Samba 'Opening Windows to a Wider World'

Goodbye Everyone

2011-06-04T02:47:00.002-04:00

This will be my last post. I have not felt well for awhile, but I felt really bad this last week. Mummy tried to help, but I wasn't feeling any better. In fact, I kept feeling worse and worse. I am now over at Rainbow Bridge now. Thank you to everyone who told your pei about me coming. The dog park here is WONDERFUL! I wish I could send pictures, but I don't have a camera, nor could I operate one. Mummy always did that for me. :) Everyone here says hi and they love you! Please take care of Mummy for me since I can't be there to take care of her myself.

Thank you Mummy! I love you too! Whee!

Check Up

2011-03-05T19:40:00.002-05:00

Today Mummy and I went to see Dr. O today. It was raining so I had to sit in the car with the windows closed and I hate that! I like to be able to smelllllll the air and watch the other cars go by. Sometimes people in the other cars next to us will talk to me too!

As soon as I got there, there was a Schnauzer puppy waiting to greet me! It looked like he had a broken leg, but he was super nice! So nice, that I stole his cookie...! Then there was a brown Poodle wanting to play. I love the waiting room! I went to the scale and Mummy weighed me, 46.6 lbs!

We waited a few minutes and Mummy tried to get me into the exam room, but I would rather get weighed instead! Finally, I gave in and went in with Mummy. A new girl was with me this time. I wasn't so sure of her and didn't want to go anywhere with her so she had to take my blood in the same room as Mummy! The other girl I liked came to hug me. She's nice! She even gave me a cookie later!

After all that, I just wanted to go home! But Mummy kept talking and talking and talking with Dr. O! I could not WAIT to get out of there! After that, we went to the post office and shopping! Mummy did not buy me anything. She said there was nothing out there good enough for me! So then we went home and I finally got to have my breakfast! Boy was I hungry!

Happei Lunar New Year!

2011-02-05T23:03:00.002-05:00

Gung hay fat choi, sun lien fai lok! Yes, I'm a bit late, but Mummy's been sick and I have been taking care of her. Not a good way to start off the new year!

A week ago, I got to spend the weekend with Uncle Z. We always have a blast! Well...I did at least. I don't know about him! He even took me on a walk! I missed Mummy & Daddy though. I was sure happy to see them when they came to pick me up! I'm back to my normal routine though. I wish spring would hurry up! All the salt on the ground are ouchies and I want to go to the park!

Bad News...

2011-01-23T16:40:00.002-05:00

On January 5th, Mummy took me to the doctor's to get my blood drawn. I hate going there! I always get poked and it hurts! The girls love me though and try to make it better. Soon as I am done I try to run out of there though! I know where the door is! Mummy said I weighed in at 45.8 lbs. "PERFECT!", she said :D A few days later when Mummy got the results back though was when the bad news came. My BUN and creatinine were high. I'm not sure what that means, but then later my urinalysis also showed a high protein. Dr. O said I was in kidney failure. I didn't really want Mummy to know I hadn't been feeling well. I still try to hide it because it makes her really sad. She's giving me special food that I just love! She makes it so that it is warm and not cold. :)

Anyhow, I need to finish playing with Jay :)

I Love the Coldness of Winter!

Cabin Fever

2011-01-17T14:14:00.001-05:00

Mummy said I had 'cabin fever' so she took me to the park! YAY! I got to meet a bunch of new friends and got to run around, wrestle, chase and roll around in the nice cold snow! I had a lot of fun and could've stayed longer, but Mummy was getting cold so we left. On our way home, we met two mean dogs, but I didn't care! I was just happy to be out! I hope we get to go back soon!

Happei New Year!

2011-01-01T23:01:00.002-05:00

Mummy and Daddy brought me over to see Velvet (mix) and Chile (pittie) last night. Kelly, the Maltese, was also visiting and I got to meet Buddy the doxie too! Everyone pooped out early. I tried to go to sleep too, but there was no where to sleep. Mummy finally took me home and I slept like a log! It was a great party and I'm glad I didn't have to stay home alone again. Happei New Year!

Howloween Meet Up!

2010-10-31T20:55:00.002-04:00

Met up with my friends Jet, Monté, Ziggy and Hugo (Huey) today! Monté didn't get to stay long. He did not behave the way his Mommy wanted him to behave so unfortunately, Ziggy had to go too :( Huey says he LOVES his new home and his new brother, PJ, the cat. He looked GREAT! Mummy thought so too! He gave Mummy lots of lovin's :D We had a blast at the park! We only stayed for 2 hours because Huey got tired and Mummy was getting cold. Hope you like the pictures!

Happy Howloween!

2010-09-29T20:49:00.007-04:00

What do you think? Do I look dapper as a bee?

