Now let’s get ready for the SuperBowlWow!!!

My yorkie jaw hit the floor when I first saw these pictures: the camera adores our newest gang member (and supermodel) Tessie!!! How can you possibly resist that smile?! Sorry for all these exclamation points, but Tessie is absolutely stunning!!!

I have to start by saying bow wow wowzwer!!! Nico is an AMAZING little yorkie looking for his forever home in Brooklyn: he’s eight years young (my age!) and an absolute dream of a dog. He is being fostered by an awesome family in Greenpoint – his foster brother Louis XIV is already part of the gang and gave us the scoop: we can vouch that pretty boy Nico is absolutely cool with other dogs & with cats. Oh, he is totally vetted and had a dental where some of the teeth were removed so he just got a clean bill of health. He is an incredibly sweet and loving dog who follows his foster mom everywhere. She adores him! Please contact us if you are interested in adopting this gorgeous, perfect boy and we will connect you to his peeps.

Have you heard of the Santa Paws Drive? Santa Paws Drive is an amazing effort dedicated to helping shelter animals around the world have a little holiday love too. While waiting for their forever home, these furry friends are often overlooked during the holidays and it is their goal to make sure they get the love, attention and gifts that other pets are lucky enough to get. For their third year, Santa Paws Drive is doing the first “virtual toy drive” for pets: choose to donate either cash or gifts and the Santa Paws elves will divide up the goodies and money and send them off to six shelters across the world. The goal is $900 plus oodles of toys and treats for each shelter! Now let’s go help those furry elves…

Here’s how us dogs yelp that famous holiday song (get your cheat sheet from this dishtowel):

A Peekapoo in a Pear Tree

Two Chewed slippers

Three Chased Cars

Four Guarded Doors

Five Golden Retrievers

Six Flowers a-Flying

Seven Westies Walking

Eight Legs a-Lifting

Nine Hounds a-Howling

Ten Fleas a-Leaping

Eleven Labs Licking

Twelve Leashes Tugging

My mom misses having me at work – Mr Phoo went to the office with her every day & absolutely loved it! He would even jump in the bag and just wait while she is ready to leave. Me, I get reeeeally bored after a while and bark until she takes me home. Plus I think my dad would he helpless without my guidance. Helpless! So I am thinking of getting her a Solar Dog to keep her puppy fix throughout the day. A solar panel on the collar powers up the tail, that just wags and wags and wags. Like mine.

The perpetrator in that disturbing youtube of a hooded youth chewing on shoes and raising hell on the L train in the wee hours of the night has been nabbed! Here is the incriminating photo that led to cute mugster Sasha. The foul mouth kitten friend Nala, who filmed the whole thing, is still at large.

I observe. I take notes. And yes, my dog friends: zombies are already amongst us. This is an excerpt from the Beer Doggles Dossier.

The author researching at **** ***** *****  - Brooklyn, NY – October 2011

Just a little info on my background: my name is Steve and I am a yorkie. I married young, right out of obedience school – then came kids, picket fences, my very own 5 and a half-ish years suburban existence. You get the picture.  However, after a big turn of events, I ended getting divorced and moved to NYC with my new parents to help run the Gangs of New Yorkie. That was about the time when I first came in touch with zombies.

I am used to bars. Heck, I even manage a nightclub called Pups. I am used to the mayhem of too much fun. I am a terrier, for pupsake! But I gotta tell you that humans are one weird-ass breed. When my parents sat me down to tell me that they would like to expose me to all kinds of situations to help me socialize better (yeah right), little did I know that they meant I would have to learn to live with all species… Living or not! You see, my parents have the habit of taking me to bars whenever they want to hang out with their friends. That’s when I came to the conclusion that bars are nothing but the changing room for zombies.

Let me walk you through it: we get to the bar, grab a table, my mom pops up my collapsible bowl so I get some libations too (even though I must say that my choices are pretty limited in comparison) and within minutes you can just see them turning… That nice hipster guy that pet me on the way in?  Give a couple of hours and a slurring, wobbling creature replaces him trying to get to me. That cute tattooed chick that just smiled at my pretty yorkie face? After I put the beer doggles on, it is just another clumsy arm reaching out for me. And no, I don’t think bar zombies are after my brain – I am well aware of my dogger charm.

Do you see where I am going, though? We are obviously  irresistible to both humans and booze zombies – sloppy as they may be! So I ask you my canine friends: how can we benefit from this? Unfortunately the health department does not allow establishments that serve food to allow us in otherwise we were golden! I thought of good old blackmail, just getting the phone out & taking pictures is out of question as zombies are not particularly found of flashlights…

While you think of ways we can extort them, I will leave you with scenes of this year’s Zombie Crawl in my neighborhood.

Have some extra room in bed but cannot adopt or foster another doggie? Well, then Bob is here to help you out. Bob loves sniffing around, walking, not listening and stealing sandwiches from the kitchen sink. But most of all Bob loves sleeping. So much that he ended up having his real size photo catching some zzzzzs printed on a soft cotton duvet by Snurk Bedding. Love that a photo of Bob the muse is also featured on the online shop… Awake!
