Kaya’s Crazy Monday — Kaya Doesn’t Mind Going Outside!

It’s hard to believe it, but it’s true.  Kaya doesn’t usually like to go outside.  We’ll open the door to the backyard and Rufus runs outs, but not Kaya.  Nope.  Instead, Kaya backs away and hangs her head in shame.  She does not want to go out there!  Weird, right?  What kind of dog doesn’t want to go outside?

Kaya does actually like to be outside (see proof below), it’s just that she doesn’t want to be away from her people.  Kaya is very clingy.  She’s kind of like velcro.  She’s always stuck to one of us!  With the recent (well, almost two weeks ago now) nice weather, Kaya did spend some happy time outside:

How do our other puppy friends like playing outside?  Go visit and find out — Smalls, Rufus, Ben, Ted, Gus, and Zapp!

Weekend Randomness

Random highlights from my weekend:

• Got a new nephew, Ian, on Friday.  Still have only seen two pictures, though!
• Ate some tasty mini cheeseburgers.  Yum!
• Got a domain for my business site/blog and successfully installed WordPress.  Have proven to myself that I am not a technology moron.
• Made some tasty red velvet cupcakes.  Again with the yum!
• Cleaning, dishes, laundry.

It was a fairly tame, quiet weekend.  Nice and relaxing!  What were you up to this weekend?

Color My Lips

Jamie recently asked for some makeup advice, and the truth is that I need some too.  I’m on the hunt for the perfect lipgloss.  I can never seem to find it, so my lips just go bare.  So, this is what I’m looking for:

• Not sticky — Anything overly sticky is a deal-breaker for me.
• Pretty, subtle color
• Not too shiny — I’m not going clubbing, just to work.
• Reasonably priced — I’m willing to pay up to $15, maybe even $20, for something that’s good.

Can anyone help me?  I’ve been on this quest for quite some time!  I’d really like to have some pretty lips!

So Cute I Want to Die

Thanks to Janet for brining him to my attention!

Roosday-Tuesday — Wherein Our Hero is a Couch-Licker

Hey there internet dogs!  Rufus here with some more of my worldly advice and ways to drive your mom crazy!  The topic for today is couch licking.  Don’t walk away so soon!  This is actually a lot of fun.

What is couch licking?  Well, pups, it’s just like it sounds.  You lick the couch.  You lick it a lot.  It tastes good.  It drives your mom crazy.  What could be more fun for a dog?  I mean besides eating shoes and getting treats, of course.

MMMM, treats.  I mean…let’s get started!  Step one is to lick the couch.  Lick it a lot.  Leave a big huge wet spot.  Make sure you stay with the spot though…you don’t want your mom to think you peed there.  It should look something like this:

See how I’m staying with the spot?  This is key.  Mom knows that I licked this big spot.  You don’t want to get in trouble for peeing.  The key is too annoy, not get in trouble.

Now, on to Step 2.  When you here your mom (or dad) coming, start licking again.  You’re trying to get caught in the act.  When mom walks in and catches you, make this face:

It’s the classic, “I’m busted,” face.  Mom’s fall for it every time!  Now she’s going to start scolding you.  Here’s where you really get to work your puppy magic.  Pull out the, “I feel so guilty for licking the couch please love me and give me treats,” face.  Like this:

No mom (or dad) can resist that face.  You’ll get a nice cuddle and be told not to do it again!  It’s awesome.  You get to be naughty, make a mess, taste the couch, and get away with it!  What could be better.  Now, go try it and let me know how it goes!

Guys, I’m counting on you — Smalls, Kaya, Ben, Ted, Gus, and Zapp!