It's not very slimming, is it? :(

Batman? I kinda look silly...! I'm no flying rodent!

Yeah, this looks ridiculous on me...maybe the bee is better?

What do you think? Bee or Batman?

9/22/10 Mucin Update

2010-09-22T17:12:00.003-04:00

It has been one month and 10 days since the rutin/hesperidin was started and almost a month (tomorrow) since the dose was doubled. Two weeks and two days ago, I also started Samba on the Nature's Farmacy blend that is supposed to be like Dr. Tintle's HyVitality.

Mucin Update

2010-09-12T21:15:00.001-04:00

This is what my hocks look like today, September 12th. The last picture was taken of my left hock, which...this is my right, but...it's been since August 3rd since my last update and the mucin bubbles are flat! Now all I have to do is grow some hair back!

Birthday Meet Up!

2010-08-14T22:06:00.003-04:00

For my 5th birthday I got a squeaky lion from Dex, doggy squeaky/honky toy from Mummy, ice cream and Mummy brought me another squeaky bone yesterday! It's been a GREAT week! I also got to see my friends Remy, Jet, Ziggy and Monty too today! We all had a lot of fun with the Ridgeback, Puggle, Pittie, etc! Thanks for coming to my birthday meet up everyone! :D I had a blast!

August 03, 2010:

It's will be two weeks exactly tomorrow since Mummy started me on the Rutin and Hesperidin. I have a little less fur on my left hock, but the bubbles don't look to be as puffy. I hope they go away soon! They are very uncomfortable :(

Vroom!

2010-07-27T00:57:00.002-04:00

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Z came to visit! Everyone went to the races on Saturday, but me :( Mummy said it was too hot for me so I had to stay home, but she took me on Sunday I had great fun meeting all the other race doggies and their people! No goodies this year, but I had a good time and was exhausted when we finally came home. I got to ride shotgun! :D

Rutin & Hesperidin

2010-07-21T23:34:00.004-04:00

Boy...Mummy has been gone for a week and comes home and I get a BATH! She said I was smelly :( Samba didn't think he was smelly! How rude! :( I put up with it till she washed my head too. I didn't like that very much! But I smell good now according to Mummy and I get more cuddles :D

She also started me on something called "roo-tin" and "speri-din" yesterday. I don't know what they are, but Mummy said it was good for me and I might not itch as much. So ok, I ate it! She also said it would help my bubbles. I have them on both back legs and they keep getting bigger! Here is my left leg:

Trumbull County Dog Show 2010

2010-05-30T22:18:00.003-04:00

Mummy took me to the dog show yesterday to see my G'ma Pat, but we couldn't find her :( We did see some other Shar Peis and all other different kinds of dogs! It was better than the dog park! Except that I wasn't allowed to play with any of them. :( Mummy bought LOTS of treats too! I liked these lamb trachea things. They were oh so smelly! I also got a new coat too!

Dog Park

2010-04-30T23:15:00.003-04:00

Last week, Mummy took me to the park! There weren't too many friends there, but I had fun anyway! Look at the big fluffy Siberian Husky that came! She had SO much fur! I *love* to pull fur!

Class!

2010-03-06T18:14:00.003-05:00

I went to school with Mummy today. It was fun to go some place new! I met another doggy there named Buffy, but she didn't want to play with me :( Everyone wanted to pet me! I didn't like that very much, but Buffy let everyone pet her so that was good! All the humans left me alone! This one lady tried to tell everyone that some peis need face lifts. Mummy tried to tell her she was WRONG! I'd hate to have a face lift! Mummy says people who do that are mean! I like my wrinkles...they make me special!

Funny Hats

2010-02-17T22:13:00.000-05:00

Everybody always make me wear funny hats. This is a baby hat Mummy made.

Happy Be-lated Valentine's Day!

Snow & Beau!

2010-02-07T23:56:00.004-05:00

Uncle Z came and we went for a car ride last Thursday! I got to stay at his place and play in the snow! LOTS of snow!

But my reason for this post is to get my friend Beau some justice! Someone hurt him badly and he needs to go to jail for what he did!

Beau has his own Facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=1065755918#!/group.php?gid=417450220057

He also has a petition that EVERYONE should sign!

Donations to help with his vet bills can also be given at:

Just make sure they are directed to "Cezar", which was his old name....

Fun in the Snow!

Thanksgiving Rawhides

2009-11-26T16:07:00.000-05:00

Dolly

2009-11-26T16:00:00.002-05:00

Yesterday Mummy brought home Dolly, my old neighbor. She moved away in August. Dolly is sad her Mummy left without her, but I am sharing my rawhides with her. She doesn't want to play though. :( We went to the dog park today and she tried to bark at all the dogs there, but Mummy told her no! She didn't know what to do at the dog park. Everyone was running around her. She still hasn't eaten or drank any water. She also sleeps a lot. Maybe soon she will realize that it is OK here. Mummy says she's going home on Sunday.

