UPDATED: Momma & Me Today!

[Dori & Rua]

Hey everybody...Rua here.  I am SOOO excited.  Today it is all about Momma & Me (ok, so most days it is like that, but this is really special). 

 

First, we are going to go Three Dog Bakery & Spa so Momma can look for a new pretty pink sparklie collar for ME!!!!  I just LOVE pink and Momma has been on the search for just the right collar.  It has to be 3/4" to 1" wide (difficult to find for a small) and have rhinestones or Swarovski crystals! 

 

Then, it is "Spring Bark in the Park" at the dog park I go to.  Oh...there are games, demos, vendors & raffles.  They will have a carnival with Paw-casso, Splat the Cat (don't tell PuffDog), Tic Tac Paw, Hide-a-Teat, Bobbing for Dawgs & more!  Oh boy, I can't wait.  The clouds are parting and I see blue sky!

 

After the dog park, Momma is going to give me my own little spa treatment.  She's going to brush me, do my nails, give my head and around my eyes a little trim, and then a shampoo and rinse!   I'll be all soft and smelling pretty for the big event tonight.

 

And then, the MOST exciting part!  I can hardly believe what is going to happen tonight.  Momma is taking me out for dinner.  The Nebraska Humane Society is having an event called "Dining with Dogs" tonight.  It is from 6:30PM to 9:00PM at a Convention Center.  We will be at a table with 7 other people and some dogs.  I am going to be a really good girl tonight.  Momma is going to let me wear my pretty pink sparklie dog tag tonight.

 

 

 

Stay 'tooned for a recap of Momma & Me day tomorrow.

 

Licks & Kisses to all of my DK friends!

UPDATE:  Sunday, May 1st

 

Momma and I had the MOST awesome time yesterday.  We started out going to Three Dog Bakery & Spa.  They bake awesome stuff there.  Well, I walked in with Momma and the girl behind the counter came right out and brought me a little piece of cake and asked if I could have it.  Heck yeah I said...but I had to wait until Momma said OK.  It was yummy.  Liz, the store person thought I was sooo cute and loved my hair color.  We looked at some hand-made leather collars with Sworovski crystals...I think Momma might buy me a 1" pink leather collar but has to decide on pattern and crystal colors.  We bought a Rubit Clip-on dog tag holder and some granola/chocolate treats for me (not real chocolate).

 

Then, we went to Spring Bark in the Park...Momma FORGOT to take pictures, but it was SO fun.  The sun was shining, it wasn't cold out, and there were lots of people and dogs.  They had games to play...I liked Splat the Cat...I won a stuffed polar bear.  There was music playing, lots of food and treats - Yummm, and all kinds of give aways.  Lot's of people kept coming up to Momma to ask what kind a dog I was (I am NOT a dog, I am a Doodle, can't they tell), commented on my color and asked to pet me.  One lady said I was THE cutest dog there.  WTD, was there any doubt?  Momma bought some raffle tickets and we won a denim dog bed and a free nail trim.  Momma said I was a really good girl and said we could go again next year.

 

After that, we came home.  I got my nails done, ears cleaned, teeth brushed, a little trim and a shampoo and conditioner treatment.  After, I put on my Harry Barker cute pink robe and had the zoomies.  I took a little nap afterwards in preparation of the main event.  Dinner out with Momma.

 

This is the scene we walked into...OMD, there were 450 or so people, hundreds of dogs.  They had "Valet Barkers" (Momma could hold up a sign and someone would come over and take me outside to go potty).  The place was decorated top to bottom.  My favorite part was there were people walking around serving hors d'oeuvres...just for dogs...YUMMY.

 

 

Of course they had a Mutt-Tini bar!

 

Darn if people didn't keep coming up to Momma and asking about me.  It just keeps happening everywhere we go.  Everybody wanted to pet me.  Momma was super extra thrilled because I did a good job of sitting before somebody could pet me.

 

I met a Doodle!  Momma tried to take a picture of us...hard to do and hold on to me at the same time so she let the Doodle's papa hold me.  Ummm, what was Momma thinking.  Strange man holding me and a big huge dog trying to kiss me...I was a little scared.  When she had to go potty, she left me with the lady sitting next to us at the table...Momma said "stay" and said she would be back.  I cried...I don't like Momma to leave me.  Gotta work on that, Momma said.  I won't pass my CGC if I keep that up.

 

It was just the bestest day in the whole wide world.  Momma said we could do that again.  I sure love my Momma.

 

I slept late this morning....Momma was really happy.

 

Till next time!

Rua..Ginger is jealous...she is stuck at home recovering from surgery.  Let me know if you find the perfect collar!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Enjoy your mommy and me day, and we couldn't be represented at that dinner by a more beautiful doodle girl. Can't wait to hear all about your day.

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

Sounds fun!! Can't wait to see the pics!

[Clifford, Cloud, Jake..and Kim]

 

You deserve the royal treatment Miss Rua.  Have a blast at the party - you probably shouldn't dance on the tables, you are too respectable for such wild behavior and you might get a 'reputation'..

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Rooney says Booow WooooooW!  He knows that Rua will be the cutest girl there!  You and your momma have a blast, we'll be looking for the photos tomorrow!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

This sounds like a perfect day!  Have lots of fun and fill us in tomorrow.

[Jodi and Stella]

Wow! Sounds like a red letter day Rua. I'm sure you will be "belle of the ball"

[Jennifer and Jack]

How fun and exciting for you and for your mommy Rua.. Have a wonderful time.... I can not wait for the recap.. You gave me a lot of good ideas for Jack. Tomorrow is Jack's two year Gotcha day and I am planning on doing some fun things with him!!!

[F, Calla & Luca]

This beats going to the royal wedding. Lucky girl.
