The Further Adventures of Rua

[Dori & Rua]

Rua here! The Vikings are playing the Green Bay Packers right now so the computer is free and I thought I would up you on what's happening in my life.

I really love water. Eating ice cubes, taking baths, drinking out of a water bottle or jumping in the shower with Momma. I can just walk into the shower, they forgot to put a door on it when they built it apparently. So, as soon as Momma goes into the shower, I give Papa the slip and join her. I asked Papa to take of picture of me and Momma in the shower but Momma yelled out a big "NO"! WTD!

I took my first really long walk this past week without having to be carried part way. Momma was REALLY proud of me. I am using my kitty sister Puff Dog's retractable leash (she never used it anyway) and I did really good on it. I met new people...in fact one lady in a car stopped to ask what kind of puppy I was...she thought I was SOOOOO CUTE!

I don't at all like the noisy thing my parents got to do my nails....even wrapping me in a towel and giving me a spoonful of peanut butter didn't work. I got to go to PetCo yesterday and I got my nails done. Momma thought it was well worth the $10.00. Papa told Momma he would do them himself, but she had to leave the house. Don't think I like the sound of that.

Besides PetCo yesterday, Momma and Papa took me to the car dealership to turn in her little BMW car (she got a new Honda CRV for me to ride around in). Let me tell you, I was THE most popular puppy. All the guys came up to me and started baby-talking to me. They all thought I was adorable and wanted to know what kind of dog I was and how big I would get. I had them all eating out of my hand.

After that, Papa wanted to go to a different car dealership to look into a new car for himself. We went for a test drive around the block. I sat on Momma's lap...it was my first time getting to ride in the car in the front seat. I could see everything. Everything was moving. My tummy didn't like that a bit. I puked up copious quantities of food and peanut butter into the brand new car we were test driving. Momma caught most of it in her hand. The salesman in the back seat took it pretty well. As soon as we got back to the dealership he went in and got paper towels so Momma could clean it up. He apologized for getting me sick. I think Papa should get a car from him, don't you?

Momma was really trying to get me to stay still so she can take yet ANOTHER picture of me. She wanted a fall picture (inspired by this past week's photo theme). Well, let's just say that the only way Momma could get me in a fall picture was a with some photo manipulation.

Someone in the photography group made a good suggestion to Momma...bribery! So, today, after she gave me LOT's of treats, I let her take these pictures of me.

Well, I think half-time is coming up. I better get off the computer!

Stay 'tooned for my further adventures! We start Puppy Pre-School next week.

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

I LOVE the vomit in the car part!! So funny! You are a beautiful little doodle-girl.

[Susan and Sasha]

Just love your pics Rua...especially the one of you taking a bath! (smile)
Don't know why our Moms think we look so cute doing things like that...but...being on the other side here...well...now I can see why they do!!
Great idea...using the computer while everyone is watching the game...
Mom and I really don't like watching the game...but my Dad sure does!!
It's a great time to get into some interesting FUN...as I see you did...
About the ice cubes...well...they are one of my Very favorites too!
My Mom makes Really BIG pops for me to take outside when I play.
We call them my Great BIG Ice Pop Treats...and I sure do love them a lot!!
Moms are really smart that way...and they are Always looking for ways to show us how much they love us...aren't they?
I laughed so hard at your story about the car ride...you know...the one where you kind of threw up your whole lunch!! Lol...
Wow! Your Mom must have Very BIG hands...you know...to be able to catch all of that stuff...
Well...I wanted to tell you that you really do look great in photos...and I enjoyed reading about your adventures!
And Rua...I hope you know that you have a new friend...and her name is Sasha...
Oh...that's me!! (smile)

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Rua, I absolutely LOVE your blogs, and that picture of you with the pumpkins is sooo cute. I was laughing so hard when I read about your "spitting up" incident in the new car....Guinness & Murph were staring at me trying to figure out what was going on. Anyway, I'll bet that car salesmen was not too happy...and yes, your Dad needs to buy that car. Keep the blogs coming, little Rua.

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Rua you are tooooo cute :)

[Frannie & Callie]

Oh Rua - you're so cute and you have so many great adventures! Sorry you got sick in the car! My mom said if she had to catch my puke in her hand, she'd throw up too! Hang in there Rua, and keep the tails coming! Doodle hugs, Callie

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Rau - Rooney's mom here - Rooney gets home this Saturday - I've already mentioned Rooney to your mom - just don't go after Albus (although Albus is VERY handsome) till you give Rooney a shot - he is more your age. LOL.

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Boy, little Rua has it made with you guys. New cars, open showers, peanut butter...you name it! She is just the cutest little thing ever. I thought I would see her in the Puppy's Doodlekisses Calendar. Then I remembered that you got Rua after the entry deadline...I think.

I am noticing in your photos that there seems to be a lot of pink. I am wondering if there is a setting in your camera that is making that happen. Or is it on the computer that you get the pinkish tinge on everything? I know that some monitors look great but are not calibrated to the computer so when you publish your photos everyone else sees them differently. Do you see the pink in your photos?? Just curious since I know you were asking for help with the photo of Rua in front of the mums. I guess I should post this in the Photography Group...huh?

Next year I bet Rua is in the calendar!!!!!!! I just want to hug her she is soooo cute!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Rua, you are one tiny puppy! I couldn't fit in that sink, even when I was young. You look very pretty in those fall photos by the way - Darwin

[F, Calla & Luca]

What a cute and little doodle. The picture in the sink really put Rua in perspective.

[BG and Gavin]

We are watching that game too - my mom thinks that Brett Favre has forgotten he doesn't play for Green Bay anymore, because he keeps passing it to the guys in the green uniforms!
You look super cute in your fall pictures.
My mom would have given anything to see the looks on that car salesman's face when you lost your lunch!
Your friend Gavin