A-OK!

2009-10-19T22:25:00.003-04:00

It's been awhile since I have posted huh? I guess that's what happens when I am feeling better! Last May I got really sick and had Mummy really worried. I got poked at lot at Dr. O's. :( I didn't like it at all! But the last time I went and got poked he said I was A-OK again! Yipee! Of course, I already knew, but it was good for Mummy to hear so she could stop worrying about me! I also had two papillomas. Dr. O removed those also and I am ok now! Guess I shouldn't go sniffing strange doggies! Now all I want to do is just play play play! Mummy tells me we are meeting up with some other Shar Peis this Sunday. I can't wait!

September 2009 Meet Up

2009-09-19T20:41:00.002-04:00

Mummy and I went to Jet & Remy's house today! I got to meet THREE new friends! One of them turned out to be my half sister, Gemi! We have the same daddy...she is two years younger than I am. She looks a lot like my other half sister Gretchen, Mummy said. Gemi brought her little brother Loki. I think Mummy was in love with him! I thought she was going to bring him home with us! Third, but not least and not a pei, was Skye. She is a Pittie mix. She liked to wrestle, but not with me! Skye played with Loki the whole time. Oh well...the rest of us played chase a bit. Besides Jet & Remy (it WAS at their house!) Monte and Ziggy came too. There were SIX peis there! Eight doggies total...two were honorary pei :)

Here's a video of Loki snoring:

Here's a video of Skye chasing the water from the hose!

August 2009 Meet Up & Moving Day

2009-08-30T20:04:00.002-04:00

We had our meet up this month and we have a new member join us...Ivy! We also met a lot of other friends as well as Wrinkles and Meatball! Mummy was in love with Moe. I thought I was going to get a new little brother! There were sooo many friends there an the weather was perfect! It wasn't hot at all. We had a blast! No one wanted to leave even though we were tired.

My neighbor Dolly, her sister, Tessa, and her mummy moved away today. No more yapping! Yipee! But Mummy tells me that I am going to get two new neighbors! Can't wait to meet them! Maybe they will want to wrestle :)

Anyway...check out our pictures!

Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 2009

2009-07-20T15:16:00.002-04:00

I am pooped! Grandma and Grandpa came to visit for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix! I saw lots of friends at the races this weekend, but some did not want to be friends with me. I wished I wasn't leashed because it would've been fun to play! You should've seen all the grass there was! There was also a lot of good food. Everyone was cooking such yummy smelling food! The cars were loud and fast! Turned out to be nice weather...it wasn't hot! We did A LOT of walking! I slept really well :) Here are some pictures:

June 2009 Meet Up at North Park's Dog Park!

2009-06-27T21:37:00.004-04:00

Today Mummy took me back to the new dog park! We were having a Shar Pei meet up, but nobody except for Jet and Remy showed up. :( Not even anyone from the area! But I had fun anyway....I found a Boxer to wrestle with and I met a lot of new friends! See my pictures:

Dog Park Weekend!

2009-05-31T17:25:00.003-04:00

Yesterday, Mummy and I went to a picnic. I ate half of a cheese burger patty and another half of a hamburger patty! I also got a yummy all beef hot dog! Then after all that food we went to a new dog park! Mummy says next month, June, we'll have our Shar Pei meet up there!

Today we went to my dog park. Wrinkles couldn't make it for our meet up, but Jet and Remy came and I met another Shar Pei mix, Rocko! He's a Chesapeake x Pei. You'll see his cute picture. Mummy wanted to take him home! It was an awesome day today, sunny, cool, but warm!

New Castle Dog Show 2009

2009-05-26T10:32:00.003-04:00

Mummy didn't take me because it was too hot and there are too many germs at the show, but here are some of the pictures she brought home!

I am feeling better finally! I want you to read this and forward it to anyone that loves animals. The Humane Society of the US is NOT for helping us out.

Vet Re-check

2009-05-09T20:54:00.002-04:00

Samba went to the vet again today for a re-check. His kidney values were not looking so good. We were given anti-vomiting pills since he puked about 5 times yesterday, some probiotics and two bags of sub-q fluids. He is eating chicken baby food tonight and even ate string cheese along with some treats. I am hoping this means he is on the mend.

Beware!

