Doggy Dress Up?

Oh my goodness I am tired! If I closed my eyes right now I’d be sleeping for sure. But instead I am trying to peruse blogs about the new Apple updates and read up on iOS 4.1 to see what new goodies it will bring to my iP4 :) Today was brain draining at work and tomorrow will be as well – I need to get nice and rested up for my 6 hour drive to see my father and brother on Friday (hopefully only a half day of work).

I’m trying to decide whether or not to dress up the pups for Hallowe’en. The dogpark I got to is having a Hallowe’en dog party and I just don’t know. I thought of just buying two big bow ties and calling it a day. This would a) keep costs low and b) easy on the boys since they are use to wearing things around their neck when we’re out anyways.

If you have animals…do you dress them up on occasion?

I Am Raising A Giant

Elvis has a quickie vet appointment tonight. He had to get weighed so they could give me the 2nd half of his heart worm meds as back in April/May they weren’t sure what his size was going to be. Elvis and myself walk into the office tonight and we here “Elvis, you have grown! You’re not a 3/4 pug mix you’re a giant pug!”. Seriously folks…I think he is mixed with some giant dog breed as my 7.5 month old dog is bigger than Bruiser who is 1/2 puggle and 1/2 beagle who is 2.5 months year old.

I have been trying to contact a human at the OSPCA to get an appointment to get my giant neutered to no avail. Since they don’t allow messages I just have to keep trying. I’m hoping with neutering goes the urge to make friends with his bed on a regular nightly interval.

On a different note, I’ve been looking at some accredited online schools and thinking of getting in some US accounting/business courses under my belt. I am sure we do business like the US and that they have some form of GAAP (generally approved accounting principles) but I’m thinking of just doing a couple to double check. Maybe even a SOX one.

Though with year end approaching (Sep 30), any courses I may wish to take won’t be until the new year. And with the new year comes the new place. So maybe next summer? LOL.

It’s 9:18pm and I’m zonked, I think I’m going to post this and maybe call it a night.

The boys


These are my dogs. Bruiser is on the left and Elvis is on right. This photo was taken today at the dog park.

Bruiser is a beagle/pug (50/50) mix and Elvis is suppose to be the same though reported to be 3/4 pug and remainder beagle. However, he is taller and wider than Bruiser and he is 7.5 months old!

I fear I have a horse in disguise on my hands, lol.

Expensive Chew Toys…

I had to run to Walmart today so I could pick up a remote for the bedroom TV as Elvis thinks it is a chew toy…

This is my fourth universal remote plus let us not forget the original one that came with the TV, that Bruiser destroyed. It is not like I leave them laying around, kind of. With Bruiser I could leave it under a pillow in the bedroom and all would good in my world.

Elvis, removes all four pillows off the bed every.single.day (and brings them to the foyer I might add) and found the remotes (tv and dvd player which I’m not replacing). Another time I put it in my malm side table shelf which obviously is not Elvis proof.

Let’s see how long this one lasts (yes this photo is the one I bought this time).

Smart or Dumb?

I have an iPhone 4 and I love it. I had an iPhone 3G prior so I really notice a speed difference on of the phone. I like that it can take HD video and takes really great photos and it has basically replaced my digital camera. Before switching to the iPhone last year I did read a lot of cell phone reviews. I wasn’t sure if I really needed a smart phone and did I really need to be able to surf the web with it?

The answer is yes! When I was in line waiting to buy my iP4 I was able to search out other stores in case I was not the right number in line to pick up the phone that day. When I was at Petsmart last weekend and realized that ‘moving to another location’ meant they had nothing, I quickly launched Safari and found the next nearest Petsmart and then entered their address into mapquest mobile and off I went listening to the phone tell me to turn right or turn left when it came time too.

I will also be using it to get me to Petawawa next weekend as I head to visit my Dad and brother. And I know…that if I do get lost, I have my phone to save me.

My 3G? Going to my brother – he’s very excited and I am excited for him :)
