene and the pups scattered, hiding where they could.




Woops, one of the Heelers got busted. Guess we're gonna need bail money.





AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE DESERT PUPS ARE DONE FOR THE NIGHT.

THANKS TO ALL THE PUPS WHO MADE IT TO TOBY'S PARTY. WE HAD A HOWLING GOOD TIME.

WE LOVE SUKA AND MJ


We are so embarrassed because we forgot to nominate our good friends
Suka and MJ for this award (we blame Mom and that dumb job interview thingy). Suka and MJ have been good friends to us(even though Suka got a little out of control at Toby's party and went streaking though the neighborhood, howling at the moon. And MJ, well, she was seen mixing it up with one of the coyotes). But that's OK, a lot of pups went a little crazy at the party. In fact one of our neighbor's cats hasn't been seen since and everyone seems to think that Roxy and MJ had something to do with it. Anyway, Suka and MJ, this award is for you.

BLOG OF THE DAY AWARD

Woo-Woo, we've won the BLOG OF THE DAY AWARD. TOTALLY PAWSOME AND TIME TO CELEBRATE (JUST AS SOON AS WE FINISH CLEANING UP AFTER TOBY'S BIRTHDAY BASH).

PEE ESS: MOM IS STILL WORKING ON THE PHOTOS FROM TOBY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY. THERE WERE A LOT OF PUPS FROM ALL OVER THAT BEAMED DOWN AND SHE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL PUPS ARE INCLUDED. HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE NO PHOTOS SHOWN OF THE CAT PINATA (THE NEIGHBOR'S CAT). MOM'S AFRAID THAT PETA WOULD USE IT USED AS EVIDENCE IN A COURT CASE.

OUT OF CONTROL

Desert Pup's Mom here. Sorry the pups aren't posting today, they're stretching this birthday party as far as they can and it's still going strong. We had both the Sheriff and State Police here last night telling the pups to keep the music down. It seems that a few coyotes managed to sneak into the party last night, had a few too many and proceeded to taunt the domesticated dogs. 'You're stuck inside the fence' and 'Your mama has two legs' were the favorite insults. It caused a bit of a ruckus with Toby, Norman and Duke getting into some growling, snapping fights with them. Believe me, this is the last time I let them plan the party. Oh, got to go, one of the pups is using the neighbor's cat as a piƱata.