2009-05-08T20:47:00.001-04:00

Still Not Feeling Up to Par

2009-05-07T23:13:00.002-04:00

Hey there...this is Samba's "Mummy". He is still not feeling well enough to post or to eat today. His fever returned in the late evening tonight, but seems to be going down again. Luckily, no where near as high as yesterday morning! I took him to the vet this afternoon and we hashed out all the possibilities. Got a urinalysis and blood work done as well as 1 liter of Sub-q fluids. He sure looked funny when he came out! It's a good thing he has all that skin to store all that water! He did gobble down 4 cookies at the vet's. Normally he won't touch these, but I guess he felt well enough at that point to eat and was hungry! He had some jerky treats too at home, but nothing close to real food. He even had a hard time eating his favorite, yogurt. Still very slow movement and sleeping lots. They did find something that was going on in one of his forehead wrinkles so that might be the cause. He's on Clavamox for a week so that should clear up anything he might have. Anyhow, keep him in your thoughts! He will be back soon as he feels better!

Not Feeling Good

2009-05-06T16:47:00.002-04:00

9:15am

Morning Samba...oh my! You're hot! Are you ok?

Morning Mummy....I'm not feeling well....really tired.

Ok baby, lemme take your temp. 105.1˚F! Ok, Mummy will give you stuff to make you feel all better ok?

Ok Mummy.

See you later baby. I gotta go meet up w/ Daddy. I'll be back ok?

11:09am

Mummy!

Hi baby! How are you feeling?

Better Mummy, but still yucky.

Do you want food?

Food? Ok.

(10 minutes goes by...)

Baby you don't want it?

No Mummy I'm gonna bury it for later.

It's OK honey, lemme take it. You can have it later.

OK.

Wanna go for a walk instead?

Yeah. Mummy I wanna walk slow.

Ok baby, we'll walk slow.

(hours go by after going for the slow walk...)

1:30pm

Baby want to go to the park? Jet and Remy are going to be there!

Yeah! Park!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was a bit slow to start, but as I felt better the more I wanted to play. Here are some pictures of my friends and I:

Dog Park

2009-04-04T19:39:00.001-04:00

Mummy took pictures at the dog park again. So here they are:

I had fun, but I don't like carrying my own water. :(

Omg! Omg! Omg!

2009-03-11T17:35:00.002-04:00

Wow is today my birthday or something? Mummy got up, ate, fed me...everything normal right? Then we went for a WALK! When we got home, Mummy left and I took a nap upstairs. When Mummy got home, we went for ANOTHER walk! This time we went to my neighbor, Jay's, house! I wanted to play with Jay and then Mummy disappeared again, but she came back with another leash! I was so happy happy happy! Jay pulled Mummy a lot and he was really excited too. We got to the park and Mummy tied us up, took my backpack off of me and put it on Jay! AHHHHH!!!! So nice! Little Jay got scared of the backpack, but I told him it was ok and we walked and walked and walked! When we got home Mummy let us wrestle! I am pooped out now...I think I'll sleep to celebrate :) Zzzz!!!

Backpacking

2009-02-08T16:52:00.004-05:00

My nose is almost all healed up! Just a little pink still where the pigment hasn't come back yet. Sorry I haven't posted for awhile...it's been really cold here in Pittsburgh! We haven't really been out much. I did get cabin fever! Mummy bought me new toys and a backpack! We have gone for two walks with it already and it sure makes me TIRED! I get fed after my walks and I am so pooped out I just sleep all day!

This is a picture Mummy took...she caught Daddy and I cuddling!

We decided to cancel Shar Pei meet ups until the warmer spring days. This winter was just too cold! So until then....I'm going back to bed :)

Happy New Year!

2009-01-01T13:24:00.002-05:00

It's a tough life as a dog. You don't get to go anywhere you want to with your humans. I spent New Year's Eve at home, alone, while Mummy & Daddy went out. It's ok though. I was at least at home! You can bet I was alert and guarding the house! I hope everyone has a happy and prosperous 2009!

My nose is healing nicely and I am no longer mad at Mummy & Daddy. :)

Owie

2008-12-30T13:17:00.000-05:00

Here are the pictures promised from last night:

Mad!

2008-12-30T02:07:00.003-05:00

Mummy and Daddy left me with a "sitter" for almost a week! There were lots of friends, but most of them did not want to share. I have an owie on my nose...will post a picture later of it. I missed Mummy *so* much! Christmas wasn't the same! :( Mummy picked me up tonight. Daddy was trying to bribe me into forgiving him. No way! But I'll take the treats! Mummy said it was his fault that I didn't get to go where they went! :( Daddy is so mean...! But Mummy was the one who dropped me off so I am mad at her too, just not as much!

Mewwy Kwistmas!

2008-12-22T21:04:00.001-05:00

Wishing everyone and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Meet Up At Jet & Remy's House & New Friends

2008-12-20T19:01:00.006-05:00

Ack! Slippery! Mummy it's slippery!

It's ok Samba go in!

No Mummy it's slippery...but I wanna play can't they come out instead?

