Delay of Game

Dexie has some news she just HAD to tell you.  I, on the other hand, am very good at keeping my yapper closed.  Baked beans anyone? 



















LL is going on a vacation for a couple weeks, so I'll be away from my blog for a while.   LL thought letting us play with these giant stuffies would make the news easier to take, especially when she told us that we couldn't go with her...boy was she wrong.

Dexie:  "WHAT? We aren't going too?"
Me: "I KNEW there was a catch to getting these stuffies.  Ready Dexie?  Do the sad face and make her feel bad."
LL: "I have never seen such faces on you two!  I'll come back, I promise.  Then I'll help you with your blog, Sierra.  There may even be some awesome pictures to post when I get back."

So don't worry, folks.  I'll be back blogging soon.  Until then, I will be working on this stuffie. Although that may take a while!

I'll miss you all! Oh- and I'll miss LL too.

PS: Can you guess where she is going?  Here are some hints:
1) She is going to another country!
2) The people in this country speak Spanish.
3) The country ranks first in the Happy Planet Index and is the "greenest" country in the world.
4) She will be spending most of her time doing this! (without me, boo-who!)

 5) The country's currency is the colón (colones plural).
6) The country's flag:

Any guesses?

LOVE is in the Air!

Spring is here and LOVE is in the air!  As you probably have heard by now, Auggie and Ti have asked me to be their girlfriend! 

Can you believe it?  I am just so amazed, surprised, and humbled to be asked by such wonderful, generous, handsome and CLEAN boys.  I am truly smitten. =)
Aren't they just the MOST handsome boys you ever did see?
Well, a girl cannot keep her boys waiting and wondering, "What will she say?!", so I enlisted the help of my trusty sidekick, Dexie, and my very favorite stuffies to help me answer Augie and Ti.
And my answer is:

Y

E

S

!

Thank you so much Augie and Ti! I am yours 4-ev-R!   Hum... but two boys can be a lot to handle. Dexie what do you say to helping me out?

There's a happy girl!

We LUV you Augie and Ti!

And now for the blooper reel: Find a compfie seat, there's a lot!
So cute, but can't read the signs!

 A little too much leg.

Something smells good over there.

  Me: Must hold head still. No drop flower.   Dexie: Why did I get the dumb bow?

  Otta here!

  Kisses to Ti.                                                                        

 Smooches to Augie.   And sooo many more bloopers, but I think you get the point! =)

Contest winner! And.... did you hear the BIG NEWS?

Announcing the Winner of the "Count The Puppy Tongues" contest.
This was a toughie!  And the answer?  18!  We had 4 correct answers! (Don't feel bad guys, this was a REALLY tough contest!!!  I think some of the pictures were pretty sneaky about those tongues- or lack of them!  Next time will be easier.)
We put names in a hat.... ('cause we are old school)

 

And I pick.... 

THIS one.

 



















Drum roll please..................
I can't wait!  Who is it?

It's KHYRA!!!!!  Congratulations Khyra!  If you haven't met my friend Khyra, she is a serious beauty of a Siberian Husky who REALLY loves the snow.  Give her a visit if you get a chance.  She and her peeps are GREAT and do wonderful things for puppy rescue.  Three cheers for Khyra!
Khyra, soon you will receive your prize if LL can pry it out of my mouth first!

(Scary green-eyed monster not included.)  The silly woman actually thought that she could sneak this in the house without me noticing! Ha!
All kidding aside, our sincerest CONGRATULATIONS to you, Khyra!
Thank you to everyone who entered! I wish we could send everyone one of you a treat for trying. =)

And...NOW FOR THE BIG NEWS!
I have some admirers! *Blush*
You have to go and check out Augie and Ti's blog for all the details.  As you may know, Dexie and I have a HUGE crush on these boys, so I bet you can guess my answer!  =)
Stay tuned for the official word!

We hiked! Also featuring the Tongue Game...Good luck!

Hi Everyone! Do you want to play a game?  It's called "Count the Puppy Tongues."  (Ok, so I totally made that up, can you tell?)
How many pink puppy tongues can you count throughout this post? Biggify if you feel the need.
Here an example of a picture with 0 tongues.

 

And  here is an example of a picture with 1 tongue. 

Got it? (I know it's not that hard, but a prize is involved, so I had to be clear.)  Leave a comment with the CORRECT answer and you will be entered into the drawing for a little goody!  The contest ends at 6pm (Tucson time) on February 28th, so you only have a few days.  Good luck!

Ready? Start counting from here...

We Hiked! 

We have stayed indoors WAY too much lately, but the sun was shining and we felt like an adventure. "Ye-Ha!" (That's Cowgirl talk for "Let's go ya'll.  I'm itching to hike!")

LL ties on my imaginary leash.  Freedom!  But I have to come when called EVERY time.

"No problem!"

"Come on guys, I'll lead the way to our special rock."

We found "our" rock.

It's a special place to take a rest.

Good thing, because Dexie was dead-dog-tired.

LL smelled "something funny." After a while she pin-pointed the cause of the lovely odor. It may or may not have been the cow poo-poo that I rolled in on our way to the special rock.  "Perfume of the  Desert Gods" I call it.  LL begs to differ.  You can barely see it in this picture, but it smelled GREAT and made my fur so lovely- trust me.

Good 'ol BM says: "That's ok, Sierra.  I'll hang out with you."
That's why he is my favorite peep.

That is also why I'm not even the slightest bit tempted to yell "Boo!" and startle him while close to the ledge. Although I thought about it... for a split second.

A hike in the desert wouldn't be complete without a picture in front of a giant Saguaro.

Hey! Where is BM going?

He found some more great rocks!

Dexie liked this one.  So did I!

BM: "Well girl, can you find our way back to the truck?"

Me: "No problem! Just follow me."

The END(s).

How many puppy tongues did you count?
Good luck!

A note from the Editor:  Don't worry guys, we had plenty of water for Sierra and Dexie and ourselves while we were hiking.  It was just a warm February day and they did a lot of running around.  We obviously got a lot of shots with them showing off their pretty pink tongues! =)
