Heartbreak in Houston

I just read about some horrific news on Mr. Pip's bloggy about our beloved Houston Pittie Pack suffered an unimaginable tragedy last night ...a fire took their home and the lives of five of their beloved dogs, including our beautiful blogville miracle, Shelby.

My heart stopped and my stomach sank. we have all followed precious Shelby's story from the painful beginning. We prayed for her and cheered her on as she beat the odds that were set against her and SURVIVED. There really are no words to describe how deeply saddened we are at this horrific event.

Tomorrow's Grand Finale of Mr. Pip's Couch Occupation will be dedicated to Guero, Coco Chanel, Tiger, Lucky, and Shelby. This is no longer about couches, but about supporting and standing with our friends.

Along side with Mr. Pip, tomorrow i will be hosting a comment-a-thon and for every comment left on tomorrow's post, I too (just like Mr. Pip) will donate .50 to the Houston Pittie Pack Family. So please, comment away!

if you would like to donate directly to The Houston Pitty-Pack fire recovery, you can do so directly via the ChipIn Widget located at the top right of my bloggy will send your donations directly to The Houston Pitty-Packs mommy to help with any immediate expenses she may incur. Remember that there is no such thing as a donation too small...every penny helps

I had turned the comments section off on this post yesterday as we took the day in silence and kept The Pitty-Pack family in our hearts and prayers as we will continue to do.

i have opened the comments section of this post so please comment away.

We Got An Award and we have to share it with you!

Nola a super cute little Dachshund gave me and my sisters an Award! WE have not had an award in so long this is super exciting! And were even more excited to share it with you all! Ok...heres the Award...

Liebster Award

These are the rules for the Liebster Award:

1. Thank the giver and link back to them.
~> Super BIG THANK YOU NOLA!

2. Reveal your top five picks {with less than 200 followers} and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
~> OMD this is going to be WAY too tough to chose just five...

3. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
~> Done!

4. Hope that the people you’ve sent the award to forward it to their five favorite up-and-coming bloggers and keep it going!
~> I'm still stuck on only being able to pick five...well see how this goes...I hold so many of you close to my heart i might have to share it with you all...

Ok, ok, ok... Here it goes...and here's what I'm going to do...I am going to pick my top five followers AND every furkid who visits my bloggy is welcome to help themselves to the badge as well. ( i wish i could give the badge back to Nola because she is definitely a loyal follower!)

Tessa the Maltese - Tessa and her mommy my family and i hold VERY close and dear to our hearts. Tessa's mommy once told us that she followed our bloggy before she even had Tessa and it was our bloggy that inspired her to start Tessa's blog when she first got Tessa!

Baby Rocket Dog & Hootie - Now, these two are new to my bloggy but they have definitely kept me entertained since meeting them when they entered our Awkward family photo contest. they look so alike my sisters and i cannot tell which one is Hootie and which is Rocket Dog but were sure that if we ever got a chance to meet them in person we could figure it out.

Lilibell & Chewy- did you know that Lilibell's mommy is a top notch doggy clothing designer!? she makes the most beautiful dresses! Lilibell has a super cute little hop-skip-jump-wiggle to her walk just like me (Coco Bean) and her brother Chewy looks exactly like my sister Truffle!

Lola & Tucker (live together but have separate bloggs) - These are two cool furkids! Lola is a Pug Tucker is a Chihuahua like me and my sisters! Lola & Tucker's mommy is also very talented and not only makes beautiful snow globes but also takes special requests!!

Stewey - this spunky Pembroke Welsh Corgi is always well dressed! major kudos for that!

Again, i have to share this with not only the furkids listed above, but with ALL my followers!

Operation "Occupy your Couch"

I'm a big supporter of Mr. Pip and wanted to spread the word that all of us fur-kids need to occupy our couches until Mr. Pip gets either a new couch or his old couch back!

Here is a photo of me occupying my couch:

tried to help mommy wrap presents.....

and this is what happens. Darn my dew claws for not functioning like my mommy's thumbs!Wile i was helping mommy with the ribbon...Truffie was trying on her holiday outfits...

Elf Truffie

Reindeer Truffie

Mommy decided that we would wear our special occasion winter clothes for the holidays this year...which meant that Truffie doesn't get to look goofy which i'm sure she'll be ok withAlthough, I'm sure Truffie will find a way to wear her Reindeer antlers with her nice dress shirt and she'll probably tell mommy it'll keep her head worm. Darn her for having such good excuses to be such a goofball!

I guess i cant be mad at her for it though...after all, i am the QUEEN of excuses as to why i need to look like a Princess and be decked out in my best outfits and jewelry/collars any time there is company or we go out.

My First Trip to the Beach!

Daddy came over SUPER early in the morning (5:15am) and woke me and mommy up and told us that we were going to go to the beach to watch the sun rise. Now...i had no idea what a beach was or what it meant to watch the sun rise, but i know what "ride in the car" means and i was super excited! Here are the photos of my first trip to the beach!

First, we walked...well, i didn't walk...mommy walked while i hitched a ride in her jacket.there were so many new sounds...waves softly crashing on the sand, birds chirping and singing...even a hawk kept flying by making hawk noises. mommy wouldn't put me down because daddy said that the hawk probably thought i was food!

When we got to another section of the beach, this is the beautiful sight we got to see...And then the sun started to come out from behind the mountains...I met a red bone coon hound who was super friendly and sweet like my cousin Abbie and was very gentle with me. mommy said that he felt like velvet. since the other dogs at the beach were on leashes and all seemed very friendly (and the hawk was not around anymore) mommy decided to let me experience sand for the first time...Mommy thought that when i felt sand under my feet for the first time i might get a little weirded-out (like when i walked on grass for the first time) but i didn't. instead i let my schnoozle to the leading for me! my schnoozle went right for the sand and i kept following all the smells - boy-oh-boy were there TONS of smells and it was SO much fun! i even managed to get sand on the top of my head! (mommy has no idea how i managed this). i found a shell and licked it...take my word for it when i tell you it smells better than it tastes.

after about 20 minutes, mommy saw something right when she took this photo...do you see what my mommy saw??? I started limping and favoring my left hind leg...the one i had knee surgery on back in March. So mommy put me back in her jacket. I was ok with it because it was a long way back to the car and mommy's knees are much better than mine and hanging out in her jacket was the best seat in the house! (Note from mom: tried to upload the pix of Coco Bean in my jacket but they were coming out upside down when blogger uploaded them).

by the time we got back to the car, i was super tired...(the photos are coming out upside down again so until i have a fix for this, you'll have to imagine Coco Bean fast asleep on my lap).

then we went to down town Half Moon Bay and had brunch at a fur-kid friendly cafe. by the time i got home i didn't want anything to do with my sisters because i was so tired! This is my "leave me alone or I'm going to yip at you!" facei curled up with mommy and went back to sleep...I didn't want to cuddle with anyone but my mommy so instead of upsetting me, Truffle curled up close by to me instead...
I hope you enjoyed reading about my first trip to the beach and looking at my photos!