C'mon Samba, go in!

ok... Hi Jet! Hi Remy! Wee! New house! New yard! Hi Monte! Hi Ziggy! Wow this is fun! Ziggy made himself right at home right away. Ziggy's mommy had to clean up after him. So we had to go outside to play after that. Jet and Remy have a BIIIG yard! Wee! We all pee'd on everything and pooped! It was great! We got too cold after awhile so we went inside and our mommies and daddy ate while we ran around the room. It was GREAT! Afterwards we went out again.

Then Cooper came, but he didn't want to play again :( What a party pooper! He finally had to chill out (literally!) in the car instead of playing. Oh well...! We had fun! Wrinkles came to join us too and not too long after that Monte, Ziggy and Cooper left so it was just Wrinkles, Remy, Jet and me. I felt bad for Remy. He wasn't a pei, but I wanted to play with him anyway! As you can see in my pictures we got to wrestle twice! But that was all he had in him! I had a great time and when Mummy and I left I just slept in the car while she ran some errands.

Wrinkles and his kids also got Mummy and I some Christmas presents! When I got home, Mummy gave me my Christmas presents too! Here's a picture of me sleeping with my new toys:

Last night I got to meet some more new friends. Mummy says I will be spending Christmas with them. I don't want to be without Mummy, but Edie's nice. She keeps the girls nice too! Mummy took this funny picture of one of them. She looked like she was warming her paws on the electric heater!

They also has this thing that Mummy called Mr. Piggy. His name was Eddie. He sure was cute! But I wasn't sure what he was...all he did was sit there or drink water!

Here are a few visuals from today:

Blankets & Boxes

2008-12-14T02:46:00.007-05:00

Mummy put me in this box. I wasn't quite sure what to make of it until I couldn't get out...

Mummy please let me out! I don't like sitting in this box...

Thumper & Kneesa sent me this blankey. Mummy put a bobby pin for size comparison. It's nice and snuggly! Thank you Thumper & Kneesa!

Another Mean Mummy Episode...

2008-12-09T15:38:00.002-05:00

Mummy has been teasing me lately...she has been making more jerky treats. I have gotten a few of them, but I want ALL of them! They smell so nummy! Mummy makes the best jerky ever! I can't wait till I get some more!

I have been pretty bored lately. No one wants to play. Mummy is studying again and Daddy is sick. Uncle Zach doesn't come over often enough for me to wrestle with. I hope this thing called "studying" is going to end soon! It's pretty boring sitting home alone all the time.

Crate!

2008-12-01T18:20:00.003-05:00

Mummy is so mean to me sometimes...I was laying there guarding the kitchen for Daddy in case someone wanted to steal our food. Mummy comes in and gives me a hug, which I don't mind, but then she said the C word! Mummy asked, "Samba? Do you want to go in the CRATE?" Noooooo!!!! No Mummy please I don't want to go in the crate! Why? Why do I have to go in there? Are you leaving? I tried to run away, but Mummy had a hold of me. Whaaaa!!!! I don't wanna Mummy! Don't want to go in the crate! I'm a good boy! Then Mummy said, "It's ok, you don't have to go into the crate." She gave me a kiss on my ear and left to go study instead. Whew! I hate it when she scares me like that!

Peis, Peis and More Peis!

2008-11-29T23:49:00.003-05:00

Mummy and I went on a walk today and instead of going around the neighborhood we went into the park and I got to explore. I took Mummy down these trails that were off the path and we wandered around until I didn't know where to go. Mummy had to take me out and we ended up right inside the dog park! Two BIIIIG dogs charged at me. I was so scared! I wanted to play, but they were so big and I couldn't see them very well. They finally left the park and we went into the big dog park where there were lots more friends to play with. To our surprise, there was a bone mouth pei there named Jet! She was really pretty. I had a blast there running with her and everyone else! Unfortunately, Mummy did not plan on bringing me to the park so she did not have her camera for pictures :( Maybe we will see Jet again soon! On our way out of the park we ran into a pei mix that I've known since he was a baby, but haven't seen for a long while!

Mummy Is Always Taking Pictures of Me...

2008-11-24T23:01:00.000-05:00

So here is the latest:

This is Funny!

2008-11-22T14:12:00.001-05:00

Look at this silly kitty! I wish I could chase her...

Roomba Driver @ Yahoo! Video

Brrr!!!

2008-11-22T13:11:00.004-05:00

Mummy took me to the dog park today. Cooper, Sam and Wrinkles came too! There was supposed to be more friends, but they never came :( I had fun anyway, but BRRR!!! It was COLD! So cold it hurt our feet. Poor Wrinkles was crying his feet hurt so badly. Cooper didn't want to play this time so he had to leave, but some other friends came in to play! Mummy didn't take any pictures this time, but she had a friend come take pictures! I will share them as soon as Mummy gets them.

