August 10 - International Spoil Your Dog Day


 

 Our Peep is very good at spoiling ALL of us! She makes sure we get to play with her, she buys us cool toys and she even gets down and rolls around on the floor with us. I, Marvelous, thought I would ask Nutmeg what she thinks are the 5 ULTIMATE spoils she would like Mom and Alex to do on this specialist of days!

#1 - Sniff Safari

Stopping the car when going for a drive at a brand new spot and letting Me stop and smell every single blade of grass and bit of debris for as long as I want!

#2 - Happy Birthday!

I would like a birthday party every month with paper hats, singing, and a (dog-friendly) "pup-cake"! (And Meatballs for me and the cats) 

 

#3 - Pup Cones

I LOVE it when Mom stops at the local Dairy Queen (or ice cream store) on trips to other communities! It has been a HOT summer and I LOVE getting these special treats!


#4 Facials

When Mom washes her face and puts on sunblock in the morning, she wipes and massages MY face (and sometimes my MARVELOUS) face, just like she does with her sun block. It feels so terrific! 

 #5 Shopping Spree

Getting to go INSIDE the pet store. The one in the closest big town has a box near the door that is full of et their Dogs have whichever squeaky toy she sniffs first!

Katie is Gone!

Kozmo Here! I have hijacked Marv's Blog! I am devastated! Bereft! Heart broken! For the last 15 and a half years, I have been HOPELESSLY in love with Katie Isabella. There has never, ever been another lady cat in my life (except for my Queen Nellie).


I am so very sad. My beloved Katie Isabella has crossed her Rainbow Bridge after 15½ wonderful years of adventures, love, and shared whisker whispers. The world feels quieter without her bright spirit beside me. I will share more memories and Pawtraits soon, but for now, I’m curling up with my thoughts and missing her deeply.
