Pretty please....

Hello DWB pals. I am writing today to BEG you to please consider helping my mom. My mom has the possibility of representing the Animal Rescue League of Boston in the 2010 Boston Marathon. She is raising pledges to try to be picked as the runner who will get the marathon number that has been given to the League. The winner will be based on who can raise the most in pledges between now and October 31st. 100% of donations raised will go to the charity.

The Animal Rescue League of Boston is a humane organization that: places homeless pets with loving people, helps prevent cruelty and neglect, promotes humane education as well as other services for animals such as veterinary care, animal rescue, foster care, rehabilitation and training. To learn more about the Animal Rescue League click HERE.

Additionally, next May my mother is turning 5.714 dog years (40 in human years) and it would be great if I could help her attain one of her dreams as a 40th birthday present - that is, to run the Boston Marathon.

If you can help please email: petfxr@gmail.com with the amount that you can pledge.

Please spread the word.

What a glorious weekend!

Last weekend some of my DWB buddies came to visit...or so I was told. You see - as a special surprise my special square sweetie got us a private room at the Hotel Doglowe. I am pretty sure that Asta, Duffy, Lacie, Agatha & Archie, Mango and Dexter were around but I do not remember seeing them too much.

I think I remember Lacie enjoying a glass of wine

And then Asta joining her

And a few more glasses later....

And me having some "private time" with my sweetie

Oh wait! Mom said that this is a "G-rated" blog....well...let's just say that we had a wonderful weekend!

Thank you to all who travelled to Beantown!

DWB Beantown Weekend!

Okay, okay!

I can't wait! I am super excited for my DWB friends' visit this weekend. I know I don't look it in this picture it is just that I have gained a little weight and the dress is let's say, a little snug. Lacie told me that "snug" was good so I will take her word for it.

So far the plans are weather dependent but I do know that a trip to the famous Boston Public Library, the Freedom Trail, dinner in the North End (Italian) and a visit to Mango's estate is on the schedule.

Very, very exciting!!!

Okay, I need to paw-pare some more because the mum of a famous square dog is arriving soon!

Our famous houseguest Eli Manning C.

Sorry friends, I know that it has been a long time...

So to begin, I would like to tell you that our friend Elizabeth did very well with her surgery - thank you all for your kind thoughts. To read about her progress or to check out her very interesting blog click HERE and make sure to say hello!

While Elizabeth was in the hospital we invited her fur baby Eli Manning C. to come over.

Here is a picture of us on the couch (he takes up more room than I would like)

Don't worry Eric there was absolutely no touching!

Here's a pic of Riley and Eli out for a walk

The "whole gang" waiting for mom to bring dad coffee

Unbeknownst to me after said coffee run Eli actually got to go to work with mom!!! I was not too pleased at this because I NEVER get to go anymore!

Eli the everpresent lap dog:

Eli trying to help out a customer:

He was the perfect guest while here but I have to say that I did not like having to share mom and dad's affection.

Welcome Eli!

Remember I had you all consider your bucket list a few posts back? Well, our friends E & B checked off one item from their bucket list by getting a dog! I am pleased to introduce Eli, their new bundle of fur. He was adopted from a rescue and travelled all the way up from Tennessee.

Here he is inspecting the gifts we selected for him:

Chewing on a bully stick....we won't tell his pawrents what they are REALLY made of. Ignorance is bliss occasionally.

Isn't he cute?

Don't worry Eric my sweetie pie, I still only have eyes for you! Plus, we haven't met him pawsonally yet. I have a feeling that mom thought that Riley would have been too overwhelming for him because we all know that I am a perfect angel.

Mom & dad went to meet him yesterday and said that he was a wonderful dog!

Congratulations E & B! Two paws up!

To be-nign or not to be.

Thanks to the crack nursing team of Asta, Agatha and Lacie I recovered uneventfully from the annie-stetik...my recovery from Lacie's smoothies was a different story (see picture below). Thank you to my nursie friends and to my handsome square dog Eric for helping me through my recovery.

Even Riley donned a pair of scrubs to try and help out - frankly I think he was just doing it to try and nab a Lacie smoothie.

Here is a pic of my "franken butt" - mom says that she will remove the stitches for me in a couple of days; just in time for Petey and Rosie's wedding!! Woot!

By the way - my lump that was removed ended up being benign! Phew!

Thanks to all of you for sending your healing vibes!