2008-11-12T16:57:00.004-05:00

As you can see...Mummy got me a new necklace! She also got me a new toy that squeaks! I also got this picture taken of me. Proof of me being upstairs! I know I shouldn't be, but I just want to be next to my favorite person in the whole wide world, my Mummy!!!!!! I think she said "treat"! That's why I have my head cocked...I wanted to make sure she said what I thought she said!

This is a picture of my pet lizard, Pele. I had to share this picture of her. She looks funny with her tongue sticking out! I don't think she likes me much... I've tried to make friends with her! So mean...!

South Park Play Date

2008-11-04T19:42:00.006-05:00

Mummy has been super busy with school lately so I haven't been able to get out to play. :( I do remind her once in awhile that I need some attention too besides food and potty. I know she is studying hard so I try not to bother her, but this past Sunday we went for a car ride. Instead of going to see Dr. O'Leary we went to the far away dog park! I got to meet Mia and Sig, Wrinkles' friends! Wrinkles wasn't able to join us b/c he wasn't feeling too well. His mommy thought he should stay home. Bummer. Friday was Halloween...hardly any kids came to my house! :( All dressed up for nothing! Here are some pictures of everyone at the park:

Oh yeah, Aunty Kori has a new website up now for the panties! Please check it out! http://www.k9dekor.com/

Also, Mummy is selling AVON to help with rescue and the Rabies Challenge Fund too! So please buy your holiday gifts there! www.youravon.com/cwu

Panties For Rescue!

2008-10-09T21:05:00.006-04:00

Hi everybody,

I know, I'm a boy so why am I talking about panties? No, it's not hormonal. Mummy got me snipped so there's none of that! And no I don't have panties that need rescuing! What I am talking about is that my friends Cooper and Spice's mommy is making panties for doggies! She is custom making them for any dog no matter breed, size or shape! Cooper & Spice say they are only $15 each (plus shipping!) and even better yet...ALL PROFITS GO TO SHAR PEI RESCUE! Not a bad deal eh? If you want one (or two or three...), email Cooper & Spice's mommy, Kori at korigibson [at] yahoo [dot] com.

Here is Spice modeling the panties! The ones sold have an extra strip of velcro on the top of one of the straps so you can make them as tight as you want.

Play Time!

2008-09-15T20:56:00.004-04:00

Today Mummy came home early for some reason, but I was glad! We went to the park! Here are some of my friends at the park:

Rogue and I played chase and I body slammed her a few times. Tink and I wrestled! It was a great time had by all! I was pooped! I'm so happy Mummy came home....it get boring sitting at home all the time!

August Shar Pei Meet Up!

2008-08-30T16:23:00.001-04:00

I couldn't believe it! Mummy took me to the park today! I was so excited!!! And not only did we just go to the park, but Wrinkles and Siam were there too! A new dog joined us, Cooper! We had a blast! See pictures below!

Birthday

2008-08-15T00:40:00.003-04:00

Mummy and daddy finally came home on Monday. I was SO excited to see them! I was scared my first night at Uncle Z's place. I didn't get to really check it out the first time when I was there. Uncle Z was nice and didn't leave me. We went to the park a lot and I got to watch the house! Mummy missed my 3rd birthday on Sunday, but she got me my favorite, ice cream, yesterday! Actually, it was frozen yogurt, but it was nummy! Mummy spoils me so much she said that she didn't know what else to give me for my birthday. :( I want a friend, but daddy says no. :( I am happy to be home again!

Sleepover!

2008-08-06T21:17:00.002-04:00

Tonight Uncle Zach came over. I thought he was someone bad so I barked and barked, but then realized who it was. I was so excited to see him! Mummy said I was going to go over to Uncle Zach's for a sleepover! I love Uncle Zach he likes to play! I watched Mummy gather all my things and then I got a car ride! I wished Mummy could come too :(

Fun!

2008-08-06T13:42:00.007-04:00

I can't seem to catch that mousie. He keeps teasing me! I will get him though!

Mummy took me to the park yesterday. It's been a long time since I've seen my friends. I had a blast! Here's who was there:

A English bull dog x boxer puppy. He was so cute!

Tucker showing the Basset hound who is boss.

Tucker is a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix. He was quite the big mouth, but he was all bark.

Mr. Bassett Hound.

Me! Me Mummy take MY picture!

Mousie!

2008-07-23T23:16:00.005-04:00

Mummy! Mummy! I found something! I found something! It's right behind here....see???

Yes, baby I see! It's a big hole back there! What is it? A mousie?

Vroom!

