More fun at Emmitts Partypalooza 2009

Hi everyone,



This Colorado is so beautiful. I have never smelled fresh air like this!



Here we are day 2 of the Partypalooza 2009. But before I begin , I wanted to fill you in on what else was going on last evening. Remember, I mentioned that something came driving up and all kinds of dogs and cats were making a dash to the house? The jiant taxi had come straight from the airport. If I thought we had a celebration going on before arrived- well you should see it now! Everyone was starved, so first of all- everyone ran into the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of meatloaf. I tell you what- that is the best meat loaf I have ever eaten and everyone agreed.


Some were asking for seconds- but no worries- there was plenty to go around. Emmitt had everything your heart desired.

Later we all headed down to the campfire. It was down by the lake. The warmth from the fire felt good, and we all sat snuggled close to each other, and told stories. And then I headed to bed, however some stayed up and partied.




Saturday morning,,,
Today, bright and early the activities began. A whole bunch of little dogs and big dogs were organizing a game called chase the big ball. That is when I noticed Maggie and Mitch were out there chasing the ball with Puggles, CG, Stubby, and Lexi. Then on another team was Tee, Chase, Pokey and Taco Belle. They are so athletic and fast. They would rumble and roll through the grass, and it looked like so much fun- so here I am joining in- chasing after a ball that got away from the gang! I am not sure I was cut out for this kind of activity- so I may look for something else to participate in.



The next game was called grab the froggie and run fast. I am quite good at this game, as you can see me running with the frog. It was a lot of fun. Pugley, Java, Melby, Moe and Maggie liked this game a lot. They are all good sports and we had fun. That's what it's all about- having fun.

Kong grabbed the frog and I found out how fast he could run!

It was not long before we heard a strange sounding motor stopping out in front-, It was followed by motor cycles and camera people. It was an odd looking limosine and it stopped.

The doors opened, and who do you think came out? It was Clementine and Winston! You know they are celebraties now, as they are going to be on Americas Funniest Videos on Sunday the 3 erd/. Not only a celebratie for that, but little Clementine won the award from Valentino for being beautiful. Look at all the camera people following them!

It was soo good to see Winston and Clemmie as I have heard so much about them. Yes Clementine is beautiful.

You can only imagine how hard it is, to keep track of everyone as they have arrived.
If I have missed anyone,,,, please know I have been looking for you!
Just when I think I am waiting for someone to arrive- there they are sitting on a bench together- for instance Suzukie and Checkers! I am not sure what they were talking about, good times I guess!

And there goes Hank , Gus and Waldo with their fishing poles. Where are they going?
Then we all heard an announcement- it was Emmitt on a loud speaker saying "Everyone come on up- I have an annoucement "Today is Harry Pugalicious birthday- so come on over here, and have some icecream and cake". Cake,,,, did we hear the word "cake"? Everyone ran over to the cake as Emmitt lead in birthday singing "Happy Birthday to Harry"! Harry blew out the candles as he made a special wish (which of course is a secret). And then everyone started grabbing mouth fulls of icecream and cake. What a sight! That was so good. And by the way, Emmitt can sing so good! Chase had almost a whole carton of icecream in his mouth!

There is so much to do! When everyone was done with the icecream and cake, some of us headed over to the pool. There, already jumping into the water, on the count of 3 was Cecil, Ty, and Pip. That was such a splash- like a tidal wave. Almost knocked me over. And then in the wading pool was Ollie and Honey. Pearl was laying on a towel, waiting for Harry.
I strained my eyes to see who was up on that skinny diving board, and it was Charlie! Charlie must think she is doing her obstacle course contest. Oh Charlie, I don't think you should jump,,,,, come on down! Come on down and we will go soak our paws in the wading pool.

Salinger was sunbathing with Feather, Darla, Pappy and Lizza Bella. They were all relaxing on some nice lounge chairs and they were all singing some song that sounded like " Lookin out My Back Door". Thier suntan lotion smelled like coconuts.

