Shall-Ay Adventure: Palo Duro Canyon

Hi everybuddy! So, if you follow my Facebark page, you know that we just got to go on another  Most Funtastic Shall-Ay Adventure!

This time, we were heading out to meet my Auntie K and Uncle C (and a couple of their furends) in a place called Palo Duro Canyon in a state named Texas.

On Thursday night, mom and dad got everything loaded and away we went with me navigating!

Always keep your eyes on the road!

Now, we didn’t go all the way to Texas that first night. We stopped in another state called New Mexico. Now, I like New Mexico a lot cuz that’s where Auntie K and Uncle C used to live. So the next morning, when mom and dad said that we had to get going, I tried my best to convince them that we should just stay in New Mexico.

It's so comfy here in New Mexico!

So while I worked my whiles on dad…

Wouldn't you just rather hang out in New Mexico skritching me than get in the car and drive again?

Mom went to use the little girl’s room. And that’s when she saw THIS…

Mom thought there was a woeful lack of specific information on this sign.

By the time she got back, nothing I could say or do would make her stay in New Mexico! But I at least was able to talk them into taking us for a little hike first…

Did you hear that, Mom? I think it's a RATTLER!

Where I found the Most AWESOMEST bone ever! But wouldn’t you know it? Mom wouldn’t let me keep it.

Mom and Dad promised that the trip would be worth it and there would be lots of scenery to see and places to sniff. And boy, were they right! THIS is the first thing we saw when we got there!

Before we knew it, our Super Funballs Shall-Ay Adventure was over and it was time to go home. I wonder where our Shall-Ay will take us next?

Welcome to Our New Home!

TAH DAH! Welcome to our spiffy new place!

change of address

So what do you think? Do you likes our new digs?

Now, we’re still in the pawcess of getting all the furniture arranged just how we like it. So over the next coupla weeks, you might see some things shift around here and there. But all-in-all, we seem to be settling in real good.

Feel free to take a look around. Be sure and check out our new “get around” bar up at the top. Under “Stuff I Dig,” you’ll find our bloggie roll. We tried to make sure we didn’t forget anybuddy in the move but you never know. If your bloggie isn’t in there, let me know so I can add it, okay?

Oh! And you’ll also see that I’ve added some stuff about B.S.L. (Breed Specific Legislation) and pit bull-type doggies. That way, if you ever wanna know more about it — or are trying to talk to somebuddy else about those subjects — you can just send ‘em here and we’ll be happy to help ‘em out. (That’s one room we’re still trying to get all unpacked but we’ve got a good start.)

We’re also gonna add a game room where we’ll have reviews and giveaways and stuff. So that should be oodles of fun!

Now, Mom did some voodoo hoodoo  magic to make sure you got redirected from our old place to our new place. But if you’ve got our old address in your bookmarks or in a reader, be sure to change that to http://mayziesdogblog.com so you don’t ever get lost trying to find your way here, okay?

Alrighty, I think that’s about it for now. You just make yourself at home and I’m going to do a little more unpacking. Well…right after a nap, that is. (Moving is EXHAUSTING!)4_29_13 Mayzie Bed

Smudge’s Gotcha Day

Hi everyone! It’s me…Smudge. Smudgemeister. Smudge-a-roo. The Smudge Man.

Did you like those? Those are all nicknames mom and dad have given me since I came to live here one year ago today!

Hey, Smudge! Smudge!

Uh, yes, Mayzie?

You left out my favoritest name that mom calls you: Smudge Pants!

Oh, haha. Yeah, um, so I wasn’t going to tell them that one.

Why not?

Well, it’s a little embarrassing, you know.

Oh, gosh, I think Smudgie Wudgems is WAY worse.

Okay, wow…thanks for helping me out, Mayzie.

Anytime, Smudge Pants.

Anyway, as I was saying, it’s been one whole year since I left my old job at HemoSolutions and moved in with my new family. And, well, I just couldn’t be happier.

Oh, sure…there have been some bumps along the way. And by bumps, I mean REAL bumps! Remember when I had chin acne?

OUCH!

OUCH!

Which meant I had to go visit my nice skin doctor lady about 87 million times. (But that was really okay cuz she gives the BEST massages.)

And then I broke out in hives from some of the medicines.

OUCH AGAIN!

OUCH AGAIN!

And oh, yeah…I also found out I have ass-muh and they shaved me half-bald to do that skin test on me to see what I’m allergic to.

But honest…the good has outweighed all of that stuff by a LOT!

I have pawsome siblings to hang out with.

And best of all, I know that I’m loved to the ends of the earth and back. (That’s what my mom says, and between you and me, that’s why I let her call me Smudge Pants whenever she wants.)

Yep, adopting my family was a pretty good decision on my part.

So Happy Gotcha Day to…