2008-07-21T14:44:00.008-04:00

Mummy was all stressed out last week and I wasn't sure why. We didn't get to go to the park at all! :( Friday night, grandma and grandpa came for a visit! YAY! Gamma always gives me lots of love! :D Saturday we went to the races and I got to ride on Mummy's lap in the pretty black car. It was HOT! Here are some pictures:

Sitting next to the car watching everyone walk by and getting lots of pets!

Hanging out in my wet towel. It sure kept me nice and cool! Everyone was jealous! :D

Sunday morning....waiting for the races to start!

Staying cool under the tent in my cooling scarf!

I think I see a doggy friend!

Greyhound friend I wanted to play with!

Zoomies

2008-07-14T20:53:00.004-04:00

Sometimes I like to run around...this time, I got to run around in my baby's yard! I had to check on him while I was running around like what Mummy calls "The zoomies." Isn't my baby cute?

P.S. My new friend, Siam, got a forever home! YAY! Wrinkles is getting a new foster friend named Olive that I just can't wait to meet!

P.P.S. I am now officially "P-lou's Opening Windows to a Wider World" :D

Re-Scheduled May Shar Pei Meet Up

2008-06-11T23:32:00.009-04:00

This was the best meet up we've had so far! Last Sunday, SIX peis showed up! Wrinkes, Siam, Monty, Ziggy, Ginger and me! We didn't do much playing. It was REALLY hot! Here are some pictures:

Me getting a drink with Monty waiting.

Chilling out.

Siam, Wrinkle's foster friend.

Ginger and I saying hi.

Ziggy, Monty's brother.

Pei wannabe. :)

Another New Friend!

2008-06-03T22:21:00.004-04:00

Mummy made me sit near my new friend for this pic.

I think he farted... Those baby hands must be tasty. I'll have to try them out too!

Funniness & New Neighbor!

2008-06-03T02:28:00.004-04:00

The other day, Mummy only gave me a soup bone to eat. :( I thought maybe if I hide it she'll give me real food! So I buried my bone and Mummy comes outside later and asks "Where's your bone Samba?" I just pretended I had no idea! She tried a few times, but she finally found it! Dang! Oh well....worth a try!

Today, I got a new neighbor! Jay! We wrestled and chased around a bit. Buster was jealous I think.

Isn't Jay cute?

He looks just like Buster only smaller! For now...

Tickle the baby!

I can't wait to play with Jay some more!!! He sure is fun! Maybe Buster will stop barking next time and just join in the fun!

Mouse!

2008-05-29T03:22:00.002-04:00

Nothing exciting has been happening here....it's been cold so Mummy didn't take me on any walks, so sad! :( Nothing to sniff or mark! But lately a little mousie has been visiting. I keep trying to get it and yesterday I caught it! It squeaked just like my squeaky toys! But it got away :( Maybe it'll come back?! I hope so....!

Life is Good...

2008-05-15T22:53:00.006-04:00

Here is a pic of me eating some yummy marrow out of my bone and my bestest friend in the whole wide world, Buster. :D She loves to wrestle, my favorite game! The pic with my tongue sticking out to the side...I am completely out of breath from playing with Buster and the other one is me standing on my fence looking to see if Mummy has any nummy treats :D Bussy and I like to beg for treats from Mummy!

Just Things...

2008-05-09T02:08:00.013-04:00

Hi everybuddy!

I haven't posted in awhile so I thought I'd share some pictures with everybuddy! Check out my nephew! His name is Buster and he is in "show business." Isn't he cute?! So handsome...must run in the family ;) Good luck Buster!

This was me earlier enjoying my rib and hogging (oink!) a pig's ear. It was real yummy, but alas...it was not to last! I puked it up later :(

Nothing else is very exciting here...I am getting more walks and dog park visits so that is fun! Maybe I will see some of you there! G'nite! zzzzzzzzzzz.......

New Collar

2008-04-25T01:54:00.003-04:00

Mummy got me a new collar yesterday! See?! It's cute huh?? I looooove my new collar! I also like to sleep as you can see in this pic :D

2008-04-22T20:58:00.003-04:00

Finally! Pictures! Here are some from today:
Wanna jump in?

Wee! This feels GREAT!

Pant! Pant! Pant!

2008-04-22T18:38:00.002-04:00

I am *so* tired! Mummy took me on this loooooong walk today! We went to the dog park, but nobody was there so we went on our long walk. I got to jump into the creek and splash around. It was fun! I got to meet all these other friends I had never met before. Mummy took me into the swimming area, but there were these two mean friends there that I was so scared of so Mummy took me out and we went home. The walk back was tough! It was all up hill, but we made it! It was much later and on our way home we stopped to see if there were any friends at the dog park and there were a few so we stopped in there and played chase a little, but we were getting hungry so we left. I got cheese as a snack when we got back! Woohoo! I love cheese!