Soon it was time to go see some of those great hiking trails. Phantom, Dakota, and Thunder, all came marching by with hiking boots and back packs, and ropes. It looked to me like some serious hiking was about to take place. And then, charging from behind- miss Fluffy Tail Khyra, saying "Wait for me- I like hiking too!"

In the afternoon, Emmitt asked for all those who would like to go to the park , to line up in a row and hold hands. No taking chances of anyone getting lost. So we all marched hand in hand to the park, that is very special to Emmitt. It was a sight to see. The park was beautiful with shade trees and wading pools and sprinkers. We all sat in a big circle as we listened to Emmitt for a while. He told us stories of his mom Melissa, and how she helps make knitted bears - this is the story: about Mother Bear Project, to help the children in need and how you can help this effort. and how she volunteers her art work to help benefit resuced pugs.

And then Emmitt told us he wanted us to meet someone very special to him. We all sat quiet when all of a sudden, Emmitt whistled. Out from behind the bushes, came a little black pug- Olive was her name. She had a red ball in her mouth. She ran so fast, she almost tumbled in the grass! Emmitt ran to meet Olive, they rolled down a hill and laughed. You should have seen them frolocking about with the little red ball. Emmitt and Olive have been best friend forever. And because Olive was so special to Emmitt, he wanted us to meet her. ( This little Olive pug is portrayed in a book by Melissa@pugnotes.com) Emmitt talked to us about how important it is to have best friends, to laugh and share. And to kiss and make up , if someone steps on your toe. And now, that we have all met at this special party, we can all become best friends with each other - just as he and Olive. But we all must try to be a friend, and love each other.


As you can see , the day in winding down and it is time to get out the marshmellows and head down to you know where!

Yes, it's time to sit around the camp fire. So as we all sit paws to paws and toast our marshmellows, lets remember the fun we had today at Partypalooza 2009.

Emmitt is singing to us now, these are some of the words.,,,,

Now our day is over, and so much fun we had.

And though, nite is upon us- the memories rest in our heart.

We laughed in the sunshine, we sang and we played.

And now its time to remember all the good times that we had.

Thank you Emmitt for all the fun we had on day 2!

We love you

Nitey nite

The time of our lives at Emmitts party

Hi my friends.
I say let the music begin!
Here we all are at Emmitts house in beautiful Colorado. Kong (my guest) and I arrived, and you could tell by all the balloons in the yard and the music playing , that a big party was a happening. Dogs were everywhere in the yard and cats were in the trees! Cats in the trees? Is that you Jane , Alice and and Virus?
I thought it would be fun to invite a friend to travel with me to this big event. Kong and I had never met, but we have corresponded by writing. Kong agreed that he thought this would be something he would never forget and, we could share the experience together. Kong is a charming black pug, with the biggest brown eyes and sooo sweet. He loves kisses and food!
It's fun to make new friends! And what a way to share this experience!
When we arrived, our noses led us directly into the house,,,,, the smell of meat loaf! Meat loaf everywhere. I have never seen so much meatloaf, and food in my life. Snacks and popcorn galore!
And then,,,,,,, there was Emmitt, with a little apron, and hat on, tidying up, trying to keep everything in tip- top shape while his mom Melissa and daddy Fred are out of town ,to the art shows.

Emmitt came over to us and gave the best pug hug ever! What a gentleman! He told us to make ourselves to home, and to eat when ever we felt an inking to! He offered us a nice big bowl of cold water. Yum ! He is sooo cute. Have you ever seen a tail so adorable? Have you ever seen an expression like his? Look at his smile. I know you have seen it- you could not miss it!

Emmitt gave us each a yellow rose - a friendship rose. How sweet is that! Everyone got a rose.

Emmitt, was not alone, working in the kitchen, he had plenty of help from some of the taller dogs who could reach the tall cubboards. Khyra, was helping keep the counters dusted off with her fluffy tail! Gus was keeping plenty of meatloaf in the bowls and Waldo was up to his elbows in the kitchen sink and was having fun splashing bubbles.

