See where we are going on the map

This is how far we are driving to BlogPaws.

Today Mommy bought a book of maps to show me where we are going on our trip next week. We are starting at the top piece of dog food and ending at the bottom piece of dog food, which is about fortyleven miles, or breakfast to dinner.

Except we are going to stop at Grandpa and Carol's on the way down so it will be dinner to bedtime one day, and then breakfast to snack time the next, with some time in between to chase cats.

Cassie is driving home from Florida right now. Look at how far it is from one dog food to the next for that trip! It's eleventyseventy miles! We are glad she is coming home. That is too far away to live from your mommy and Grandma and Dali.



Look at how far Cassie has to drive to come home!

I didn't know that America was so big. There is a whole page we won't even drive near. If I'm a good boy, maybe we will plan another trip in the dogmobile.

Love
BANDIT

Thanks Grandma, for helping me go to BlogPaws 2011!!

Some people have said, "Gee Bandit, we would like to help pay for your trip to BlogPaw!" But Mommy has said, "No, it's okay, we have enough money."

Except we don't have enough money because yesterday the dogmobile had to get some stuff fixed and now we don't have enough to pay for our hotel.

Aunt Jackie said, "Hey Bandit! You should put a sponsor box on your blog so people can give you some money!"

Mommy says it is impolite to beg for biscuits, but I am NOT going to stay home with my stupid sister Bailey. We got into a big fight this week and we both got some good boo boos on our heads. Besides, me and Mommy both need some adventure.

So yesterday I made a box in case people want to donate some money so I can go to BlogPaws.

We need about eleventyfortyteen dollars to go. Grandma gave us a lot of money yesterday so now we only need fiftyleventeen dollars. Thanks Grandma! You're the best!

So if you have an extra biscuit you'd like to give us, you can use the pretty little box that is right there or you can visit my ChipIn page.

Thanks!!
Love,
BANDIT!!!

Getting ready for our BlogPaws 2011 adventure

Mommy is getting us ready for our adventure in eleventeen days when we go to Virginia and BlogPaws. She is making a list of stuff to pack:

toothbrush
toothpaste
jammies
hair junk
pen
papers
shoes
socks
understuff
clothes
camera
maps
money
blah
blah
blah

Here is my packing list:
biscuits
blankie
Mommy

This is going to be an exciting trip! Mommy even ordered me my own business cards so I can be very professional in case someone wants to hire me to write a super duper column for their tasty magazine. Or in case I pee on something and she has to tell them where to send the cleaning bill.

We are also going to have a movie night while we are there! It's a movie about dogs and it's going to be lots of fun. And I'll bet there will be popcorn!

Anyway, we leave in eleventeen days and we will be gone for seventyleven thousand hours. We might even stop and visit Grandpa on the way except he has cats and we are not sure if dogs are allowed.

Daddy will stay home and be in charge of Bailey and Scout. He will have to feed them and give them their medicines and make sure Bailey doesn't pee on everything and tear apart the couch pillows and bark for fortyleven hours a day.

Me and Mommy are going to have lots of fun. Daddy is probably not.

Love,
BANDIT!!!!!

Bandit's going to BlogPaws 2011!

"OK, Mommy! Let's load up the suitcase with some tennis balls and biscuits and my blankie and hit the road!"


Mommy said today, "Bandit, how would you like to go on a big, big, big adventure with me?"

Yes, Mommy, I would like that very much. Can we leave right now?

She said we are going to someplace called BlogPaws. It is a big party for pets and their people in Virginia, which is right near Washington, DC! Maybe I'll call my pal Bo Obama and see if he wants me to come over for a romp in the Rose Garden.

We will drive to BlogPaws in the dogmobile and stay in Mr. Sheraton's hotel and have lots of good times.

I have never slept over at someone else's house. Except for that time when I ate Mommy's inhaler and had to go stay at Dr. Simon Kirk's emergency hosptial where they took out my blood and did experiments and gave me my super power. (Aunt Jackie, what am I thinking right now?)

Mommy says a hotel is not like that at all. She says it's one big pawjama party! You can romp around and eat snacks and stay up late and jump on the beds. Dr. Simon Kirk's hospital is not like that. Although I did get to wear a lampshade on my head.

Mommy is very excited because she says we never do anything fun. So we are taking the dogmobile to Jim the Car Fixer Guy next week and he'll tell us how many bazillion dollars we need to spend so it will be safe to drive eleventeen hours to BlogPaws. Then we will pack our suitcases and get ready to GO!

I guess I better start practicing how to be a good dog, because just in case you didn't know, you are allowed to pee inside at Miss Sherri's romping palace but you are not allowed to pee inside Mr. Sheraton's hotel.

Love
BANDIT!!!

The Ghost Puppy strikes again

Uh oh. The Ghost Puppy chewed up Mommy's new shorts.

 Gee, Mommy. Me and Bailey feel really bad that the Ghost Puppy chewed up your new pants. Maybe he was trying to find a biscuit you left in your pocket?

That's all we have to say about that.

Love
BANDIT!!! (and Bailey)

We had a busy weekend

It was a busy weekend. Mommy and Aunt Jackie and Grandma went out to birthday lunch at a restaurant. Us dogs were not invited. Boo on that.

GRANDMA!!!!


Then Mommy and Aunt Jackie went out at night to see Uncle Al play his guitar. We were not allowed there, either. Me and Scout were mad because Roxanne was there and we haven't seen her since we went to her house to get bathed and brushed and fluffed up. We like Roxanne a lot. Boo on that, Mommy. Maybe next time Uncle Al will play at a bar that lets dogs come and watch.


Uncle Al and his friends Warren and Chuck. No dogs allowed.

Cassie came to visit from Florida! Yay! Mommy and Bailey went to Grandma's house on Sunday to visit. Me and Scout had to stay home. Too many dogs and not enough room in Grandma's house. Dali and Bailey had lots of romps.


Romps at Grandma's house

While Mommy was out, I wrote her column for the Christian Voice Magazine because she forgot to do it. She writes the stuff she has to do on a board and then Murphy rolls around on it and erases it.  Bad kitty. But I am a good office helper. I wrote a good column.

Then on Monday, Dali came to our house! Us four dogs had a romping time. We ran, we barked, we had some biscuits.

Dali,  Bailey, Scout and me

Then Daddy's friend Mike came over with his girlfriend Andrea and their kids Conner and Brennan. They were out for a bike ride and decided to come and see us stinky dogs and our stinky chickens. Andrea doesn't like dogs so we didn't jump on her. But we jumped on her kids!

Today Bailey has to go see Dr. Hall to see if she can make Bailey's hips not hurt so much so she will stop being so cranky. Look, here is a picture of Bailey's bones!

So we're tired. I think it might be a Sleepy Nap Day.

Love,
BANDIT!!!!