Last Friday Mummy and I went to see Wrinkles, but he brought along his big mouthed little friend named Hooch. I don't know what he was yelling at me about, but it sure put me in a BAD mood!

Well, I had some pictures to share, but Blogger isn't letting me put them up....maybe later!

Look what Mummy got me! My own cards!

2008-04-17T00:56:00.003-04:00

This way, if we meet another Shar Pei on our walks we can have the other Peis join us in the future!

Rainbow Bridge

2008-04-09T02:56:00.003-04:00

Today Mummy told me my doggy daddy, Maze, went to the rainbow bridge. She said he was really sick and that it was time for him to go. I don't really know what that means, but she was sad. I got lots of hugs today so whatever this rainbow bridge is must make Mummy sad. I don't want to go there if it makes Mummy sad! I don't like being away from Mummy!

It's Warm!

2008-04-07T22:56:00.002-04:00

Today was so nice Mummy let me stay outside all day to soak up some sunshine! My best friend, Buster came outside too, but she was too tired to play. :( My best kid buddy and I did some exploring too, but something caught my eye and he has wobbly feet and I pulled just a little bit too hard and made him fall. I'm so sorry :( Sometimes I forget you can't walk as fast as I can! It sure is nice to have someone open gates for you! Can't wait to play with you again kid! Maybe Mummy will take me on a walk again tomorrow. I'm tired of being cooped up!

Dog Park

2008-04-06T16:20:00.005-04:00

Wee!!! It was so nice today that Mummy and I went to the park! There were all these new dogs around and I even met a teeny little Vizsla puppy (see his picture below). He wasn't much of a wrestler though and neither were the other doggies :( I got to meet a Shar Pei/Shepard mix and another possibly purebred, but poorly bred, Shar Pei (see his picture above)! I am so out of shape though that I only lasted about an hour Mummy said. We came home and I got a bath to wash off those muddy paw prints off of me thanks to this muddy yellow Lab! I think I'll take a nap now, but before I go I wanted to share some links with you:

Beans!

2008-03-31T02:24:00.002-04:00

Mummy, Daddy and Uncle Z were watching a "movie" again tonight. I'm not sure what that is, but they were eating something yummy. Mummy gave me a "bean" and I wasn't so sure what it was, but I tried it and it was GOOD! Mummy kept giving them to me and I was so happy to munch on those little green "beans." Then all of a sudden they stopped. Mummy said they were all gone so I went around to see if Daddy or Uncle Z had anymore, but no one had any :( Later, Mummy told me they were "soybeans!" Mmm....can't wait till I get MORE!

Yawn!

2008-03-29T07:38:00.003-04:00

Boy, Mummy was up early this morning. I was still sleeping! I got my yum yum and I went potty. It was COLD outside! Bussy wasn't out. :( I keep looking for her, but I haven't seen her in awhile now. I hope she comes out to play soon. When Mummy opened the door I was all too happy to get back into the warm house! I went downstairs to see Daddy, but he was still sleeping. Mummy was poking at the light (computer) so I went back to bed. It's too early to be up! Zzzzz.....

Food!

2008-03-28T15:32:00.002-04:00

So this morning...Daddy had to go upstairs and I followed him. I pushed open the door to where Mummy was sleeping and I got to wake her up! Time to get up!!! I'm hungry!!! After awhile Mummy got up and she let me go outside, but I didn't have to go pee so I just sat there while she made my breakfast. This time, she made my chicken yummy with fish oil, kelp, and this powdery stuff that Mummy said was good for me. I ran away when she put the food in my crate, but she got a hold of me and showed me that it was food time! It was a whole chicken leg! Mummy cut it all up for me too and I ate most of it. I got too full and had to leave the one piece behind. I wonder what's for dinner?

Caught Red Pawed Sleeping on a Comforter!

2008-03-28T02:02:00.003-04:00

Scared. Make it go away! I'm hiding till it's gone.

Violent Movies

2008-03-28T00:41:00.004-04:00

Mummy and Daddy and Uncle Z were watching a "movie." Mummy was pulling on my paws and there were lots of loud noises and Daddy yelled. I don't know what I did wrong, but I didn't want to leave so I slept behind the couch on top of this nice comfy stack of blankets.

I'm Hungry...

2008-03-27T21:11:00.001-04:00

This is my first blog so forgive me if I am not doing this right. It's a bit hard to type on a keyboard with paws! Thank Bones that I have spell check!

So I don't understand why mummy has been making me eat in my crate. I don't like my crate, but ok. I'll get her back though...I won't eat my bones in there! I don't think she is getting my message though. I'm pretty hungry still... I had to watch daddy eat a really yummy sandwich. I smelled it when mummy brought it home in a paper bag. Boy was I drooling! Daddy wasn't falling for my cute face though! Darn!