How fun is that to just yank the fridge door open and grab what you want to eat! Paradise- I say.

And there were the coffee yogurts and tofu sausage links that I FED-EX 'D just in case there were any vegetarian dogs and cats, and for snacks. Oh, I see brockoli in the fridge too!

All the furry dogs and cats, came by and introuced them selves, we all hugged and kissed, and sniffed and snorted. They were all so nice! Big ones, little ones, fluffy ones, long noses, short noses- no noses. big ears no tail dogs, fluffy tail dogs-- whoa- watch out for those fluffy tail dogs- those tails can take ya sailing! Kyhra and her beautiful tail!
Kong and I heard music, coming from the back yard - so out we went, and it was like a little band session going on. The yard was like a jiant park. There in center stage was Pearl with her party hat on -and Howie, all glamerous as always, dancing away, so I grabbed my harmonica and joined in the fun. There was Baja's, Roxy and Lucky playing the drums. They were great, its amazing all the talent everyone had! The words to one of the songs was something like this" Come on doggys and kitties, smile on your brother, and love one another right now".
And then the electric guitars started playing. I looked and there was Otis , Zoe and Zack, and Annie was playing a violin, they really had some talent with those instuments.
Emmitt must have outdone himself, as the house was spotless. You should have seen all the balloons everywhere and party hats and paintings on the walls- just like an art gallery! Everything was so beautiful.
Off to another part of the yard, a game was going on- it was a sniffing game to see who had the best sniffer nose. Guess who was winning? It was our friend Coco! Coco's got the best sniffer so a blue ribbon attatched to the collar! Way to go Coco! And there goes Poley and Ruki- they look like their running fast as they can down to the pond. It feels so good to be barefoot and to have all this soft gras to run and play on.
There is so much going on- this is just the beginning of the big party- of course all our pawrents think we are at Obedience School - learning- so please help keep this a secret- and this little update on what is going on- is not going to be heard by our pawrents. Promise?


I am just sitting here for a minute to contemplate what to do next There is so much to do!
I dressed up for this special occasion, in my rainbow dress.
The door bell rang again - here come somemore guests! Who just arrived?
I think I will grab Kong, and we will go see who is here. I think we are still waiting for
Pugley, Java, Annie, Maggie and Mitch, Meiby, Moe Maggie, Cecil, Ty, Pip, Pearl & Daisy, Rosie, Harry Pugalisious, Hank and Lex. Who else??? Gotta be more! Oh look, a whole bus load of dogs and cats are getting out!
Emmitt just ran out to meet the new arrivals!
Well, I want to eat some meat loaf, and sit and talk with Emmitt for awhile. My tummy is growling as it is so hungry. And then more party time, and then,,,,
the slumber party! I don't know about everyone else- but I need my beauty sleep! There are sleeping bags everywhere! I could not believe how cool Emmitts bed was!
Now the band is playing Who Let the Dogs Out!
This is the time of our life! Lets celebrate! I cannot wait to see what tomorrow brings at Emmitts house party!
Nitety nite everyone

I have been reading about the awards that are being sharred with everyone , and I was so shocked when some of these awards came my way. They came sailing my way- just like a boquet of balloons!
all I can say is,,,,,wow!

I truley feel humbled to be thought of for this award by Feather, Darla, Pappy and Lizabella of the TN Bull Terrors -

I love hearing about your pawrents that donate time to good causes.

I have learned a lot about everyones world, and everyone is so excited to share their lives.

I love bloggy because you make me smile and laugh at your pictures and storys, and this is the real world- our world- yours and mine.

My world is so much bigger - because of you.

I think it is so fun to think, that all of us can see the same moon and sun in the sky and were many miles apart. It can be winter here and summer there, but it's all one big world.

I believe we are banded together to make this world a better place, to share love and stomp out hate. I believe we have that in common- so all these reasons are why I love bloggy.

Tweedles Little Garden

Hi everyone, it's time to get in touch with mother earth, and this is my way!
My mama and I spent the day preparing my little garden.
We were very careful to move all the little worms aside, so they did not get hurt with the digging. Dirt was flying everywhere. I was dirty and , mama was clean. (She's just that way.)
Birds were sitting in the trees watching us. But that was not all, that was watching us- so we had to put a big sign up indicating to my kittie brothers and sisters- this garden was mine (in a polite way) and asking them to stay out!

We planted raddishes, and beans, and tomatoes and carrots (for Peter Rabbit - ya know) We're not done- this is just the beginning. When mama plants her garden, I will help her- just like she helped me.

Sometimes its a big decision on what to do during the day- especially when it was feeling so good just laying in the sun taking a little nap.

And then sometimes you just have to pick yourself up and charge ahead and do what needs to get done, and so I did!

And so, I tied my kite to a stick while I was busy planting my garden! I'll catch the wind later.

This is one of my strawberry plants, there is already a blossom on it.

I am not sure what I will plant here. I have to think about it for awile.

You know what happens when I get to thinking? Well, sometimes I remember something that I have been meaning to tell you.

Do you remember when I told you about the forest that came down around my house when the big monster machines came and smashed everything , into the mud? Some trees got smashed that were not supposed to be smashed.

Well, one day , mama and I were out walking- feeling very sad- cause the world looks different now. Mama saw something that looked like maybe something familiar to her. So Mama, since she has a green thumb-- cut a few branches from it. She was very gentle and spoke kind word to the little sticks. and brought them home and stuck them in a shelterd place in the dirt, and now look at them, below.

The little sticks are growing into Pussy Willow trees! We have 4 of them.

Sometimes, you just don't know what your going to find, when you least expect it. Soon these little baby trees will be in their new spot in the earth and will be able to wiggle thier toes and grow up nice and big, and someday- bloom so beautiful.

And so, until later,,,,

Nitey nite

Make Someones Day

Hi everyone,

Your not going to believe what came to me, at my house! Remember James ParkerJames Parker Art painted my portrait? Well, here is is! It arrived in the cutest box, addressed to me!

Mr James , Tacobelle and Pokey mailed it from Texas, where the Blue Bonnets bloom! Wow, how sweet is that?

Look- it looks exactly like me . Can you imagine how it makes my moms and me feel? Well we feel thankful! We found a little frame for it, and decided it was time for a celebration,,,,, so more flowers came into the house! This is our celebration table where we put special things.







I wanted to get a close up view, as I was afraid an imposter was in my house. And, I was expecting it to wag its tail at me., or woof! And then I reazied it was me. It was not a reflection at all, like the tide pools at the Sea, it was a portrait. It made me think of Manon The Blog of Manon Doyle , who says words so beautifully and said she found herself.


And now, I have found me- right here. ( I am not sure that is what she ment, I am still thinking about it. )




This is the letter Mr James Parker sent to me, so personal. I will treasure it forever.

Do you see how I am looking so inconspicuous (is that spelled right?) It made me think of how sometimes, someone will come out of the blue when you are not expecting them, and they lend a hand or make your day in some small way.

My moms had a couple of times in the last week when " Someone made their Day"

First time was at the burger drive in window, and mommie had forgot to order fries with her sandwich, so when they got up to the pay window, mama explained we were sorry, but we forgot to order fries and could we do it then? The nice girl- said no problem at all, and just gave it to mommie for free! We were not expecting that at all.

The next person to "make our day" was at Home Depot. Mommie was buying big timbers and she had them on a little grocery cart- 6 timbers. All was ok, until going over the bumps in the parking lot, and then you can imagine- the wheels all went kitty wampest and the timbers started hitting the ground. Mommie was stopping traffic as she struggeled to pick the heavy, monsters up off the ground,,,, and to the rescue came a nice man who helped mommie and suggested putting the timbers on a different kind of cart - ment for that purpose. He helped her and then disappeared- just like Superman. He just appeared out of no where, and then was gone.

I try to think of ways I can help "make someones day". I will need to think about it for awhile

And so my friends, my eyes are dropping.

Thank you again Mr James Parker!

Nitey Nite

Love
